On the way back to the palace, Zhu Cihong hummed this little song and looked very happy.

Wu Zhong and Xu Sheng looked confused, they didn't know why their Highness was so happy, but they didn't dare to ask, maybe His Highness was because of firearms.

They didn't know that Zhu Cihong already had a very big plan in his heart at this time, and with chili peppers, he could earn a lot of silver!

For example, open a hot pot restaurant, a spicy hot restaurant, a barbecue restaurant, and open a chain store across the country to become bigger and stronger. Think about how popular these shops are in the future, you will know the taste of the Chinese people, and you will definitely be able to make a lot of money.

Zhu Cihong wants to seize the commercial opportunity and prepares to open the first hot pot restaurant in Daming.

As soon as he entered the Forbidden City, Zhu Cihong paused and said, "Wu Daban, last time I heard you say that you have a younger brother named Wu Cheng, who opened a restaurant in his hometown and was crowded and couldn't open it, so he came to the capital to join you?" ”

Wu Zhong didn't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant, but he still replied honestly: "I have already arrived in Beijing City, and I am still working as a partner for my son in a restaurant." ”

Zhu Cihong said: "Wu Daban, this palace plans to arrange your brother." ”

Wu Zhong said with some worry: "Master, this brother has never seen anything, and I am afraid that I will make a mistake for you." ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and said: "With you here, he can't be far behind, as long as he is loyal, this palace will definitely give him a good errand." ”

Wu Zhong hurriedly said: "Then the slave and maid thank the master for my brother first, I don't know what the master commands?" ”

Zhu Cihong told Wu Zhong and asked him to tell his younger brother Wu Cheng to find a more upscale store on Qipan Street outside Chengtianmen and prepare to open a high-end hot pot restaurant.

Zhu Cihong wants to bring the business philosophy of later generations to the Ming Dynasty, and then drum out some of the special eating methods and barbecue spicy tang of later generations, which will definitely be very popular.

When it is profitable, when the time is ripe, it will open a national chain, and then the money will roll in, and then you can do everything.

Of course, he wouldn't use his own name to open a hot pot restaurant, so he found Wu Zhong's younger brother and hung it in his name.

The next day, Zhu Cihong took a free time and took a group of people out of the Forbidden City, and he wanted to meet Wu Zhong's younger brother Wu Cheng in person.

Wu Cheng is a young man, his family was poor and couldn't afford to eat since he was a child, so his brother Wu Zhong entered the palace as a eunuch since he was a child, and sent home a little silver every year to subsidize the family.

After the life of the Wu family improved, Wu Cheng may have been afraid of hunger, and when he grew up, he especially liked to cook, so he opened a small restaurant by himself, wanting to rely on his skills and efforts to save some money to marry a daughter-in-law and inherit the lineage of the old Wu family.

Because of his good craftsmanship, his small restaurant business is quite good, and his life is quite nourishing.

And the good times didn't last long, because he was too honest, and his peers colluded with the bullies in the town to make trouble at his small restaurant every once in a while, and finally made him close the door and transfer the restaurant.

After Wu Cheng came to the capital to join his brother Wu Zhong, he found that although his brother was a popular person next to His Royal Highness the Prince, he did not have the ability to reach the sky, and he did not find an errand for himself.

Wu Cheng still has a conscience, he didn't complain about his brother, he found a restaurant in the capital to be a partner for the cook (chef), and took the opportunity to learn some fresh skills.

Just today, his brother Wu Zhong suddenly found him and said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to see him, which made Wu Cheng stunned for a long time, feeling like he was dreaming.

At the urging of Wu Zhong, Wu Cheng hurriedly changed into clean clothes and came to see him.

In a luxurious private room in a restaurant in the capital, Zhu Cihong looked at Wu Cheng, who was trembling and a little unfavorable in speaking, and was quite satisfied.

After Zhu Cihong learned about Wu Cheng's situation in person, he decided to hand over the affairs of the hot pot restaurant to him.

For starting a side hustle to make money, what he needs is this kind of person who is more honest and responsible, who can strictly implement his plan, and just don't cheat and cheat.

In the afternoon, Zhu Cihong and Wu Cheng were together to discuss the matter of opening a hot pot restaurant, Zhu Cihong dictated the recipes and the management system of the hot pot restaurant, and Wu Cheng was responsible for recording them.

Some of Zhu Cihong's thoughts and ideas stunned Wu Cheng several times, and he felt that his head was not enough.

However, he has also opened his own restaurant and has work experience in a large restaurant, and after Zhu Cihong's explanation, his understanding is not bad.

Zhu Cihong finally told him that this was confidential and could not be leaked without his permission, otherwise he would come to see him.

After Zhu Cihong left, Wu Cheng suddenly felt a burst of relief, everything felt like a dream, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually summoned him in person and chatted with him for so long, he was really flattered.

But when he remembered the last words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he subconsciously touched his head and shivered coldly.

Wu Cheng did not delay, and went around the entire Qipan Street on the same day and found a restaurant with a very good location.

This is a three-storey restaurant facing the street on both sides, with eight rooms, luxurious decoration, complete things inside, you can start to operate, and there is a small courtyard behind, with seven or eight brick houses.

The boss had to sell at a low price because of gambling debts, and the original tens of thousands of taels of belongings now only cost 6,000 taels of silver.

Wu Cheng happened to be in a hurry, and after carefully looking at it for more than half an hour, he finally made up his mind to take down this restaurant.

Wu Cheng is still relatively quick to do things, but it took a few days to simply repair and decorate, and then rearrange it, and the first hot pot restaurant in Daming can be opened for business.

Zhu Cihong is still quite satisfied with Wu Cheng's work, he does not drag his feet, and he is a person who does things.

During this period, Wu Chengtuo's brother Wu Zhong asked Zhu Cihong to give the hot pot restaurant a name, Zhu Cihong didn't say a word, laid out the rice paper with his own hands, and wrote down four big characters - Dezhuang hot pot!

On the first day of opening, the business of Dezhuang hot pot was not very good, Zhu Cihong had already expected that after all, many people still dare not eat this kind of too spicy thing, so he had already planned that the hot pot in the early stage would be slightly spicy, so that people could get used to the taste first.

In addition, Zhu Cihong asked Wu Cheng to hold an event when it opened, and asked beggars to distribute flyers and post small advertisements throughout the city, and Dezhuang hot pot opened with a big reward, and the whole hot pot was free to eat five days before the opening.

Under the free publicity, a large number of people immediately rushed to Dezhuang hot pot to try it. Sure enough, driven by the first batch of crabs, after a few days, many people fell in love with this new dish called hot pot.

With the word of mouth, the fame of Dezhuang hot pot is getting bigger and bigger, and slowly some dignitaries in the capital have come to taste it.

When engaging in free activities, Wu Cheng still couldn't understand why His Royal Highness lost money to shout and let people eat and drink for free.

It wasn't until later, when a large amount of white silver was credited to the account every day, that Wu Cheng knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really a genius!
