Chapter Twenty-Eight: I Seem to Have Forgotten Something
On July 10th, the weather is fine, cloudless, and the breeze is gentle, so it is appropriate to sacrifice, travel, taboo, open, and buried.
"Your Highness, today is not suitable for opening, look at the yellow calendar, today is really not suitable for opening!" Shen Wansan followed Yu Zhiqian's side, holding a yellow calendar in his hand, and kept begging bitterly.
"I've told you everything, this thing is an old tradition, I can't believe it, I think May 10 is a good day!"
"Your Highness, the day of May 14th is better, you see that the yellow calendar says that on May 14th, it is advisable to open, break ground, and take concubines!"
Yu Zhiqian stopped and stared at Shen Wansan: "Wansan, say that you are uneducated, you still don't believe it, you said May 14th, then do you know what the homonym of May 14th is?" ”
"Your Highness, what?"
"I'm going to die! You still want to open on May 14th, what do you want! ”
"Your Highness, Your Highness, but, it's ...... on the yellow calendar"
"Okay, don't say it, it's just today, the notices have been sent, do you want me to be a villain who doesn't believe in my words? Wansan! ”
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Shen Wansan looked at the fruitless persuasion, so he could only shake his head helplessly, the yellow calendar said that today is not suitable for opening, but ......
"Your Highness, the Jinyi Guards have commanded Jing Ke to ask for a meeting!"
Yu Zhiqian was not ready to go out, and was drinking tea while thinking about what he seemed to have forgotten, and when it was still a matter of human life, a guard whispered a report.
"Jing Ke? What did he come to do? ”
Yu Zhiqian frowned, this guy came to find him, there must be nothing good.
"Let him in!"
"Yes!"
Soon, Jing Ke wore a blue robe, walked in slowly, and bowed respectfully after seeing Yu Zhiqian, which was also the first time Yu Zhiqian saw Jing Ke not wearing a brocade robe.
"Your Highness!"
"Well, why does Lord Jing have time to come to my East Palace today? Didn't go to the palace to be on duty? ”
"Your Highness, Jing Ke is resting today, and I have come to visit Your Highness, I don't know if Your Highness has received Weichen's drifting bottle!"
"What's that?"
"It's the drifting bottle that His Highness threw Weichen into the moat a few days ago, I don't know if His Highness received it!"
"......" Yu Zhiqian stared at Jing Ke, this guy really went to throw the drifting bottle according to what he said, he is really an honest man, a good person card.
Yu Zhiqian coughed lightly: "That Jing Ke, the bottle hasn't been received yet, but it should be on the way, or are you waiting for a few days to come?" I'll send someone to let you know when I get it! ”
"I see, His Highness didn't receive the drifting bottle, Jing Ke has been waiting for His Highness to summon him for the past few days, it seems that something went wrong with the drifting bottle!" Jing Ke had a look of sudden realization.
“…… cough cough cough, you may have encountered some problems, such as being swallowed by some big fish, or something else, in this way, I still have some things today, since you are resting, you can go out for a walk, go to Lantian to hunt, go to Qingqing, relax your mood, maybe you can meet a descendant called Lantian Yun, if you don't like it, go to Pingkangfang for a turn! ”
"Oh, that Weichen is retiring!" After Jing Ke finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Yu Zhiqian looked at Jing Ke who left with a confused expression, this goods are here to see if the drifting bottle has arrived? Is there something I don't know about this thing and just say it? What is he doing, he just doesn't like to deal with this kind of person!
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it, I always feel as if I forgot something, and I might still die!" Yu Zhiqian frowned and thought, he has been busy with the buffet for the past two days, as his own career, Yu Zhiqian is very concerned, after all, the title of prince was given by his father, and it may be withdrawn at any time.
If you don't succeed in starting a business, you have to go home to inherit the rich empire, that's not the life Yu Zhiqian wants, a man has to rely on his own hands to stand tall in this world, isn't it beautiful to make money for his own concubines?
Yu Zhiqian kept cheering himself up, but there was always something that kept surrounding Yu Zhiqian's mind, as if he had really forgotten something important, but he couldn't remember it.
"Unimportant things should be forgotten!"
Yu Zhiqian said to himself.
At this time, Zhang Xiaojing, who had finished breakfast, picked his teeth and took Lu Bu to slowly and leisurely sway, Yu Zhiqian's eyes lit up after seeing it: "Zhang Xiaojing, I have been thinking that I have forgotten something recently, you think about it for this palace, what has been forgotten in this palace!" ”
"Your Highness, it seems that you have been busy with the restaurant recently, and there seems to be nothing to do, is there any goods that have not arrived?"
Zhang Xiaojing ate a mint leaf, thought about it for a while, and said seriously.
"Well, I think it's possible, but it shouldn't be this thing, it's a life-threatening matter!!"
Yu Zhiqian nodded approvingly, during this time, he has indeed been busy opening a restaurant, except for the routine greeting of the queen mother every day, he is fine.
"Your Highness!"
At this time, Lu Bu, who was standing aside, suddenly spoke.
"Huh? What's wrong Lu Bu? ”
"Your Highness, I think you may have forgotten that Your Majesty asked you to investigate the fraud case! You must hurry, if you can't find out, I will be sentenced to fifty sentences in twenty-seven days, and I will be imprisoned for thousands of miles! ”
“……”
Yu Zhiqian slapped his head hard: "Yes, my father is here for me to do such a case, don't worry, this palace will not let you go in vain, after all, your sister is called, cough cough, that matter is simple, just catch Su Can back when the time comes!" ”
After hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, Lu Bu nodded, it is indeed very simple, Su Can is ready-made evidence!
Zhang Xiaojing was a little puzzled and said: "Your Highness, it seems that Su Can has been arrested, when we went to the Jinyi Guard Yamen that day, no, we brought it back when we went to Qingwangfu!" ”
Yu Zhiqian only reacted at this time, and patted his forehead vigorously: "I said why did I forget about this, Su Can was arrested by us!" That's okay, the witness is already there, and after the restaurant opens today, I'm interrogating, and I'll probably be able to solve the case! ”
At this time, Zhang Xiaojing's face changed, and he said in a low voice: "Your Highness, if I am not mistaken, at that time, you asked Lord Zhang to take Su Can back to the East Palace, and ordered that no one should approach, and no food or drink was allowed, it has been three days now, Su Can maybe!" ”
"Damn, how did I forget this!"
Yu Zhiqian immediately patted his head vigorously, he forgot about this matter, no wonder he always felt that he would die, he didn't eat or drink for three days, this Su Can wouldn't hang up.
Before, Yu Zhiqian didn't let people send water and food, because he was worried about people with ulterior motives, so he secretly took advantage of his own inattention to give Su Can a little crane top red, Sudan red, gutter oil and other things, and killed Su Can.
A person who doesn't eat may be able to last for five or six or seven days, and the fat people like the crown princess and the author may be able to last for ten days, but if they don't drink water, they may hang up in three days.
"Let's go, lead the way, go and see!"
"Your Highness, I don't know where Su Can is being held!"
"Zhang Zhan, Zhang Zhan, damn it, when I'm not looking for you, the ghost is everywhere, and when I'm looking for you, you will drop the chain for me!" Yu Zhiqian shouted for a long time, but he didn't hear a response.
In the end, Yu Zhiqian spent half an hour and let people drag Zhang Zhan back from Dongshi to know where Su Can was held.
"It's not going to be dead, is it?"
Standing at the door, Yu Zhiqian looked at the room without movement, and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
"You two, has anyone approached here in the past two days!"
"Your Highness, no!"
"Then did anyone bring him food and drink?"
"Your Highness, Lord Zhang ordered that no food should be sent, so no one has ever gone in!"
"Damn it!"
Yu Zhiqian can't wait to slap himself twice, his own brain!
"Open the door, and notify the back kitchen, boil some porridge and send some water!"
"Yes!"
The two guards opened the door, and as soon as they opened it, they saw one fall out of the house.
"There are assassins!"
The two guards shouted while protecting Yu Zhiqian behind him, but when he saw the fallen person clearly, Yu Zhiqian immediately pushed the two guards away.
It was Su Can, I saw Su Can lying on the ground, and after looking up and seeing Yu Zhiqian and a group of other people, he said intermittently and weakly: "Water, water, I want water!" ”
"Whew, if you're not dead, just don't die!"
Seeing that Su Can still had a breath, Yu Zhiqian's hanging heart was put down, he was worried that this guy would die of thirst before, it seems that human life is still relatively tenacious, not drinking water for three days is dying of thirst, it should be some condition, at least Su Can is still alive.
"Come on, find a doctor to take a good look, then feed a little food and drink, and send someone to wait, yes, don't let him die, do you hear?"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"This kid's life shouldn't be extinguished, if I think about it one day later, I guess I'll die of thirst!" Yu Zhiqian looked up at the sky, feeling that he was lucky today, and it should be suitable for opening.
"Your Highness, the crown princess said that she was looking for you!"
"I'm Cao, Zhang Xiaojing, Lu Bu, quickly follow the palace to the East City, and you tell the crown princess, the drifting bottle contact, see you on the blacklist!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Zhang Xiaojing and Lu Bu didn't understand why Yu Zhiqian was so excited when he heard the crown princess, and anyone would be so afraid of his wife? Although his heart was full of doubts, he didn't dare to ask, but there was no way, who made the family His Royal Highness the Prince.
East City, 10,000 guests come to the buffet!
Just now, in front of the door of Wankelai, it was already bustling and crowded, and some clever people were selling mint leaves and some gadgets loudly.
"Come and take a look, take a look, an appetizing elixir, one for you to eat five more bowls of rice, don't miss it when you pass by!"
"Mint leaves, mint leaves, good mint leaves, eat a piece to refresh your mind and make you eat faster!"
"Croton, croton, croton, morning glory, morning glory, empty your body so you eat more and last longer!"
When Yu Zhiqian came to the front of the store, he listened to this group of vendors, his face was a little unpleasant, this group of people actually got to the essentials of the buffet, this is ancient times, do you want to be so smart and witty!
Yesterday, Yu Zhiqian let the purchase collect three pigs, and bought a bunch of wild vegetables, the preparation is quite sufficient, Yu Zhiqian roughly calculated, today the restaurant has prepared at least enough things for more than 1,000 people to eat.
Yu Zhiqian estimated that he would definitely not be able to finish eating, after all, the restaurant could only accommodate 350 people at a time, and it was almost three times, that is, three hours.
According to Yu Zhiqian's expectations, he should be able to control the opening period without losing money, but if the opening is charged at the original price, he will definitely make money.
"Put this meat in the back, don't put so much meat, the ratio of meat to vegetables is about ten to one, you put so many people, all eat meat, who eats the vegetables!"
"Put a little more rice, put a little more rice, and also, in addition to making rice, you can also make egg fried rice, which is a pot of rice mixed with a few eggs mixed together and fried, and it is the same dish alone, you know?"
"That's right, that's it, these cheap wild fruits are beautifully arranged, and when there will be a queue, take them out and eat them with people in line, let them eat some to cushion their stomachs, and they can eat less when they enter the door!"
"You, what about you, put a kettle on each table, remember to be sure to add water to the guests at any time, drink more water, eat less!"
Yu Zhiqian doesn't have any image of a prince at all now, just like a profiteer, constantly commanding, racking his brains to think about some characteristics of the buffet in his previous life, but after all, Yu Zhiqian has never opened a buffet restaurant before, he has just eaten and learned a skin.
"Your Highness, it's almost noon!"
Shen Wansan reminded Yu Zhiqian in a low voice beside him.
Yu Zhiqian nodded: "Wansan let the guys prepare, wait for the meeting to collect the money, and then give chopsticks, one person and a pair of chopsticks, and don't let people give big bags, it won't make money, if you pack it, then you will lose it!" ”
"Yes!"
"There are also rules, stand at the door, let the family see clearly, don't let anyone make trouble, Zhang Xiaojing, you will sit at the door later, show me the field, Dongshi used to be your territory, your name Zhang Yan should be useful, whoever wants to make trouble today, directly give me a discount on my leg and throw it out!"
"Yes!"
Zhang Xiaojing accepted the task a little reluctantly, and now he finally understood why Yu Zhiqian had to take him with him, it turned out that he was used as a door god.
Sure enough, when Zhang Xiaojing came out of the room, dragged a bench, crossed Erlang's legs, and sat by the door, many people around recognized Zhang Xiaojing.
"King Zhang Yan!"
"What is King Zhang Yan!"
"It's that Zhang Xiaojing, he killed dozens of people before, not that he was sentenced to death, why is he here!"
"Isn't it! This can't be a black shop, right? ”
"I heard that the author of this book is called the big shopkeeper of the black shop, maybe it is really a black shop!"
"Off topic, off topic, we're here to eat, not to find fault, isn't this store still open!"
The surrounding crowd talked a lot, but Zhang Xiaojing's appearance did shock a lot of people, especially some floating prodigals, they generally wandered around the east and west markets, and when they saw a newly opened store, they would go over to extort a sum of money.
But this group of people had often been taught by Zhang Xiaojing before, and they were deeply impressed, and after seeing Zhang Xiaojing sitting so swaggeringly, they immediately dispersed.
"Humph!"
Zhang Xiaojing snorted coldly, reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and slowly began to knock up, as for why there are melon seeds, Yu Zhiqian doesn't know why, anyway, when he saw melon seeds for the first time in Datang, he was also very surprised, by the way, the melon seeds here are sunflower seeds, not pumpkin seeds.
"The auspicious time has arrived, and the opening is auspicious!"
"The auspicious time has arrived, and the opening is auspicious!"
"The auspicious time has arrived, and the opening is auspicious!"
