When Li Shimin heard that he could get dividends, he immediately suddenly became generous and said: "I am not the kind of person who refuses to pay the bill, you can directly deduct it from my dividends." Although I am also one of the owners, I can't do such a thing. Therefore, it will be deducted from my dividends, so that I will pay the bill. ”

Jingwen heard Li Shimin say this, what else can he say, since everyone is willing to deduct from the dividends, of course he has to accept it. If you don't accept it, you look down on the emperor. Therefore, Jingwen can only think about deducting from Li Shimin's dividends, so that he can give Li Shimin less dividends.

However, Li Shimin looked at the leftovers again, and suddenly looked at Jingwen.

"Jingwen!" Li Shimin asked suddenly.

"The minister is here!" Jingwen replied immediately.

Li Shimin thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Jingwen, do you know why I was reluctant to pay the bill just now?" ”

"I don't know!" Jingwen replied.

Li Shimin said: "Jingwen, Jingwen, you are really powerful, a dish actually costs me twenty yuan." This price is really expensive, and it makes me tremble! Although this dish is very good, much better than the ones in the palace, it is not worth so much money, right? ”

"Your Majesty, this is a price given by everyone, not by ourselves. This is the average price given by each customer, and this is what we set the price. Jingwen replied.

But Li Shimin said: "But no matter how I look at it, it's not worth it!" Zhang Fengyu, how much do you think these things should be worth? ”

At this time, the middle-aged man next to Li Shimin spoke: "Your Majesty, according to the dishes you ordered, grilled steak with honey, as well as this salt-baked chicken wings, and a bowl of mutton steamed buns." ”

"Although I don't know exactly how much the steak costs, the beef is about the same as a pound, and the steak probably won't exceed much, because he still has bones in it. These steaks are about three taels, that is, about three hundred dollars. As for this salt-baked chicken wing, chicken is now common in farmers, so it shouldn't be too expensive, and it won't exceed the usual price. As for this mutton steamed bun, this steamed bun should be made of flour, and the price is not high. As for the mutton, it can be completely ignored, just a few slices. So, taken together, the cost of these dishes is less than the usual money, but according to the price on the menu, it will cost at least thirty consistent dollars. ”

This Zhang Fengyu seems to understand very well, that is, the cost of these dishes, so this price seems very unreasonable. If Jingwen thinks about it seriously, he will inevitably think that this dish is unreasonable. Just like the ** silk of Jingwen in later generations, the price of dishes in those big restaurants is very unreasonable.

Those five-star hotels in later generations, in fact, are those materials, but the price is countless times higher than the price of many food stalls and small restaurants, which makes countless ** resentment very deep! If Jingwen is in the future life, he will also have this grudge. But now that I am the owner of a restaurant, of course I have to set a high price.

But what Jingwen didn't expect was that Li Shimin also had this kind of silk problem, and actually measured the value of a dish by the materials of the dish. This makes Jingwen unable to explain, because he can't say that he is a monopoly business, of course he has to kill people?

"Your Majesty, if you think it's expensive, I can give you a discount!" Jingwen said immediately.

But Li Shimin shook his head and said, "It's not good! Since your dish is priced like this, it naturally makes sense for you. But you have to say it, or I won't be convinced. If you give me a discount for me, it's because my power is influencing you, so you're forced to give me a discount. I'm not the kind of person who abuses power, so as long as you make sense, I can pay for the price of your menu. But if what you're saying doesn't make sense, then I won't be able to pay you for the price of your menu. ”

Jingwen complained in his heart: "You are killing a dog and then bargaining!" ”

Li Shimin has eaten all these dishes, but now he will talk about these dishes are expensive. If you are an ordinary person and see that the dishes are too expensive, you can not eat them! But Li Shimin actually ate it first, and then said that the price was too expensive. However, if Li Shimin was an ordinary person, Jingwen could have forced him to pay, or send him to the yamen. But Li Shimin is the emperor, Jingwen can't use coercive means, let alone send him to the government! Therefore, Jingwen is a little bit of a wax.

"Your Majesty, can you ask the minister to tell you a story? If the emperor listens to this story and thinks that the price of the minister's dishes is unreasonable, then the minister has nothing to say. Jingwen said.

"Say it!" Li Shimin said.

Jingwen thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I heard a story when I was a child, that is, there was a talented man who was rich in ancient times, and he specialized in picking out the faults of articles for others, but he had to charge a high amount of money afterwards. ”

"Someone once asked him to read an article, and after reading it for a long time, the genius just drew a few arrows and asked people to adjust the order of the paragraphs in the article, and the whole article took on a new look."

Afterwards, he asked the man who took the article for a hundred yuan. The person who gave him the article also thought it was a little unreasonable, because he just helped himself draw a few arrows on the article, why did he charge so much? Your Majesty, do you know how that genius answered? ”

Li Shimin is also thinking about it seriously, as if this problem is similar to the current situation. Li Shimin is like the person who gives the article to the talent, and Jingwen is like this is the talent.

In fact, the story of Jingwen is adapted from the story of a mechanic in later generations, and it is not enough that the story takes place in the West, and now Jingwen uses it to describe it has been changed to Eastern characteristics.

"Your Majesty, that genius wrote a sentence behind that article. That's 'Draw a few arrows here, it's worth the same money.' But if you know where to draw it, it's worth ninety-nine dollars. ’”

Li Shimin also nodded secretly, he understood what Jingwen meant, and said: "What you mean is that the materials of these dishes may not be valuable, but they can make the dishes delicious and delicious, and that is the most valuable place." ”

"The emperor is wise!" Jingwen immediately slapped a sycophant.

Li Shimin angrily pouted at the Zhang Fengyu next to him, and the Zhang Fengyu immediately took out the emperor's personal seal, indicating that the money was offset here. At that time, whether Jingwen will go to the inner treasury in the palace to ask for money, or directly deduct it from the dividends, it depends on Jingwen's own meaning.
