Chapter 361: Cao Ying and the others' small treasury

Zhao Yan didn't expect Ouyang Xiu to suddenly ask about the military academy, which made him stunned, and at the same time he was also alert in his heart, because the matter of the military academy was no longer a secret, but except for some low-level civilian officials who had a few words of impeachment, a civilian official of Ouyang Xiu's level did not express any opinion on it, and now he suddenly asked about the military academy, does this also mean something?

"Hehe, the military school is actually just a temporary play, and I didn't know who passed on the fact that I could help people lose weight, so those relatives and friends sent a lot of obese young people, and finally in desperation, they were temporarily placed together, and they were forced to lose weight every day with the method of military training, you must know that if you want to lose weight, controlling diet is still secondary, the most important thing is exercise, and later the people of the gate felt that their young people would have to enter the army sooner or later, and now it is also beneficial to be familiar with some affairs in the army as soon as possible, So a military school was established on the basis of weight loss. ⊙ the top novel," Zhao Yan said with a smile, and he was telling the truth.

"Oh, listening to the king of the county, the military academy is a good thing for my Great Song!" Ouyang Xiu said with a light smile, but at the same time looked Zhao Yan up and down with a suspicious gaze, it seemed that he didn't believe much in Zhao Yan's explanation.

Zhao Yan didn't want to talk too much to Ouyang Xiu about the military academy, so he immediately said goodbye: "Ouyang Xianggong, since Wanling is fine, then I will leave, in addition, Wanling's temperament is simple, and she likes to think crankily, some things should not involve her!" ”

After Zhao Yan finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to the stunned on Ouyang Xiu's face, and immediately bowed and left, no matter whether the words Ouyang Wanling heard were a coincidence or a trap, Ouyang Xiu had to bear a certain amount of responsibility for this matter, and fortunately, he saw Ouyang Wanling's reluctance in time. Otherwise, this misunderstanding will be a big problem.

After leaving Ouyang Xiu's mansion, Zhao Yan did not immediately go back to the other courtyard, but asked the coachman to walk around the streets of Tokyo City with him, he opened the car window, and then looked at the lively scene outside the car window.

Although it was the height of summer, it was already like a fire before noon. The sky and the earth are full of dazzling sunlight, and a random movement is a sweat, but the streets of Tokyo are still very lively, the shouts of the vendors come and go, and the pedestrians also stop from time to time to choose some favorite goods, and there are many convoys from other places mixed in the crowd, all of them are dusty, but they are still full of curiosity to look at Kaifeng, the most prosperous city in the world.

Looking at the crowd coming and going outside the car window, Zhao Yan felt relieved at the same time. There is always a sense of alienation, which has accompanied him since he first crossed, because he always thinks that he does not belong to this world, and it is this sense of alienation that makes him unwilling to go out, intentionally or unintentionally, and always lives in the smallest circle possible, but he has too many things that do not belong to this era, and slowly attracts the attention of countless people. This made his social circle expand a lot.

Think of the encounters I have experienced in the past two years, and then think about my life in my previous life. Zhao Yan suddenly found that he seemed to identify more and more with his current identity, he was Zhao Yan, the king of Guangyang County of the Great Song Dynasty, and the people outside the car window were his people, although he was not the emperor, but as a prince. There is also a responsibility and obligation to lead them to a better life.

Just as Zhao Yan was pondering, he suddenly heard a clear voice shouting from outside the window: "Take a look~, take a look~, the chili hero will start, as long as you can finish eating a bowl of chili dishes." You can enter our Wonder House and enjoy a delicious meal for free~"

Hearing the word "chili", Zhao Yan was also very surprised, turned his head to look out of the car window, and found that there were many people gathered in front of a newly opened restaurant, and there was a high platform in the middle of the crowd, and a young man on the high platform was shouting hard, and next to him was a stove, a big fat chef was stir-frying hard, and the big iron pot in front of him exuded a spicy and familiar fragrance, which was the taste of chili pepper.

Now is indeed the season when the chili peppers are ripe, but there are no other places to grow chili peppers in the entire Great Song Dynasty except for Shangshui Village, and ordinary people rarely adapt to the taste of chili peppers for the first time, but now this Qiwei Building actually uses chili peppers to cook, and also makes such a promotion activity with chili peppers, which really makes Zhao Yan feel very surprised.

"Lin Hu, you go and call the shopkeeper of the Qiwei Building, I really want to know where their chili peppers came from?" Zhao Yan immediately pointed to the Qiwei Building opposite and ordered.

Lin Hu heard Zhao Yan's command and immediately agreed, and strode into the Qiwei Building, but after a while, he saw him trotting out with his head down, and then Zhao Yan saw a girl walking out of the restaurant with a few maids quickly, and when Zhao Yan saw the woman, he couldn't help but be surprised again, because this girl who came out was Cao Ying's good helper Mi Xue.

I saw Mi Xue walking quickly with a few maids, because there were many people on the street, so she went directly into Zhao Yan's carriage, and when she saw Zhao Yan, she immediately smiled and saluted: "How can the king of the county have time to come here, do you also know that our restaurant is going to open, so come to see the excitement?" ”

"What, this restaurant is owned by our family?" Zhao Yan asked again in great surprise.

"Giggles, it seems to be a coincidence, the county king doesn't know that the Qiwei Building is our family, but he came here again, it seems that the county king is really related to our restaurant." Seeing Zhao Yan's confused look, Mi Xue couldn't help but laugh at the moment, she also knew that Zhao Yan entered the city today, but she didn't expect him to come to Qiwei Building.

"When is our family going to open a restaurant, why haven't I heard any news?" Zhao Yan asked strangely again, although he didn't take care of his family's affairs much, but generally when he encountered this kind of big business matter, Cao Ying would mention it to him, but this time he didn't seem to have heard Cao Ying say it.

"Giggles, the princess didn't tell the king of the county, that's because this restaurant is our family's industry, but not our family's industry, and it's different from the soap workshop's business, so the princess didn't tell the county king." Mi Xue explained as if she was saying a tongue twister, but it made Zhao Yan more and more confused the more she listened.

Seeing that Zhao Yan still didn't understand, Mi Xue couldn't help but giggle again, and only stopped after a while, and then began to explain in detail to Zhao Yan the origin of this strange building, which made Zhao Yan finally understand why this restaurant belonged to the county king's mansion, but it didn't belong to the county king's mansion.

The industry of Zhao Yan Junwangfu is actually similar to that of the large companies in later generations, Zhao Yan is equivalent to the chairman, and the entire company is also owned by him personally, but he does not directly manage the company's affairs, Cao Ying is equivalent to the general manager, and the whole company is completely under her control, and there are also managers at all levels such as Mi Xue, who jointly manage the huge industry of the Junwangfu.

There are many industries under the name of the county palace, including two major pieces of soap and honeycomb coal, and the manufacture of a glass mirror will be added in the future, in addition to Cao Ying's investment in the field and residence, etc., the scale is very huge, these belong to the industry of the palace, but the strange building that Zhao Yan saw today is different, because it is not an industry directly invested by the palace, but a restaurant bought by Cao Ying, Xue Ning'er, Yelusi, and even Mi Xue, Xiaodou Sprouts and others, and the income obtained in the future will not enter the finances of the palace. Instead, Cao Ying and the others distributed it to each person according to their shares.

"That's the thing, the chef in this strange taste building went to our palace chef to learn cooking skills for a period of time, and the signature dishes in the strange flavor building in the future are the ones that our palace usually eats, that is, those dishes invented by the county king, and there are also some special ingredients, such as peppers, tomatoes and pumpkins, which are not eaten outside, but the peppers are not easy to accept at first, so I thought of such a way, and when those who dare to try experience the benefits of peppers, they will naturally help the peppers become famous, when the time comes, I am not afraid that the dishes made of chili peppers will not be sold. Mi Xue finally concluded very proudly.

"Mi Xue, your little head is really smart, you actually thought of such a good promotion!" Zhao Yan also praised when he heard this, but then he still asked a little incomprehensibly, "Mi Xue, I remember that Niangzi and Ning'er have a monthly amount of money, and you maids are the same, in this case, why do you have to spend strength to open this restaurant, if the money is not enough to spend, you can withdraw it from the account of the palace?" ”

Hearing Zhao Yan ask, Mi Xue chuckled and said: "How confused is the princess, the princess does have a lot of money, and it is enough for their usual expenses, but maybe there will be some extra expenses at any time, such as the princess and the princess lost money playing cards, Xue Niangzi wants to help her former sisters redeem herself, Yelu Niangzi likes to buy jewelry, although these expenses can also be withdrawn from the palace, but after all, it is a little inconvenient, and spending more and less may cause gossip, it is better to have money in your own hands, so you can spend it with peace of mind." ”

Zhao Yan finally understood when he heard this, in fact, to put it bluntly, this restaurant is Cao Ying's small treasury, and after the money earned is distributed to everyone, it is their own business to spend more or less, and others will not say anything, and in this way, it can also make the accounts of the palace more clean, lest you spend a sum of money and I will make a mess of the accounts of the palace.

Looking at the lively Qiwei Building in front of him, Zhao Yan couldn't help but be a little interested, and immediately pulled Mi Xue into the restaurant to order a few dishes that are commonly eaten at home, wanting to taste whether the chefs here are authentic, and in the end, Zhao Yan was quite satisfied, at least every dish can make seven or eight points of heat.

In the afternoon, Zhao Yan returned to the other courtyard, and waited for him to sit down, but Yan Yuru suddenly came to the door, because school was about to start, and they should also discuss the enrollment matter. (To be continued......)
