Chapter 23 Restaurant
I have to say that Xishi is really the world's largest international market in this era!
After shopping around the West Market, Li Kuan silently calculated in his heart, and he saw at least thousands of shops that were open along the way!
Thousands!
This is the world before he traveled, which can be regarded as a supermarket, not to mention that it is still in an era of chaos.
The size of this market can be described as terrifying!
Moreover, in addition to the shops, Li Kuan also saw many "foreigners" on the street!
They either hold the specialties from their hometowns, or they set up stalls and shops on both sides of the street, waiting for customers to come to their door, or they look and choose their favorite goods.
Although most of them speak the Tang dialect more slippery than the Tang people, the faces of Central Asia and Southeast Asia are different from the faces of the Tang people, and Li Kuan can tell them at a glance!
"In this era, Datang and Chang'an can see this kind of scene, right?" Li Kuan sighed.
"Your Highness, it's been so long, why don't we find a place to rest first?" At this time, Zhao Shi proposed.
Although he is a nephew, Li Kuan is the king of Chu after all, and his status is extremely noble, Zhao Shi cannot say that he is called by his name directly, even if Li Kuan usually calls him uncle, but he usually calls Li Kuan can only be His Royal Highness!
This is humility!
"It's good!" Li Kuan nodded.
It's time to take a break!
They had been walking for almost an hour, and although he was not tired, the forehead of the little nurse who had been holding him all the way was already covered with sweat!
Well, thanks to the past two years, the little nurse was treated well in the Qin Wangfu and the Chu Wangfu, she was well fed, and her body gradually became full from thin and weak.
Otherwise, with the physique of the little nurse in the past, maybe she won't be able to hold on!
However, speaking of which, there is something that Li Kuan never thought of at the beginning!
The little milk lady, a thin and short woman, after her body is enriched, can be transformed into a legal Lori with a childish face, a real milk girl!
"Your Highness, please come here!"
Zhao Shi found a restaurant and walked in with a group of people!
"Shopkeeper, you're here?"
As soon as I entered the door, an old man who was neatly dressed and smiling, who seemed to be in charge of the store, greeted me!
And listening to the old man's greetings, Li Kuan suddenly understood that this was the restaurant of his cheap uncle's house!
"Set me a table, the best, come up with any good stuff in the store!"
After Zhao Shi gave a serious order to the old man, he pointed to the guards who came with Li Kuan and his party, and said, "In addition, arrange a table for this group of brothers, and serve all the good wine and food!" ”
Hearing this, the guards who followed Li Kuan and the others couldn't help but show a smile on their faces!
Although as the guards of the palace, they can eat enough every day, and from time to time they can get some meat, and there are also a lot of money compared to the people at the bottom of this era, but wine and meat and the like, there are few opportunities to eat.
"Okay!"
The old man listened to Zhao Shi's serious words, and subconsciously glanced at Li Kuan and his party next to Zhao Shi, and suddenly he knew it in his heart!
What are Zhao Shi doing, some of them have heard some rumors!
Thinking of this, and looking at the appearance of Li Kuan and his party, the old man basically understood who Li Kuan was!
Soon!
Under the arrangement of the old man, a table of delicacies was served on the table... Well, just a delicacy in the eyes of people of this era!
From Li Kuan's point of view, this table was either roasted or boiled, and it looked worse than the nutritious meals he usually ate, and it didn't give him any appetite at all!
However, out of respect for Zhao Shi's uncle, and out of curiosity, Li Kuan still picked up the chopsticks and tasted them!
As a result...
He suddenly missed his nutritious meal!
Nutritious meals are better than this!
All the dishes have a bitter taste in them, and there is no oil and water, and several of them are made of mutton, not only have a bitter taste, but also the nourishing taste of mutton has not been removed at all!
It's hellish cuisine!
"This was going to be put in the past, I had to spray the chef to death!" Li Kuan thought secretly in his heart and put down the chopsticks in his hand!
Even the worst chef wouldn't have been able to do this before he crossed over!
"What, Your Highness? Not with the appetite? Seeing this, Zhao Shi hurriedly asked.
Li Kuan shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry!" ”
"Oh!"
Zhao Shi breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
At this time, Li Kuan also turned his head to observe this store!
This shop is not small, with dozens of tables, and he estimated in his heart that it was at least four hundred square meters!
But except for the area, the others are extremely poor in the eyes of Li Kuan, a gourmet!
The layout of the store, hygiene, decoration, Xiao Er's service, the appearance of the dishes on the plate, etc., are all out of his eyes!
Moreover, not only does it not enter his eyes, but it also does not seem to enter the eyes of the people of this era!
Although the store is large, there are not many people in the store, except for Li Kuan and others, there are only two or three tables with people seated.
"Uncle, you don't seem to have any guests here!" Li Kuan asked seemingly unintentionally!
"yes!"
After a trace of sorrow flashed in Zhao Shi's eyes, perhaps he felt that Li Kuan was too young to understand or explain anything, so he admitted it directly!
And looking at this scene, Li Kuan has a bottom in his heart!
At the same time, he already has an idea of how to subdue this uncle!
"Let's start with this shop!"
---
It's night!
After Li Kuan finished eating the nutritious meal, he asked the little nurse and the maids to go down, and called his cheap uncle!
"Your Highness, what are you looking for me?" Zhao Shi said respectfully.
"Uncle, I don't seem to be doing well in your restaurant during the day?" Li Kuanzheng said.
"yes!" Zhao Shi nodded a little puzzled.
Didn't you ask this sentence during the day?
And I've seen it with my own eyes!
And just when he was puzzled, Li Kuan said in a milky voice, "Uncle, I'll give you a plan, you can operate according to the plan, you will definitely make money!" ”
While speaking, Li Kuan also showed a little expression that a normal child would have blind confidence!
"This..."Zhao Shi showed a hesitant expression on his face!
He wasn't thinking about whether Li Kuan's words were true, but thinking about how to tactfully make Li Kuan give up this idea!
Why?
There is no other reason!
Li Kuan is too small!
He didn't believe what the two-year-old child said, he just thought it was Li Kuan's naïve idea!
But if you don't believe it, Li Kuan is the king of Chu after all, and his status is extremely noble, so he can't just say no, right?
And just when Zhao Shi hesitated, Li Kuan's small eyes rolled, and he pretended to be innocent again, and said, "Uncle, anyway, your store doesn't have any business, why don't you try it according to my plan!" ”
As soon as Li Kuan's words came out, Zhao Shi's face showed a sudden look!
That's right!
There's no business in the store anyway!
Why don't you just let your nephew have fun!
"Okay!" Zhao Shi finally nodded.
He didn't really think that Li Kuan's plan was good, but he felt that a store with no business was given to Li Kuan, and it didn't matter if it was changed according to his plan, it was just for his nephew to play and please this nephew!
And Li Kuan listened to his response, a trace of joy flashed in the depths of his eyes, and there was no surprise!
He did it on purpose!
Deliberately from start to finish!
He thought very clearly before he called Zhao Shi!
Now as a child, no matter what he says, adults will take it as a child's naïve idea and laugh it off!
No matter how wise he usually behaves, it's the same!
Because it's not about his usual behavior, it's all about his age!
Like what he just said!
Think about it, if a two-year-old tells you that you will make money if you follow his plan, how would you feel if it were you?
I guess I just laughed, and I won't take it seriously!
That's why he deliberately made this look, so that Zhao Shi thought that he was because of the child's naïve thoughts!
After that, he threw out the fact that there was no business in the store anyway, which made Zhao Shi feel that there was no business anyway, and it didn't matter if he played with Li Kuan's nephew!
In this way, Li Kuan can run his cheap uncle's restaurant according to his own ideas!
And after arriving, the restaurant business has undergone a huge change under Li Kuan's plan, and after the business has become hot, then the first step to subdue this uncle will be completed!
At that time, his cheap uncle's opinion of him will definitely change completely, and he will no longer treat him as a simple child!
Then, as long as Li Kuan guides and guides, when the business of the restaurant gets bigger and bigger, his cheap uncle will trust him more and more, listen to him, and finally surrender to him!
Of course, that's all for later!
And the core of this plan... It's still Li Kuan, the identity of the king of Chu!
If he wasn't the King of Chu, Zhao Shi would have the idea of taking a store for his two-year-old nephew to play with unless his brain was pumped.
No matter how bad the business of this store is!
But Li Kuan is the king of Chu, which is another matter!
Play for the King of Chu, whether it is a loss or not, it is not a loss for him!
At the very least, he curry favor with the King of Chu!
Zhao Shi also thinks thoroughly about these!
"Uncle, let me tell you! Here's my plan..."
Li Kuan began to explain his plan to Zhao Shi!
