Chapter 171: Striking the West
Li Youran was lying on the bed, only feeling that his whole body was not his own, his waist was sore, his arms were sore, and his whole person was in the shape of a large character, lying on the bed, his mind was empty, and he looked very tired.
Nearly a thousand miles away, all the way was fast, and Li Youran's thigh was grinding and leaking blood. Not only that, but the whole ass is bumped as if it doesn't look like its own.
Li Youran thought to himself, if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would not wait to knock down Huqinqin's shop, but he was afraid that he would fall.
"Xiaohong, let the carriage go to the Li Mansion and pick up the second sister-in-law."
As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible. Although Li Youran has been busy in Mixue Bingcheng for a long time, he still has to ask Zhao Lanzhi about the specific situation here.
"County Lord, Gongzi Liu asks to see you."
Li Youran forcibly supported himself to get up, and wanted to get up to see Liu Zhiyuan, but he was really angry. felt that the relationship between the two was very good, so he simply didn't care about those rules, and waved his hand at Xiaohong.
"Let him in."
Xiaohong followed Li Youran for a long time, and didn't feel anything wrong, so she turned around and ordered the people waiting outside the door to lead Liu Zhiyuan over.
Liu Zhiyuan, who was originally waiting in the main hall, knew that it was late at night, and Li Youran was very likely to rest, so he didn't have much hope for it.
But when he saw that someone said that Li Youran saw him in the boudoir, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and he was inexplicably happy. He said in his heart that the reason why Li Youran did this was that he did not treat him as an outsider.
"Leisurely, is everything going well this time?"
Liu Zhiyuan had already seen Tang Lei in the East Palace, so he naturally knew that this time the progress was quite smooth, but seeing Li Youran lying on the bed so tired, the whole person seemed to be tired and boneless, and he couldn't help but worry again.
"Everything is fine."
Li Youran leaned on the soft couch, looked at Liu Zhiyuan, and asked.
"These days, are you okay in the capital?"
It's just an ordinary greeting, but in Liu Zhiyuan's ears is Li Youran's concern for him, which makes Liu Zhiyuan, who was originally excited in his heart, can't help but tremble again.
"As always."
After Liu Zhiyuan finished speaking, he looked self-reproachful, and said to Li Youran with shame.
"The hot pot restaurant was calculating, and there were some accidents, so I had to close it."
Li Youran already knew about the hot pot restaurant, so he wasn't too surprised.
"Shopping malls are like battlefields, it's normal for things like this to happen, and you don't have to blame yourself."
Li Youran knew that Liu Zhiyuan was not familiar with these things, and the reason why he participated in the hot pot restaurant was nothing more than to share some of it for her, so Liu Zhiyuan could not be blamed for this matter.
On the contrary, Li Youran was very grateful in his heart, Liu Zhiyuan regarded the matter of the hot pot restaurant as so important.
"By the way, leisurely, a few days ago, Tian Alang's wedding was the main wedding of His Royal Highness the Prince."
Hearing Liu Zhiyuan's words, Li Youran was stunned, although he had already thought that Tian Alang would get married in this time, but he didn't expect it to be so hasty.
"Isn't the Protector Mansion better with the three princes, why did you suddenly have a change of hexagram, but there was a change?"
Li Youran saw that it was the marriage of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he knew that this matter was not a simple Tian Yang's wedding, but also the marriage of the prince and the Kung Fu of protecting the country.
"It's strange to say, it's not like what's going on, the Protector Mansion seems to have suddenly figured it out, not only Lord Wu, but also several princes below have changed their temperament, and they have completely gotten rid of His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
Liu Zhiyuan saw Li Youran talking about the affairs of the DPRK and China, and couldn't help but become serious, and talked to Li Youran about what happened in the capital during this time.
"The Great General of the Protector is so abnormal, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must know about it. In this case, he still hosted the marriage of Tian Alang and Miss Wu Jiayan, and he should want to do what he wants. ”
Liu Zhiyuan couldn't help but nod when he heard Li Youran's words. It is said that the sacred heart is unpredictable, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think, Liu Zhiyuan is not easy to ask, but he also wonders why the prince does this.
Hearing Li Youran's words today, he couldn't help but understand, it turned out that the prince's palace wanted to plan everything. It's no wonder that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been a little different from usual during this time.
Li Youran didn't know that when she was chatting with Liu Zhiyuan, Tang Lei was outside.
After Tang Lei settled the Ajiu family, he thought about it, but he was still relieved that Li Youran was not at ease, so he volunteered to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to live in the mansion in order to protect Li Youran.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince naturally agreed to this matter, so Tang Lei returned to the mansion after finishing all the things.
He wanted to take a sneak look at Li Youran, but he didn't expect that Li Youran and Liu Zhiyuan would be effective in the boudoir together, which made Tang Lei's heart seem to be covered with a thin layer of ice, he turned around and disappeared into the night.
"Second sister-in-law, you are really too capable, I didn't expect to be able to open the Honey Snow Ice City all over the city in such a short period of time, and the situation is tight and the lemon ice water is tight."
After sending Liu Zhiyuan away, Zhao Lanzhi followed. Although Li Youran was tired, after seeing Zhao Lanzhi, he couldn't help but be full of energy, after all, Zhao Lanzhi did too beautiful this time.
"Sister, don't praise me, I also came up in one breath at that time, so I made such an idea. Now that I have come back to my senses, I am really afraid, if I am not careful, I will suffer a heavy loss, but I don't know how to face the princess. ”
Zhao Lanzhi was embarrassed by Li Youran's praise, and as she spoke, she attributed all the credit to the crown princess.
She thought that if it weren't for the Crown Princess's financial help and revealing so much useful information, she would not have been able to spell Michelle so successfully.
"Leisurely, I also came up in one breath at the time, and set the price at five cents, but now I have come back to my senses and regret it a little. If it is only five cents lower than the price of lemon ice water, and if it is sold for ten cents a cup, we can make more money. Now I have lost more than half of my profits in one go, but I really regret it. ”
Zhao Lanzhi sighed and said.
"Sister-in-law, I don't think there's anything inappropriate about you doing this, I invited you here today to discuss this matter with you."
Li Youran doesn't think so, she thinks that Zhao Lanzhi was a very wise choice to push the price to five cents a cup.
As she spoke, she talked to Zhao Lanzhi about his plan.
In Li Youran's cognition, drinks are inexpensive, and you can buy a cup at will, and the price of a cup of five cents is very appropriate.
If all the drinks are more than a dozen mosquitoes and dozens of dollars at every turn, this price is too expensive, and ordinary people can't afford to consume it at will.
However, not all drinks are low-end routes, just like mineral water, there is a bottle of mineral water for a dollar, and there are also a bottle of mineral water for more than a dozen yuan, as the so-called high and low end are all available, to meet the needs of different groups of people.
Li Youran plans to add a drink of two cents a cup to the store, and at the same time, he will also launch high-end drinks of twelve cents and twenty cents a cup.
"Leisurely, your idea is really good, but there is no profit to be made from a drink for two pennies a cup, and if you want to make money, you still have to reduce costs. And if you want to buy a drink for 20 yuan, you have to be worth the money. ”
Regarding Li Youran's proposal, Zhao Ranzhi naturally raised his hands in favor, but it is difficult to implement this plan.
After all, if a drink is sold for five cents a cup, there is not much profit to be made, let alone a drink for two cents.
And all the drinks are so cheap, if you can't meet the needs of customers, you will definitely think that it is not worth it.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will naturally take care of this matter, and then you can take a look."
Li Youran already had a plan in her heart, and she had already planned what to do, so she said to Zhao Lanzhi very mysteriously.
The next morning, just after dawn, Li Youran asked the housekeeper to purchase a large amount of bubble and aged vinegar, as well as fresh milk and goat's milk.
Immediately afterwards, Li Youran got into the carriage and rushed towards the East Palace in a panic, in the end, it had been more than half a month, and he had not seen the crown princess, Li Youran was very worried in his heart.
"Sister, I didn't expect that in just half a month, your belly will get bigger."
As Li Youran spoke, he couldn't help but gently stroke the crown princess's belly, and couldn't help but sigh that life is really awe-inspiring.
"After a while, the belly will get bigger. In a while, you'll be going to be an aunt. ”
As she spoke, the crown princess pulled Li Youran over and walked towards the soft couch, where the two sisters sat together.
"I heard the prince say that you and Tang Lei have made a great contribution this time, not only found the evidence, but also brought the witnesses together."
As she spoke, the crown princess took Li Youran's hand and said to Li Youran with a cautious face.
"If you can take down His Royal Highness the Third Prince in one fell swoop this time, everyone will be happy. If you walk, you will be bitten by him, and I don't know how much you will lose. Therefore, you must protect yourself during this time, so as not to give His Royal Highness the Third Prince a chance. ”
"Sister, please rest assured, I will definitely strengthen my precautions for these things."
Li Youran naturally knew that these few days were a critical period for the overthrow of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and everything was better to be cautious.
"By the way, leisurely, I called you here because I have something to tell you."
As the crown princess spoke, she analyzed the current situation with Li Youran.
Ever since he knew that Ah Jiu had been found, His Royal Highness the Third Prince had been like a frightened bird, cautious everywhere.
After some discussion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess planned to start with the Huqinqin and set a sound for the three princes.
"What my sister means is that during this period of time, I concentrated all my forces to deal with the drink shop opened by Hu Qinqin, so that His Royal Highness the Third Prince mistakenly thought that we were fighting to the death with the Fourth Prince, and there was no time to take care of his affairs."
After the crown princess heard Li Youran's words, she nodded, only to see Li Youran say with a smile.
"Sister, please rest assured, just educate me about this matter."
Li Youran was about to have a big fight with Hu Qinqin, but he didn't expect to be able to help the prince break the siege, which is really a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
Before, Li Youran was still capable of making small troubles, but now that the crown princess has spoken, she wants to use the fight with Hu Qinqin to attract the attention of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, Li Youran upgraded his equipment and is ready to do a big job.
Nowadays, Li Youran is the only one living in the house, so he simply started making drinks directly in the house, and what Li Youran wants to do today is carbonated drinks and milk tea.
Carbonated drinks are inexpensive and refreshing, making them very addictive. Li Youran plans to sell it for two cents a cup.
Milk tea uses milk and expensive tea, and ingredients such as pearls and taro balls are added, so Li Youran plans to sell a cup for 12 yuan and 20 yuan respectively.
When Li Youran returned home, the housekeeper had already purchased all the ingredients that Li Youran needed.
Li Youran is a man of action, and he does what he says, so he immediately instructed the chefs in the kitchen to follow and start making carbonated drinks and milk tea.
More than a dozen cooks and miscellaneous servants, under Li Youran's instructions, some were responsible for boiling water, some were responsible for cutting lemon slices, and some were making taro balls and other ingredients according to Li Youran's instructions.
After all the materials were ready, Li Youran began to prepare for production.
After all the boiling hot water had cooled, Li Youran added a large amount of soda and lemon juice, aged vinegar, and sugar to the water, and then stirred it vigorously.
I saw Li Youran take out a scoop of gas and water from the vat, and then put in a large amount of ice cubes, and when the ice cubes melted slightly, Li Youran took a sip.
"That's what it tastes like!"
Li Youran first took a sip, and then drank it in a big gulp, it was really a familiar taste, a long-lost taste, it tasted cool and heart-warming, and the soda made this time was 100% restored to the taste of soda.
After the soda was finished, Li Youran began to make milk tea.
She first made half a cup of pure milk, then poured in half a cup of green tea that had already been brewed, then took a few pearls and taro balls in a small spoon, and sprinkled in a large amount of sugar.
"Blue is better than blue."
Li Youran first took a sip of milk tea, and then took a spoonful of pearl taro balls inside, only to feel that this cup of milk tea was much better than the milk tea he had drunk before.
After all, everything used is pure natural and pollution-free, which can be described as real materials.
Early this morning, the price of lemon ice water was reduced again, which made the business of lemon ice water boom again, and the Honey Snow Ice City on the side suddenly became deserted.
But before the morning passed, Mixue Bingcheng launched a drink of two cents a cup, as well as milk tea.
For a while, the lemonade ice water, which was originally in a hot business, suddenly became deserted, and there was a long queue in Honey Snow Ice City.
"What kind of fairy drink is this, this taste is too refreshing!"
"It's fragrant, sweet and full, this milk tea is so delicious."
For a time, Li Youran's newly developed soda and milk tea were very popular.
