Lao Jia came soon.

Every morning, after the construction site has dinner, Lao Jia has a period of time that can be arranged freely.

Today he was going to swim for a while in the scenic lake, which had already begun to be flooded.

I heard my son Xiao Jia come over and say that the grandson was looking for him.

Lao Jia immediately put down the prepared clothes, wiped his hands, and signaled Xiao Jia not to delay time.

Less.

Lao Jia, father and son, had already arrived at the table at the door.

Lao Jia looked at Zhu Yunxi, who was sitting at the table, with a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of excitement: "Your Highness, the villain is here." ”

"Lao Jia, you sit."

Zhu Yunxi pointed casually and continued to drink the tea that was not expensive on the construction site.

But where did Lao Jia dare to sit with the emperor's grandson.

Lao Jia shook his head again and again: "The villain is cheap, just stand...... Just stand and ......."

Zhu Shangbing, who was not allowed to finish speaking, was eating glutinous rice cakes that could only be regarded as desserts after dinner for him, and he had already reached out and pulled Lao Jia and pressed him on the stool on the side.

"Let you sit, you sit, it's not something you can do with these vain heads."

Lao Jia's face was full of sincere fear, and he moved carefully, only half of his buttocks fell on the stool, his head lowered and his hands were tightly clasped together.

is different from Lao Jia, probably because he can serve Zhu Yunxi for breakfast every day, Xiao Jia seems much more natural.

Xiao Jia said with a smile on the side: "Dad, you just listen to the grandson and the son, since the grandson called you over, there must be something to tell you." ”

"Uh-huh, uh-huh." Lao Jia was like garlic, and his eyes looked at Zhu Yunxi carefully: "The villain is here, if His Highness has anything to command, the villain will go all out." ”

Zhu Yunxi put down the tea bowl and said softly: "I heard Xiao Jia say, you want to wait for the completion of the Xicheng project and save money to rent a shop here to continue to make a living?" ”

Lao Jia's eyes turned, and he replied in a low voice: "If you go back to Your Highness, the villain originally lived in Xicheng, and he made some food and set up stalls on weekdays, although he didn't make much money, but the villain's family lived on this."

So...... I thought that when His Royal Highness got this Xicheng done, it would definitely be more prosperous, and there would be more guests at that time......

However, if His Highness thinks that the villain can't put these things on the table, the villain will take the family to find another place at that time, and he will never dare to delay His Highness's big event. ”

"Who told you to find another place?" Zhu Yunxi looked at the strange old Jia and asked rhetorically.

Then he reacted.

Zhu Yunxi laughed several times in succession and shook his head.

"But I made you think too much."

Lao Jia shook his head again and again: "The villain doesn't dare." ”

Zhu Yunxi said with a smile: "It's not that you want to go somewhere else to do things and make money, I mean that your craftsmanship is good, and your craftsmanship will be indispensable in this Xicheng Food City in the future." ”

"Huh?"

Lao Jia raised his head, with some surprise on his face.

The things I make are all things that are eaten by the people of the township, and I can get such a high evaluation from the grandson.

For a while, Lao Jia became more and more honestly afraid.

Zhu Gaochi looked at Lao Jia with a smile, and pointed to the little food left on the table: "If your craftsmanship is bad, then you can't find a better one in Nanjing City." ”

At this time, Lao Jia had only a simple smile left.

Zhu Yunxi glanced at the other party and continued: "Originally, in my imagination, this Xicheng Food City was a matter of urgency. At that time, I thought that this place would be a place for food in the future. 、

Even the place where the other four food sheds on our construction site are located has been made into a special place for eating. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi had already drawn in the entire range of the shack, and the area where the boss outside had laid the foundation and made a plan.

Anyway, Xicheng is big enough to be able to take on the business of five food cities at the same time.

You don't see the future generations, and there are many food streets in the same part of Xicheng.

Lao Jia's father and son now only nodded with a smile on their faces.

In my heart, I sighed with emotion.

This Xicheng Food City is really big.

The shack they are in now can accommodate more than 3,000 people to eat at the same time.

If this is completed by the Xicheng project, this piece will be made into a food city.

Even if you remove the area of those shops, how can you accommodate more than 10,000 people eating at the same time?

Now the four food sheds on the periphery of the construction site will also be made into a food city.

Even if those four places are much smaller than here, they can accommodate 20,000 or 30,000 people at the same time.

Oh, my God.

Lao Jia muttered in his heart.

He really didn't dare to think that there were twenty or thirty thousand people eating together at the same time, what a magnificent scene it should be.

Xiao Jia's thinking is indeed much more active than Lao Jia.

He whispered in his mouth: "Then if you open a shop, how much money do you have to make......

I can't make enough money!

Zhu Yunxi smiled: "Lao Jia, if you believe in Gu, go to Steward Sun of the Silver Number now." Let's just say that I said it, and I'll leave the operation of our food city to you when we go back.

Regardless of whether you still cook food yourself or not, you are responsible for what you eat in this food city.

There is no need to save money, let Steward Sun give you the silver from the silver number, and you can take as much as you need.

The rent of the shop and the things to be purchased in it will be handed over to you. ”

"Ah......h

Now, Lao Jia is really blind.

Originally, I just wanted to save some money, wait for the Xicheng project to be completed, rent a shop in this food city, and continue to do what I can do, so that I can continue to make money for my family to support my family.

Wait a little longer, and you can't do it yourself, so let your son Xiaojia inherit the family business and continue to do these things.

How did Lao Jia know that when it came to the mouth of the grandson, he was going to do the whole food city.

Lao Jia had a hesitation on his face, and said with some cries of panic: "Your Highness...... Villain...... The villain won't......"

Zhu Yunxi glared: "What's not going to happen here?" You can charge as much rent as you want. You can also sell what you want to buy to those who come to rent a shop to eat.

Left and right is just that you have to spend a little bit, and we should look for more people who can cook different foods in Tianfu. If Ying Tianfu is not enough, then you can also find it on Zhili Road.

As long as the food made in this food city is delicious, there will be no shortage of customers in the future, and your Jia family will naturally have a good life. ”

"Really...... Is it really that simple? Lao Jia still had some doubts in his eyes, and muttered quietly.

At this time, Zhu Shangbing, who had already finished eating the 'dessert', patted Lao Jia on the shoulder without wiping his hands, and hummed: "If you are an official, it will matter if you don't believe it in your hometown." He is the imperial grandson of our Ming Dynasty, what Brother Xi said, can you still believe it? Even if you don't, you can just go back and look for him. ”

Lao Jia also reacted at this time.

This is what the imperial grandson asked him to do, even if he can't, then someone will come to teach him.

Even if you can't do it, you don't seem to lose anything.

Lao Jia hesitated for the last moment, and whispered: "Can the villain really be?" ”

Zhu Yunxi slapped his palm on the table: "Lone believes that you can." ”

Looking at Lao Jia's tall body accompanied by Xiao Jia, Zhu Yunxi had a smile on his face.

Zhu Gaochi was drinking tea on the side, and said without saltiness: "Are you sure that Lao Jia's father and son can do a good job in the food city?" I thought you were going to get someone from the palace to do this. ”

Zhu Yunxi squinted at Zhu Gaochi: "Why do you think that Lao Jia and their father and son can't do this well?" And no one stipulates that whoever is born to be good at this thing. You can't do everything until you do it.

Now this food shack eats tens of thousands of people every day. Lao Jia's family can do very well, when they first came over, they understood what they had to face, and spontaneously selected a lot of people from the original demolition in Xicheng to help with things.

I also heard that there were many people who didn't deal with Lao Jia's family at the beginning, and now they are also working here. This shows that Lao Jia is a person with a pattern. ”

Today, the five dining spots on the construction site are all contracted.

According to the number of people who eat every day, give money to Lao Jia and them.

This is also the reason why Lao Jia dares to say that he can save money by himself to rent a shop and continue to make a living after the completion of the Xicheng project.

Otherwise, relying on the money he made from setting up a stall in a random alley in Xicheng, where would he be able to rent a shop.

Zhu Gaochi pursed his lips and shook his head.

In fact, not everyone is optimistic about the Xicheng project in the DPRK and China.

After all, the most lively place in Yingtian City is on both sides of the Qinhuai River.

Most of the famous shops and restaurants in Yingtian City are also opened on both sides of the Qinhuai River.

And the South and Midtown are also the most populous places.

Xicheng has been a remote place since the founding of the country.

Even if it is built, it is difficult to guarantee how many passengers will flow.

However, after Zhu Yunxi was seized of the power of the prison state, those officials who were not optimistic only regarded this as a little compensation for Zhu Yunxi within the royal family.

At least let him have something to do.

As for the money invested by Daming Silver and the household, whether it can be repaid in the end.

Anyway, over the years, the imperial grandson has earned an unknown amount of silver for the imperial court.

Even if it all goes down the drain this time, at most it will only be money for the imperial grandson.

In order to make it better to have more things in the court than one thing less, even if the officials are not optimistic, they choose to keep their mouths shut obediently at this time and never get involved in the Xicheng construction project.

Zhu Gaochi saw that Zhu Shangbing finally began to wipe his mouth.

He stood up.

"We'll go back first, and we'll come back again at the end of the month. I heard that the viewing lake will be filled with water at that time, and at that time, we will fish in winter and make tea around the stove. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Gaochi glanced at Zhu Shangbing, patted his buttocks, got up and walked out of the door.

Zhu Yunxi is still a beautiful and wandering appearance.

He now has to stay on the Xicheng project every day until dark before he will go to Taisun Mansion.

I moved back to the Taisun Mansion from the palace, but the crown princess, the side concubine and the children still stayed in the palace.

He is in Taisun Mansion and can be said to be alone.

It's the same if you come back early or late, so it's better to stay on the construction site more.

At least he was free enough here, and ordinary people would not be able to find this place to meet him.

In fact, Zhu Yunxi stayed on the Xicheng construction site during the day, and it didn't make any difference.

Even the work of moving bricks does not need him to do it.

Even if he did, the workers would not thank him.

On the contrary, they will think that if he moves a few more bricks, they will be paid a lot less.

Every day, I also visited the various sites on the project.

But he wandered around like this, and everyone felt at ease.

Time passed slowly.

Until the end of the month.

This year's snow is exceptionally heavy.

So much so that the ground was leveled on the construction site, the roads were paved, the foundations were laid, and the preliminary work of the landscape everywhere was completed, and the work was completely stopped.

Most of the workers, after settling their wages, returned home happy.

However, in the end, nearly 1,000 people were left to stay on the construction site.

These people are there to maintain the work done in the early stage, and they also carry some processes that can be done at this temperature.

The twenty-third day of the lunar month.

Off.

The viewing lake, which covers an area of nearly 3,000 acres, has been diverted with water since the tenth day of the lunar month.

Today, the lake is almost as high as upstream.

Because it is a living water, there is no water fence.

From time to time, a few large fish from the upper reaches of the lake jumped out of the water and splashed huge splashes on the surface of the lake.

Many workers went to the island in the middle of the lake and poured the other prepared scenic fish and edible fish into the lake.

And by the lake.

A fishing pavilion built in a hurry is located on the side of the road around the lake.

At this moment, the party-style cotton curtains fell on three sides of the pavilion, and the side facing the lake was open.

A fire was lit in the pavilion to keep out the cold outside.

Three fishing rods, sticking out of the pavilion, float on the surface of the lake, and the fish float undulating with the waves.

Zhu Yunxi sat in the middle, flanked by Zhu Gaochi, who was concentrating on fishing, and Zhu Shangbing, who was listless.

Zhu Gaochi looked at the people who were releasing fish on the island in the middle of the lake, and whispered: "Let's do this, isn't it a little lacking in morality?" ”

"That's also your lack of morality." Zhu Yunxi immediately replied: "It's you who wants to fish in winter." ”

Zhu Gaochi pouted: "Then you don't know another day, wait for them to release all the fish into the lake, and then call me to come and fish." It's not easy to fish at this time, and you have to wait until these fish get used to the water here, and then it's easy to fish......"

He even asked for it.

Zhu Yunxi slanted at the little fat and smiled.

Zhu Gaochi glanced at Sun Gou'er, the head of the inner palace standing in the snow in the distance.

He whispered: "Since I got here, Sun Daban has been standing there, you really don't go back to the palace for dinner today?" Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, and our family in Beijing will all enter the palace for dinner. ”

Zhu Yunxi moved his mouth: "There will be a little Chinese New Year's Eve on the construction site tonight, and I will stay here to eat a few bites." ”

Zhu Gao blinked: "Is it necessary to do this?" ”

"So far, there has been no storm, which shows that everyone is still hesitating, and I have to pour more oil on the fire myself."

Zhu Yunxi said lightly.

Zhu Gaochi's eyes widened: "You don't know ...... now?"

After saying half a sentence, he closed his mouth again.

Finally, Zhu Gaochi put down the fishing rod in his hand, turned around and walked into the pavilion and poured himself a cup of tea.

And his voice came out muffled.

"The fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

"Daji."

"Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty gave way to the crown prince."
