    When the two of them had almost finished eating, Li Min said, "Zihao, the winery will be able to produce production by the end of the month, so you have to hurry up with the Chamber of Commerce!"

    "Don't worry, Your Highness, I have often dealt with those wine merchants before, so I still have some friendship. With the support of several princes, I believe the chamber of commerce can be established within ten days." Wang Zihao said very confidently.  When it comes to business matters, Wang Zihao is experienced. He followed his father in shopping malls when he was very young. For him, forming a chamber of commerce was no challenge at all.

    "Okay, Zihao has courage. Come on, let me toast you a glass!" Li Min picked up the wine glass and praised, wine is the courage of a hero. After a few glasses of wine, Zihao was no longer as timid in front of him as before.

    "Thank you, Your Highness!" Wang Zihao also picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

    The matter of the Chamber of Commerce has been decided, and Li Min thought of another thing, so he added: "Although the brewing workshop has not been built yet, my house can still produce a small amount of Wuwang Zui. This morning, my uncle Wang of Jiangxia  He also wanted to go and let the restaurant under his name sell, but then we each got a share in proportion, so I want to hand over my share to you. I wonder if Zihao has a restaurant property under his name?"

    Li Min asked a little uncertainly. Last time, he lost all the Wang family's property. The Wang family only had a few small workshops and stores left to make ends meet, so now he doesn't know if the Wang family has a place to sell wine.

    Wang Zihao and his daughter looked at each other, both of them looking ecstatic. The little girl excitedly picked up a piece of roasted lamb chop and started to eat it.  Wang Zihao stood up and saluted Li Min and said, "Your Highness, thanks to the sales of fried tea, I have some spare capital, so I bought a restaurant and will be ready to open it in three days."

    "Haha~, what a coincidence!" Li Min said with a smile, he didn't expect such a coincidence to happen to him.

    "Haha, thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. With the help of these five kings, we will definitely spread the reputation of the restaurant." Wang Zihao said with a smile on his face.  In response to his father's words, Wang Xijun curled his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, nothing came out. He looked at Li Min with a complicated look, lowered his head and began to compete with the mutton chops in his hands.

    "By the way, I happen to have nothing to do that day, so I will definitely recruit some friends to cheer you on!" Li Min suddenly remembered that a restaurant had just opened. If he, the King of Liang, could recruit a group of aristocratic children, he would definitely increase the reputation of the restaurant.

    "Thank you for the honor, Your Highness!" Wang Zihao was even more delighted and very grateful to Li Min for his help.

    "Your Highness, since you handed over the Five Kings drunkenness to our restaurant, you might as well teach me how to make some new dishes such as roast duck. Then the restaurant will create a top-notch banquet called the 'Five Kings Banquet', which will definitely  Bring a large number of wealthy customers to the restaurant who are willing to spend money." Wang Xijun said with a smile. This was the first time she spoke to Li Min in a pleasant manner, and her little abacus was crackling.

    "Haha, you are such a smart girl. No wonder Zihao praises you as a business genius. These dishes are all the signature dishes of my palace, and they are not something you can give to you easily with just a few kind words!" Li Min said with a smile.  , he didn't pay much attention to the recipes of several dishes, he just said it deliberately to tease Wang Xijun.

    "Then what do you want? How about I give you 10% of the restaurant's profits?" The little girl was really deceived by Li Min, and she really wanted to know how to cook these dishes, whether it was roast duck, hot pot or  Beggar's chicken, any of them can make all the major restaurants break their heads, so they gritted their teeth and offered 10% of the restaurant's profits in exchange.  Wang Zihao was also very moved, so he did not stop his daughter's words.

    "Hahaha~, just kidding you, I haven't paid attention to how to make a few dishes!" Li Ming laughed, "Hot pot and beggar's chicken are not difficult to make, I just need to teach you, but roast duck requires more  A special stove is used, and I will ask the chef from my house to help you cook for a few days and help you build the stove. As for the 10% profit, you should keep it yourself!"

    Seeing Li Min agree, Wang Xijun and Wang Zihao were overjoyed. With these special signature dishes, plus the limited supply of Wu Wang Zui, this restaurant will definitely become popular. If it is run properly, it will even become popular in a few months.  The cost can be recovered within a short period of time.

    "This is not possible. Business is business. Since I have already said that I will use 10% of the income in exchange, I must not regret it!" However, the little girl insisted with a stubborn look on her face.

    Li Min was a little surprised. He wanted to make a joke, but he didn't expect this little girl to take it seriously?  When he looked at Wang Zihao, he wanted him to persuade him, but he didn't expect that Wang Zihao would also say with persistence: "Your Highness, what I said is right, the most important promise in business, since she has promised to exchange 10% of the income for these  She must never break her promise when it comes to making new dishes, otherwise she will not be qualified to be a businessman.??No one will come to her for business anymore!  "

    Li Min sweated profusely after hearing this. Thinking about the deceitful people in the shopping malls in later generations, how could he refuse to accept a contract signed in black and white, let alone a verbal promise?  Looking at the businessmen of the Tang Dynasty, casual promises are more useful than the laws of later generations. This makes him, a person from the 21st century, feel extremely ashamed.

    "Okay, since you insist, I will accept 10% of the restaurant's profit. However, I am really uneasy about just making these few dishes in exchange for 10% of the profit." Li Min said with some shame, "This way  Well, if there are any new dishes in my house from now on, I will have someone teach you how to make them, so don¡¯t mention the money issue again!"

    Li Min had no intention of using these new dishes to make money. Since the Wang family's restaurant was useful and he owed others, he might as well just give it all to them, which would also be a way to repay a favor to Li Min from the past.  Seeing how firmly Li Min spoke, Wang Zihao and his daughter no longer insisted, and gratefully agreed.

    After talking about the business, the banquet did not break up. Li Min picked up the banquet table and talked about martial arts, talking nonsense all over the world. After all, he grew up in the Internet era. If he only relied on his understanding of the entire world, it is estimated that the entire Tang Dynasty  No one is Li Min's opponent.  The Wang family and his daughter were dumbfounded by the anecdotes Li Min said. From what they heard, His Royal Highness the Prince of Liang was really knowledgeable. From astronomy to geography, there was nothing he didn't know.  He can speak clearly and eloquently about everything, even Wang Zihao, who prides himself on being well-informed, is defeated.

    It was not until sunset that Li Min released the Wang family and his daughter, who were dizzy from his talk, out of the house.  Li Min watched the Wang family's carriage leave, feeling very proud of himself. Those restaurants, chambers of commerce, etc. were not important. What was important was to get the talents of the Wang family and his daughter. Although the little girl Wang Xijun was still a little resistant to him, she  It's much better than at the beginning. I believe that as long as I show enough sincerity, I can definitely take the two of them under my command. From now on, the palace will finally have reliable talents in business, and I won't have to do everything by myself.  .

    Time rewinds back to this morning, and a scene was happening in the small kitchen next to the Lizheng Hall where Queen Changsun lived.  Eight-year-old Li Zhi and three-year-old Si Zi are busy inside. Li Zhi said at the banquet yesterday that he would personally make steamed eggs for his mother, the eldest grandson, the Empress. Now that is what they are busy with.

    Because he was too short to reach the stove, Li Zhi asked someone to raise a small stove and put it on the ground. He had mixed the eggs with water and salt according to Li Min's method yesterday, and was now steaming them in the pot.  The little girl Si Zi had to help with everything. At first she said she wanted to help Li Zhi, but unfortunately she became more and more helpful and almost knocked over the stove. The maids serving around her turned pale in fright, and they tried to persuade her a lot.  The second little Sizi just didn't listen.

    Later, when Li Zhi got angry, he simply refused to let Si Zi help. However, this little girl was very stubborn. If she was not allowed to help, she would do it by herself. As a result, she knocked the dishes all over the floor and did not do anything good. Fortunately, Si Zi  The accompanying maid had been by her side yesterday and saw with her own eyes what Li Min did. Finally, with her help, Si Zi finally steamed the eggs on the fire.

    After steaming for a while, Li Zhi thought it was almost done. He wanted to take the pot down by himself, but the palace maid held him tightly for fear of scalding Li Zhi.  Li Zhi is also very sensible and knows that the maids are doing it for his own good, so he doesn't insist and directs the maids to do their work.

    Although this steamed egg is simple, if the heat is not controlled well, it will easily cause the steamed eggs to bubble. This is what Li Zhi steamed. The condensed eggs are full of small pits, which is different from the kind steamed by Li Min.  The jelly-like texture differs greatly.

    At this time, Si Zi's side was also steamed. Her personal maid was very skillful and knew that steaming delicate things like eggs should not be done over high heat, so the surface of the eggs she steamed was extremely smooth, basically the same as what Li Min had made yesterday.  Same.

    "Oh, great, Sizi did it successfully!" The little girl jumped up and shouted excitedly. After being happy for a while, she ran over to see what Li Zhi had done. Finally, she laughed at Li Zhi and said, "Brother Ninth is really awesome."  Stupid, it¡¯s not as good as the eggs made by Sizi. Just now I didn¡¯t even let Sizi help, huh~¡±

    Little Sizi looked like a stinker, while Li Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Just now, except for Sizi putting the eggs into the bowl, everything else was done by her personal maid, and the little girl broke all the egg shells into the bowl.  The palace maid picked out the shells before they could be used. Does this count as her doing?  Li Zhi was very unconvinced, but he couldn't reason with the three-year-old Si Zi. He was so depressed that he wanted to hit the wall.

    At this moment, a palace official came to report that Queen Changsun had woken up, had just finished drinking the medicine, and was now preparing to eat something.  Li Zhi was shocked after hearing this. He didn't expect his mother to wake up so early and he didn't have time to do it again.  Si Zi was jumping up and down with joy, urging the palace maid to pour various condiments into bowls, and then had people carry them to the grandson.The queen's bedroom.
