They also secretly sent people to buy “So It’s You” drinks and snacks back. After realizing that the food they made was indeed worlds apart, they actually expressed their desire to franchise in twos and threes.
Xiaoxiao thought that Second Brother would reject her sternly, but he actually agreed calmly after serious consideration.
“Second Brother has thought about it. We can’t rely on this skill forever. Brother wants to let go of milk tea and open some new shops.”
“So It’s You” didn’t need much. The unused portion of 5,000 taels was very ample.
Moreover, Jiao’er would come to the Imperial Capital soon. With her ability, managing the milk tea shop was a piece of cake. Wouldn’t he have to think of some new tricks?
Xiaoxiao was interested. “Oh? Then has Second Brother thought of doing anything else?”
Ning Anhui asked her, “Sister, I think I heard you say that you ordered a lot of sheep in the border town?”
He brought up his considerations after careful consideration. “Actually, I think that the weather will be cold after winter. Even the dishes served in the restaurant will cool down quickly. It’s meaningless to spend a lot of money to order a table of dishes, but we can rarely eat anything hot. If we can set up that barbecue and build a soup shop, it will be steaming hot. It will just be able to chase away the cold winter air.”
“It’s just that the barbecue is smokey. Will the people in the Imperial Capital dislike it?”
Xiaoxiao clapped. “What a coincidence!”
Ning Anhui had interacted with her for a long time. When he heard the word “coincidence”, he instinctively felt suspicious.
Xiaoxiao pretended not to see Second Brother’s expression and said, “I found more than one shop for sale.”
Ning Anhui narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms. He was just short of saying, “Make it up, make it up for me again.”
Xiaoxiao was especially thick-skinned in front of her family and made up stories.
“I think that shop is moderate in size and has all the props. It’s suitable for opening a restaurant. However, this regular restaurant is not suitable for us.” She chuckled and said, “Second Brother’s idea is excellent. Who would reject a warm meal in winter?”
Just as she was about to say that she would go back and consider it, she saw her Second Brother staring at her with a gaze that could see through everything. “Alright, don’t hide it from your Second Brother. Just say it. What shop are we opening?”
Xiaoxiao continued to chuckle and told him the truth.
“Mutton soup pot.”
When the cold wind blew, who could resist the temptation of hotpot and barbecue?
When the new shop opened and the unique fragrance wafted through the streets of the capital, more and more commoners were attracted, watched, and tried. Then, they could not stop.
Recently, the Xiao Family, especially Xiaoxiao, had been in the limelight too much. As the saying went, the bird that sticks out gets shot. Some people were jealous, so naturally, some people would look for their mistakes. Soon, Imperial Censor Zuo would be the first to cause trouble in the court.
“Your Majesty, what kind of place is the Imperial Capital? It’s under the Emperor’s feet and represents the dignity of our Great Xia Dynasty. Moreover the Second Prince of Xiongnu is still living in the Imperial Capital. If we let that barbecue stall continue, won’t the streets become foul?”
The Emperor had been very dissatisfied with the Zuo Family recently, especially with their most prestigious family style.
Initially, the Empress told him that she liked the daughter of the Zuo Family’s first wife. He thought that Xiao Ning had already bestowed a marriage to the Third Prince and planned to let the Crown Prince do whatever he wanted this time. Unexpectedly, not long after, he heard that the Crown Prince and the concubine’s daughter of the Zuo Family were in an ambiguous relationship. It was fine to listen to stories about sisters having the same husband. If the Crown Prince took in the Zuo sisters at the same time, he would not be the only one who would be mocked by the world. He would also have nowhere to put his face as the Emperor.
Hence, it was absolutely impossible for one to be the main princess consort
and the other to be the secondary princess consort.
Moreover, the Empress and Noble Consort Ji actually mentioned such a ridiculous request to him.
Did they not take him, the Emperor, seriously, or did they take the Yan Family too seriously?
If not for the fact that the treasury was still empty and everything needed money…
Suppressing his thoughts, the Emperor coldly listened to Imperial Censor Zuo’s words. “Foul?”
“But why did I hear that that shop is clean and hygienic? Other than the fragrance, there’s no black smoke at all?”
Imperial Censor Zuo, who only cared about scolding people and had never gone
to the field to investigate, said, “How is that possible?”
Barbecue was roasting food with charcoal. How could there be no smoke?
Hence, the Emperor happily and willingly brought a few officials who were also dissatisfied with the food stall to the streets of the Imperial Capital incognito. There was a charcoal stove in front of a shop called “Mutton Mutton Mutton”. The skewers of mutton were rolling on the charcoal fire under the barbecue master’s skilled skills. When the color of the meat changed, the master sprinkled cumin powder in an exaggerated manner.
“Come, come, come. Let’s try the Mutton Mutton Mutton mutton skewers for free!”
You really don’t want money? Are you giving it to us?”
Ning Anhui, who had suddenly taken up the role of a barbecue chef today, said calmly, “It’s only the first skewer.”
“Starting from the second skewer, it’s 2 copper coins for one string. Buy five and get one free. There’s a limited inventory. If you want to buy it, buy it quickly.”
The people who came for the first time wanted to laugh. They could barely swallow mutton. If it was not free, no one would hesitate to eat it. Where did this shopkeeper get his confidence from, as if he still felt that it was not enough to sell?
However, when they tried to take a bite of the mutton skewers that this fool had given them for free,
Eh? It was neither smelly nor dry. Unknowingly, the entire skewer was finished.
Is it good? Fm not sure. One more.
“Sir, you’ve already received the test food just now. Next is a skewer of two copper coins.”
Ning Anhui’s request when recruiting servers was one important point-they could remember faces.
The server smiled amiably. “Or you can come again tomorrow. We have a fixed number of free tastings every day.”
This person hesitated for a while and felt that his tongue could not wait until tomorrow. “Then I’ll have a skewer.”
The server continued to smile. “Alright, you won’t lose out with two copper coms. You won’t be fooled by two copper coins. However, this cold wind is bleak. One stick won’t warm your body. Do you want more? We’ll have to buy five get one free as our opening promotion.”
In a moment of carelessness, many people contributed 10 copper coins.
On the surface, Ning Anhui didn’t move, but in reality, he had already made plans in his heart.
10 copper coins and 10 copper coins. A hundred 10 copper coins is one tael. Its not a problem for an adult to have 10 mutton skewers. Then a hundred 20 copper coins is two taels. If I meet someone with a big appetite…
As he was calculating the bill, he saw a group of customers with unique auras. Hence, he instructed the server.
After going to the General’s Residence’s coming-of-age banquet, the Emperor despised the food in the palace more and more. It was fine if the dishes were unchanged, but the taste was also blah. The more he ate, the less he liked it.
He had also eaten mutton from the imperial chef in the past, but it was really difficult for him to swallow. Initially, he was not interested when he heard that Xiao Ning’s adoptive brother opened a mutton shop, but the smell was really tempting. Should he go in and try it?
Just as this thought arose, they saw the waiter come to them with a plate of freshly made mutton skewers.
This is your first time here, right? Do you want to try it? It’s still hot. If it doesn’t taste good, turn around and leave. There’s no charge..”
