In the evening.
The five of them finally returned to Chang 'an.
After parting with Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong at Yanxing Gate, Li Zexuan dismounted from his horse and walked home with Hu Jing and his brother.
He had the servants settle the siblings in two rooms on the west side of Mingyue Pavilion. At this time, Wang Zhong came to find him.
"Young Master, this is the account book that Shopkeeper Liu sent over today. He said he wants you to take a look."
Wang Zhong handed over a small booklet and said respectfully.
Li Zexuan nodded and took the booklet curiously. He was shocked when he opened it. It turned out that it was the profits of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant for the past few days.
The day before the launch of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant, the Drunken Immortal Restaurant earned a total of 352 strings of strings of cash.
On the day of the launch of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant, the Drunken Immortal Restaurant earned a total of 672 strings of cash.
On the second day, they earned 956 strings of cash.
On the third day, they earned 1,167 strings of cash.
…
Today, they earned 1,450 strings of cash.
Li Zexuan was shocked. The profits were too terrifying. They earned more than 1,000 strings of cash in a day. The Drunken Immortal Restaurant had become a money tree.
It seemed that he only needed to lie at home and count money in the future. Li Zexuan thought happily.
"Haha! Not bad, not bad. Uncle Wang, tell Shopkeeper Liu to do well! "
Li Zexuan chuckled as he handed the account book back to Wang Zhong. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Uncle Wang, bring Hu Jing and his brother to the Imperial Physician Bureau tomorrow and hand them over to Doctor Sun. I'll go take care of some matters first and then go take a look."
Wang Zhong smiled and nodded. "Yes, Young Master!"
… …
Yunxi Pavilion.
"Young Master …"
Xiao Ying trembled as he bowed to the young master by the window. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a ball of paper flying towards him. He didn't dare to dodge and could only let the paper ball hit his head.
"Trash, I left the Yunxi Pavilion to you to manage. Look at what it's become now? I helped you find the imperial chef, but you still can't beat the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. Now our restaurant has fewer and fewer customers and the Drunken Immortal Restaurant has more and more people. What use do I have for you! "
The young master turned around and scolded Xiao Ying while pointing at his nose with a sinister expression. After scolding him, he still wasn't satisfied. He picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at Xiao Ying's feet.
Xiao Ying's voice trembled in fear as he said, "This subordinate … this subordinate has failed in his task, please … please calm down, Young Master!"
"Calm down? What can you use to appease this Young Master's anger? Do you know how much the Drunken Immortal Restaurant earns in a day? Nearly 1500 strings of coins! That's equivalent to four days of profit for our Yunxi Restaurant! This Young Master has always had high hopes for you, and this is how you repay me? What a waste! "
The more the young master spoke, the angrier he got. In the end, he couldn't help but kick Xiao Ying twice.
Xiao Ying gritted his teeth and endured it. He did not make a sound. He immediately got up from the ground and cupped his hands.
"Young Master, I've investigated. The reason the Immortal Indulgence Inn has been so popular recently is mainly because they've launched two new wines, the Immortal Drunken Wine and the Paradise of Warmth. These two wines have unique concocting methods and extremely unique tastes, so they've attracted batch after batch of returning customers."
The young master calmed down a bit and ordered, "Then send someone to their winery and steal the secret recipe for their new wine. We also want to imitate this new wine."
Xiao Ying awkwardly said, "Young Master, I'm afraid this won't work. Li Zexuan placed his new wine in Duke Lu's winery to brew it. There are many guards from the Cheng Residence around the winery. Those people used to be soldiers and their skills are not bad. If we force our way in, I'm afraid we'll get into big trouble. "
After all, in Zhenguan Great Tang, the title of Demon King Cheng Yaojin was very intimidating. No one was willing to provoke this old demon.
"Then who else knows the secret recipe?"
The young master helplessly asked.
"Replying to Young Master, the craftsmen of the winery naturally know the recipe, but they have signed a contract with the Cheng Family. I'm afraid they won't easily reveal it! But according to what this subordinate knows, there should be another person who knows the recipe. "
"Who? Speak quickly! "
Xiao Ying cautiously said, "Replying to Young Master, that person is Han Tianhu's daughter. According to this subordinate's investigation, Han Tianhu's daughter is very likely to have participated in the brewing of the new wine. Moreover, she's one of the earliest participants. "
"Oh?" The young master raised his brows in surprise. Then, he paced back and forth in the room with his hands clasped behind his back.
Xiao Ying hesitated for a moment before he clenched his teeth and cupped his fists. "Young Master, this subordinate has another matter. I don't know …"
The young master unhappily waved his hand and said, "Speak!"
"Yes, Young Master. The subordinate reported that Miss Leng Yuyao has also arrived in Chang 'an. Yesterday, she and Eldest Young Master went to Li Zexuan's residence and stayed there for a total of two hours. As for what they discussed, this subordinate doesn't know. "
The young master halted his steps upon hearing this. His expression changed before he finally scolded with a cold expression.
"It's this little bitch again! Send someone to investigate what my Big Brother discussed with Li Zexuan yesterday. This Young Master feels that this matter isn't simple! "
Xiao Ying cupped his fists and replied, "Yes! This subordinate will arrange it now! "
"Wait!"
The young master muttered, "There's no need to investigate. According to my Big Brother's usual style, I reckon that he most likely went to find Li Zexuan to cooperate. It's too late to investigate now. The Immortal Drunken Wine's profits are huge. No matter what agreement they reached, it's extremely disadvantageous to us. We must find a way to turn the situation around as soon as possible. Otherwise, this Young Master will definitely lose this clan's trial! "
Xiao Ying softly said, "I'll follow Young Master's instructions!"
The young master thought for a moment before saying to Xiao Ying, "Come closer!"
Xiao Ying hurriedly did as he was told. The young master whispered a few words in his ear before returning to his normal voice. "Do you understand?"
Xiao Ying replied, "This subordinate understands. Young Master, please rest assured that nothing will go wrong."
The young master coldly said, "If there are any more mishaps, you don't need to live anymore."
Xiao Ying's body trembled as he cupped his fists and said, "Yes!"
The young master continued, "This Immortal Drunken Wine's profits are so huge. We're definitely not the only ones keeping an eye on it. You have to move quickly and pay attention to propriety. Don't kill anyone. If this matter gets out of hand, this Young Master won't be able to explain. Do you understand?"
Xiao Ying nodded and said, "This subordinate understands!"
The young master nodded with satisfaction and instructed, "To ensure that nothing goes wrong, you'll go this time as well. But if this matter is exposed, you must not reveal your identity. This time, all of you should avoid Han Tianhu as much as possible. Don't cause any trouble! "
"This subordinate understands!"
The young master waved his hand and said, "Go! The faster, the better! "
Xiao Ying slowly retreated.
In the room, after a long time, the young master's muttering voice could be heard. "Since young, you've always been better than me in everything. Everyone looked down on me. This time, I definitely won't lose to you again!"
However, no one noticed that a black-clothed man on the roof lightly flew away.
