"Wife, later on, ask Uncle Wang to purchase a batch of soybeans, the more the better! After purchasing them, mobilize all the servants in the residence to distribute bean sprouts! When the time comes, send a portion to the Academy and another portion to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant! "
Li Zexuan said to Han Yuxi when he left the Yunshan Residence in the afternoon.
"Yes! Husband wants to start a bean sprouts business? "
Han Yuxi responded and asked again.
"Yes! Since we plan to introduce bean sprouts to the Academy's cafeteria, why not take out a portion to sell in Chang 'an City? If we don't make money, what are we if not fools? "
Li Zexuan smiled and said.
Actually, at the very beginning, he didn't plan to sell the bean sprouts. His purpose of making bean sprouts was to give his family a change of taste so that they could eat vegetables in this season. However, what Li Tai said earlier made a bit of sense. He was the Yamachō of Yanhuang College, and the students in the Academy were all his students. He couldn't leave something good for himself and not share it!
Therefore, when Li Tai left, Li Zexuan had already made up his mind to introduce bean sprouts to the Academy's cafeteria. Since there were bean sprouts in the cafeteria, how could there be no Drunken Immortal Restaurant! After all, no one would complain about having too much money!
"Oh … if you ask all the servants in the residence to help distribute bean sprouts, aren't you afraid that our method will be leaked?"
Han Yuxi blinked and suddenly thought of a problem and quickly asked.
Now, the bean sprouts in the Li Family were all personally prepared by her, Xiao He, and Xiao Xi, so naturally, there wouldn't be any leaks. However, if there were more people involved, then it would be hard to say.
When Li Zexuan heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly and he said coldly, "If it's leaked, then so be it. It's not something valuable. Even if our family doesn't have this income, we won't collapse! Wife, just ask Uncle Wang to do as I say! "
Han Yuxi's eyes showed some doubts, but she finally nodded and said, "Don't worry, husband. I will tell Uncle Wang!"
"Yes! Then I'll go to the Academy! "
After saying that, Li Zexuan left the room.
"Feiji, for the time being, you don't have to stay by my side and protect me. Go back to Chang 'an and keep an eye on the mansion. See if there are any servants acting strangely or colluding with outsiders! If there is, don't alert them. Wait for me to go back and deal with it! "
On the way, Li Zexuan suddenly instructed Pang Feiji, who was beside him.
Pang Feiji was startled. After a while, he regained his senses. His expression changed as he said in a low voice, "Marquis suspects that there is a spy in the residence?"
Li Zexuan smiled and said casually, "No! I'm just trying to see if there's a spy in our residence! "
Han Yuxi's words earlier had indeed given him a warning. Since ancient times, benefits had moved people's hearts. With his current identity and status, he could ignore the benefits brought by bean sprouts, but what about the others? Would others not care as much as he did?
If there was no spy, then he would use the bean sprouts to make money. If there was a spy, then he would not lose out. He could use the bean sprouts to clean up the disloyal servants in the residence. This could prevent more losses in the future!
In short, you can make a killing, but I will definitely not lose out!
"Uh …"
Pang Feiji was a little confused. He did not quite understand what Li Zexuan meant.
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about anything else. Just do as I say!"
"Yes! Marquis! I'll return to Chang 'an tomorrow! "
Pang Feiji bowed and cupped his fists.
…
"Add oil!"
"Add more salt!"
"It's too little, add more!"
"Add bean sprouts!"
"Stir-fry!"
"Add onions, add onions!"
"Add … add more vinegar!"
In the evening, the chefs of Prince Wei's Residence met their master, Li Tai, in the kitchen. They heard that Li Tai wanted to make a new dish, and that if they did not do well, everyone would be punished. All the chefs were under immense pressure. They raised their spirits and carried out Li Tai's orders meticulously!
How did Li Tai know how to stir-fry bean sprouts? He heard it from Han Yuxi in the afternoon! Now, the little fatty was applying what he had learned. He personally demonstrated what it meant to cook with one's mouth!
"Your Highness, can we take the wok out?"
The chef who was in charge of cooking felt that it was about time, so he carefully turned his head and asked.
One could not cook with one's mouth. Without the help of these experienced chefs, Li Tai would not be able to stir-fry a plate of fragrant bean sprouts based on the information given by Han Yuxi.
Most of the time, Li Tai would only talk about the general process. The specific details would still depend on the experience of the chefs.
"Yes! You can take the wok out! "
Li Tai went forward to take a look. Seeing that the bean sprouts in the wok were similar to the ones he ate at Li Zexuan's place, he hurriedly instructed the chef to take the wok out.
"Yes!"
The chef who was in charge of cooking responded. Then, he picked up the wok and poured the bean sprouts into a porcelain plate that was prepared beforehand. The tender white sprouts were wrapped in oil droplets. Reflecting the light of the setting sun that shone in through the window, it looked even more appetizing! The white porcelain plate, the white bean sprouts, and the emerald green onions, made one's appetite even more aroused!
The most unbearable thing was the fragrance of the bean sprouts that had just come out of the wok. The fragrance of such fresh vegetables was extremely rare in winter.
"Yes! Not bad! There will be rewards for all of you! In a while, all of you can go and get your rewards from Officer Wu! "
Li Tai went forward and sniffed. He was in a good mood and said to everyone in the kitchen.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed to thank him.
Li Tai was about to instruct the servants to bring the dishes to the main hall when he suddenly paused inexplicably, as if he had thought of something. After a while, he said, "Fry the remaining bean sprouts and put them in the food box. This prince is going to the palace!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The people in the kitchen bowed and answered.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Tai carried an exquisite wooden food box and rode a carriage toward the palace.
…
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Prince Wei requests an audience!"
West Court of the Imperial Palace, Empress Zhangsun's bedroom.
Li Er was eating with Empress Zhangsun when the palace maid outside the door suddenly came in and bowed.
"Qingque? Let him in! "
Li Er nodded and instructed the palace maid. Then, he looked at Empress Zhangsun and said with a smile,
"Oh! How strange. This boy actually thought of his father and mother? "
"Your Majesty, what are you saying? Back then, you agreed to let Qingque study at Yanhuang College. Now that Qingque is busy with her studies and doesn't often enter the palace, Your Majesty is blaming her!"
Empress Zhangsun smiled and exonerated Li Tai.
"Your son pays his respects to Father and Mother!"
While chatting, Li Tai had already walked in. The little fatty carried a food box in his hand and couldn't salute, so he could only bow.
