Shen Hao subconsciously rubbed his forehead, feeling a little headache.
After spending so many years in Xuanqing Guard, I had never dealt with the prince before, and I didn't even hear about it often. But something strange happened this year. First, the fifth prince, King Shou, ended up being labeled as a "disliked person". Now there is another seventh prince.
Are the princes showing up in a crowd?
"How can someone from the Song family be involved in gambling with the Seventh Prince?" Shen Hao didn't believe it. Businesses like gambling stalls are all about losing money and have a bad reputation. Would a high-ranking prince be involved in this kind of thing?
Wang Yiming explained: "The Seventh Prince likes to have fun, and he is involved in gambling stalls and flower houses. This is not a secret in the imperial city. In the early years when the Flower House opened, you could see the Seventh Prince going to the scene."
To create a scene for the Flower House? !
Shen Hao was shocked when he heard this. This seventh prince is quite strange! Isn't he afraid of being impeached by the officials?
Probably seeing Shen Hao's expression, Wang Yiming explained: "Sir, the seventh prince's character has always been like this. Even Yan Guan turned a blind eye to him and it was difficult to do anything about him."
Is this considered Goubuli?
Shen Hao nodded and waved Wang Yiming to retreat.
A prince who behaves erratically and wantonly?
As for the Song family. It's probably not simple either. It is impossible to expand the business to such a large scale just by relying on the prince. There must be a large network built on the basis of the seventh prince. Now this website wants to include Wuliangye...
...
Honghe Restaurant.
The reputation of this newly opened restaurant quickly spread throughout Fengri City. It is said that the chef is the apprentice of the imperial chef, and both the dishes and the taste are excellent.
In the No. A wing on the third floor, the old man Song Zhizhou was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, smelling the wine glass, and then took a sip.
Next to him was a Yamen adjutant named Chen.
"Master Chen, it is said that Shen Baihu is very difficult to talk to?"
"Haha, Brother Song must have heard of this person, right? Before King Shou came over, he reprimanded the man named Shen. Now the man named Shen has become a stinker on the street. He has a bad temper, but he has a tough mouth. Let me see, Brother Song, this time Come here as a straw to save his life, he should understand."
"I hope so. But the people of Xuanqingwei have always been difficult to deal with. I hope this will help Shen Baihu understand the current affairs."
Song Zhizhou poured himself another glass of wine as he spoke.
Why does such a good wine have an unclassy name like "Wuliangye"? The person named Shen is blind and has the name of a great talent, but he can't even pick a name.
A few days ago, this kind of Wuliangye was introduced to the imperial city, and it was regarded as a treasure. It became more and more mysterious in the circle. It was also said to be better than the immortal wine, which caused a lot of controversy. Later, after more people tasted this kind of wine, its reputation completely exploded. You can buy a jar for just a hundred taels of silver. The taste is almost the same as that of the fairy wine. Unfortunately, it is limited. If you have money, you may not be able to buy it. If the hook is good, This person is extremely uncomfortable.
What's even weirder is that this kind of good wine is only sold in Fengli City, and there are no stores at all elsewhere. Many people have seen the surging business opportunities. However, after a little understanding, I found that behind the Zhang family who was holding the Wuliangye liquor recipe, there was a hundred households of Xuanqing Guard.
The rank of a Baihu official is not high, but it is not low when placed in the Xuanqing Guards. Moreover, it is also a Baihu official in the Black Flag Camp, and it is within his jurisdiction, so it is not appropriate to use a strong one. And I heard that the Hundred Households of the Black Flag Camp was very powerful, and even the officials of the Thousand Households of Fenglu City couldn't do anything to him.
But there has been a turnaround recently. King Shou came over and walked around, but in the end the hundred households hated King Shou and was despised, fearing that the situation would be sad.
In Song Zhizhou's view, the opportunity has come. As long as they can get Wuliangye's wine recipe, the restaurant business that the Song family has just entered will definitely be able to quickly develop and even become a famous restaurant and spread out.
Not long after waiting, there was a knock on the door, and a young man wearing a black brocade robe with a wild goose spine knife at his waist came in.
So young! Song Zhizhou stood up and greeted him with a smile, but subconsciously sighed that the other party was much younger than he expected.
"Haha, Master Shen, I have admired you for a long time! I am Song Zhizhou, and Tian is the shopkeeper of the Song Family Restaurant. I would like to ask Master Shen for your advice in the future."
"Shopkeeper Song is so polite."
Shen Hao came over after getting off his errand. After entering, he exchanged a few words with Song Zhizhou, but from beginning to end, he did not take a second look at the adjutant named Chen next to him, and simply ignored him.
As soon as he sat down, Song Zhizhou asked his attendants to fill the glasses with wine for everyone present, and said with a smile: "I accidentally drank Wuliangye when I was in the imperial city, and I knew that there was another great wine in the world. I heard that this wine was improved by Master Shen. of?"
"Yes, I came up with the name Wuliangye. Yesterday, the housekeeper at home said that shopkeeper Song is here just for this wine?" Shen Hao was picking up vegetables and talking very casually, and he did not look at Song Zhizhou when he spoke.
Song Zhizhou raised his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Yes, our Song family is just preparing to enter the restaurant industry. We need an opportunity that can help us open up the situation. Wuliangye is it. I hope Master Shen can help us."
Shen Hao took the dish and put it into his mouth. He felt it was delicious and took another piece. He also took a sip of wine and said after a while: "How can Shopkeeper Song want me to help you?"
"Haha, this is very easy to handle. As long as Mr. Shen agrees to give us a copy of Wuliangye's wine recipe, our Song family will immediately give you one hundred thousand taels of silver, and if Mr. Shen needs it in the future, we can also help you introduce the Seventh Prince. Your Highness. I believe I can solve a lot of your current troubles."
"Tsk tsk, one hundred thousand taels? Wuliangye's daily sales are now more than this amount. Are shopkeeper Song kidding me? Your joke is not funny at all." Shen Hao continued to pick up vegetables and put them in his mouth, sneering in his heart. It seems that Song Zhizhou is planning to take advantage of him, but his brain is not very good.
Song Zhizhou did not change his words, but continued: "Master Shen, although one hundred thousand silver patterns is not much, compared with Master Shen's future, Master Shen should be able to calculate it, right?"
"Oh? Future? Is Shopkeeper Song also a member of the system? Talk to me about the future?"
"Lord Shen, why should you pretend to be ignorant? King Shou dislikes you. I'm afraid your life will be very sad, right? If you want to regain your strength, how can you not find a big tree? Our Song family is under the seventh prince, as long as we introduce him , the matter between you and King Shou can be easily solved. It’s just a small loss of money, so you won’t lose either.”
While he was talking, Shen Hao had already prepared a large bowl of rice. He waved his hand and asked for another bowl, then he ate on his own.
Song Zhizhou, who was waiting impatiently, frowned and was about to speak. Shen Hao had already finished the second bowl, put down his bowl and chopsticks and turned to look over.
"Shopkeeper Song, do you know why I agreed to come and have this drink?"
Song Zhizhou frowned but said nothing.
Shen Hao answered the question himself and continued: "Because my housekeeper told me that you were disrespectful to me when you came to deliver the greeting card. I am a very small-minded person, so I came to see who dares to be so arrogant."
"Master Shen, what do you mean by this?"
Shen Hao lost interest and stood up directly. The next moment he pushed the door open, a group of black-robed Xuanqing guards rushed in and tied up the two people present without any explanation.
