After seeing everyone leave, Zhao Bin felt a little tired, got up and walked towards the back hall. In the backyard, three sisters, Xing'er, Cui'er and Ling'er, were sitting at the stone table chatting. When the three of them saw Zhao Bin coming out of the front hall, they stood up immediately.
"Your Majesty, is the meeting over?" Xing'er asked.
"Okay, it's over." Zhao Bin said as he sat on the stone bench.
"Your Majesty, are you tired? Can your servant rub your shoulders for Your Majesty?" He said, coming up behind him, leaning against Zhao Bin's back, and gently rubbing Zhao Bin's shoulders with both hands.
Zhao Bin was not polite and leaned his head back slightly, just right against Xing'er's plump breasts, making Xing'er blush. Linger propped up her chin and leaned on the stone table, watching the two of them giggling.
Zhao Bin glanced at her and said angrily: "Little girl, why are you laughing?"
"I'm laughing, Sister Xing'er is so lucky," Ling'er said while laughing.
"Damn girl, be careful if you say anything again I'll bite your tongue." Xing'er scolded.
"I didn't say this, you said it yourself!" Ling'er looked indifferent.
Zhao Bin lifted his legs and placed them on Ling'er's legs. Ling'er straightened Zhao Bin's legs with a smile and gently squeezed Zhao Bin's legs.
"Well, your luck has also come," Xing'er joked.
"A little bit..." Ling'er stuck out her tongue at Xing'er in a funny way.
Cui'er looked at the two of them rubbing their shoulders and pinching their legs. She had no place to start. She felt a little discouraged and looked at Zhao Bin with a pout.
How could Zhao Bin be the kind of person who favors one over the other? Of course he must be exposed to both rain and dew.
"Ah..." Zhao Bin opened his mouth to Cui'er. Cui'er realized immediately and picked up the small plate on the stone table: "Your Majesty, these are the dates picked by the guards in the morning. They are crisp and raw. You can try them." After saying this, Cui'er put a date into Zhao Bin's mouth. .
When Zhao Bin closed his mouth, he lightly bit Cui Er's slender fingers.
"Well, not bad, crispy and sweet, where did you pick it?" Zhao Bin asked.
Before Cui'er could answer, Ling'er chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, which one is sweeter, the dates or Cui'er?"
"Hahaha, it's all sweet." Zhao Bin smiled.
"Go, you damn girl, you are teasing Sister Wan Xing'er and you are teasing me, right?" Cui'er spat. "Let's see how I deal with you tonight."
"Humph, the prince said it's green and sweet. Be careful that the prince will deal with you at night." Ling'er teased with a playful smile.
"Damn girl, you still say that." Cui'er said, throwing a date and lightly hitting Ling'er on the head.
"Oh, if you don't go, will Sister Xing'er and I go?"
"You..." Cui'er still didn't say what she said. She didn't know if she wanted to say that you should go, or if she wanted to say that you shouldn't go.
"I'm becoming more and more shameless." Xing'er said lightly.
Zhao Bin closed his eyes and leaned against Xing'er, listening to the three people's banter, and waves of fragrance came into his mind from time to time. This comfortable life really felt like being a prince.
"Myolie, you always have a scent on your body. Did you use some incense?" Zhao Bin suddenly asked.
"Your Majesty, Sister Xing'er doesn't use incense. She has a natural body fragrance that I don't have." Before Xing'er could answer, Ling'er said first.
"Don't you also have a scent on your body?" Zhao Bin said.
"The fragrance on my slave's body comes from the petals she picked and made into sachets. The fragrance on Sister Xing'er's body comes with her own. I'm really envious of others." Ling'er said.
"Twee'er, go get my charcoal pencils, wooden ruler and paper. I'll teach you how to make something good." Zhao Bin sat up straight and said to Tweety.
"It's the prince." Cui'er turned around and entered the room.
Soon Cui'er came back with a pen and paper. Zhao Bin took the pen and paper. The three people gathered around and watched Zhao Bin draw on the paper.
Half an hour later, pictures of various bottles and jars and some drainage tubes appeared on the drawing. The three people looked at each other, wondering what these bottles and jars were used for.
Zhao Bin handed the drawings to Ling'er: "Ask Chunxi to find a ceramics workshop and ask them to customize two sets for the palace as soon as possible according to the size."
"Your Majesty, what is this?" Cuier asked curiously.
"To put it simply, this is called a distiller," Zhao Bin said. "You don't understand it now, but you will know it when the thing is made."
"If you have nothing to do these days, pick more petals and dry them in the sun. After the distiller is made, the prince will teach you how to make good things that all women want." Zhao Bin continued. Because they really didn't understand what it was for, the two of them didn't ask any more questions.
"By the way, Myolie, how much money does the palace have?" Zhao Bin asked.
"Your Majesty, there is not much money in the palace. We spent about 3,000 taels on purchasing the houses on both sides of the palace, purchasing copper, purchasing charcoal for making salt and hiring labor. Now the palace has less than 4,000 taels left." Xing'er He said with a sad look on his face.
"It's less than 4,000 taels. An ordinary house in the capital costs about 1,000 taels. A larger shop facing the street may cost no less than 3,000 taels."
But fortunately, we are only renting a shop. With the renovation of the shop in the early stage, five or six hundred taels in the first month should be enough. "Zhao Bin murmured to himself.
Then Zhao Bin took Xing'er's hand, pulled her closer, and sat on his lap: "Xing'er, why don't you go back to the capital and go back to the capital? I still don't worry about letting others go."
"My slave, please obey the prince's arrangements." Myolie sat on Zhao Bin's legs, looking even more charming.
"Then you will go back with Tian Qi and the others the day after tomorrow. You will come back after the shop opens. In addition, let Master Zhang and Master Liu from the dining room go with you. The hot pot dishes alone are too single. There must be a few other specialties. vegetable.
During this time, I also taught them a lot of dishes and asked them to be responsible for the kitchen. Zhang Guide and the others were responsible for the front work, so you don't have to show your face. "Zhao Bin hugged Xing'er's slender waist and murmured.
During dinner on the second day, Zhao Bin called several important people in the house together to give them a farewell.
Xing'er, Chunxi, Tian Qi, Wang Dayong, the two chefs in the dining room, Zhang Guide and Li Youcai were sitting around the dining table. Except for Xing'er and Chunxi, everyone else looked uneasy.
Because sitting with them was His Highness King Yan, which ordinary people would never dare to think about in their lives. Even though this King Yan was almost exiled to this place, he was still a prince.
Zhao Bin picked up his wine glass and drank a glass of wine with everyone present. Then he put down his wine glass and said: "I came to Beijing this time to make money, but you need to be careful. The capital is a mixed bag, and there are forces from all sides.
Lao Qi and Dayong, the safety issue is left to you two. Don't do anything unless your life is endangered. In business, peace is the most important thing. "
"It's the prince, I've written it down." The two of them said, cupping their hands.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, shopkeeper Li, if you come to Beijing for the first time, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask Xing'er. I have told her the specific matters. She will come back when the restaurant opens. Then I will rely on you. You're seated." Zhao Bin raised his wine glass and motioned to the two of them.
In fact, as a prince, he didn't have to do this at all, but in order to win people's hearts, he still chose to do it, so that the two of them could devote themselves to the palace.
The two of them hurriedly picked up the wine glasses: "Your Majesty, you are really embarrassing the common people. We can do things for you because of our ancestors' virtues. Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will ask Miss Xing'er for advice on everything, and we will definitely do our best for the palace."
"Okay, since you have already worked for me, don't call yourself a commoner in the future. Just like Dayong and others, call yourself a subordinate."
"Common people, no, I have thanked the prince." After the two of them finished speaking, they drank the wine in their glasses, which seemed quite heroic.
Xing'er on the side poured another glass of wine for Zhao Bin. Zhao Bin picked up the wine glass and poured it over to the two chefs in the dining room and said: "Two chefs, the kitchen affairs will be left to you. When the kitchen staff arrives in the capital, you can choose it yourself. The wages can be 20% higher than those in the market.
Winter will begin in more than a month, and it will be easier to transport the meat then. I will have people continue to deliver mutton to you. "
"It's the prince. Don't worry, prince. We brothers will do a good job." After saying that, the two stood up and had a glass of wine at close range with Zhao Bin to show their respect.
In the eyes of ancient people, the concept of a gentleman staying away from the cook was still very deep. Cooks and maids were all servants and were not qualified to sit with the master, let alone the prince. Therefore, the two of them are very honored to be sitting here. If they tell this, they can brag for a lifetime.
Because they were leaving tomorrow, everyone didn't drink too much and went back after eating.
That night, Ling'er and Cui'er consciously did not appear in Zhao Bin's room. The sound of gasping and the creaking of the bed occasionally came from the room. Finally, when Myolie was really exhausted, the two of them fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, under the watch of Zhao Bin, several people and a dozen guards from last night slowly left the palace and headed towards the capital.
