I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Yin Xuan's words well reflected his attitude.

What is "continue to call him the shopkeeper in the future"?That is Yin Xuan in front of them, his identity is still the shopkeeper of Tongfu restaurant, not that high-ranking county man.

Wu Youdao heaved a sigh of relief, but also boldly said, "Since the store has been knighted, it's really a blessing, so the boy will order another Man Jiang Hong, half a catty of burnt knives, to celebrate for the store."

Yin Xuan threw the pen on the counter and nodded cheerfully: "Sure, I'll burn it for you now."

At the same time, he called Ji Wen to the yard to get some wine.

The guests all let out a sigh of relief.

Yin Xuan is still the same Yin Xuan.

The restaurant is still the restaurant.

As soon as the burden in my heart was relieved, I wanted to release my emotions. Not only Wu Youdao, but other guests also spoke one after another, and they all ordered a few more dishes.

Today's income has increased a bit.

Li Shimin, Wei Zheng, and Fang Xuanling were also a little emotional.

"I didn't expect the store to become a county man, and it would be like this." Fang Xuanling stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth, and said with emotion.

Wei Zheng glanced at him and said angrily, "This is unexpected."

"I can tell that the store owner is a good person, not the kind of person who will float to the sky if he gives some small favors casually."

Duan Zhixuan sneered.

Wei Zheng shivered, not knowing why Duan Zhixuan was smiling so much, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

The restaurant gradually became lively again.

Yin Xuan cooked all the dishes for the guests who ordered, and then brought a plate of braised pork and put it on Li Shimin's table.

"Thank you, I think you have spent a lot of thought on this title." Yin Xuan thanked Li Shimin and sat down.

Li Shimin looked at this braised pork and blinked, a little pleasantly surprised.

There are such benefits?
"The main thing is that you, the store owner, have real talents and learning. I just mentioned it casually, and it didn't take much effort." Li Shimin restrained himself from picking up his chopsticks, and smiled slightly at Yin Xuan.

Yin Xuan waved his hand: "I'm just being polite to you, a seventh-rank official like you can't interfere with matters such as conferring titles."

The smile on Li Shimin's face froze.

Wei Zheng couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

Li Shimin glanced over, knocked on the table, and said softly: "Although I am a seventh-rank official, after all, you are the shopkeeper who was recommended by me."

"That's why I had the honor to participate in a court meeting on the day when we were discussing about the title of the store."

Yin Xuan nodded.

Li Shimin sighed with emotion: "Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous. After I proposed, he strictly reviewed your qualifications and your contributions to the store."

"Finally, His Majesty proposed that he want to confer you a real noble county."

Yin Xuan still nodded in disbelief.

Speaking of this, Li Shimin sighed: "At that time, there was no objection in the court. Just when the shopkeeper and your county were about to be finalized, the waiter Xuan Chenggong jumped out and said what. The shopkeeper, your firearms may not be so practical. You shouldn’t get such a big title for any store.”

Wei Zheng's smile froze, and his face turned slightly green.

His Majesty actually gave himself eye drops!

Duan Zhixuan took the blame and nodded: "I don't know what enmity or grievance that servant has with the shopkeeper, but he wished the shopkeeper would not get the title."

Yin Xuan nodded thoughtfully, then glanced at Duan Zhixuan: "You also went to the court meeting?"

Duan Zhixuan's face froze. His apparent status was only eighth rank to join the army. Where did joining the army get the chance to attend the court meeting? He sneered: "I heard, I heard."

Li Shimin quickly smoothed things over for Duan Zhixuan: "I testify that what he said is true."

Fang Xuanling then added: "I heard that the waiter has always made a lot of enemies in the court, and he is also a late bloomer. I think he is jealous of the shopkeeper, you are young and promising."

Wei Zheng's face turned even greener.

Yin Xuan nodded and actively cooperated with them: "So that servant is really bad?"

Several little old men nodded heavily.

"After that, if the waiter comes to eat, please remember to remind me, and I will kill him severely." Yin Xuan clapped his hands, finalizing an idea.

The little old men smiled brightly.

Yin Xuan glanced at them: "I don't give you any money, why are you smiling so happily?"

"I thought of something happy." Li Shimin restrained his expression and replied seriously, "I have already prepared the cement company."

"He Chaotang also made a deal to build Zhuque Avenue. How do you plan to sell this cement?"

Yin Xuan tilted his head and thought for a while.

Cement is different from restaurants, he can't get experience.

This thing is an essential thing for infrastructure. It is not good if the price is too expensive, so it will not be able to be used. After all, if a road is built, it is not known how much cement will be used.

Take the path of small profits but quick turnover.

"One catty of cement costs two cents." After thinking for a while, and comparing the current prices in Tang Dynasty, Yin Xuan came up with an answer that he thought was reasonable.

Two pennies.

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows: "Only two coins per catty?"

"Will it be too cheap?"

Yin Xuan glanced at him: "I don't know how you managed to persuade him to succeed. You didn't even figure out the cost, so the court rashly agreed to it?"

Li Shimin blushed.

Wei Zheng coughed lightly.

Fang Xuanling looked around, feeling unnatural.

This... It was the first time for the imperial court to do business with others. They had no experience, so they naturally forgot about it. If Li Shimin hadn't mentioned this, I'm afraid they would only remember it when the matter came to an end.

Yin Xuan waved his hand and continued, "Two pennies is not cheap. Do you know how much cement it costs to build a road?"

Li Shimin shook his head hesitantly.

He really didn't count.

Yin Xuan smiled slightly: "Zhuque Street is about 150 feet long. As the main road, the thickness of the basic cement road should be guaranteed to be about [-] centimeters."

cm
Li Shimin has also heard of this concept. It is a unit of length that Yin Xuan uses when teaching his two daughters.

"I really did some calculations during this time." Yin Xuan paused, knocked on the table, and said softly: "If you want to build all of Zhuque Street into concrete roads, you will need at least 18 jin of cement. "

18 pounds!

The little old men held their breath and widened their eyes.

Li Shimin calculated with his fingers and raised his eyebrows, what a guy. He also disliked the fact that cement is cheap at two cents a catty, but based on this result, it would take more than 300 guan to build such a road?

Um.
Huh?
After a while, Li Shimin discovered Huadian.

It only takes more than 300 guan?
