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

It didn't take long for the news of Tongfu Academy to spread throughout Chang'an City.

Li Yifu also made a big splash.

As the only person who failed the imperial examination and was able to become an official in the imperial court, his reputation was not even weaker than that of Ji Wen - after all, although Ji Wen's family background could not be compared with the family background, it did not appear to be down and out.

But Li Yi's mansion can fully represent what a poor boy should look like-the family is so poor that if you want to eat meat, you have to pawn your pants.

That is to say, I found a job teaching for the son of a merchant and made some money, which gradually improved the family's life.

But it can only be said to be barely above average.

Especially when Li Yifu became an official, it was very dramatic - not only because he entered the court as a student who failed the ranking, but also because, from the words of the official in Menxia Province, it could be heard that Li Yifu replaced those useless descendants of the family.

Although it's just a small thing.

But it also represents the imperial court's position, and is on the side of their humble children.

Tongfu Academy still respects Ji Wen as the leader, but those poor scholars who didn't join the club and don't often come to restaurants for dinner, all of them regard Li Yifu as a role model in their hearts.

Yin Xuan talked about the renovation of the second floor.

Suddenly, the voice of the system popped out in his head.

The popularity of the restaurant in Chang'an City has reached 80.00%[-], and a new branch has been unlocked, which is good news.

However, Yin Xuan was also a little puzzled.

Why hasn't his own chess and card teahouse unlocked its popularity yet?

Logically speaking, since I am so famous in Chang'an City, it shouldn't be a problem to unlock the first branch of my chess and card restaurant when I come up, right?

But until now, there has been no movement.

The customers in the restaurant all knew the news, and he even publicized it in the first few days after it opened.

Could it be that……

What other hidden conditions are there actually for unlocking this reputation?

Yin Xuan raised his hand and rubbed his chin. After dealing with the carpenter, he decided what kind of decoration should be used on the second floor. Then he returned to the kitchen and began to think about this issue again.

When I won the Mingyue Tower and Chunjiang Tower in a row, the initial unlocked reputation was not right. The gossip spread so far, but the unlocked reputation was only these.

But this time, the news that Ji Wen Zhuangyuan and Li Yifu became officials has increased his reputation so much.

From the data level, this constitutes a clear and effective mathematical model.

Listen to the sound of playing cards from outside.

Yin Xuan raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes slightly, and vaguely had an idea in his mind.

Is it because of "irreplaceability"?
The reason why the reputation was so low at the beginning was because for most people, Tongfu Restaurant was just an ordinary restaurant, where they always eat?
Even if Mingyuelou and Chunjianglou are not as delicious as Tongfu restaurants, but... most of the meals are either for food or for socializing, and there is not that much demand for delicious food.

But now, his reputation has been established step by step.

There were two more people, Ji Wen and Li Yifu.

Restaurants are irreplaceable in the minds of most people, especially the group of scholars, who are about to promote restaurants as holy places like Confucian temples.

If it was because of this reason, then the chess and card teahouse's reputation had remained silent until now, so it was clear that the chess and card teahouse was not irreplaceable.

Playing cards in restaurants is the same as playing cards in teahouses.

If it doesn't work, it's the same if you buy a mahjong game and know how to play at home.

Tea, milk tea and other things can also be eaten in restaurants...

But this is just a guess after all, and Yin Xuan can't be sure, so let's keep it in mind for the time being, and plan to do something to test it out after a while.

if it is real……

Yin Xuan was a little lucky, fortunately he didn't lose his mind and opened a second restaurant in Chang'an, otherwise... I don't know how long it will take for this branch to become famous.

Then the branch authority this time must be used with caution.

Originally, Yin Xuan planned to drive in Luoyang - after the road was built, there were so many billboards, it was a great opportunity to improve his reputation.

But if there is such a rule, it is not so appropriate to open this branch in Luoyang.

The brilliance of this store will cover up the color of the branch. Just like now, the brilliance of this store makes the chess and card teahouse look dim. Although there are always many customers, the reputation has not been unlocked.

Unicom road, after the news can spread faster, the news of our store will spread to Luoyang, which will also affect the speed of reputation collection of the branch in Luoyang.

Keep it, and use it after you test whether this rule is true?

Or are you using it now?

Yin Xuan thought about it, and decided to use it directly. The quota is renewable. If his guess is false, then the next quota will be used in Luoyang. Anyway, it will not be a loss.

If your guess is true, then you will earn a time difference.

Just do it!

After finalizing his decision, Yin Xuan used this quota in Yizhou, which is some distance away from Chang'an, and it is also one of the most prosperous cities in the Tang Dynasty.

The system took Yin Xuan's money and began to arrange it.

And in Luoyang.

Kong Yingda took more than a dozen young people off the ferry and walked into this ancient city.

When the whole family was happy during the Chinese New Year, he left the Kong family and brought with him more than a dozen Kong family members who agreed with his ideas, which made the elders in the clan very angry.

One was so angry that he became ill and almost died of a stroke.

This made Kong Yingda feel a little sorry, it was just a little bit short.

The journey was not easy. The Kong family did some tricks and didn't dare to kill them, but it made them feel uncomfortable all the way. It took several times of stumbling to get to Luoyang.

"Uncle, is this Luoyang?" A young man poked his head up, watching the people coming and going in the city, with longing in his eyes.

Qufu is a small city, far less prosperous.

Kong Yingda nodded and breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, this is Luoyang. Once we get here, it will be much easier to go to Chang'an."

"Isn't it closer to the waterway?" A child asked a question. Why do you need to stay in Luoyang again if you go up the water?

Kong Yingda shook his head: "I'll show you something."

"It's why I have the courage to resist that Kong family."

This group of young people was a little at a loss. Isn't their uncle's confidence in the store in Chang'an City?Could it be that the store owner is now in Luoyang?

Kong Yingda didn't explain too much, but thought of the long concrete road he saw when he first left Chang'an, the cement road interspersed with dirt, mountains, and fields.

I have been away from Chang'an for so long, so it should be repaired.

After resting in Luoyang for a day, they immediately set out on the road again. Starting from Anximen, they faced a straight and flat concrete road.

Cars, horses and pedestrians come and go on it.
