Chapter 118 Returning the Pearl Again 08

The next day, the weather was fine and the weather was fine.

Liu Qing and Liu Hong came to Longyuan Building after breakfast, and Liu Hong taught the chef a new dish, spicy chicken. The rich spicy flavor and mouth-filling aroma instantly captured the taste buds of everyone in the kitchen.

The shopkeeper smiled from ear to ear again. The braised pork was very popular. The chef even braised other meats. Each one was so delicious and very popular with customers.

This spicy chicken really appeals to those who don't like spicy food, but those who don't like spicy food...

The shopkeeper hesitated and asked coyly, "Miss Liu Hong, do you have non-spicy chicken? After all, there are only a few people who like to eat such spicy food."

Liu Hong chuckled and told her how to make Kung Pao Chicken. The chef at Longyuanlou is really good at making Kung Pao Chicken based on Liu Hong’s instructions. It’s not spicy, but very fresh.

The shopkeeper put one chopstick after another into his mouth. It was delicious. Just like spicy chicken, each has its own characteristics. Now the business can be even more prosperous.

The two plates of diced chicken were soon empty. The shopkeeper stroked his beard, took Liu Qing and Liu Hong to the back of the counter, and showed them the account of braised pork sold during this period.

They were dazzled by the large number of traditional Chinese characters, which they were really not used to. However, the Qing Dynasty already had Arabic numerals, but now the emperor is still suspicious of them, so it is better not to reveal them. The wisdom of ancient people cannot be underestimated, and the emperor is even more popular among people.

This was related to their future cooperation and their stable income in the future, so the two of them looked at it seriously and made quick calculations in their minds.

In the end, the two of them looked at each other and said the same number in unison, seven hundred and eighty-four, two and thirty-five cents.

The shopkeeper looked at the two of them in surprise. Although they didn't last long, they had a lot of daily turnover. They could actually do the same mental arithmetic as his answer. What a talent! Isn’t the prince in need of such a person?

Liu Hong smiled and asked, "Shopkeeper, how do we think about our brother and sister?"

The shopkeeper clapped his hands and said, "You are amazing. I calculated this number several times before you calculated it. You can calculate it correctly in your mental arithmetic first time. Why doesn't Liu Qing take part in the imperial examination?"

Liu Qing clenched her fists and coughed dryly, "I don't like being an official. I'm not that type. It's better to make money freely. You don't need too much, just enough!"

"Just one is enough. Isn't your ambition too small for a dignified seven-foot man?" Hong Zhou came in from the door and heard Liu Qing's words. He is really a contented person.

"Yes, they are very good. I calculated the profit several times, and they just looked at it for a while and then directly told me the data, which is the same as mine. I also want to report it to my boss in the evening. Here!" The shopkeeper interjected.

His words made Hong Zhou a little surprised. He picked up the account book in his hand and flipped through it. There were indeed ripples in his heart. Judging from all aspects so far, there is nothing unusual about the brother and sister, but it still depends on the emperor whether to use it or not.

More and more people came in to eat, and Hong Zhou took them to the private room upstairs.

After a while, the waiter brought several dishes, including spicy chicken and Kung Pao chicken. "Your Majesty, these two dishes are new today. You can try them."

One of his "princes" made Liu Qing and Liu Hong have to stand up and salute to him in fear.

Hong Zhou looked at the two of them with a smile and gestured for them to sit down. Liu Qing and Liu Hong didn't hesitate, and sat down calmly after thanking them.

Hong Zhou once again exclaimed "good" for their performance. They were neither arrogant nor impetuous, neither humble nor overbearing. They were people who could achieve great things.

He picked up a chopstick of spicy chicken and put it in his mouth, his expression immediately became strange. Liu Hong stared, suppressing her laughter and poured him a glass of cold water. Hong Zhou drank it in one go and quickly ate some other dishes.

Then he put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, "What kind of dish is this? It's quite spicy."

Liu Hong rolled her eyes secretly. If your expression wasn't so funny just now, then I must believe that you can eat spicy food.

"This is spicy chicken, this is Kung Pao chicken, it's not spicy. You can try it, it's delicious."

Hong Zhou picked up the chopsticks and tasted it again. Well, it was indeed delicious. Another chopstick...

At this moment, a burst of singing suddenly came from downstairs:

The moon is dim, the water is full,

My heart is uncertain, the lamp is half bright,

The wind is unstable, the dream is restless,

The drums are broken in the middle of the night, a sad person!

The flowers are haggard and the soul is drunk,

The wine reaches the bottom of my eyes and turns into tears,

I don’t see spring coming, but I see spring coming.

Drinking alcohol for non-dry illness has reduced your waistline!

Wherever I go, my years are wasted,

You can see the tall buildings and distant mountains and trees!

I don’t see the return person, I only see the way back,

The autumn water lasts for a long time, and the clouds fall and the solitary bird flies!

The mountain is thousands of miles away, and there is no way to cross it.

As spring passes and winter comes, trees fall from thousands of mountains,

Send sentimental messages, don’t let them down.

I am willing to turn into poplar flowers and stick with you!

Hong Zhou's lips twitched. Can these lyrics be sung in a restaurant? This is a restaurant, not a liquor store.

Just as he was about to ask someone to come up and ask, he saw brother and sister Liu Qing and Liu Hong looking out the window, looking like they were watching a good show. He also looked over curiously.

A carefree man knocked on the folding fan in his hand and said to the singing girl, "Hey, singing girl, I'll give you money. I like to hear you sing."

The girl had an insulted expression on her face and shed a few tears, but she didn't speak.

A serious man came in with his servant, "Duolong, you bullied another girl again. This girl is so kind and pitiful, how can you bear it!"

The man named Duolong raised his eyes and said, "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be Haozhen Beile from Prince Shuo's Mansion. She comes to the restaurant to sing, and I take money to order the songs. Isn't that too much? I don't know you, Lord Beile. Any insights?"

Haozhen was at a loss for words. He didn't even know what was going on when he walked in. It's just that Duolong, because he was a member of the clan, often behaved outside and bullied men and women. When he saw the girl's appearance, he thought she was being raped. Bullied...

The boy behind him stepped forward, looked at Duolong and said sarcastically, "It turns out to be Duolong Beizi, how can he talk to my Lord Beile?"

Haozhen puffed up his chest in response to the boy's words, and then saw the girl on the stage looking at him lovingly.

Doron wanted to say something else, but an angry shout came from upstairs, "Doron, get up here!"

Duolong tensed up when he heard the familiar voice, and ran upstairs without paying attention to Haozhen.

Haozhen found a seat and sat down, listening to the girl continue singing with a look of enjoyment.

Duolong opened the door with a frustrated look, and immediately smiled brightly when he saw Hong Zhou, "Master, why are you here?"

Liu Qing and Liu Hong looked at his Sichuan opera-like change of expression and sighed in her heart, "He is a joke sent by the monkey, right?"
