After the fifteenth day, the days seemed to speed up, and it entered February in a blink of an eye.

In the evening, Chu Zhaoling, who had returned to the mansion, sat in the study as usual, waiting for the "fooling" Shen Gu to come back for dinner.

After a stick of incense, there were footsteps at the door.

Everyone's footsteps sound different.Chu Zhaoling was the master who recognized the footsteps almost instantly.

Soon, the study door was pushed open, and Shen Gu walked in with a square box in his arms, put it on the table, and patted the lid: "Guess what it is?"

Chu Zhaoling glanced: "Eat."

"No, guess again!"

"For play."

Shen Gu: "..."

I will eat, drink and have fun together, right?shallow!

Shen Gu directly opened the box.Broken silver and copper coins were mixed together, filling a box full.Pushing the box forward: "These are earned by the restaurant, here you are."

"I don't want it, you can keep it." Chu Zhaoling was not short of the money, not to mention that it was earned by Shen Gu himself, so he couldn't take it.

"I also have a box. We each have a box. If you give me the deed, you should share half of the money you earn. Besides, this is the first time in my life that I have made money. It is called the first pot of gold, and I must share it with important people." .”

The last sentence made Chu Zhaoling uncontrollably open his eyebrows: "Only take it this time, and you don't need to give it next time. The house deed is still on hold, and it can still be used for you if you give it to you."

Shen Gu readily agreed: "Okay!"

The next day, Forber checked the account books as usual.

"Forbe." A familiar voice came.

Uncle Fu raised his head, his expression immediately became sad: "My lord, there is really nothing valuable in the mansion."

500 taels of gold, house deed, jade pendant, and gold brave.For a pen and a pen, Fu Bo can remember clearly.Putting these things together, many people will not be able to earn in their entire lives.In the end, they were all given away by the prince!

Chu Zhaoling hugged the box, and quickly explained: "I don't take it, I give it away."

With that said, he put the box on the table and opened the lid.

The Wang's family has a big business, and every time they receive or withdraw money, at least a hundred taels of silver is used as a base. Uncle Fu looks down on such small money.Then I thought about it again, how did the prince get these odds and ends of money.

Uncle Fu's brain circuit was clear: "My lord... have you been begging?"

"..." Chu Zhaoling, "The restaurant earns half of what I earn."

Uncle Fu understood: the restaurant opened by the emperor has made money.

By this standard, quite a few.

but……

Fu Bo glanced at the prince who was obviously very happy, and swallowed his words silently.

Isn't this just exchanging watermelon for sesame seeds?Put in so many things, just exchange for a box of change, this business lost money.The prince is still so happy.

Chu Zhaoling didn't care what Uncle Fu thought, he was very interested: "Count it up and put it in the account."

Uncle Fu followed suit, sorting out the broken silver and copper plates first, then took out the small scale, and weighed the broken silver on it.After the weight and the rope were balanced, Fu Bo looked at the scale on the scale beam and exclaimed, "There are actually 50 taels!"

It only took 50 month to make [-] taels of silver, what a good business!

Chu Zhaoling felt even happier: "This is only half."

Forbe was even more surprised.

An ordinary family's monthly income of two or three taels of silver is already a high income.The restaurant has only been open for a month, and they just made 100 taels of silver? !

Chu Zhaoling picked up a piece of broken silver: "It's not good to be an emperor, but he is very good at doing business."

No wonder they are clamoring to open a restaurant, it's really not just a joke.

After earning so much money in the first month, Shen Gu was naturally so excited that he couldn't sleep, he dragged Chu Zhaoling and chatted all night.

According to Shen Gu's words, the rich sons and brothers he had befriended before could not be credited for earning so much money.I am addicted to eating hot pot, so I come here every few days.He is not relentless in ordering dishes, and can spend one tael of silver at a time.

He also said that once other restaurants find that hot pot makes money, they will also sell it, and the customers will be separated.So this advantage will not last long.

In short, said a lot.

It was rare for Chu Zhaoling to see Shen Gu seriously thinking and planning.

Maybe, he really found something he likes.

Seeing that Uncle Fu had finished weighing the broken silver, Chu Zhaoling put them into the box again, covered it and picked it up: "Enter it in the account."

After saying that, he carried the box and left, leaving only a large pile of copper coins on the table.

Fu Bo with a confused face:? ? ?

It's OK to enter the account, but keep the money!

Unaware that the impression he left on Uncle Fu had changed, Shen Gu went straight to the restaurant after getting up.

There are many customers in the store, and there are almost no empty tables as far as the eye can see.Shen Gu smiled happily and quietly entered the back kitchen.

The chef and the kitchen helper were too busy to open a bill, Shen Gu looked around and said, "How happy is it?"

The waiter who came to the back kitchen to serve the dishes took the time to reply: "I went out to buy ingredients with the handyman."

Shen understood the reason, walked to the empty stove, and began to roll up his sleeves.

The chef next to him saw it and immediately said: "Young master, tell me what you want to eat, and I will cook it. The kitchen is full of oily smoke, so you should go out quickly."

Shen Gu explained: "I'm not hungry. I just want to research new dishes."

After staring at the stove for a long time, Shen Gu didn't think of any new dishes, and his expression was solemn.

His cooking skills were learned slowly after his grandfather was forced to live alone. He only knows some home-cooked dishes, and he really can't think of anything new.

As if he had guessed what Shen Gu was thinking, the chef said slowly: "My lord, you don't have to worry. Even if other restaurants will have hot pot in the future, our restaurant will always be the first one. Preconceived impressions are very important. As long as you keep it, the business should be fine." would be too bad."

"And I think since hot pot is so popular, why not make it fine and well."

Shen Gu was taken aback, and blinked at him.

Realizing the slip of the tongue, the other party quickly lowered his head: "I... I'm just talking casually."

"You're right!" Shen Gu's eyes brightened, "I know what to do now!"

Shen Gu went up to the third floor and entered the innermost private room.

He reserved this room for himself as a study.In order to be like that, Shen Gu specially wrote two calligraphy scrolls and hung them on both sides of the door.

On the left: the source of customers is booming!

On the right: Every day makes money!

What an unpretentious wish.

Sitting in front of the table, Shen Gu picked up a brush and drew a few pots on the paper. After the ink dries, he folded it up and put it in his arms, and set off for the blacksmith shop where he made the copper hot pot last time.

When you get there, show the blueprint to the boss: "Can you do it?"

"Yes." The blacksmith shop owner readily agreed, "Or use brass?"

Shen Gu nodded.

There was no stainless steel in ancient times, and the only suitable one was brass.

After paying the deposit, Shen Gu left the blacksmith shop.On the way back to the restaurant, I met another man picking up baskets.

The man was walking forward in a hurry. Judging by the shaking of the bamboo basket, it should be empty.

For some reason, Shen Gu felt that there was something wrong with this basket.Strong intuition prompted Shen Gu to step up without hesitation.

If there is a problem, just follow the vine, and you may be able to find the lair of illegal salt sales.If there is no problem... just take a walk to exercise your body.

The street was bustling with pedestrians, Shen Gu followed him at a distance of nearly ten meters, so it was not easy to be spotted.After following for about half an hour, the man left the main street and turned into an alley.

Shen Gu stood at the entrance of the alley, bit his lip, and continued to follow.

After entering the alley, there are people around, and the number of people gradually decreases.And the man kept going.

It was the first time for Shen Gu to do this kind of thing, his eyes locked tightly on the man in front, for fear that the man would turn his head suddenly.While wanting to retreat, continue to follow tremblingly.

Seeing that it was getting more and more remote, Shen Gu's patience was worn out a little bit, and the other party finally entered a door.

Shen Gu moved his gaze upwards and landed on the door plaque.There are two large characters written on it - Yizhuang.

Who would carry the basket and run to Yizhuang in a decent manner? !

There are usually ghosts in here!

If you run away, the monk can't run away from the temple.He will go to Chu Zhaoling and ask him to send someone to search here!

Turning his face away, a man stood behind him at some point.Tall, with a scar on his face, he was staring at Shen Gu unkindly.

The air froze for a moment.

"Woooo~" Shen Gu suddenly covered his face and howled, "Father! Why did you just leave like this! What will Liuer do if he is alone in this world! There is no way to live!"

After crying, I still don't forget to interact with the other party: "Big brother, are you here to buy a coffin too?"

"Yeah." There was a sneering sneer on the corner of the scar man's mouth, "It just so happens that we go in together."

Did not fool around.

"No, I don't think they sell coffins here."

Shen Gu ran while talking, the man with the scar quickly caught him, and pressed the cold dagger against Shen Gu's neck: "If you don't want to die, come in with me."

With the knife resting on his neck, Shen Gu suddenly calmed down, calmed down, and continued to fool around: "I really came to buy a coffin for my father. His old man is still waiting to be buried. It is not good to delay the auspicious time."

The man with the scar was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, and the strength in his hands became heavier: "Don't talk nonsense! Let's go!"

Shen Gu was forced to follow him into Yizhuang.

There is not a single coffin in Yizhuang, it is full of salt, scattered on straw mats.There are no less than ten young porters filling the bamboo baskets with salt. Half of the baskets are filled, and the remaining space is filled with vegetables, such as potatoes or carrots, and finally covered with a white cloth.

It was exactly the same as what Shen Gu saw in the restaurant before.

In addition, there are four guards in the courtyard.

The man with the scar seems to be the leader here, interrogating Shen Gu: "Who sent you here?"

Shen Gu didn't show it on the face, but his brain was spinning fast.

You must never admit that you are investigating the private salt matter, or you will be silenced.There may be a chance of life for pretending to be stupid.

Those who dare to sell private salt are the masters who put their heads on their belts, and they are not afraid of killing people.

Shen Gu pretended to be helpless and sighed: "My father is dead. It is not a matter of course for my son to buy a coffin to bury him. Who sent me here? I don't understand."

The man with the scar wiped the dagger with a white cloth: "If you don't tell the truth, believe it or not, your ears will be cut off!"

Shen Gu did not hesitate: "Believe it!"

Immediately, he broke the can and said, "But I really don't know what to say."

The man with the scar was aggressive: "Didn't you buy a coffin? Why didn't you come in? Why did you run away when you saw me?"

"I saw the old plaque on it from afar, with cracks, and thought that coffins were no longer sold here, so I didn't waste time to come in." Shen Gu's mind was not so flexible, "You look so scary, Someone else has to run."

The man with the scar fell silent, not sure if he believed it or not.

"Boss, I think he broke in by mistake, he doesn't look like an official." One of the guards said, "All the officers have sharp mouths and monkey cheeks, and they are not as juicy as him."

Hearing this, Shen Gu wished to give him a knock: You are right!Quickly convince you to let me go!

The man with the scar didn't let go: "Then we can't let him go!"

If you catch them all, there is no reason to let them go.

The guard looked around at Shen Gu, and let out a wicked laugh: "I think he's pretty, why don't you send him there."

The man with the scar was silent for a while, then gave the guard a look.

There was no chance for Shen Gu to resist at all, his mouth and nose were covered suddenly, and the drug was inhaled into the nasal cavity, Shen Gu passed out.
