The entrance of the restaurant was even more chaotic than when Qian Yuan left. Originally, it was just officials and wealthy businessmen in Beijing from all over the southeast. Qian Yuan asked the people in Suiyuan to eat and drink.

But after all, it is Lantern Festival tonight, and there are fewer people going out to enjoy the lanterns than in previous years, but there are still much more than usual.

Qian Yuan, who was running back all the way, had to set up a parking lot next to him when he saw this scene.

Outside the door, there were sedan chairs, carriages, and waiters and servants everywhere.

Qian Yuan did not walk through the main entrance, but walked around the corner and entered through the side door behind. He was stopped and questioned after a few steps. This man was embroidered with a spring knife on his waist and hips, and he was a Jinyiwei School.

"Mr. Qian, hurry up, I've been waiting for a while." Feng Bao came out to pick him up.

"Hey, Lao Feng, is that person really here?" Qian Yuan snatched Yang Wen's water bag without changing his face, and touched the corner of his forehead with water.

"Oh, you still have this idea!"

"What's the hurry... don't pull it, don't pull it, go by yourself." Qian Yuan threw the water bag over and put it on Feng Bao's shoulder. "Old Feng, I haven't thanked you for what happened last time. I'll let someone get some delicious food to block you later."

"Eunuch Huang was just last time." Feng Bao smiled and said, "Otherwise, where would our family have the courage to sell the military horses from the Imperial Horse Supervision to you?"

Horses in the north are relatively high and have a strong temperament. Qian Yuan’s half-baked riding skills are really not enough. Later, he bought a horse from the Royal Horse Supervision privately. They were all trained and very docile.

As soon as he entered the door, Qian Yuan was stunned, and he was sweating profusely. Lu Bing and Huang Jin were also sweating profusely. From time to time, he picked up wet wipes to wipe his forehead. However, Emperor Jiajing was nothing unusual.

"Students meet..."

"Okay, okay, get up, it's not in Xiyuan." Emperor Jiajing pointed to the seasoning box on the table, "What is that red?"

"Your Majesty, that's chili." Qian Yuan replied carefully: "It's quite spicy."

"hot?"

"It's a spice, it's coming from overseas."

"Your Majesty, it's better not to eat it." Huang Jin gasped in a small mouth, "This is not a spice, it's burning in his mouth..."

"But it's very satisfying." Lu Bing muttered, then wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Qian Yuan's mouth twitched when he saw it. These three are fools, are they?!

Anyone who eats hot pot like this?

The vegetables and meat I put in were cooked and I didn’t eat them, but I almost ate all the seasonings!

This is still chili oil, can it not be spicy?!

Qian Yuan took a small bowl, skillfully seasoned, some chopped green onion, some sesame paste, light soy sauce, some chili, and finally a few drops of sesame oil, and mixed it with chopsticks.

I picked up a piece of lamb meat and put it in a boiling pot. After changing color, I put it in a bowl and dipped it in some seasonings. Then I put it in my mouth and chewed it.

"Oh, so that's how you eat it." Huang Jin suddenly realized.

Lu Bing said without changing his face: "I am trying it for Your Majesty, after all, it is not in the palace."

Very thick-skinned!

Qian Yuan introduced various seasonings one by one, and then took out the old vegetables in the pot, allowing people to change them to new dishes.

"This is a tripe... seven up and eight down... put it down and count seven numbers. OK, okay, pick it up... This must be spicy to taste."

After knowing how to eat it, Emperor Jiajing's performance was no better than Lu Bing and Huang Jin. "It's not easy to eat some hot dishes in winter."

Qian Yuan, who ate imperial meals on the first day he entered Beijing, nodded repeatedly, "The vegetables and meat are all fresh, and the pot is chicken soup... Your Majesty has no worries to eat."

"It was the time when the student got the banquet that His Majesty gave him the banquet," Qian Yuan picked up a black ear and smiled, "That is, in the north, if you are in the southeast and get some lake and seafood, that's great."

"Ha, ha, ha..." Huang Jin asked with his tongue: "Where did Zhan Cai go? Commander Lu can't find anyone."

"Hi, it's Lantern Festival tonight, the moon rises to the willows, and people make an appointment after dusk..."

"Hahaha..." The other three laughed out loud at the same time.

Lu Bing forwarded the previous sentence to Qian Yuan, "Zhancai, don't look at Eunuch Huang laughing, look back and be careful of his bad behavior behind his back."

Seeing Qian Yuan’s grievance, Emperor Jiajing laughed and scolded: “How old are you, you bully the children.”

Putting down the chopsticks, Emperor Jiajing pointed at Qian Yuan, "Since that's the case, can you meet a good marriage?"

Qian Yuan was stunned and said seriously: "Your Majesty, students choose their wives and do not care about the background of the family. Ruru... Rururu's elders... I will ask Your Majesty at that time..."

"Okay, I will be a matchmaker for you after I eat your meal." Emperor Jiajing said casually: "I heard that your restaurant is extremely expensive. Although everyone applauds when eating, they will curse when they go out?"

"It's really not the students." Qian Yuan complained: "Fortunately the students are wandering around the kitchen. They think that food should be the same as everyone else in the world, but the family only has so much manpower, so they have to set the price higher so that they won't be too busy. That little money... the students really don't care."

"It's really a perfect tongue." Lu Bing sighed: "So, Zhan Cai, are you doing good deeds?"

Jiajing snorted and pointed at the pepper, "This pepper..."

"Your Majesty!" Qian Yuan had a bitter face, "This restaurant relies on this pepper seasoning, once it spreads..."

"Once it spreads, the restaurant will not make any money." Huang Jin finished his words, which made Lu Bing lower his head and laugh.

"I really lose my money!"

"Your Majesty, the student is making money with great integrity. Thirty taxes will be settled in that month and will never be deducted."

Lu Bing and Huang Jin were both surprised. Is this guy stupid?

In this era, there was a Jinshi who was behind the scenes, and basically no tax was required. Qian Yuan's uncle was a Jinshi and he was also a Juren, and he was even thinking about paying taxes.

Qian Yuan doesn't care. He went to business in his previous life mainly to do foreign trade. The high tariffs made people vomit blood. Thirty taxes were one, so what was the difference between this and not paying it.

Even the look of Emperor Jiajing looked at him was a little wrong. He suddenly remembered that the Earth Dragon turned over before he met the Saint. Qian Yuan seemed to talk about this question vaguely, and he was thinking about resetting the Maritime Bureau...

Emperor Jiajing was about to understand, but suddenly he heard someone shouting not far away, and the guards guarded outside shouted loudly.

A moment later, Feng Bao walked in shorter and reported: "A man came in from the back door and said he was here to find Qian Juren."

"Oh, Your Majesty, Suiyuan is connected to the back door. It should be Xu Wei, a friend of the student." Qian Yuan looked at Emperor Jiajing carefully, "This person is from Shaoxing. Last year, he was Jie Yuan in Zhejiang Provincial Examination."

"I know this person." Lu Bing took over the conversation, "Last year, the Qian family guards and the wolf clay soldiers chased the Japanese pirates for thousands of miles, which was Xu Wei."

Emperor Jiajing glanced at Qian Yuan and frowned and said, "Isn't it your guard?"

"Everyone is a martial artist." Qian Yuan said frankly: "Xu Wenchang is famous all over the world for his calligraphy and painting, but he is well-versed in military strategies. Later, he entered Hu Ruzhen's curtain."

Emperor Jiajing nodded, with no expression on his face.

Qian Yuan was a little unwilling to give up. Such a coincidence would never be wasted. He thought about it and said, "It is really shameful to say that the students are really sorry. It is reported that the palace examination three years ago, His Majesty gave the Qing Ci."

"Students were not satisfied with the simple trial writing several times, but Xu Wenchang was quite good at this. So this afternoon, I asked him to help draft a few green poems..."

"You are very cunning." Emperor Jiajing snorted, "Then let's see you."

Qian Yuan knew that the emperor was meticulous and could only go out with a dry smile.

But after just one stick of incense, Qian Yuan became a little unhappy.
