Chapter 7 Make the Best Use of Everything
When Xie Changshi arrived, Gu Yuzhi was standing on tiptoe looking downstairs. It was already dark now, and lanterns were lit in front of each shop. Different from the hustle and bustle of the day, there was beauty in the night.

He looked at it very seriously, and it was not until he heard Xie Changshi's voice that he turned around, climbed onto the chair with his short legs, pointed at the chair in front of him and said, "Xie Changshi, sit down quickly."

Xie Changshi bowed first and then sat down: "I wonder what your highness is calling me for?"

Gu Yuzhi was a little embarrassed and made a sign with his index finger on his little finger: "Xie Changshi, I have a small idea. I want to do a small business. After all, I can't always rely on the emperor's help."

Xie Changshi was stunned for a moment, then suppressed his surprise: "Why would His Highness have such an idea?"

Gu Yuzhi scratched his head. He couldn't say that he had any system now. He said a little aggrievedly: "These two days, I have eaten in either an inn or a restaurant. I don't like it very much. When I ate the white fungus soup made by Grandma Xu before, I I want to open my own restaurant so that I don’t have to worry about finding delicious food when I go out to play.”

Xie Changshi thought that King Wen was very smart for asking the emperor for money and renting a house first and then looking for a fiefdom, but he didn't expect that he was still thinking about doing business...

Thinking of his visit to Changzhou Mansion this afternoon, Xie Changshi understood instantly and was filled with emotion in his heart. His Highness Wen Wang’s intelligence is rare in the world. It’s no wonder that the emperor would go against all opinions and send him to Mobei.

But His Highness's reason for doing business...

Xie Changshi smiled secretly, it was indeed a child's idea.

At this moment, Xie Changshi put away the deepest dissatisfaction in his heart and decided to assist King Wen wholeheartedly: "I think that Changzhou Prefecture is the largest city in Mobei and there are quite few restaurants. Your Highness's idea is right. of."

After hearing that Xie Changshi agreed with this idea, Gu Yuzhi put away his aggrieved expression and his eyes were bright.

Xie Changshi continued: "But has His Highness ever thought that the restaurant needs a manager who can manage things, and a waiter who is agile and discerning? Of course, these can be found in Changzhou, but a chef that His Highness can be satisfied with? Has His Highness ever thought about it? Where did you go to look for it?”

Gu Yuzhi was still silently thinking that if the emperor's brother and his wife could give him more money this time, his small business might become a big business. When he heard this, he frowned.

He held his chin and thought to himself, where should I find this chef?
Shu Xiaohan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised her hand, as if I had something to say: "Little prince, little prince."

Gu Yuzhi asked silently: "Teacher Shu, what's wrong?"

"Aunt Xu you mentioned before, is her craftsmanship very good?"

Gu Yuzhi nodded repeatedly, his tone full of pride: "Of course! Aunt Xu comes from a family with an imperial kitchen. My mother-in-law said that the previous dynasty was overthrown, the Xu family was defeated, and Aunt Xu's family was sold into slavery. Aunt Xu took my mother with her. Concubine, I later followed my mother-in-law into the palace and was in charge of the small kitchen in the palace. Since I can remember, I have often eaten the meals cooked by Grandma Xu."

So as soon as the white fungus soup was served, he knew that it was made by Grandma Xu.

When he thought of this, Gu Yuzhi's eyes dimmed. Even before Nanny Xu recovered, she was already thinking about making meals for him...

Shu Xiaohan looked surprised: "Since the young prince wants to open a restaurant with Beijing cuisine in Changzhou, and Aunt Xu is so good at cooking, why not let Aunt Xu be the chef?"

Wen Xiuzhu looked stern and scolded: "This is nonsense!"

"What nonsense?" Shu Xiaohan immediately retorted, "Isn't Aunt Xu a ready-made chef? The young prince grew up in the palace. What kind of delicacies have he never tasted? How can he like the meals prepared by Aunt Xu so much? No. Does this prove Nanny Xu’s ability?”

She clapped her hands: "We have to make the best use of everything! The chef is one of our own, so we save part of the cost. Of course, in order not to let Aunt Xu feel cold, His Highness can improve her treatment. After all, we have to When the horse is running, you have to feed the horse, right?" She doesn't know much about business, but she understands that high salary is one of the essential conditions for retaining talents.

People can only talk about feelings after their lives have improved.

Wen Xiuzhu was so angry that he opened his fan and said, "Aunt Xu is a female, how can she be a chef?"

"What?" Shu Xiaohan plucked her ears, with a look of disbelief on her face, "What's wrong with women? You were born of a woman, why do you look down on women?"

Wen Xiuzhu sneered: "If Nanny Xu becomes a chef, then the restaurant business will not be good! Don't say that I look down on women, after all, no restaurant chef is a woman!"

The two of them started arguing again. Gu Yuzhi patted his forehead lightly and shouted in his heart: "Stop arguing!"

Wen Xiuzhu snorted, put away his folding fan, turned his back to Shu Xiaohan, and seemed to refuse to talk.

His mind was quiet, Gu Yuzhi sighed like a little adult, rolled his big round eyes, and turned to look at Xie Changshi: "Xie Changshi, the meals cooked by Aunt Xu are very delicious, let her make them bigger How is the kitchen?"

Even though Grandma Xu's family is not here, if all the Xu family come over, the restaurant business will definitely be very good.

Gu Yuzhi is so confident in Nanny Xu’s craftsmanship!

Aunt Xu?
Xie Changshi hesitated for a moment and said, "There may be something wrong with Grandma Xu's identity."

Wen Xiuzhu smiled proudly at Shu Xiaohan: "I have said before that a woman cannot be a chef."

Shu Xiaohan was furious, but couldn't argue. After all, future generations would inevitably discriminate against women, let alone feudal ancient times.

Hearing Wen Xiuzhu's words, Gu Yuzhi's eyes darkened. He thought that Xie Changshi and Wen Xiuzhu had the same idea, and asked in confusion: "Is it because Grandma Gu is a woman that she can't be a chef? But Grandma Gu is in the palace. She’s also the grandma in charge.”

The mother-in-law once said that Grandma Gu is not only good at craftsmanship, but also very good at handling things in the palace, but just because she is a woman, she cannot be a chef?
Gu Yuzhi felt something was wrong, but couldn't explain why, so he had to wait aggrievedly for Xie Changshi to answer his questions.

Xie Changshi smiled and said: "It's not just that. First of all, Aunt Xu is the official in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and a palace official with status. Even if you don't have to consider these things, has your Highness ever thought about Aunt Xu herself? Do you want to be a chef?"

Gu Yuzhi pouted in frustration.

Seeing him like this, Xie Changshi said patiently: "However, Your Highness can discuss it with Aunt Xu. If Aunt Xu is willing, she must make it clear to her that a woman being a chef may be intolerable in the world, and Aunt Xu has to endure a lot. Misunderstanding. If Aunt Xu is unwilling, Your Highness cannot force her to do so."

Gu Yuzhi then nodded and said with a hint of obedience: "I know Xie Changshi. But if grandma is not willing, can I ask her to teach me? After all, the food cooked by grandma is really delicious." Well."

Looking at his little appearance, Xie Changshi smiled and nodded: "Of course it's okay."
