Chapter 648 Fireworks in the Emperor's Ears

Inside Qingfeng Baozi Shop, there are more than fifty tables of customers in the lobby on the first floor. Together with the seats on the second floor, it can accommodate a hundred tables of customers at a time.

This scale, even in a big city like Chang'an, is considered one of the best.

"I heard that Sanwei Bookstore has released a new book, written by a down-and-out scholar from the south of the Yangtze River. There are many descriptions of the girls in Pingkangfang. It was very interesting to read."

"You're talking about "Pingkang's Past", right? The writing is quite subtle, otherwise Sanwei Bookstore wouldn't dare to put it up there and sell it openly. If you want to read exciting books, I'll tell you a good place..."

The guests sitting at the table behind Li Shimin looked like they were young students from some academy. They looked polite, but when they were chatting in private, they were completely different.

Li Shimin smiled slightly and turned his attention to the people at the table next to him.

Judging by their clothes, the two people at this table must be businessmen.

"Brother Liu, I heard that you are planning to invest in a workshop to make bicycle wheels? Have you already received an order from a permanent bicycle workshop?"

"The parts have not been taken out, how can I get an order directly? Only if the sample has passed the verification of the permanent bicycle workshop laboratory, can I get the order. However, I have already contacted shopkeeper Wang, and he promised to give me the bicycle

If the wheel test passes and the quotation is advantageous, you can place a partial order for me."

"Shopkeeper Wang has already said so, so Brother Liu, your business must be stable. Now that bicycles are so popular, you said that if I set up a workshop specifically to make seat cushions, do you think there is a future?"

"Okay, I think there is no problem at all. When I had dinner with Shopkeeper Wang last time, he already revealed that Forever Bicycle Workshop hopes to outsource most of the non-core parts to other workshops. And Forever Bicycle Workshop now also

Not only is there only one model, but the sales are also getting better day by day. If you really have this idea, I can find an opportunity to ask Shopkeeper Wang for his opinion."

"That's great, Brother Liu, I'll be your host another day and we'll have a nice drink at Ajinomoto."

Li Shimin listened to the conversation of the guests at the table next to him and gained a deeper understanding of the popular scene of bicycles in Datang.

"Aye, this time I was admitted to Guanshishan Academy in advance. I will not embarrass my family."

To the right of Li Shimin, it was obvious that a family of three were out for dinner.

Judging from their clothes, they probably don't come from a wealthy family.

However, those who are willing to come to Qingfeng Baozi Shop to eat are obviously not considered the lowest class of people in Chang'an City.

"Da Lang, I have heard that the Chemistry Academy is the newest one established by Guanshishan Academy. It is highly valued by His Royal Highness the King of Chu and has more opportunities than ordinary academies. They actually waived all your fees.

Once you enter the academy, you will have to listen to instructions on everything."

"Aye, don't worry. Since I was a child, when have I ever gotten into trouble?"

"You have the nerve to say that! Who peeked at Widow Zhang taking a bath next door? Who went to Pingkangfang alone, saying that she wanted to see the lives of some wealthy people?"

"Aye, that's all in the past. Why are you bringing this up? As for you, don't work too hard. Although the wages in the workshop are high, don't always take the initiative to work overtime. Obviously there are two hours a month.

I have never seen you fully enjoy a day off. If today was not to celebrate my early admission to Guanshishan Academy, you would not be willing to take a day off, right?"

"As long as you talk a lot, I have my own arrangements."

Listening to these very daily conversations, Li Shimin couldn't help but think of his sons.

Nowadays, half of my troubles come from the overt and covert fighting between Li Chengqian and Li Tai.

Although I have warned many times, it has no effect.

What a headache.

Unlike other people, although their income does not seem to be high, the life of a family of three is very warm.

"Brother Chen, this time I went to sea and it seems that I came back earlier than usual."

"That's right, now that we are familiar with the sea routes and using the latest sea ships, the speed is naturally much faster. From now on, going to Nanyang will not be a scary thing. If you really want to go to sea, you have to go to Australia or

Western, that’s the challenge.”

Just as Li Shimin was sighing in his heart, the sound of several people talking at the table in front of him came to his ears.

These dark, muscular men seem to be people who have been making a living at sea all year round.

"In the past few years, I have saved some money. I want to take it all out and see if I can find a few people to buy a seagoing boat together, and we can go on a trip to the West. As long as we are lucky, we can just go there.

Developed.”

"Huh? This is a good idea! Although I go to sea for others and the salary is very generous, it is not as satisfying as being my own boss."

The conversation between several sailors preparing to go it alone reminded Li Shimin of the increasing number of small workshops and vendors in Chang'an City.

I don’t know when the people of Chang’an City began to be interested in opening a small workshop.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, the things they deal with are often only a small part of it, but the business is generally pretty good.

Along the way, Li Shimin saw with his own eyes many shops that were very small but had good business.

This is quite different from the scene I saw in the West Market a few years ago.

"Pork and cabbage buns, mutton and green onion buns, pickled vegetables and winter bamboo shoots buns, as well as soy milk, fried dough sticks, and tofu. Sir, all the snacks you want are here. Please use them slowly."

The two waiters each held a dining table and brought what Li Shimin and his party wanted.

From sitting down to serving the food, it takes less than five minutes. This speed is definitely fast.

You know, the shop is almost full of people now, and business is extremely booming.

Li Shimin thought it would take a long time.

It seems that Qingfeng Steamed Bun Shop still has some connotations.

"Try how these things taste."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he was not polite. He directly picked up a pork and cabbage bun, opened his mouth and took a bite.

"Yeah, delicious!"

"Lang Jun, this tofu brain seems to taste very good."

“The fried dough sticks are also okay.”

After a while, Li Zhong and Li Junxian could no longer remain reserved, and were attacked by a few inconspicuous eaters.

"You can create such a novel food, but it tastes so good. Li Zhong, go check it out later and see what relationship this store has with Kuan'er."

If Li Shimin wasn't sure just now, now he can almost conclude that this shop must have something to do with Li Kuan.
