Chapter 131 Open a restaurant

"Crown Prince!" Hu Zhishang knocked on Zhao Zhen's table again and said, this was the fifth time he reminded him not to be distracted, and Li Zhang next to him was also helpless. Since he told Zhao Zhen that officials were doing business, Zhao Zhen has been a little unconscious.

"Hu Zhi said, I heard that many relatives of officials from outside are doing business, isn't it true?" Zhao Zhen raised his confused face when he heard the reminder, and then asked Hu Zhi. It was not that he didn't believe in Li Zhang, but that he wanted to confirm whether Hu Zhishou knew about this matter?

"This..." Hu Zhiyao was stunned when he heard Zhao Zhen's words, and then he showed a embarrassed expression. He even looked at Li Zhang next to him, because he knew that except for Li Zhang, other people would definitely not talk nonsense in front of Zhao Zhen.

"Hu Zhi said, is there anyone in your relatives doing business?" Zhao Zhen saw Hu Zhi said indecisively, and actually asked another sharper question.

"Crown Prince... Why did the prince ask this?" Hu Zhishen smiled awkwardly, but his smile was a bit guilty. Although he asked himself that he was honest, he did have relatives doing business outside.

"It's nothing, I'm just curious for a moment." Zhao Zhen said with a gloomy expression when he saw Hu Zhi's expression. He had a little hope in his heart, but when he saw Hu Zhi's, who has always been known for his integrity, he also avoided talking about this issue, he couldn't help but feel even more disappointed. I'm afraid that things are really like Li Zhang said, and there are almost no civil and military officials in the court who are not doing business.

Seeing that Zhao Zhen stopped asking questions, Hu Zhi was relieved and continued to teach them. However, although Zhao Zhen did not stare blankly, he seemed very silent and never said a word from beginning to end.

During lunch, Li Zhang saw that Zhao Zhen was still a little unsteady, so he couldn't help but push the other party with his elbow and said, "What's wrong? You can't accept such a small thing?"

"Is this a trivial matter? In their eyes, the laws of the court have become waste paper. Even Hu Zhi said that officials who are known for their integrity have relatives to do business. How many officials in the court are clean?" Zhao Zhen said with grief and anger at this time. He had never touched these dark sides at all, so he was a little unacceptable for a while.

"The water is clear and there is no fish. This is the world. Black and white are only relative. Of course, there are also truly honest officials, but honest officials may not be good officials, and corrupt officials may not be mediocre. These principles are not something that children of your age should contact, but you are the prince. Even if you cannot understand these principles, you should keep them in your heart as soon as possible!" Li Zhang said earnestly at this time.

"Cousin, why do you say something different from what your teacher taught?" Zhao Zhen became even more confused after hearing Li Zhang's words. This was contrary to the education he received since childhood. Moreover, at a young age, he still couldn't understand the adult world like Li Zhang's words.

"It's normal for you not to understand. Now you are still young, you can learn and experience it slowly in the future. When you get older, you will gradually understand!" Li Zhang patted Zhao Zhen on the shoulder and said, as the only prince of the Song Dynasty and the successor of the throne of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen did carry too many things on his back, and he could not help him share the burden now.

After hearing Li Zhang's words, Zhao Zhen also showed a thoughtful expression. After a while, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "They can do business, and I can do business, cousin, don't you want to do business? I will also invest in the money!"

"Haha~ OK, but don't tell anyone about this. When you make money in the future, I will give you dividends. Then you can also experience the feeling of making money by yourself!" Li Zhang laughed and said again. In fact, his purpose was not to let Zhao Zhen invest in his own business, but to encourage him to do something he hadn't done before, because Zhao Zhen was too obedient and had a cowardly personality. This is not a good thing for an emperor. Now Li Zhang hopes to start from small things and change Zhao Zhen's personality.

After class in the afternoon, Zhao Zhen really took Li Zhang to his bedroom and gave all his family to Li Zhang. It's true that Zhao Zhen's family is quite rich, but most of them are gold, silver and jade, and there are very few real copper coins. In fact, he usually doesn't use money. Most of these gold, silver and jade are gifts he usually receives.

Li Zhang did not take away all Zhao Zhen's family. If so many things were exchanged for money, Li Zhang would not have to pay a penny to start the business, so he finally only took a few horse hoof gold and then counted Zhao Zhen's shareholding.

Li Zhang had Zhao Zhen's gold hidden in his sleeve and left the palace. When he left, he repeatedly told Zhao Zhen not to tell anyone about their business together. The main reason was that he was afraid that when someone knew about it, people would think that he would lead Zhao Zhen to ruin, especially Liu E and those ministers. If this crime was left, Li Zhang would not be able to afford to be guilty. Zhao Zhen also knew the severity, and there was more than one secret between him and Li Zhang, so he patted his chest and promised that he would never tell anyone.

"Brother, you are back. I have found the place. When will you go and see it?" Li Zhang just returned home, and saw Huozi running forward with an excited look on his face. He had completely handed over the business of the braised meat shop to Huozi. Although Huozi is young, he is very ambitious. In addition, the business of the braised meat shop is so good, so he opened two braised meat shops in other places. Now he is even more unwilling to only do braised meat business, but he is eyeing another bigger business.

"Oh, where is the place, what's the location?" Li Zhang couldn't help but ask with a smile when he heard Huozi's words. Huozi was unwilling to do the business of braised pork, so he planned to plan the next restaurant. After all, they can only make small fuss, and opening restaurants can really make a lot of money. For example, famous restaurants like Wanglou can almost be said to make money every day, and others make more money in a day than they make a year.

"It's not far from our house, just on Xijiaolou Street, and not far from Fengfu. I've been observing it for several days. Not only are there many people, but there are also many people eating. The business of several nearby restaurants is good. If we can open the restaurant, we will definitely make a lot of money!" Huozi said excitedly again.

"Cook, man, and all the ingredients needed by the kitchen, have you found?" Li Zhang asked again without any objection. Huozi was very enthusiastic about the restaurant and had been busy with this matter during this period. He even had no time to take care of the braised meat shop. For this reason, the ugly girl had to help him manage the braised meat shop business.

"It's not a problem for me. I have negotiated the supply of ingredients. It's definitely not expensive than other restaurants. It's just that the chef's affairs are not easy to solve. However, I've already found a yaman, and they said that I can help me dig a chef with superb skills soon!" Huozi said excitedly again at this time. The so-called yaman is actually a combination of an intermediary and headhunter. These people are well-informed. As long as you have money, they can help you provide the information you need.

"Okay, I'll leave the restaurant matter to you. As for the place, I'll find some time to check it out. If it's good, rent it out first. After making money in the future, we'll buy our own restaurant!" Li Zhang smiled and encouraged.

"Brother, just wait and count the money!" Huozi said enthusiastically when he heard Li Zhang's encouragement. In the past, Li Zhang's idea was to open a shop, but this time it was his idea to open a restaurant. He was busy from beginning to end, so he also wanted to prove his ability.

"By the way, this is the money that others have invested. He is 10% of his shareholding. You can use the money. If it is not enough, please find the ugly lady to ask for some!" Li Zhang took out the few ingots of horse hooves from his arms and stuffed them into Huozi's hand and said.

"Who wants to invest in our stock?" Huozi asked in confusion after taking Jinzi.

"Don't ask who it is. Anyway, he is a big shot, and he can invest in it, which means he is optimistic about our business, which is a good sign!" Li Zhang said with a smile again.

"What my brother said makes sense, then I'll go and do it. But brother, you can take time to check it out as soon as possible. I want to open the restaurant tomorrow!" Huozi said excitedly again when he heard Li Zhang's words. After saying that, he turned around and left. Opening a restaurant is not an easy task. There are so many things that need to be taken care of. Today he finally took time to come to Li Zhang.

Looking at Huozi's departure back, the smile on Li Zhang's face gradually calmed down, and finally shook his head helplessly. In fact, he didn't believe that Huozi could make money by opening a restaurant. Not to mention whether he had any experience, whether a restaurant could succeed was at least half of the food. However, Huozi has not even found the chef, and there is no choice for the dishes except braised meat. The dishes have not been decided, so the positioning of the restaurant is unclear. It can be said that Huozi's plan is full of loopholes. If such a restaurant does not lose money, it would be strange.

However, although he knew that he would lose money, Li Zhang did not stop him when he saw Huozi's enthusiasm so high. Instead, he tried his best to support him because he knew that failure was not scary. A fledgling young man like Huozi, it was not a bad thing to suffer more losses. Moreover, he also made a plan to remedy in secret. Even if the restaurant first lost money, he had a way to turn the restaurant into profits.

After dinner, Li Zhang was about to continue dismantling the hard disk and sorting out the information, but unexpectedly, Hu Yan Shouxin came to visit again, so Li Zhang had to give up the idea of ​​going back to the room and then came to the living room alone.

"Brother Li, didn't you say that you asked me to keep the land on the Wild Duck Beach last time, and said it was of great use? I wonder what it was?" Hu Yan Shouxin saw Li Zhang coming in and immediately asked straight to the point.
