Li Fugui saw that I was angry and didn't understand. He immediately said,"Eunuch Gui, please calm down.”"Li Fugui, how dare you!" I shouted. Do you not want your life anymore?”
Li Fugui knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. I continued,"Look at what you have written in your notebook.”Li Fugui quickly picked up the book and flipped through it quickly. However, he couldn't figure out what was wrong for a moment, and he seemed to have regained his courage. "What do you mean, sir?" he asked.”"What dishes did you ask the chefs to serve?" I asked.”Li Fugui carefully looked at the book again and finally understood what I meant. His face turned pale in an instant and he cried,"Eunuch Gui, please spare my life! Eunuch Gui, please spare my life! This servant really doesn't know. It's all these damn chefs who broke the law in order to please Eunuch Gui.”Seeing that the time was right, my expression eased. I found a seat and sat down. I crossed my legs and said,"Fortunately, you didn't cook these dishes. I shouldn't blame you.”
Li Fugui heaved a sigh of relief. He got up and ran to my side. He took out a dozen silver notes from his sleeve and stuffed them into my hand."Eunuch Gui, we servants have been serving our master all day long and never dare to slack off. When everyone knew that Eunuch Gui had come to our imperial kitchen, they were extremely happy. In a moment of confusion, they committed a taboo.”
I flipped through the silver notes in my hand and estimated that there were about four to five thousand taels."Hero Jin wrote that you gave Wei Xiaobao money on his first day in office. I've been here for so long, but I haven't seen any movement from you. If I didn't catch you by the tail, I'm afraid you'd have to pretend to be stupid for a long time.”
I stuffed the banknote back into his hand and said,"How can such a big matter be hidden? It's not even certain if you can protect yourself.”Li Fugui was anxious. He stuffed the banknote back into my hand and said,"Please save our lives no matter what.”I nodded and pondered for a moment."It's not too difficult to keep these royal chefs who have committed crimes alive. However, we definitely can't keep them in the palace anymore. If we chase them out of the palace, we're afraid that they'll talk nonsense outside and leak news. How about this? I'll bear more responsibility and find a place to settle them. I'll just say that these imperial chefs made a mistake and were fired back to their hometown. Naturally, this matter would be reduced to a small matter.”Li Fugui was obviously worried about my arrangements, but since I was willing to take responsibility, he would naturally be much safer. He was extremely happy and thanked me without stopping.
I smiled as I stood up and patted his shoulder."I took a huge risk for your brother. In the future, you have to be careful and don't cause any more trouble for me.”Li Fugui hurriedly said,"Eunuch Gong is so concerned about this lowly one, this lowly one will definitely repay Eunuch Gong's great kindness with death."”
The two of us went out of the room. Li Fugui pointed out the chefs who had committed crimes according to the book and dismissed the rest. Those who had not been named were relaxed and dispersed in the blink of an eye. The remaining forty people in the courtyard were all trembling with fear as they looked at Li Fugui and me. I shouted,"Take them all."”Immediately, more than 20 burly men pounced forward. The chefs were scared out of their wits. They all knelt on the ground and wailed. I waved my hand to stop the warriors and said to Li Fugui,"Tell them." He turned around and entered the room.
After a while, Li Fugui ran in and said,"Eunuch Gui, I've told everyone. They all said that you have a heart of Buddha and saved everyone's lives.”I was overjoyed and went out to call a warrior. Just as I was about to arrange for the imperial chef to leave the palace, the eunuch beside the emperor, Li Dequan, ran in and shouted when he saw me,"Eunuch Li, the emperor is anxious to see you.”I was shocked. Seeing that it was getting late, I didn't know what Kang Xi wanted me to do. He couldn't care less about this mess and followed Li Dequan out.
Li Dequan led me to the south study. Kang Xi was reading a book while shaking his head. When he saw me come in, he waved for me to sit down and said,"Xiaoguizi, accompany me for dinner later. Let's talk.”I've already chatted with him for almost two hours in the morning. I don't know what he wants to talk to me about so late at night.
"Pass the meal to me," Kang Xi said to Li Dequan.”Li Dequan retreated with a thud. I thought to myself that I had just made a mess of the imperial kitchen. I'm afraid I won't be able to make anything decent in a short time. I don't want Kangxi to notice. My heart was beating fast, but I still had a smile on my face."Little Xuan, did you learn a new martial art? You want to try it out with me? Don't waste your energy. No matter what you learn, you won't be my opponent.”Kang Xi spat." You're so powerful. When have you ever won in our kung fu competition? I'm looking for you for something else."”I replied with an "oh", not knowing what he wanted to say.
Kang Xi walked around the room with his hands behind his back and finally said,""Little Guizi, I heard that you want to open a restaurant in the capital. Is this true?”When I heard this, I turned pale with fright. How did Kang Xi know about this matter in just two days? Moreover, I did this secretly. I let Zhang Debiao handle it. I didn't do it myself. Who knew that Kang Xi already knew? This super invincible traitor Feng Jizhong hadn't even appeared yet. Who was the one who leaked the secret?
Seeing that I couldn't hide it, I could only smile and say,"Yes, this servant bought a shop a few days ago and thought about opening a tavern. At least I can earn some loose silver. With money in my hands, I won't have to be corrupt when I work for the emperor in the future.”
I didn't expect Kang Xi to not be angry when I admitted it. Instead, he became interested and walked up to me."Tell me, is it interesting to open a tavern?”I said,"This servant doesn't know either. This is my first time doing business. I've invited a shopkeeper from outside to help manage it. I won't miss the emperor's errand."”Kang Xi waved his hand and said," The task is another matter. This tavern must be opened well. Consider it a task that Zhen has given you. If Zhen wasn't the emperor, I would also like to try my skills. Even if I can't become the richest in the world, I'm afraid it won't be bad."”
Only then did I understand that Kang Xi regarded opening a tavern as a very fun thing. Seeing his eagerness to try, I couldn't help but laugh in my heart. He said,"Yes, yes. The Emperor wants to start a business. I'm afraid that all the silver in the world will be earned by you. This tavern is considered half for us brothers. We will split the money equally."”Kang Xi laughed loudly and said," I am the Emperor. How can I take the money for business? The tavern is still yours. I will pay for the money for opening the tavern. As long as you do a good job, I will reward you heavily." By the way, what's the name of your tavern?”"I haven't given it a name yet. Please give it to me, Your Majesty."”Kangxi was overjoyed and walked to the desk. I knew he was going to write, so I ran over to spread the paper and grind the ink. Kang Xi picked up a large brush, dipped it in thick ink, and wrote the words " Huafeng Building ". After admiring it for a moment, he nodded in satisfaction, picked up the jade seal on the table, and pressed it directly above the words " Huafeng Building ".

Chen Adou sighed." I also know that these few chapters are necessary to explain the necessary formalities, and the readers are bored. But think about it, without today's bitterness, how can there be sweetness in the future? Everyone, save your strength and wait until Sunday night's sperm enhancement meeting to scold to your heart's content. Not only will I not complain, I will also present the essence.”
