Li Shi Min was on a hunger strike. He was craving for steamed buns. He had been holding it in for a few days. Two days ago, Concubine Yang went to learn it herself. It was not bad, but it was not as delicious as the little shopkeeper's.
Especially those ministers who ate every day. As the emperor, he couldn't eat together, right?
Moreover, he did not have enough money in his pocket now. How could he let the minister spend money? Spending five or six strings at a time would be a headache for anyone.
Even the Guanyin maid and the child live frugally, so I can't be too extravagant.
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. Since when did eating buns become extravagant?
"Your Majesty, why haven't you eaten yet?" Zhangsun asked.
"There is one thing that Zhen does not understand. Guanyin maidservant, when I was a young master in Taiyuan, I didn't spend extravagantly, but I did spend a lot of money.
When he was the king of Qin, he was not extravagant or restrained.
Why was it that now that he was the Emperor, he couldn't even afford a meal of steamed buns?”
"Imperial Father, I want to eat too." The seven-year-old Chengqian muttered.
"Imperial Father, I want to eat too." The 6-year-old Chang Le was in Li Shimin's arms, blinking his big eyes pitifully.
"Father, Imperial Father, I want to eat too.”The four-year-old Li Tai also shouted.
Looking at his child who was crying and waiting to be fed, Li Shiming felt more and more frustrated. He slammed the table and said,"Men."
"Yes!"
"Go to the Shanhe Soup Dumpling Shop opposite us and bring back twenty baskets of steamed buns. 50 Herbal Tea Eggs. Go ahead. Come back and buy fifty drawers. 100 Herbal Tea Eggs. Go."
Zhangsun smiled bitterly. Who would dare to stop the king of a country from eating buns, especially when he was in a bad mood?
Zhangsun was also greedy, but now that the palace treasury had no money, spending nearly three strings of money for a meal of steamed buns was indeed a little extravagant.
In the past year, if he ate steamed buns, he would earn nearly 90 Guan a month, which was 1100 Guan a year.
Zhangsun didn't even dare to think about which family could eat 1100 strings of coins a year. If he included the concubines and Retired Emperor, they would have to eat 2000 strings of coins.
Every woman had her own plans. It seemed that she had to help the little shopkeeper do more work. She had brought back all the food that she had wrapped last time. The child and Erlang ate happily.
When Qin Song heard that the palace wanted buns, and that there were so many at once, he did not dare to ask if the emperor or the concubines wanted them. He could only quickly pack them up and take them away.
Watching him leave, he couldn't help but feel that a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse. A breakfast cost more than 10,000 yuan without blinking. Li Er still had money, but the Turks robbed less.
The group of ministers in the morning had already gone to court, and all the remaining buns were almost sold out. Business had been getting better and better these few days. It was indeed too busy for one person.
Fortunately, the four servant girls in the backyard improved faster. In another ten days, they would be able to make buns. The progress of the servants was a little slow. He would save them for the dough in the future.
Sometimes, opportunities were left for those who were prepared. The people that Qin Song was currently training just happened to be in time for the lecture. If he trained them well, they would also come in handy at that time.
However, there was still an important problem, which was the problem of the buns.
This kind of soup dumpling was too delicate. It could break with a touch of chopsticks, and it could not be stored back and forth, so it could only be stored in a steamer.
This steamer was also money. How many steamed buns could he sell?
Especially this morning, when the palace had asked for fifty steamers of steamed buns, he had given out fifty steamers. It was not worth it.
Moreover, those people had been eating steamed buns for years. What was the use of keeping the steamer? Therefore, he had been studying the packing problem for the past few days. He didn't have any good leads.
"What is this kid thinking?”Fang Xuanling had left court and came over to buy some buns.
Qin Song threw out the question, and Fang Xuanling also fell into deep thought.
Du Ruhui was here.
He was also brought into the ditch by Qin Song and stood in front of the fire in a daze.
The officials of the lower court gradually gathered at the entrance of Steamed Bun. They all thought that there would be a commotion, but in the end, they all followed suit and were in a daze.
All the officials in the court couldn't think of a solution.
At this time, Li Shi Min was reading memorials. After eating so many buns for breakfast, he naturally had to work harder. When he heard someone pass the message, he couldn't help but call in.
"Your Majesty!"
"What are you talking about? So what if he was a minister? I didn't hear it clearly."
"Your Majesty, after the court session, all the lords gathered in the breakfast shop opposite in a daze. This subordinate also asked curiously…"
The person told Qin Song's question, and Li Shimin also fell into deep thought. After a long time, he came back to his senses and slammed the table: "This bunch of people have nothing to do. Go and scold them.”
The person hurriedly ran out of the palace gate and came to the middle of the ministers to pass on His Majesty's orders.
All of you courtiers, you don't want to make progress. You surrounded a bun shop and pondered for a long time. How can you still look like you're in power? Go back and reflect on yourself.
Shopkeeper Qin, you're selling steamed buns at fifty wen per steamer, and you still have the nerve to think about the steamer. You'll sell them like this in the future, and you're not allowed to change."”
"We will obey." The ministers were all very depressed. As expected, they all had nothing to do. No wonder the Emperor was angry.
"This commoner obeys." Qin Song cowered. Forget it, Boss was angry. He would sell it like this in the future.
Li Shiming was puzzled. The little brat's shop seemed to have some kind of magic. The ministers always liked to go there. This was something worth studying.
A hidden guard walked over." Your Majesty, this lowly one saw the Eldest Princess pass by the breakfast shop and chatted for a while. It seemed that they had come to an agreement to work there."”
