Although he had a lot of money, he had to settle some debts with his own brothers. If he really didn't want any, Cheng Chumo and the others wouldn't be happy.
If we can cooperate, we can have fun together and earn money together, but don't pity us and think of giving us alms!
"Go wait over there."
Barbeque and beer were simply superb. Li Chen placed the skewers on the barbecue rack and began to prepare a barbecue from the Tang Empire. The skewers quickly emitted a wave of fragrance under the seasoning, making people drool.
The delicious barbeque without any added ingredients and beer made them eat heartily. Everyone was very full. Li Chen directly gave the remaining meat to the little servant girls, making their mouths full.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Li Chen lay on the chair and patted his stomach in satisfaction."You guys are in charge of building a few barbecue grills like this. Then, prepare the meat. I'll provide the seasonings and send a few reliable people to learn. In a few days, we'll be able to start setting up a stall. Delicious barbecue paired with beer. Tsk tsk, it's hard not to make money.”
The barbeque was not expensive. A skewer cost ten copper coins. It was a long-term trend. However, beer was different. A small cup cost a hundred copper coins. It would definitely cause a stir in Chang 'an.
Even ordinary people could buy a few skewers to try. It was definitely worth it. They were not afraid that someone would imitate them. Without seasoning, who would eat the roasted food?
Not to mention the beer. Where's the weapon?
When they thought of the large amount of money, Cheng Chumo and the others became excited. Even Li Ke was a bit tempted.”
"You still lack money?!"
Li Chen looked at Li Ke with a strange expression. Didn't they say that the royal family couldn't compete with the people for benefits?
No one would say anything if the person behind the barbecue was Cheng Chumo and the others, but Li Ke was different. Otherwise, a bunch of old men would come looking for trouble.
"How can I not be short of money?"
Li Ke smiled bitterly."The annual salary is only so much. You can't have any property or taxes. Everyone in the Imperial Residence needs money. When there's a problem, you have to do all kinds of things.”
Amongst the princes, only Li Taihuan dared to say that he did not lack money. The same went for Crown Prince Li Chengqian. With the Zhangsun family's support, the others were in a tragic situation. The princess was the same. All of them were living a tight life.
Therefore, Li Ke was moved. He participated in the shares and then didn't come forward to share the money.
"Other than the money for the drinks, I'll take 30%. You guys split the rest.”
Li Chen thought about it and saw that the others did not object, so he agreed. However, Li Ke's involvement could not be said casually, otherwise, Li Ke would really be in trouble.
70% interest, 20% for Qin Huaiyu, 20% for Fang Yiai, 20% for Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuli, and 10% for Li Ke. He was satisfied. After all, it was a small investment but a big gain. It was already good enough that Li Chen and the others agreed to let him participate. He didn't dare to ask for more.
With a goal, there was a motivation. Different from the usual lazy days, Cheng Chumo and the others began to work together. They were worried that others would steal the knowledge. Even the barbecue rack was made by their own blacksmith. Then, they bought meat and sent people to learn how to roast, how much heat to use, and how much seasoning to sprinkle.
Three days later, in a shop in Xi City that Li Chen had bought under his name, barbecue was officially launched. People started to watch, but when the smell of barbecue wafted out, they couldn't help but buy it. It was accompanied by beer, and it was simply awesome.
In less than two hours, they had sold all the meat that they had prepared for a day. The income made Cheng Chumo and the others 'eyes light up.
A group of good-for-nothings. Li Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this. This bit of money was just a small amount of money in his eyes. Now, Li Chen's daily income was a large sum. Not to mention ordinary people, even Li Er was envious when he saw it.
Unfortunately, Li Chen ignored Li Er's eager eyes. Donate?
That's impossible. Why should I donate the money I earned with my cheat? You're thinking too much.
Although he hadn't calculated it in detail, Li Chen believed that as long as he persisted, he would sooner or later become an existence that could rival a country. Any aristocratic family would have to stand aside. There was no comparison at all. Li Er was so poor that he was about to go crazy.
A bag of cement cost him 50 copper coins. It was enough for him to enjoy the streets of Chang 'an being turned into cement roads. Every time Li Er thought of this, his teeth ached. However, Li Chen did not give credit, money, or goods.
I'm rich, I'm rich!
This was something that Fang Yiai liked to say recently. However, this guy was not a good person. Once he had money, he immediately became extravagant. He did not know how he survived when he was poor.
Barbecue and beer immediately set off a hurricane in Chang 'an, and business was booming every day. There was an endless stream of people who came to eat barbecue and drink beer. Business was so good that countless people were envious.
Many people wanted to imitate it, but they found that it was impossible. Without seasoning, no one would buy the meat they roasted. Moreover, without beer, it was difficult to attract customers.
Barbecue and beer soon became the specialty of Chang 'an. Even foreign Hu merchants fell in love with them.
Even cheap pork could be turned into a delicacy in a barbecue stall. One could imagine how popular it was. In the Great Tang, except for the extremely poor, ordinary people would not eat pork, even though pork was indeed very unpalatable at this time.
Fortunately, with the seasoning, the pork that did not taste good became delicious. The mutton and venison were even more in short supply. Li Chen even had people push the internal organs to the barbecue stall.
As for whether or not it was clean, Li Chen could not guarantee it. In any case, he would not eat it unless he did it himself.
The barbeque shop became popular. The shop kept expanding. There were public areas and high-end private rooms. It was full every day. Ten wen was really not expensive, so it was naturally popular. More people came to taste the delicious beer.
"Your Majesty, the barbecue is here."
Barbecue had almost become a specialty of Chang 'an. As the master of Chang' an and even the Tang Empire, Li Er naturally had to come and see it with his own eyes. He had to bring his sons and daughters to visit in disguise.
