"Young Master, we've arrived at the Charcoal Mountain you're looking for.
The carriage in front can't get up. Do you think we should stop here?”
As the carriage stopped, one of the two servants outside pulled open the curtain and asked for instructions.
Du He nodded and said,"Then stop here. This Young Master will just walk down and take a look!"”
After saying that, he jumped off the carriage first.
This action startled the two servants. They were afraid that their young master would knock and touch something.
Fortunately, when they saw Du He standing steadily on the ground, the expressions of the two servants became a little better.
However, they did not dare to be careless.
Just like that, they stood on both sides of Du He, protecting him inside.
Behind Du He, the Niu brothers also jumped down. However, Xiao Yu shook her head at this time. It seemed that she was still afraid of the cold.
Du He didn't care. She raised her head and looked at the charcoal mountain in front of her.
Unlike the other small mountains, there wasn't even a single weed on this mountain, let alone trees.
Moreover, even in this white world of ice and snow, it could not hide the deep black essence below.
"It's actually an open-pit coal mine. The heavens are really helping me!”
She lifted her hand to push away the snow on top. When she saw the coal below, Du He couldn't help but exclaim.
In this era, the value of an open-pit coal mine was unquestionable.
After all, due to the limitations of the conditions, the cost of digging a coal mine would be extremely high.
However, it was different for the open air. There was no need for any preliminary work. All they needed to do was dig.
"The two of you, arrange for one of your men to go to the village ahead and ask who owns this Charcoal Mountain.”
After confirming the location of the coal mine and its authenticity, Du He immediately instructed the two people beside her.
The two of them had already received instructions from Old Wu.
No matter what their young master needed them to do, they had to do it without hesitation.
Therefore, when they heard Du He's instructions, one of them immediately set off for the village ahead.
Not long after, the servant returned with the news.
But when Du He heard the reply, she frowned slightly.
"What a coincidence. I didn't expect this to be the Wang Clan's Charcoal Mountain. This is going to be troublesome.”
He thought about how he had tricked that Wang Clan brat a few times before and even scolded the Wang Clan Restaurant's Manager, Wang Mian.
Moreover, because of the booming business of the Longevity Restaurant, the living space of the Pearl Restaurant was greatly squeezed.
The grudge between them would be huge!
"It seems that if we want to succeed in this matter, we need an opportunity. We can only use our wits and not force it!”
Du He pondered for a moment, raised her hand to the few people beside her, and got into the carriage again.
He had already achieved his purpose for coming here today, so he naturally wouldn't stay any longer.
。After giving a simple order, he let the servant return home.
And in the palace's Hall of Reverence
Li Shimin, the Emperor of the Great Tang, was listening to Minister Zuo Wei Zheng's report on the governance of the refugees.
"…Your Majesty, this is the situation. Although there are many refugees outside the city, it's not a big problem.
As long as the weather was warm in the spring, these refugees would naturally return to their hometown.
The only thing I'm worried about is whether there will be a problem with the food supply. Otherwise, there will be no reason for anything to happen.”
Wei Zheng replied in a deep voice.
Li Shi Min nodded." You don't have to worry about the issue of food. I've personally given the order."
I will chop off the claws of anyone who dares to reach out at this critical juncture. Those two county magistrates who neglected their duties are examples.”
Li Shi Min said in a stern tone.
A moment later, he frowned again, thinking about something.
"Your Majesty, do you have any other questions?" Wei Zheng cupped his hands.”
Li Shi Min shook his head and said,"I don't have any questions. I just remembered what that brat said that day."
He felt that there was something missing. How could that kid be so sure that the Imperial Court's strategy would go wrong?”
"Your Majesty, how can you believe my words?
I dare to guarantee that there will be no mistakes in this matter of managing the refugees!”
Hearing Li Shiming's words, Wei Zheng's face twitched.
He still felt blood rush to his head when he recalled the analogy of an old dog.
Li Shi Min nodded and put away his doubts.
Seeing that the emperor had nothing else to ask, Wei Zheng also took his leave.
However, when he just left the palace, Du He and the others had already arrived at Yongle Lane.
Naturally, there was no chance for them to brush shoulders again.
Du He didn't let the carriage return directly to the manor. Instead, it stopped in front of the Longevity Restaurant.
The Niu brothers had been here before, but Xiao Yu had never been here before.
Looking at the restaurant opened by her young master, Xiaoyu's big eyes were full of curiosity.
Du He also wanted her to come and see the world, so she brought her from the first floor to the third floor.
He also explained the situation in the restaurant in detail, as well as the various differences between the restaurant and other restaurants.
After all, she was going to train someone to be her secretary. How could Du He not pay attention?
Although Xiaoyu was still not clear about her young master's plans, she was still very worried.
But now that she saw Du He speak in detail, she naturally listened carefully.
She even asked him questions from time to time.
He looked at the smart and studious Little Yu, and then looked at the Niu brothers who were looking around in boredom.
Du He glared at the two of them a few times in a bad mood, but it made the Niu brothers stare inexplicably.
At the same time, in the Pearl Restaurant opposite the Longevity Restaurant, Manager Wang Mian was gritting his teeth.
When Du He's carriage stopped, Wang Mian was watching from the window.
He waited until the backs of Du He and the others disappeared, and he still looked at them for a long time.
At this moment, the Pearl Restaurant was completely different from the usual lively scene.
It was on par with the original Prosperous Wealth Restaurant that was 'almost overcrowded' by them.
At this moment, there were only two or three tables of customers in the restaurant.
Those waiters who had nothing to do were all listless, making the restaurant seem even more deserted.
"Stir-fry, stir-fry! What was the key to cooking?”
Wang Mian, who had been secretly angry for a long time, finally could not help but slap the table.
Ever since the Longevity Restaurant had become popular, he had begun to pay attention to this opponent who he had originally looked down on.
He even sent people to the Longevity Restaurant to taste the dishes.
However, although the people sent out had tasted the taste of the stir-fried vegetables, they did not know what the key to stir-frying was.
And why was it so delicious?
Wang Mian had also heard about it.
In Chang 'an Fortress, apart from the Longevity Restaurant.
There were also a few restaurants under the Duke of Zhao, Zhangsun Wuji, that used stir-fried vegetables.
However, after a deeper understanding, he realized that the source of the stir-fry was in the hands of the child who had scolded him that day.
"Forget it, this old man has lost!"
Wang Mian let out a long sigh. He instantly seemed to have aged by more than ten years.
He stood up with a hunched back and looked at the Longevity Restaurant opposite him, muttering to himself,
"I wonder if what that kid said that day is true?
Can he still reward our Pearl Restaurant with a mouthful of food at this time!”
