It is still uncertain when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will return. As for whether he will drink and fight, this kind of thing is no longer within Wei Jiu's consideration.

He had been busy in the restaurant for a few days after leaving the courtyard, and the largest investor in this business seemed to have forgotten about it and ignored him, and there was no trace of him. For such a hands-off shopkeeper, Wei

Jiu wanted to say something sincerely.

Well done!

Lao Su was busy custom-making tables, chairs and plaques. The little boy was pushed to the backyard room to study. Wei Jiu was playing with the pots and pans in front of him. Don't underestimate these small pots. There will be no more than twenty small pots.

He took half of Lao Su's family property and entrusted Li Chongyi to help.

Twenty small copper pots! I heard that Li Ke also helped some. After all, in this era, copper is equal to money, and people are not allowed to melt copper privately.

These small pots were Wei Jiu's treasure. In order not to eat the people of the Tang Dynasty to death, they were constantly scrubbed with steel brushes and polished smooth.

When Wei Jiu used Bingshou's cold water to wash the pot, Li Chongyi and Qin Huaiyu squatted in front of him and watched quietly, with no intention of helping. He expected that Li Chongyi would come to this mess, but

Qin Huaiyu also came, which surprised Wei Jiu. What was he doing?

Too lazy to pay attention to these two guys, he got up and went to find Lao Su.

"Brother, we don't need the tables near the windows. Use clean and smooth blue bricks to cover a few tables and leave stoves the size of small copper pots in the tables. We must be quick. The restaurant must open before the first snowfall."

Wei Jiu brought Lao Su together to discuss. Lao Su kept nodding and turned from a small bun shop to the owner of a restaurant in the blink of an eye. This was something he had never expected in his life.

There is no other way to build a table with blue bricks. It is not that simple to make hot pot in this era. There is no alcohol fuel and no electric pot. The only way is to use charcoal fire to cook the pot and discharge the smoke out of the window along the small chimney. These

Wei Jiu thought about it in detail. The taste should not be perfect, but it must be safe.

Making hot pot in such a troublesome manner also takes advantage of the shortcomings of this era. The weather is cold in winter and heating is a bit troublesome.

Imagine it's snowing heavily outside the window, and everyone is gathering around a stone table heated by a charcoal fire, eating hot pot. What a pleasure it is.

When Wei Jiu returned to the backyard again, Li Chongyi and Qin Huaiyu and their children had already built a fire. There was a small copper pot on the fire, and they put some meat slices in the pot from time to time. Wei Jiu did not stop them.

I just watched quietly from the side, not believing that a few of them could cook the meat in plain water to taste good.

The three of them ignored Wei Jiu and put the meat and vegetables in the pot randomly. Then an embarrassing scene occurred. There were too many things in the pot and they would not be cooked for a while. You three idiots, look at me and I look at you.

, then everyone looked at Wei Jiu, who laughed and turned to leave.

He had a lot to do and didn't have time to fool around with these two idiots, one big and one small. He found a bag of sesame seeds, sifted out the seeds with a dustpan, soaked them in water, and poured the sesame seeds into the wok one by one and stir-fried them.

, after a while the fragrance has dissipated, pour the sesame seeds into the stone mill and grind them into paste.

While Wei Jiu was busy and sweating, three guys appeared next to the stone mill. One leaned on the other and looked at Wei Jiu playfully. After the sesame paste was successful, Li Chongyi spoke.

"Xiaojiu, you are so busy and sweating just to do this? Just go out and buy some."

Wei Jiu, who was immersed in the joy of success, was slightly stunned, pointing at the sesame paste and looking at Li Chongyi.

"Is it for sale?"

The three of them nodded at the same time, and Wei Jiu was furious.

"Then if you didn't tell me earlier, I'm as tired as my grandson, and you just watch like this? Eat my food, drink my food, live my life, and now the joke is on me too? Go, go, you two, go home.

Bar."

Seeing that Wei Jiu was angry, he suddenly screamed.

"The meat is done."

The three guys turned around and ran away. At the same time, they snatched the sesame paste from Wei Jiu's hand. Seeing them eating boiled vegetables lively, Wei Jiu was indeed a little angry. He grabbed a small copper pot and went to find Loli Daddy.

A spoonful of homemade bean paste, some spices, two spoons of old soup, added with water, and sitting across from Lao Su. Dad Loli seemed to be in a good mood. He also secretly poured a glass of bad wine and smiled shyly at Wei Jiu.

Some can't let go.

When the water boiled, Wei Jiu took down a few thin slices of mutton, some wild vegetables, and smiled lightly at Loli's good father.

"Brother, we two brothers are destined to be together. You must never let go in front of me. Just put it this way, without you, Lao Su, there would be no Xiaojiu and me, let alone this restaurant. You drink wine and I eat meat.

.”

The two of them drank garlic puree and sesame sauce, and Wei Jiu finally found a meaning from the past life. Dad Loli took a sip of wine, lowered his head and rubbed his hands and whispered to Wei Jiu.

"Xiao Jiu, it's not that I can't let go, but I'm just a little uncomfortable with it. I didn't dare to take a look at this restaurant when I passed by it in the past, but today I've become the shopkeeper here. I always feel like I'm dreaming."

"As long as you have dreams, if you don't have dreams, people will stagnate. Brother, men should be more generous. What is this restaurant? After many years, I'm afraid you won't be secretly drinking this kind of wine.

, Hurry up and eat, if those three idiots in the backyard find out, they will be robbed. What a little prince and little father-in-law, like a bumpkin, he just ate the hot pot and stewed it without any oil or water, which is embarrassing."

Wei Jiu curled her lips and cursed Li Chongyi and Qin Huaiyu in the backyard to Loli's father, but he didn't notice that these two guys were standing behind him with a little guy. Li Chongyi rolled up his sleeves several times and prepared to take action, but was stopped by Qin Huaiyu.

Next, Young Master Qin stopped Young Prince Li not because he didn’t want to slap Wei Jiu, but because he wanted to do the slap himself.

A burst of wind came out, and before it landed on Wei Jiu's head, he had already picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and lifted it to the back of his head. He ate it in a small bite, his big eyes instantly narrowed into crescents, and he crawled to the

Acting coquettishly on daddy's back and asking for meat.

Now that they were discovered, the other two guys also sat down. Li Chongyi complained in a low voice that Wei Jiu was not interesting enough and did not teach them how to eat hot pot. Qin Huaiyu was not willing to be treated as a bumpkin and retorted.

"Wei Jiu, after all, I am also a young master, and I am also a well-known dandy in Chang'an. Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about fun! Most people can't play..."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Jiu stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth and curled his lips in disdain.

"Quickly pull me down. I can't beat you. I've seen each of you. Your Highness is just a fledgling. He doesn't understand anything. As for the two of you who can eat hot pot into a stew, you are considered a talent. You know what it means.

Do you know how to play? It's not because you are good at certain things, but because you play something that others have never played before, and slowly let them imitate you. This is called knowing how to play, you know? Just like this hot pot, it is also a kind of playing.

, do you two understand the game?"

The two of them looked embarrassed. Li Chongyi was used to Wei Jiu's mouth, but Qin Huaiyu was not used to it yet. After thinking for a long time, he could not find a rebuttal and said in a low voice.

"If you don't know how to play, you can eat, right?"

"You know how to eat? Aren't you tired of dipping it in sesame sauce? Here's a little vinegar and fried dogwood meat sauce. Mix it evenly and use it as a dipping sauce. Li Chongyi, I won't talk about it. Mr. Qin, don't you know how to eat, drink and have fun?

?”

Qin Huaiyu blushed when he was whistled, Xiao Ze had already started to prepare the dipping sauce, Qin Huaiyu also followed suit and whispered at the same time.

"Okay! Don't call me Young Master Qin. Wei Dabaiming, just call me Xiao Qin."

Wei Jiu smiled lightly, picked up a few pieces of meat and put them in his bowl. At this moment, a sweet laugh came from outside the door.

"Young Master Li, it's really rare for Young Master Qin to be taught such a lesson."

Wei Jiu immediately stood up and bowed to salute.
