Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Li Xin is a person who is used to making complete preparations in advance. No matter what he faces, he likes to start with the worst outcome first. Therefore, he prepared early on that soy sauce would not be loved by people.

But he soon discovered that he was completely worrying too much.

People in the Guanzhong area have a preference for salty tastes. Now they encounter dishes such as braised pork with authentic soy sauce, fatty intestines, etc., which are just right for them, and everyone's mouth is full of oil. Even Chen Youlan couldn't help eating more.

Li Xin was very satisfied with this, and his confidence in the restaurant increased a bit.

After meeting Li Xin a few times, Zhang Quanfu had gradually figured out Li Xin's temper, and knew that he did not have the airs of an ordinary nobleman, so he smiled and gave a thumbs up and said: "I didn't expect the soy sauce that the prince said is so delicious. The little man thinks it is more delicious than the pig-killing dish he ate last time."

Li Xin nodded with a smile, picked up a piece of garlic-paste meat with chopsticks, dipped it into the soy sauce dish, and replied, "That's natural. Otherwise, why do you think I have to work so hard to make this soy sauce? Come, eat more if you think it tastes good."

After finishing speaking, he put the sliced ​​meat into his mouth, and the aroma of garlic and sauce smelt away. Even if the heat was slightly overcooked, he still chewed it deliciously.

When everyone was full of wine and food, sitting and talking together in twos and threes, Wang Gui quietly came to Li Xin's side and asked in a low voice, "My lord, I think we should send a team of guards to guard the palace. Lantian County, lest people with ulterior motives come here and see through the prince's secret."

Li Xin put down his chopsticks, narrowed his eyes and glanced at Wang Gui, and said with a smile, "You bastard, I really don't know whether to say you have brains or no brains."

Indeed, for the restaurant that Li Xin will open in the future, the winery and soy sauce factory are the most important, and they are the secrets of the decisive victory that cannot be easily revealed. This is so obvious that even Wang Gui can easily see it, not to mention the behind-the-scenes people who run the restaurant in Chang'an City.

In terms of the power of these people, once they think that Li Xin's restaurant is hindering them, they will definitely try their best to bring down Li Xin's restaurant. The most effective way is of course to steal Li Xin's winery and soy sauce factory, find With the secrets of Erguotou and soy sauce, Li Xin's restaurant will naturally not be able to compete with the well-established old restaurants, and it will fall apart casually, or become a second-rate restaurant, and will never be successful again.

It is rare for Wang Gui to be able to consider these issues, so it is no wonder that Li Xin was amazed.

However, this does not mean that Wang Gui's idea is completely correct.

Although Wang Gui said it politely and tactfully, he only said that he would send guards from the palace to guard Lantian County to guard against those who are interested, but Li Xin understood that in what he did not say, the other half of the duties of these guards from the palace must be to guard Lantian These villagers in the county will prevent them from being tricked or betraying Li Xin's secrets for other benefits.

After all, according to Li Xin's arrangement, these villagers will all work in his winery and soy sauce factory in the future, so the secrets of Erguotou and soy sauce can't be kept from them. If they are bought and used by people with good intentions, then the winery and soy sauce factory will disappear in an instant. This is indeed a worrying situation.

However, in Li Xin's view, this is not a reason for him to send a large number of guards to blockade Lantian County.

He said to Wang Gui: "Even if you send guards to guard Lantian County, can you really prevent so many of them from opening their mouths?"

Wang Gui looked up at the group of people, gritted his teeth, and said, "Yes! As long as I use military law to manage, anyone who dares to leave Lantian County without permission will be killed."

Before the word "pardon" came out, Li Xin had already slapped Wang Gui on the forehead, cursing: "Kill you without your head, what do you think this is? This is just my fiefdom, don't you really think Your lord, I am the emperor of this fiefdom! Kill me here, are you afraid that you want the emperor to kill me? If you want to die, just say it, just wipe your neck quickly, don’t get me involved!"

Wang Gui touched the place where he was beaten, but it didn't hurt. He laughed twice, and said, "What should the little one do? The prince should give instructions? Is it possible that he really let it go?"

Li Xin was also very helpless with Wang Gui's elm head, so he shook his head with a wry smile, and said in a lecturing tone: "Loyalty is not achieved by the morality of both parties, but by the same interests. Now my interests and These villagers agree that they will never betray me."

Wang Gui looked puzzled and didn't know how to understand Li Xin's words, but Zhang Quanfu, who came to toast Li Xin with a wine glass, happened to hear what Li Xin said.

With Zhang Quanfu's IQ, it is indeed difficult to understand such things as consistent and inconsistent interests. But Li Xin's last sentence was very simple. He said that the villagers would never betray him.

Zhang Quanfu exclaimed excitedly, "Yes!"
