Chapter 57 Open a cold drink shop

"Wen'er, ask someone to bring you another ice cream." Li Min thought of a way to help Qinghe and the others earn pocket money, but he didn't say it directly. Instead, he ordered Wen'er.

"Brother Six, we have begged you so much, are you still in the mood to eat ice cream?" Li Zhi held Li Min's thigh and raised his head and said, with a very dissatisfied face, but the boy then shouted to Wen'er who had not gone far.

Said, "I want a double portion!"

"Me~Me too!" When the two little girls who were pretending to be pitiful heard that they wanted to eat ice cream, they couldn't help it anymore and shouted loudly.

"Okay, let's all get up!" Li Min shook his shoulders and found that Qinghe and Gao Yang were hugging each other really tightly. He had no choice but to say, "You are such an old man, and you are still playing rogue with Sixth Brother? Isn't it just to make some money?"

Pocket money? I have an idea!"

"Really~!" Gao Yang and Qinghe immediately jumped for joy when they heard this. They were convinced of the talent of their sixth brother, otherwise how could they make things like Wu Wang Zui and cement?

"Brother Six, please tell me, how do you make money?" Li Zhi also stood up excitedly and asked with great anticipation.

"Do you still remember the little trick I taught you before lunch today?" Li Min asked as he sat down, picked up the fruit and took a bite.

"Remember, isn't that the one who uses saltpeter to make ice..." Qinghe answered with a puzzled look on his face at first, but in the middle of the sentence, his face suddenly lit up and he shouted excitedly: "Ah! I understand, Brother Six, you

Want us to sell ice?”

After hearing Qinghe's words, Li Zhi and Gao Yang also understood. In this hot weather, ice used to relieve the heat has always been a very precious thing. Even their father Li Shimin used ice to reward ministers. Although they are expensive

For princes and princesses, the use of ice on weekdays is limited, and the quantity is not large. Generally, they are only used for food and cooling when the weather is particularly hot. When they are used up, they will be gone. If you use saltpeter to make ice at this time,

The sale will definitely attract countless people to rush for it. After all, except for a few wealthy nobles, few people can dig a huge ice cellar to store ice.

However, after Li Zhi was happy for a while, he immediately thought of a question, so he asked: "Brother Six, your method is good, but this saltpeter ice is not edible, otherwise you will definitely get diarrhea like me.

of?"

"Idiot, you won't let someone design a mezzanine container. Put saltpeter and water in the mezzanine for cooling, put some clean water inside, and then just use the ice inside." Li Min slapped Li Zhi on the head and scolded him.

He said that when he first met Li Zhi, Li Min still had some thoughts and wanted to please this brother who might sit on the throne in the future. However, after getting along with him for this period of time, he now only regards Li Zhi as his younger brother. He should fight

Hit and scold when necessary. This is the way brothers should get along.

"Yeah, why didn't I expect that Sixth Brother is smarter!" Although he was hit on the head, Li Zhi still had a smile on his face. Compared with other brothers, Li Zhi still liked to be with Li Min, because under his

They were very relaxed in front of them, and there was no need to worry about etiquette. Everyone was playing around and forgetting about their status as princes, just like brothers and sisters in ordinary families.

"In addition, this saltpeter ice production has another advantage, that is, after the saltpeter is used, it can be used repeatedly after drying, so the cost is extremely low. When the price is set at a price that most people can accept, it will definitely make everyone

People flock to it like ducks." Li Min has already thought of the cold drink shops of later generations. If one could appear in the Tang Dynasty, the business would definitely be booming.

At this time, Wen'er had already brought the ice cream, and according to Li Zhi's request, all three of them had double portions. With the food first, Li Zhi and the others couldn't care about anything else and just grabbed it and ate it. Si Zi wasn't around anyway.

, don’t worry about her making trouble.

After taking a few mouthfuls, Li Min stopped and said, "My plan is to let you spend money to open a cold drink shop. It doesn't matter if you don't have money. Brother Liu, I can lend you some first. The products I sell are ice cream like this."

The cold drinks can come in a variety of styles, and I believe that once launched, they will definitely attract many people to try them."

"Brother Six, let's not talk about the money issue for now, but if we open a shop, we don't have anyone?" Li Zhi suddenly thought of a key issue. The people around them are all people in the palace. They cannot leave the palace at will, let alone

Help them manage the store?

"Pheasant slave, why are you so stupid? Brother Six came up with the solution, will he just let it go?" Qinghe said with contempt.

"Haha, if you can trust Brother Six, then you just need to pay. I will help you with the rest. Then you can just wait and count the money." When Li Min said this, his eyes secretly glanced.

Looking at Wang Xijun standing next to him, he was having a headache as to what to do with the maid who came to his door. Now he could just let her manage the ice drink shop, which would kill two birds with one stone.

Wang Xijun was a little disappointed. She also saw the huge profits contained in saltpeter ice making. She wanted to tell her father when she went back today and promote it in her Dengxian Tower, but she didn't expect that these princes and princesses would take the lead.

After they did this, even if they knew how to make ice with saltpeter, they would not dare to use it in the restaurant. After all, the other party was a noble prince and princess. Who would dare to compete with them for business so blindly?

Hearing Li Min's promise, Li Zhi, Qinghe, and Gao Yang almost jumped up with excitement. Now they no longer have to worry about not having enough pocket money. They don't have to make a fool of themselves when rewarding the palace people. They can just reward them with a little money.

I feel distressed for a long time.

Next, the three little guys put their heads together and discussed how many contributions each person could contribute. Although they had been crying in front of Li Min just now, as princes and princesses, they still had some private money. The last three

The total amount of people's money was fifty guan, which was indeed a little less. They rented a small store, bought some store equipment, raw materials, etc., and also hired some people. This amount of money is probably still a little short, even if it is the Li Min Gang.

After they make up for it, the size of the final store will not be too large.

After listening to Li Min's analysis, Qinghe, an ambitious little girl, was not satisfied with opening a small store. She persuaded Li Zhi and Gao Yang and asked them to agree to recruit more people to become shareholders. Anyway, there were so many brothers and sisters in the palace.

It's the same with them. When they come to the palace to talk about it, they won't be afraid that they won't rush to buy shares.

Li Min was also very impressed by Qinghe's generous idea. He didn't expect that this girl actually had a talent for business. If she did this, she might really make a name for herself.

The matter of opening a cold drink shop was settled in this way. Next, Li Min played cards with them for a while. He knew more card games than playing landlords. It was just a way to kill time anyway, so he played all the card games he could think of.

They all taught it to Li Zhi and they had a great time playing.

Maybe it was due to the weather. Sizi woke up after about an hour of sleep. It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Li Min said in the morning that he would prepare a rich dinner for Sizi and the others, but there was no time now.

It was early, after all, they had to go back to the palace, so I asked them what they wanted to eat.

"Brother Six, we don't know much about the situation in your house, so we might as well let you watch the preparations. In the end, we can make a few novel and delicious dishes, just like the new dishes at the Five Kings Banquet.

Same!" Li Zhi thought for a while, and finally suggested with a smile. He liked to eat the new dishes at the Five Kings Banquet. Li Min also spread the cooking methods to the palace, but after eating them for so many days,

No matter how novel the dishes are, they are no longer novel, so Li Zhi, who likes the new and hates the old, made such a request.

"Pheasant slave is right, I think so too. Brother Six, please don't let us down." Gao Yang also responded mischievously. Sizi was very well-behaved, but said in a coy voice: "

Si Zi listens to Brother Six, and I like to eat whatever Brother Six cooks." As a result, Li Min became very affectionate and vowed to satisfy Si Zi.

"You two are really greedy. You can make those dishes no matter what you want. I think the dishes for lunch are good. Brother Liu, don't be too difficult." After all, Qinghe is older and knows things better.

There are more than them, and she also learned cooking from her mother in the palace, so she knows that cooking is not as simple as most people think.

"Haha, Qinghe is still sensible!" Li Min put down the Sizi, patted Qinghe on the shoulder and said with a smile, but then turned to Li Zhi and Gao Yang and said, "It's not impossible for you to want to eat novel dishes, but I want to

Go to the kitchen to see what ingredients are available, and then ask the chef in the house to make new dishes for you to eat."

"Eh~, Sixth Brother? You can actually cook?" Qinghe asked in surprise. Although Li Min made steamed eggs for Si Zi at the last Five Kings Banquet, the method was very simple and it was nothing.

.Although the dishes at the Five Kings' Banquet were all invented under the guidance of Li Min, very few people knew about them. Most people only thought that the cooks in Prince Liang's Mansion were brilliant. No one would have thought that those dishes were invented by the majestic Prince Liang. Therefore,

Only Qinghe had this question.

"Haha, I don't know how to cook, but I can instruct others to cook." Li Min said with a smile. In his previous life, he only liked to taste delicious food, but he couldn't cook it at all. He only knew the general method of each dish in his mind. If

Without the help of a good chef, he would never be able to cook those delicious dishes.

"Okay, you guys play with Sizi here for a while, I'm going to the kitchen." Li Min touched Sizi's little face, raised his head and said to Qinghe and the others.

"Brother Six, it's so boring for us to stay here. Why don't we all go with you and let us open our eyes and see how the delicacies of Prince Liang's Mansion are made?" Qinghe said with excitement.

The drunkard is not interested in drinking, so he plans to take this opportunity to learn a few tricks. After all, cooking is one of the must-learn subjects for girls in the Tang Dynasty, even princesses are no exception.

"I agree too, let's go together!" Gao Yang was also very interested, not to mention Si Zi. Children like to join in the fun. Only Li Zhi was poisoned by the "Gentleman is far away from the kitchen" and so on.

He seemed a little hesitant, but in the end he couldn't stand the threats of his two sisters and Si Zi's pleas, so he nodded in agreement.

Since they wanted to go, Li Min would not stop them. There was nothing invisible anyway. So he took the four little guys through several courtyards and finally came to the courtyard where the kitchen of the Prince's Palace was located. The kitchen of Prince Liang's Palace was divided into

There are two parts. The smaller one on the right is a high-end kitchen, which is specially used to cook meals for Li Min, the Prince of Liang, and some important stewards in the house. The large kitchen on the left is where the servants eat.

Li Min took them directly into the small kitchen on the right, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as he entered the yard, he saw the kitchen steward Lao Wu and his gang sharpening knives, and the ones they were sharpening were not for kitchen use.

The kitchen knife was a sharp-edged knife, which shocked Li Xuan. Could it be that these cooks were going to rebel?
