A paragraph was added. Interested readers can go back and read it. It doesn't matter if you don't read it. Tian'lai Xiao'shuo

…………

Old Fang stared blankly at the handsome young man eating with a satisfied expression on his face. He was furious and stood up.

It was okay for the female head constable to steal his wine. After all, the other party's status was there, and he couldn't beat her. The first batch of meat roasted by the son-in-law was sent to the woman. The eldest and second daughters were there, so it didn't matter if he waited a little longer.

But even this pretty boy dared to steal the barbecue he had been craving for a long time, and Old Fang couldn't keep calm.

If this pretty boy didn't know the son-in-law, he would have slapped him in the face.

As he stood up, several men behind Li Xuan also stood up, competing with Lao Fang in momentum, but apart from another affectionate look at each other, there was no radical action.

This was not the first time they had dealt with each other. The guards knew that this man would not do anything to the young prince, and Lao Fang also knew the details of these guys. The reason for not taking action... was mainly because the other party had more people and he was afraid that he would suffer a loss.

On the other side, seeing that several unfamiliar people had obviously come to the son-in-law's place and seemed to have a conflict with Lao Fang, several big men who were grilling fish not far away immediately stood up and walked towards this side quickly.

"You guys, stay over there, don't ruin your mood later." Li Xuan waved to the guards, found a clean stone, sat opposite Li Yi, and watched Li Yi turning the iron rack on the charcoal fire. He couldn't help but say: "This way of roasting is rare. The taste of the old imperial chefs in the palace is not as good as this."

There is no technical difficulty in roasting meat. Whether the roasted meat is delicious or not mainly depends on the sauce.

This is a secret method that Li Yi found after flipping through dozens of recipes. Although the taste is a little discounted due to the lack of several seasonings, it can be regarded as a rare delicacy in the world.

"If you want to eat it, roast it yourself." Li Yi saw that his eyes were always staring at the roasted meat in his hand, and he gave some to him.

In fact, Li Xuan had been eager to try it for a long time. After taking it, he brushed a layer of sauce on it like Li Yi just did, and then put the skewers on the charcoal fire and slowly turned them.

There was a slight sound of footsteps behind him. Liu Ruyi came over and looked at the young man sitting opposite Li Yi and asked, "Husband, who is this..."

"Husband?" Li Xuan looked up at the beautiful woman. Next to her was the woman who followed Li Yi last time in Qing'an Prefecture. She seemed to be his wife's sister...

Sisters are so beautiful. Turning to look at Li Yi, the expression on her face was a little envious.

This is a blessing of having two wives, tut tut...

Li Yi stood up and briefly introduced Liu Ruyi. He just said that Li Xuan was from Qing'an Prefecture and was a friend who was doing business together. His identity was not revealed.

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

Li Xuan did not regard himself as a little prince at all. He stood up and bowed, and was very polite.

Liu Ruyi never asked too much about business matters. He just greeted her politely and walked to the woman again.

"Sun Wukong, I call you, do you dare to answer?" On the grass slope not far away, a naughty kid raised a gourd and shouted loudly. Liu Xiaohu did not dance with the stick again. This time, he played the plot of Monkey King teasing the Silver Horn King.

Li Xuan was listening to it with interest. After roasting the meat, he stood up and walked towards the naughty kid while eating. When he left, he pointed to the middle-aged fat man beside him and said, "By the way, this is Steward Wang. He has always been in charge of the business outside the palace. You can discuss with him how to operate the Ruyi Lu and liquor business."

"Standard Wang... Want a skewer of barbecue?"

Li Yi put down the things in his hand, looked up at the fat man with a shrewd face, and handed over a skewer of roasted meat.

"No, let's talk about cooperation first..." Steward Wang said, smelling the meat, he couldn't help but salivate, subconsciously reached out to take it, and tasted it immediately.

"It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fresh and fragrant, really delicious." At this moment, Butler Wang really forgot about the business and couldn't help but exclaimed.

He himself is a glutton, and he loves meat on weekdays, so he looks so fat. As a butler of the palace, he has eaten quite a few delicacies. In terms of taste, the food in his hand is enough to rank at the top.

After a while, Butler Wang threw the bamboo stick aside, wiped his mouth, and spoke again.

"Ruyi Lu's business..."

"How about another skewer?"

Looking at the skewers of meat handed over by Li Yi, Butler Wang swallowed his saliva, stopped talking halfway, and stretched out his round and fat hands again.

With his usual appetite, eating this little is really not enough.

After eating a few skewers of barbecued meat and drinking two bowls of rice wine brewed by Li Yi, Butler Wang sat next to Li Yi, patted his stomach, and showed a satisfied expression on his face.

He rubbed his stomach and said, "I've eaten and drunk, thank you brother Li for your hospitality, let's talk about the cooperative business first. The palace has contributed manpower and effort, built a workshop and rented a shop, and then we have to arrange for manpower to produce and sell. The profits are split 50-50. Isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

"What does Butler Wang mean?" Li Yi looked at him and asked.

"Thirty-seven points." Butler Wang thought for a while and said.

With this distribution ratio, he actually took good care of Li Yi.

In the city, the businessmen who cooperated with Prince Ning's Mansion all took a fancy to this huge protective umbrella. After all, if they could get involved with the Prince's Mansion, they could do business in Qing'an City as long as they behaved and were honest. If you divide it, you won't encounter any trouble.

Of course, their contribution was also very high. The palace would not take care of many things, but it had to keep 70% of the profits.

This time, the palace wanted to build a workshop, rent a shop, and arrange manpower, but he only contributed a secret recipe and only took 70% of the profit, which was already very good for him.

If the other party hadn't been a friend of the young prince and treated him to a delicious barbecue, it would have been a lot to give him 20% of the profit.

"Thirty-seven points?" Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said with an embarrassed look: "How embarrassing is this? The palace has put in so much effort and only got 30% of the profit. I feel guilty. Otherwise, it would be four or six points." how?"

Looking up, he saw Li Yi with a righteous expression on his face, as if he was giving up huge profits. Butler Wang had a look of astonishment on his face, as if thousands of horses were galloping past in his heart.
