After returning home, Yan Lizhou had all the gifts given by the ladies in the palace be sent to Chen Yu's warehouse.
Of course, he still took some medicinal materials, but basically not much. Everything else was put in Chen Yu's warehouse and registered as her personal belongings.
"Did you really give them all to me?" Chen Xun looked at Yan Lizhou and asked him to send all the things to her warehouse, and asked him.
Did you really give it all to her? Don’t you feel bad?
"Give it all to you." Yan Lizhou smiled.
Because in addition to medicinal materials, most of the things given by the ladies in the harem were jewelry, gems, jade and the like, as well as some fabrics and the like. These things were really of no use to Yan Lizhou, so he might as well have them all.
Give it to your own princess.
Chen Yu smiled and saluted him, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty."
His Highness Prince Ning is really too generous to be able to get so many good things for free. The ladies in the harem are also too generous. She likes such generous people.
It was getting late, so Chen Xun asked someone to quickly check in and put it in the warehouse. She went back early to take a comfortable hot bath, and then went to bed happily.
Yan Lizhou did not go to bed so early. Instead, he did all the things that needed to be done and gave instructions on what needed to be done before he started to rest.

After the Chinese New Year, Chen Xun started preparing to open a hotpot restaurant. She could just open a hotpot restaurant in the first month of the year. But when the weather gets warmer in February and March, maybe the business won't be so easy?
The store in the West Market has been renovated before. The store is not too big, and Chen Yun has no plans to open the largest hot pot restaurant in Chang'an. However, the store can still accommodate 20 tables and chairs, including the kitchen and so on.
The place is quite spacious.
Chen Xun chose to open the business on the eighth day of the first lunar month. She sent five flavors of hot pot base ingredients, including spicy butter, tomato beef brisket, mushroom stewed chicken, clear soup ribs, and pickled fish, to the hot pot restaurant. The rest of the ingredients came from
It's up to the shopkeeper to do it.
She has no intention of providing the ingredients from Chen Xun's Space Supermarket to the hot pot restaurant. She only needs to provide the hot pot base.
There are not a lot of ingredients in Space Supermarket, and the refresh speed is slow. If she really provides ingredients to the hot pot restaurant, she must be operating it with Chenji Supermarket, which takes three days of fishing and two days of drying. She might as well let the shopkeeper of the hot pot restaurant
Find your own way to solve the food problem.
The shopkeeper of the hot pot restaurant was a shopkeeper who used to run a restaurant, so he had the source of the ingredients. After Chen Xun left the matter to him, he didn't care about it so much.
On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the "Chenji Hot Pot Restaurant" that had been smelling the fragrant and spicy smell since half past the twelfth lunar month finally opened its doors at the end of the twelfth lunar month.
"Shopkeeper, isn't your hotpot restaurant just an antique soup?" Yan Zhan said as he sat down and looked at the shopkeeper of the hotpot restaurant.
"The guest officer is right. Our hot pot restaurant is indeed similar to the antique soup, but there are still some differences." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Look, in addition to the antique soup with mutton soup base, we also have spicy hot pot with spicy butter base, tomato beef brisket hot pot, and sour and spicy pickled fish hot pot..." Shopkeeper He smiled and said.
Yan Zhan introduced.
Yan Zhan sniffed, and was really greedy for the spicy smell. He said to Shopkeeper He, "Shopkeeper, give us a spicy hot pot."
Shopkeeper He asked with a smile, "Do you want the pot base to be slightly spicy, heavy spicy or very spicy?"
"Of course it's spicy." Yan Zhan said.
"Hey, hey, can you consider that not all of us can eat spicy food? It's best to order a slightly spicy pot base." Yan Zhan's friend said.
"How about that?"
"Why not?"
Shopkeeper He smiled and said, "Sir, the spicy hotpot is really spicy. If you can't eat spicy food or are not used to eating it so spicy, you will have diarrhea after eating it."
"Sir, it's better to be cautious," Shopkeeper He said with a smile.
He doesn't care what kind of spicy hot pot the customers eat, he only cares that if the customer has diarrhea or feels uncomfortable after eating the hot pot that is too spicy, they will blame it on their store.
Although the owner of the hot pot restaurant is Princess Ning, they are not willing to cause trouble to the owner.
Yan Zhan was a little hesitant. He really wanted to eat spicy food. The fried chicken he originally wanted was spicy, and he also ate spicy chicken. He felt that he could eat spicy food very well.
But when he looked at his friend, he didn't seem to be very intolerant of spicy food, and he frowned.
"Guest, if you have different tastes, you can choose Yuanyang Hotpot or Jiugongge." Shopkeeper He said with a smile, "Yuanyang Hotpot and Jiugongge can satisfy the tastes of different guests."
"The shopkeeper didn't tell me earlier." Yan Zhan felt relieved.
So Yan Zhan and his friends ordered Jiugongge, a spicy butter pot with three flavors, mild spicy, medium spicy, and heavy spicy; and in addition to this, they also ordered all the pot bottoms and a pot with water.
At the bottom, make up enough nine-square grid.
After ordering the pot base, it’s time to order the dishes.
Beef is definitely not available, but mutton, chicken, duck, fish, rabbit, etc. are all open to eat.
There are also various ingredients such as mushroom meatballs, chicken meatballs, fish meatballs, spicy rabbit heads, roasted rabbit legs, fish fillets, mutton slices, lamb kidneys, haggis, duck offal, etc.
There are mushrooms and the like, but they are all dry goods and not much fresh. After all, there is snow outside now, so where can I find mushrooms?
Then there are vegetables, including radish, lotus root, cabbage and the like, as well as bean sprouts, leeks and other vegetables. Although it is not very rich, it is not bad.
As for dried vegetables, dried bamboo shoots and the like, there are also some. You can put them in a pot and cook them for a while before eating them.
Yan Zhan and the others ordered only meat, but they still ordered some vegetables at the suggestion of the shopkeeper, but their favorite was meat.
"Does your hot pot restaurant still have these things?" Yan Zhan asked, looking at the braised pig head, braised pig intestines, braised pig trotters, pork liver, duck intestines, pig blood, duck blood and the like on the menu.
"Of course, our hot pot restaurant still has a lot of dishes." Shopkeeper He said with a smile.
Although opening a hot pot restaurant only requires a very good hot pot base, if you want to make business better, of course you must have more dishes.
For example, dishes such as braised meat, braised pork feet, tiger skin chicken feet, tiger skin pig feet, spicy rabbit heads, etc. can be added to hot pot.
This is what the chef of the hot pot restaurant does, and those who do the chopping and chopping are basically Chen Yun’s subordinates who invited Yan Lizhou to come over and help.
After all, those soldiers who have been in the army for many years have good knife skills. They are quite suitable for tasks such as cutting vegetables, mincing chicken, pork, and fish.
Yan Zhan frowned at the pig heads, pig intestines and the like. Even though they were from prominent backgrounds, they didn't even bother to eat these things. But this shop was opened by Princess Ning, so he should believe it?
