Survival rules for restaurants: cooking and eating melons at the same time

Chapter 122 The Real Proton Prince

In fact, An Qiao had nothing else to do. She was just thinking that the snow was too heavy. The weather was cold and she always wanted to drink sugar water. Now she just wanted to boil some water with brown sugar so that she could drink it while playing Monopoly.

When Anqiao returned to the yard with the sweet soup, she saw Qitao sitting in the house waiting for Anqiao. Just like the restaurant over there, Anqiao built a large fireplace in the main room when he was building the courtyard.

At this moment, Qi Tao was sitting there, and he didn't feel cold even with the doors and windows open.

In the corridor outside the gate, a group of people from the Dali Temple were roasting rabbit meat, and the aroma filled the air.

"Are we just playing?" Qi Tao asked. She loved playing Monopoly, but it would be a bit boring if there were only two of them.

An Qiao thought for a moment, "A few people in the yard have gone home, and the remaining few who haven't gone home have made plans to go out and play and haven't come back yet. It should be the beginning of winter and the beginning of spring over there."

Qi Tao said sullenly, "Where's the koi? Catch him and play with him."

"He is about to start school. I asked the other day, and the teacher found an uncle for him. But when he heard that he was so old but still couldn't read, the teacher asked him to learn the Three Character Classic and Thousand Character Classic first, otherwise he would not be allowed to study when school starts." An Qiao thought of how Jinli seemed to be working hard these days and found it funny.

"Lidong doesn't want to go out today because of the coming of the day. She is probably asleep now. Not to mention Lichun. She is the most tired. Everyone else can rest, but she has to watch the master repairing the yard." Qitao made a sullen expression. It's fine for two people, they can still have fun.

An Qiao couldn't help but smile, "Why don't you try chess and go? They're both fun if you get into them."

Qi Tao immediately waved his hands and said, "No, no, that's not fun."

The sound of the master and servant laughing could be heard outside. Zhao Huaiqing couldn't help but ask through the wall, "What is Monopoly?"

Qi Tao's eyes immediately lit up. Yes, how could she forget about them.

The little girl walked out holding the chessboard. "You haven't seen Monopoly yet. This is it. It's very fun. We made chessboards. There are many different styles. Many people play it in the milk tea shop."

Yes, everyone in the Dali Temple has been very busy during this period and has no time to know these things, let alone play.

As soon as Qi Tao finished speaking, Wu Huan raised his eyebrows. He liked playing chess and was very good at Go and chess. It was incredible that Miss An could actually invent chess pieces by herself. From the first time they met, Wu Huan felt that the young lady was a genius. Now it seems that it is true.

"What kind of chess piece is so interesting?" Xinhai asked curiously.

Qi Tao moved a small square table over, spread out the chess pieces, and explained the rules to the people present.

Everyone went from being puzzled to being shocked. No wonder Miss An's business was so big and so successful. This chessboard was all about making money, and it was full of financial intrigues.

Miss An, the god of business.

An Qiao looked at the expressions of the crowd and touched her nose in embarrassment. Could she say that she didn't invent it? Could she say that it was the fruit of modern people's wisdom?

"Well, when can we play? I'm a little confused now." Xin Hai said hesitantly.

"Let's play together now. You can eat and play at the same time. It's very simple. I didn't quite understand it the first time, but you will be able to play it once you play. It's super easy." Qi Tao was very excited to see that several people wanted to play. She was naturally happy to have someone to play with her.

A group of people gathered in a circle. An Qiao saw that there were enough people, so he didn't join in the play and just sat aside and watched.

At the beginning, everyone in the Dali Temple was a little confused, but after a while, they became familiar with it.

"This is my land. Give me money, this is the toll." Zhao Huaiqing looked at Gu Qingyun and said, and Gu Qingyun took out a small piece of paper money and gave it to Zhao Huaiqing.

"If gold and silver could be made into such thin sheets, wouldn't it be much more convenient to buy and sell?" Xinhai said while rubbing the piece of paper.

"Are you stupid? This is paper, so you can't rub it off. If it were gold or silver, you would rub it in your hands every day, and it would be rubbed off." Gu Qingyun was speechless. What a dangerous idea.

"Isn't it just a banknote? You really are..." Zhao Huaiqing was puzzled and confused.

Everyone ate and drank to their heart's content amid laughter and joy, and even played Monopoly. They left feeling satisfied, and before leaving, each gave An Qiao a few taels of silver.

"Congratulations on your opening, Madam An. We'll come back to eat after you open your business." Xinhai waved his hand and walked out of the courtyard.

……

The next day, Gu Qingyun entered the palace. The emperor was stunned when he heard that he wanted to see the hostage. "Xiao Ran'er has always been very well-behaved. I raise him as a younger brother. I'm afraid that's not the case. He looks harmless every day. I'm afraid that he will kill himself one day."

Gu Qingyun added, "Your Majesty, I just met him and didn't do anything. If there is really something, it would be better to solve it as soon as possible."

Gu Qingyun did not give in and still wanted to meet with Proton. He always felt that this might be the only breakthrough.

The emperor finally agreed that the hostage was free in the palace, and Gu Qingyun could enter the harem with the emperor's oral order.

Gu Qingyun was led by Xiao Pingzi, walking along many bluestone roads, and was brought to a palace that was not gorgeous but not old either.

Xiao Pingzi made a call and someone answered soon from inside. Xiao Pingzi bowed slightly towards Gu Qingyun, and when he saw Gu Qingyun go in, he turned around and left.

The layout here has not changed much since I was a child, except that the swing that could seat two people during my childhood has been removed.

"Si Yu, you're here." The voice came from the side of Gu Qingyun. Gu Qingyun was stunned. He hadn't heard the voice of Proton for a long time.

"Your Highness, long time no see." Gu Qingyun gave him a half bow.

"Why is Siyu so distant with me? I am just a hostage, which is not a good thing. There is no need for you to come and bow to me." The host's voice was faint and soft, but it made people feel that the voice was coming from far away.

"Xiao Ran'er..." Gu Qingyun's thoughts were constantly pulled away, and he said blankly.

The proton looked around, told the eunuch to close the door, and motioned for Gu Qingyun to follow him in.

Gu Qingyun followed him into the inner room. Proton did have obsessive-compulsive disorder. Everything he owned was arranged very logically and neatly.

"Si Yu, do you understand Feng Shui?" Proton asked softly as he stood in front of the table with Gu Qingyun.

Gu Qingyun replied, "I know some, but I'm not sure about some of them."

The proton waved for Gu Qingyun to come over, "Look, here, here, here... these places are good places I have found, with excellent feng shui. If they are revitalized, they can even open up another city. The location is good, and people are prosperous, especially this opening on the side. As long as these places are revitalized, there will be a lot of money coming in from outside, and the weather will be good."

Gu Qingyun looked at these places and his pupils shrank. Aren’t these the residences of several sects?

"Si Yu, I don't know much about Feng Shui. My second uncle loves to read it. He bought these books for me." Proton said lightly and took out another book.
