Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

The hall fell into an eerie atmosphere.

Chen Hong was hunched over, frozen in place, unsure whether to stand or pick up the pieces.

Everyone scrutinized him with strange glances.

The cup broke, how interesting.

Who brings a cup to court? And shatters it on the ground in front of His Majesty.

That's not auspicious!

Chen Hong was inwardly lamenting.

This broken cup... he felt it was a pity to throw it away this morning, so he casually brought it along. When he arrived at the Meridian Gate, someone struck up a conversation, so he just carried it into the court like this.

He wasn't paying attention just now and it fell.

If he had known, he would have just tossed it to a servant. Why did he carry such a cumbersome thing himself?

He brought it on himself.

"Is this the legendary signal to attack by breaking a cup?" Fang Zheng's voice floated over lightly.

Damn it, Fang Zheng!.

Are you trying to kill me! Have I offended you?

Chen Hong shuddered, almost kneeling on the ground. Fortunately, he steadied himself and looked at Fang Zheng with a distorted face: "Marquis Jianye, you can't joke about that!"

Emperor Jing's expression was wooden: "Pick it up. Why bring a cup to court?"

Seeing that Emperor Jing wasn't blaming him, Chen Hong quickly picked up the shards from the ground. Looking at the questioning gazes of the crowd, he said with an embarrassed smile: "This... this is embarrassing to say, but I bought some food from a restaurant when I came to court this morning, and the cup was a free gift."

"Although the cup isn't anything valuable, I thought it was still an object, so I couldn't bear to throw it away and carried it with me."

So that's how it is.

The officials immediately had knowing looks on their faces.

"What restaurant gives away cups with meals? I've never heard of it," someone asked.

"The restaurant is called Ken De Ji, it seems to be newly opened..." Chen Hong finished, his old face turning red.

He couldn't help but want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

The name of this restaurant is terrible, it feels vulgar just saying it...

Sure enough, everyone around him laughed when they heard it.

The name clearly had some mass appeal... quite straightforward.

Emperor Jing was also inwardly pondering, the name was indeed vulgar enough.

"This old minister knows this restaurant, it has become quite famous in the capital recently," Zhang Dongxiang suddenly said.

Everyone looked at him.

Zhang Dongxiang smiled: "Your Majesty, the dishes sold in this restaurant are different from those outside, called hamburgers. I wonder if Your Majesty has any impression?"

"Hamburgers?" Emperor Jing asked, puzzled, "I have never heard of them."

"This is a food that was made in the Yucai Elementary School cafeteria, this minister heard his grandson mention it," Zhang Dongxiang explained, "There is no such thing outside, if this minister is not mistaken, this restaurant should be inseparable from Lord Fang, right?"

As soon as he said this, the officials all laughed.

Good for you, Fang Zheng, you are the richest in the court, and now you are opening a restaurant, you are eating even mosquito meat!

Seeing that everyone was collectively looking at him again, Fang Zheng remained noncommittal.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this restaurant does have some relationship with this minister..."

It's more than just some relationship, it's a big relationship.

Ken De Ji had been open for a few days. Although he hadn't participated in the sales, ingredient supply, and other series of things, he couldn't help but intervene and guide the dishes when the restaurant was completed later.

As a former office worker and fast food expert, it was necessary to help the Crown Prince modify the menu.

He gave the idea of giving away ceramic cups, and he also assisted and cooperated with the chef to prepare the hamburger sauce.

Originally, he didn't understand or need those Western-style mayonnaises and salad dressings. Those messy sauces would not conform to the taste of Da Jing.

So, with the assistance of many chefs, Fang Zheng used the waste oil from frying chicken to make a brand-new Jing-style sauce.

In terms of taste, it replicated nearly 80% of the essence of fried skewers with sauce in front of major high school and elementary school campuses across the country in his previous life...

This thing is the real local god sauce.

Ken De Ji sold out as soon as it opened... Of course, he didn't pay much attention to the follow-up. Li Yuanzhao was still participating in management and optimizing the cooperation between employees.

"What are you doing opening a restaurant? What do you mean by having some relationship with it?" Emperor Jing asked.

Fang Zheng cupped his hands and replied: "Returning to Your Majesty, in fact, the restaurant was not opened by this minister, but by someone else."

"The real owner behind the scenes... is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince....

The hall fell silent again.

The officials looked at each other, Emperor Jing's expression frozen on his face.

The Crown Prince went to open a restaurant...

Opening a restaurant is one thing, but he gave the restaurant an illiterate name!?

"This is outrageous, Marquis Jianye! How can His Highness go down to the people to open a restaurant? Why didn't you stop him? What will the people think if this gets out! Opening a restaurant is one thing, but who came up with the name of this restaurant!" Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Shi Kangping, said angrily.

Nowadays, the status of merchants has improved, and few people mention the shame of doing business.

After all, in this atmosphere, a large number of listed businesses are listed on the exchange, and there are official backgrounds behind them.

No one dares to pretend anymore.

Who would dare to oppose merchants? Would they still list their stocks? Would they still make money?

No one dares to make their family uncomfortable, let alone slap others in the face.

So, doing business is tolerable.

But he can't tolerate this terrible name! The royal family is doing business and giving the restaurant such a name.

A great joke under the heavens!

Fang Zheng immediately said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came up with it himself."

Better a dead Daoist than a dead friend, I don't know what Your Majesty's attitude is right now, so let's throw the blame out first.

The Crown Prince!?

Emperor Jing was furious, his old face burning.

Not for anything else, but also annoyed by this terrible name!

Li Yuanzhao.... is uneducated, all the books are in the dog's belly!

"Tell me! What exactly is going on? Wasn't the Crown Prince going to study the factory? Why did he go to open a restaurant?" Emperor Jing said angrily.

Fang Zheng said: "Returning to Your Majesty, His Highness has always been concerned about the factory."

"Although the restaurant is inconspicuous, it is good because it is small, and the management methods in it are similar to the factory management methods. His Highness initially planned to set up a factory himself, but considering the high cost of setting up a factory, the complexity of the matter, and the long time required, he thought of this method."

"In addition, this minister believes that there is nothing wrong with opening a restaurant. Although the name of the restaurant is a bit vulgar, its essence is to face all the common people in the capital, focusing on affordability and integrity, so that the people can afford to consume."

"If the name is literary and refined, high and lonely, then it is obviously not conducive to the operation of the restaurant. Now this name, the people know what it does as soon as they hear it, and it is catchy, which is obviously an excellent strategy."

Chen Hong quickly chimed in: "Your Majesty, what Marquis Jianye said is true, that restaurant is indeed affordable, and the people are vying to buy it before dawn."

"Thirty-nine cents, with vegetables, meat, and flatbread, and a cup of tea with the cup, no, not expensive, really not expensive."

"Lord Chen, is this a matter of expensive or not! This involves the influence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Shi Kangping reprimanded on the spot.

Chen Hong quickly lowered his head.

No... he is not a person inside or outside today, it is better to shut up...

Emperor Jing's face changed constantly, and he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Isn't this messing around? This son and son-in-law are starting to act up again!

This issue cannot continue, it will make people laugh!

"Alright! Let's talk about business first, this matter doesn't need to be discussed anymore."
