Chapter 871 Suppliers


After lunch, Qing Yan accompanied Yinzhen in the study.

He personally inquired about the prices here, and not only thought that the imperial merchants who transported seafood had gained a lot of benefits.

"Xiao Guai, how much do the Haihong dishes we eat for lunch cost in the capital?"

Yinzhen was not a person who cared about the quality of things.

Since he took charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs, his thoughts have really changed a lot.

Not only do I go to the market for a walk on weekdays.

He also reviewed the mansion's account books with Qing Yan at any time, and he could never calculate how much money the royal merchants could earn each time.

Every time at the end of the day, Yinzhen has the idea of ​​​​going into business directly.

No wonder, Yinzhen is the richest among the princes, and those business differences can really make a lot of money.

Outsiders learned that the sources of income for his mansion, apart from his salary and various business ventures granted by Kangxi, were the Yuelai Inn and Linglong Pavilion.

During festivals, courtiers would also visit the Yuelai Inn and book private rooms directly there.

Some even stayed overnight at the inn.

"Sisi, in fact, the capital is very expensive.

When transporting seafood, the shopkeeper said that more than one-third of the seafood will be lost.

These are all included in the price, as well as the expensive ice and freight. , Therefore, the price of a plate of Haihong dishes will definitely increase ten times."

Qing Yan said it directly without hiding it.

Yinzhen couldn't help but take two breaths of cold air.

This was simply a money grab.

"Xiao Guai, are you really sure you really want so much?"

Yinzhen confirmed again and again.

Many imperial merchants who transported seafood have opened shops in the capital, and some of them are shops that supply seafood to the princes' palaces.

The freight here suddenly has so much profit, which makes Yinzhen feel even more depressed.

Every year, the treasury allocates money to the imperial merchants.

The imperial merchants use 40% of the silver to buy things, which is enough, and the remaining 60% of the silver becomes their own.

"Yes, you have to know that in the capital, the price of these seafood can be ten times higher when transported there."

Qing Yan said unequivocally.

The seafood here is very fresh.

Most of them are fished directly from the sea by the fishermen in the early morning.

She made some sashimi directly.

She brought with her some mustard paste made from the wasabi powder that was brought to the palace.

During lunch , Kangxi was very happy to use it.

"However, you have put a lot of pressure on the imperial dining room.

When I come to Shandong this time, Huang Ama will probably have some favorite dishes, and I think Haihong is one of them."

Yinzhen observed Kangxi's meals carefully and helplessly smiled.

After going out, Kangxi no longer abided by the requirement of eating no more than three meals, and never spared his favorite dishes.

"Haha, it has nothing to do with me.

There are so many delicacies in Shandong.

If you travel incognito, you will of course look for local specialties.

Who would use the food in the palace?"

Qing Yan asked strangely.

His prediction was correct.

He couldn't find delicious ingredients in the imperial dining room, so he would often go to the Yuelai Inn to look for them.

They even said that it was the Yuelai Inn's responsibility to ensure that Long live the Lord with good meals.

As soon as those words came out, Qing Yan was immediately bored.

No one knew that things were far more complicated than imagined.

Yuelai Inn is not included in the ranks of imperial merchants and does not receive any household subsidies, but it has to help them find delicacies again and again.

Even the tasters at Yuelai Inn will be under pressure.

"Sisi, I won't help the imperial dining room anymore.

Yuelai Inn doesn't belong to anyone.

They can still blame Yuelai Inn for not being able to find the best products."

Qing Yan has always tolerated this, and Yinzhen As soon as she mentioned the imperial dining room, her temper suddenly exploded, and she no longer wanted to hide anything.

That’s all He personally went to deal with the trouble in the imperial dining room and appease the angry Qing Yan.

"Well, from now on, we will take the meal orders into the palace in person, and there will be no need for the imperial kitchen."

Yinzhen thought about it again and decided that the palace would take care of it.

The people in the Imperial Dining Room scolded the tasters at the Yuelai Inn.

Those people took away the menu and never mentioned it in front of Kangxi.

They all said that the Imperial Dining Room carefully developed it.

"Hmph, those people got rewards in their hands, and they are still urging me behind the scenes.

One prescription per month, they really think they are cheating as tasters."

Qing Yan was angry, and fashionable terms appeared one by one.

Yinzhen poured a cup of sour plum soup from the side and asked her to suppress her anger first.

She drank some sour plum soup, and the fire slowly subsided, not as strong as before.

"Okay, Yuelai Inn doesn't have to take care of the imperial dining room anymore.

I'll go back and write notes."

The shopkeeper of Yuelai Inn still adheres to the concept of businessmen not fighting with officials.

In the past, the store that Yinzhen opened could make others better.

The biggest advantage was his identity.

"Really Sisi, thank you so much.

I will ask Yuelai Inn to bring some ingredients to the mansion every time there is a new dish.

We are ready.

You can try which one can enter Huang Ama's stomach.

Let's Do it well and strictly control it, and you will never make any mistakes."

Qing Yan's eyes lit up.

The little eunuchs in the imperial dining room often went to Yuelai Inn to make trouble when asking for a house.

Sometimes, they would take and eat everywhere, and the diners on the first floor could not rest in peace.

Now, Yinzhen's promise directly saves a lot of trouble.

"That's all, prepare it yourself.

I'll go ahead and ask Su Peisheng to be sent to Chengqian Palace."

Yinzhen agreed, just in time to pay tribute to Concubine Tong several times a month.

"It's best to go when you are here."

The small kitchen in Chengqian Palace is ready.

The chef in the small dining room of the church is the best.

Emperor Ama and Er Niang can use it if they want. " Qing Yan listened to Yinzhen's chatter and laughed.

People said that Fourth Master was a talkative person, and he never worried about such things in front of familiar people.

"Si Si, how many days will you stay here?"

Qing Yan asked.

She needs a few days to check the status of her purchases.

Every time, the supplier will deliver very well in the first few times, but the rest of the purchased ingredients are not very good.

This happens repeatedly, and she is always extra careful.

"It will take about ten days.

Huang Ama sent his private servants to investigate the local living conditions."

Yinzhen understood Kangxi's process.

Qing Yan was relieved.

In ten days, he could deliver things exactly ten times, so he could probably understand the supplier's situation.

"When the investigation is over, we can leave together."

Qing Yan clasped his hands and smiled.

She hoped to have a few days of relaxation.

This time, Kangxi was really awesome and was so satisfied that she wanted to go.

He picked up the brush on the side and wrote a person's name on the rice paper.

Qing Yan shuddered.

This person was her seafood supplier in Beijing.

"Is there something wrong with this person?"

Qing Yan asked worriedly, "The seafood at Yuelai Inn in Beijing comes from his hands."

"This man is an imperial merchant" Yinzhen said, Qingyan understood and pretended to be an ordinary merchant.
