The road to the emperor begins with farming

When He Weixi heard Luo Yu say that he had no money, he felt that if Luo Yu's current restaurant could earn enough money to open a steak restaurant, he might have to wait a year or so, how could he wait.

"How about... I will lend you some money first, and then pay me back when you make money? My family still has a rented shop on Qingjiang Street, and it will expire at the end of the year. Sometimes the rent can be cheaper for you.”

Although he was sent back to his hometown, there was no shortage of money.His stepmother wanted to sell well in front of his father, but she didn't want him to be successful, and she was hoping that he would learn to be bad with more money in his hands, so that his father would completely reject him.Of course, he also fulfilled her wish and turned himself into a dude.

Luo Yu was tempted when he heard it, it was like being handed a pillow just after falling asleep.He has a food shop, so naturally he doesn't want to open another small shop that only sells fried chicken and burgers, and there is no profit at all.Since it is going to be a rich man's business, the paving and decoration must be high-end, so it needs a lot of money.But with his current income, he still doesn't know how many days he will have to save.

If possible, Luo Yu would like to use the empty-handed white wolf method to get money.It's a pity that there is no bank in Linjiang County, but there is one in Yueping Mansion, but it is far away, so people may not believe him.

"Aren't you afraid that I won't pay back the money I owe?" Luo Yu wanted to agree, but he was afraid that He Weixi would just be impulsive, "Our brothers just came to Jiang County not long ago, aren't you afraid that I'm a liar?"

He Weixi glanced at him, and said: "Although we have only met for a short time, I know that you are trustworthy, and you will never do that kind of treachery."

"Why do you trust me so much?" Of course Luo Yu knew that he was a good boy who strictly abided by the core values ​​of socialism, but He Weixi had only known him for a long time, so he trusted him like that.

He Weixi looked at Awang who was working not far away, and raised his chin, "Since you can be so nice to a servant you bought, how can you have a problem with your character?"

It seems to have some truth.

Luo Yu cupped his hands to him, "It's rare that brother He trusts little brother, and I can't let you suffer, why don't we work together?"

"What kind of cooperation method?" He Weixi became interested when he heard it.

"We cooperate to open a steak restaurant. You provide the shop, and I provide the technology. The rest needs to be decorated, hired workers and purchase money. We each pay half. In the future, we will share [-]-[-] of the profits."

He Weixi patted the table, "Okay, cooperate."

He had listened to what Luo Yu said before.Although he just dismissed the family who set up a trap for him secretly, but there are many eyeliners of that woman around him, and he is afraid that the news has already been sent to the capital.

Since his stepmother refused to let him go, nothing he could do would satisfy her.Instead of just trying to survive, it's better to fight hard, even if you can't compete with that woman, at least you won't be crushed to death easily.Anyway, I have already torn my face, and it is important to strengthen my own strength as soon as possible.

Just didn't know how to start, the opportunity came to him, how could he let it go.And he felt that since Luo Yu could come up with such a novel food, he might have more ideas in the future, and his future was definitely not limited to this.In short, working with him is definitely not a loss.

The two hit it off immediately, both looking eager to try.

Luo Yu said again: "I don't have any money right now, you have to pay the initial funds first. When I make money in the future, I will return the principal with interest to you."

"You and my brother, why do you have to calculate so clearly." He Weixi said with a smile, "Just return my principal."

"Brothers have to settle accounts clearly, so it's settled." After Luo Yu finished speaking, he went to the counter to get a pencil and paper.

Luo Yu didn't know how to write brush characters, and he didn't rush to learn, and he didn't have time to learn, so he drew a picture, went to the carpenter's shop and asked the master to make some pencils for him.The appearance of the pencil is smooth wood, and the inside is made of graphite powder and clay mixed in proportion, which is almost the same as modern pencils.

Seeing Luo Yu writing with a pencil, He Weixi found it fresh, took it over to look at it, and said with a smile: "Your pen is interesting, much more convenient than a brush."

Luo Yuxin said, what's the point, and I'll surprise you when I develop a fountain pen when I have time.

He randomly made up a reason to prevaricate, and began to write on paper what he needed to open a steak shop: plates (need to be customized), goblets (need to be customized), table knives and forks (need to be customized at the blacksmith shop)...

He Weixi pointed to the words he wrote and asked, "What does the word you wrote read? Why don't I recognize it?"

Luo Yu looked at the illiterate expression, "Dish, why don't you even know this? Could it be that you only know how to drink and pick up girls all day long, and you haven't even learned the words."

He Weixi snatched his pencil, wrote a plate in traditional Chinese on the paper very awkwardly, and shouted: "This is the plate, you wrote something with missing arms and legs, and you said that I can't read, you will really beat me up. "

Luo Yu: "...I'm using the simplified Chinese version, isn't it easier to write?" He forgot to write traditional Chinese characters, but he only knows how to write them!It seems that the words I write in the future will inevitably lose arms and legs.

This time it was He Weixi who looked at the illiterate.

"Do you need to customize the plates?" He Weixi didn't bother to argue with him any more, and asked again, "When we ate at Wangxinglou, the plates they used were pretty pretty."

"Of course it needs to be specially customized. If the customer accidentally uses too much force when cutting the steak with the knife, the ordinary plate will be broken. Wouldn't it spoil the customer's elegance."

"You mean, you have to give everyone a knife to cut the steak by themselves?" He Weixi's eyes widened, "This is not very good, didn't you tell me before that the most important thing is service in a restaurant? Why don't we cut it for them before serving? What if the customer accidentally hurts his hand?"

Luo Yu: "..."

He Weixi ignored Luo Yu's speechless expression, and continued: "Also, if we go to the blacksmith's shop to order so many table knives, will the government suspect that we will rebel? Besides, iron is also very expensive, and making these table knives requires a lot of money. It costs a lot of money.

Luo Yu: "..."

He silently crossed out the table knife and fork written on the paper, forgetting that ancient mineral resources were scarce, and he also forgot that knives (no matter what kind of knives) could not be mass-produced at will in ancient times. The government suspects that you are going to rebel.

Moreover, he suddenly remembered that there is no stainless steel yet, and iron products are relatively easy to rust. If one person cuts steak with an iron knife, ah!That picture is simply magical.Therefore, although it is a bit nondescript to ask customers to use chopsticks when eating steak, it is better than that magical picture.

He Weixi pointed to the goblet written by Luo Yu and asked, "What kind of cup is this goblet?"

Luo Yu drew a picture of a goblet, "That's it, made of glass."

"What is glass?" He Weixi thought for a while, "Is it glass?"

Luo Yu: "..."

There is no glass here. Does he want to open a glass factory first?If you really use glass cups, it will be expensive.Luo Yu silently crossed off the goblet again.

But when he thought of the western food restaurant he opened, everyone picked up the whole steak with chopsticks, took a big bite, and then picked up the wine in the porcelain cup and said, "Go!" I can't go down.

By the way, Luo Yu thought of another question, "Is there wine here?"

"Of course there is." He Weixi gave him a strange look, "Not only wine, but also pear wine, apricot wine, cherry wine... There are also chrysanthemum wine, peach blossom wine... what more wine do you want?"

"I still want... corn wine." Luo Yu said casually.

"Oh, no." He Weixi thought for a long time before asking, "What is corn?"

Luo Yu: "..." Now there is no corn.

Luo Yu waved his hand, "I said it casually."

He didn't want these utensils anymore, and instead wrote about raw materials: beef, chicken.

Just thinking about what kind of beef to use to make a delicious steak, I found that He Weixi was hesitant to speak.

Luo Yu's heart trembled, "What's the matter? Isn't it hard to buy beef? At worst, we will raise our own cattle in the future, so we can rest assured that we can eat them."

"It suddenly occurred to me that the Great Yin Dynasty could not slaughter farm cattle at will." He Weixi looked tangled, "Unless it is an old and sick cow."

Luo Yu: "..." There's no more beef, and they even open a shitty steak shop.

Luo Yu finally remembered that this is not a modern place, and he can eat whatever he wants.The national condition here is that everything serves the land, and cattle are protected animals, not endangered animals such as tigers and giant pandas.

He threw the pencil away, well, the steakhouse couldn't be opened.

He Weixi didn't give up on his first career, so he tentatively asked: "How about... change it to a pork chop shop?"

Luo Yu thought about it, pork chops are just pork chops, even chicken chops and fish chops are fine.

Pigs are not scarce here. At that time, a pig farm can be built to raise pigs scientifically.There is also a chicken farm, which is self-sufficient in raw materials.

As for the knives and forks, simply cut them into small pieces in the back kitchen and put them together, and drizzle the sauce on top, which is more convenient to eat.

In ancient times, don't be poor and particular.

After thinking about it, Luo Yu stood up and said, "Go to your shop first to see the situation, design how to decorate it, and start construction after the Chinese New Year."

He Weixi's shop is located in the middle of Qingjiang Street. It has two floors and a small backyard.The original tenants opened a shop downstairs, stacked goods upstairs, and their family lived in the backyard.

It stands to reason that this location also belongs to the golden zone, how could there be things that cannot continue to operate?

Luo Yu didn't understand it at first, but when he saw that the store sold musical instruments, he immediately felt relieved.

Although the six arts of gentlemen are emphasized at this time, rites, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics, including music, most scholars can play one or two musical instruments.But how many scholars can there be in a small county like Linjiang? Even in Fucheng, the operation of musical instrument stores mostly depends on the contacts accumulated over the years.Moreover, this kind of shop is not like the modern ones that also teach people to learn musical instruments.

I really don't know what this person is thinking, but he ran to Laijiang to start a musical instrument business, so it's no wonder he didn't pay.

He Weixi greeted the owner of the musical instrument store, and took Luo Yu to look around.Because the owner's house is still there, there is no way to measure it carefully, so Luo Yu just took a casual look to get a rough idea.

Separated from He Weixi, the two work together. Luo Yu goes home to draw decoration design sketches, and He Weixi is responsible for going to the porcelain factory to customize cups, plates and bowls. It is best to have their shop's LOGO printed on the tableware.Fortunately, the porcelain industry here has developed quite maturely, and cups and plates can be customized according to the owner's description.

In addition, Luo Yu also needs to study the dishes. The preliminary preparations include three staple foods: pork chops, chicken chops, and hamburgers, as well as snacks such as chicken wings, chicken legs, and potato chips. The soups are borscht and minced chicken and mushroom soup. Have to study slowly.

Luo Yu also wanted to make pizza, but the process was too complicated, and it was better to use an oven, but now he gave up without that condition.Of course, the name hamburger seems weird here, so Luo Yu changed the name to Sandwich Bread.He originally wanted to call it Roujiamo, but he heard that there was already one, so he had to give up.
