Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

Ever since the Son of Heaven ate a meal in the general and received a thousand taels of silver donation, all the officials in the court, whether high or low, donated money generously as long as they were able to participate in the great court meeting. , so you have to donate less, and those who are taller than General Li will naturally donate more, which makes a group of veterans grind their teeth with hatred. After selling it well, donating to the emperor and sending money to the Shangguan, I hope that my official position can be promoted to a higher level.

On the other side, Zhao Si and Li Sushan arrived in Liangzhou with their troops. The soldiers under Li Sushan handed over to the soldiers of the Song and Li families. The soldiers of the Li family remained behind, while the soldiers of the Song family returned to Beijing immediately.When the censor saw the fourth prince, he hurriedly reported the results of his inquiries these days to him. Before the arrival of the fourth prince, the censor had already sent someone back to Beijing to deliver the letter. This matter is of great importance and there are many people involved. If The former magistrate of Liangzhou didn't lie, so some of the people involved were not something his little censor could investigate.

After Zhao Si heard Yu Shi's words, his complexion became very bad. Li Sushan stood behind Zhao Si, and his breath was like a killing god, which made Yu Shi tremble unconsciously.Zhao Si was silent for a long time. He wanted to see all the officials who were locked up in Liangzhou, and he needed to return to Beijing as soon as possible. He was worried that there would be some changes in the capital.

After the emperor received the letter from Liangzhou, his complexion was not good. Regardless of whether what was written in the letter was true or not, the emperor immediately ordered people to surround the homes of several court ministers, only allowed to enter but not to leave.A while ago, the officials in the capital were all in danger again, but they didn't know what happened to the besieged households. Some people who gave money to the besieged families soon felt even more uneasy, whether they would involve themselves .

There is an uneasy atmosphere in the capital, and Wang Xiujin can feel it naturally in the capital, but as a businessman, he has limited concern for the affairs of the court, as long as the emperor is not changed, everything is just a cloud to him, Busy with the shop and the workshop under construction every day, Zhao Si's construction team is growing stronger and stronger, and the first group of people have become team leaders, so they don't have to do coolie-like work every day, but they still Yes, they will work with them. In their words, they will not waste all their energy if they work with them.

The restaurant is not as the people expected. After a while, it will be no different from ordinary restaurants. Just like what I said before the opening, whether or not the door will be opened depends entirely on Wang Xiujin's mood. When the door is opened, it really serves four tables, one person It is also a table, and those who have been to the restaurant for a meal are thinking about eating another meal. The food inside is really good, and they found one thing, there are four private rooms on the second floor, and there is a private room It is never open to the public. If four tables of guests come in at the same time, one table will have to wait for a table because it is late.It's not that no one wanted to use that private room, but because of Wang Xiujin's status and the rumors in the capital, he had to keep a low profile.

Wang Xiujin didn't care about the reactions of the diners. The restaurant didn't recruit the shopkeeper because of the randomness of opening the door. The shopkeeper Wang asked the shopkeeper Wang from the grain shop to help take care of it, and Sister Liu really took care of the restaurant with two tasks. Be organized.

The snack bar of Wang’s private house has become popular in certain circles in Beijing. From the strange business, to the alternative dishes, and the taste of people who have been there, there are very few dishes that crash, which makes the restaurant a face-saving project for some people. It is a must-go spot, and the number of times it can eat at the snack bar of Wang's private room is the capital to show off.

The food in the snack department is very simple, if it is better than other restaurants, it is probably novelty.After Wang Xiujin heard the evaluation of the restaurant from the outside world, he was happy.Shopkeeper Wang asked if he wanted to open one more table. In his opinion, it was a waste to make only four tables a day in such a large place on the second floor.

Wang Xiujin shook his head, "Each person can only buy three taels of crab rice. Every morning, before the shop opens, there are many people queuing up to buy three taels. We are not the only ones who have crab rice in the capital, and there are also grocery stores. , and there is no limit, shopkeeper Wang knows why there are still people waiting in line."

Why?Because of fame?Obviously not, the shop has just opened not long ago, so there is no reputation at all, and it is not a shop that has been open for several years, and it is not for limited quantities, and there are only so many in a day, and it is a way to wait until tomorrow when it is sold out.

"Everyone has a mentality that the rarer something is, the more expensive it is. At the same price, the same rice is sold as a treasure in the grain store. Everyone will have a feeling in their hearts that the rice in the grain store is more expensive than rice." The grocery store is very precious, even if they take both home and cook them, they will feel that the rice from the grain store is more fragrant, but the taste is the same." Shopkeeper Wang didn't go any further. However, shopkeeper Wang didn't come out to be the shopkeeper the first day, so he should be able to see some business opportunities.

Shopkeeper Wang quickly figured out the reason behind it, the restaurant was highly praised outside, even if the owner closed for a day or two from time to time, no one would guess whether the restaurant could not continue to operate, but only wondered if the cook made a new one. of eating.The restaurant will not offend its peers if it does business like this. It only serves four tables when it opens the door. How can it become a competitor? Being called a fool behind his back by his peers.

Does the restaurant lose money?Wang Xiujin made a plan to lose money. In fact, he is still losing money now, but it is much less than he imagined. The restaurant is profitable, excluding the cost of buying shops and decoration.Not to mention Wang Xiujin's accident, even the shopkeeper Wang who helped to read the account was also surprised. He was still wondering whether the monthly salary of the restaurant's staff should be paid by the grain, and it is completely unnecessary from the account. If it is stable in the long run, it will only take half a year to recover the capital No wonder the opening of a restaurant and an inn on the left side of the capital, the food business is really profitable.

Shopkeeper Wang felt that the owner he was following was really extraordinary, and the idea made others look a little whimsical, but in his hands, he could turn stones into gold. He can say with certainty that within three years, the restaurant upstairs will be the capital of the capital. A place where everyone wants to get in but can't get in, not the place where you can get in if you come early and take a seat outside.Shopkeeper Wang guessed wrong, even after several years, the restaurant will still be able to get in if you come early and queue up, and it's only for the same day, so you don't even think about queuing up to make a reservation in advance.After many years, the restaurant has become one of the big monsters in the capital.

At present, Wang Xiujin can't think of what will happen in a few years, so he confessed that he will rest in the restaurant tomorrow, and then left.Tomorrow is the bride price for the Song family, he needs to be at home, and if he wants to save a meal then, he needs Sister Liu to cook some special flavors.

The Song family was led by Mrs. Song with a matchmaker and eldest son, followed by twenty servants in twos. There were ten dowry sets in total, and ten were not small sets. They were all big boxes. Qing, in addition, Mrs. Song also brought a few house deeds and bank notes, and when she saw Wang Xiuyun, she took off the jade bracelet from her hand, saying that it was brought by her mother-in-law when she entered the door, and now it is passed on to Wang Xiuyun. eldest daughter-in-law.

This was the first official meeting between Wang Xiuyun and Song Hongyi. Although the folk customs in Daliang were quite open, unmarried men and women who were already talking about marriage still needed to avoid some taboos.The two didn't dare to look at each other, and the matchmaker almost praised the two of them as flowers, and almost didn't say that there is only one unparalleled in the world.It was not the first time that Wang Xiujin met his future brother-in-law, and he was very satisfied with Song Hongyi's character, and the back house was clean without any messy people.As for the future, Wang Xiujin believes that the elder sister can cure him.

Mrs. Wang is very satisfied with this son-in-law. From the worry at the beginning, fearing that the emperor would point out her daughter as not a good man, to later learning about the Song family from Xiao Er, and then acting on behalf of Xiao Er, Mrs. Wang became more and more fond of Song Hongyi. joy.Mrs. Wang sincerely invited the mother and son of the Song family to have lunch before leaving. She was still a little worried when she spoke. After Mrs. Song was very happy to accept, Mrs. Wang immediately asked the housekeeper to order the kitchen to ask Sister Liu to prepare more food.

The matchmaker saw that she had nothing to do, so she left, and when she left the door, a girl brought by Mrs. Song offered errand money.After the matchmaker left, Wang Xiuyun withdrew from the front hall, touching her face with her hands as she walked, it was so hot and embarrassing.Running to the backyard, it happened that Wang Chunshi was playing with his son in the backyard. Seeing his sister-in-law blushing, she couldn't help being happy, and hurriedly stepped forward to joke, "But satisfied? Isn't she handsome!"

"Sister-in-law!" Wang Xiuyun blushed even more from being teased by her sister-in-law, stomped her feet vigorously, then turned around and ran away.Looking at the shy figure of my sister-in-law, Wang Chunshi was amused, "Don't forget to have dinner with me at noon." After Wang Chunshi finished speaking, Wang Xiuyun ran even faster.

"Mother, why did my sister leave?" Wang Zhiyuan came down from the slide and saw that my sister had disappeared. He still wanted to play with her!

"Sister-in-law has something to do, so naturally I have to go faster. If I walk slowly, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it." Wang Chunshi was very happy to think of her sister-in-law, and wiped the sweat off his son's brow.

Lunch was a joy for both the host and the guests. Before Mrs. Song left, she asked Wang Xiujin if he could send a cook over to ask the Wang family's cook to teach him something. Wang Xiujin smiled wryly, "I wonder if there is a female cook in the house? It's a female who cooks at home." What did he say? I feel that if she doesn't give guidance, Mrs. Song will snatch Sister Liu away.

Mrs. Song was so proud that she immediately claimed that she had it and delivered it soon.Song Hongyi always wanted to cover his face, as soon as his mother met Chishi, she would lose the dignity she usually pretended.

After sending the Song family away, the smile on Mrs. Wang's face never stopped, and she asked the butler to bring someone to check the betrothal gifts with the gift list, pick out the ones that could not be brought back as dowry, and discuss with Wang Xiujin what to make up for.

When it was time for dinner, Wang Zhiyuan asked curiously, "Are you done with my sister-in-law?" At lunch, Wang Xiuyun was too ashamed to go out, so she ate in her yard. Wang Zhiyuan asked her mother why her sister-in-law didn't come. Wang Chunshi replied that my sister-in-law's business is not over yet.Seeing my sister-in-law now, Wang Zhiyuan immediately asked about it.

"Your sister-in-law's business is too big, I'm afraid it won't be finished in a while." Mrs. Wang looked at her eldest grandson's small face, and she couldn't stop liking her.

"Ah! Doesn't that mean you can't play with me?" Wang Zhiyuan looked disappointed, "Sister-in-law, you have to do it quickly!" Wang Zhiyuan didn't know that there was something else in his grandmother's words, and he really thought that sister-in-law had something important to do.It's just that his appearance made all the adults overjoyed, Wang Xiuyun's face flushed again, she was extremely ashamed, but because of her nephew's childlike words, she couldn't help but want to laugh.
