I sold snacks in ancient times

This reminded Qi Yongfan of the unknown story written in history books, hundreds of years ago, a celebrity Mr. Ma Yun who created the Internet era in China.

At that time, a certain man surnamed Cai had an annual salary of 70 US dollars. After meeting Ma Yun, he made a move that shocked the world. He resigned and followed Ma Yun!

You must know that Jack Ma at that time had not yet been recorded in history, he was just a small boss who could only offer a monthly salary of 500 yuan.

Qi Yongfan felt that Wang Kui's move to join Xiaxing Tavern was quite similar to the above historical events.Fortunately, he had memorized the entire millennium history of China. As expected, taking history as a mirror, his IQ has increased a lot...

But for now, Wang Kui is still the owner of the Longyou Tavern on the verge of bankruptcy.

Qi Yongfan discussed with him about the future development direction of Xiaxing Tavern. The first mode is to open chain stores.

Wang Kui didn't understand the literal meaning of chain stores at first, but under Qi Yongfan's explanation, he suddenly realized: "It's the same as Longyou opening branches all over Yuechuan County."

"Almost." Qi Yongfan said: "I hope to open a main store in Yuechuan County, which will be operated by you. I am only responsible for providing money and dishes, and you will register the store. You can make decisions in all aspects , On the surface, you are also the boss, but the money I earn is mine, and part of it will be returned to you as wages."

Sure enough, as Qi Yongfan expected, Wang Kui joined Xiaxing Tavern not for money.Perhaps like the man surnamed Cai, it is more fun to start from a new starting point?

Wang Kui could only agree.Looking at Qi Yongfan's handsome appearance, his evaluation of this person has risen to another level.Originally thought that the other party was a cat that could be handled, but unexpectedly it was a male lion.

It takes a lot of money to open a store in Yuechuan County, and he thought Qi Yongfan couldn't afford it, so he could take advantage of it.

As a result, Qi Yongfan returned home, immediately took out six huge gold bars from his pocket, and asked him: "Is it enough? If not, I'll go get it."

The corner of Wang Kui's mouth twitched, thinking that such a large piece of gold bar might be worth several hundred taels of silver... He just took three pieces. After all, the land in Yuechuan County is expensive, "This is enough, and I will return you when there are more."

"and many more."

Qi Yongfan took out an improvised contract and asked him to sign it.

There is still a need for vigilance.

Wang Kuili signed his name, pressed his fingerprints, and said with a smile: "Brother Qi, don't worry, I'll go back to Yuechuan County tomorrow morning. This Longyou Tavern doesn't have much business, so I might as well give it to you. Look at your usual There is no place to sit in the shop.”

Qi Yongfan scratched his head, "It's not very good, I bought it with money?"

"The title deed of the Longyou Tavern is not in my hands, and my father doesn't know about it anyway, so I just lent it to you." Wang Kui said, "You are my boss, feel free to squeeze me dry!"

Qi Yongfan: "..." Entering the role of an employee so quickly?

When other bosses meet employees like Wang Kui, they probably wake up laughing from their dreams.He doesn't need money, but also contributes to his own property, and even only receives a few dozen taels of dead wages every month...

It made Qi Yongfan a little bit uneasy.But when he thought about it carefully, it was nothing. After all, he was a capitalist, and he was destined to squeeze the blood of the employees and eat the flesh of the common people, otherwise he would not make any money.

Wang Kui did what he said, so he fired the waiter and chef in the shop that night, handed over the key to Qi Yongfan, and took a carriage to Yuechuan County early the next morning.

……

The area of ​​Longyou Tavern in Nanshan Town is twice that of Xiaxing Tavern.And it has two floors above and below, adding up to four times.

Although the decoration inside the store is a little old, the wood used for tables, chairs and furnishings are all high-quality.

Moreover, it is only a few steps away from Xia Xing Tavern, so it is a perfect place for people.

Qi Yongfan asked someone to take down the signboard of "Longyou Tavern".After noon, when there are no more seats in the store, let Qian Ping lead the customers to the opposite side.

The guests didn't know why, so one of them shouted: "Is your store still in business? Are you going to take us to Longyou for dinner?"

"I want to swipe my membership card today, don't go to Longyou!"

"What the hell are you doing..."

Qian Ping explained patiently: "Longyou Tavern now belongs to our Xiaxing Tavern. I took you there because there is no room for you in the restaurant."

Everyone was stunned.

"When did Longyou close down?" A certain guest asked weakly.

Qian Ping: "Just yesterday."

Everyone: "..." Xia Xing Tavern is awesome.

……

Seeing the weather getting hotter day by day, Qi Yongfan couldn't hold back his desire to sell cold drinks.However, taking out popsicles for sale is too frightening to the world, and it is easy to melt.

He thought of a compromise method, selling fruit for fishing.

Fruits were rare in ancient times. Except for the sour plums that could be picked everywhere on the roadside, the peaches and plums sold in the market cost fifty or sixty yuan a catty, which was much more expensive than vegetables.

It can be seen that selling fruits can also make huge profits.

However, at the turn of spring and summer, there are not many fruits in season.There are fewer fruits in the south of Great Yin, and there are only oranges, peaches, plums, and watermelons that turn over and over throughout the year.

Occasionally, a peddler would pass by here to sell apples, which were extremely expensive, and only people from such wealthy families as customs officials could afford them.

In Dayin, apples are called "Nai", which have a soft taste and are grown in the southwest region.

Coincidentally, there are several kinds of canned fruits in the warehouse of Qi Yongfan's snack cart.Modern fruits that have been tested in space are extremely sweet, and these vacuum-packed, additive-free sugar water fruits are very popular among consumers.

Qi Yongfan made an inventory, and there were six kinds of canned food, canned pineapple, canned peach, canned yellow peach, canned orange, and canned apple.

In today's season, only canned apples and assorted cans are available for sale.

In the afternoon, after taking a nap and waking up, Qi Yongfan unscrewed the tin can, poured out some apple cubes and sugar water, divided them into two cups and took them to the next door.

The canned food was hung in the well water for a whole day, and it tasted very cool.

Qi Yongfan prefers to eat fresh fruit, he took a peach and chewed it happily.The ancient fruits were not very sweet, but they were more authentic than the original ones. He actually felt that they were a bit tastier than the sweet ones in modern times.

Maybe he has a unique taste, preferring sweet and sour taste.

Yin Xu was eating apple and fruit soup, basking in the sun comfortably.

Qi Yongfan asked him: "What do you think of selling it in a store?"

"It tastes good." Yin Xu said, "But apples are so expensive, are you sure people in Nanshan Town can afford them?"

"This is really..." Qi Yongfan slapped his head, thinking that he could only sell it to those peddlers.

"You can go to the vegetable market and buy some cheap fruits, such as peaches and plums, cut them into pieces, and then sprinkle them with sugar water. I think they will taste similar."

Qi Yongfan thought that Yin Xu was quite smart, so he really shouldn't underestimate the IQ of the ancients.He thinks this idea is very good, and it can increase some income by using it in the store in Crescent Town.

He also has jars of salad dressing in his car for fruit salads!

After a while, Yin Xu finished eating the apples.He smacked his lips and looked at Qi Yongfan, "Is there any more?"

His gaze was so pitiful that Qi Yongfan couldn't bear to refuse, subconsciously said: "Also, I'll get it for you when I get home."

After eating the leaves, he wiped his mouth and took the cup to wash.

Yin Xu narrowed his eyes and said, "Is there any more iced milk tea from last time? I'll buy another cup."

"They're all neighbors. Talking about money hurts feelings." Qi Yongfan waved his hand and went back to make milk tea for him with an empty cup.

The fragrant milk tea powder has undergone a mighty reform as early as a hundred years ago.

Most of the girls in their era suffered from a disease, which was medically diagnosed as milk tea addiction syndrome.

Under the attack of the global Internet, physical stores have closed down one after another.But the milk tea shops have risen strongly. For example, chain stores such as Two Points, Heilongtang, and Koukou have blown towards the Chinese mainland like a gust of wind, taking away countless money.

Under such circumstances, the low-priced Xiang Piaopiao was hit hard, and was even on the verge of bankruptcy.

Fortunately, with advanced technology, Xiangpiaopiao headquarters quickly developed a delicious milk tea powder that surpassed all major milk tea shops, and sales soared.

This brewed milk tea is extremely delicious.Qi Yongfan added ice cubes and rolled it to warm, then added some chopped pudding into it.

There is no pudding in the warehouse.The only pudding was bought by Qi Yongfan and kept in the refrigerator. It is non-renewable, and it will be gone after eating.He didn't like it very much himself, and he didn't want to waste it, so he planned to give it to Yin Xu.

Then I made two cups of apples and took them together.

Yin Xu ate very happily. He seemed to like the pudding pieces in the milk tea very much. He picked them out with a spoon and licked them bit by bit.The tongue is stained with fleshy milk, as if being stirred into a pool of ambiguous muddy water.

Qi Yongfan looked away without any trace, and said lightly: "I'll go back first."

"Wait a minute." Yin Xu hurriedly put down his glass, and said anxiously, "I have something for you!"

"Huh?" Qi Yongfan looked blank.

Yin Xu asked Ye Zi to fetch things from the house, put them into his arms, and said, "These days, there is a spring poetry meeting in Yuechuan County. I want to invite you to participate, and I will give you a set of pens and inks."

Qi Yongfan thanked him with a pile of pens, inks, papers and inkstones.Da Yin's writing is similar to that of modern times. Although he is not good at writing, it is easy to recognize.

In a way, he is also illiterate.

During this period of time, he was busy opening a shop to make money, and never considered the issue of literacy.He is a bit self-defeating, after all, as a businessman, he cannot take the imperial examination.

However, "Qi Yong" is the number one student in the imperial examination. If he is found illiterate one day, he will definitely show his flaws.

Qi Yongfan was thinking about when to buy a few books to secretly study by himself, immersed in his own world, and didn't listen carefully to what Yin Xu was saying.

"It's really decided." Yin Xu said: "You can't be absent at that time, and you can prepare poems in advance in the past few days."

Qi Yongfan: "...what?"

Yin Xu: "The Spring Poetry Meeting, I just told you about it."

Qi Yongfan: "Oh, I won't go."

Yin Xu: "......!!!"
