As the sun sets, the shops on both sides of the street have begun to hold their lights.

Xu Chen and Wang Tieniu had just come out of He Mansion and were walking on the street, so they could take advantage of the evening breeze to wake up.

"Iron Bull, go to the deli and weigh some meat for everyone to take home. ”

"Huh?" Wang Tieniu was a little surprised, because not long ago, Xu Chengang emphasized the importance of frugality.

"Don't 'ah', we can't eat meat and drink wine outside, let's nibble on the cakes, and then go to the pawnshop to redeem the hosta back." Today's matter is estimated to be done, and we will not lack this amount of money in the future. Facing Tie Niu's strange gaze, Xu Chen touched his nose in embarrassment.

"Big brother, can this really be done today?" Tie Niu looked shrewd, like a miser.

"Eight or nine is not far from ten, this matter is often beneficial and harmless to him, plus he has recently been a celebrity in front of Wu County Order, this is a trivial matter, Wu County Order will not refuse, besides, there is no such banner as Abbot Huineng!"

"Big brother, it's not good that we keep talking about the abbot like this. "For this benevolent abbot, Tie Niu still has respect.

"Well... The master is an outsider, and he will not care about such trivial matters. Xu Chen had no choice but to smile.

"Then can we receive the fishermen's taxes?" Wang Tieniu was born in poverty, and he always felt awkward about the exploitation of the toiling masses.

"Don't worry, we have received less than half of what they paid, and after the standardized operation, the income of the fishermen will also increase, and when we have capital in our hands in the future, big brother, I will use a little trick, and their life will only be better." ”

Xu Chen is not very worried about these, Yuzhang is a water city, most of the citizens like aquatic products, there was no special fish market before, so they had to catch it themselves, or find those who carry the burden to walk the streets and alleys of the merchants to buy, the aquatic market is still very large, wait until the Dongcheng fish market is established, specialization, standardized production, and then engage in an aquatic product processing workshop, those retail investors take what to compete.

After the supply channels are stable, we will pay to build a restaurant specializing in river fresh on the side, and make money with those marketing strategies in the 21st century.

"Big brother, recently, the gangs in other fangs heard that Sun Batian was dead, and they have already begun to think that we have infiltrated here. "Wang Tieniu is in charge of gathering intelligence, and he is always the first to know about these things.

"Don't worry, when we take down the establishment of the fish market fang, the 'Mandarin Duck Great Array' with iron weapons will not be comparable to these ruffians. ”

In the Tang Dynasty in the city, there were Wuhou and Fangding in each fang responsible for maintaining law and order in the fang, Wuhou was a regular employee registered in the county government, most of them were served by retired sergeants, equivalent to modern police, and Fangding was served by the residents of the fang, equivalent to the modern auxiliary police. Fangding is also qualified to wear iron weapons, but most of them are children of ordinary people, and they have not been trained, so they can hang more than a dozen pounds of iron knives everywhere, and most of them wear a wooden painted knife to make a appearance.

Of course, Xu Chen wouldn't do this, and finally had a formal establishment and could use weapons legally, so how could Xu Chen waste it?

In order to meet the turmoil in the near future, force is still necessary.

The two wandered out for a while, and then returned to the Imperial City Temple.

After telling the other brothers in the temple about today's harvest and distributing the meat they bought, Xu Chen found Lu Ying.

"Yingying, give, your hosta, return to Zhao. ”

"Thank you, Brother Chen. Since he refused to bow down on the day of the fight, Lu Ying saw Xu Chen with his head down and his face red.

Xu Chen, who is a second person, naturally knows what this means, but if he wants an uncle in his twenties to have some other thoughts about such a little Lori, he really can't do it, so he has to treat her as a little sister.

A few days later, the Wu County Decree approved He Chang's proposal to set up a fish market in Chongrenfang. After a few days of preparation, a plaque with the words "Dongcheng Fish Market" was sent to Xu Chen.

Xu Chen hurriedly joined He Chang in a vacant land near East Lake, next to the earthen wall of the original "Guancheng", and surrounded a piece of land with a bamboo fence. This place is only a few dozen steps away from Yuzhang New Town, and the transportation is convenient.

In the next ten days, Xu Chen led all the teenagers to spend almost all the money collected from Sun Batian, plus the funds allocated by the county to "Chongrenfang", and finally built the prototype of this Fang City.

In the northwest corner of the new city is a large civil and wooden archway, with two gates and a plaque wrapped in red cloth hanging in the middle. It is surrounded by a workshop wall made of earth bricks made of gravel, soil and straw stirred and dried, and there are bamboos inserted in the middle, which is a simple concrete made by Xu Chen using bamboo instead of steel bars, which is strong and durable, and a layer of green bricks is pasted outside, which looks quite spectacular. Near the East Lake, Xu Chen made a simple wharf and used some pulley components, thinking that the unloading efficiency could be improved in the future.

On this day, the "Dongcheng Fish Market" officially opened, Xu Chen got up early in the morning, after all, it was his first job in this world, and Xu Chen was still more attentive.

When I went to ask the abbot to say goodbye, I didn't expect the abbot, who had always been happy and quiet, to propose to participate in the opening ceremony, which naturally made Xu Chen's heart bloom.

When Xu Chen led the abbot to the venue, He Chang and several wealthy families in the "Chongrenfang" were already waiting there, and He Chang, who had some slight remarks about Xu Chen's lateness, immediately stepped forward and respectfully folded his hands in salute, and the unhappiness in his heart had already been thrown out of the clouds.

Then He Chang excitedly announced the completion of the "Dongcheng Fish Market" and unveiled the red cloth on the plaque. The appointment of the fish market officials was announced.

On the eve of the opening, He Chang found Xu Chen and asked Xu Chen to send someone to serve as the official of this city, but Xu Chen was surrounded by brothers who had been born and died with him, these were his solid team, how could he bind their future in such a small fish market.

Of course, Xu Chen was in the third excuse, and He Chang felt more and more that this young man would be a man, so he also said generously that Xu Chen would send Fang Ding to do the tax collection, and the daily account book would also be sent to Xu Chen first.

After the inauguration, the first batch of fishermen to settle in the fish market put their names on the officials' management books and received a tooth license to operate.

In order to deal with these fishermen and prevent the embarrassing situation of the fish market opening but no one settled in, as early as ten days ago, Xu Chen took the teenagers, under the banner of the Huangcheng Temple, to publicize it door to door, and also made a note with the fishermen in black and white to agree on the tax ratio to be collected.

The fishermen looked at the face of the abbot master and agreed to Xu Chen.

In the following days, Xu Chen led the brothers to get up early every day and take care of the fish market. With the specialization of management, the business of the fish market is getting better and better, and the stalls in the workshop are gradually occupied by new fishermen who have attracted them, of course, the rent of these latecomers is higher than the previous ones, but the booming business still makes the surrounding fishermen flock to it.

On this day, Xu Chen used the money earned from the fish market to let Tie Niu go to Yaxing to buy a nearby house, and Xu Chen and the boys finally moved out of the Huangcheng Temple.

As the fish market became more and more prosperous, Xu Chen's planned aquatic product processing workshop was also built, in fact, the fishermen on the East Lake usually pickle some fish and shrimp that cannot be sold, but the process is somewhat simple.

Xu Chen combined some of the methods he had seen before, combined with the existing materials, and also successfully made several special products, which were specially supplied to restaurants and wealthy families in the city.

In the end, Xu Chen used the money he earned to buy a restaurant in the workshop, and after a simple renovation, this previously unknown small restaurant was re-presented to the world in a refreshing way.

The new decoration, although it was a bit nondescript because the materials were not in place, but in the eyes of the Tang people at that time, this was already a novelty.

In addition, before the opening, Xu Chen ordered people to print and distribute leaflets, various preferential promotional methods, and the gimmick of only making aquatic products, which still brought a lot of popularity to the restaurant.

Seeing that there were more and more people in front of the restaurant, Xu Chen hurriedly instructed the shopkeeper to announce the news that on the first day of opening, each person would try a dish for free.

"Big brother, is this really possible? No, we're going to be devastated, right? For this restaurant, we've run out of cash. The money fan Tie Niu said.

"Alas... Third brother, can't you stop a little? You've asked more than thirty times!" Shi Lei muttered on the table, and from time to time he stuffed food into his mouth, these days, the young people have lived a comfortable life, and they have enough fish and meat every day, and they are all raised white and fat, especially Shi Lei, whose original concave face is now all bulging out, and it is bulging, so that Lu Ying can't help but reach out and pinch him twice every time he sees it.

"You're embarrassed to say that with you as a pot-bellied guy here, if I hadn't saved a little, I would have been eaten poor by you. ”

"When did the eldest brother's idea go wrong, right, boss" Shi Lei blushed rarely, and immediately smirked at Xu Chen.

"Eat yours, you can't stop your mouth if you have anything to eat. ”

"Don't worry, Tie Niu, the free dishes we launched today and the one-price specialties that will be launched in the future are some exquisite and delicious, but the portion is small, and when the guests finish eating, they find that the dishes are gone, and the roundworms in the stomach have been aroused, so they will order other specialties to eat, otherwise ordering ordinary dishes will only feel tasteless, and those specialties are to pay full price, so that we will put those guests who come in and just want to fill their stomachs and let them consume the price of at least one plate of specialties, and the more they eat, the more we earn。 ”

Sure enough, as Xu Chen expected, when the shopkeeper announced the first day of opening, after the news that each person tried a special dish for free, those idlers who were watching outside walked into the restaurant to order, and after they finished eating a dish, they were still unsatisfied, most of them ordered a special dish, and there were also people who wanted to steal and play tricks wanted to order more, but when each person entered the door, only a free wooden card was distributed, and if they wanted to get it again, they had to go outside to queue up again, but when they looked back at the long queue that could not be seen, plus the young man sent by Xu Chen to maintain order, he had to give up。 The pimpies in the "Chongrenfang" know that these young people are powerful, and even those Jianghu men who can do kung fu have been killed, and they don't dare to make trouble here.

Xu Chen's positioning of this restaurant is to specialize in aquatic products, and the price is only a little cheaper than the price of aquatic products in ordinary restaurants in the city, but the workmanship has worked hard, and it can naturally play a special role, and at the same time, because it only sells aquatic products, it will not hit the peers hard, and it will not cause the jealousy of other restaurants.
