Yun'er also occasionally came to the cloth village to have a look, and even brought a few daughters-in-law to tell them in advance what kind of fabric they liked, and pay for their own money. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In fact, it's not that she can't afford it, but she doesn't want her daughter-in-law to develop the habit of getting something for nothing. In the future, you will think that you should take it for nothing, and once you will be unhappy if you don't take it for nothing.

Six beauties appeared in Yulong Cloth Village, none of them made a fuss, and none of them screamed, but the grass was already growing in their hearts, and they looked at such beautiful fabrics, how could they buy one or two pieces! Mailer, in particular, is about to jump high. asked Yun'er in a low voice: "Eniang, can I buy it?" ”

"Yes, you can. Hurry up, buy it, let's go back. "Yun'er is afraid that there will be the kind of disciple who can't walk when she sees a beautiful woman. None of his daughters-in-law were ugly. Even when she is a mother, she may be the object of Deng's disciple's drooling. So a few young grandmothers began to choose goods, and Yun'er's eyes paid attention to the gate, and she became an old hen guarding the chicks.

Exotic fabrics have become the biggest selling point of the prince's business, and "clothing, food, housing and transportation" are in the first place. Many silk and satin villages and cloth villages in the capital wanted to sell cloth in partnership with the prince, or sell cloth for the prince, but they were politely declined by Boss Chen of Yulong Cloth Village. Chen Ruiqian is the owner of the flagship store of Rui Wang Ye Buzhuang, and the shopkeepers of other stores have to ask Ruiqian for instructions on anything. Because Ruiqian is confident about the performance, type, price, and size of exotic fabrics. For this reason, the shopkeepers of the branch came to Ruiqian for explanation. Since the sixteenth year of Shunzhi, he began to operate exotic fabrics, and in the twelfth year of Kangxi, Ruiqian has accumulated considerable experience in operating exotic fabrics in the fifteenth year. He never dreamed that the small cloth village that could only maintain food and clothing back then would now become the largest cloth village in the capital.

The business of the Queen Mother's Restaurant is now booming, no matter upstairs or downstairs, the tables are full every day. The restaurant on the east side is a vegetarian section and the meat department on the west side. Don't look at the relatively low prices in the Qing Dynasty, but meat is very expensive, take the early years of Kangxi as an example, beef is 58 wen a catty, mutton is 73 wen a catty, and ordinary people really can't afford to eat meat. As a result, there are more customers in the vegetarian department than in the meat department.

It is not only the common people who come to the vegetarian department, but also monks, Taoists, Buddhist laymen, and Muslims who do not eat pork. The price of the food in the Queen Mother's Restaurant is very fair and low, which is a type of small profit and quick turnover. The more people come, the more profits there will be, just a little harder. The chef of the restaurant and the shopkeeper who serves the dishes are not afraid of hard work, and they can make money steadily, even if the hard work is worth it.

Meals in the upstairs private room are cooked in the upstairs kitchen, not in the same way as the hall below. There is also a vegetarian section and a meat section, which are located in the east and west parts of the staircase. The decoration of the room is relatively elegant and gorgeous. Each private room has a large round table, which can seat at least ten people. The people who come here to dine are either rich or officials, the hierarchy of the Qing Dynasty is still very strict, and the common people don't do it if you let him come up to the private room to eat, because the service fee here is much higher than that downstairs, there are tea, drinks, and toothpicks, small towels. The old lady and the young lady of the big family want to satisfy their hunger, so they come to the Queen Mother's Restaurant to eat. There are other things to talk about at the table, and it's easy to keep the door behind closed doors, as the walls are soundproof. The service upstairs is also much more thoughtful than below, and the shop juniors are all teenage handsome boys. If any of the guests have misbehaved in the face of the shopkeeper regardless of their faces, the plainclothes Imperial Forest Army soldiers who are waiting at the door will arrive immediately, no matter who you are, find a place to talk first.

As soon as you enter the gate from the outside, you can see the huge peony picture "Spring in Beijing", which makes people immediately feel full of spring, and the gorgeous peonies stretch their charming smiles in the spring breeze. The peony flowers are all flowers that open in spring, the tender yellow spring flowers, and the light green locust flowers, giving people a kind of refreshing and strong spring feeling.

The business of the restaurant is very good, it is open at the hour of the hour, and at noon, customers will occupy every table, and it is not uncommon for there to be waiting for a table. However, since it is a vegetarian department, most of them are civilians, and at most they have to serve five or six dishes, eat and leave.

The vegetarian dishes here are very authentic, don't look at the lack of meat, but they are delicious. From time to time, the water sign at the front desk of the hall is taken off one by two, which means that this dish is out of stock.

The price of goods in the Kangxi year, except for the year of natural disasters, has been very stable and low. The vegetarian dishes eaten by the guests who came to the Queen Mother's Restaurant were the cheapest dishes for five cents a plate, called chili dried tofu. The chili pepper is an exotic kind of horn pepper, cut into shreds, and dried tofu is shredded. Pour oil into the pot, put the green onion after the oil is hot, after the green onion is fragrant, add a little water to stew a little after stir-frying, so that the dry tofu is slightly rotten and watery, put the pepper shreds, put salt, monosodium glutamate, chicken essence, and a little water starch to thicken, out of the pot. It's easy and easy to eat.

There are many delicious dishes, such as dried shrimp and greens, fried shredded radish, fried shredded potatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, etc., all of which are very nutritious and economical vegetarian dishes. The people who eat this kind of food are generally farmers who go to the city to work for a short time. The dishes here are all fresh vegetables from the vegetable garden in the General's Mansion, eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, and beans are all freshly picked. Many people like to eat tomatoes mixed with sugar, boiled peanuts in salted water and other simple dishes. The slightly more expensive vegetarian dishes are dishes such as chisanxian and eggplant in sauce, which have a unique Kanto flavor.

In the dishes of the Manchu and Han banquets, there are not many thickening ones. But many of the vegetarian dishes in the Queen Mother's Restaurant are thickened.

Small profits and quick sales are one of the main business methods of the Queen Mother Restaurant. In addition, the chefs who cook are serious about making every dish, even if they are vegetarians, they are not fooled. It is very important to be clean, all the cooking utensils and cutlery are clean and bright, without a little oil stain and dust, and not a single fly or cockroach.

On a street in Dongzhimen, not far from the Dongzhimen gatehouse, there is a steel arch erected at the mouth of an alley, and the words on it are all welded with iron: "Food Street". The bungalows on both sides of the road here are all selling food, leading to the end of the alley. This is the newly built Ruiwang Mansion, and the word food is not used much in the Qing Dynasty, in fact, it is a snack street. It is very close to Dongzhimen, and many farmers go to the city every day to sell vegetables, work, and buy goods, and go out of the city in the evening. This food street is to stop the peasants who enter the city and let them fill their stomachs so that they will not go hungry. Many peasants had enough to eat on this street before going in and out of the city.

This is the snack street opened by Emperor Kangxi for his cousin Prince Ba. The snacks here are not limited to exotic dishes or dim sum, but also snacks brought by celebrity chefs from all over the country. There are Jiangnan-style snacks, Jianghuai flavors, Cantonese flavors, and Xinjiang flavors. Lu cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, etc., are all chefs who came to Mao Sui to recommend themselves to the Rui Palace, and they passed the examination and opened their businesses. Even the back kitchen, each snack bar is only 20 square meters in size. There are six or eight tables in the store, and the backstage owners here are Mrs. Runguo, the mother-in-law of Lord Rui, and her grandson, Prince Bae. Maybe some of the guests will be blessed to taste the wontons and snacks made by Mrs. Runguo or the baked prince. Then there is something to brag about.

The two other businesses that are side by side with the Queen Mother's Restaurant are also prosperous in business and rich in wealth. The Splendid Restaurant, which used to be almost unattended, is now full every day, although Westerners with big noses account for nearly half of the number, and the children of the official eunuchs in the capital also come here to join in the fun. The Qing people regarded Westerners as Yidi who drank blood and were uncivilized barbarians, and they felt that their food must be half-cooked or even bloody. Good deeds came to explore the way, and after being a spider eater once, they frequented this place. The Western food here is quite elegant, not only clean, but also delicious, and the price is not very expensive. What's even more surprising is that the waiters here are all Western Caucasian girls, with big eyes, white skin, speaking English in front of Westerners, speaking Chinese in front of Easterners, and speaking Beijing Mandarin very fluently. Westerners, in particular, appreciate and are very satisfied with the furnishings. If nothing else, the curtain is beautiful to home, it is a lot of ordinary large, white flowers connected together, blown by the breeze, fluttering, simply beautiful! There is also the vertical glass window, which has been wiped clean and spotless, and it is refreshing to look at!

There are many varieties of goods in the Yulong Commercial Bank side by side with the Queen Mother's Restaurant, most of which are daily necessities, and they are all novelty goods that the Qing Dynasty does not have: the plastic colored beads that have been favored by the young ladies in the capital, the young grandmothers and the girls of ordinary people in the capital are sold publicly, and each one is the weight of two taels. Erliang is calculated based on the weight of ten taels in an exotic land, which is much more than the two taels of the Qing Dynasty. From the beginning of the sixteenth year of Shunzhi to the present, the color beads have not been used to one-tenth of the total, and the method of selling the color beads factory director by two will definitely rot in the hands. There are also various beads that are used as jewelry materials, which are also becoming part of the jewelry body as soon as possible. There are also small gems and diamonds that Bing'er and Xue'er bought in exchange for barter, and from Nepal, which have been turned into jewelry and sold; There are also hot diamonds, rhinestones, and crystal glasses that are being sold in various ways......

There are many goods in hand, all kinds of thread, all kinds of cloth, lace, ribbon embroidery, daily necessities, stationery, cleaning supplies, all kinds of embroidery thread, toothpaste and toothbrush, seaweed iodized salt, matches, sugar, steel, starch, potted flowers...... Haven't sold half of them yet! Operations must be expanded, and sales must be accelerated!

For this reason, Yun'er proposed to the prince to increase the number of stores and expand sales. The goods that the citizens of the capital like are openly supplied. As a result, a number of shops suddenly appeared in the east, west, south, and north of the capital, selling all kinds of colored beads, exotic jewelry, socks, towels, cotton wool sweaters, t-shirts, shoes and socks worn by infants, etc., which are so popular with the women of the capital that they are ecstatic. There are also hundreds of consignees that divert the goods to the house, Mr. Chen's business disciples along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, Fujin, the dowry shop of the commander's wife, Fujin's cousin and relatives who do business in Jinan, Yun'er's cousin, uncle and cousin's father-in-law, and even Mr. Kaifeng's hometown are selling cloth, silk and chemical fiber cloth to the house. The goods are all Yun'er using the ability of air transportation, first transport them to the warehouses and warehouses run by the government in various places, and then the management personnel stationed in various places in the government will deliver these goods to the hands of the businessmen, so that they will not be surprised by the speed of the arrival of the goods. Even those managers don't know when the goods will arrive, so the process of waterway and dry road transportation can be omitted, saving a lot of transportation time. It's not that I didn't expect it before, but at that time, Yun'er's ability couldn't be used to the current level.

From now on, Fushang will no longer buy goods, but only sell. There is no external interference, no smashing of the field. However, all the people involved in business are still very nervous, there are too many things, for fear that one negligence will make a mistake. Everyone knows that these goods were exchanged for their lives by Wang Ye, Chen Fujin and General Manager Tian.

When those palace maids who came to Xuanwang's Mansion from the palace all married, some married to other places, and they could not participate in the processing of cloth when they left the capital, but most of them did not leave the capital, and these people continued to undertake the task of processing various fabrics, beads, and weaving for the house, but they did not live in the house. Like the women of the foreign office workers, they come to work on time every day.

After several years of exploration, research and experimentation, a variety of fruits, vegetables and grains such as red rich apples, kiwi fruits, sa white melons, cabbage, water spinach, lettuce, long-grain incense, and selenium-rich rice have also been successfully grafted into the rice bowls and vegetable baskets of thousands of households in the capital.

All the people in the two prefectures before and after were fighting to increase the silver taels to the treasury, and there was no government fighting smoke, but it was the harmony and mutual assistance of the whole government. However, there are also various vignettes that add some fun to the busy people.

"Boss, manager, go to the mansion gate and take a look, there is a Mr. Zhou who claims to be your father-in-law at the mansion gate and scolds you and Yu Gege." The little guy in the concierge ran out of breath.

"Mr. Zhou? Father-in-law? "The always wise manager of Tian University is a little confused. Yu'er's father died at an early age, where did the old man come from? But this little guy said it vividly, and no one couldn't believe it. But this old man is too much to wash the basin and don't know the depth, right? This is the palace, is it a place to curse casually?

"I'll take a look."

Sure enough, on the platform in front of the house, a middle-aged man in ragged clothes with eyebrows and eyes somewhat similar to a fish was scolding the street, and there were at least seven or eight old and young women and children in the same ragged clothes behind him. Fortunately, pedestrians are not allowed to pass through this street in front of the mansion gate, this is the nine-thousand-year-old mansion gate, and the people who hear the scolding on the street are also the gatekeepers, and no one is stupid enough to spread these cursed words.

"Who are you? Dare to stop me from entering! My niece and son-in-law are the housekeepers! I'm the uncle of the Steward! ”

It turned out to be Yu'er's uncle. Whether it's the eldest uncle or the second uncle, it's not a good cake. It's one of the two who sold the fish mother and daughter to the unscrupulous butcher! He also has a face to swear at the door! If you change the housekeeper in the house, you will also beat him up on the spot, but Tian Liang didn't do it, it's wrong to scold people, but if he is really Yu'er's uncle, beating the old man will not be on the spot. Let him fully perform, otherwise he will be an unfilial junior. In this era, even if it is no longer right to be old, you can't let the younger generations get rid of it. It seems that the uncle's family fled from somewhere, so it can't be picked up, Tian Liang doesn't want this kind of person to give the prince a hat of disliking the poor and loving the rich. The prince himself is not a person who hates the poor and loves the rich at all.
