Yang Yun said that he wanted systematic textbooks for the imperial examination, and Wang Ji sent them over.

Not a few, but a large box, although not all of them are new, but they are quite well preserved, and many of them are rare and unique books on the market.

Yang Yun did not refuse this kindness, he opened the box, took a few books out to take a closer look, and found that the printing was not as good as he imagined.

Before the Sui Kaihuang period, engraving printing appeared, at that time it was mainly used for printing statues, mantras, vows and almanacs, etc., after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, culture, science and technology gradually to the peak, to the Wu Zhou period printing has involved the classics, but because of the poor paper and ink, the quality of the printed books is uneven, the family disdains to use.

In the Kaiyuan period, with the rapid progress of technology, the printed books became more and more sophisticated, although they were still not as good as the manuscripts, but at least there was no ink stained with a piece of illegible handwriting.

"Movable type printing is also a lucrative business...... The restrictions of engraving printing are too great, the stereotype is time-consuming and laborious, and it is very difficult to modify the typos, and the whole plate is often re-engraved, so many books need to be completed over the years, and the storage of the plate after use takes up space, and it will be damaged due to external factors such as deformation, moth-eaten, and corrosion. Books that are not commonly used are wasted after a few uses, so if I have time, I can invent movable type printing. ”

Yang Yunfu wanted to join in and added another item to the things he wanted to do in the future, but he would not invest in research for the time being, Chengdu was just his transit station to Luoyang, and he would not stay here for too long, and the battle line would be too open to be closed.

In the evening, Yang Yun took the three sisters An Lun, Yarou and Yaqing out for dinner, and the three sisters were very familiar with each other at this time.

As the saying goes: Two women are equal to a thousand ducks, and three lively little girls get together to make it even more noisy, Yang Yun walked in front and was happy, but when he looked back at the three sisters, he found that they were talking and secretly looking at him, and when their eyes collided in the air, they all showed a bright smile on their little faces, and they were in a good mood.

Passing by the restaurant at the entrance of Quxiang, Yang Yun couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the door closed.

Out of Qu Lane, his eyes suddenly brightened, and after looking at the many flag sails, Yang Yun took the three girls to find a relatively good restaurant nearby and sat down.

Yang Yun has come to eat here before, and he feels that the dishes are not as good as Uncle Qi's, the stewed meat made by Uncle Qi already has the taste of braised pork in later generations, and the marinade made is also very distinctive, and a little training is an excellent chef candidate, which is also an important reason why he let Uncle Qi and his son go.

"Shopkeeper, don't you do that restaurant in Beiqu on East Street?"

Yang Yun asked casually.

The shopkeeper was very proud: "The location of that shop is not good, it is not on the street, who will go if it is not a regular customer?" Besides, who has nothing to do with the neighborhood? The purse can't bear it, can it? The source of customers was unstable, and the owner took back their storefront. ”

Yang Yun nodded, and then looked left and right: "Shopkeeper, your business here is good." ”

"That's it."

The shopkeeper straightened his waist and said, "But I also want a distinguished guest like the little boy to come more." ”

"Huh."

Yang Yun smiled and didn't say anything more.

The ordered dishes were quickly delivered, and Yang Yun put down his chopsticks after eating a few bites.

The stewed cabbage is bland and tasteless, the steamed fish is not known to be a problem with soy sauce and cooking wine, it tastes sour and unpalatable, the mutton soup is very fishy, and the mouth is full of mutton fat, and it is a mouthful.

Fortunately, the three girls ate very well, and they didn't waste it.

When he came out, Yang Yun thought to himself: "Originally, the food in this restaurant was not doing very well, but now that the competitors are closed, it is even worse...... Just let others appreciate your face and make you kick your nose in the face? ”

At this time, it was already dark, and the street vendors began to collect their stalls and go home, in this era there were no street lights, and it was dark at night, and the so-called night market was just the time when they did business at dusk.

Yang Yun inquired a little in the neighborhood and found where Uncle Qi's family lived.

Compared to the courtyard he rented, it was more like a slum, there was not even a door, low mud walls, and the situation in the courtyard could be seen directly from the outside of the courtyard.

The girl who begged him before is now washing clothes in a corner of the courtyard. Because of the poor family background, the family wore coarse linen clothes, which were very bulky after being wet, and it was particularly laborious to wash, and the girl was drenched in sweat and stretched out her hand to wipe her sweat from time to time.

"Anyone?"

Yang Yun asked.

The girl was startled when she heard this, and the wooden basin she was holding fell to the ground, and then she came out, opened the wooden fence, and looked at Yang Yundao: "Benefactor? ”

Yang Yun smiled: "It's an enemy, right?" ”

The girl's face turned red, and her head looked very embarrassed, which made Yang Yun realize that Uncle Qi's father and son were probably saying bad things about him in front of the girl.

Fortunately, what Yang Yun needs is their craftsmanship, otherwise it is really possible to leave with his sleeves brushed up.

Yang Yun said: "Don't you invite me to sit inside?" ”

The girl calmed down, wiped her hand on her body, and said, "Benefactor, please." ”

Yang Yun took the three sisters into the courtyard at this time, and had no intention of entering the back room, so he stopped and asked, "Your father and brother are not there?" ”

The girl's face was sad: "My father and brother went out to find a livelihood, and they haven't come back yet...... I lost money in business before, and I didn't pay back some famine, so I was afraid that I would not be able to return home until the door was closed. ”

"Hmm."

Yang Yun looked at the four corners of the courtyard, "This is your own house?" ”

The girl's face blushed: "We are not Chengdu locals, this small courtyard is rented." ”

Yang Yun asked, "You are obviously doing a good job in trading, why do you want to close the door?" Outsiders in Chengdu may not be able to find a good livelihood if they don't open their own stores. ”

The girl lowered her head: "What else else?" In my hometown, the land handed down by our ancestors was occupied by my uncle, and my father could only take us to the city to beg for a living...... The rent and the cost of ingredients are also high, and I can only barely maintain it for two or three years, and this year ......"

Yang Yun asked with a smile: "In this way, I hurt you?" ”

The girl hurriedly waved her hand, looking flustered: "No, no, the benefactor is kind to us, but our family is not blessed......"

Yang Yun said with a smile: "I want to do some small business here, but I can't come forward by myself, so I'm going to rent a shop and hire a few people to come over to help...... I wonder if you and your family would like to be hired by me? ”

"Huh?"

The girl looked confused.

Obviously, she couldn't understand why her family had offended Yang Yun before, and Yang Yun was not guilty in the past, so she invited their family to come to work.

Yang Yundao: "The salary is slightly higher than that on the market, but it also depends on the profit, if the business is done well, some money will be added as a bonus, and if it is not done well, the basic salary will be maintained...... As for me, as the owner, I hire you, and you don't need to worry about the cost anymore...... I don't know if you'd like to. ”

The girl's eyes were shining, and she wanted to agree immediately, but suddenly realized that she had no authority to make decisions for her father and brother, so she immediately lowered her head and whispered, "I...... I can't be the master, and I have to wait for my father and brother to come back and discuss. ”

"Hmm."

Yang Yun nodded, "Don't worry, I chose a conspicuous place for the new shop, at the intersection of the four streets of Leyanfang, the two-story building has been closed, I am thinking about renting it, and I will find someone to clean it up as a business place in the past two days." If you have a family figured it out, you can come to me. ”

The girl was overjoyed: "When my father and brother come back, I will discuss with them and thank the benefactor." ”

……

……

Coming out of the girl's house, Yang Yun took the three sisters home.

On the way, An Lun asked curiously, "Master, their family is not kind-hearted, why do they still use them?" ”

"If nothing else, just cook that good dish for them!"

Yang Yun responded with a smile, and said: "Besides, I have to be forgiving and forgiving, I can't come forward by myself to do this business, I must find an expert to come forward to maintain it...... Who do you not look for them? ”

I hung up a signboard of an immortal master, and it was impossible for me to come forward to open a restaurant in person. In this era, it is not so easy to find a suitable chef, Uncle Qi has a very good set of cooking, cooking and marinating are a must, and with a little dialing, you can also learn stir-fried dishes that were not popular until the Song and Yuan dynasties, and hiring this family is the best choice.

The key is that he has established his authority, and the family knows that he has a relationship with the government, and they will definitely not dare to play tricks, which is more certain than looking for someone outside.

"Why did you open a restaurant?"

An Lun propped his head, looking puzzled, and his big eyes blinked and blinked, very cute.

Yang Yun flicked his index finger on An Lun's head and said, "You little head melon is really stupid, who will we sell the wine we brew if you don't open a restaurant?" If such a good wine is only sold by others, isn't it all cheap? If we want to do it, we will do a one-stop production and marketing, and make money in all links. ”

The three girls heard it in a fog, but from the little eyes they looked at, Yang Yun felt a strong admiration, and his heart couldn't help but flutter.

……

……

Do what you say, and do your best.

Yang Yun noticed that there is a good two-story building at the intersection of East and West Streets and North and South Streets of Leyanfang, which is the most conspicuous building in the center of Leyanfang, but for some reason it has been idle.

But Yang Yun is willing to invest.

After finding the previous tooth and negotiating the price with the landlord, Yang Yun found that it was not expensive, and he could buy a small building with his capital, but he still gave up after thinking about it.

"With this money in hand, you can indeed settle down in Chengdu, if I want to live a life in Datang, this is a good choice, after all, the Anshi Rebellion, not to hurt the slightest bit of Shu, Chengdu will become more and more prosperous in the future...... But I, the future uncle of the country, how can I nest in such a small place? ”

The shop is negotiated, and the next step is to find someone to decorate.

Yang Yun didn't plan to delay for a long time, and was ready to open after simply cleaning up.

At this time, Uncle Qi and his son came to the door, and the girl came at the same time.

The staircase on the second floor, the location near the window.

Yang Yun sat on a wooden chair brought from Beiqu's house, and the father and son stood there listening to the teachings.

Yang Yundao: "What about this salary, according to the capitation, one person is forty wen a month, is there a problem?" ”

The father and son were a little surprised.

In these years, there are not many workers who directly give copper money, and Kaiyuan Tongbao has strong purchasing power in this era, and no matter how prosperous Datang is, more than half of the transactions on the market are bartered.

And Yang Yun's salary turned out to be more than what they used to earn by working hard every month.

And don't take any risks!

Uncle Qi asked with some excitement, "What does the owner mean...... January 80? ”

Yang Yun glanced at the girl: "Aren't you a family of three?" Your daughter counts as well. Oh yes, you guys can also come over before, but I only open 30 wen a month on his side to see if he is diligent. ”

Uncle Qi said honestly: "The owner, it's not the little old man who pours cold water, you do this business...... Not afraid of losing money? Although Leyanfang is prosperous, it is only one of the 120 squares in Chengdu, and it is not as rich as Fuchunfang, Jinguanfang, and Bijifang, and the purchasing power is limited...... I couldn't do it after only three months, I owed a lot of money, and finally hanged myself in the building...... This small building has not been rented out because it is unlucky. ”

Yang Yun knew why this building was so strategically located, but it had been empty there, and immediately smiled: "The transaction is mine, you don't need to think about profit and loss, if you lose money, I will stop the loss in time, anyway, you do things for me, don't owe you wages, and I'll talk about it later." ”

"Okay, okay."

Uncle Qi didn't discuss it with his son anymore, and agreed directly.

Yang Yun's conditions far exceeded their family's expectations, allowing them to leave all their worries behind.

Yang Yun said: "It is better to open sooner rather than later, and it will open in three days...... I'm ready to play something that doesn't have to be. ”

How Yang Yun wants to create a "sensational effect" and publicize it is not something that Uncle Qi's family can understand.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "When I made gunpowder in Shifang, I thought about making firecrackers, and now that my own business is open, why not take the opportunity to launch it?" This is the first show of firecrackers, and it will definitely have an extraordinary promotion effect, and when the time comes, there will be no publicity, and the whole city will know that there is such a new shop......"
