Chapter 31 This is a regular restaurant
The most ruthless restaurant in the imperial capital!
Although it was dark, there were many guests inside, and there were at least seventy or eighty people eating and drinking inside.
Originally, wine is very profitable, and they can't just drink alcohol, especially if it's such a strong wine, so the food must be eaten.
In this way, a table of meals is indispensable for more than one or two hundred yuan, so just eating food every day can also bring a lot of income.
Coupled with the wine, it basically brought Chen Xiao more than two or three hundred taels of silver a day.
After opening for four or five days, I have already earned a thousand taels.
Such a speed of making money, looking at all the restaurants in the imperial capital, few can surpass it.
After settling the accounts, the fat man couldn't open his eyes with a smile, and hurriedly said to Chen Xiao, who was sitting behind the counter:
"Brother Chen, in five days, a total income of more than 1,200 taels, excluding the cost of brewing materials and meals, we will net nearly 1,000 taels!"
Chen Xiao smiled: "Basic operation, don't be excited." ”
On the side, Long Jiuling took a sip of red wine and said with satisfaction: "Didn't you count the money for red wine?" ”
"No, there is not much red wine, and it is only a hundred taels of silver sold in total." The fat man said.
Long Jiuling was dissatisfied, as a propagandist of red wine, how could he not make more red wine?
Glancing at Long Jiuling's complexion, Chen Xiao said to the fat man: "You have to recruit some women to make a lot of red wine, and women's consumer groups cannot be ignored." ”
After the fat man wrote it down, he said comfortably: "Oh, if it goes on like this, we will be considered rich people in the imperial capital in the future, and this money, but we earn it ourselves, we are excited when we think about it, we have to have fun." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Chen Xiao and asked, "Brother Chen, what do you say we should have a good time with?" ”
Chen Xiao rolled his eyes: "Play with a bird!" ”
Fatty: "Huh? Yes, play with a bird, rich people play with birds! ”
Chen Xiao was speechless, and then a guy next to him spoke: "Yes, rich people play with birds, and those who don't have money play with chickens." ”
Chen Xiao glanced at this guy, the young man had something to say......
was chatting about the day, outside the restaurant, two people got off the horse.
Among them, the middle-aged man with the face of the national character in front of him is really the emperor of this dragon country.
Although he deliberately dressed very ordinary, the temperament on his body could not be changed no matter what.
Behind him, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, dressed in regular clothes, spoke: "Your Majesty...... Sir, this is it! ”
"Hmmm......"
The emperor nodded, then slowly approached the door, with a dark face, and looked inside, he saw Long Jiuling sitting on a chair talking and laughing with Chen Xiao, and even sometimes laughing, and the two big eyes became crescent-shaped.
The emperor's dark face, unconsciously, also smiled.
"This girl, follow me...... I've never laughed like that, and I don't know what that kid is capable of. ”
Saying that, the taste in my heart is even more uncomfortable, and I feel like the flowers carefully raised at home have been gnawed by wild boars.
"Master, do you want to call the ninth princess over?" The Janissary commander asked.
"No, let's go, go in and find a private room!"
The emperor said, walked into the restaurant, followed the stairs, and reached the second floor.
During this period, there were people coming in and out of the restaurant, and Chen Xiao and Long Jiuling didn't see the emperor at all.
When he arrived on the second floor, the emperor entered the private room alone, and immediately ordered a few signature dishes, ordered a few jars of wine, and said to Xiao Er:
"Can you call your boss for a moment?"
At the counter, Xiao Er said: "Boss, there is a rather temperamental guest above, let you go!" ”
Chen Xiao got up and went to the second floor.
Looking at the commander of the Praetorian Guard outside the private room, he made a gesture to Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao nodded, and entered the private room.
As soon as I entered, I saw the sitting guest and arched my hand: "What is the matter with the distinguished guest?" ”
"Oh, it's okay, I just heard that the boss is a young man, and I really want to make friends, and the boss won't lose face, right?" The emperor asked.
"If you come to the door as a guest, how can you not give face to the guest." Chen Xiao smiled.
"In that case, sit down, let's chat and have some wine. Of course, don't delay your business, you chat and drink with me, and I'll pay you. The Emperor said.
Chen Xiao couldn't help but take two steps back, looked at the emperor with strange eyes and said, "That, uncle, I'm a man......"
"I know, what's wrong?" The emperor asked.
Chen Xiao took a deep breath. Gasp: "The taste is unique...... But I don't do escort services...... We are a regular restaurant, and I am a serious person. ”
The emperor said, "Just drink and chat with me, and give you an extra thousand taels!" ”
Chen Xiao sat down: "There are many people who don't have money, mainly because they like to chat and drink!" ”
As he spoke, Chen Xiao took the initiative to pour wine, as if he was a wine lady.
The emperor was stunned by Chen Xiao's contrast, and then picked up the wine glass and said, "I heard that this wine is very strong? ”
"That is, if you don't believe you drink it, I guarantee that if you drink this wine, you will find that what you drank before was urine!"
The emperor took a sip, then frowned, swallowed the wine, and said, "It's like drinking a mouthful of fire, and it's really a strong wine." ”
"Then I can still lie to you, by the way, didn't you mean chatting? What do you want to talk about? Chen Xiao asked.
"It's nothing, just talk about it, by the way, I heard, you're a showman?"
Chen Xiao nodded: "That's right!" ”
"The imperial examination is imminent, you don't go to the exam?" The Emperor finally asked questions that had been going on for days.
Chen Xiao said: "Test! ”
"Then you're still in business, don't you study well?" The Emperor asked again.
Chen Xiao said: "There is no conflict, I am fully sure that I will lift people, and by the way, do business." ”
Oh, look at him crazy, even if the business is successful, even if the imperial examination is completely certain?
The emperor wondered if this kid was the Chen Xiao that the Praetorian Guards had told him.
The two pushed glasses and changed glasses, drank some wine, and chatted a lot.
In terms of language, Chen Xiao almost did not have the elegance of a literati, but his tone was frivolous and his language was vulgar.
Even the emperor doubted that the song on wine and other poems were his work.
So, he said, "I heard that your poems are good, can you compose a poem in the current background?" ”
Chen Xiao smiled, so he said: "Don't say it, there is really a sentence related to wine in my mind: If there is wine in life, you must be drunk, and a drop of it will go to Jiuquan." ”
The emperor's eyes lit up: "It smells like that!" ”
This is another poem with a similar meaning to the song of wine, the first sentence is heroic, and the latter sentence sighs.
The emperor nodded and said, "Okay, good poem, we've been talking for an hour, and I have to go!" ”
After determining Chen Xiao's poetic talent, the emperor was also relieved, but the time was not early, he had to go to court early the next day, and it couldn't be too late, so he was ready to leave.
Chen Xiao sent him out of the house, and the commander of the Praetorian Guard took out a thousand taels of silver tickets and gave them to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao's eyes lit up, and he personally sent the emperor out of the restaurant.
Seeing the emperor coming on horseback, Chen Xiao said again:
"Riding a horse? Then I'll send you another poem: Drink and don't ride a horse, be safe for you, me and him, ride a horse and drink alcohol, turn around and die the whole family! ”
The emperor's expectant expression was stunned for a moment, yes, there was another taste.
