Chapter 81: Amulet
"A few days ago, King Qin patrolled the hunt on behalf of the sky, and Weifu went to Jinyang City to observe the military and people's conditions, and he didn't expect to be assassinated by the Hu people outside Jinyang City, thanks to the help of Mr. Yang and everyone here, he was able to get out of danger......"
When Su Cheng said this, his face showed gratitude, and then he said: "King Qin is grateful for this kindness, because although he has left Jinyang City, he has always paid a lot of attention to Mr. Yang and others, and hopes to reciprocate. Knowing that Mr. Yang and others had come to the imperial capital, King Qin wanted to come to see him in person, but he was busy with affairs and it was difficult to separate. I was entrusted by King Qin to ask Mr. Yang to come over, because I wanted to ask if there were any difficulties that I needed help with? ”
Su Cheng's words revealed three meanings.
The first is that Zhao Bang, whom everyone in Yangjiazhai saved that day, is the third prince of Zhao who was named "King of Qin".
The second is that after King Qin returned to the imperial capital, through his forces, he has been paying attention to the actions of Yang Xu and other people in Yangjiazhai.
This kind of attention is not a kind of privacy or malicious surveillance, but a kind of kind care and covert protection.
The third is that Yang Xu and others are in this imperial capital, if they encounter any urgent and difficult things, King Qin will help them at any time.
The Three Princes...... King Qin...... That Zhao Bang, what a big deal!
Lao Tzu knew that the jade pendant carved with a dragon and a phoenix, and the person who could wear it must not have a simple identity!
Yang Xu couldn't help but reach into his arms and pinched the jade pendant that Zhao Bang had given him that day.
This jade pendant will be an excellent talisman in the future!
The excitement in Yang Xu's heart at this moment was indescribable, and he couldn't wait to stand up and dance and cheer loudly.
Fortunately, before he crossed over, he had been in the workplace for several years, and he had seen a lot of winds and waves, and he finally managed to control his emotions.
Yang Jingping was not shocked when she encountered an incident, but at this time, she was only slightly surprised.
And after Yang Dazhi knew that they were saving a prince who had been crowned king that day, the excitement on his face couldn't be concealed, and his breathing began to be a little short.
Yang Fugui saw that in the private room, he suddenly quieted down, and saw Yang Dazhi beside him looking excited, and he didn't understand that there was a recess, so he scratched his head inexplicably.
Although Thrush doesn't know much, he also knows King Qin or something, he is a very big official, and the Su Cheng in front of him is an official under King Qin, so he can't help but be a little restrained.
"Come on, let's talk while eating......"
Su Cheng is also a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing, talking and laughing with Yang Xu and others, and soon enlivening the atmosphere, and then inviting everyone to eat and drink together.
Yang Xu, Yang Jing, and Thrush chewed slowly, and their eating appearance was quite elegant, but Yang Fugui and Yang Dazhi rolled up their sleeves and ate and drank, and they lost their image completely.
Su Cheng didn't care either, and even praised the two of them for their heroic style, which was admirable.
"We really have some things that we need King Qin's help with......"
Yang Xu is not a mother-in-law, since he knows that King Qin intends to help, where will he be polite? When he was drunk, he told him about the difficulties he was experiencing.
After hearing this, Su Cheng smiled, looked around the private room, and asked, "How does Mr. Yang look at this Tianxiang Restaurant?" ”
Yang Xu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
Su Cheng thought that Yang Xu came from a small place like this, and he had never seen anything in the world, but when he first arrived at this Tianxiang Restaurant, he would be surprised by its magnificence, and then he was full of praise.
But what he didn't expect was that in the imperial capital and even the entire Zhao Kingdom, Tianxiang Restaurant, which is one of the top restaurants, Yang Xu's evaluation of it was actually only the word "Shang Ke".
And the word Shang Ke is probably "general".
As for Yang Xu, Su Cheng had only heard about it a few times from the mouth of Zhao Bang, the king of Qin.
In the mouth of King Qin, Yang Xu is not only literary and talented, but also quite talented in business, which makes Su Cheng, who is the head of the Qin Palace, a little curious about Yang Xu, who has never met before.
However, when he saw Yang Xu for the first time just now, he was a little disappointed in his heart, firstly, because Yang Xu was too young, and his words and deeds did not look like a well-educated person.
It's just that although he didn't think so, Yang Xu had a life-saving kindness to King Qin, and he was quite valued by King Qin, so he didn't dare to slack off, and put on a warm appearance on the surface, giving Yang Xu and others enough face.
But Yang Xu's word "Shang Ke" made Su Cheng feel a little unhappy in his heart, feeling that Yang Xu was young and vigorous, and his eyes were empty, thinking that he had opened a restaurant in a border town like Jinyang City, so he didn't take the world's restaurants in his eyes.
"I heard King Qin say that the Yang family restaurant opened by Mr. Yang in Jinyang City is very prosperous?"
Su Cheng asked with a smile.
Yang Xu smiled shyly: "It's okay!" ”
The smile on Su Cheng's face suddenly froze.
Tianxiang Restaurant, one of the top restaurants in the world, is only "acceptable" in Yang Xu's mouth, but he evaluates his restaurant as "okay", which is too obvious.
"But I don't know how the net profit of Mr. Yang's Yang restaurant is in January?"
Su Cheng asked again.
To measure the quality of a restaurant's business, in the final analysis, it is still to look at the net profit.
Some restaurants seem to be doing brisk business on the surface, but because there are too many expenses, they don't make much money, but the food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it, so they can only barely maintain.
And in the entire imperial capital, there are actually not a few restaurants like this.
Take this Tianxiang Restaurant as an example, after removing various expenses in a month, the net profit is actually about three or four thousand taels of silver.
Among all the restaurants in the imperial capital, this is already very good.
After King Qin returned from Jinyang City, he never forgot the food in the Yang Family Restaurant, so Su Cheng guessed that the Yang Family Restaurant should rely on the food to make money.
It's just that it is said that the best restaurant in Jinyang City is not as good as the medium restaurant in the imperial capital, even if the business is good, how much can it earn?
Su Cheng asked like this, and he also wanted to use this to hit Yang Xu and let him know what the sky is high and the earth is thick.
"Pure profit in January...... I didn't pay much attention to that...... Thrush, how much did we make a net profit last month? ”
Yang Xu looked sideways at the thrush sitting beside Yang Jing.
Yang Xu's Yang family restaurant in Jinyang City is almost all taken care of by people from Yangjiazhai, Yang Xu out of trust in Yang Xing, Thrush and others, usually does not check the accounts, that is, when a quarterly dividend, he will sit with Yan Feixue and Yang Xing and take a look at it casually.
As for the specific net profit of each month, to be honest, Yang Xu is not as clear as Yan Feixue.
As a full-time secretary by Yang Xu's side, Thrush is not only responsible for the procurement of the restaurant, but also helps Yang Xing manage the accounts and reports to Yang Xu regularly, so she knows everything about this.
Hearing Yang Xu's inquiry, Thrush sat up straight and replied with a little restraint: "Sir, our net profit last month was six thousand taels of silver......
"Six thousand taels?"
Yang Xu frowned, and thought about it carefully: "I remember last month's net profit, it seems to be six thousand taels!" According to the growth rate of our restaurant's profits, shouldn't it be more last month? ”
Thrush said helplessly: "Although our restaurant is full every day, there are always only so many guests. If we want to continue to grow in income, we can only expand the restaurant ......"
Yang Xu patted his thigh and immediately made a decision: "After I go back this time, I will buy all the shops around the restaurant and double the size of the restaurant!" Thrush, write this down, and go back to the military advisor to handle it. ”
"Yes sir."
The thrush nodded, took out a pen and paper from a small cloth bag he was carrying, and carefully wrote down Yang Xu's words.
