Sure enough, a pedestrian who had just disembarked from the boat, at the warm invitation of the female chef, sat in the dining shed with a little hesitation and ordered a boxed lunch.

Huang Jingsheng is a smart person after all, he touched his chin, smiled, and said: "The reputation of the public is too stinky, and the common people are empty, and they are worried that they will encounter the trap of making money." ”

Li Zhongyi also summed up the lesson and asked some soap servants to change into civilian clothes and eat lunch in advance.

According to Li Zhongyi's rules, each of the soap servants only needs to spend four cents to eat delicious meals.

The soap servants who got the benefits were smiling one by one, and they crowded into the dining shed in groups.

You know, they go a long way to the town to eat a noodle soup with clear soup and little water, and it costs five cents a bowl.

People have a herd mentality, seeing that there are many diners in the dining shed, and some pedestrians who want to save money also come over to join in the fun.

Li Zhong is easy to feel, some people are worried about being deceived, and they ask vigorously, is it really full of money? After getting an accurate answer, the man paid five cents and made a meal.

There are no dishes in the dining shed, the dishes are all packed in the basin, and the bowl for eating is also a large porcelain bowl for a penny.

At this time, a passenger ship suddenly docked, and a handmaiden got off the boat, cautiously walked to the wooden fence gate, and asked the soap servant who guarded the door: "This duan dun has been invited, there are a few guests on the ship who want to buy some food and go back to the ship to eat, but they don't know if they can not charge the 'tax on Jin'?" ”

The soap servant didn't dare to call the shots, and hurriedly ran to report to Li Zhongyi, who laughed softly: "Sue them, you don't need to buy food on the boat, as long as it is not more than two doors, you will not be taxed." ”

After the guests on the passenger ship got the news, they still didn't dare to go ashore, and finally let the workers run several times in a row and bought eight "boxed lunches".

66 There are some pedestrians who have joined the team of selling boxed lunches,

In the blink of an eye, the forty "boxed lunches" that Li Zhongyi originally brought to the pilot were swept away. Because there were no cargo ships docking, the idlers who worked as Lifu had not made any money and did not dare to buy food to eat.

Li Zhongyi stood by the window of the office on the second floor of Zinca and saw this scene, and couldn't help but smile slightly, one is cheap and eight loves, and the two who don't love are either local tyrants or have no money.

Seeing the number of people in line, there were gradually more and more people, and the eight female chefs had to bring the prepared dinner materials.

Huang Jingsheng handed the teacup to Li Zhongyi's hand and said with a smile: "The villain has figured it out." A bowl of noodle soup in the town is five cents, and there is not much meat, but the dishes in our dining shed are full of oil and water. ”

"Well, what else?" Li Zhongyi took a sip of tea and asked Huang Jingsheng with a smile.

"In addition to beef bones, sheep bones, mutton fat, and butter, the rest of the vegetables or rice are bought directly from farmers in large quantities, which is at least two-thirds cheaper than in Kaifeng City." The more Huang Jingsheng spoke, the more excited he became, "According to your instructions, the beef and mutton and bones can be frozen with miscanthus and stored in the cellar of Zinca for at least five days, and the cost will naturally be saved." ”

Huang Jingsheng looked at Li Zhongyi with admiration and said: "If I think about it, as long as I make my fame, any passenger ship or cargo ship that passes by our Jinka at noon or before dark is very likely to come ashore to eat, anyway, I don't have to pay taxes if I don't go out." ”

The corners of Li Zhongyi's mouth curled slightly, and he said: "Then use your name to buy nearly 1,000 acres of wasteland near Jinka." Mind you, I only need to recognize the wasteland where you can't grow food and vegetables, not the best paddy fields. ”

"Do you want to build a warehouse?" Huang Jingsheng has been with Li Zhongyi for a long time, but he has also learned some business knowledge.

"Hehe, what is a warehouse?" Li Zhongyi laughed, "My son wants to build a large bazaar and a wholesale market for all kinds of commodities. ”

"Bazaar? Batch market? Huang Jingsheng touched his head, after following Li Zhongyi for a long time, he could often hear some inexplicable new words.

After waiting for the noon meal, Wang Youde counted the number of boxed lunches sold, and reported to Li Zhongyi with a smile: "Back to Li Gong, I bought a total of 200 meals at noon, most of which were bought by guests on passing passenger ships. ”

Li Zhongyi nodded, because there were many passengers on the passenger ship, it was inconvenient for the Hun family to cook, so most of them chose to go ashore to eat.

These passengers, that is, Li Zhongyi's principal-guaranteed customers, as long as they have bought 200 copies, the excess is profit.

Yesterday alone, according to the statistics of the entourage, there were more than 4,000 boats of all kinds passing through Xiaoyaojin on the Bianhe River.

Among them, there were grain ships from the Jianghuai region, cargo ships from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and merchant ships, passenger ships, and cargo ships from all over the country, all of whom wanted to eat.

Aside from a group of people who have houses and food to eat in Kaifeng, Li Zhongyi believes that many outsiders will definitely gather here as long as they know the power of the boxed lunches here.

Before dinner, Li Zhongyi deliberately arranged a few fishing boats and hung the huge "five pennies are full" banner on the sails, which swayed back and forth on the not very wide Bianhe River, which really attracted the attention of many passing boats.

A few soap servants who are proficient in water are sitting on fishing boats, shouting over and over again the slogan "five pennies are full".

The result surprised Li Zhongyi, and there were as many as ten passenger ships passing by at once. The passengers on the ship, after watching the food in the canteen, did not say a word, and paid money one after another to prepare for dinner.

Seeing the soap servants who helped wash and hot the dishes, busy and messy, Li Zhongyi couldn't help but be secretly annoyed.

He still missed a little, and he didn't prepare enough dishes and chopsticks, as well as a wooden basin for washing dishes. In addition, because there are so many tourists coming in at the same time, there is not enough rice.

So much so that a large number of passengers who have paid are waiting for the dishes and chopsticks to be washed before they can eat.

At this time, Huang Jingsheng's improvisational su zhì was fully displayed. While arranging for his subordinates to go to the town in a carriage to borrow or buy dishes and chopsticks, he also asked people to urgently go to the fields to buy urgently needed supplies.

Li Zhongyi nodded secretly, beside him, he should have looked at things and did things, not like abacus beads, dialing it before moving.

After some scrambling, after it was completely dark, the last group of diners was finally sent away.

Wang Youde, who is in charge of managing the accounts, calculated for a long time, and finally figured out today's purchase and sales accounts.

Li Zhongyi felt a headache when he saw the dense record ledger, he simply didn't bother to read it, and asked Wang Youde to summarize it for him.

"Back to Li Gong, today's two meals sold a total of 580 servings. The cost of each serving was three denarii, and the total profit was five hundred and fifty-four denarii, excluding the brothers' preferential pennies and the cost of hiring a fishing boat. Wang Youde's arithmetic is okay, and his speech is clear, "Gong Li, your tricks are really powerful, and the villain admires them tightly." ”

"Well, the brothers have also worked hard, so let's divide ten cents each." Li Zhongyi knew very well in his heart that the emperor did not send hungry soldiers.

Today's business is so hot, and all the soap servants have also changed shifts to participate in it, and there is no credit and hard work.

"Take fifty wen yourself. The rest of the money will be kept by you, and you will arrange for everyone to purchase all kinds of materials tomorrow. ”

How much money is that? Li Zhongyi naturally didn't take it seriously, and asked for Wang Youde to toss, and by the way, he could see his nature clearly.

"Ahh Wang Youde never dreamed that Li Zhongyi would hand over the most oily and watery procurement to him, "Thank you Li Gong for your trust." ”

Li Zhongyi knew very well in his heart that Wang Youde, as the highest deputy of Xiaoyaojin, should also be given some space for him to operate by himself.

In fact, Li Zhongyi has noticed today that this Wang Youde is a caring person, and he has been silently paying attention to the operation of the entire dining shed.

handed over the details of the dining shed to Wang Youde to deal with, and Li Zhongyi just had his hands free to do big things.

The commodity batch market must have a business venue first, and only after the publicity is good, will there be merchants to settle in.

According to the concept of bonded zones in later generations, as long as the goods are circulated in the inner part of Xiaoyaojin, they can not pay taxes.

In this era, whether it is Hou Zhou or Hou Shu, the commercial tax is generally low, generally 20 taxes and 1, that is, the tax rate of 5.

The issue of tax rate is not something that Li Zhongyi, a petty official of the nine grades, can control, but he can expand the tax source to increase tax revenue.

Whether it is a passenger ship or a cargo ship, when eating cheap meals, let the small businessmen have a suitable occasion by the way to exchange business with each other, this is what Li Zhongyi wants to do at present.

The big businessmen of this era were generally very wealthy, and it was impossible for them to stop their ships and come to a small place like Xiaoyaojin to eat cheap food.

Li Zhongyi's goal is actually the proprietors of small and medium-sized businesses inside and outside Kaifeng City.

These people have small profits, and when they take goods from big businessmen, they often have to be deprived of a large part of their profits, which is not cost-effective.

It is these businessmen, like Liu Dongming, who are not afraid to travel a little longer to buy goods in order to save some profits from between their teeth.

As for the big tycoons, most of them have hard backers, and Li Zhongyi can't afford to provoke them at the moment, so it is impossible to snatch food directly from the mouths of these big tycoons.

The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, not in a hurry, let alone recklessly, Li Zhongyi must be patient.

With the first day's business at the bottom, Wang Youde was full of energy, and early the next morning, he took a few soap workers to the fields to buy fresh things and came back.

Li Zhongyi only carefully told one thing, and he must not buy a privately slaughtered cow that has not been approved by the government. Moreover, when buying cattle, you must find Lizheng, neighbors or something, and be a witness.

Ploughing cattle, an important means of production, whether in Hou Shu or Hou Zhou, is strictly forbidden to slaughter privately. Anyone who dares to violate the ban is a serious crime as long as he is caught.

Li Zhongyi's current identity is rather embarrassing, and he must be cautious in everything, and he can't let Zan Jurun seize the handle. r1152
