Chapter Ninety-Seven: Stockpiling Grain

In the end, everyone didn't have a good idea, Guan Zhongmin saw that I hadn't spoken, so he asked: "Brother Yong, in terms of brains and ways to make money, I think it's better for your brains to use, it's better for you to decide." ”

As soon as everyone heard Guan Zhongmin say this, they all nodded and praised: "That's it, Brother Yong'er, let's decide, we don't have any good ideas." ”

"Isn't it, everything we can think of is what ordinary people can think of, or Brother Yong'er's brain, let him have the final say."

Seeing everyone say that, I think it's time for the fire.

After a brief analysis of the undesirableness of making a living just now, everyone is happy to accept it.

In the end, I said: "I think, first, to increase the production of oil extraction, and then find someone to expand the market for buying oil, so that more places know about our oil and come to buy our oil." ”

"That's right, these are only what we have, others don't, isn't it easy to earn this money."

"It's not, if you don't do this good business of buying oil, why do you have to do those headless jobs."

Everyone agreed.

"Also, I want to open a restaurant, so that we can directly welcome a large number of guests, and we want to use this restaurant as the flagship store, no, it is the meaning of the old store, based on Puzhou, radiating to the entire Datang, uh, that is, to open all the states and counties of the entire Datang, the capital, and make the business bigger." I continued.

This event won everyone's interest again, and the whole room was excited, and they kept saying that it was good.

"It's good to open a restaurant, then we will have our own restaurant to eat in the future."

"Not only can you eat by yourself, we can let everyone in Puzhou come to eat."

"Not only in Puzhou, but also in various places in Datang and earn money in Datang."

"Yes, with Brother Yong'er's craftsmanship and oil, our wine and food will definitely make people linger and be homesick, this idea is so good."

The whole room raised their hands in approval.

Suddenly, someone said, "Then we'll have to come up with a name." ”

"Yes, yes, it has to be a loud name."

"What's it called, I think it's called Eat Quartet, right?"

"It's not good, it's better not to get drunk"

"It's not good, it's still called, called, I don't know, you can say it."

There are all kinds of names, and there are even more bizarre. Although there are many names, they are all dissatisfied.

Everyone unanimously asked me to choose a name, and I thought about it and said, "Let's just call it Ranin."

Everyone quickly understood that the original name Lanyuan was the name of Lan Ge'er, and our small courtyard was called Lanyuan before, and many parents of students in poor alleys were also commonly known as Lanyuan, so I also think that there is nothing bad about Lanyuan.

Lan Ge'er's face couldn't help but turn red, and he was shy and silent.

The others also clapped their hands and said: "Yes, we don't have a ready-made name, why do we have another name, just call it Lanyuan, how atmospheric is Lanyuan." ”

With the unanimous consent of everyone, everyone decided, and the restaurant after that was called Lanyuan.

And the Lanyuan Restaurant is also on the periphery of the poor alley, and the two or three courtyards that I just bought came out as soon as they were opened up and slightly renovated.

That's what I mean, and I didn't think too far. I didn't think it would cost too much.

In fact, cooking oil and the business of the restaurant are not the focus of my mind. My focus is on harvesting grain.

After roughly calculating, investing in the oil business and the restaurant business only cost three or four hundred taels of silver. This kind of investment is nothing to people like us with deep pockets.

Therefore, when everyone still asked what good business could be done, I said solemnly: "At present, I want to tell you a very important thing, which is also whether business is not a business, if it makes money?" It may not make money now, but if you use it to make money, it can be exchanged for silver taels that you can't imagine. But, most importantly, it saves lives! ”

Qiu Dalang listened to what I said so mysteriously, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "What kind of business are you talking about?" ”

Others don't understand either. Only Guan Zhongmin seems to have understood.

I don't play dumb riddles either: "That's to buy food!" ”

"Well, what kind of business should I be, just buy grain. It's not a big deal. By the way, Brother Yong, how much food do you want to buy? ”

I said in astonishment, "Five hundred gold, at least." ”

"Ha, five hundred catties of food, it's also needed, after all, there are so many of us, and we still have to open a restaurant." Qiu Dalang still didn't understand what I meant.

Again, I repeated, "Five hundred taels of gold." ”

"Ahh Everyone was shocked.

Aunt Qin said: "I said Brother Yong, why do you want so much food, are we finished eating?" ”

Other people also persuaded: "Brother Yong, are you crazy, why are you buying so much food, who will finish eating." ”

Everyone tried their best to dissuade me from buying so much food. What is the concept of five hundred taels of gold, how many taels of silver do you have to exchange, and how many catties of grain do you have to exchange?

I said, "In the current situation, I can't finish eating, but when the time comes, I'm afraid I won't have enough to eat." ”

Everyone didn't understand what I meant, and they all looked at me expectantly.

After thinking about it, I felt that the current situation was not a leak, after all, Wang Xianzhi had already reversed.

I said: "You may not care, but I have been paying attention, according to my speculation, in the near future, the rebel army led by Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao will stir up chaos in the world, and then the soldiers will continue to fight and war, and the lives of the people in the world will be miserable. ”

……

After a moment of silence, Guan Zhongmin said: "If things are really as Brother Yong'er deduced, what must be lacking is food. ”

"It seems to be such a reason, but, Brother Yong, with Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao, can you make such a big move?" Qiu Dalang still didn't believe it.

Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin also didn't believe it: "Now that the Tang Dynasty is strong and strong, how can it be turned upside down by these inconspicuous rebels." Impossible. ”

I said, "Maybe it's impossible, maybe it's possible, maybe there's something I shouldn't say, but now it's all my own people, so I'll just say it." In fact, now the Tang Dynasty seems to be beautiful, but the emperor ......"

I wanted to say that the emperor was mediocre and traitorous ministers, but looking at everyone's expressions, it was obvious that they were more afraid of those words, and Lan Ge'er also kicked me silently under the table. I changed my words in time: "Although the emperor has the heart to govern the world, but I have internal and external troubles in the Tang Dynasty, and there are continuous natural and man-made disasters, and the people of the world are living in dire straits, and Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao's move is in line with the will of the people, so it is difficult to say what the world will be in turmoil. ”

Finally, I concluded: "I would rather have peace in the world and food rot than starve my family and siblings to death." ”

This sentence, like a heavy hammer, knocked on the hearts of everyone. made everyone's hearts tremble.

In fact, everyone is afraid of living a hard life, which one has never been hungry, so after thinking about it, he said: "Well, Brother Yong'er is right, we must not let the children go hungry again!" ”

In the end, everyone unanimously agreed, stockpile grain!
