Chapter 63: To Each His Own Mind
The second paragraph is not as big as the first paragraph, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing are looking for a benefactor on the shore of the West Lake, Bai Suzhen saw Xu Xian on the broken bridge, and then tested it several times, causing everyone to snicker, and also set up Xu Xian's honest and honest image, and then there is a classic duet between Qin Han and Xiaoqing on the canopy boat, the beauty of its voice attracted a full house of people with a look of intoxication, and then it was Xu Xian's encounter with Bai Suzhen in the canopy boat, this paragraph made everyone put into it, It's as if you've met a beautiful woman and said goodbye to each other, which is wonderful.
When they heard Yang Laohan's sentence 'Qingbomen has arrived', everyone couldn't help but have a sense of regret with the plot, and then, under Xiaoqing's laughter, Bai Suzhen's longing for gains and losses and Xu Xian's inferiority complex and love were all conveyed to the audience, until finally Xu Xian snatched his kiss, went back to the house with Bai Suzhen, and sang a duet with the husband and wife of the flower candles in the cave room, which made all the audience smile, and this second paragraph was over.
However, when the curtain was put on the last layer, Xiaoqing's actors Yao Hongsleeve and Qin Han came on stage again, sang a love affair to everyone, and told everyone that the legend of the white snake is not over yet, and this is only the first time, and there are more than a dozen times later, five days later, Wangjianglou will stage the second time, in these five days, Wangjianglou will stage the first singing segment at lunch and dinner time, and the guest officer who wants to listen can choose to eat at the meal.
Now the guests' energy is higher, it turns out that those wonderful singing segments will be listened to every day after that, under the repeated thanks of Yao Hongsleeve and Qin Han, the guests who spend money to eat have paid for the bill, and those happy guests are watching the movement of Li Shimin's box.
At this moment, Pei Lin was actually in Li Shimin's private room.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor usually likes to sing and dance banquets, such a wonderful opera, if the Emperor misses it, wouldn't it be a pity? The minister asked His Majesty to let the Emperor Taishang leave the palace and go to Wangjiang Tower to enjoy this opera song and dance with the people. ”
Pei Lian's proposal made Li Shimin a little confused, too suddenly, so he didn't answer immediately, just a contemplative look.
Li Yuan's departure from the palace has both advantages and disadvantages for Li Shimin, the advantage is to show his generosity and filial piety to the people of the world, let him out to play, Li Shimin's strangulation of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji is a counterinsurgency, and the statement that Li Yuan took the initiative to abdicate to Li Shimin is also over.
The disadvantage is that if Li Yuan leaves the palace, it will not be so easy to control, and a large number of guards will be needed, if Li Yuan takes this opportunity to contact the old ministers and plan for restoration, then there will be a major political incident, but I am afraid that it will not end well.
"And let me think about it."
Li Shimin gave Pei Lin such a reply, and decided to drive back to the palace, and those ministers who had eaten also followed and left, Qin Qiong and Dugumou and other families who had a part in Wangjiang Tower stayed after sending off the emperor, and after a while, they gathered in the box where Qin Qiong and Dugu Mou had dinner before.
"Everyone, the situation of the restaurant has been opened since today, which is a happy thing for us, but it is bad news for those other restaurant operators in Chang'an, what will happen to them, we can't estimate, so everything must be careful, in the future, the safety of our restaurant employees, the confidentiality of the production links everywhere, need to be managed as strict as the army, so this also needs to be done together."
Hearing this, Qin Qiong nodded first and said, "Well, those family members have always had no scruples in their actions, and they have to be guarded against, do you have any regulations?" ”
Sun Xiangfu thought for a moment and said, "Let's build an escort team first!" At least 300 people are needed from each family to protect the safety of our employees and industries in Wangjiang Tower. ”
"Well, as it should be, my family will have eighty generals!" Dugu Mou lives in Princess Ankang's mansion, and there are 500 guards from a family, and it is naturally not a big problem to transfer dozens of people, and then dozens of people from each family have made up the number of 300.
Of course, these people Sun Xiangfu was the first to send to the craftsman workshop that made stage equipment and various practical tools in Wangjiang Tower, and also arranged for 150 people to work in three shifts to maintain the security of the restaurant and prevent outsiders from sabotage.
With the protection of these three hundred people, as long as those families do not want to incite a larger-scale armed organization to join the fire, it should be as stable as Mount Tai, then next, Sun Xiangfu will analyze the profitability for everyone, there are a lot of gifts received today, at a discount, more than 10,000 yuan, but the consumption is not small, first of all, the wine is steamed out of tens of thousands of catties, big fish, chickens and ducks, pigs and mutton and other ingredients The cost is also more than 1,000 yuan, after all, it is winter, the ingredients in Chang'an City are very expensive, Sun Xiangfu is based on the actual sales price and consumption, Calculate the profit ratio.
"After our restaurant starts normal business tomorrow, the net profit should be about half of the turnover, if the attendance rate like today every day, not counting the housekeeping department and dinner, just one lunch, you can make a profit of two or three thousand."
"Shhh
When Sun Xiangfu broke out this data, everyone in the room took a breath of cold air, and made a profit of two or three thousand yuan for one meal, so wouldn't the turnover reach more than six thousand? With today's serving rate, the average consumption per table is almost seven or eight times to have this number!
Of course, a table can go to seven or eight times, just the price of that large portion of stone pot fish is five dollars, and the cost, in addition to paying the three or five hundred salmon money sent by the Happy Village or the Fishery Division, the others are cheap soy products, which does not cost much at all, this dish can make a profit for the restaurant more than four times, and then there are other dishes of various colors, and there is no less than three hundred dollars per plate, plus the income of the tea table and a large number of drinks in the future, each table of eight people sitting on the table consumption is ten times, It can make a profit for the restaurant for more than seven or eight times.
Although it is impossible to order a large portion of stone pot fish on the small table where some four or five people sit on the first floor, the consumption amount can generally reach two or three times, and more can reach four or five times, and the box on the third floor is the big head, in addition to the box fee ranging from ten to fifty times, each table of dishes, and the minimum consumption of not less than ten times, Sun Xiangfu locked the sales of this high-end product on the rich from the beginning, and believed that after trying the convenience and tranquility of the private room, those top magnates would not be willing to squeeze in the hall with ordinary people.
However, there is also a way to play in Wangjiang Building, that is, to spend five dollars to buy a tea seat on the first floor, do not order food, just drink some soy milk hot drinks, watch a performance, and order a few dollars of dried fruit snacks at most, not to mention, this method of consumption has been explored by many guests on the first floor, if you have no money to eat and drink in the future, you only need to spend five dollars, and you can also watch a wonderful performance in Wangjiang Tower, which Sun Xiangfu also took into account, he will be in a small area in front of the stage to put a few rows of benches compactlyto set up a clean tea position.
Ordinary guests, only need to spend five dollars to buy a net tea place, you can get a Wangjiang Lou specially fired large porcelain cup with a lid and handle, when the time comes, you go to the bar to refill the tea, soy milk and other hot drinks, the bar directly sells dried fruits and other snacks to these net tea guests, anyway, a few pennies will give a few cents.
Thinking that they can earn thousands of dollars a day in the future, everyone is excited, even if they don't have much of a share in the restaurant, the income of a day is also hundreds of yuan, the cost of investing in the restaurant, one or two months can all return to the capital, and it is good to lie down and collect money in the future.
Looking at everyone's excited expressions, Sun Xiangfu said in his heart, this interest group is really formed now, and if there is anything to do with it in the future, for the sake of interests, these families will make great efforts to protect themselves.
On a luxurious carriage on the street of Chang'an, Wang Lin and several sons of the big clan were there, ate a delicious meal, listened to a wonderful opera, according to them as the rich second generation, they should be very cool, but they were not happy, in the case of free wine, they ate more than a dozen dollars for this meal, the most headache is that no one among them thinks that the consumption of more than a dozen dollars is not worth it, they have been operating restaurants for hundreds of years, it is naturally not difficult to calculate the terrifying profitability of Wangjiang Tower, and the conclusions they came to made them frightened.
The cake of the market is so big, the previous Zuixianlou has already eaten a large piece of dishes such as pickled cabbage and fish, and now, Wangjianglou, which is several times more ruthless than Zuixianlou, eats a large piece again, so, what is the living space of their restaurant? Are these ancestral properties about to fall into their hands?
"Guys, is there anything you can do?" Wang Lin looked at a few people whose faces were not very good.
"The dishes and drinks of Wangjiang Tower, including the opera, are very good, and the flow of guests to Wangjiang Tower has been unstoppable, depending on the following, we should not compare with them in the operation of the restaurant, we should give full play to our advantages and trample them to death." Zheng Xuancheng thought for a moment and said.
"Our advantage, you mean the court?" Wang Lin suddenly realized when he heard this.
"That's right, with the combined energy of several of us, plus some people behind other restaurant operators in Chang'an, at least more than eighty percent of the officials in the court want to speak for us, we just need to find an excuse to impeach Wangjianglou, so that the emperor can be forced to shut down Wangjianglou under pressure." Zheng Xuancheng explained.
"Well, Brother Zheng's plan is very good, the reason, I have already thought about it, first of all, the royal restaurant is run by the royal family, competing with the people for profit, and secondly, Wangjiang Mansion is still extravagant, and the cost of a meal is as much as a dozen, this wind cannot rise, and there is also the drama, which is sung about the former Sui Dynasty, and there is a suspicion of inciting the people and opposing the Tang Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty." Wang Lin's brain spun extremely fast, and he high-fived.
"There are these three major crimes, as well as the words of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, I don't believe that the emperor dares not to order the closure of Wangjiang Tower, when the time comes, all the brothers will have to rely on their own abilities, there are a lot of talents in Wangjiang Tower, if you dig up our restaurant, hehe······" Cui Mian didn't continue, but everyone smiled predictably.
Thinking of it will be done, the whole afternoon, these princes are not idle, however, no matter how fast their speed is, it is not as fast as the spread of the opera singing section of Wangjianglou, only one afternoon, the name of the opera "The Legend of the White Snake" spread all over Chang'an, many noble ladies who did not have time to rush to the drunken fairy building at noon, after faintly hearing some of the tunes of the singing section inside, they can't wait to fly to Wangjianglou immediately to have a look, so the dinner of Wangjianglou is also very lively.
Most of the Tang people are two meals a day, one meal before noon, one meal at about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the performance of Wangjianglou is more than two o'clock in the afternoon, when it is more than four o'clock, the crowd actually begins to gather in Wangjianglou again, here, there are more than half of them are going and returning, these people only stop at home, chat for a while, and then bring family or friends to come, they want to let the people around them see this magical drama, so that they have a common topic with themselves.
"Fortunately, my brother has sufficient reserves here, otherwise there would not be so many ingredients for so many guests to eat."
Sun Xiangfu wiped the man on his forehead and smiled cheaply he was going to pit all the guests who came over and open the market for the housekeeping department so he planned to go night also sing the whole out, when the time comes, the night ban time in Chang'an City has arrived, the sky is dark, and most of the people who have the right to make Wuhou on the street give in can't go back, then, the guest rooms in Wangjiang Tower will definitely be full.
