Chapter 12 The opening of the restaurant makes a small profit
Seven days later, the manpower has arrived, the books have been printed, and the decoration everywhere has reached the standard of his imagination, Zhang Ze began to send invitations door-to-door according to the previously registered name, and everyone who received Zhang Ze's invitation was overjoyed, as if they had obtained the signature of their favorite star.
This time, Zhang Ze not only invited people who came to the door to find him that day, but sent invitations widely, and this matter was handed over to the porter, and everyone who had a son in the family was invited over. In order to put an end to the phenomenon of uneven good and bad, Zhang Ze set a standard at the door, as long as you can compose poems on the spot to reach a certain level, you can enter, and it is Xu Shu who is responsible for the audit, mainly because there is only one literati around Zhang Ze who can use it, and that is Xu Shu.
Zhang Ze named the restaurant "Scholar Garden", and the information about the opening of the restaurant was spread out in this way of sending invitations, and the invited scholars wanted to see what this person who could make such wonderful verses looked like, whether it was the same as what they imagined in their minds, so everyone responded to the call, and when they saw the entry requirements at the door, these sons were even more interested, but Xu Shu was indeed fair and just, after Zhang Ze ordered in advance that he could release the water a little, still stopped a large number of sons and daughters who had no ink in their stomachs, but there were indeed a lot of scholars with real talents and learning, these people naturally passed the entrance test, and walked into the hall on the first floor, Zhang Ze sat at the front of the hall, the hall on the first floor was very simple, and most of them were put on seats by Zhang Ze, which was specially customized by Zhang Ze, mainly because he was too uncomfortable to sit on his knees.
The scholars present had never seen such a chair, and they found a seat nearby and sat down at Zhang Ze's signal, of course, the position in the front row was reserved for the people who gave gifts that day, after all, they were the first wave of fans, and the treatment still had to be there.
In fact, Zhang Ze plans to try to let everyone go up to the second floor on the first day, after all, it is going to be open for business, but like the one who spends money to buy officials, just invite it directly to the third floor, and the second floor is still reserved for literati and scholars to keep this restaurant, after all, this is not a restaurant in the pure sense but an intelligence station that contacts high-ranking officials and nobles.
In order to attract more people, Zhang Ze requires everything to be high-quality, to eat exquisitely, to use exquisitely, and everything to enjoy luxury.
The poetry on the first floor is in progress, although Zhang Ze said that he can't compose poetry, but after listening to the compulsory education he has received for so many years, his appreciation ability is still okay, and his comments are also perfect to complete the requirements of the modern college entrance examination syllabus.
Everyone nodded to Zhang Ze's evaluation, sure enough, there was everyone's demeanor, the comments were just right, everyone had their own gains, after they all finished the poems, everyone present found that only Zhang Ze had not written a poem in the audience, and the purpose of their trip had not yet been achieved, so they saluted and asked Zhang Ze to compose a poem, Zhang Ze couldn't stand the scene of so many people saluting, so he could only take out the bottom of his pressure box, which was still the poem that cried when he failed to confess to the goddess.
"Ask the world, what is love, and teach people to live and die,"
The first sentence alone had already caused the whole audience to boil, but as soon as everyone spoke out, they consciously covered their mouths, for fear of interrupting Zhang Ze's creative inspiration on the stage.
Where does Zhang Ze have any inspiration, he has seen a lot and memorized it quite skillfully.
"There are double flyers in the south and the north of the world, and the old wings have been cold and hot several times. Joy goes, parting is bitter, and there are more foolish children in the world. ”
Seeing that everyone was intoxicated by this poem and couldn't extricate themselves, a few people even shed a few lovesick tears.
Zhang Ze definitely does not allow these people to affect his own planning, "Okay, that's it for writing poems, and then I will send my personal poems, of course, the poems you did here just now will also be selected and put into my poems, of course, the author writes your names, and before going out for a while, please sign your own names on your poems." Now those who meet the requirements please go up to the second floor to rest, there are more excellent works that can attract you, and those who do not meet the requirements should not be discouraged, first go up to the third floor VIP seats to take a seat, there is food and wine to taste with you. Zhang Ze ruthlessly planned the thoughts of the sons and brothers, led everyone to the second and third floors, and at the same time said his plan to sell books.
The first floor is full of poetry and peculiar chairs, the second floor is full of poems and books of various types copied by Zhang Ze from later generations, and the third floor is full of mellow wine. When it comes to wine, Zhang Ze can thank the system, the system has recruited capable people in all aspects of fine work, including those who can make wine, Zhang Ze explained the method of distillation in later generations, coupled with this fine work combined with his own knowledge, it can really purify alcohol, not only improve the aroma of wine but also improve the concentration of wine, which makes Zhang Ze feel that it is not far from the advent of disinfectant alcohol.
Sure enough, both the people on the second floor and the people on the third floor who tasted the sake were like, "Wow! Of course, the second floor is for exquisite poetry, and the third floor is for refreshing wine.
According to the different preferences of different people, Zhang Ze has done this perfectly, with such a place, Zhang Ze can get the first-hand news from the mouths of these extremely loose-mouthed scholars, of course, these arriving fine works Zhang Ze was sent to various places according to different specialties, there are miscellaneous people, some sell vegetables, and some are mixed into various mansions to do chores, and even some join the ranks of eunuchs.
However, because of these people, Zhang Ze's intelligence network immediately spread in Luoyang City, and the price of each recruitment is expensive, requiring 1 gold to recruit, but to be preemptive, you must be willing to pay, there is no such thing as nothing to get for nothing, and there is no such thing as pie in the sky, although now Zhang Ze is a little skeptical that pie will fall from the sky, after all, he doesn't know how he came here.
The day's hospitality is finally over, due to the very small production of wine, Zhang Ze sells it at a price of 100 gold per jar, although the price is expensive, but the people who can come here are not the ones who are short of money, and the people who can afford to read in this era are not ordinary families.
100 jars of wine were sold out in the blink of an eye, sending away this group of people, returning to the account room and looking at the golden gold in front of him, Zhang Ze only felt satisfied, but Zhang Ze was not satisfied, it took ten days to recover his capital from selling wine, and he still needed to expand reproduction, so as to find an opportunity to contact the army, and sell it to those officials and ten permanent servants by the way, especially these people who often make money, the money in their hands is really wasted if they don't make money.
Zhang Ze still has a strategy, if he wants to open this restaurant in the capital safely, it is not possible to unite the ten permanent servants, but he can't unite them openly, after all, his teacher and the ten permanent servants are people from two camps. This thing has to be done secretly, Zhang Ze is not the kind of person who is upright and upright, otherwise such a person will not live long in this troubled world. Discord plan, digging the foot of the wall, being able to do such a thing is just enough to shine the shoes of a hero, if you want to be a hero, you naturally need more ability to do it, of course, Zhang Ze can do these things, now Zhang Ze as the master of the county, what he has to do is to work hard to improve the level of the territory, so that not only the people in the territory have better living conditions, but also the sergeants, technology, defense, and equipment have been improved, so that they can occupy new territories or protect themselves in the future. Protecting the inhabitants of one's own administration can play a key role.
Zhang Ze's printing plant is still very efficient, hundreds of freshly baked poetry books have been placed in the most conspicuous place on the first floor of the restaurant, most of them are still this kind of own poems, but there is another poem on the first day of the opening of the Shuxiangyuan, and some good poems are put on it, including Wang Gongzi and Cai Gongzi's masterpieces, not only the poetry creation is not bad, mainly because one of the two families has books, one has money, and this distribution is based on the relationship. After all, the famous poems he copied were enough to shock the literary world, and some other people's ordinary poems were harmless.
