Gu Beidao: "In this way, Madame believes that a certain is better than herself?" ”

"That's nature." Mrs. Liu's laughter continued, her pink and white hands covered her red lips, and she smiled toothlessly, "Since the county man asked the slave marquis to count the silver at home, how can the slave family not look forward to it." ”

Gu Bei laughed, and then said: "Since this is the case, Mrs. will be at home with peace of mind, and the restaurant will have its own person to deal with it." If Mrs. encounters difficulties in other industries, she can also find some. ”

Mrs. Liu hurriedly got up and poured wine for Gu Bei again, and toasted another glass, the wine was not strong, but Mrs. Liu's amount of wine was very average, and soon her face was flushed, like a hibiscus.

It was hot outside the hall, but it was as cool as autumn inside the elegant hall, and after a few glasses of wine, Gu Bei was relaxed for a while.

After solving the matter of the restaurant, Mrs. Liu was in a good mood and accompanied a few glasses of wine, but she was obviously a little overwhelmed, not only the cheeks were white and red, but the charming eyes were also intoxicating.

"Madam, is the Liu family firm only doing some business in Yingtianfu?" Gu Bei was refreshed, leaned back in his chair, and looked at Mrs. Liu.

Although he likes the seductive style of beautiful women very much, he also understands that Mrs. Liu is a person with a conservative bottom line, and he is not thinking about it.

"Mainly in the area of Yingtianfu." Mrs. Liu's apricot eyes were hazy, and a slight smile appeared on her lips: "There are many pharmacies in Yingtianfu, and the sales are good, although there are more than a dozen pharmacies competing, they can barely maintain, but there are still agents...... Tianxianglu of the county man, as for the restaurant, after the slave family handed it over to Uncle Jin, he never went there. ”

Gu Bei bowed slightly, and said, "It's not easy for you to support such a big industry as a woman." ”

Mrs. Liu sighed faintly: "Who said no, in fact, the slave also wanted to go back to Pingjiang back then, but there were dozens of people who followed him back then, if he left it alone, what should those people do?" ”

Gu Bei knew that Mrs. Liu's ancestral home was in Pingjiang, Datong, and the "he" in her mouth was naturally her husband who disappeared and was killed on the wedding night.

"It's nice to be like this." Gu Beidao: "Out of Ying Tianfu, don't you have much business dealings with other places?" ”

Mrs. Liu said: "There are still some shops in the capital, but there are only a few. He smiled lightly: "The Liujia Pharmacy was able to survive because the price was lowered at the beginning, and at that time, the Yingtian Pharmacy Chamber of Commerce almost drove our pharmacy out of Yingtian for this matter, saying that it was a slave to other people's voices, and then there was no way, so we could only sell some medicinal materials unique to the pharmacy at a low price, and other medicinal materials should be handled in accordance with the rules of the firm." ”

"Oh."

"Originally, the price was lowered in order to retain some merchants to maintain, but the few medicinal materials unique to the Liu family were in short supply, but there was no profit," Mrs. Liu's delicate and moving face showed a look of helplessness and distress.

"Since it's exclusive, it's just to raise the price."

"That won't work." Mrs. Liu shook her head and said: "If the price is raised, those merchants will probably not buy from the slaves, at least in this way, they can still earn some silver, and the Liu family's medicine store will not starve." ”

Gu Bei bowed slightly, and said, "So when Mrs. saw Tianxianglu, she took out all the money from her family and worked hard?" ”

"Yes! If the status quo is maintained, the slave doesn't know if he can continue to hold on, but fortunately he succeeded. Mrs. Liu talked about winning the agency of Tianxianglu, and her eyes were full of light.

It was only a few months after winning the agency rights, and the profit earned was enough to match the profit of the entire medicine store for a year.

Early the next morning, Gu Bei transferred a group of carpenters, bricklayers, lacquer craftsmen and other decoration workers to Taozuiju, and began to start construction according to his requirements.

After everything was arranged, Gu Bei went to Luobei Port to select some victims.

When Gu Bei brought thirty or forty people to Taozuiju, he told the golden shopkeeper about the plan.

When the golden shopkeeper heard this, he was happy and worried, happy that he had saved the trouble of attracting people, and worried that he had found so many people at once, and he didn't even have a place to live.

At this point, the golden shopkeeper didn't say much, so he could only come, and after the two discussed, these victims were quickly distributed.

After a few days, the decoration of the peach drunken residence was finally completed.

There are thirty tables on the first floor, twenty private rooms on the second floor, and only four private rooms and one hall on the third floor.

Gu Bei found someone to look through the yellow calendar, and it happened that tomorrow was an auspicious day for the zodiac, and the opening day was set.

The opening date is set, and another shareholder must be informed, originally these things can be done by letting the next person run, but it happened that Gu Bei had something to say to Mrs. Liu, so he took Xiao Ran to Liufu again.

When she came to Liufu, it was Xiao Cui who opened the door, maybe she knew Gu Bei's identity, or it could be 'as the first man to greet her', Xiao Cui didn't make a report, opened the door of convenience, and led him directly to the back hall.

In the back hall, Mrs. Liu was sitting at a round table, and when she saw Gu Bei coming in with a piece of red silk, she got up and said in surprise: "County man, what is this red silk used for?" ”

"Ribbon cutting."

"Ribbon cutting?"

Mrs. Liu looked at Gu Bei puzzled.

Gu Beidang even told Mrs. Liu about the content of the ribbon cutting.

Mrs. Liu was stunned and said, "This is what the county man came up with?" ”

Gu Bei nodded cheekily, and then said, "By the way, it will open tomorrow, madam, remember to come." ”

"Are slaves going too?"

Sweat! If you don't go, the shareholder of the restaurant, will we cut the ribbon alone?

"Of course, how can this ribbon-cutting ceremony be without you, the owner? Oh, by the way, there's something I forgot to give you. ”

As he spoke, Gu Bei took out a rectangular gold sheet from his arms and handed it to Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu took it and took a look, only to see that one side of the gold piece was engraved with "Intoxication", and the other side was engraved with "Supreme VIP Card", and she was surprised: "What is this?" ”

"Isn't it written on the VIP card?"

"The slave knows."

"You know and ask?"

"The slave wants to ask about this brass...... What is this VIP card used for? Mrs. Liu was almost about to collapse, gritting her teeth and saying word by word.

"Oh, Madame just wants to ask this, in fact, even if Madame doesn't ask, so-and-so will tell you."

After considering the wording, Gu Bei spoke: "The usefulness of this VIP card is not ordinary. First of all, whenever there is a new dish, only cardholders can be invited to taste it, and secondly, and most importantly, only cardholders who own Peach Drunken Residence can subscribe to the private room. As for having a VIP card like yours, you can enjoy all the privileges and it's always free. ”

"Free forever?"

Mrs. Liu was surprised: "What the county man said, it seems that there are other membership cards?" ”

"Of course, in addition to that, there are regular VIP cards, gold VIP cards, and diamond VIP cards, but these are all made of copper."

"What's the use of these cards, aren't they expensive?" Mrs. Liu wondered.

Gu Bei shook his head and said, "I don't want a penny." ”

"What?"

Mrs. Liu became more and more puzzled: "Don't you want a penny?" ”

"Of course."

Gu Bei nodded, changed his words, and said: "However, if you want to apply for an ordinary VIP card, you must deposit one hundred taels of silver into the card at one time, as for the gold VIP, you have to get five hundred taels of silver, and the diamond VIP has one thousand taels." Of course, the money is still there, it's just that the praise exists in our Peach Drunk House, and you can directly pay the bill with a card when you eat in the future, and the card holder also has a certain discount when you come to Peach Drunk House to eat. ”

Shock!

After Mrs. Liu heard this, she was stunned.

"Wonderful, wonderful!" After waking up, she groaned slightly, and she also knew the purpose of this card, and Mrs. Liu sighed.

That's wonderful! Let's just copy it, and we won't let you go to the limit in the future?

The fourth watch day has just passed.

The peach drunken residence is brightly lit.

Gu Bei didn't have to come, but considering the opening of the first restaurant, word of mouth is very important, so he personally checked it.

Except for Mrs. Liu, the rest of the people have arrived, and dozens of people are busy upstairs and downstairs.

Their current task is to clean the first floor of the peach drunken house and prepare for the opening.

Gu Bei is a chef with a few new tricks, preparing today's ingredients in the kitchen.

According to the list given by Gu Bei, the materials prepared by the golden shopkeeper are mainly fish, pork, dog meat and vegetables, followed by donkey meat, mutton, rabbit meat, and the least beef.

Since the hot pot base and the ingredients to be used are prepared in advance, all the cooks have to do is wash, cut, and boil water.

Several cooks were recruited at a high price, and their knife skills were very exquisite, although they were not as powerful as being able to carve a radish into a lifelike dragon, but there was still no problem in cutting the meat into thick and thin slices of equal size.

In the east, a blood-red sun rises.

The twenty bartenders also changed into Gu Bei's specially customized work clothes, all of which were blue close-fitting shorts, long pants, tight and narrow, and looked energetic. The woman who was cleaning also changed into red overalls.

After a while, Mrs. Liu also arrived, and she had not slept all night last night.

One is anticipation, and the other is curiosity.

"Auntie...... The proprietor, the lady is here. ”

Xiao Jiu hurriedly ran into the kitchen and shouted sweaty.

At this time, Gu Bei was instructing the chef on how to slice the fish, and when he heard this, he glanced at Xiao Jiu and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Jiu, no matter how big the matter is, don't be so rampage when you come to the kitchen." ”

"Yes, host."

Xiao Jiu lowered his head and stuck out his tongue.

Gu Bei shook his head, explained a few words to a few cooks, and said: "The fish slices must be thin, otherwise it will affect the taste, you guys step up the processing, and you can go back when you go." ”

After that, he walked out with Xiao Jiu.

In the hall, Mrs. Liu, who was chatting with the golden shopkeeper, saw Gu Bei come out, gave a bow, and said with a smile: "Let the county man personally check the gate, the slave family is very frightened!" ”

"Don't get in the way, this is the first restaurant, reputation is very important, and I'm afraid that something will go wrong, so I don't have to be so troublesome in the future."

Gu Bei smiled and said, "Madam, as I said yesterday, you can't make a mistake!" The first day of opening ceremony is important. ”

In fact, what should be said, Gu Bei has already told them, and even every detail has been rehearsed a few times, if this can still go wrong, then he is helpless.

Mrs. Liu nodded slightly, and said, "What the county man said, the slave family has long been engraved in the depths of my heart, but the steps of the ribbon-cutting ceremony must be necessary?" ”

Yesterday, Gu Bei told her about the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and Mrs. Liu was a little reluctant, but in the end, it was Gu Beixiao who reasoned and persuaded her with affection.

Gu Bei smiled slightly: "The ribbon-cutting ceremony is nothing more than a formality, and the ceremony is very important in a certain hometown, which means auspiciousness." ”

Seeing that Gu Bei was unquestionable, Mrs. Liu didn't say anything more, nodded and said, "That's okay." ”

As he was talking, Cheng Xiaoyi came surrounded by a group of big men, Cheng Wudi was originally an invited guest at today's ribbon-cutting ceremony, considering the impact of his identity, he asked his daughter to come to the ribbon-cutting ceremony instead of him.

"Congratulations, brother-in-law."

Gu Bei looked at Cheng Xiaoyi, who had not been seen for a long time, his posture became thinner and thinner, giving people the feeling that he would fall as soon as the wind blew, nodded with a smile, and then asked people to serve tea to the Cheng family brothers and sisters.

Cheng Xiaoyi saw Gu Bei after many days, her expression was excited, her eyes seemed to be dripping with honey, she stared at him without blinking, just sat down, and said happily: "Brother-in-law, now there are rumors outside about the opening of the peach drunken house, what ribbon cutting, mandarin duck pot...... It has been preached that it is divine. ”

Gu Bei smiled bitterly and rubbed his nose, these are all his masterpieces, using modern business gimmicks.

As if he remembered something, Cheng Xiaoyi's expression was dark, and he laughed for a while, and then said quietly: "Brother-in-law, I won't call Xiaoyi if I invented the hot pot, if it weren't for my father who was afraid of the bad impact and couldn't come, it is estimated that Xiaoyi would not be able to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony." ”

Gu Bei held his forehead for a while, his eyes dodged the little girl's resentful gaze, and sighed in his heart:

The most difficult to accept the grace of beauty!

This topic was a bit heavy, so Gu Bei had no choice but to lead Mrs. Liu to the side and introduced: "Xiaoyi, this is Mrs. Liu, the proprietor of Peach Drunken House. ”

Since Mrs. Liu rarely shows up, although Cheng Xiaoyi has seen her at the auction, she has forgotten about it after so long.

"Xiaoyi has seen Madame."

Cheng Xiaoyi found the big beauty beside Gu Bei at this time, her beautiful eyes were condensed, and she suddenly became vigilant, and then smiled and nodded.

Mrs. Liu got up and bowed, and said, "I heard the name of Miss Cheng earlier, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”

What name can I have? Cheng Xiaoyi, who has been influenced by aristocratic etiquette since he was a child, has seen many big scenes, and said politely: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Mrs. Liu looked at Cheng Xiaoyi, who was slightly hostile, and was surprised in her heart, her eyes swept over the two of them, as if she understood something, and said with a smile: "County man, Miss Cheng, you talk first, and the slave family will go upstairs to have a look." ”

After Mrs. Liu left, Cheng Xiaoyi gave Gu Bei a resentful look.

But Gu Bei didn't see it, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he lowered his head to drink tea.

Before noon, the peach drunken house was already full of people.

At this time, in front of the door of the peach drunken house, a big platform was set up and tied with a red cloth. There were many onlookers, but they didn't know what it was for.

At noon, Chen Jinwang, as the host of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, took the lead in standing on the stage and said a long opening remarks......

Chen Jinwang has been in business for many years, and as the big housekeeper of Gu Bei, he takes care of and supervises the construction of the entire Luobei Port for him, with thousands of people under his hands, and he is not stage frightened in the face of hundreds of people in the audience. When he spoke, his mouth was like a river and he was gushing endlessly. This is also the reason why Gu Bei specially called him to be the host, he originally wanted to find a woman to serve as the hostess and cooperate with Chen Jinwang, or he was shy and unwilling, or he couldn't find a suitable candidate, so Gu Bei had to give up.

Of course, a certain little girl is willing to spontaneously act as the host, but Gu Bei is afraid!

He was afraid that a certain "hob" grandmaster of the Cheng family would come and smash the store with people.

Then there is the hostess who appears.

I saw four young girls come out of the shop, each holding a tray with a big red flower and a pair of copper scissors, each of which was connected with silk.

Four girls stood on the stage, in a row.

Then there is the appearance of the ribbon-cutting guests.

With a burst of gongs and drums sounding background music, and the shouts of the audience were lowered, Gu Bei, Mrs. Liu, and Cheng Xiaoyi walked out of the store one by one.

There was another commotion in the audience.

"Is this the famous Bai family's aunt Gu Xian who is the celebrity of our Ying Tianfu?"

"Gu County man, it's really Gu County man......"

"Wow, is that woman Mrs. Liu, so beautiful......"

"Huh? Who is that little girl, she looks very sweet, and she is very suitable for a certain heart......"

"Shhhh That little girl is the daughter of Cheng Mansion......"

"Ahh It turned out to be Cheng ...... The daughter of the family, I don't know if a certain will ......"

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and the mood of the three ribbon-cutting guests on the stage at the moment was also different.

It was the first time for Mrs. Liu to be in front of so many people, and she felt a little shy in her heart, and her cheeks also revealed a hint of redness, but it was even more beautiful and moving.

Gu Bei stood on the stage, hearing everyone's praise, with a faint smile on his face.

Cheng Xiaoyi only thought it was interesting, as for the praise, she didn't seem to care much, and thought that there was still a brother-in-law standing next to her, and she was so beautiful in her heart, I wished that Tao Zuiju would have a ribbon-cutting ceremony every day.

"The ribbon cutting starts now."

With Chen Jinwang's shout, the three of them all picked up the copper scissors in the tray and cut off the red silk in front of them.

At the same time, the deafening sound of artillery fire also sounded on both sides.

The hype is there, the gimmick is there, and the next step is the money offensive, after all, no matter how delicious your food is, you must first attract customers to the store, which can be regarded as the first step to success.

"Friends, fathers and fellow villagers, hello everyone! In order to repay everyone's love, our host announced that today's dishes are free of charge, and each table will be free of charge with a bottle of mellow Chinese wine brewed by Gu County man. ”

As soon as the sound of the artillery battle fell, Chen Jinwang beat the gongs and drums and shouted loudly.

Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "This idea is also what the county man thinks!" ”

Gu Bei nodded slightly, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

Mrs. Liu sighed: "With Gu County's male plan, I'm afraid it won't be long before Taozuiju can become the No. 1 restaurant in Yingtian." ”
