Chapter 41 Be prepared for danger in times of peace
Looking at the number on the ledger, Cao Xuan nodded, and that night he immediately held another meeting within their family, and all the high-level members of the family were present.
There is only one purpose for this meeting, that is, Cao Xing is going to open a second Hantian Restaurant in other counties, which can be regarded as a branch of Hantian Restaurant.
As soon as Cao Xuan proposed, Che Wu immediately stood up and agreed, and at the same time, he also understood why Cao Xuan asked him, a person who didn't know much about running business, to run this business in the first place.
If Cao Xuan then asked Fengyun to run this business, with Fengyun's shrewd mind, he knew how to sell in layers, and he also knew how to sell his cold spirits, even if the market was sluggish at the beginning, he would try all kinds of ways to earn the highest profits.
But Che Wu is a little different, he is not as eloquent as Feng Yun, he only knows how to sell wine with a stuffy head, but this time he goes out, even if Che Wu just sells wine with a stuffy head and looks at the account book, but the sales of spirits and soap in cold days are still in full swing, and the supply exceeds demand, which shows a problem, the outside market has been completely opened by Cao Xing. Even if he is not in the field, but in the hearts of outsiders, there is already the shadow of their cold day spirits, so that he can open a cold sky restaurant there and establish his own foundation.
Cao Xing's idea has been around for a long time, and as the so-called being prepared for danger in times of peace, everyone has heard of it a little, and they can't help but nod their heads when they hear this, expressing their approval of Cao Xing's idea.
Since everyone is not opposed, then Cao Xuan also made some arrangements for the new restaurant, he selected a county seat around Bianyun County, the scale of that county is slightly larger than Bianyun County, whether it is Fengyun or Che Wu have been to it once, they told Cao Xuan that the government in that place is not bad, anyway, the public security is much better than Bianyun County, and it should be more stable to do business there.
However, the newly established restaurant is in a foreign country, not by his side, Cao Xing is still a little uneasy, he is not familiar with the place, and he doesn't know what will happen over there, so for the shopkeeper of the restaurant, Cao Xuan immediately decided to let Liu Wan take charge.
After all, Liu Wan is in his thirties, and he has very rich social experience, not only knows how to do business, but also knows how to deal with the people around him, so it is a relatively safe thing for him to run the newly opened Hantian Restaurant, as for the Hanjian Restaurant in Bianyun County, Cao Xing is to let Fengyun temporarily take charge.
For all these arrangements, everyone has no objections, and the next thing is to reserve goods and gather money, during this week, Cao Xing's family can be said to be in full swing.
A week later, Cao Xing took Chen Hu and Liu Wan, as well as a carefully selected sixty men, and prepared to hit the road.
Cao Xing prepared more than 1,000 jars of cold spirits this time, as well as more than 8,000 pieces of soap, and hired more than 20 carriages to load all these things, so naturally he brought more guys, all of whom were in high spirits and with burning eyes, all of which were carefully selected by Cao Xing.
Before leaving, Cao Xuan did not forget to specially instruct that after he left, the rights of the Hantian Restaurant were all owned by Fengyun Zhangguan, but Fengyun's personality was a little ostentatious, although he was very shrewd, but from time to time he would cause some trouble, Cao Xing repeatedly told him not to cause trouble, and it was best to stay in the Hantian Restaurant every day and manage it well until he came back.
For these words, Feng Yun naturally patted his chest and agreed, and Cao Xuan also told Feng Yun that because Liu Wan opened a restaurant, he naturally had to transfer some manpower from them, so Feng Yun could recruit outside again while running the Cold Sky Restaurant.
The target of recruitment is naturally some reliable young people, and Feng Yun's task is to register the names of these young people, and after Cao Xing returns, he will select them one by one.
Then Cao Xuan looked at Che Wu again, a week before that, Cao Xuan gave Che Wu a long vacation, so that Che Wu could have a good rest, but at this time, because Chen Hu was going to leave with Cao Xing, the security of the family was naturally handed over to Che Wu.
"Big brother, you can go with confidence, Huzi has already told me all your arrangements before, if you don't come back for a day, I won't leave this house for a day!"
Hearing Che Wu say this, Cao Xuan was relieved, Che Wu was relatively stable in doing things, and Cao Xuan was also relieved to hand over the security of the entire family to him.
After making this series of arrangements, Cao Xing's group of people went on the road in a mighty way.
The county seat chosen by Cao Xing is the closest county seat to Bianyun County, and if you leave the county seat, you will probably have to walk fifty or sixty miles to reach it.
Cao Xing and their road is also quite smooth, there are not too many obstacles, but the road is a little rugged, if Cao Xing Liu bends Chen Hu, the three of them ride a horse and whip fast, it is estimated that they can reach it in one day and one night, but the mountain road is rugged, and everyone has been walking for three days and three nights and finally arrived at the destination.
Cao Xuan asked Chen Hu to take his men into the restaurant to rest first, and then he and Liu Wan immediately began to look around the center of the county to see if there were any suitable shops.
It took two days, Cao He and Liu Wan locked their eyes on a three-story restaurant, it is said that the restaurant, established for sixty or seventy years, has been in the hands of three generations of grandchildren, but it is a pity that to the grandson's generation, the family is gradually depressed, and the restaurant has gradually declined, and it has not become a century-old shop, which is really a pity.
However, this world is originally competitive, some people go up and some people go down, and natural selection is just a matter of natural selection, so Cao Xuan just sighed, and he didn't feel anything wrong in his heart, he and Liu Wan found the owner of this restaurant, bargained with him, and finally Cao Xuan used the price of 120,000 taels to build this restaurant.
Because this was originally a restaurant, all kinds of decorations inside were still in place, but Cao Xing still picked some wild flowers from the outside according to the aesthetic point of view of modern people, and bought a few vases to put in the store, and the whole restaurant was instantly fragrant.
Later, I found some carpenters to carve dragons and phoenixes everywhere on the door number, door latch, and even the walls, making the restaurant look more vibrant.
After that, Cao Xing asked Chen Hu and others to move all their goods in, and the next morning, this new Hantian Restaurant was opened.
As soon as the four words of Hantian Restaurant came out, it immediately caused a sensation in this county, and countless people came to eat and drink in Hantian Restaurant.
Seeing that the business of Hantian Restaurant was so prosperous, Cao Xing was relieved, according to the scale of this county, he directly gave Liu Wan thirty guys, and let those thirty guys stay here and listen to Liu Wan's arrangement. It is impossible for these guys to be used all at once, so everyone must be given six days of vacation every month to rest, and as for the salary and treatment, there will be no change as before.
Because most of the guys left by Cao Xing were not from Jiuyuan, so everyone agreed very neatly.
As for other trivial matters, Cao Xing and Liu Wan spent a night discussing them all.
"The owner, you can rest assured to go, I run the Hantian Restaurant here, and I will definitely run it prosperously!"
Cao Xuan smiled and patted Liu Wan's shoulder, Liu Wan and he came out of the same village, and after the catastrophe when he was young, Liu Wan is now much more mature, he told Cao Xuan that he just wants to do things in a down-to-earth manner, and when he saves enough money to buy a big house in the future, the rest is why he didn't say any more.
However, Cao Xuan also knows that what Liu Wan wants most now may be a new family. He smiled and patted Liu Wan on the shoulder, and assured Liu Wan that it would not be long before he Cao Xing's affairs in Bianyun County were properly handled, and he would take a special time to find the most famous local matchmaker to help Liu Wan talk about the past, after all, it is in the past, and people always have to look forward when they live.
When the morning came again, Liu Wan and others saw off Cao Xing and them at the city gate.
This time, it was much easier for Cao Xing and the others to go back, after all, there was no more goods on the carriage, and there were many guys, who could already become a horse alone at this moment, galloping quickly on this land, and some guys were lying directly on the wheels, and let the guys who drove the horses drag him away.
Cao He and Chen Hu rode in front and smiled when they saw this. Because there is no goods, Cao Xing estimates that they will only need two days at most to return to Bianyun County, and now everyone wants to play, so let everyone have fun.
There was a thinner guy and a taller and chubby guy, and the two of them each rode a horse, and somehow, they unknowingly started to compete.
No one was convinced, and in the end the two decided to compete with whomever was better at equestrianism.
The two of them were on the same starting line, and then they chose a big tree 100 meters away as a reference, and they competed to see who could run to that tree first, even if it was the winner.
The guy next to him saw all this, but also came to the interest, clapping on the side, one tall and one short two guys are also high-spirited, the two are ready at the starting line, and then a guy next to him took a burlap coat and threw it into the air, when the clothes completely fell to the ground, it was the moment when the two of them raised their whips and galloped on horseback.
"Drive!" Both of them let out a loud cry from their mouths at the same time, and they both shook their horsewhips in unison.
The two of them galloped quickly on this flat land, but at a distance of 100 meters, both of them used all their strength, and everyone soon saw a result, although the equestrian skills of both of them were good, but the guy who was short was obviously more balanced, so he could concentrate on directing the horses in the process of driving the horse, so he only ran for two breaths, and the horse he rode had already surpassed the horse next to him.
