The sun appeared and dissipated the darkness shrouded in Chang'an City, and also dispersed the cold and slaughter in the city, the curfew ended, the door was wide open, and Chang'an City, which had been silent all night, opened its arms again to show its prosperity to the world.

Walking aimlessly on the streets, watching the small merchants and vendors along the way selling their goods, the endless stream of people, but also began to buy the items they need, the prosperity of the scene has begun, but in the Zhenguan years, it is destined not to be too prosperous.

Li Er's life was a life full of battles, from seizing the throne and starting to kill his brother and prisoner father, and then to later conquering the Eastern Turks, resisting the Liaodong States, and conquering Goguryeo, and finally he couldn't fight, and his sons began to fight each other again.

The total population in the early years of the Tang Dynasty was more than 3 million households, and when Li Er died, the population was still more than 3 million households, and there was not much growth in more than 20 years, which can also see the cruelty of his life of conquest.

Li Er's ideals and ambitions are great, and it is his dream to achieve the Heavenly Empire and the kingdom of all nations, so he has been waging all kinds of wars for this dream, but what does this have to do with ordinary people.

The rule of Zhenguan allowed the people of the Tang Dynasty to live in an environment without the impact of war and without exorbitant taxes.

Jia Yi has no power to change this status quo, so he can only watch silently, because he is humble, no one will listen to what he says well, and he will lose his head if he says it badly.

Look up at the blue sky, breathe a breath of blue air, the poor are alone, and the wise saying that the good will help the world makes Jia Yi think that he has found a way out, since he has no ability now, then honestly be his own accompaniment captain, open his own small restaurant, earn some money, and live well.

The eyes suddenly opened up, and everything I saw was covered with a layer of brilliance, but how did the plaque wrapped in colorful glow look so familiar, closed his eyes and shook his head fiercely, and raised his eyes again to take a look, I wiped it, isn't this a square restaurant.

The Sifang Restaurant is not as prosperous and lively as Jia Yi imagined, and it is far from the main store in Duqu County, and the restaurant surrounded by aroma has failed to attract diners passing by in front of it, giving Jia Yi the feeling that these people are tired of eating this fragrant meal.

Walking into the restaurant, the diners sat in the huge dining room, making the dining room appear more empty, and Shen Qingyun greeted these diners as he saw at the beginning.

Jia Yi's arrival quickly attracted Shen Qingyun's attention, and when he saw Jia Yi, the bright smile on his face instantly turned into a bitter smile, and he pulled Jia Yi to a quiet corner and talked about it.

"Brother Jia, you have also seen that it is really difficult to open a restaurant in Chang'an City."

After Shen Qingyun's explanation, Jia Yi learned that the restaurants in Chang'an City now all have stir-fried dishes, and those who have money will choose big restaurants to eat and drink, because this shows a person's identity and taste, and those who have no money choose roadside stalls, because even if it is a small Sifang restaurant, it is not something they can eat, so the Sifang restaurant in Chang'an City is placed in a very awkward position.

"Brother Shen, you should recognize the location of our Sifang Restaurant in Chang'an, dignitaries and dignitaries need to have a specific restaurant to match their identity, ordinary rich people will also identify a good inn to flaunt their identity, our Sifang Inn wants to squeeze into the circle of those nobles, it is too difficult, so our guests should be those ordinary people."

"The people are not rich and wealthy, but their number is the largest, the dignitaries can spend a few dollars for a meal, but they can't eat out all day, the people come to Chang'an City to sell their goods, some will bring some food and drink, some are directly hungry, if we can provide very cheap meals, do you think they will come to our inn to eat? Although a business will make a lot less money, this kind of business will happen every day. ”

In fact, what Jia Yi wants to say is the simplest market division, wanting to let those dignitaries come to the Sifang Inn to eat, although it is okay once or twice, try it, no one will say anything, but let them feast guests here, none of them are willing, this is a matter of face or identity.

Jia Yi's words can always make Shen Qingyun's eyes shine, many dead ends in his thinking make him far less thorough than Jia Yi, the future generations, the most humble people in Chang'an City are those small merchants and hawkers, no one cares if they are full of food, and there is no restaurant The main object is them, and a person can only bring one or two pennies a day, it is really difficult to attract the attention of the hotel.

"So we're selling oily dough again?"

"No, oily noodles are not suitable, you must know that those small traders and vendors are distributed in various places throughout Chang'an City, and it is impossible for them to give up their stalls and come to our inn for a meal, so we should take the initiative to find them, therefore, we should sell food that is easy to carry, such as scallion pancakes and meat."

Shen Qingyun was stunned by Jia Yi's words, he had eaten scallion pancakes, and now basically the dry food every morning is this, and he has naturally eaten meat, but he didn't think about such a simple thing as combining these two together, and secretly sighed that he didn't have Jia Yi's two and at the same time had new doubts.

"The cost of scallion pancakes after the meat is much higher, are you sure those small traders and vendors will buy them and eat them?"

"Can you go there, a scallion pancake with three slices of meat, and then put some vegetables in it, it's not small, or a combination of meat and vegetables, do you want to sell it for only three cents?"

The cost of such scallion pancakes should be about two cents, although it is only sold for one penny, but the small merchants and vendors in Chang'an City have at least eighteen thousand, as long as one tenth of them buys it, the net profit of that day is consistent money, not to know, forget it Forget it, Shen Qingyun can really notice this group of veritable God of Wealth at this time.

The world was initially decided, the price of rice in the second year of Zhenguan was still very high, and in the first year of Zhenguan, it was still a horse of silk and a bucket of rice, and this price continued until the third year of Zhenguan, until the fourth year of Zhenguan, when the price of rice dropped significantly, only two or three dollars and a bucket, which is also something that Jia Yi is very puzzled about, could it be that Li Er has obtained a huge harvest in just two years, resulting in a sharp drop in rice prices?

This doubt only lingered in Jia Yi's mind for a moment, and then he swept it out of his mind, and now what he needs to care about is how far the sales of scallion pancakes and meat can reach.

It happened that there was still some time in the morning, Shen Qingyun and Jia Yiquan came to the back kitchen to make this new scallion pancake with meat, and by noon, the two of them had made thousands, of course, the two of them, including the cook, were all tired and inhuman.

When he walked on the street with a large basin, with a clear voice, the name of the bread and meat appeared in Chang'an.

"Breads and meat, three pennies a piece, good but not expensive and affordable."

The first voice made the street vendors think they had heard it wrong, and when the guy shouted the second voice, tragedy struck, and he found that the street vendors suddenly turned into vicious dogs, and he was very unfortunate to become a meat bun.

Soon the surging crowd completely submerged the guy, when the crowd dispersed, this revealed the figure of the disheveled guy, the big basin was erected beside him, the bread and meat inside had disappeared, of course, there were countless copper coins lying beside him, the guy who came back from the fright, while sniffling, while happily picking up the copper coins on the ground, it was really painful and happy.

Looking at the guys who came back, whether it was Shen Qingyun or Jia Yi, they all laughed loudly, and the appearance of the guys made them clearly know the benefits of bread and meat, and they had great confidence in the rise of Sifang Restaurant in Chang'an.

Soon, thousands of cakes and meat were bought by the vendors who rushed to hear the news, and some of the vendors who didn't buy the bread and meat even let out a heavy sigh, which made Jia Yi and Shen Qingyun very puzzled, isn't it just a cake and meat, if you can't eat it tomorrow, it's okay to continue, sigh what.

Jia Yi grabbed a groaning vendor and inquired, only to find out that they were not sighing because they couldn't eat the bread and meat today, but because they regretted that they couldn't bring back a delicious cake with meat for their children, although there will be another cake with meat tomorrow.

Hearing this, Jia Yi suddenly realized, in today's world, there are people who can't eat, under normal circumstances, they are already very good people who can eat a full meal, and the meat that can be eaten is already considered a rich family, and now there is a very cheap thing such as bread and meat in Chang'an City, and the small merchants and vendors do not think that they can eat meat, but that they can eat their children after returning home.

Jia Yi found a very serious question, it seemed that he had set the price of this cake and meat a little low, but he didn't have the idea of raising the price, but casually found a few hawkers who seemed to be honest, and said: "On the premise of ensuring your own business, how about you work for me for half an hour, the work is not very tiring, you only need to sell a hundred cakes and meat in Chang'an City at noon every day, and you can get a reward of twenty copper coins." ”

Jia Yi can earn 100 wen for 100 cakes and meat, and only take out 20 wen as wages, which is already considered a black heart, but he didn't expect those vendors to nod towards Jia Yi with excitement on their faces, for fear that Jia Yi would regret it.
