Chapter 67: The opening is auspicious, and double happiness is coming
This restaurant was bought, and the next thing is to decorate, but with the experience of last time, this time it will be much smoother. Workers are not a problem, Sun Chao and dozens of them, no need to use them in vain. Isn't it popular to have three holes in the rivers and lakes, and this decoration will make a nest for yourself. More than 30 people take turns to work non-stop, decorating the restaurant during the day and digging holes at night, so that they can not only be used as a base, but also as a wine cellar, killing two birds with one stone.
At the beginning, the dilapidated yard could also be used to build a winery directly, with the gold-lettered signboard of the palace wine, it was difficult to make money or not, and it would only be a situation where supply exceeded demand, so the winery must be big enough.
Of course, during the renovation period, Han Xiaofeng was not idle, visiting and observing everywhere, and also thinking about the way out of Tangmen and what to do to make a living. Qinglou has invested too much, there is no silver, and the most important thing is that there is no girl. It's not bad to open a gambling house, but it also requires silver. The protection fee is too low-end, and the price drops. In the end, I decided to do a business without capital, which can be regarded as an old business, doing dock business, and ensuring a million profits.
This dock has always been fiercely competitive, how to intervene has to pay attention to skills, although it is okay to grab hard, but it will inevitably cause unnecessary conflicts, after all, there are only dozens of people in the family now. There is only one way to think about it, and it is also the most profitable business. Isn't this old man Dou the boss of the logistics of the Northwest Battalion, these tens of thousands of people eat and drink a lot of things every day, and the things in the inner garden of the palace are not allowed to be transported in from other places, this is also a business opportunity, find him to do this business. Anyway, he will have to come to acupuncture in two days, and when the time comes, he will have to go down with a few bowls of wine.
As I walked on the road, I saw a young man with an unkempt face, who looked a little familiar. The young man also saw him, and ran over and called out to the master.
Only then did Han Xiaofeng see that this kid was actually Guo Xiao, and said, "I have to praise you kid, this makeup painting is really against the sky, I don't even recognize it." ”
Guo Xiao said embarrassedly, "I can't help it, I've been staring at the Longchang Dart Bureau these days, I'm afraid of being recognized, so I made it like this." ”
Han Xiaofeng asked, "Then have you found anything wrong?" ”
Guo Xiao shook his head and said, "It's heavily guarded, we can't get close at all, once they see it, we have to be expelled, and even beaten, no one else dares to go, and I can only watch from a distance." ”
Han Xiaofeng touched his head and said, "It's no wonder it's difficult for you, you also go back to see Guo Ni tonight, don't be at home all day, do things slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”
Han Xiaofeng asked again, "How is the gang doing lately?" ”
Guo Xiao smiled, "It's very good, now there are 1,000 people, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled." ”
Han Xiaofeng was quite satisfied with this result, and said, "Now that you are the helper, you have to be a bit of a helper, and try to let them do something as much as possible." The amount of money they get must also be handed over in an appropriate amount, otherwise there will be no money to handle in the future, which will not work. Remember, you want to make them appreciate you and fear you. ”
Han Xiaofeng suddenly thought of the problem of manpower, and had an idea, isn't there a ready-made manpower here, it really takes no effort to come. At the beginning, Guo Xiao was asked to continue to be a beggar to develop a beggar gang, just to monitor the Longchang Dart Bureau, and to see if he could find any clues about Yang Xiu.
Han Xiaofeng continued: "There is one more thing you have to do, you find some young people like you in the gang, just say if you don't have to do the work of begging for food, ask them if they are willing, if you can do it, you can bring them to me." But one thing you have to keep in mind is that these people must be people you can trust. ”
Guo Xiao nodded heavily and said, "No problem, leave this matter to me." ”
Brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are golden. This sentence is not false at all, both sides started work day and night at the same time, and it was done in half a month. With Tai'an's experience, it's quite easy to get here, and dozens of brothers went to the streets and alleys of Chang'an to spread a single shot, and the effect was not worse than that of Tai'an.
The newly opened restaurant is named Baxian Building, which still continues the style of Tai'an. The first floor is mainly to sell various grades of wine, willing to eat some snacks and listen to the wine on the first floor, people need a private room to go to the second floor, a little identity to go to the more luxurious decoration of the third floor. A cellar was forced out of the ground, and there were a few secret doors, which were considered to be in case of emergency.
On October 11 of the fourth year of Yonghui, this day was an auspicious day for the opening of Han Xiaofeng's special choice, Li Rong didn't say the reason when they asked for it, only said that it was a good day to attract wealth and treasure, and no matter how others objected, it was set as soon as the decision was made.
The opening day was an unprecedented event, completely beyond everyone's expectations. The people who lined up to buy wine all lined up at the gate of the East Market, and there was not a single one who ate, and the powerful came for the wine. The winery pulled carts and carts of wine over there and sold them out, but I have to be glad that there are dozens of old men like Sun Chao today, otherwise it is estimated that the newly renovated Eight Immortal Building will have to be demolished. In the end, there was really no way, and I made a special trip to make a coupon, as long as the people in line came to buy it tomorrow, they could buy it first, and there were discounts, which sent a large group of people away.
When it was approaching dusk, there were a little fewer people, Han Xiaofeng sat directly on the ground and said, "I can finally take a breath, I'm tired." ”
Sun Chao gave a thumbs up and said, "Xiaofeng, you are doing business, you are this, you can't accept it." ”
Liu Er smiled, "That's it, I haven't seen this formation when I'm so old, it's more scary than fighting." ”
As soon as a few people rested for a while, Li Rong hurriedly ran in and said, "Brother Han, there are a few people outside who claim to be from the palace, saying that they want to talk to the boss about a big deal, I don't dare to call the shots, you go and take a look." ”
When Han Xiaofeng heard this, he snickered in his heart, this Li Zhi's movements are quite fast, I just opened and sent silver. “
Han Xiaofeng came to the private room where he was meeting the guests, and sneered in his heart, isn't this the narrow road of the enemy, it is no one else who came, it was Gonggong Liu. Although this father-in-law Liu was also forced to do so at that time, he was always unhappy.
Han Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Yo, it's Gonggong Liu, it's really a rare guest." If you are slack, please Haihan. “
Gonggong Liu knew that what happened last time made the general a little troubled, but there was no way to do it, the master asked me to do it, did I dare to disobey. If it were replaced by other generals, he would not be so flattering, after all, he has been by the emperor's side for a long time, and he still knows His Majesty's thoughts, don't look at the miserable Han Xiaofeng at that time, it is actually extremely important. Otherwise, the matter of this tribute wine will not fall on a criminal minister who trespasses on the forbidden land, you must know how many people are looking at this tribute wine.
Thinking of this, Gonggong Liu smiled and said softly, "Please also ask General Han to be considerate of the old slave, I am also acting on orders, and I have to do it as a last resort." ”
Of course, Han Xiaofeng knew this, but he didn't give any hint to this guy for accepting his own money, and he was not authentic. This person sometimes can't get the will and is rampant, there is no one in his eyes, Han Xiaofeng now knows the three flavors well, and he accepts it when he sees it.
Han Xiaofeng said with a smile: "Of course I understand this, it is not easy for my father-in-law to run errands by His Majesty's side." ”
Gonggong Liu smiled: "Thank you, General Han, for your understanding." ”
Han Xiaofeng
Han Xiaofeng motioned for Gonggong Liu to sit down and asked, "Gonggong Liu came to the shop today, I don't know what to do?" ”
Gonggong Liu smiled and said, "I came this time, but I brought you great news. ”
Han Xiaofeng pretended to be surprised and smiled, "Oh, what good news, father-in-law, tell me quickly." ”
Gonggong Liu pretended to be deep and said, "Your Majesty tasted your drunken eight immortals today, which is full of praise, Chrysostom said that he would use your wine to make tribute wine, do you say this is good news." ”
Han Xiaofeng laughed and said, "It's really too good news." ”
The two discussed the details of the tribute wine, the annual tribute wine in the palace is about 8,000 jars, which is converted into 40,000 taels of silver, which is a lot of silver, but the deposit given by the Internal Affairs Office is enough to 20,000 taels of silver, with this money, you can buy the Li Mansion that Li Zhi said, to put it bluntly, the last silver is still let Li Zhi take it back, and he is really good at doing business. Before leaving, Han Xiaofeng still quietly stuffed a gold ingot into him, it was always right to make this relationship better.
Not long after sending off Gonggong Liu, Chen Ling'er, Shangguan Yue and Chu Ming also rushed over with the news that they didn't know where they knew, and they also prepared a beautiful gift very carefully.
Shangguan Yue said playfully, "We came here at noon, but when we saw so many people, we went to play." But you didn't see us, and only now that there are fewer people, you come here. ”
Han Xiaofeng smiled, "You really have a heart, how did you know that I opened today?" ”
Chen Ling'er smiled and said, "You are stupid, isn't your Tai'an winery also called the Drunken Eight Immortals, it's strange if you can't guess it." ”
Shangguan Yue covered her mouth and snickered, and said, "Brother Han is so stupid. ”
Li Rong was very happy to see Chen Ling'er coming, and the girls finally had a partner and went to the backyard to prepare dinner together.
Chu Ming scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly, "Brother Han, can I discuss something with you?"
Han Xiaofeng smiled, "Everyone is an old acquaintance, what else is there to be embarrassed about." ”
Chu Ming said, "My father heard today that your family's wine is going to be a tribute wine, and I wanted to buy some to go home to my grandfather for his birthday, but I didn't buy it, I thought... I want you to leave me some, okay? If not, forget it, I know I'll have to prepare it for the palace first. ”
Han Xiaofeng saw that he was talking heavily, and secretly laughed, how to say that he was also a student of Chang'an Academy. However, those who can know that these drunken eight immortals have become tribute wine, I think they are also characters who can reach the heavens. When even said, "No problem, come and get it when your family needs it, and I'll prepare it for you first." ”
Chu Ming didn't expect Han Xiaofeng to agree so easily, so he was naturally very happy in his heart, and he saluted several times to express his gratitude.
Seeing that Chu Ming also went to the backyard, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and just wanted to sit down when he saw an old lame man at the door, limping. Han ran out as soon as he could, and said with a smile, "Father-in-law, why are you here, I would have picked you up if I knew it." ”
Dou Yannan looked at Han Xiaofeng like a monster and said, "You don't have a fever, why did you suddenly become so kind?" ”
Han Xiaofeng pinched Dou Yannan's shoulder, and said with a smile, "This camp is a long way away, isn't it afraid that you will be tired." ”
Dou Yannan snorted and said, "It's not a good thing to have nothing to offer, let's say, do you want me to do something." ”
Han Xiaofeng gave a thumbs up, patted his ass and said, "The old man is really smart. ”
Han Xiaofeng explained in detail that he was going to transport the camp, and Dou Yannan said when he heard it, "You kid really knows how to plan it, and it's all calculated on my head." ”
Han Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and said, "There's no way, dozens of my brothers have to eat and drink, they have to make a living, you can't bear to see them live on the streets." ”
Dou Yannan thought for a while and said, "It's okay, anyway, there are hundreds of people on my side who have gone to the Wushuang Battalion, and they are too busy, so you can replace them here." ”
Han Xiaofeng laughed and said, "Then you have to thank General Dou for me." ”
Dou Yannan smiled and said, "Tangmen? Is it your new sect? It's kind of interesting. ”
Han Xiaofeng laughed and said, "Today's Double 11 is really a good day, two big deals are negotiated in one day, and it is really a good luck and double happiness for the opening." Let's go in, old man, let's go in and drink. ”
At the dinner table, Dou Yannan looked at Li Rong's eyes more and more, and she liked it more and more, just like a daughter-in-law, and said that she must make up a meeting gift next time she came to acupuncture. Chen Ling'er watched from the sidelines, feeling very uncomfortable. Envy? Eat one's heart out? Anyway, it's sour, and it's not very pleasant.
When the food was served, Dou Yannan was suddenly immobilized, and looked at her in a daze. Han Xiaofeng said, "Hey, what do you see, I want the old cow to eat tender grass, people are not suitable for you." Then he said to Dou Yannan, "This is Chen Ling'er, the daughter of Chen De, the magistrate of Tai'an County, who is studying at Chang'an Academy, and she is a talented girl." ”
Dou Yannan was stunned for a moment, and said softly, "It's like, it's really like, it's very like." ”
Han Xiaofeng was a little confused, and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about, like who?" ”
Dou Yannan came back to her senses and said in a trance, "No. . . It's nothing, it's just that I recognized the wrong person. “
Han Xiaofeng knew that there must be something hidden in this, Dou Yannan didn't say anything, so he didn't continue to ask, everyone gathered together to celebrate today's special day.
