Chapter 23 Opening Activities
In front of Prince Restaurant.
"Well, it looks okay." Li Chengqian looked at the Prince Restaurant in front of him, which was better than all the restaurants in Chang'an City, and Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction.
What is the most important thing about a loser? Loser!! And secondly? Naturally, it's face.
The very luxuriously decorated restaurant in front of him is obviously Li Chengqian's ideal restaurant.
Well, though it's not as good as a 21st century hotel. But in the Tang Dynasty, this was definitely the first one.
Yes, yes, it is worthy of Ma Zhou, who was pinned on by Li Chengqian. Not only does it cost a lot of money, but it is also reassuring.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what you said is that the main role of our restaurant is to make money from those nobles, and combined with your opinions, Your Royal Highness the Prince, the minister built such a restaurant." Ma Zhou smiled and said.
"Well, yes, I'm satisfied." Not to mention anything else, as for the two huge stone lions in front of the door, Li Chengqian was very satisfied. There's also a four-story restaurant, tsk.
The buildings of the Tang Dynasty were only two floors at the highest. The palace is still only one floor. The four-story building suddenly looks tall.
"Wow!!" Qiu Ren also seems to like this restaurant very much.
"This..."
"It is worthy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Four floors, tsk. The guards were also stunned by Li Chengqian's generosity.
"The décor inside is no different, is it?" Li Chengqian thought for a while and asked.
Li Chengqian's initial idea was that the first layer would be consumed by ordinary people, and the second layer would be consumed by ordinary nobles and scholars. The third layer is prepared by those who really stand at the pinnacle of power in this world. As for the fourth layer, that is what Li Chengqian prepared for his royal family.
The first floor, which can accommodate the most people. After all, the common people are still the most.
One level higher, the area will be reduced a lot. This is the architectural style of the restaurant that Li Chengqian derived according to the proportions. And such a cone-shaped building should also look aesthetically pleasing.
As for the decoration of the restaurant, as a prince, you can't just decorate the first floor just because the first floor is a place for ordinary people to eat. If this is the case, the common people will definitely be dissatisfied. and even caused riots. Moreover, Li Chengqian's reputation will also be bad because of this.
Therefore, Li Chengqian's requirement is that the decoration style of each floor should be the same. The only difference is that each tier has a different level of consumption. You can't let the nobles spend several times more money than the common people to eat the same thing as the boss's surname.
In this case, the nobles will also be dissatisfied, and it is estimated that Li Chengqian will have to be impeached all the time.
I have to say that it is really troublesome to open a restaurant as a prince.
"It's all done according to your Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Ma Zhou nodded and said
"That's good." Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Have you already found the ingredients for the chef?" Li Chengqian then asked.
"Tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that the chef's words have been arranged. As for the ingredients, because the amount we want is a bit large, we don't prepare much. Ma Zhou thought for a while and said.
"Eh, how much money do I have left?" Li Chengqian asked suspiciously.
Although Li Chengqian gave Ma Zhou about 150 yuan in activity funds, there are so many things to be completed, and if all of them are completed, it seems impossible.
"Tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that all the money has been spent. Because our restaurant has been built today, even the ingredients, tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks are temporarily obtained on credit. Ma Zhou said with an embarrassed face.
"However, fortunately, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a good reputation, and no one is unwilling to pay on credit."
"...", feelings are credit again. Li Chengqian said, how could that little money support such a big restaurant.
"Zhang San, you go back and transfer a few hundred more times. Take it and give it to Ma Zhou. ”
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, hundreds are too many. Fifty is almost enough. Ma Zhou hurriedly said.
Tables, chairs, dishes, chopsticks and anything are not very valuable. About twenty is about the same. The ingredients are even less valuable. Although the amount is large, it is more than enough for thirty runs.
Li Chengqian mobilized hundreds of national treasury in this way, and Ma Zhou was very worried that Li Chengqian would be deposed by Li Shimin.
"You're done here, and I still have a tea maker on the other side that I need your help with. The amount of work over there is larger, and the cost is even more. Li Chengqian explained.
"Don't worry, the tea maker was appointed by my father himself."
"Oh." Ma Zhou nodded and continued. "His Royal Highness Prince Xie has given him a heavy responsibility, and the minister will definitely live up to his mission."
As he spoke, Ma Zhou knelt down on one knee.
"What are you doing here?" Li Chengqian hurriedly helped Ma Zhou up.
"Just do things well, it doesn't matter if you have these or not."
"Yes." Ma Zhou immediately nodded.
"Okay, Zhang San, you go and mobilize the treasury." Li Chengqian turned his head and said to Zhang San.
"Yes." Zhang San nodded, and immediately rode his horse in the direction of the palace.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know what the name of the restaurant should be?" Ma Zhou asked.
The restaurant built by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince naturally needs a domineering name. Ma Zhou is very much looking forward to Li Chengqian's name.
"It's called the Prince Restaurant." Li Chengqian smiled and said.
"Prince Restaurant?" Ma Zhou nodded, although the four words Prince Restaurant did not use any particularly flowery words, but it was undoubtedly the best name for the restaurant.
Immediately, Ma Zhou immediately went to arrange for someone to install the four big characters of the Prince Restaurant on the front window of the restaurant.
"Ahem!!" After arranging the things to be arranged, and looking at the more and more people around him, Li Chengqian cleared his throat.
"Presumably, everyone who came here knows that today is the first day of the opening of our Prince Restaurant. Presumably, everyone also knows the opening event that Prince Ben said. Li Chengqian said loudly.
Hey, in ancient times, no microphone was troublesome, and you had to shout at the top of your throat to even shout a word. Moreover, shouting at the top of his voice may not be able to be heard.
Li Chengqian was wondering if he had to spend money to invent a horn or something.
"Got it, His Royal Highness the Prince."
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you continue."
"I heard that the opening event is to be able to find a place to sit down, and you don't need money to order food, right?"
Hearing Li Chengqian's voice, everyone began to boil.
“... The crowd that made a fuss at this time made Li Chengqian not know what to say for a moment.
Nonsense, it's useless to say anything at this time. Because, without a microphone, no matter what Li Chengqian said, they couldn't hear it.
Even when the guards spoke to Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian couldn't hear it.
After a long time, seeing that Li Chengqian had not spoken, people quieted down.
"The news you have heard is correct, our Prince Hotel, today's event is that as long as you can find a place to sit down, all the consumption will be paid by the prince himself."
