Chapter 120: The Secret Letter of the Capital

The staff of the restaurant are all in place, and the decoration is done, just a name is missing, Jiang Chuan patted his head and waved his pen: "Heaven and earth" The four words jumped on the paper.

Of course, he still couldn't hold his handwriting, and he was embarrassed to look at it, so he finally asked Liu Ji to write a plaque again.

After tasting this name, everyone was amazed, only Jiang Chuan had a strange face, and thought of something that could not be described and was not enough for outsiders.

In this way, the heavenly and earthly restaurant was opened. According to the plan, a half-month trial operation was carried out first. None of them had ever run a restaurant, and they were all a little apprehensive about the future of their business after opening.

But I didn't expect that as soon as it opened, the first day was full, the upstairs and downstairs were full, and the people who came late couldn't find the table.

This kind of hot scene surprised everyone, and more than a dozen waitresses who worked as waitresses were about to break their legs upstairs and downstairs. Li Dazui took four or five cooks in the back kitchen, sweating like rain in the cold winter of the moon.

Mo Dai was running back and forth between the front hall and the back kitchen, and Qi Xuan was so busy at the counter that she couldn't even lift her head just to settle the accounts.

After closing, when the accounts were settled, the turnover on the first day alone amounted to more than 200 taels of silver, and this was only the first day.

The news was reported to Jiang Chuan, and Jiang Chuan was also surprised. If this continues, the turnover of the restaurant in just one month will be six or seven thousand taels of silver, of which the net profit can be almost three thousand taels.

The rent of the restaurant is not involved, and there are no water and electricity bills, property fees, sanitation fees, and no taxes in this era, which is basically pure profit.

Mo Dai complained that if this continues, it will exceed the restaurant's reception capacity, such as restricting the flow of guests.

Jiang Chuan thought that this hot phenomenon could not last long. Now it is so popular because there is only one restaurant in the whole valley, and everyone has no choice. Second, these businessmen were also tired of eating the rough food in the barracks, and as soon as they heard that a restaurant was opening, they immediately came to improve their lives.

Therefore, the membership system mentioned earlier can be launched in due course. By becoming a member of Heaven and Earth, you can not only enjoy discounts, but also enjoy priority and distinguished services. A total of diamond, gold, silver and bronze four kinds of members, looking for a craftsman to carve the shape of the leaves with cow bones, carved on the top according to different levels of different marks, and all the numbers made into membership cards, recharge in advance, not respectively enjoy the dishes of seven fold, eight fold, nine fold, nine point five off discount.

In terms of alcohol, it is also discounted accordingly according to the above discount ratio.

Moreover, Jiangchuan also stipulates that the restaurant will be declared to the outside world, because the reception capacity of the restaurant is limited, and it will only accept members in the future.

Mo Dai and the others were worried that this trick would make customers stop, but Jiang Chuan was full of confidence.

Business was still booming on the second day, even more than on the first day. Many people also come here, in addition to not having to choose this objective factor, Li Dazui's craftsmanship has become the main reason for attracting repeat customers.

In addition, the waitresses in the restaurant are young and beautiful, so it has become a big reason to attract customers.

Seeing this situation, Mo Dai and Qi Xuan also began to have confidence in the implementation of the membership system.

On the third day, the membership system was officially launched, and all 300 membership cards were sold out in one day. Among them, the diamond card must be recharged with 500 taels of silver at a time, and there are only 30 pieces; The gold card was recharged with three hundred taels of silver, and there were only fifty; The silver card is recharged with two hundred taels of silver, a total of one hundred; The bronze card is recharged with one hundred taels of silver, for a total of one hundred and twenty cards.

The number of silver taels stored in advance of the membership card alone has reached 62,000 taels of silver.

Looking at the thick pile of silver tickets of various denominations in front of them, as well as silver ingots and broken silver, Mo Dai and Qi Xuan were both dumbfounded, they didn't expect the consumption power of these merchants to be so strong.

In fact, what they didn't know was that Jiang Chuan quietly released the news, saying that this heavenly and earthly restaurant was opened by Wu Anhou, so this time it stimulated the nerves of these keen businessmen.

Many people do not apply for cards for consumption, but mainly to get to know and befriend Wu'anhou.

Businessmen have the most keen sense of smell, and many people can already smell the unstoppable momentum of Wu'anhou's rise, so this is not so much a kind of buying a card as an emotional investment.

Although Jiang Chuan expected this result to a certain extent, he didn't expect it to be so popular. I was also excited to hear that I had received more than 60,000 taels of silver in one day.

There is no money for the venue, and there is basically no money for the raw materials, most of which are obtained from the fortress base. It's the same with alcohol. The only thing is that the monthly money and bonuses of personnel are the bulk of the expenses.

At present, it seems that this restaurant will become a stable source of income in its own hands.

In such a hot situation, the restaurant only opened after three days of trial operation. On the day of the opening, Jiang Chuan took Liu Ji and the three generals to make an appearance, which was equivalent to directly making the previous rumors true, so it detonated the scene.

After the business of the restaurant was put on track, the entire commercial street also opened as scheduled. From the next moment when Liu Ji announced the opening of the market, thousands of people suddenly poured into the flat and spacious streets of the entire commercial street, and almost all the people who could come from the valley came.

Even if many people don't have spare money to buy things, it can't stop everyone's enthusiasm to watch the excitement.

In order to prevent a group stampede with too many people, Jiang Chuan also dispatched 1,000 soldiers to help maintain order.

Although the pestles of these soldiers on both sides of the street were not so pleasant to watch, the crowd continued unabated. More than 100 businesses also tried all kinds of means to attract customers on the first day of opening.

The whole commercial street is very lively, full of people, it can really be called shoulder to shoulder, and it is estimated that the clothes can be worn out after walking back and forth a few times.

In order to prevent the crowd from continuing to pour in, Liu Ji placed people on both sides of the commercial street and began to prevent the crowd from continuing to enter the commercial street. If you want to enter, you can only let in some people after the other end has released some people.

Under the leadership of Liu Ji, all the people in the Yamen of the Civil Affairs Department were busy one by one, and that's it, still under the condition that 2,000 people were transferred from the military camp to help maintain order.

It was bustling outside, but Jiang Chuan was in the Hou Mansion looking at a secret letter from Bai Jinxiu that he had just received from Datong City.

The secret letter was transferred from the black ice platform in the capital. said that it was Li Jinzhong, the celebrant and eunuch, and it was the news sent by Li Jinzhong, who was co-opted by Jiang Chuan after he came to deliver the decree last time.

According to the news, Yuan Chonghuan continued to preside over the suppression of the Kou after being recalled to Beijing by the emperor. But I don't know if Yuan Chonghuan's methods didn't work, or if the rogues became more cunning, they lost battles and lost their troops, and the emperor put Yuan Chonghuan in prison in a fit of rage.

Now there is a minister named Sun Chuanting as the commander to continue to support the suppression of the Kou.

After reading the news, Jiang Chuan sighed, it seems that this Yuan Inspector has turned his luck since he met him, and he really doesn't know what will happen.

Sun Chuanting? It's another familiar name, and it seems to be a fierce man. However, to say that this person can kill Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, Jiang Chuan feels that it is not realistic.

Of course, he is not thinking about this question now, but a question that is thinking farther ahead.

Because, the news sent by Li Jinzhong said that the old emperor of the Ming Dynasty was sick, and it was very serious, sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious, I don't know how long I can survive.
