As long as people live, they must eat and drink, and only after eating and drinking can they live. This sentence sounds a bit contradictory, and this question bothers many people. They don't know what they're here to do, to do great things. It's not their turn, don't do things? So what's the point of being alive? But they still want to live, and in order to live hard, they have to find ways to eat.

Since ancient times, the people have taken food as the sky is the biggest truth, and if there is no food to eat, they will find you desperately, whether you are the emperor or a rich man. Brothers kill each other, and Yi Zi eats for a bite in the final analysis. In front of eating, everything else is nonsense, and only when you are well fed and clothed will you think of other things, such as politics, such as philosophy, as well as painting, music, and even sex.

At the beginning of Su Ren's business, he aimed at eating, starting from the bag of salt, to the later Cuixiang Building, no matter when, Su Ren did not give up eating this most profitable and most consumer industry from ancient times to the present.

The first Cuixiang Building opened in Chengdu, from the first day of opening, it shocked the entire Shu County, and the delicious food that has never been seen in the world gathered here, making the whole Chengdu crazy. Later, Cuixiang Building was opened to Chang'an, and Su Ren ingeniously increased entertainment and turned it into a high-end wine shop that eats and plays, satisfying all the interests of the rich.

Shouchun Cuixianglou is Su Ren's tenth branch, although Shouchun is now in a bad environment, today's opening is still sought after by the rich and powerful people who stay in Shouchun. From early in the morning, a steady stream of diners poured in, and soon the lobby and the second floor were filled. There are still queues on the streets.

Su Ren stood at the door, with a smile on his face, and thanked him when he met someone, whether he knew him or not, as long as he came, he would be cheered for, and the necessary face would still be given. When Zuo Wu and Wu were seen in front of Su Ren, Su Ren stretched out his hand to stop the two.

"Two, I said you are not welcome in Cuixiang Building."

Zuo Wu smiled: "Mr. said a joke, today I am here to congratulate Mr." ”

Su Ren smiled: "I never tell jokes, I must do whatever I say." ”

"Mr. Su......"

Su Ren pursed his lips and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please, but the direction was just the opposite of others: "Please, today is the opening of my wine shop, I don't want to be rude." ”

Just when Zuo Wu and Wu were embarrassed, a long sound suddenly came from the street. The crowded Cuixiang Mansion immediately quieted down, and a luxury carriage drove to the front of the Cuixiang Mansion under the attention of the crowd. Su Ren threw down Zuo Wu and Wu was hurriedly ran over, opened the curtain of the carriage with his own hands, and Liu An came out of it with a smile.

glanced up and said to Su Ren: "Su Zhonglang's business is prosperous, so many people cheer for Zhonglang?" ”

"The king of Huainan smiled, the king please, the private room on the third floor has been prepared, I will let people prepare wine and food, please taste the craftsmanship of my Cuixiang Building."

"Hahaha...... then the king is welcome!" Accompanied by Su Ren, Liu An walked in while laughing, and didn't even glance at Zuo Wu and Wu who were standing at the door.

According to Su Ren's pricing, the minimum consumption of the private room on the third floor of Cuixiang Building is 500 yuan, which does not include singing and dancing, and other paid services. Even with such a high price, the booking time is already ten days later. This alone shows that there are still many rich people in Huainan Kingdom, and there are many people who are willing to spend at least 1,000 yuan for a meal.

Liu Hong, Duan Hong, the prime minister, the lieutenant and other major officials of Huainan were already waiting in the private room on the third floor, and when Liu An came in, everyone hurriedly got up and saluted.

Liu An smiled and waved his hand very gracefully to signal everyone to sit down. The first time he sat on this kind of Taishi chair, holding the handle with both hands, leaning his back on the back of the chair, and stretching his legs on his own, Liu An felt extremely comfortable. In front of him was a large round table, the middle part was slightly raised, and a slightly smaller plank was dragged on top of the oiled wooden shaft, which could be turned from side to side with a little effort.

"Good stuff, really good stuff! Su Zhonglang's Cuixiang Building is indeed unique, and it won't hurt that the three hundred gold will be earned back in a short time. Liu An actually mentioned Liu Buxian's name first, which flattered Liu Buxian.

Su Ren said with a smile: "I am a person who relieves promises, and I can't let the eldest prince's three hundred gold go down the drain, right?" ”

Everyone laughed loudly, and looked at Liu Buharm for the first time, which made the eldest prince of Huainan a little uncomfortable.

The dishes come up one after another, and you can't forget the style or taste at a glance. What surprised these turtles the most was that every time the boy served a dish, he would introduce the name and method of the dish in detail, and he was not afraid of being stolen by someone who wanted to learn it.

When the last dish was served, a fat man dressed in white appeared in the house. The man knelt down and kowtowed to everyone, Su Ren got up and said: "This is my Fan Sanpang, the head of Cuixiang Building, all the dishes are from him, if you want to hold a banquet in the house in the future, you can invite him, but the price is a bit high." ”

Liu Hong smiled: "How tall?" ”

"Not counting the preparations, it's three hundred dollars to make a table of such a banquet."

Liu An almost didn't squirt out a sip of wine, stared at the beads of his eyes, and swallowed the wine desperately: "Three hundred dollars? Then if you don't have to pay five hundred yuan to prepare the ingredients, you can eat such a banquet? ”

"The king is a man who understands!" Su Ren said: "Does the king know how much money this Fan Sanpang withdraws from Cuixiang Building every month?" ”

Liu An shook his head and said he didn't know.

Su Ren pulled Fan Sanpang up: "Come, Fan is in charge of the spoon, so as not to believe you." ”

Fan Sanpang smiled: "The monthly ringing money is 5,000 yuan!" ”

Everyone was speechless, a lowly cook earns 5,000 yuan a month, 60,000 yuan a year, and more than 10,000 stone in exchange for grain and rice.

Su Ren continued: "In addition to these, not counting the rewards of various festivals, as well as the money that people earn from going to your mansions, in addition, as a spoon, there is half a component of red every year, and it is not a big deal to calculate 100,000 yuan a year." ”

Looking at this Fan Sanfat again, except for Liu An, the king of Huainan, everyone else has a feeling of being ashamed of themselves. They each thought that they were full of talent, and they followed the ass of King Huainan all day long, and in the end they were only enough to support their families. And Su Ren's little-known lowly cook, who has 100,000 yuan a year, is still Shouchun, and those spoons in Chang'an and Chengdu must be higher, thinking of this, everyone covered their chests and tried not to vomit blood.

Su Ren sent Fan Sanpang away, looked at everyone again, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it, right?" A boss has 100,000 yuan a year, and the 300 gold invested by the eldest prince can be earned back in less than half a year, as long as this Cuixianglou is in one day, the eldest prince can do nothing, just count the money at home all day. ”

Liu Buxian was a little excited in his heart, although he was not used to Su Ren talking about money in public, but he also knew that Su Ren was fighting for his face. Although he has no intention of fighting for any throne, he can live a richer life with money, no longer have to be so shabby, and he can be tough when talking to others. The reason why Liu Buxian is looked down upon is because he has no way to get money, although he is not a family member, he is also the most down-and-out son in Huainan Kingdom, so there are those snobs who don't take him as a big son in their eyes. Now that it's okay, if you have money, your natural status will rise, the key is that this money is your own, and it has nothing to do with your father Liu An, you can spend it as much as you want, and no one can say anything about him.

Liu Buxian glanced at Su Ren gratefully. Su Ren picked up his glass: "Come on, come on, if any of you are interested, you can continue to invest, in addition to this Cuixiang Building, there are many ways to make money in my hands." ”

One sentence raised the interest of those smart people, if it weren't for Liu An's presence, there might be a few people talking about investment with Su Ren immediately.

Liu Hong had an idea, turned his head to look at Liu An, and said, "I intend to cooperate with Mr. Su, I don't know if it's possible?" ”

"Oh? Okay, as long as the fifth prince is rich, he can say anything, I'm a businessman who sees money, hahaha......"

Liu Hong raised his head, and a few more people looked at Liu An timidly, and also began to inquire about Su Ren's business. Su Ren knew everything about this, and talked about his business in a big way, and the guys who listened to it couldn't wait to go home and get the money now.

Liu An coughed: "Today I came to congratulate Su Zhonglang, what kind of system are you so impatient?" ”

Everyone hurriedly shut up. Liu An put away his stiff face and said to Su Ren: "My Huainan people are in difficulty, if Su Zhonglang can spread these things you said in my Huainan, this king is willing to pay money and work with Su Zhonglang for the benefit of the people of Huainan." ”

"Okay! With the king in charge, everything is easy to say, and the matter is decided! ”

There was a black line on everyone's heads, and they couldn't take their stomachs, and they didn't look at Liu An's eyes right. I thought to myself, Liu An, an old boy, is preventing others from getting rich, but he shamelessly goes up, and his own king is at this level, hehe.

After having a meal in Cuixiang Building, Liu An took everyone to leave, gave Liu Hong a look at the door, and Liu Hong got into Liu An's carriage. Waiting for the crowd, Liu An asked Liu Hong: "Do you think this matter can be done?" ”

Liu Hong smiled: "Su Ren said those words just to raise his brother, since my brother can earn money from Su Ren, why can't we?" Only the money obtained in this way will not say much, and even if there is guilt, Su Ren will be blamed, which is much better than the scheming and robbing of the prince. ”

"Hey!" Liu An sighed: "What this king is worried about is that although Su Ren is good at business, no one can say that he will make money in business, in case ......"

"Since the father has some concerns, the child can vote less, let's see the situation first, even if there is any mistake, we will not lose too much."

Liu An nodded: "It's okay, since those incidents, the private soldiers raised have suffered huge losses, and there is Ling'er's spending in Chang'an, so you really need to find another way to make money, you just find a few reliable merchants to come forward, you and my father and son can't be criticized on this." ”

"The child understands!"
