Chapter 22: Three Kingdoms Fever

Even if Li Yuanhao made a rebellion and caused turmoil in the northwest, it did not change the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, and the increasingly wealthy people became more and more greedy for comfort and convenience, and they didn't even bother to cook. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It is definitely a good choice to get up early and spend ten cents to eat a bowl of steaming meat sauce noodles, which is full and delicious, and after adding the noodle delivery business, Wang Ningan estimates that he will sell 2,000 bowls of noodles a day.

Compared with later generations, the Song people's non-staple food melons and fruits are still pitiful, so the nutrition of the day is on the staple food, a large bowl of noodles, almost as much as the amount of three bowls in later generations, at least one pound of noodles, so calculated, Haifeng Restaurant will consume more than ten stone flour a day, which is not a small amount!

There are two main sources of flour under the eyes, one is purchased on the market, and the other is shipped by Uncle Wu.

Uncle Wu originally went to the city to sell grain, and after knowing that the Wang family had opened a restaurant, he took the initiative to find it, and his father couldn't let his neighbors suffer, so he collected seven or eight stones of flour from Uncle Wu every day according to the market price, and then bought the same amount of flour from the grain store.

I have to say that if you sell more, you have to be careful in your calculations, if the flour can reduce the price a little, even if a stone is cheaper than dozens of yuan, you can earn hundreds of dollars more a day, or even consistent money.

Wang Liangjing wanted to nod, but he had a little more heart, "Second brother, can you tell the younger brother where the flour comes from?" ”

The second uncle, Wang Liangxun, sank his face and said dissatisfiedly: "Why do you ask so much, can you still be a brother and pit you?" I can tell you, many people are looking for my brother, I think we are all brothers, it is not easy for you to make money, help, so let's ask someone to send a hundred stones in the afternoon, 600 wen per stone, and after half a month, I will give you another hundred stones. ”

600 Wen?

Wang Liangjing opened his mouth wide in surprise, this price is too cheap!

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, like the previous dynasties, they all experienced the process of falling prices due to grain abundance, and once a bucket of rice was only sold for 30 yuan, but a few years ago, the Western Xia rebellion, the financial gap of the imperial court expanded, and the issuance of insufficient value was ten iron coins, which made the price soar, and now a stone of flour on the market costs seven or eight hundred Wen, and Wang Liangxun only needs 600 Wen, which is really cheap!

If it is all at this price, the restaurant can earn more than thirty or forty yuan a month, which is equivalent to doubling the profit, which is really a great thing!

It's just such a big good thing, but Wang Ningan categorically refused.

"Second uncle, we are doing serious business and making hard-earned money, I can't help it, we understand your kindness."

"Ning'an!" Wang Liangjing was still a little reluctant, but seeing Wang Ning'an's grim eyes, he had no choice but to say: "Second brother, Ning'an is right, we don't dare to ask for this unknown thing." ”

"Phew!"

Wang Liangxun jumped up angrily, "What is the unknown origin?" Who have I become in your eyes? If it weren't for the family's face, I wouldn't bother to care about you. Don't give some benefits, what a fool! Big fool! ”

Wang Liangxun was so angry that he scolded a few words, Wang Liangjing made up his mind, but he didn't let go, and finally Wang Liangxun was so angry that he had no choice but to flick his sleeves and leave the restaurant.

……

"Ning An, tell me, what is the second brother's calculations, where did he get the food?"

Wang Ningan sneered slightly, "Where else did he come from, and where did he do things?" ”

"Zhizhou Yamen!" Wang Liangjing was taken aback, "Could it be that he said...... Second brother, he was greedy for the food of the imperial court? ”

"Probably so." Wang Ningan said: "There will be no pie in the sky, where is the cheap grain?" It's not that he's embezzling the grain of the greedy Mo court, the second uncle is here to sell the stolen goods at all! ”

After a lot of days in the restaurant, Wang Liangjing also figured it out, the regular grain stores are inspected by the imperial court from time to time, and the sale is taxed, and the grain must come in from legal channels, and as for the scattered vendors, they can't buy much grain.

If Wang Liangxun gets grain from the imperial court, it is the best choice to take the path of a restaurant, the amount is large enough, and it is not easy to attract attention, and it is well calculated!

"How can the second brother be like this?" Wang Liangjing suddenly stood up and said angrily: "Lord Zhizhou appreciates him and exalts him, how can he be corrupt and pervert the law, if Lord Zhizhou knows about it, if he doesn't drive him home, his future will be ruined!" ”

It's good to be able to rush home, if you let Bao Heizi know, you won't cut off the second uncle's head! Wang Ningan secretly thought, but he knew that Wang Ningan didn't want to be a bad person, looking at the virtue of the second uncle, he wouldn't shed tears if he didn't see the coffin, and he wouldn't die if he didn't go to the Yellow River, if he kindly reminded him, maybe he would suspect that Wang Ning'an and his family had told him!

"Dad, since they are all separated, let's take care of each other, take advantage of the good momentum of the business, let's hurry up and make more money."

Wang Liangjing was silent for a long time, and he could also see that the second brother was proud of the spring breeze and self-righteous, so he would definitely not listen to the persuasion. It's good to make more money, in case there is such a day, if you have money, you may be able to help, if you don't have money, you can only watch the second brother be unlucky.

……

In the next half month, the Wang family father and son, including the upper and lower parts of the restaurant, were so busy that they hit the back of their heads, Wang Liangjing took the time to go back to Tuta Village, bought some snacks and fruits for Mrs. Wang and her mother, and gave them two pieces of money, so that they should not worry, just eat and drink well.

A few months later, Xiang Hao and others also practiced their cooking skills, and the soybeans were harvested, and Haifeng Restaurant could officially sell stir-fried vegetables, without the name of the restaurant, and the business of dry noodle restaurant.

However, only 100 acres of soybeans, is still too little, Wang Liangjing found Uncle Wu, and after discussing with him, Uncle Wu personally came forward, found 20 households in Tuta Village, and signed a contract with Wang Liangjing, Wang Liangjing gave them a minimum protection price, even if the market price is lower than the protection price, Wang Liangjing also collects according to the protection price, if the market price is higher than the protection price, then according to the market price.

Obviously, this agreement protects the interests of the farmers and prevents the peasants from being hurt by the grain.

Moreover, Wang Liangjing promised that the only requirement for all cash acquisition was to give priority to the sale to Haifeng Restaurant. Of course, the villagers readily agreed, and praised Wang Laosi for his benevolence and righteousness, and did not forget the villagers after he was developed.

Subsequently, Wang Liangjing took out another ten yuan and handed it to Uncle Wu, asking him to buy 200 piglets and build a pigsty.

Uncle Wu has raised pigs, what can be difficult? Isn't it just a fence with wood, and the pigs can't get out. What kind of dung, urine, rain, and dirt were all mixed together, and the pig's limbs were deeply sunk in the stinking and black mud, which was why the scholars despised pork, it was too pickled.

But Wang Liangjing gave him a drawing, which completely subverted Uncle Wu's impression.

First of all, the pigsty must be clean and tidy, but also add a shed, rain and sun protection, the pen is also divided into two parts, one part is for sleeping, to be raised with wooden boards, spread with clean straw, warm and comfortable.

Outside is a place for activity, defecation, eating, water must be clean, food must be fresh, feces must be cleaned every day, and water must be rinsed......

Uncle Wu listened to the contents one by one and kept inhaling.

"I said fourth brother, you are raising pigs, or are you a pension grandfather! Do you need to be so careful? ”

"You need it!" Wang Liangjing's tone was unquestionable, "The pigs we raise should be different, you just follow the above methods, I will come back every ten days, if you dare to slack off, see if I don't settle accounts with you." ”

Uncle Wu gritted his teeth, "Cheng, as long as you can make money, you can serve Uncle Pig as an ancestor!" ”

……

Dad ran at both ends, and Xiang Hao found that the business was too busy, and the six of them couldn't stand it, so they recruited four more guys to be responsible for delivering food, and in less than half a month's effort, a pair of shoes leaked the bottom. The happiest thing is to pay a salary every ten days, which is 500 copper coins, and I will not fool things with those iron coins. The newcomers felt that it was worth the extra tiredness.

Wang Ningan is also not easy, in addition to teaching several cooking skills, he also writes "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" every day.

Speaking of which, it's also to blame Han Toad, originally said that it was good, but when Wang Ningan got the things done in the restaurant, he would officially talk about the Three Kingdoms. But these days, Han Toad has learned several jokes from Wang Ning'an, and many old listeners' appetites have been raised, and they shout every day to tell new stories, and if they don't tell them, they won't come.

One day, Han Toad was really forced to have no choice, so he told Wang Ningan about the first two chapters of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" given to him, who knows, this talk is not tight, and it immediately alarmed countless people, and the next day the teahouse listened to more than twice as much.

The big guys are shouting, you must listen to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the reason why it is so popular is actually for a reason, the story of the Three Kingdoms has long been spread far and wide, and many storytellers also tell it, but they are all intercepted paragraphs, and they are inconsistent, conflicting, and unsystematic.

Han Toad started from Taoyuan and the Yellow Turban with one mouth, and captured everyone's hearts at once. Faced with a generous reward, Han Toad couldn't help but talk about it. But this time Wang Ningan was miserable, and he had to work hard to catch up with the draft.

"I stayed up late in my last life and coded words just a few days ago, and I have to rush the manuscript again, why is my life so bitter!"

Wang Ningan shook his head and sighed, but he didn't dare to slack off, the current Wang Ning'an was like a little squirrel in autumn, he didn't want to let go of any opportunity to make money, and desperately stored every grain of food.

After hurriedly writing five chapters, Wang Ningan hurriedly rushed to the teahouse where Han Toad was telling stories, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the teahouse, he happened to come to Bread Heizi and Gongsun Ce one after the other, and met face to face.
