Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Opening of a Hot Pot Restaurant
Xu Rong, a native of Xuansu County, has a different reputation in history, some people say that he defeated Sun Jian first and then Cao Cao, which is enough to make him one of the first-line generals of the Three Kingdoms. On the other hand, because of his early death, he failed to catch up with the era of the heroes, and there are very few historical records left behind, so some people think that Xu Rong is just touted by later generations.
However, no matter what later generations say, Xu Rongneng in this era is a foreigner, and he holds the position of Zhonglang General in the Xiliang Army, which has a strong xenophobic surname, and his name is Duan Xuan, Dong Yue, Niu Fu and others, which is enough to show Xu Rong's ability.
In fact, Xu Rong's role in the Xiliang Army is somewhat similar to another tragic hero Gao Shun, they all belong to their own extremely strong abilities, but unfortunately because of their origin and personal style, they can never become the monarch's henchmen, they are picked up when they are used, and they are thrown aside when they are not used.
However, compared with most generals of this era, he was more like a professional soldier in later generations, no matter how unfair he encountered, after receiving Dong Zhuo's order, he still did not hesitate to pick up the soldiers and horses of his headquarters and embarked on the journey north to arrest Liu Wei.
Lishui, a branch formed by the Yellow River flowing southward through Pingyin County.
Xu Rong stood solemnly on the bank of the Lishui River in a military uniform and a sword, letting the cloak blown by the north wind "whirring", the majestic body was unshaken, but the face covered with wind and frost was a dignified color.
It has been three days since I received the order, and if the road had gone smoothly, with the speed of the Xiliang cavalry, I would have been able to step into the territory of Hanoi County in these three days.
It's a pity that Niu Fu lost Pingyin County, an important strategic location, so that his army was blocked on the banks of the Lishui River and could not move.
"Shogun Nakaro." Captain Yang Ding strode over, clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "The last general is back." ”
"The renovation has returned, has the enemy situation been investigated?" Xu Rong turned his senses, and his blazing gaze fell on Yang Ding.
"Lord Hui Zhonglang, the last general has already investigated clearly." Yang Ding nodded, and said in a deep voice: "After the white wave thief Guo Da occupied Pingyin County, he left Han Kui and Li Le to guard the two thieves, while he himself returned to Laochao Heyang County, and when he left, he set up a heavy defense in Mengjin Port. ”
"That's right." Xu Rong Zhou Lei frowned, Mengjin Port is an important passage to Hanoi County, and the white wave thieves set up heavy troops to defend Mengjin Port, making it clear that they would not be allowed to pass easily, and asked: "In addition to Mengjin Port, where else can I cross the river?" ”
"This..."Yang Ding hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Except for Mengjin Port, the nearest place to cross the river is Xiaopingjin. ”
"Xiao Pingjin?" Xu Rong shook his head and said softly: "It's not proper, if you make a detour to Xiaopingjin, I don't know how much time it will take, and if you cross the river from Xiaopingjin, you need to make a detour again, it's not appropriate..."
Yang Ding's face showed a solemn expression, and he said in a condensed voice: "My lord, if Xiao Pingjin is not appropriate, he can only attack Mengjin Port." ”
Xu Rong narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a long time, and suddenly opened his eyes, a fine light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then storm Mengjin Port, and you can order Li Dao, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji to go to the big tent to wait." ”
"No!"
。。。。。。
Liu Biao did not know the news that Dong Zhuo had sent Xu Rong to arrest him, and at this time he was busy with the opening of the hot pot restaurant, and after repeated negotiations, the three major families in Hanoi and Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Hanoi, jointly contributed funds, each accounting for 35 percent of the shares, while Liu Biao invested in the shares with technology and occupied 30 percent of the shares.
In fact, occupying 30% of the shares is a big loss in Liu Wei's own opinion, after all, the hot pot ingredients can be exchanged through the system, and there is no other semicolon for this one.
However, after all, in addition to the matter of partnering to open a hot pot restaurant now, in the future, he will have to rely on the three major families and Wang Kuang to gain a firm foothold in Hanoi County, so he will suffer a little loss first, anyway, he plans to open a branch, once he has a firm foothold in Hanoi County, he will pull up his own team, thirty-five percent, and there is no door.
Storefronts and the like, with the existence of Wang Kuang, these don't have to worry about Liu Wei at all, and soon set up a storefront in the most prosperous place in Dongshi, he went to see this storefront, the terrain is good, there is nothing to say, the most important thing is that this piece belongs to the place where food is most concentrated.
In fact, to open a store to do business, the more similar the concentration of the place to buy and sell, the easier it is to do, because everyone runs to this place when they eat, if you make a good meal, it is naturally a prosperous business.
On the other hand, if you are ingenious and rashly open a restaurant in a non-catering center, no matter whether the food you cook is suitable or not, at least people will not consider your restaurant first.
As for the decoration style, Liu Wei did not make any alternative decoration, after all, the current mainstream decoration style is very good, the general restaurant is basically divided into three floors, corresponding to the upper, middle and lower three people, the price is naturally very different.
However, for the form of opening, Liu Wei has quite a few words, not to mention the salute and ribbon cutting that are familiar to several later generations. Welcome and other ceremonies, at least you have to send an advertisement, now it's good, after asking to learn that there is a ceremony, that is, contact relatives and friends to post to inform each other, and then it's gone~
"Ugh..."
Liu Wei couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.
"The hot pot restaurant will open in a few days, why does Your Highness sigh?" Wang Kuang, Sima Fang, Ma Yong, and Zhang Ye came together.
"Ladies and gentlemen." Liu Wei fell on the four of them, shook his head and said: "The opening ceremony of the hot pot restaurant is too simple, just posting to relatives and friends, which is too hasty and inappropriate." ”
"This...."The four of them glanced at each other, Wang Kuang frowned and said, "According to His Highness's wishes, how should this opening ceremony be held?" ”
Liu Wei waved his hand and said: "Just leave the opening ceremony to Lone, in short, Lone must let the whole city know about the opening of the hot pot restaurant, so as to attract popularity." ”
Zhang also frowned, and asked puzzledly: "Your Highness's intention is that even the people should be notified?" ”
"Yes, of course, let the people of the whole city know, not only let the people of the whole city know, but also let the people of the entire Hanoi County know in the future." Liu Wei looked at the puzzled eyes of the four people, and said patiently: "Think about it, how many wealthy families can there be in this Huaixian County?" And how many people are there? ”
"Xunzi once said that if you don't accumulate steps, you can't lead to thousands of miles; If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas. Even if the per capita consumption is less than one-tenth or even one percent of the families such as yours, it can add up to a lot, and the main consumer in the end is still the people. ”
Although the four of them didn't understand what Liu Wei meant by per capita consumption, they still understood the overall meaning.
"Your Highness."
Several people were discussing, and Xu Huang pushed open the door and strode in.
"Komeito is here."
Liu Wei's face was overjoyed, he suddenly got up, greeted him and asked, "Has the matter been done?" ”
When Xu Huang heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Highness, the general will not do his best, but... Just ....."
To tell the truth, at this time, Xu Huang wanted to die, Liu Wei gave him a piece of clothing and asked him to find a woman to try it on, Xu Huang didn't think much about it at first, but when he got it, he was completely dumbfounded, this is the clothes, they are just several layers of cloth, not to mention that the woman is unwilling to wear it, but he blushes when he sees it.
"Doesn't anyone want to wear it?"
Liu Wei scratched his head, but he forgot that although this era is not as popular as the Ming and Qing dynasties where Zhu Cheng's science was prevalent, women's emphasis on fame and honor is not so perverted, but after all, it has not reached the openness of later generations, and it is really embarrassing for them to wear this kind of clothes.
"So be it." Liu Wei thought for a while and said to Xu Huang: "Gongming, you go to the Qinglou to find some women, if anyone is willing to wear them, everyone will be rewarded consistently." ”
"No!"
