Chapter 041: Pan Shop
After Chen Qun returned home, he personally arranged a place for Zhao Yun to live, and then the three of them went to rest. There was nothing to say all night, and after dawn the next day, Chen Qun, Li Bing'er and Zhao Yun first practiced martial arts at Chen Qun's house. After the morning exercise, Chen Qun smiled and said, "Master, Bing'er, let's go out for breakfast together." ”
"Okay." Zhao Yun and Li Bing'er nodded in unison, the two were not surprised by Chen Qun's proposal at all, anyway, Chen Qun's impression in the hearts of the two was that they were very rich, not to mention that there was nothing to eat at home.
After the three of them came to the street, they didn't eat breakfast immediately, but walked around the street, anyway, there was still nearly an hour before the time to eat breakfast, and Zhao Yun and Li Bing'er followed Chen Qun around the street.
After Chen Qun wandered around for half an hour, he found that the early business on the street was very depressed, and there was no good business at all where he passed. When Chen Qun came to a wine shop that looked quite magnanimous, he saw that this wine shop was a three-story wooden tower structure, located at a crossroads, the geographical location was quite superior, and the restaurant looked quite new. Chen Qun knew that this place was not far from the burned Tang Zhou Mansion.
"Boss, eat!" After Chen Qun entered the store and sat down, he found that no shopkeeper came to entertain him, so he shouted loudly.
"It's coming! Here it comes! Hearing the voice, a middle-aged man ran out of the room on the first floor: "Three objective, what do you want to eat?" ”
Chen Qun frowned after looking at the middle-aged man in his eyes and said, "I said shopkeeper, why don't you look like a shopkeeper?" ”
The middle-aged man nodded when he heard this: "This son has good eyesight, and he is the owner of this wine shop." Because the business in the store is not good, there may not be a single customer in three or five days, so even the second child in the store can't afford to hire them, so he sent them all away. ”
Chen Qun looked at the middle-aged man suspiciously: "I said boss, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be, your store has a very good geographical location and a big door, how can there be no customers?" Is it because the food in your store is not delicious? ”
The middle-aged man sighed when he heard this: "Childe, you really wronged me by saying this." Now in addition to the drunken red mansion in the entire Luoyang City, which one has a good business? Almost all of them are in the same situation as us. Now that Taiping Road is in rebellion, people everywhere are panicking. In the past, most of the guests entertained by the small shop were from other places, but now that no one from other places comes to Luoyang, and the people in Luoyang City are hiding at home when they have nothing to do. There are 100 liquor shops in Luoyang City, and it is strange to have business in such an environment. Most people like Childe went to the drunken Red Mansion, and it was a great honor for a small store like me to receive a distinguished guest like Childe! ”
After Chen Qun finished speaking, he understood that the current business was indeed not good, he really didn't realize that the impact of the Yellow Turban Rebellion was so serious, but now he finally saw it, and he couldn't help beating the drum in his heart at the moment, and became confused about whether to open the store now: "Boss, first cut two catties of cooked meat for us, put a pot of good wine, and then fry five good dishes, cook a pot of rice soup, and then serve five steamed buns." This is the case first, and it's not enough for us to order again. ”
When the boss heard this, he didn't immediately respond, but looked at Chen Qun and smiled: "Childe, are you sure you want so much?" I'm worried that the three of you won't be able to eat at all, but the small shop has a lot of food. ”
Chen Qun waved his hand without saying a word, and the shopkeeper said yes again and again when he saw this, and then left.
After the store left, Chen Qun smiled at Zhao Yun and said, "Master, I want to take this store down, what do you think?" ”
Zhao Yun frowned when he heard this: "Changwen, although the master doesn't know how to do business, but you also heard the boss's words just now, and now this business is very difficult to do, don't go in on credit." ”
Chen Qun nodded and smiled: "Master, I think so, first of all, our manpower doesn't need to be hired at any cost, and it is not difficult to transfer a hundred or ten people from more than 10,000 people in the mountain city to run a wine shop." Secondly, the purpose of this liquor shop is not to make money, but to support people, as long as this liquor shop can support the hundred and ten people who work here. ”
Zhao Yun frowned when he heard this: "Your idea is good, but there is no business here at all, how can you feed your hundred and ten people?" ”
Chen Qun smiled at Zhao Yun: "You don't have to worry about this master, is it man-made!" ”
Seeing that Chen Qun was so confident, Zhao Yun smiled and shook his head: "Okay, you can do it yourself, but after all, this is a Jingshi, and I believe that business will get better soon." ”
Chen Qun nodded, and the three of them sat quietly waiting for the food to be served. Soon, a middle-aged woman came over with a pot of wine and a plate of cooked meat: "Objective, you eat first, the vegetables and porridge inside are being cooked." ”
Chen Qun nodded: "Thank you, boss, by the way, boss, do you sell it in this store?" ”
The middle-aged woman was stunned when she heard this, and then quickly nodded: "Sell, of course sell, as long as the son's bid is right, we will sell." Now this business is not easy to do, and my family and I are also going back to our hometown to farm and escape the world. ”
Chen Qun nodded when he heard this, and couldn't help admiring the wisdom of the Han people in his heart, no wonder the Han people in history have suffered so many disasters, but they can always turn evil into good fortune, it turns out that there are too many wise people in the Han people, just like the couple in this wine shop, they opened a store in the prosperous era to make money, once the signs of troubled times appeared, they avoided the world and farmed, and continued the incense. Chen Qun believes that once the prosperous era comes again, they will still go out of the mountains to open stores.
Chen Qun figured out the reason and smiled slightly: "Okay, then after we finish eating, let's discuss the transaction, you can also go and discuss it first." ”
"Good, good! We're going to take it now. The proprietress smiled at Chen Qun and left.
After the proprietress left, Zhao Yun sighed: "In this world now, those who can hide have already hidden, and those who can't hide are either prepared to do things like you, or they are not able to hide at all." ”
Chen Qun nodded: "What the master said is very right, these businessmen are actually the wisest beings in this world, they are well-informed, flexible in their minds, and know how to make trade-offs. They are the real elite of our Han Chinese. ”
Zhao Yun and Li Bing'er both nodded when they heard this, and the three of them began to eat.
After eating, the shopkeeper and his wife both came to Chen Qun's table, and after Chen Qun invited the two to sit down, he said, "Boss, I don't know how you discussed?" ”
The shopkeeper is a simple middle-aged man, with small eyes and big face, slightly fat, he smiled after listening to Chen Qun's words: "Childe, you see that the location of our store is also good, the store area is large enough, there are three restaurants in front, there are three floors in the backyard, fifteen rooms on each floor, the first floor is the stable and the men's house, the second floor is the ordinary room, and the third floor is the first-class room."
There is a five-point courtyard between the restaurant and the guest building, mainly because this house was newly renovated by us three years ago, and you don't need to renovate it within ten years after you put it down, you can get started directly. ”
After Chen Qun finished speaking, he looked at the shopkeeper's small eyes and nodded: "I have seen what you said, don't go around in circles, just say it, how much money do you want, be reliable, if you are not reliable, we will leave directly, now there will be more people in Luoyang City who want to sell the store, and we don't have to worry about getting money and not being able to find a suitable store." ”
The shopkeeper nodded when he heard this: "I won't tell you more, fifty gold, no less." This is only our principal, excluding transfer fees, and the tables, chairs and benches in the store are all given to you for free. ”
Chen Qun thought for a while and frowned, "Boss, I'll pay a maximum of thirty gold, you can think about it." Although your principal is 50 gold, but the original market can not be compared with the present, I put the wine shop down, it is likely to continue to lose, but you have made money. So you have to give up, I can't lose too much. ”
The shopkeeper frowned when he heard this: "Thirty gold is really too little!" Childe, you are also a Lisuo person, how about we compromise? Forty gold, we will give you ten gold, even if the business is good, we will also have one gold a month. After all, this is Jingshi, maybe the situation will improve in half a year, and business will improve again? Childe, you can't let us lose too much! ”
Chen Qun thought for a while and smiled: "Thirty-five gold, thirty-five gold, if you are still unwilling to sell, then forget it." Let's take a look at other stores. ”
Hearing this, the shopkeeper got up and said, "Okay! Thirty-five gold were sold. We are also planning to change hands, and it is not easy to meet a cool guest like Childe. I wonder when Childe plans to trade? ”
Chen Qun looked at the shopkeeper and smiled, "Just now!" Pack up and leave after the deal, and my men will come and take over the store before dark. ”
"It's refreshing! Deal! "The owner said happily. So the shopkeeper went to get the house deed and the title deed, and Chen Qun gave the shopkeeper 35 gold after careful investigation, so this wine shop became Chen Qun's property.
"Childe, now that you are the master here, you wait a minute! We'll pack up a little and go. The middle-aged couple smiled at Chen Qun and clasped their fists, and then quickly turned to leave, as if Chen Qun would regret it or rob him of his gold.
Zhao Yun looked at Chen Qun after the shopkeeper and his wife left: "Changwen, it seems that you don't plan to return to Jizhou in the short term?" ”
Chen Qun nodded: "Master, we don't have to rush back now, you have also heard, His Majesty sent Dong Zhuo to attack Zhang Jiao, I guess that Dong Zhuo will definitely fail, Dong Zhuo is not Zhang Jiao's opponent." When we came, the apprentice had already told Chen County Commander to let him train soldiers for two months first. And with my eldest brother here, plus the nine of them in Zhao Cheng, and two thousand five hundred soldiers, it is worry-free for Zhending City to attack without twenty or thirty thousand thieves. Let's get things done here in Luoyang and then go back to Jizhou. ”
Zhao Yun nodded when he heard this, although he wanted to return to Jizhou in his heart, but when he thought of Chen Qun's three righteous elder brothers in Zhending, his heart became a lot more steady, after all, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's force Zhao Yun was clear.
After Chen Qun and the three of them left the wine shop, they came to the street and walked around the wine shop, according to Chen Qun, they were familiar with the surrounding situation. In fact, Chen Qun knew that the location of the liquor store should not be far from the burned Tang Zhou Mansion, and he wanted to see what the situation of the Tang Mansion was now.
Chen Qun, Zhao Yun and Li Bing'er inquired a little, and then came to the outside of Tang Zhou's mansion, which was really very close to the wine shop he had just ordered, and standing outside the Tang Mansion, he could see the three-story building of the wine shop, but the scene of the Tang Mansion in front of him made Chen Qun frown.
