After Shifu was full of wine and food, in order to understand the specific situation of Zhaocai Restaurant, Zhao Shuo left Shifu with Shopkeeper Li and rushed to Zhaocai Restaurant. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The situation here surprised Zhao Shuo, when he first came here, he just felt that the sanitary conditions were not good and the personnel were insufficient, but now after being taken by the shopkeeper Li to investigate, he found out that the problem that the shopkeeper Li said in Shifu was nothing compared to the reality, and it was not worth mentioning.

The kitchen of the restaurant is empty, the storeroom is empty, except for the hall, the second floor, the third floor and some broken tables and chairs in the garden, it can be said that the entire Zhaocai Restaurant is empty.

In such a situation, let alone making money, even whether you can open a business is a problem.

He found a chair in the hall and sat down, looking at the footprints all over the ground, Zhao Shuo pondered.

"Shopkeeper Li, you said that I will go to the Zhao Mansion to find Shaodong's family to buy food now, will he give it to me?" Zhao Shuo asked after pondering for a long time.

Shopkeeper Li shook his head. "It's hard to say."

"Are you saying that the young owner will cheat and not sell?" Zhao Shuo frowned.

"Your Highness, the villain is not worried that the young owner will not sell, but that he will have no food to sell at all." Shopkeeper Li thought for a moment and said.

"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Shuo asked with some sorrow. If this young proprietor can't provide any food, then the business will be even more difficult.

"The young owner is a gambler, and the villain told His Highness about this." Seeing Zhao Shuo nodding, Shopkeeper Li continued. "As the saying goes, if you lose nine out of ten bets, if you lose and don't have two silver taels, you will secretly sell some grain, or directly use the grain to pay off the debt. Seeing that he was so eager to agree to sell the Zhaocai Restaurant, the villain guessed that he must have incurred gambling debts again. ”

Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Li sighed. "If the young owner has food, the villain thinks that he has already used it to pay off his gambling debts, but now he is in a hurry to sell Zhaocai Restaurant, which can only mean that there is nothing in the Zhao Mansion now."

Zhao Shuo was speechless, although he didn't have any hope for this young owner, but the situation became like this, which was still unexpected for him.

"You strange young owner has a big name." Zhao Shuo asked helplessly.

"Zhao Hou, the old club hopes that he can be kind and honest." Shopkeeper Li leaned over and said.

This name is really a bit ironic, because it is completely contrary to what the old club thought.

"Zhao Hou, Zhao Hou." After chanting twice, Zhao Shuo licked his slightly dry lips. If you can't get food from Zhao Hou, then you can only buy it from elsewhere.

took a total of 10,000 taels of silver from Shi Yan, and in addition to the 7,000 taels that bought Zhaocai Restaurant and Shopkeeper Li, Zhao Shuo still had 3,000 taels left in his hand.

"Shopkeeper Li, you have been a shopkeeper for so many years, can you get some food through relationships."

Shopkeeper Li looked embarrassed. "Your Highness, if you want to talk about it before, it's better to say it. But now, it's a little harder. ”

Zhao Shuo can also understand this. After all, the Jin soldiers plundered a large amount of grain, and the rest of the grain was only enough for the people to use for themselves, and the big households were hoarding.

If there is a restaurant or restaurant, it is natural to supply it to its own family. Those who do not have an industry are ready to raise prices and make huge profits.

If you can't get the food, then you can only think about other aspects.

"Shopkeeper Li, what can you get for that dish?" Zhao Shuo asked again.

Shopkeeper Li's face has turned the color of pig liver. "Your Highness, this, this dish is more difficult to buy than that grain! In the peaceful years, there would be private competition between restaurants and restaurants, and now it is even more serious. Moreover, Zhaocai Restaurant is not competitive at all now, so it is more difficult to dish. ”

If there is no food and no vegetables, then the only thing that can be sold is wine.

"What about the drinks? Did you make your own before, or did you buy it? Zhao Shuo asked again.

Shopkeeper Li smiled wryly. "When my old club was alive, I made my own drinks. The old owner has a winemaking stunt, and the wine is soft, fragrant, and has a faint sweetness. The old owner named it 'Fortune Wine', which is also the origin of Fortune Restaurant. ”

"Alas!" Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Li sighed and continued. But after the death of the old club, this skill was lost. Although he also taught a few people at the beginning, the level was too far behind his old club. Since that time, Zhaocai Restaurant has been getting worse day by day, and finally fell to the point where it is now. ”

Fortune wine? Although he had never tasted what this wine tasted like, from the words of Shopkeeper Li, Zhao Shuo could hear that this was a key point in whether Zhaocai Restaurant could prosper.

"The recipe for that wine, Shopkeeper Li, should have it." Zhao Shuo held his breath and asked.

Shopkeeper Li nodded. "When the old owner made wine, the villain saw it a few times, and the villain remembered the general things, but the taste of the wine was completely changed."

Zhao Shuo let out a sigh of relief, he was really worried, Shopkeeper Li didn't know this formula.

Zhao Shuo doesn't know much about winemaking, but he also knows some. Since Shopkeeper Li knows the materials and steps, the next step is the refinement process, as long as there are no big accidents in the intermediate links, Zhao Shuo feels that he can still handle it.

"Shopkeeper Li, then take a look, if we choose to make wine, this material may be ready?"

"Your Highness, do you know how to make wine?" Shopkeeper Li was a little uneasy, and he suddenly found that this highness was really a little too omnipotent. He can make briquettes and stoves, can combine with stone lances to kill the Zhang family, can run a restaurant, and now can make wine.

"Don't you know the recipe? We can look at it slowly. Zhao Shuo smiled mysteriously, and then asked seriously. Can you buy all the ingredients for sake now? ”

Shopkeeper Li's face was gloomy. "The main material for sake brewing was grain, which was hard to buy now. So, it's a bit difficult to prepare. ”

Zhao Shuo held his forehead with his hand, rubbed his temples with his thumb and middle finger, and now when he encounters the problem of food and vegetables, he will be stuck. Although there are some merchants selling in the market, the price and output are not enough to meet the operation of a restaurant. It can be difficult to find a stable supplier of food and vegetables. That's why Zhao Shuo will detour to the issue of wine, but now the wine still can't bypass the grain, so Zhao Shuo is depressed.

Food and vegetables can't be touched, and the only breakthrough now can only be wine? But will wine use food? Need food? Why does wine have to use grain?

Zhao Shuo let out a sigh of relief, yes, why does wine have to use food! A smile appeared on his face at the thought of this.

"Shopkeeper Li, I'll give you a thousand taels of silver, you can go to the market now and see what you can buy?"

"Your Highness, what do you want to buy?" Shopkeeper Li was stunned again.

"You can buy anything, you can buy whatever you can." After speaking, Zhao Shuo added. "You can go to my mansion first, and let Fluttershy, Grandpa Feng, and Yan Wu come out to help you, and when you can't get it, you'll come back."

Shopkeeper Li looked puzzled, and left the Zhaocai Restaurant in a daze.
