Chapter 3 Establishing a Business (3)
In his previous life, Zhao Zheng used all his strength to find a job as a text entry clerk after graduation, and the meager 2,000 yuan a month isolated his enjoyment of most of his small hobbies in life. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
So Zhao Zheng, who was bored, bought vegetables and watched food shows every day, and followed those fat chefs to learn to cook, first, to solve his own eating problems, and secondly, it was very important to learn skills.
At that time, the classmates laughed at Zhao Zheng after four years of college, and finally taught himself New Oriental Chef, Zhao Zheng smiled faintly, but greeted his wife at home a hundred times in his heart.
Now it's okay to travel to a different world of Warring States, the four major inventions are no longer reliable, and in the end, New Oriental Cooking is still going to be saved, and if you grab a person's heart, you will first grab his stomach, and Zhao Zheng's half-baked chef has also become a national player here.
The inn opened for a month, with a net income of 12,000 yuan, a full two sacks. Chun Niang looked at the money and offered to dig a hole in her room and hide it, and she couldn't tell that this "little widow" was still a woman who loved money.
This is not without reason, before Zhao Zheng came, the tavern was almost closed, just because Chun Niang only made a few dishes in the past, and her craftsmanship was really average, and she only relied on the business road of proximity to Yishui to make a tea money.
Now that the monthly income is 10,000 yuan, it is 100 taels of gold, how can Chun Niang not be happy. She vaguely put forward the basic idea of male protagonist and female protagonist, and finally forced Zhao Zheng to carry a sack of money under her bed.
The remaining bag of money Zhao Zheng took to the Yixian market and exchanged it for a few cars of spices and a few carts of vegetables, such a bold transaction made the merchants of Yixian County instantly know Zhao Zheng's name.
People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, but the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, so Zhao Zheng had to be arrogant in order to advertise the Rujia Tavern.
So the effect was immediately there, and Zheng Sleeve, who hadn't looked for Zhao Zheng for two months, went out and came to Zhao Zheng's courtyard. She is a beautiful lady, and she is recognized as the first beauty in Yixian County, but she can't easily go to that kind of wine shop.
So she waited all morning and didn't see Zhao Zheng's figure, but she didn't know if Zhao Zheng had only lived here for more than a month, or because of the decoration of the Home Inn and couldn't move in.
In the end, it was a fisherman who told Zheng that Zhao Zheng now lives in a homeinn, and that he is the chef and part-time manager there.
The title of store manager is self-appointed by Zhao Zheng, which is a little more familiar than the sound of the shopkeeper. It doesn't matter to the guests, anyway, the dishes are delicious and not expensive.
Zheng Sleeve walked not far along Yishui when he heard a lively shouting sound, and some vendors actually opened the goods trade at the door of the Homeinn. The merchants also trusted each other, and they measured a scale in front of Homeinn and made a deal.
"Mr. Zhao, you have finally shown your grandeur." A smile flowed from the corner of Zheng Sleeve's mouth, and the maid Xiao Zhao was unwilling, and stomped her feet and said: "Miss, you still praise that disciple, he is such a troublesome businessman who is trading at his home, who still goes to Yixian Market to trade, the mayor there is the head of the family, and these taxes are all in vain." ā
Twenty years ago, Zheng Li came to Y County to become a friend of Yi Hou, and helped the current Yi Hou win the position of son-in-law. So Yi Hou reciprocated the favor and handed over the Y County Market to the Zheng family to take care of, and he only collected a certain amount of taxes, and the extra ones naturally went into Zheng Li's pocket.
This matter has become a routine for nearly 20 years, but I don't want Zhao Zheng, an unknown person who has just arrived, to easily gather a market.
"Xiao Zhao, let's go into the store, didn't you want to eat that lotus seed soup for a long time?"
Xiao Zhao suddenly forgot about his dissatisfaction just now, and helped Zheng Sleeve get out of the car, and one master and one servant entered the Homeinn Tavern. As soon as they entered the door, the customers in the store forgot the food in front of them, and they all looked up at Zheng Sleeve, and one or two drools flowed.
"Eleventh tables of mapo tofu, pay attention to spicy." After serving the food on a tray with wood, he didn't think Zheng Sleeve was anything special, but the taste on his body was better.
"This guest, there are no seats in the hall, and there is still a place in the private room in the back hall, but it costs two dollars for a basic fee, I don't know if you are..."
Zheng Sleeve looked at the silly wood in front of him, smiled, and said, "Let's have a private room, the young man told you that the store manager said that the old man was visiting." ā
"Turn left ahead, you wait," the wood said mechanically, as a modern waiter often said.
In the kitchen, Zhao Zheng was sweating profusely and shaking a big spoon, Chun Niang wiped his sweat from time to time, and although the two of them were in love with each other, although the smoke was billowing, it did not affect it.
"Zhao Lang, the slave family thinks it's time to buy some female slaves, otherwise Uncle Tao and the wood won't have time to serve the food, and the slave family won't have time to give you a hand."
"Hmm" Zhao Zheng poured a freshly braised pork rib into the plate, the color was red, the smell was sweet and fragrant, it seemed that his cooking skills were getting better and better. It's just that I didn't expect this chef to be so tired, making food that makes others happy, but he endured the smoke and scooped it again and again.
"Zhao Lang, are you listening?"
"Ah, of course listening. Isn't there a shortage of manpower, just go back and find some clever girls from the villages. ā
"How can those people sell women as slaves, let's go to Yixian County to buy some."
Thinking is not a channel, you really can't chat, Zhao Zheng is talking about finding some people to work, but Chun Niang wants to buy a female slave to do things.
Forget about adapting to the environment, Zhao Zheng agreed to Chunniang's proposal, and couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in his heart, a person born in the era of human trafficking and punishment had to live in this semi-slave society.
"Fourth uncle, what dish is the old man's visit, how did I forget, the guests in the No. 1 private room want this dish."
Old friend? I am a stranger to this world, how can there be an old person. But soon Zhao Zheng smiled, he didn't expect her to appear so soon, it seems that his follow-up plan will soon be realized.
"Chun Niang, you come to take over, I'll go see that friend, this is a walking gold." Zhao Zheng said with a smile as he took off his sleeves and apron.
Zheng Sleeve sat bored in the private room, so he looked at the murals on the wall to relieve his boredom, which are all stick figures describing the hardships of the sages, which is another hobby of Zhao Zheng that does not cost money.
Looking at the three migrations of the Confucian Yasheng Mencius when he was a child, Zheng Sleeve covered his mouth and smiled. The story is widely circulated, but this painting method is quite peculiar, Mencius actually wears open crotch pants and shows a small ass.
"What are you laughing at?"
The smell of food wafted over, choking Zheng Sleeve and coughing. Xiao Zhao stood forward and coughed: "Don't come here, it's choking my young lady." ā
Zhao Zheng smelled his clothes, there was no discomfort, maybe he was used to it, so he stood at the door and said: "The sleeve girl came to our store, it can be described as a fluffy and shining, I don't know which dish I like to eat, I will do it next." ā
"I want lotus seed soup," Xiao Zhao spoke first.
Zheng Sleeve bowed slightly, covered his nose with a handkerchief and said, "Give it to Xiao Zhao first, I'm not hungry for the time being." Mr. refused to be a staff member of my Zheng family in the past, and the little woman didn't know what Mr. meant when she heard it at first, but now it seems that Mr. is unwilling to live under others. Zhao Zheng smiled slightly, and recognized this answer.
Zheng Sleeve continued: "Then the Zheng family will do business with Mr. on an equal footing, this is like a tavern, and my Zheng family is willing to pay a thousand dollars to buy half of it." ā
The old routine, but the momentum is enough, it seems that Zhao Zheng will not agree or not.
"What if I don't say yes?"
"Three thousand gold, I hope Mr. has self-knowledge."
Threat, naked threat, but it is a different style to say it from Zheng Sleeve's mouth. Zhao Zheng shook his head and said, "It's not about money, it's because I don't want the Zheng family to interfere." In fact, with the wealth of the Zheng family, Yannan is the best, so why bother with my little tavern. ā
Zheng Sleeve moved lightly to Zhao Zheng, and suddenly a faint fragrance wafted in, Zheng Sleeve said: "Let's say that the Yixian market took the Zheng family twenty years to become a big city, and now Mr. has only been here for two months, and there is a grass market in Yishui, how can I underestimate it." ā
"The businessman did it spontaneously, I had no intention of organizing, at most I made a fair scale to attract everyone to come here to eat. In the final analysis, the Zheng family can also set up a market here to collect taxes, so it is not the best of both worlds. ā
"What's in it for my Zheng family?"
"I will open a joint venture store with me to do business, I will contribute the technology, and you will pay for it, and divide it evenly afterwards to ensure that it will earn 10,000 gold a day."
Zheng Sleeve's cold face showed a hint of a smile, she didn't come for this goal, in fact, it was impossible for Zhao Zheng to completely negotiate with a businessman's face in her heart, and there was still a little leeway between her words.
Zhao Zheng felt a little bored, the result was the same, Zheng Sleeve just wanted to take the lead and take advantage of the momentum, doing business and making money is the first, and the face that the ancients valued was given to them.
"Zhao Lang, the guests outside can't wait to serve the food." Chun Niang came in with a bowl of lotus seed soup, and when she saw Zheng Sleeve, she was stunned and put down the bowl for a moment, and then quickly pulled Zhao Zheng's hand.
After Zhao Zheng was left by Chunniang's hand, Zheng Sleeve's face turned red and Tie Qing sat at the table without saying a word. Xiao Zhao threw his heart on the lotus seed soup and savored it, Zheng Sleeve became more and more angry in his eyes, and raised his hand to brush the table.
The soup bowl shattered in response, and Xiao Zhao stood up in fright and didn't dare to speak.
Zheng Sleeve snorted and said, "Put down the money bag and go back with me, what is the delicious food he cooks." ā
