Chapter 43 Xu Fu Takes Concubines I
readx;
In just one day, aside from the profits made from the expensive prices of wine and food, Guo Shanguang received nearly 1,000 yuan in membership fees. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this is that the Penglai Pavilion is indeed beyond many restaurants in Chang'an City, the second is that Chang'an City is not short of rich people, and the third is of course unable to avoid the reputation of the Burrow. However, the most important thing is the attraction of members to some people.
Not only on the first day, but on the second day, there were more registered members, and the cost of registered members alone was nearly 2,000. Guo Shan knew that this trend was effective, and there would never be more people who would be registered as members of Penglai Pavilion in the future.
Therefore, I decided to increase my publicity efforts and talk about the benefits of membership.
For example, if you have a member, you can book a private room on the second floor. When the membership level reaches the silver level, you can have priority to taste the latest dishes and fine wines invented by Penglaige. If you've reached the Gold level, congratulations, every year you can make a request and have Friends create a different menu to satisfy your appetite.
This division of the membership system not only makes people feel that membership brings people benefits, but also brings people status.
What's even more interesting is that members can save a sum of money at the Penglai Pavilion, and when they eat at the Penglai Pavilion in the future, they can directly calculate the consumption on their own account books without carrying the heavy silver cakes.
This naturally brings convenience to people.
In just four days, Guo Shan's treasury savings were filled with a lot, but later, when other restaurants in Chang'an City also implemented a membership system, this kind of benefit was no longer exclusive to Penglai Pavilion. However, Penglai Pavilion still holds the big head.
"Young master, our family now has a full 12,000 yuan in the account." Hu Laohan grinned, licked his lips, and excitedly bowed and handed the account book to Guo Shan.
"Twelve thousand?" Guo Shan was also slightly surprised, and then smiled dumbly and said: "But most of the money in it is deposited in our treasury by the guests, and the money cannot be counted as ours." ”
Hu Laohan's heart was a little cold when he heard this, but Guo Shan smiled and said: "But the money stored in our store finally earned into our store." And now that we have that money, we can do so much more. ”
Money begets money, and money is not new to later generations. And most of the merchants in Chang'an City are still petty bourgeoisie, and they will never have such plans. Old man Hu didn't think about it in this regard.
It's a pity that Guo Shan doesn't think about money to make money.
After looking at such a string of numbers, the only thing he thought about was that the waterwheel of the Bahe River finally had the money to build it. The school can finally consider entering the later stage of 'investment'.
"Starting tomorrow, look for learned people in Chang'an City, and ask for the kind of people who can teach people to read poetry. Then look for a master of music, even if it's a kabuki. The most important thing is for them to teach children about music. Teachers of calligraphy and painting must also be indispensable. Guo Shan looked serious and said to Old Man Hu: "The most important point is that the teachers I want must not only be talented and learned, but also reliable in terms of morality. A talented person without virtue, no matter how famous he is, he doesn't want this young master. ”
Hu Laohan's face immediately turned into a bitter gourd face, and he could foresee that the treasury that had just been filled up would definitely die out geometrically in a month.
In fact, Guo Shan completely regarded inviting teachers as too simple.
"Young master, I'm afraid that if we have money, we won't be able to hire a famous teacher." Hu Laohan explained.
Having money may really make the ghost grind, but when you meet the kind of brainless person, you really recognize the people who don't bend their waists for five buckets of rice, and no matter how rich you are, you won't invite them to come.
In the early Tang Dynasty, when private schools were generally not built, not only were there few scholars, but there were even fewer scholars who had the intention to put education on the people of the world. Unless you invite those poor and sour literati who can't get into the show every year and can't make it to the emperor's list every year, maybe they can bend their waists for five buckets of rice.
But that kind of person is also not easy to find, and Guo Shan really didn't want to invite such a person.
Guo Shan was sad.
Money is really not everything.
gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and gave an order for Hu Laohan to find it. It's okay to look for it slowly, it's okay to be a little more expensive. He doesn't believe that his Guo Shan's family has a big business, and a private school can't be held?
"Dalang, Dalang."
Early in the morning, Li Tai rushed in the door.
He has run to Guo's mansion many times, so he regards Guo Shan's house as his home. But the most basic etiquette still has to be observed, and after howling a few words, he went to the East Hall to ask his subordinates to call Guo Shan.
Guo Shan, who was finishing his makeup, listened to the report of his subordinates, so he walked to the east hall.
Oh, it's not just this one who came, but also the three people who loved Fang Yiai.
"Da Lang, I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss you very much." Fang Yiai got up: "You don't know, I can't hear you say that the victory and defeat of Tian Boguang and Ling Hu Chong really taught me to scratch my heart." ”
Li Hui was happy, and he loved the house, and said to Guo Shan: "This guy went home drunk that day and went crazy, and was beaten by Uncle Fang for a while, and he couldn't go out for three days. ”
Guo Shan looked at Fang Yiai with sympathy speechlessly, but this guy seemed to be full of energy.
Guo Shan understood that Li Hui and Fang Yiai probably came to listen to him talk about the rivers and lakes.
Guo Shan had a headache.
How busy he is, where does he have time to talk to these little boys and make the fox rush.
"Da Lang, I heard that the latest Burrow has opened a Penglai Pavilion and launched a few new dishes, you and I happen to go to drink together." Fang Yiai sent out an invitation.
As soon as he remembered the situation last time, Guo Shan shuddered, refused to go at all, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "I heard that the wine and food in Penglai Pavilion are very expensive, so let's not go." ”
Li Hui said with a smile: "Da Lang is too worried, the three of us have already set up a senior membership in Penglai Pavilion, and Fang Jun has even saved two hundred yuan in Penglai Pavilion, which is enough to eat in Penglai Pavilion for several months." ”
Oh, Guo Shanle is happy, it turns out that these people are silently contributing to their restaurant?
"Yes, this son is a senior member of Penglai Pavilion, and he just takes you to the scenery." Fang Yiai's face was proud, and that look all showed that this product was a two hundred and five.
Guo Shan was helpless and asked Li Taidao: "What about Chai Erlang?" He asked Chai Lingwu.
"After saying goodbye to us, this guy went to the cockfighting ring to see the 'mighty general', and I heard that he bought three bets in a row to bet on the 'mighty general' to win. But somehow, that 'mighty general' failed three times in a row. Lost all the silver cakes that Chai Erlang brought, Erlang drank wine and was angry, but he clashed with the person who gambled with him and beat someone, and was arrested by Chen Guogong, and it is estimated that it will be released in three days. ”
Li Tai sighed, deeply worried about Chai Lingwu.
Guo Shan almost didn't laugh. He felt that Chai Lingwu deserved it. Gambling, where is it so easy to win. If he loses and beats someone, his father doesn't beat him, so won't this kid turn the sky over after that?
Making friends with such a few people, Guo Shan was deeply worried about his future.
But there was really no way, and I was dragged by these people and finally went to Penglai Pavilion.
Fang Yiai gave full play to his temperament of being a 'ranger' and squandering money like dirt. Da Ma Jindao entered the Penglai Pavilion, asked for the best and most expensive room, ordered the best and most expensive dishes, and asked for the strongest and most fragrant wine. He said, 'In the future, these people will come here for dinner and record it in my account.'"
If he doesn't know how expensive firewood and rice are at home, if his father Fang Xuanling knew that his son was so showy, he didn't know if he would cut him alive.
But all of you here are people with status.
Li Tai has a fief, and from time to time Li Shimin still has rewards, and he is still short of food? Li Hui, his father, the king of Hejian County, is said to have countless mansions, not to mention the fields. Will he be short of meals before? As for Guo Shan. He opened this Penglai Pavilion, he was willing, and it was strange that he ate here and made money.
"We are members in Penglai Pavilion, why do we need Fang Jun to settle the bill for us?" Both Li Tai and Li Hui refused.
Fang Yiai slapped his hand and said: "Du Dalang has no members, so if you want to eat anything in the future, just count it on my account." Guo Shan couldn't cry or laugh, looked at Fang Yiai with a serious face, and said: "Guo Shan has his own good land and family business, why do you need Fang Jun to invite him?" In the future, if you really can't eat, you will ask Fang Jun to help. ”
Fang Yiai was very happy, and several people pushed the cup to change the lamp, so a new round of laughter began to speak in Guo Shan's mouth again.
From the wine fight, to the section where the golden basin washes hands, and then to the song "Smiling Proud Jianghu" was born.
He is eloquent, and his story is impassioned. Fang Yiai's eyebrows danced, and Li Tai was radiant. Speaking of the heart, he was suddenly interrupted: "Young master, I can find you." ”
Guo Shan stopped the narration of 'Smiling Proud Jianghu', and turned his head to recognize that it was the porter of his house who dared to interrupt his words.
Fang Yiai was furious, and glared fiercely at the panting porter who didn't know etiquette, blaming the porter for being ignorant. But he and Li Tai and Li Hui couldn't scold the doorman in front of Guo Shan, so they had to drink separately.
"What are you looking for me?" Guo Shan was strange.
"It's Steward Hu who asked me to come out to find you, young master, and let you go back to the house quickly." The porter spoke cautiously and looked at Guo Shan's face.
Sure enough, Guo Shan raised his eyebrows and was silent. Fang Yiai over there was in a hurry, so it was easy to ask Guo Shan out, how could he let Guo Shan go halfway through the story? couldn't help but say angrily: "Why are you housekeepers so ignorant, don't you know that your son-in-law is drinking and chatting with Young Master Ben?" Da Lang, don't pay attention to those subordinates. You are alone in your house, what can I do to find you back? ”
Where can Guo Shan listen to Fang Yiai's words? Ignoring Fang's bereaved love at all, he turned his face and asked the frightened porter: "What is Steward Hu looking for me to do when I go back?" ”
The porter didn't dare to pause for half a minute, and hurriedly replied, "Young master, it's Sister Ning who is looking for you." Steward Hu asked the slave to find you back quickly after saying a few words to Sister Ning, but the slave didn't know what the specifics were. ”
Guo Shan frowned, or Li Tai Li Hui knew the general situation, and listened to Li Tai's hand: "Since Da Lang has something, don't pay attention to us, and go back to the house first." ”
Seeing that Fang Yiai's face was depressed, and it seemed that he was about to speak again, Li Hui glared at Fang Yiai: "Ramming goods, how can you pester Da Lang and not let go?" He said to Guo Shan: "Da Lang invites himself, next time the three of us will play with you again." ”
Guo Shan was helpless, nodded, got up and arched his hand and said, "There is something in the house, so I can't accompany the three of you." Next time Guo Shan is the east, invite the three of them to the house to eat wine and make amends. After saying that, he took his leave, and went out of the Penglai Pavilion with the porter. The widow of the room in the Penglai Pavilion was indignant, and looked at Guo Shan's back and shouted: "Da Lang, I said that I would come to the Penglai Pavilion tomorrow." I heard Fang Yiai muttering again: "Seeing the lust and forgetting the righteousness, Da Lang is ashamed of you and me." ”
