Chapter 22: Ordinary Life
In the next few days, in addition to a large number of customers from South Street and the surrounding areas at lunchtime, there were also many low-grade eunuchs who came to eat here after lunchtime.
To Wang Tong's surprise, he didn't know what kind of propaganda the six eunuchs did when they went back at the beginning, and there were a lot of eunuchs, even some of the generals of the forbidden army.
Low-grade eunuchs and generals of the forbidden army, their time on duty is complicated, and they may not be able to come over at lunchtime, and the delicious restaurant that originally only made lunch had to increase the procurement of materials and increase the manpower to prepare for these people.
Although Wang Tong's status as a brocade guard may not be afraid, it can prevent the eunuchs and guards from bullying others, as long as they eat and give money, everything will be fine.
At first, the six eunuchs who came here got a lot of cheapness, and a guest was a penny, but there were many people who couldn't stand it, and it was really a lot of benefits.
I earn a lot more every month than before, and I have a net income of about three hundred taels a year, and looking at this momentum, it will grow, but economic income is not the only benefit.
That day, the eunuch angrily scolded Sun Dahai, who was making trouble, and then the eunuchs and guards in the palace came to eat at this delicious restaurant, all of which fell in the eyes of everyone, and the news began to circulate, saying that Wang Li was familiar with a big eunuch in the palace back then, and Wang Tong was occasionally found a few days ago, so he opened a shop nearby, and it was good to take care of it nearby.
This news is naturally absurd, but the people who hear it have to weigh it in their hearts, and they don't dare to act rashly, at least, after Sun Dahai came to the door, the delicious restaurant has been very peaceful.
Every time he was on duty, except for the old man Ding of Tian Baihu who was still laughing and scolding, the rest of his colleagues were much more polite to Wang Tong, and Zhao Guodong did not appear on this South Street, and Liu Xinyong, the general banner, was regarded as Wang Tong did not exist, and he turned a blind eye to it.
Seeing the unexpected growth of the business, Wang Tongsuo took out the silver again, and took down the neighbors' houses on the left and right, and there was no time to do any renovation and renovation, so he directly used the other party's hall and house as a dining room, and recruited twenty helpers through Ma Widow and Zhang Shiqiang.
Everything was rushed, and for a fast food restaurant, the guys were not fully trained, which could easily lead to a lack of food and service, and customers were not loyal.
However, the stewed dishes are easy to cut and master the heat, and the eunuchs and the generals of the guards actually do not have high requirements for the food, just to be able to eat it without being unpalatable, and the hot meal is enough, and the business of the delicious restaurant has not been fluctuated, so it has slowly grown.
On the first day of the lunar month, Wang Tong sent the monthly silver to Tian Baihu's house according to the usual practice, but Tian Ronghao had a little kindness on his face this time.
He can't figure out the details of Wang Tong now, the dragon and the crouching tiger are hidden in the land of Beijing, and the villains in the market may also be related to high-ranking officials and nobles, Wang Tong may really know some great people.
But it should be a little kind, because this big man has not shown up yet, and it is more likely that it is rumored that Wang Tong took out the silver of the month, and Tian Ronghao also marked out Wang Tong's share in accordance with the rules of the last time.
Wait until Wang Tong took out another small bag, put it on the table, and said with a smile:
"The shop opened by the villain is also on South Street, so naturally it has to follow the rules, and the recent business is also booming, the villain is his own master, three taels of silver a month, what do you think, adult?"
At this time, Tian Baihu finally had a smile on his face, nodded and said:
"Recently, I heard that someone in your restaurant went to make trouble? It's all the business of your own brothers, and if there are such scoundrels who make trouble, this official will call the shots for you! ”
Wang Tong hurriedly thanked him respectfully, he knew in his heart that from now on, his delicious restaurant is truly worry-free, and there are more profitable transactions, everyone must be red-eyed, if you don't pay filial piety in time, I'm afraid that in addition to Liu Xinyong, who has a grudge, others will also gossip.
After paying the monthly silver, it has become an officially recognized store in the jurisdiction of Tian Baihu, according to the rules, if someone comes to the delicious restaurant to make trouble, it will be them who are the hundred households in brocade clothes, what Liu Xinyong wants to do, but also take into account this default rule.
On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, most of the shops on South Street have begun to close for the Chinese New Year, and South Street has become deserted, but Wang Tong's delicious restaurant is an exception.
The low-level eunuchs in the palace, the generals of the guards, they also have to be guards, this festival has no meaning to them, and similarly, the food in the imperial city will not improve much.
The imperial dining room has to prepare a series of festivals and celebrations such as the Spring Festival and Shangyuan, and the meals for the miscellaneous soldiers in the Forbidden City are even much worse than usual.
For the guards and eunuchs on duty in the south of the Imperial City, the delicious restaurant was really their luck, while those on duty elsewhere would rather walk a few more steps to eat.
There are few people at lunchtime on Wang Tong's side, but after lunch, until the evening, the flow of people is continuous, and people come until the palace gate is closed.
Calculated that there is more business now than before the lunar month, the men and women of the delicious restaurant are happy, because the owner has already said that when it comes to the Spring Festival, everyone will go home with at least 300 Wen and 10 catties of pork, which is a real fat year.
As for Widow Ma and Zhang Shiqiang, they are the small owners of this store, and they are getting dividends, and they must get more.
On the twentieth day of the lunar month, according to the rules, Tian Baihu instructed everyone when he was counting the mao, and he did not need to come to the next time to be on duty, but to regather on the thirteenth day of the first month, and each of them went to the new year1
The others have families and mouths, Wang Tong is an orphan, Zhang Shiqiang is a single, and the two have nowhere to go, so they stay in the store as usual.
Listening to Zhang Shiqiang, he has found a master who can teach fists and feet, and after the New Year, he will go to learn from a teacher.
In the afternoon, eunuchs and guards came over for dinner, Zhang Shiqiang went out to buy materials, and Wang Tong sat in the corner of the canteen in a daze.
According to this speed of making money, in April and May next year, I can add some points from my old capital, and I can go to do the business of southern goods.
The Suzhou and Hangzhou Warehouse on South Street is one of the shops that does not pay monthly silver, but the shopkeeper Zhao asked Wang Tong and Zhang Shiqiang to help him in the past, and he could give him some advice.
Among the businesses that can be thought of at present, this southern goods business is the one with the highest profit and the least risk, and it depends on whether the shopkeeper Zhao is willing to help with this.
After thinking about it for a while, Wang Tong suddenly found that the store was empty, which is really a strange thing, although the store has been dissatisfied in the afternoon, but the flow of people should be continuous, but Wang Tong doesn't care too much, it's just that it happens to be empty.
“…… It's so fragrant here, what is it to eat? ”
Just immersed in thoughts, a child's voice came from outside the store, and then someone replied:
"It should be the legendary braised pork ......"
