Chapter 117: This Is a College Town?
"You want to open a restaurant?"
The guide was surprised. He walked around with the four of them all morning, knowing that Wu Bencao was the absolute backbone, and originally thought that the young man in front of him would pick some elegant behavior, but unexpectedly, it was the restaurant with the heaviest fireworks.
The restaurant industry looks simple, but it is very difficult to operate.
The guide was skeptical, and kindly persuaded him: "Don't hide it from the son, Chang'an is the first city of the Tang Dynasty, with millions of residents, and they open their mouths to eat every day. Everyone understands this truth, therefore, the most important thing in the city is a restaurant restaurant......"
Where there are people, the restaurant industry can thrive. As long as you put down a suitable land, complete the decoration, and hire a group of chefs, you can open at any time, it can be said that the threshold of this line is too low, as long as the capital is sufficient, anyone can open a restaurant.
Because of this, the competitive pressure in this industry is very high. Walking around Chang'an City, there will be many restaurants in densely populated areas, next to each other to grab business, but only a few really make a lot of money.
Wu Bencao is young, he is still a foreigner, he is not familiar with the local folk customs, and he lacks a solid foundation and support.
Looking at the guide's sincere eyes, the four of them smiled slightly, but they didn't pay attention to it.
Wu Bencao sells medicinal food, so there is no need to compete with ordinary restaurants for business. Worried that there will be no customers? Just kidding, they are only worried that the threshold will be trampled and they will not be able to cope with the hot scene in the store.
Wu Bencao said: "It's rare that you think about me, don't stand still, sit down and eat together." As for the business, I have my own measure, and when it opens, you can go to my place and have a free meal. β
When the guide heard this, he shook his head helplessly, and said in his heart, this young man is full of ambition, but he is still too naΓ―ve, and he thinks it is too easy to make money by doing business.
Wang Xiang saw it in his eyes, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Our store is called wormwood, you will understand in the future, my boss is willing to promise a meal and let you be a guest, this is a big face, when the time comes, Chang'an will envy you!"
The guide sighed, and the more he listened, the more outrageous it became, and said earnestly: "It is precisely because the guests look up to me that I must say these words, and I must not let you jump into the fire pit." Kyoto is not easy, the water here is very deep......"
Wu Bencao looked at Lao Bai and teased: "Can you see this pool of water?"
Lao Bai picked up a peanut rice, chewed it crunchy, and replied casually: "Replace 'Tan' with 'Bowl', it's almost the same." β
In his eyes, Chang'an is just a bowl of water at best, and what else is not deep to talk about.
The guide pursed his lips, was silent, and said in his stomach, sure enough, things gather in kind, people in groups, this table is more crazy than the other, and it is suitable to get together.
Wu Bencao put away his smile and said, "On the way to the capital, I thought about this problem, so I have to ask the guide, Chang'an One Hundred and Eight Fang, which area has the largest number of cultivators?"
If he is opening an ordinary restaurant, he needs to choose a prosperous commercial street, but he wants to open a medicinal restaurant, and the main service object is cultivators, so it should not be too noisy, so the closer to the place of cultivation the better.
The guide was stunned, "Does this have anything to do with opening a restaurant?"
Wu Bencao was noncommittal, took out five yuan stones from his sleeve, and put them on the table, "This question is very important to me, so please know everything and tell me everything related to cultivation." β
Chang'an is rich and prosperous, and it is the economic center of Datang, which is far from being comparable to the little goose city. Here, Yuanshi's purchasing power was no longer so strong, and Wu Bencao realized this, so he took out five pieces at once and tempted the guide.
The guide was not restrained, generously put Yuanshi into his sleeve, and replied: "Although I don't know your intention in asking this, I guess what you are looking for should be Guiyi and Zhaoxing, in the southwest corner of the city. β
Righteousness, Zhaoxing......
Wang Xiang asked, "Is there anything to say?"
The guide replied: "There are two important institutions in the imperial court, namely Taixue and Wu'an Division, I don't know if you have heard of it? Taixue is the highest institution of learning in our Tang Dynasty, which is designed to train scholars for the imperial court, and is a noble palace in the minds of all Confucian students. β
Wu Bencao didn't speak, but thought in his heart that in the previous life of China, all dynasties and dynasties also had Taixue, and it seemed that the functions of the two were similar. However, this is the world of cultivation, and Confucianism should no longer be a powerless reader, right?
Sure enough, the guide continued: "Every year, the imperial court selects a large number of young heroes and sends them to Taixue for cultivation, and there must be tens of thousands of people in it, right? Taixue is in Guiyifang, so there are many cultivators in the vicinity. β
Wu Bencao nodded, not asking a guy about the Confucian method, and instead asked, "What is the place of Wu Ansi?"
The guide replied: "Wu'an Division is similar to Taixue, the difference is that it is the institution of the imperial court to reserve the pillars of the military, and it is full of elite generals who are good at killing. In other words, Taixue belongs to literature, and Wu'an Si belongs to Wu. β
Speaking of this, he leaned forward and deliberately lowered his voice, "If you say something taboo, cultivators will walk everywhere, and it will be easy to cause chaos, which will not be conducive to public order after all. If you use force to break the ban and provoke trouble near the imperial city, the threat will only be greater......"
Wu Bencao understood what he meant, nodded and said: "Young people are strong-blooded, and when they get together every day, friction and quarrels will inevitably occur. Therefore, the imperial court moved these two huge institutions to the south of the city and distanced themselves from the imperial city, which was also to protect them. β
When the guide heard this, his face showed appreciation, "Childe's eyes are like torches, and he can see the intentions of the court at a glance." That's true, I've heard others say that the two gangs of Taixue and Wu'ansi are not at peace all day long, and the chickens are flying and the dogs are jumping!"
Wu Bencao smiled, and said secretly in his heart, Speaking of which, isn't this a university town? The idea of the imperial court is quite advanced, and it is not too cool to think of unified management, and to go to the university town to open a restaurant and deliver meals to students!
At this time, the guide suddenly thought for a moment, and said in a low voice: "There is another thing, I am not sure, it was overheard from the guest the day before yesterday. It is said that the imperial court is preparing to build a school palace, which will be built directly opposite Taixue!"
"Oh?"
Wu Bencao raised his eyebrows, became interested, and keenly realized that this matter was extraordinary.
According to the guide, Taixue and Wu'an Division, one article and one martial arts, are the highest institutions of learning in the Tang Dynasty. The division of labor between the two is clear, and the world's talents have been included, so why bother to start a new school and build a third university?
Moreover, if the guide's gossip is true, set up the Xinxue Palace opposite Taixue, so that the two families can sit on an equal footing, and the tip of the needle will be on the wheat side, no matter how you look at it, it will seem to be provoking trouble and letting the two families pinch each other.
It's a weird arrangement.
The guide's heart moved slightly, and he unconsciously pinched Yuanshi's sleeve and coughed dryly, "There is another more taboo word, I am also hearsay, I dare not say nonsense, for fear of misleading the child......"
This subtle little action, of course, can't escape Wu Bencao's eyes.
He knew that the guide was hinting to himself that if he wanted to know the next information, he would have to add more money to the risk of "breaking the taboo".
