Chapter 65 Little Fat Cow Hot Pot Shaozhou Branch
"What cheats?"
Sanqi's eyes lit up, she liked martial arts cheats the most.
The room was quiet, and Gu Ren carefully unfolded the scroll.
This martial arts cheats are actually high-level, the kind that is burned by reading, generally speaking, this kind of martial arts cheats are very rare.
"Getaway?"
"Wasn't that written by Zhuangzi? It seems to be ...... There is a fish in the northern underworld, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is; Turned into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is; Flying in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. It is a bird, and the sea will migrate to the south...... Could it be that this light skill can soar between heaven and earth like a roc? ”
Sanqi's eyes widened and he swallowed his saliva.
"Probably not!"
Gu Ren then looked down and looked at the introduction of martial arts. This introduction is written in ordinary words, and it will not disappear after reading it, only the specific exercises are the recitation and burning, which contains the true meaning of the burner's comprehension.
"Sure enough, it's a powerful light skill, according to the introduction, after cultivating to the highest level, you can fly with objects, this is awesome...... Is this object an airplane? cough cough cough ......"
Gu Ren naturally wouldn't believe that any light skill could fly against qi, and from a scientific point of view, this was against the principle of gravity.
"Wow, that's a tall ......"
Little stars appeared in Sanqi's eyes.
Gu Ren looked straight down.
Soon, Gu Ren finished reading the introduction of this exercise.
"Hehehe, brother knows that's the case... Because the way to fly away from the sky is impossible. ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Gu Ren's mouth.
This martial arts cheats introduction, there are three volumes of Getaway, of which he got the first volume. This first volume is just an ordinary light work, at most flying eaves and walking on walls, stepping on snow without a trace, or crossing the river with a reed...... If you want to fly away, you still have to wait for the second and third volumes.
Gu Ren believed that there would be no second and third volumes of this leisurely exercise.
"Cut, it's not as good as my sister's Ling Bo Weibu...... You've cultivated! ”
Sanqi said disdainfully.
"Since it's such nonsense, then I'll cultivate."
"That's it, flying eaves and walking on the wall, you can always improve your speed and sensitivity."
Gu Ren decided to cultivate this getaway.
……
The next morning, Gu Ren got up early, and he and Sanqi went to attend the opening ceremony of Ashin Aji's hot pot restaurant.
The little fat cow hot pot branch was originally opened in a teahouse on Baishui Street, but the teahouse was destroyed the day before yesterday, so naturally it couldn't be opened.
Fortunately, the prince of Xinhuang Ji has been prepared, and he has also renovated another small building in Shaozhou City, and after the decoration of the small building, you can directly move the customized tableware you buy there, and make a slight adjustment, and you can open it.
The newly opened hot pot restaurant is located on Silla Street in Shaozhou City, which is adjacent to the residential area, and people come and go, which is very lively.
The prince of Xin, the prince of Ji, and the fairy of Dandan, were very happy to see Gu Ren Sanqi.
"Senior Brother Zimota, we finally saw you, I miss you!"
Xian'er grabbed Gu Ren's arm, and several guards newly sent by Chang'an were shocked to see Xian'er sticking to Gu Ren so affectionately in public, Xian'er was notoriously arrogant, and when she saw anyone, even her father Tang Xuanzong, he was arrogant and deliberately kept his distance. Seeing that this young man was actually as well-behaved as a cat...... Incredible......
There is also the fact that Xian'er is not a child, and she needs to avoid words and deeds between men and women. Although the Tang Dynasty was open, there were still constraints between men and women, and they should not be too frivolous in public. For this, Xian'er is still young, but it can be forgiven.
"Senior Brother Zimo, I heard Zihan say that you helped her absorb a lot of internal strength, and she has risen to the Fifth Heaven...... also got her a martial arts cheats book Ling Bo Weibu. This bowl of water must always be even, Zimo Ashin Aji and I are both backbone members of our Tianji faction! ”
Xian'er blinked and looked at Gu Ren.
"You little girl, didn't you comprehend the thousand-armed Guanyin palm by yourself. I also want to do martial arts cheats. ”
Gu Ren knocked Xian'er's forehead.
"Xian'er, don't make trouble, sir, do you think our little fat cow hot pot should be diversified, such as getting barbecue meat again?"
Prince Xin looked at Gu Ren.
"There's no rush for this, it's up to a certain level. When there are imitators, let's innovate. ”
Gu Ren smiled slightly.
"Senior brother, this is the book I wrote, you can take a look."
Dandan handed a booklet to Gu Ren, and the title page read: On Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism.
"Senior Brother Zimo, I also want to open a branch of Lanxiang Academy in Shaozhou......
……
In the crackling sound of firecrackers, a brand-new sign with the words "Little Fat Cow" written on it was hung up by Xian'er, and nearby neighbors and friends who had made friends with Prince Ji came to congratulate him......
The Shaozhou branch of the little fat cow hot pot was newly opened, except for Daohe's friends, there were only a few dozen people, and they came here to eat after reading the leaflets distributed by Guapi and others. When I entered the store and confirmed that all the meals were really free today, I was overjoyed......
After Gu Ren Sanqi Fairy Dandanxin Prince Ji entered the hot pot restaurant, he went directly into the kitchen to help, which can be described as the mobilization of the Tianji faction!
With Gu Ren, the chief sect leader, joining, Prince Xin and Prince Ji immediately turned into a follower.
The people who came in the morning were sparse, and most of the people who came came when they saw the leaflets. After these people ate it, they were all full of praise, and some even insisted on pricing the dishes according to the recipe and putting down the silver taels......
It's noon and afternoon...... More and more people...... Towards the end of the afternoon, the entire hotel was full...... Some people began to compete for a table in order to earn a table seat, and those diners who occupied the table and planned to eat for free couldn't get by with their faces, so they quickly took out two silver ......
Gu Ren repeatedly said that all of them are free today, and no silver or two will be charged...... The diners didn't care about that, they didn't know that Xian'er was a princess, they thought she was the shopkeeper's sister and daughter, and so on...... In order to eat more calmly, all of them were given to Xian'er in the form of rewards.
Xian'er could only reluctantly accept it in the form of change that was difficult for her......
When the restaurant closed, there were still many people standing outside the hotel, Gu Ren went out and tactfully told them that the preparations for the first day of business today were not sufficient, and asked them to come back tomorrow morning......
At the beginning of the lanterns, the door of the Little Fat Cow Hotel was closed, and in front of a table in the middle of the first floor, Gu Ren, Prince Xin, Prince Ji, Dandan, Sanqi, and Xian'er were sitting around the table.
On the table, there are a large pile of copper coins and silver taels, which add up to a few hundred taels, excluding the cost and free meals, and make a profit of more than three hundred taels today......
These silver taels were received by Xian'er alone...... Tipping ......
Prince Xin and Prince Ji looked at the silver taels piled up on the table in disbelief...... It's incredible...... Obviously it was free, not only did he not lose money, but he also earned a few hundred taels of silver......
Gu Ren was also slightly surprised, the quality of the Tang people is very high, and his sense of integrity is not a little higher than that of him, a "cunning" modern person......
Xian'er looked at these silver taels with pride...... These little money are all rewarded by others......
"Sir...... This...... If you charge today...... The income of one day is completely the top of the income of the main store in Qujiang for a few days! "
The corners of Prince Xin's mouth twitched, and he spoke slowly.
"One is the state capital, the other is a small county town, the degree of wealth is different, and the concept of consumption is also different."
Gu Ren smiled slightly.
"Sir, if we open a branch in every state capital in Datang, the business will be so hot...... Hey, hey, hey......"
Prince Ji swallowed.
"It will be opened in the future, Zimo, you should suspend the study of Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism first, and don't make a hairstyle Journey to the West. Senior brother gives you something, you give us some high-tech research. ”
"High-tech? What high-tech stuff? ”
"Is it a murderous weapon?"
"Is it a pistol ......?"
Dandanxin, Prince Ji, and Xian'er Sanqi all looked at Gu Ren with interest.
"Uh, it's not healthy to fight and kill, and it's not environmentally friendly to dig around for treasure. Weapons thing, not needed for the time being. We focus on economic construction, seek more benefits for the people of the Tang Dynasty, and be a good citizen who loves the country and the people! ”
Gu Ren is serious.
"And ......"
Several children were dismissive.
"Gu Lang, talk about your high-tech things, sister supports you!"
Sanqi smiled.
"Ahem...... Ashin Ajizi Mo Xian'er, do you know potatoes and tomatoes? Know that sweet potato corn is not? Know"
Gu Ren pondered.
"Potatoes and tomatoes? Sweet potato corn?
"Isn't that tomato that you can scramble eggs on, and that potato that you can fries?"
“……”
"Well, if a hot pot restaurant wants to stay open for a long time, it will inevitably be imitated, and our exclusive recipe may also be taken away. But there is one thing, as long as we hold it in our hands, even if he imitates it and gets the formula, he still won't surpass the little fat calf. Such a thing is an ingredient, and it is a unique ingredient! ”
Gu Ren said slowly. I have been in Datang for so long, and I miss the sour and spicy shredded potatoes and scrambled eggs with tomatoes...... Why don't you let Ah Yin summon some seeds and open up a few experimental fields or greenhouses?
……
Half an hour later, several people had dinner and listened to Gu Ren finish talking about the so-called high-tech crops......
Next, Gu Ren held the second plenary meeting.
The main content of this meeting is the future development of Little Fat Cow Shaozhou, the latest week's work plan, including staff recruitment, job division, Little Fat Cow's marketing strategy, follow-up promotion planning......
During the meeting, the prince of Xin, the prince of Ji, the prince of Dandan, and the fairy Sanqi expressed their opinions, and after the final discussion and summary, they reached a common will.
Recruit employees, standardize operations, and introduce new dishes.
Otherwise, they'll all have to help here tomorrow......
After the meeting, Gu Ren called Lao He, the shopkeeper of the branch, who had opened a restaurant before, but later closed down.
Gu Ren gave him an explanation.
Lao He suddenly remembered that he could still recruit two people. These two are still his distant relatives, and they are the second shopkeepers in his former restaurant, with quick hands and feet, and they are diligent. Since moving here, business has been bleak, and they were forced to dismiss them out of desperation. It just so happens that they are now unemployed at home and have not yet found a suitable job, so the promising job of the shopkeeper is naturally none other than them.
Of course, recruiting only two people is obviously not enough. Gu Ren wrote several recruitment notices, recruiting people such as helping the kitchen, buddies, housekeepers who do the accounts, etc., and the recruitment notices were posted at the door of the hotel and at the intersection of the main street in front.
With the favorable conditions on the job posting, there is naturally no shortage of applicants.
In addition, Gu Ren also made a large number of coupons, with which individual dishes can enjoy a 50% discount......
These coupons are the prototype of membership cards, Gu Ren is just temporarily testing to see how much benefit they can have, and if the results are good, you can issue membership cards. The membership card level can completely adopt those membership card levels of later generations, the lowest level is the bronze card, then the silver card, the gold card, the diamond card...... The higher the tier, the greater the discount...... The upgrade condition of the membership card is the consumption amount. As long as a certain amount of consumption is reached within a certain period of time, you can be upgraded to the corresponding membership level. Of course, this is Gu Ren's current idea, and it will take some time to implement it.
After all, now there is no magnetic stripe, no computer, no identification instruments. The ordinary card used does not store information, and the corresponding consumption amount can only be counted in the hotel ledger, which is a large workload, and it is necessary to recruit accountants who do accounts.
was busy until late at night, Gu Ren Sanqi simply did not return to Jiang's Mansion, and reluctantly stayed on the second floor of the hot pot restaurant with Prince Xinzi Ji Xian'er Dandan.
……
In the early morning of the second day, the sky had just brightened, and there was a surprising scene on Silla Street in Luoyang Beicheng District. A long queue appeared at the entrance of the Little Fat Cow Hotel at Shilla No. 38......
Everyone in this team came to eat...... Some of them ate yesterday morning, some of them ate yesterday at noon and in the afternoon, and some of them didn't eat yesterday...... The whole line is thirty or forty meters long......
The queue of these diners was orderly, and there was no queue to make trouble. Most of them are literate scholars. Some of them were silent, calmly waiting for the hotel to open, some were chatting about poetry and songs, and some were chatting about the night incense and the girls in the Rouge Pavilion.
With the moment Lao He opened the door, the people queuing at the door, swooped, regained quiet, everyone's eyes were bright and bright, staring at the restaurant, at the moment when Lao He loaded and unloaded the first door panel, the diners in front of Si Swenwen rushed in and rushed into the restaurant to grab the table at the first time.
Lao He was knocked into a daze, and he came back to his senses after half a sound, those who rushed in and didn't grab a seat pushed each other, and some even burst into foul language, and the literati's temperament and elegance were clean......
Prince Shin, who was still on the stairs, was dumbfounded...... It's the first time they've seen something so amazing after they've been out for so long...... Standing in line for a meal and arguing, even at the expense of hands.
"Boss, what are you still standing for, let's have a spicy pot...... Don't worry, the food I ate yesterday will be made up for today......"
A few diners saw Lao He stunned there, and said righteously.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be impatient, the shop is fully prepared, the speed is very fast, it is still early, everyone will definitely be able to eat, there is no need to fight. The guest officers cooperate, if there are no seats, please line up outside...... As soon as there is a vacant seat inside, you will be allowed in. Thank you......"
Lao He bowed and smiled innocently, and the few diners who did not fight for seats stopped arguing, threw down their sleeves, and went out to turn right to join the queue.
This time I went into the kitchen...... Prince Ji hurriedly came down the stairs, and Xian'er went into the kitchen to help...... Everyone is busy again......
After a while, Gu Ren and Xian'er also went downstairs with the coupons they had made......
……
Little Fat Cow Hotel, in Gu Ren Xian'er Sanqi Dandan...... After the hard work of several people, we finally ushered in today's bumper harvest......
Near noon, Lao He's two relatives finally arrived in a hurry...... Because he was an old buddy from before, Lao He, as soon as he entered the door, he said a few words and dropped his luggage, and began to be busy.
The biggest difference between amateur and professional is that for the same thing, professional consumption is much better and more effective than amateur. This example can be embodied through the two relatives of Lao He. The four of them, the prince of Xin, the prince of Ji, the prince of Sanqi, were too busy to do anything, and the two relatives of Lao He could easily handle it.
In this way, Sanqi and Dandans are idle. Sanqi replaced Xian'er, cashiered two on the counter, Xian'er handed out coupons on the side, and Gu Ren went to the kitchen to prepare condiments.
As the afternoon approached, the procession outside reached an unprecedented size, lining up from the entrance of the Little Fat Cow along Silla Street to the main street of the North District...... The scene was spectacular. There is even an extremely rare phenomenon of hiring people to line up on behalf of others, which is comparable to buying train tickets for the Spring Festival in later generations.
About the reputation of the Little Fat Cow Hotel, the quiet Shaozhou City spread.
The first thing many people say after meeting is: "The little fat cow on Silla Street has opened, have you eaten it?" "
……
Outside Shaozhou City, in a lush forest, an elder of the Qingcheng Sect with three or four disciples looked coldly at the ground.
There was a corpse lying on the ground, and this corpse was the Fifth Elder that Gu Ren had killed last night and the day before yesterday.
"Old Five, I can't think of it...... You've been killed......"
The elder of the Qingcheng Sect had green tendons bulging on his forehead, a cold glow flashing in his eyes, and his pupils contracted slightly.
He is the fourth elder of the Qingcheng faction, and he has the best relationship with the fifth elder.
"Sixth...... Have you found the old five? ”
The group of people over there walked through the woods, these people were another elder with his disciples, this elder was one of the two elders who were with the five elders the day before yesterday, and the elder who was sucked by Gu Ren with a third of his internal strength, Wei Kuiyang's master, ranked fourth, the fourth elder of the Qingcheng faction.
"Ahh Old five? ”
The four elders looked at the corpse on the ground, and their faces changed suddenly......
"This ...... How is this possible...... How could the fifth ......?"
"Four Elders...... The fifth child went with you, and there was no accident in the black cemetery, how could this kind of thing happen on the way back! ”
The six elders' fists clenched, and their knuckles crackled.
"Impossible, on the way back, we met that kid from the Tianji faction, who fought with Lao Wu. He won't be a match for the old five! ”
The four elders shook their heads and said.
