The guard took the copper coin, and immediately looked for the next one to collect the money, and there was no receipt, invoice or anything like that.

It should be said that this entry tax was actually abolished in the late period of the previous dynasty.

It's just that now that Li Dashuai has taken office as a new official, he is suffering from no money for military training, so at the suggestion of a certain staff, he has restarted the collection of entry tax.

Therefore, the guards guarding the city gate are actually Li Dashuai's descendants!

Even the county lord of Nanxiang County did not have the power to manage them.

As for the entry tax collected, it was also sent directly to the barracks in the provincial capital, and had nothing to do with the locality.

As for whether these guards will take the opportunity to make a profit from it and scrape the oil, it is unknown.

Crossing the gate made of large bluestone, there was a commotion.

This county town is more lively than the market outside, a bluestone road runs through the entire county, flanked by three-story green tile wooden houses, on both sides of the second floor above the rope connection, a straw mat, canvas piled up on both sides of the rope.

If the height of summer comes, the straw mats and canvas stretch along the ropes, covering the entire street and blocking the scorching summer sun, you can imagine how cool it is.

Fang Xiaoyue had already learned this from Cui Shangui's memory.

It has to be said that the wit of the working people is comparable to modern technology.

Relying on these ropes, straw mats, and canvases, the temperature in Nanxiang County in summer is almost equivalent to installing dozens of air conditioners on the streets, not to mention extremely cool, at least much more comfortable than the scorching sun.

Today is supposed to be the festival of the Lord Chenghuang, so the streets are crowded with vendors selling all kinds of snacks, cigarettes, windmills, etc.

If you walk a little further, you can also see the stalls of acrobatics, snakes, medicinal herbs and so on in the branch streets on both sides.

Fang Xiaoyue first went to an inn to live in according to Cui Shangui's memory, and then asked the second generation of one of the shops to introduce her and found the shopkeeper of Xianghe Restaurant.

At this time, the Xianghe Restaurant is very different from the lively Chenghuang birthday, and the three-storey restaurant has few customers.

A few shopkeepers leaned on the pillars, chatting weakly.

The shopkeeper was lying on the counter, supported by one hand, half-asleep, with his head together, which was somewhat similar to Fang Xiaoyue's reading and dozing off.

"Shopkeeper Liao! Liao shopkeeper! Wake up! The boss is coming! ”

The innkeeper who led the way patted the counter and shouted with a smile.

"You monkey grandson, come to scare the old man."

The shopkeeper Liao suddenly woke up and stood up, almost overturning the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the counter, but after waking up, he immediately found that the boss did not come, but the inn junior scare himself, and couldn't help but scold angrily.

"You don't get angry, I'll find business for your boss."

After the innkeeper introduced Fang Xiaoyue to the shopkeeper Liao, he left on his own.

After all, the inn business is still good, and it is impossible for him to leave for too long.

Fang Xiaoyue met Boss Zhang of Xianghe Restaurant through this Liao shopkeeper.

The boss Zhang was sad when he met, as if someone owed him a lot of debt or didn't want to come back.

However, when he heard that Fang Xiaoyue wanted to take over his restaurant, the sadness on his face suddenly cleared, and he grabbed Fang Xiaoyue and began to bargain.

Although this boss said that the business of the restaurant was not good, he was always a businessman, and he was still good at his words, and after bargaining with Fang Xiaoyue for a long time, he set the transfer price of 18 silver ingots.

To say that these 18 silver ingots are not less.

You must know that one silver ingot of the official system of the former dynasty is worth 12 foreign silver oceans, and 18 silver ingots are 216 foreign silver oceans!

200 Yinyang is enough to buy a three-in, three-out mansion in the capital of the Eastern Giant Kingdom.

Although this Nanxiang County is much more prosperous than other counties, it is only a county town after all, and a three-story restaurant can be sold for more than 200 silver oceans, which is definitely a high price.

took over the Xianghe Restaurant, and there were still 6 silver ingots left in Fang Xiaoyue's hand.

According to Cui Shangui's memory, Fang Xiaoyue reorganized the Xianghe Restaurant in the next few days.

First of all, the shopkeeper Liao and a few shopkeepers stayed, and the chef in charge was directly driven away by him.

No way, if you want to say that the business of this Xianghe restaurant is poor, a big part of the key reason is that the chef's skills are not up to par!

But if Nanxiang County wants to find a few more good chefs, it is conceivably difficult.

If you say that you go to the provincial capital to invite a chef, that Boss Zhang is absolutely reluctant to spend money.

No chef? It's easy to do, Fang Xiaoyue is a chef!

Back then, Cui Shangui disliked the chef's skills and was self-taught.

But now Fang Xiaoyue has advanced the time to get rid of the chef.

A small change like this is not a problem at all for Fang Xiaoyue, and it is not enough to make the main quest fail.

Of course, the new restaurant has a new atmosphere, Fang Xiaoyue immediately did it herself, and took a few shopkeepers to redecorate the restaurant.

With his current carpentry skills, it is really not difficult to decorate a restaurant.

The whole restaurant, the third floor is a private room, that is, a VIP private room, the first and second floors are scattered seats, of course, the second floor is definitely higher than the first floor.

All the windows, wooden columns, decorations, etc. were carved by Fang Xiaoyue herself.

The private rooms on the third floor have their own styles, or mountains and rivers, or splendor, or fairy pavilions and so on.

The second floor is the auspicious pine crane, the longevity of Fulu, and the first floor is the wide financial resources, more than the years and so on.

After the overall carving and decoration is completed, it is finished by painting it several times.

Of course, the most important thing is to change the name of the restaurant.

The name Xianghe Restaurant is not good in Fang Xiaoyue's opinion.

A restaurant takes this name, and it is not a residential area.

Of course, he didn't have the ability to choose a name, so he took the name Shangui Restaurant according to his memory.

Well, Cui Shangui is not a high level of education, and according to tradition, it is very reasonable to name the restaurant after the name of the restaurant owner.

After he straightened out the purchase channels of the restaurant's ingredients, Shangui Restaurant opened in a series of firecrackers.

In order to make the restaurant business prosperous on the first day of opening, Fang Xiaoyue also thought of some ways.

For example, setting off firecrackers, inviting people to play lions, sprinkling small red envelopes, etc., and the most important thing is that the restaurant is open, all of which are 9% off!

If you pre-deposit 5 Yinyang for the card, then you can discount it and get an 8% discount! If you pre-deposit 20 Yinyang for the card, you will get a 7% discount on the discount!

At the same time, one lucky diner will be selected every day for the next week!

Okay, once this set of marketing methods from modern society was used, those guys who were watching the excitement outside the restaurant suddenly rushed into the restaurant one by one.

It's like picking up a big bargain.

Since then, Shangui Restaurant has become an instant hit and has become famous in Nanxiang County.
