Chapter Ninety-Four: Bright Moon Cake 5
Genius one second to remember the address of this site: (vertex Chinese)., the fastest update! No ads!
Murong Chong remembered the scene when he first arrived in the kitchen, all the chefs, assistants, and men gathered around Lin Ruo, praising her masterpiece, and suddenly thought of something, and said, "I see." ”
The one hundred taels of bright moon cake was completed by the chef and assistant chef of the gluttonous sea, and Lin Ruo was purely showing off his skills after the big guy was busy.
Lin Ruo hooked the corners of his mouth, pointed to the bright moon cake in front of Murong Chong, and said with a smile: "This, a hundred taels of gold is about the same." ”
Murong Chong smacked his lips, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was overflowing: "What a profiteer!" ”
"Thank you for the compliment."
Lin Ruo didn't laugh angrily, she didn't think the word "profiteer" was derogatory, but felt that it was a compliment.
First, the word "rape", open to understand, the left is a "female" word, the right is a "dry" word, the original word has the meaning of treacherous and cunning, which can be understood as the meaning of a woman who is shrewd and capable. Isn't that a compliment?
Second, the world says that profiteers are mercenary, so from this point of view, anyone who can be called a "profiteer" must have their own unique vision, and can find profitable business opportunities in the first time.
Third, from the perspective of long-term interests, "agriculture" is the foundation of national consolidation, while "business" is the source of national wealth. The reason why "profit-seeking and cunning" is used to describe businessmen is that there is some jealousy. In all fairness, how many people in this world don't want to sit on the sky? But how many people can win a huge amount of money? Using "treacherous" to describe businessmen, although there are indeed many black-hearted businessmen, there is a taste of not being able to eat grapes and saying that grapes are sour. It also shows the envy of ordinary people for "business".
This insight can be described as a unique way. When Murong Chong listened to it, he thought about it seriously, and couldn't find a reason to refute it, so he nodded approvingly.
It is indeed eye-catching that a merchant reaps a tenfold profit from not producing.
But in Lin Ruo's words, there is one point that makes the key clear: to make the country stable, business is not as good as agriculture; However, if the country wants to become rich and strong after it is stabilized, agriculture is not as good as business.
Looking at the prosperity of Bian'an City, isn't it created by businessmen who come and go endlessly?
Looking at all parts of Donglu, and even all countries in the world, all prosperous capitals are all places where businessmen come and go.
Looking at it this way, the word "profiteer" has really become a compliment!
But even so, those who can calmly call themselves "profiteers" and be proud of their identity as "profiteers" are probably the only ones in the world.
Those who stand in the heavens and the earth and have a clear conscience can be fearless.
And Lin Ruo is such a fearless person.
Lin Qian saw through this very early, so he didn't rely on his sister Lin Yuan'er to be promoted to the county lord of Pingrong and became an official in the court.
He knows very well that he is not good at the intrigue of officialdom, and a title of "imperial businessman" is more valuable to him. However, he had the idea of letting Lin Qi join the office, but the idea was not very strong.
But since Lin Ruo arrived at the Lin family and began to follow him to participate in the Lin family's business, he dispelled the idea of cultivating Lin Qi into the office, and only wanted to expand his wealth, which is also an important reason why the Lin family can become the richest man in Bian'an City step by step, with shops all over the world.
On the other hand, in Bian'an City, those businessmen who used to be richer than the Lin family, after making a lot of money, always wanted to let the younger heirs enter the office for the glory of the ancestors, and gave away a lot of silver, and finally ended up with two talents, which is really a kind of regret that the gains outweigh the losses.
Money and power, greed is enough.
If you are too greedy, the bamboo basket will be empty.
Everyone understands the truth, but when money and power are within reach, how many people can refuse such a temptation?
Murong Chong's gaze at Lin Ruo was full of praise and appreciation. Thinking of Lin Ruo's busy night, he noticed that there was also a hint of tiredness in her smiling eyes, and persuaded him: "The body has not fully recovered, let's rest first." ”
"Fortunately, I have been lying down to recuperate some time ago, and I don't feel particularly tired. It's just an itch today, so I just let Lao Qi prepare something to try his hand. For the next few days, I won't have to do it myself. ”
Murong Chong raised his eyebrows: "It's just a technical itch?" ”
Lin Ruo stuck out his tongue: "I can't hide anything from the prince." ”
"And with power."
Murong Chong spit out four words leisurely, and he once again saw Lin Ruo's ability.
Gluttonous Hai has been in Bian'an City for two years, and his reputation is so good that it stands to reason that many merchants have planted spies and stolen secret recipes in order to compete for business. But this kind of thing has hardly happened.
This is a very puzzling thing, but today, Murong Chong finally understood the reason:
First of all, the monthly money given by Tao Tao Hai is more than ten times higher than that of other merchants, and it is only a junior who runs the hall, and the monthly money can be compared with the shopkeepers of other restaurants. The name of the shopkeeper is false, but the silver in hand is real, who would want to lose such a good job? How many people have sharpened their heads and want to come in! So the gluttonous guys will only work harder.
The highest monthly money is precisely the lowest cost (1). There are very few people who dare to practice this.
Secondly, in addition to the monthly money, the gluttonous sea also has a lot of reward money every month. For example, like today's bright moon cake, according to the convention, each person in charge of the chef can get five taels of silver, three taels for the cook, two taels for the guys, and the little two who run errands in the main hall to solicit customers, inspect their performance, and can get a reward ranging from one or two to five taels, and after five days, it is a lot of savings. Over the course of a year, it is a lot of money for ordinary people! Such a big gesture can only be afforded by the Lin family.
Finally, and most crucially, it can also explain why Lin Ruo went to the kitchen in person and did it himself. Itchy skills and liking are only a small part of the reasons, and the biggest purpose is to let these people who have participated in the cooking of new dishes in the kitchen know that even if they can get the secret recipe, it will only be in vain, because the young lady of the Lin family is the real killer of the long-lasting gluttonous sea. The same secret recipe, cooked by the chef, can be regarded as a treasure; But what Miss Lin Jiashao cooked by hand is the best in the world!
The first two reasons are "Huai", and the last one is "Wei".
Therefore, instead of taking risks in vain and emptying the bamboo basket, it is better to settle down and do your job well and save more silver in your pocket, which is really useful.
Lin Ruo looked at Murong Chong and smiled knowingly. Murong Chong is a smart person, and the truth in this is naturally not difficult to figure out.
Reaching out, he took a piece of the moon cake on the table. I've been busy all night, I haven't eaten breakfast, and I'm already empty at the moment. Unfortunately, a rush of footsteps came out of place, and Lin Ruo couldn't help frowning.
"Miss, someone is making trouble!"
The voice of the grass came from outside the door, a little restless.
Lin Ruo's eyebrows never stretched, and he asked outside the door, "Who is it?" ”
"Gu Manni."
Note: (1) The original sentence is "When the salary is the highest, the cost is the lowest", according to Jack Welch.
Lin Ruo's next preview: "Ex-boyfriend" brought his current girlfriend to the door, how should my current husband and I deal with it?
