Wu Song left, but it did not affect the operation of Erlong Mountain, what should everyone do. It's just that life on the mountain is boring, and after Li Xiang assigns all the affairs, he has nothing to do all day. When he was bored, he remembered that he had a group of demons playing on the plane of "Journey to the West", so he found a skilled craftsman, made a basketball and football, and taught the minions on the mountain to play ball.

I have to say that the charm of football and basketball, no matter ancient or modern, after everyone understands the rules, they will soon know the taste and become addicted to playing. Li Xiang took the opportunity to introduce a league system, divided more than 700 minions into 14 teams, and then played a round-robin match. After the champions and runners-up were decided, Li Xiang taught them martial arts, which was a reward.

As soon as this league opened, the entire cottage erupted with great enthusiasm, and even Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi participated in it, playing happily. Don't look at Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi's high martial arts, they are big leaders, but on the field, they don't have any advantage, but because they are used to nature, they often use martial arts unconsciously when they are physically confrontational, which is naturally a foul. In front of Li Xiang, a discerning referee, their small actions are useless no matter how concealed they are, so they are always whistled and make them very faceless.

In the end, Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi quit and protested to Li Xiang together. Li Xiang thought about it and simply made rugby again. This sport is more suitable for the rough nature of these bandits, so Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi are happy, and even those minions are also very happy, and they are more interested in basketball and football.

It's just that rugby tends to have a lot of action and can easily get injured without protective gear. So Li Xiang simply created a batch of leather armor, which can not only be used when playing, but also on the battlefield in the future.

But when it comes to spending money to build leather armor. Li Xiang found an important problem, the income of the cottage has plummeted! Obviously, there are more business trips passing by from the bottom of the mountain. How can income plummet? After some investigation, Li Xiang found that the culprit turned out to be himself. Ever since he invented all kinds of ball games. The minions began to "not do their jobs", focusing on playing all day long, and they didn't even care about robbing the road.

But this is what Li Xiang likes to see, he doesn't like to rob homes and houses. But if you don't rob your house, where does the income of the cottage come from?

After thinking about it, Li Xiang decided to continue to open the restaurant! Open a chain restaurant! So he immediately took action, selected people who were willing to learn cooking from all the minions in the whole cottage, and asked Wu Dalang to teach them the craft; Choose the shrewd and capable, and train them to be the treasurers; Also select a part of the better ones to sell. Train them to be the second in the store with a modern service concept.

Although there are various competitions in Erlongshan every day, and they are in full swing, there are only a few people who can play after all, and those who can't go on the field are naturally unwilling to be spectators, so Li Xiang's selection plan is going very smoothly.

Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi ignored Li Xiang's plan to open a chain restaurant, Li Xiang took the initiative to report to them, and they also sent him away with a sentence of "I know, you can do it". Since let Li Xiang watch it. Then Li Xiang was not polite, and picked out the group of people who learned the fastest and sent them down the mountain to open a shop in the nearest town. At this time, someone reminded that there was a good man in the nearest town called Cao Zheng, a knife ghost. is a good friend of the two big bosses, and he also runs a restaurant. If the cottage also opens a restaurant, do you want to say hello?

Cao Zheng's name Li Xiang still remembers. It's just that if no one reminds him, he really doesn't remember. Since this Cao is his own person. That's even better. Li Xiang went to Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi and asked them to separate one person. When I went down the mountain to see Cao Zheng, I said that I wanted to open a restaurant with him. It just so happened that Yang Zhi's team lost to Lu Zhishen in the game, and he had nothing to do with him in the next event, so he went with Li Xiang.

Seeing Cao Zheng, Li Xiang told him about his plan, Cao Zheng naturally agreed, and there was no need to open a new store, so he redecorated his original storefront, and Li Xiang sent someone to enter directly. As for the shares, everyone is divided fifty-fifty. They are all brothers, so they don't have to worry so much about money.

Cao Zheng went out of the store and made people, and the cottage just sent a chef and a shopkeeper, accounting for fifty percent of the shares, and Cao Zheng was a little too generous. Yang Zhi hurriedly said: "It's not proper, although you and I are brothers, but our brothers also have to settle accounts, how can we divide the accounts in five or five?" Or ......"

I don't want Li Xiang to interject on the side: "Leader Yang is right, how can you divide the account fifty-fifty?" It should be two, three, five! You are two, the guy I sent is three, and the copycat accounts for five, I think this is reasonable. ”

Although Cao Zheng values righteousness over money, he is not a person who is bullied, his face immediately sank, and he said, "Brother Yang, you also mean this?" ”

Yang Zhi is now similar to Wu Song, and he already has a sense of superstition about Li Xiang, as long as it is a decision made by Li Xiang, no matter how unbelievable it is, he will think that there is a deep meaning in it. Now Cao was about to turn his face, he hurriedly reassured: "Brother Cao, don't worry, sister-in-law must have his reason for saying this, you listen to your sister-in-law first, and then it's not too late to make a plan." ”

Since Yang Zhi said so, Cao Zheng had no choice but to listen to what Li Xiang said. Li Xiang first threw Yang Zhi an appreciative look, and then said slowly: "The reason why I say this is because I want to invite Brother Cao out of the mountain to lead the restaurant for the cottage." You must know that I don't plan to open only one hotel, but try to open all the states and counties, open to Tokyo Bianliang, open to Liaoguo, open to Xixia, and let our Baozhu Restaurant open all over the world. With so many hotels, you need a person in charge, and I think Brother Cao is very suitable. All restaurants, you can divide the profits into two layers, and the profits of the third layer are distributed to the shopkeepers, chefs and other guys who do not add the restaurant, and the remaining fifty percent goes to the cottage. ”

This kind of chain restaurant management method, in fact, is not a novelty, even if there is no sense of chain management, but there are also people who make money, they want to open a few more restaurants, make more money. However, no one has planned to open restaurants all over the world before opening a store, which is simply arrogant. Cao Zheng was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he couldn't help but look at Li Xiang's eyes a little strange.

Li Xiang knew that Cao Zheng must now think that he was bragging, so he continued: "Of course, it is unrealistic to open so many restaurants at once, we can take our time." Once you have gained a foothold in one place, you have made money, and then you can use the money you earn to develop the next place. It snowballs and continues to develop, and sooner or later we will reach our goal. In addition, opening a restaurant to make money is not our whole purpose, the restaurant is a place with many people, and it is easiest to hear some gossip. Don't underestimate these gossip, maybe there is a lot of information in them. Therefore, Brother Cao, you also have to take care of the heavy responsibility of collecting intelligence. ”

Cao Zheng didn't dare to underestimate Li Xiang, a delicate little lady at this time, and said with a straight face: "If you can be valued by your sister-in-law, the little brother is honestly afraid, but I am afraid that the little brother is shallow and thin, and it is difficult to take on a heavy responsibility!" In case of the loss of the cottage due to poor ears and eyes, the younger brother can't afford it! ”

Li Xiang said with a smile: "Brother Cao doesn't have to be so solemn, we are a cottage, not a country, just do your best to find out the intelligence or something, you don't have to hear everything." On the contrary, now making money for the cottage is the main purpose. You don't know, now all of our cottages are not doing their jobs, up to the owner of the village, down to the minions, all playing ball all day long, and they are not serious about robbing the road. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xiang also glared at Yang Zhi by the way. Yang Zhi shrunk his neck and didn't speak, but lowered his head in shame. This made Cao Zheng feel incredible, what kind of ball is so fun? I forgot about the robbery, is this still a bandit? But he couldn't ask about this, so he could only say: "Since my sister-in-law has said so, my younger brother will not refuse." Please rest assured that Brother Yang and sister-in-law will definitely open the restaurant as soon as possible, at least let the brothers have a full meal. ”

Having said that, Cao Zheng monopolized the two floors of all chain restaurants, which is indeed a lot, and he naturally has nothing to say. After that, he asked the chef who came with Li Xiang and them to show his hand, made a good banquet on the table, and let everyone eat and drink together.

After eating and drinking enough and resting for the night, Li Xiang and Yang Zhi returned to the mountain. Back in the cottage, Li Xiang and Wu Dalang both stepped up their training of cooks and shopkeepers, and then sent to Cao Zheng for each batch of training and obeyed his dispatch. And Cao Zheng is also very hard-working, the cottage is not much money now, so he funded his own funds and opened the first branch in the nearest big city of Qingzhou.

Qingzhou is not an ordinary small county town, and its consumption capacity is more than ten times stronger. In addition, the cooking skills taught by Li Xiang and Wu Dalang are indeed top-notch, and the food they make is extremely delicious, and they soon became famous. The reputation spread, and the business of the restaurant was better, and a lot of money flowed into the public account of the cottage.

However, if the business of the restaurant is good, it will also arouse the covetousness of some people. I heard that the restaurant has no background, it was opened by a group of outsiders, so from time to time, there are public people who come to check, and the gangsters come to make trouble, and then someone hints to the shopkeeper to obediently hand over most of the shares, otherwise the restaurant will not open.

For this situation, Li Xiang and Cao Zheng had already expected that at the beginning of the store, they quietly passed through the small house of Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou, to spread the reputation of Baozhu Restaurant's wine and cuisine to the prefect's mansion. It didn't take long for Murong Yanda to hear about it, and naturally he wanted to come and see if it was really the first in Qingzhou as rumored. When Murong Yan arrived, Cao Zheng, the proprietor, naturally had to receive him personally. Although Cao Zheng was only a pig slaughterer before, he was originally from Tokyo, and he was also well-informed, and he deliberately curryed favor with the Murong Prefect, which naturally made the Murong Prefect feel at home.

It's just that it's not good to serve well, when the wine is hot, Cao Zheng took the opportunity to send a hundred taels of silver to the filial piety, and said that because the restaurant has just opened, the filial piety is a little less, but as long as the restaurant is still open, it will give 30% of the profit every month in the future.

Murong Yanda originally just came to eat, and he didn't think that there would be benefits to having a meal, which made him very satisfied, and he immediately smiled. But this silver was not taken for nothing, when he was threatened, Cao Zheng found Murong Prefect and cried. When the prefect of Murong heard that someone was going to compete with him for food, he was naturally very unhappy, and immediately sent someone to protect the restaurant, and he often went to the restaurant to eat. In this way, the guy who wants to take the industry for nothing can only stop fighting. (To be continued.) )
