When Liu Dan returned to the restaurant, the banquet on the first, second, and third floors had already begun.

In order to avoid the embarrassment of his father and brother, Liu Dan did not choose to return to the Qiankun Hall, but went to the counter to settle accounts with Ren Ying.

"How's business going today?"

Liu Dan walked to the counter and asked without words.

Ren Ying immediately replied with a smile after hearing this.

"Three thousand gold! I made 3,000 gold in one morning! ”

After hearing this, Liu Dan's face was full of doubts.

"How is that possible? Qiankun Hall is my father's treat today! ”

Ren Ying nodded with a smile.

"Yes, Lord Liu ordered someone to send 2,188 gold!"

Liu Dan rolled his eyes directly after hearing this.

"What kind of ability is it to earn your own family's money? Earning other people's money is the real earning! ”

After hearing this, Ren Ying immediately took out another gift list and said.

"I'm talking about today's income, and this is a gift list for visitors. A total of 36,78 gold! ”

When Liu Dan heard this, he suddenly came to his senses.

"Huh! These people really don't eat for nothing! What's that, little two! Two jars of fine Docon wine on all tables! It's sent from the store! ”

Many juniors immediately responded, and then shouted one after another.

"Boss Liu sends wine to Du Kang! Two jars per table!! ”

The shouting was heard from the first floor to the second floor, and from the second floor back to the first floor.

In an instant, the whole restaurant became lively, and the guests at all tables praised the atmosphere of the restaurant owner.

The opening ceremony of Mei Xiang Building was a great success, and the guests on the first, second and third floors were very satisfied.

Liu Dan wanted to continue to open at night, but after all, he underestimated the materials used in the takeaway kitchen, so all the ingredients were used up before it got dark.

The restaurant earned 54,000 gold from gift money plus wine and food, and 8,100 gold from takeaways.

Liu Dan still underestimated the spending power of the Han Dynasty's nobles and wealthy merchants, and also underestimated their ability to accept new things.

So on the evening of the first day of the opening of Mei Xiang Building, although the door was still open as always.

But all the dishes inside were hung with sold-out wooden signs.

Liu Dan let the men and cooks who had been busy all day go home to rest, leaving only a few people closest to them to guard the brightly lit empty store.

Ren Ying also went home to take care of her bedridden father, Liu Dan, Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou gathered around a table to drink, eating the only few plates of cold dishes left.

"Do you feel aggrieved when you open a restaurant here with me?"

Liu Dan picked up a glass of wine, looked at everyone thoughtfully and asked.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou stared at each other with wide eyes after hearing this, Zhang Fei turned his head to look at Guan Yu, who was silent with his head down, and Zhang Liao was looking at Liu Dan all the time.

In an instant, the atmosphere at this table was extremely embarrassing.

Liu Dan saw that no one spoke, so he smiled and continued to speak.

"There is a saying that I don't know if you have heard of it, to govern a big country, if you cook a small fresh. It is necessary to be careful, patient, attentive, and persevering. ”

Guan Yu slowly raised his head when he heard this, and Zhang Liao nodded thoughtfully.

Zhang Fei, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou scratched their heads very tacitly.

Liu Dan could see that the third brother must not understand at all.

"Let me put it a little simpler, everything we do now is to accumulate strength for the great cause in the future!"

"Cutting vegetables and radishes for a day is also part of the accumulation of strength?"

Zhang Fei blinked his eyes, looked at Liu Dan with confusion and asked.

"After every swing of your knife, it is not only the green vegetables and radishes that are cut, but also our dreams! Third brother, do you remember the dream when we were married? The original dream! ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately slapped the table excitedly and said.

"Of course I remember, the three of us brothers unanimously swore to help the Han family and save the people!"

Liu Dan nodded with great satisfaction after hearing this, and then looked at Guan Yu and asked.

"Second brother, do you think our goal has changed now?"

Hearing this, Guan Yu turned his head and looked at the luxurious restaurant.

He didn't speak, but seemed to have answered Liu Dan's question.

"Can opening a restaurant also support the Han family?"

Wen Chou couldn't help it, and asked in a whisper.

After hearing this, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Yan Liang immediately paid attention to Liu Dan.

After hearing this, Liu Dan still smiled lightly first, and then spoke slowly.

"Everyone knows how much money you made today, right?"

After hearing this, the four of them all had disdainful looks on their faces, obviously money was as insignificant as dung in the eyes of a macho man like them.

Liu Dan was not surprised at all when he saw the reaction of the four people, he just took a sip of wine and drank it gently before continuing.

"You all know the number, so I won't say more. I just want to ask you a few questions, second brother, tell me first, how much gold does it cost to buy a hundred fine Pu knives now? ”

Guan Yu immediately came to his senses after hearing this, and blurted out almost without thinking about it.

"If you follow the price of Luoyang West Market, it is about two taels of gold!"

Liu Dan nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and then he looked at Zhang Fei and asked.

"Third brother, do you know how much gold it costs to buy a hundred spears?"

Zhang Fei said with a smile after hearing this.

"I knew my eldest brother was going to ask this! Coincidentally, I just went to ask the day before yesterday, and I can't buy ready-made spears, but if you want to fight, a hundred good iron spears will cost about one, two, or three gold! ”

Liu Dan nodded with great satisfaction after hearing this, and then he asked Zhang Liao, Wen Chou, and Yan Liang some questions about military supplies and armament prices.

Almost all of them answered casually, and it seemed that they were really concerned about the military side of things.

"Big brother, what are you asking us to do with these things? What does this have to do with opening a restaurant? Or are you going to open another blacksmith shop in the future? ”

Zhang Fei couldn't help but ask, which instantly attracted Liu Dan's eyes.

"You still haven't figured it out? In fact, the war is fought against the economic strength of both the enemy and us! To put it more bluntly, fighting a war is actually more than who burns more money! ”

After hearing this, the four of them suddenly had a feeling that their eyes lit up.

Liu Dan saw that the four of them were in good spirits, so he immediately struck while the iron was hot and said.

"In a small local war, we can win by fighting more with less, and defeating the strong with the weak! But what if it turns into a war between major powers? Or is it a very grand battle? At that time, could you still use tens of thousands of people to win against millions of people? ”

"The war has escalated to a certain level, in fact, the competition is the economic strength of the two countries! Recruitment, tuntian, armament, transportation, craftsmen, which one lacks financial support? ”

"You are all the best of the best! Really, you will definitely be the generals of the Megatron side in the future! You don't need to think about such a complex level, you just need to go into battle and kill the enemy! ”

"But I can't, I'm not just a general, I'm a coordinator who has to be in control. I have to provide you with all the support you need to fight the war, so I have to have a good financial base in my hands. Can you understand that? ”

Liu Dan didn't like to talk at length before, but this time he said it in great detail.

Because he was afraid that his brothers would lose their blood, and that he would mistakenly think that he had lost his fighting spirit.

But that won't happen anymore!

Liu Dan believes that after this heart-to-heart exchange, these four people will definitely be able to realize their good intentions.

"Big brother, you don't need to say it, I understand. Guan Mou punished himself with a cup! ”

"Big brother! I'm the same, I'm also punishing myself! ”

"Big brother, Zhang Liao punishes himself with a cup!"

"Lord, I also punish myself! Three shots! ”

"I'll give you four drinks!"
