Chapter 166: Making Money
At this moment, Lin Yan was very depressed in his heart, and at the same time, he especially wanted to know what Xu Dahai and Li Zongsheng had ordered, and they had spent thirty taels of silver, could it be that they were directly holding the silver ingots and gnawing them?
When he looked closely, he found that the bill contained abalone, shark fin, and even lobster.
It must be known that Chang'an is not on the seaside, and these things are naturally expensive to transport here thousands of miles away. Of course, the most expensive ones are not these, but a name
A dish of "Bihu vinegar fish". I didn't pay much attention to it when I ate at that time, after all, although it is far away from Jiangnan, but this place is in Chang'an, what can't I buy?
Therefore, the fish is not very expensive, who would have thought that an ordinary grass carp could surpass lobster, abalone and other dishes in value, it is really incredible!
But now that I think about it, it seems that the fish I ate is not quite the same as ordinary fish. Its color is red and bright, the meat is fresh and tender, sweet and sour, the taste is soft and tender, with crab flavor, and it is distinctive.
All in all, it's delicious! However, when she thought of its price, Lin Yan felt a little painful, and it was really expensive!
Dian Xiaoer also deliberately emphasized that the grass carp was caught from the Bihu Lake and then transported to Chang'an by special means, and it was still alive until it was slaughtered.
This is also because this dish stands out as one
The word "fresh" must ensure the freshness of grass carp to enable customers to obtain the ultimate taste experience. There was a scholar who tasted this dish and felt it, and wrote a poem, among them
"The taste is sour, and the silver knife juniper is the favorite, and the river carp and river spinning are not as good" and exhausted its deliciousness. It's delicious, but spending so much money on one meal still makes Lin Yan a little uncomfortable.
He came from a small mountain village, although Lin Gu and the villagers treated him very well, basically taking what he wanted.
However, the consumption level of the small border village is naturally not the same as that of a city like Chang'an, so his living habits are still relatively frugal.
I silently calculated how much money I had left. Then I took the bill and paid the money. After all, friends are here to celebrate for themselves, so if it's more expensive, it's more expensive, and men want to be atmospheric, right?
However, Lin Yan made up his mind that he would hurry up and go there
"Xu Ji", discuss the next development plan with Xu An.
"I'm going to make money!" Lin Yan thought so. If you eat like this, it is estimated that it will not be long before you go bankrupt.
I thought that I had made some money by teaming up with Xu An before, and my net worth was good, but now that I think about it, I am still too naïve!
Forget it, everyone is happy! When they had eaten and drunk, they went their separate ways. Li Zongsheng and Xue Nishang were together, Tao Xiaotao and Moli were together, but Xu Dahai still followed cheekily, not to mention the way, his family is obviously in the opposite direction, isn't this the opposite?
Lin Yan was too lazy to complain, and ran with Mingya
"Xu Ji" and left. The others can be put on hold for now, and the top priority now is to make money! When he came to the street on weekdays, Lin Yan was surprised to find that it was
The small store of "Xu Kee" has changed greatly, and the store area has at least doubled. And there are a few guys busy inside, and even at this point in time, there are not a few customers in the store.
He looked around, but did not find Xu An's figure inside. Lin Yan immediately withdrew from the store and took a closer look at the words on the signboard, yes
"Xu Ji" That's right! Then he went into the store again to take a look, and found that most of the goods sold in it were his own goods, although they were not from his own hands, but they must have been assembled according to the drawings he had provided before!
What the hell is going on? Could it be that Xu An collapsed the store and let someone else take over? But it's not right, this sign hasn't been changed yet!
Just when Lin Yan was puzzled, a man suddenly came out of the back hall, it was Xu An! His temperament and dress at the moment are very different from the past.
If he gave people the impression of a standard reader before, then at this moment he can definitely be called a qualified shopkeeper.
It didn't take long! What happened to make him change so much?
At this moment, Xu An found Lin Yan standing by in a daze, and said in surprise: "Brother Lin, are you back?" Lin Yan nodded and said, "Brother Xu, who are you?" Xu An put his arm around Lin Yan's shoulders and said enthusiastically: "Come on, Brother Lin, follow me to the back hall to talk." He took Lin Yan and Ming Ya into the back hall, and then served each of them a cup of fragrant tea, and said to Lin Yan: "Brother Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much!" As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere in the audience was instantly a little awkward.
After all, when a big man says that he misses another man, there is always such an indescribable sense of disobedience.
However, Xu An is also a very normal man, so naturally he will not have any strange thoughts. He was not only thinking about Lin Yan, but also about his skills.
The ingenious skills and techniques really make people toss and turn in the middle of the night, and they can't stop! Although it is a bit exaggerated, it also represents Xu An's greatest affirmation and almost blind worship of Lin Yan's handicraft skills.
As if realizing that there was something wrong with his expression, Xu An hurriedly changed the topic, looked at Ming Ya on the side and said: "Brother Lin, I don't know if this girl is ......" Sometimes, if you say the wrong thing, don't explain it vigorously, because you may get darker and darker.
The best thing to do is to change the subject and get to the bottom of it naturally. Obviously, Xu An, who has changed a lot, has understood this.
Lin Yan glanced at Xu An deeply and said, "This is Mingya, like me, a student of the academy. Feeling Lin Yan's vigilant gaze, Rao is now different from the past, Xu An couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and thought desperately in his heart: "Big brother, I really don't have any other thoughts, it's just a mouthful of a moment." You must believe me! Xu An took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
The Qi cultivation kung fu he had just learned was almost broken, which made him look at Lin Yan with a slight resentment in his eyes, and the latter was even more vigilant when he saw this.
Then Xu An turned his head to Mingya and said, "Miss Mingya doesn't look like a local!" Mingya nodded and said:
"I'm from Nanban." Xu An was a little surprised when he heard this, after all, the relationship between Nanban and Tang was really not good, and there was often friction between the borders.
However, for a Chang'an person like him, who has lived in the mainland for many years, there is no bad feeling for the people of the Southern Barbarians.
And he also knew the rules of the academy, and there had always been no difference in doors, status, or race, so he was not surprised by this.
He looked at Mingya, smiled slightly, and said, "Miss Mingya has traveled thousands of miles to study here, she is really a model for my generation!" Ming Yatian smiled lightly, nodded her head slightly, and said, "The shopkeeper's fallacy is praised!" Then he stopped talking.
In addition to being more talkative in front of Lin Yan and some friends, Mingya still has a sense of alienation in the face of strangers.
Seeing that the audience was silent again, Lin Yan turned his head and asked, "Brother Xu, I haven't seen you for a while, it's changed so much here!" Then he paused and said, "You too!" "It's just a strange look in the eyes.
The corners of Xu An's eyes couldn't help twitching, and he said in his heart: "This thing can't be passed, right?" He pretended not to notice Lin Yan's gaze and said, "Brother Lin, this is still thanks to you!" Since the last time I accepted your suggestion, thanks to the workers, this output has skyrocketed, and the store no longer has to worry about running out of stock. ”
"When sales go up, you make more money. No, I've expanded my store and hired some new guys, and business is getting better and better! Lin Yan also nodded when he heard this, and he also admired Xu An's execution in his heart.
I just provided an idea at the beginning, but I didn't expect Xu An to really make it happen, and the effect was surprisingly good!
Then Xu An turned around and left, and after a while, he came back with a small wooden box, he put the wooden box on the table and pushed it in front of Lin Yan, and said, "Brother Lin, this is your share." Lin Yan stretched out his hand to open it, and there were silver tickets with a denomination of one hundred taels inside, and there were five of them.
Faced with such a huge amount of money, Lin Yan said in surprise: "Brother Xu, this is ......" Xu An smiled and said: "Brother Lin, this is the income from the operation of the store, in addition to the expenses for maintaining daily operations, according to our previous agreement, this is what you deserve!" ”
"Oh, I'm afraid that the silver will be inconvenient, so I will exchange it for a silver ticket on my own initiative, I hope Brother Lin doesn't mind!" Lin Yan waved his hand and said, "How come, Brother Xu is very thoughtful. He was still immersed in shock at the moment, and his choice to cooperate with Xu An at that time was also a temporary idea, after all, it is very slim for you to count on this kind of small shop to make a lot of money.
Who knows, it really made Xu An do a good job! Isn't this kid a genius in business, he just pretended to be before?
Then Lin Yan shook his head again, when he first met Xu An, the other party was about to close down, and it really didn't look like he was pretending.
Then it can only mean that he has experienced some things during the time he has left, thus completing the transformation.
As for the specifics, if the other party doesn't say it, it's inconvenient to ask yourself, after all, everyone has their own secrets, right?
It's just that Lin Yan was still worried about eating thirty taels of silver for one meal, but now he has five hundred taels of silver in his account.
This sudden feeling of affluence made him a little unreal, and he even felt that the meal just now was not so expensive.
Lin Yan said: "Brother Xu, don't be in such a hurry to give me the money. Since the business of the store has improved, there are many places where you need to use money, so it is better to leave some of them for store operation. Xu An smiled and said, "Brother Lin doesn't have to worry, the money required for the operation of the store is enough, so you can accept these with peace of mind!" Lin Yan thought about it, and did not refuse.
Xu An paused, and then said:
"Brother Lin, there is something you have to do!" Lin Yan said: "Brother Xu, but it doesn't hurt to say! Xu An said: "Brother Lin, you see that the business of the store is very good now, and there are more and more customers. It's just that the product types are still the same as before, and in the long run, they may lose their freshness. If Brother Lin is free, can you update it again! Lin Yan patted his chest and said, "It's a matter of duty!" Xu An said happily: "In this case, I will wait for good news in the future!" Lin Yan nodded, thinking: It seems that we have to innovate!
