Chapter 137: The British Mansion Becomes a Joke Again Li Qiao's counterattack

British Mansion.

The seventy-year-old lady sat in the flower hall, looking at the kneeling stewards in front of her, her face gloomy as water, and smashed the crutches in her hand to the ground.

"You waste, that Li Qiao has come up with a new way to play in gambling, but you can't even make a duck, what does the old body want you to do?!"

A few stewards lowered their heads and secretly complained.

They had already sent someone to follow the Li family, who was in charge of purchasing duck seasonings, but the duck seasonings actually needed dozens of seasonings, so many seasonings, just according to the proportion, it would take a lot of effort.

They can't be blamed for that.

They also employ celebrity chefs.

But these celebrity chefs haven't figured it out for two months, what can they do? They can't do it on their own.

The old lady saw that these stewards were silent, and the anger in her heart was even stronger.

They are dignified British Mansion, but they can't help but be a small five-grade official, the face of the British Mansion has been trampled on the ground once by Na Li Qiao, if they don't fight back this time, then the face of the British Mansion will really not be able to be lifted on the ground completely.

Besides, in addition to face, there is also silver!

The profits of the British public shops together are not half of the casinos, and now the casinos have plummeted, and this month's profits are unprecedentedly low.

Their British mansion's money bags are going to be deflated!

There is no money to spend, this is a more serious thing than losing face, what can I do?

The old lady was worried, and felt that scolding alone was not enough to make these stewards remember today's predicament, so she ordered them to be given ten boards.

Just after the fight, the British duke returned home.

The British Duke went to the Five Princes to discuss countermeasures.

I didn't expect Li Qiao, this kid to be quite capable, but the fifth prince promised the saint that he would not retaliate against Li Qiao.

It's tricky!

The old lady saw the frowning brow of the British duke, and her heart was clear.

There's no way to get back!

"The fifth prince said, don't touch the surnamed Li for the time being, our shop will open as usual."

"Although the taste is a little lost to the one surnamed Li, but now the Li family duck shop has a lot less duck goods every day, and those diners can't buy what they want to eat in the Li family duck store, so they will naturally go to our shop."

The British Duke said with a calm face.

This is the solution he and the five princes discussed for a long time, and finally came to a solution.

I've bought so many ducks, I have to use them.

And, apart from the duck, those hot drinks are actually very easy to make, and those celebrity chefs have already made several drinks.

You should be able to earn a lot of money just by relying on drinks.

Nine times out of ten, customers lost in the gambling house can be recovered on duck goods.

When the old lady heard this, she was really angry: "In this way, he rode on our heads again, maybe how many people are watching the jokes of our house!" ”

When the British public heard this, his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Who told you to find all the waste, and figure out the recipe for the duck goods earlier, then there will be no such thing?" ”

"You! Who am I doing this for? If it weren't for the fact that the money at home couldn't support your grandfather's extravagant spending, I would have the idea of duck goods?! ”

The old lady raised her hand to rub her heart, she had no conscience!

"Who's going to be big-spending? That's the necessary expense for the five princes to win over people! If you want to make a contribution to the dragon, but you don't want to pay for money, how can there be such a good thing in the world? ”

"You don't fool me with this, when I don't know what you're doing with the money? The dignified grandfather, an eighty-year-old man, and a sixteen-year-old girl who went to Huohuo's house, phew! Shameless! ”

The old lady grabbed the crutches in her hand angrily, and she couldn't wait to draw it to the British duke.

The British Duke was exposed, and he was suddenly a little uncomfortable, he flicked his sleeves, dropped the unreasonable words with a black face, and then went straight out of the door.

Just like this kind of tigress with her teeth and claws dancing at every turn, he saw it and made a blockage in his heart.

Of course, he had to find a gentle and lovely interpretation flower.

The British duke threw up his sleeves and left, and the old lady was so angry that she wanted to wipe away her tears.

However, thinking of the situation in the house, she could only pack up her mood and prepare to let the shop open early.

In the current situation, we have to fight back quickly.

The first is to quickly earn back the lost silver, and the second is to let the Shengjing people take a look at the means of the British government.

If you can get back as much face as you can!

At the end of November, a larger and better decorated duck shop appeared in Shengjing City.

This duck shop is the same as the Li family's duck shop, selling duck goods, vegetarian dishes, drinks, and the difference between this duck shop is that this duck shop is open from morning to evening, and customers can go whenever they want.

Soon arrived in the month of Layue, just into the month of a heavy snowfall, the snow is knee-deep, in the middle of the night Li Qiao took an ox cart to the court, almost late.

There should have been a court meeting today, but Sheng Hong was sympathetic to the hundred officials and did not let the hundred officials go to the court, if there was anything, he could hand him an excerpt.

Li Qiao couldn't help but praise Sheng Hong in her heart, Mingjun!

In this kind of weather, if he is in the court, then he will at least have to stand at the door of the main hall against the cold wind for half an hour, fortunately!

However, even if you don't go to court, it's not very warm today.

After he was promoted, he was still in the same room with Master Li and Lord Duan, the room was large and empty, in this case, even if there was a charcoal basin beside him, it would not be hot.

Today is still reading.

Since he was promoted, he has been studying full-time, one after another, and he has read almost one-tenth of the books in the collection of the Hanlin Academy.

Seriously see noon, lunch time is coming.

Xin Zhi carried the tray and ran to him to eat with him.

It's cold today, so in addition to the regular two dishes and one soup, his meal also has an extra bowl of hot and sour soup to ward off the cold.

There is enough vinegar and chili pepper in the hot and sour soup, and when you drink it in one sip, the taste is quite rushing.

Xin Zhi grinned and took a sip, reluctant to drink it.

He looked at Li Qiao, who was holding a spoon and drinking one bite after another, and his face did not change, and his heart suddenly felt admiration.

Although Brother Li lived a lot of hard lives in the past, now that he is rich, he can still eat food every time, which is really valuable.

It's just that such a pure and harmless person has been bullied all the time.

"Brother Li, wow, why don't your duck shop be changed to something else for the time being? Although your lo-mei is selling well now, it is not as good as when you sold duck goods in the past. ”

Since I couldn't buy enough ducks, the Li family duck store sold other lo-mei, such as braised pig's head and pig's trotters, roast chicken, etc., which tasted good, but because it was not the only one, the business was not as good as before.

Moreover, with the opening of the duck shop in the British government, the business of the Li family's duck shop is even worse.

Because the drink in the duck shop in the British government tastes similar to that of the Li duck shop.

Although the taste of duck goods in the British duck shop is not as good as that of the Li family's duck store, who let only his family have duck goods.

Coupled with the fact that the drinks taste almost the same and are open all day, the duck shop in the British Mansion is doing okay.

According to the observation of his subordinates, in just seven or eight days, the net profit per day was almost two hundred taels.

That's not a small number, it's 6,000 taels a month.

Although this profit is not as good as the heyday of the British public gambling house, it is definitely not small.

Alas.

Just think about it and get angry!

Even if Li Qiao crushed the gambling house of the British Mansion, but relying on a duck shop, the British Mansion made up for a lot of losses.

Although the British government is still at a loss, the so-called first flirtatious is cheap, since the British government is shameless first, it should not be able to earn a penny!

Li Qiao looked at Xin Zhi, who was sad for a while, and then indignant, drank the remaining hot and sour soup in the bowl in two bites, and then said with a smile: "I'm going to do something else, start making hot pot tomorrow, feel free, you have to go to the party." ”

"Hot pot?" Xin Zhi was stunned.

"Yes, on such a cold day, it's very suitable for eating hot pot."

"No problem." Xin Zhi immediately snapped his fingers: "Tomorrow happens to be resting, I will definitely go!" ”

But soon he frowned again: "What about the British Mansion?" Just watching them make money? ”

"First cold dressing, I have asked the Han family to raise ducks for me, and when this batch of ducks grows up, the dilemma of my shop will be solved."

However, before that, he must not be able to watch the British government imitate him to earn money.

The price war can be started.

There is still a wooden sign in front of the Li family's duck shop to buy ducks, but the price per catty has increased a lot, which is 30 yuan higher than the duck shop in the British government-

One pound is thirty yuan, so a duck weighing two or three pounds can be sixty-ninety yuan higher.

With the launch of this wooden plaque with the hot pot, the news spread all of a sudden, and those who had ducks in their hands hurriedly sent them to the Li family duck shop.

However, just an hour later, the duck shop in the British government also put up a new purchase price, which was five cents higher per catty than the Li family's duck shop.

Li Qiao was naturally not frightened, and changed the wooden card, and the price per catty was 30 Wen higher than that of the British government.

As a result, the purchase price of the duck was raised to nearly 100 pounds by Li Qiao.

According to the situation of the Li family's duck store, the net profit of a duck is about 300 Wen, and now the purchase price of a duck is as high as more than 200 Wen, so that the net profit of a duck is only 20 or 30 Wen.

Even if it is calculated according to thirty wen, then even if you make a thousand ducks a day, then the profit is only thirty taels.

Doubled, that's only sixty taels!

Just when the British government was panicking and had not yet decided whether to follow Li Qiao to raise the price, in the evening, Li Qiao made another more ruthless move.

He directly announced the practice of several drinks.

Anyone who has a stone mill at home can do it yourself.
