Chapter 229: Heavy Solicitation
"Yo, Deacon Shen, your old man is here. The shopkeeper of the elixir shop hurriedly greeted him.
In terms of high-grade spiritual weapons, if this arouses suspicion in the future, Yan Yue will explain it with "the birth of a new type of refining technology".
But if the spirit grass has a difference in its internal spiritual power, it is difficult to explain, and it cannot be said that a new cultivation technology was born.
Therefore, within a few days of the slight gain of the spirit grass in the treasure gourd, Yan Yue took it to the external storage bag and then directly put it into the market.
The spiritual power in these spirit grasses is only a little more than that of ordinary spirit grasses, and it is impossible to tell the difference in the spiritual power in them, but they seem to be relatively full.
The spirit grass sells well, attracting the attention of many people who purchase the spirit grass.
Yan Yue is playing the role of a deacon sent by a sect here, and this elixir shop is opened by his "sect".
"Take out the account book and let me take a look" Yan Yue glanced at the shopkeeper, and his bitter words sounded, with an arrogant attitude.
Took the account book handed over by the shopkeeper, carefully looked at the end from the beginning, and after reading it, the account book slapped on the table, and looked at the shopkeeper, "You little old man, do you have a covetous spirit stone?"
The shopkeeper was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said with a smile: "How dare you be greedy in the future." ”
Yan Yue sneered noncommittally, and then made all kinds of troubles, and refused to give up until the shopkeeper honored him.
After Yan Yue left, the shopkeeper looked at his back and sneered in his heart, this person is insatiable, but he is a layman, pretending to look through the account book for a long time, and he didn't find any clues about me.
"Most shopkeepers are greedy for profit, let alone man, but there is no way to ......"
Yan Yue found that almost all the shopkeepers were more or less corrupt, but if they were directly replaced, the people they exchanged would not necessarily be clean, just a waste of time and energy.
As for those who are not corrupt, they are just acting carefully, and this kind of person is just a lot of money if he does not move, and there are only a few who are really honest.
In the past few days, Yan Yue has distinguished these people and found a few good candidates among the guys, but these prepared henchmen are far from enough for more than fifty stores.
"It can't go on like this, we have to find a way to ......"
While thinking on the street, I suddenly heard the greeting of the second child of a restaurant, "Our store's 'second-order new Dongli wine' is on sale, and the guest officials should not miss it when they pass by." ”
"Second-order new Dongli Liquor?" Yan Yue stopped when he heard the greeting and looked towards this restaurant.
This restaurant is called "Juxian Building", and I heard that it is the semicolon of "Jixian Ju", one of the top ten restaurants.
"Guest officer, do you want a pot of 'second-order new Dongli wine'?" Xiao Er stepped forward to greet him warmly.
Yan Yue entered the restaurant with Xiao Er and ordered a pot of "Second-Order New Dongli Wine".
"Isn't the new Dongli wine a signature spirit wine that forgets worries, and you also sell it in your store? And it's a second-order one?" Yan Yue couldn't see any joy or anger in his expression, and asked Xiao Er.
Xiao Er said with a smile: "The guest officer doesn't know, this wine is brewed by Master Huang of our Nanming Alliance, he has returned the wine recipe to its original owner, and the wine recipe has been improved by Master Qin Guangyuan Qin of our Alliance, and the grade has been upgraded by one order, also known as 'Nanshan Wine'."
"Nanshan wine?"
When Yan Yue was selling stores, several stores on this street were taken down by others, and one of them was heard to be a branch of Jixianju at that time.
Now listening to Xiao Er, Yan Yue knows the truth and thinks that this restaurant is owned by the people of the Nanming Alliance, and the spirit wine masters in the store are the spirit wine masters who have studied in Jixian Residence.
When they opened the restaurant, they should have the intention of trying to make a comeback in the name of collecting immortal residences.
Yan Yue took a sip of wine, only to feel that the taste of this Nanshan wine was very similar to the drunken wine he refined.
Drunken Township is a first-order spirit wine, and this Nanshan wine is a second-order spirit wine, and there should be a few more second-order spirit medicines in the wine recipe.
"The recipe for this wine was really given to you by Master Huang, who forgot his worries?"
Xiao Er said: "It is the guest officer, this wine recipe was handed over to his senior brother Master Qin by Master Huang himself." With that, he ran to greet the other guests.
Qin Guangyuan in Xiao Eryan is Elder Huang's senior brother in the Nanshan faction.
One hundred and forty years ago, in order to compete for the place of the closed disciple of a fifth-order spirit wine master Qingfeng Daoist who was still alive at the time of the Nanshan Sect, the teacher Huang Chang and the others launched a wine refining competition, and later the person named Qin Guangyuan used a trick to make the second-order spirit wine temporarily have the image of a third-order spirit wine and won the final place.
Elder Huang had this festival with him, so how could he hand over the wine recipe of the "New Dongli Wine" to him?
Yan Yue thought for a while, his face was gloomy, and he went to the cup to forget his worries.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the cup, his divine sense saw the shopkeeper questioning Elder Huang, "Master Huang, the new Dongli wine is the signature spirit wine of our store, why did you hand it over to your senior brother?"
"Shopkeeper, I didn't hand over the wine recipe to others," Elder Huang explained to the shopkeeper, and then said, "The recipe for this wine is only composed of three kinds of elixirs, which are actually very easy to distinguish. ”
"But everyone outside is saying that you personally handed over the wine recipe to your senior brother......
The shopkeeper muttered, but didn't continue.
Yan Yue's drunken wine recipe is only made of three elixirs, such as Yuhua willow leaves, three white pings, and green poplar flowers.
Not to mention the spirit wine master, as long as you have a little research on spirit wine, you can also taste the spirit wine raw materials.
If you know more about the sake brewery, you can also guess the amount of medicine and the refining method, and it is very easy to reproduce the spirit wine.
However, the management of Qianyuan City explicitly prohibits this kind of stealing teachers, and even if they master other people's wine skills, they cannot be refined for commercial purposes.
Therefore, although some people have researched the recipe of drunken wine, they have not refined and sold it.
And the people of the Nanming Alliance, in order to take possession of this wine, changed the wine recipe and added a few second-order elixirs to make it a second-order spirit wine "Nanshan Wine", and directly publicly said that the original recipe of this wine was passed down by Elder Huang himself.
Drunken Township is only a first-order spirit wine, while Nanshan wine is a second-order, not only is the medicinal power stronger, but the original taste of the wine is also retained at the same time, which directly pulls away the customers who forget their worries.
The shopkeeper also knew that the spirit wine master could taste the wine recipe by tasting the spirit wine, however, Elder Huang's identity made her have to suspect that the wine recipe was leaked by Elder Huang.
If such a person from other factions stays in the store, sooner or later he will become a serious trouble.
"Master Huang, you haven't made any innovations recently, so let's change your three components to one percent. ”
After Elder Huang "refined" a new type of Dongli wine, he directly shared it with Elder Huang, but after that, Elder Huang did not innovate, and he regretted it and reduced the share to thirty percent.
Elder Huang had even felt that the fifty-fifty split was a bit too much, so the split was changed to thirty percent, and he didn't say anything.
But at this time, the shopkeeper directly changed three percent to one percent, and the meaning of her words, Elder Huang was already very clear.
"Thank you for your continued care, and in that case, let's find another job in the future. Elder Huang sighed and went outside.
and the master and apprentice of Ji Rou, walking lonely on the street.
"Master, where should we go now?" Elder Huang was expelled in disguise, and while Ji Rou was upset for him, he also felt very humiliated.
Elder Huang shook his head and walked to the door of the Juxian Mansion where he had stolen his skills.
"Hey, isn't this Senior Brother Huang, what's the matter, you want to go and come back?"
Coincidentally, Qin Guangyuan, who had stolen Elder Huang's skills, was walking out of the door, and at a glance he saw Elder Huang with a lonely expression.
This person is the person who has cut off Elder Huang's future many times, and Elder Huang hates him very much, but the other party is a descendant of one of the seven elders of Nanshan, and Elder Huang is powerless to reason with him.
sneered and said: "It's all people who have stepped into the coffin with half a foot, and those small methods have not changed at all." ”
Qin Guangyuan also smiled, "Seeing Senior Brother Huang like this, I'm afraid that he will be kicked out again, if Senior Brother has no place to live, we can reluctantly take you in, but you need to be my Spirit Wine Master apprentice." ”
Qin Guangyuan is similar in age to Elder Huang, and he has four bottles of wine, and he is in the late stage of foundation building.
Elder Huang, no matter his identity or cultivation, was far inferior to him, and he was powerless to argue with him, and his body trembled slightly due to anger.
Ji Rou on the side was really angry, and she didn't even care about the identity of the other party, "Obviously stealing the teacher, the attitude is still so reasonable, the family teacher is a superb wine artist, and wherever he goes, he is the object of competition from major restaurants." ”
"Really?" Qin Guangyuan was not annoyed by this little girl's rudeness, "Then I want to see who is willing to recruit Senior Brother Huang." ”
"Okay, you wait!" Xi Rou's father also owned a small wine shop, and wanted to use his tens of thousands of spirit stones to let her father recruit Elder Huang in front of Qin Guangyuan.
Just as he was about to rush home to ask for help, he suddenly heard a voice coming from behind, "This is Master Huang, who has refined homesickness and wine, and he has admired the name of Master for a long time in the next year." ”
Elder Huang turned his head to look and saw an elegant middle-aged man walking out of a restaurant called "Songfeng Building" opposite Juxian Building.
The middle-aged man looked at Elder Huang with a slight look of admiration on his face.
"Your Excellency knows you?" Elder Huang didn't know the other party, and asked suspiciously.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "The name of the master, like thunder under the ear, has long been admired, I can see it today, I am really fortunate to have three lives, can the master appreciate his face and go to the contemptible place to drink a few cups?"
As he spoke, he made a gesture of please.
When Qin Guangyuan was mocking Elder Huang, he encountered such a person who had been killed halfway, and said in a deep voice: "Look at what Your Excellency means, are you going to recruit him?"
The middle-aged man looked at Qin Guangyuan, looked directly at the other party, and there was no fear in his expression, and his face showed a light smile, "I have this intention below." ”
A similar scene had been encountered by Elder Huang not long ago, and he no longer wanted to live under other people's fences at this time.
Declined: "Your Excellency's good intentions are understood." ”
Ji Rou on the side also said: "Master, let's go to my Chengnan wine shop, and we don't have to be looked down upon by others." ”
"Slow" The middle-aged man saw that the two wanted to leave, so he hurriedly stopped in front of the two, "I am willing to pay a high salary to recruit Master Huang." ”
Seeing that the other party was going to compete with her, Ji Rou hurriedly said: "I will recruit the master on behalf of my father, and I will pay 30,000!"
"One hundred thousand. ”
After Ji Rou's 30,000 exits, before Elder Huang could come to his senses, a faint voice came directly from He Nianyue's mouth.
"Your Excellency is willing to pay 100,000 yuan to recruit me, the three-bottle spirit winemaker?" Elder Huang looked at the other party blankly, and his heart was extremely shocked.
Generally, the first and second bottles of spirit winemakers will not be recruited by major restaurants, only three bottles and above are eligible to be recruited by restaurants, and the price generally starts at 10,000 spirit stones.
Elder Huang was already surprised by the 30,000 yuan offered by the little girl, and he was even more shocked by the 100,000 yuan in He Nian Yue.
100,000 yuan, recruiting four bottles of senior spirit wine masters, there is no such price.
"Your Excellency, please don't make fun of me. "Elder Huang felt that He Nianyue had come to tease him after colluding with Qin Guangyuan, and he was about to leave.
He Nianyue hurriedly stopped in front of Elder Huang and said deeply at him: "I sincerely recruit the master in Xia, and please don't dislike this small shop that has not yet officially opened in Xia." ”
Seeing this, Qin Guangyuan on the side had a layer of concealment on his face, "Your Excellency, are you going against you?"
"How dare you, I just admire Master Huang in my heart. He Nianyue was not afraid of Qin Guangyuan's hidden murderous intentions, and looked directly at him.
Seeing this, Elder Huang knew that the two were not colluding to tease him, but he still couldn't believe He Nianyue's sky-high solicitation.
"How can you be old and decayed, and you have to be so valued by Your Excellency" When Elder Huang was in trouble, he had to be treated like this by others, and his mood was agitated, and he shook his face, "Your Excellency, please accept the old decay." ”
"The master can't help it," He Nianyue hurriedly helped him up, "Master, please follow me into the small shop to talk in detail." ”
As he spoke, he led Elder Huang into the restaurant "Songfeng Building" he opened, and when he turned around, he glanced at Xi Rou, who was a little unconvinced, and said secretly in his heart, Xiao Nizi, actually took my spirit stone and robbed the master with me.
He Nianyue, it is Yan Yuekai's identity in this Songfeng Building, here he plays a shopkeeper who can't refine wine, and he needs to recruit a spirit winemaker.
Seeing that Elder Huang happened to come to the front of Songfeng Tower, he directly recruited Elder Huang in.
The name of He Nian and Yue was obtained from the "He Yue" that the owner of the He family mound had forcibly wanted to change Yan Yue.
Yan Yue's personality is different for each identity, and the name of the store and the way of doing business are also different.
Songfeng Building is an elegant style category, and there are a large number of famous flowers planted in the building.
Yan Yue led Elder Huang to a private room, had a drink with him, and after discussing the details in detail, he handed over the restaurant to Elder Huang to take care of.
After Yan Yue left, Elder Huang was still in a dream, he not only got a lot of money from the shopkeeper, but also became the chief spirit wine master of the restaurant, and the shopkeeper even handed over the restaurant directly to him.
He is the chief sommelier of Songfeng Building, and he is also the chief treasurer, managing all matters such as accounts.
Even with his apprentice Ji Rou, he also became an official spirit wine master in the store, and he had the power to help Elder Huang assist in management.
Ji Rou looked at the elegant and unique flowers in the Songfeng Building, as if she was in a fairyland, "I will be the little housekeeper here in the future......"
thought of Erlenzi's junior brother, and sent a message to Erlenzi, and asked Erlenzi to follow her over as an apprentice of the spirit winemaker.
Yan Yue scolded secretly in his heart for a while, turned into Erlenzi, and found Elder Huang and said: "Master, Erlenzi may not be an apprentice of the Spirit Wine Master in the future, I need to find another higher business for my family's livelihood, and Erlenzi will still come to see you in the future." ”
Elder Huang's refining skills, Yan Yue has almost learned it, and if he plays the role of the apprentice of the spirit wine master again, it will just be a waste of time.
After saying goodbye to Elder Huang and Ji Rou, he went to the city to look for a job with a higher monthly rate.
"Hey, Erlengzi's understanding is actually good, it's a pity not to continue refining wine......"
Erlenzi insisted on leaving, and Elder Huang had no choice but to let him go.
Yan Yue can't manage so many shops by himself, so he needs to let a trustworthy person help him share the burden, and Elder Huang's character is very understanding, so he must be a trustworthy and good helper.
After that, he went to the major stores, constantly recruiting shopkeepers, associates, and all kinds of spirit wine masters and refiners that must be equipped, and at the same time, among these people, they observed and considered from all aspects, looking for confidants.
The spirit stone is cultivation, and Yan Yue spends his time on this, which is not a waste of time.
Among its restaurants, there is the Pour Cup House opened by Yuanying Gao, which specializes in selling high-quality spirit wine, the Afu Restaurant opened by Li Afu, which sells inferior spirit wine, and the Songfeng Building, which is handed over to Elder Huang.
As the art of refining wine is still growing, the business of various restaurants is very light.
In terms of spiritual weapon shops, there is only one Mowen spiritual weapon shop that has a booming business, but because of the limited sales policy, it has only been popular for a while.
Other spiritual weapon shops are equipped with some spiritual weapons that have only been buffed by the treasure gourd for a few days, and because they are newly opened, the business is relatively light.
The elixir shop is also the same as these elixir shops, although the elixir is better than the ordinary elixir, the people who can purchase the elixir are the spirit winers of the major restaurants, and these people are frequent customers of other shops, and it is difficult to attract business.
Spells, talismans, and refining materials are even more bleak in business.
However, Yan Yue is not in a hurry, everything needs to be in half a year, and when the spiritual weapon is enhanced into a "high-grade spiritual weapon", then he will use the spiritual weapon business to drive the business of other major stores.
After Yan Yue looked for some candidates with better character or more shrewdness, he began to plant staff in more than a dozen of the more than 50 stores, so that these people could be selected for positions.
And set them a series of distant goals, roughly giving them a year, so that they can develop the store business within this year and become at least one of the top 100 stores in Qianyuan City.
The business of these shops is not booming now, and Yan Yue's goal is like a daydream, and these new shopkeepers feel unbearable, and many people have the heart to resign.
Yan Yue saw their psychology and encouraged everyone, telling them that they must be able to believe in themselves.
Yan Yue's shop business will be booming after half a year, and now encourage the shopkeepers is to let them plant faith and strive for it, when less than a year, seeing that the business has improved greatly, and even really ranks among the top 100, they will have a great confidence in themselves.
At the same time, it can also play a role of encouragement and supervision.
Although Yan Yue reuses them, the wages he gives them are not necessarily much, because the business is cold now, if they all have high salaries, they will have a sense of slackness, and when the business is really hot after half a year, it will be difficult to deal with it at all.
Only when business is booming will their wages rise.
Yan Yue walked out of one shop and went to another, when he suddenly saw two young girls walking towards him.
When he saw these two people, he was shocked in vain, his face did not change, and he went straight forward.
When they got to the second daughter, one of the girls blurted out in shock, "Senior Brother Yan!"
