Lu Chen held Qiao Jinniang in his arms, and asked Fen Xiang, "Just because of the rumors, it's unlikely that all the original guest officials went to Feng's Restaurant."

Fennel sighed and said, "Feng's Restaurant said that within half a year after the opening of the new store, drinks are free, and every dish you order is free. No one's money is blown by strong winds. Naturally, it's where the cheapest goes."

Lao Yang sighed and said to Qiao Jinniang: "Little master, why don't we also waive the drink fee, and also deliver food?"

Lu Chen said: "That's not right, there are still some businesses in Baiwei Building today, which are for non-official rich businessmen to treat guests to discuss business, and there are also officials who come to eat at lunch, so it's inappropriate for them to eat, free of drinks and water.

I think we might as well give up doing business with our neighbors and focus on doing business with wealthy families.

The taste of Feng's restaurant is the same as that of our Baiweilou. He played the sign of free drinks and free food for half a year, intending to steal the business of Baiweilou.

If we follow this discount, even if all the guests come back, the loss if we don't earn money for half a year will be extremely heavy.

They are all from my own family, and I don't hide it from you. In Baiweilou, just you cooks, waiters, maids in the box, and singers need more than fifty taels of silver for a month.

Originally, if the business is easy to earn a lot of money, it’s fine. If it’s half a year’s loss and the profit is given to the neighbors, the loss will be at least three hundred taels of silver, which is not counted as tax. On weekdays, I donate to the government’s silver taels, and some pots and pans Waiting for the fee..."

Fen Xiang and the others said one after another: "If Baiweilou really doesn't make any money, we don't need the salary, as long as we have something to eat."

Qiao Jinniang sat at the main seat in the lobby, "My husband is right. If the drinks are free and you buy one get one free for this dish, we will lose too much in a month, and the cost must not be reduced. This way, it will be a penny If you don't earn, you will have to post a lot of silver taels.

It's time for Baiwei Restaurant to change. From tomorrow onwards, the ingredients we use must be the best in Lin'an City, and the prices of our dishes are at least twice that of other restaurants. "

Bajiao asked: "Doesn't that mean that there will be no familiar neighbors coming over in the future?"

Qiao Jinniang said: "If those familiar neighbors come to eat again, give them a little discount. Uncle Yang, you will go to Yue Kiln later, and tell Master Li that I want their good set of celadon, and let him come again." Burn fifteen sets."

Lu Chen said, "Not only the ingredients and utensils have to be changed, but also the singers here. It's best to go to Yangzhou and invite a few famous singers to come over and spread their reputation."

Qiao Jinniang stretched out her hand and tugged at Lu Chen's ear, "Okay, so that's your intention?"

Lu Chen covered Qiao Jinniang's hand and said, "How dare I, I just think that if you don't spread your reputation, those wealthy businessmen who come to discuss business and see the high price of vegetables will not think that the ingredients have improved, they will only dislike it too much. expensive.

If you use famous singers, famous tea, famous rice wine, and cherish rare ingredients, you can make those rich businessmen and nobles come here one after another. "

Qiao Jinniang thought for a while, "Then I'll ask someone to invite some singers over."

Lu Chen said: "Also, tea is also the most important thing. The price of Longjing early tea every year is high. I heard that the owner of the tea mountain by the Jinniu Lake is selling off the tea mountain recently. We might as well accept it. When the time comes, those teas from Ming Dynasty will sell their tea. Tea, Yuqian tea are all brought to Baiweilou as signboards."

Qiao Jinniang thought for a while, "If you want to buy that tea mountain, the price must be quite high."

Lu Chen said to Qiao Jinniang: "It's worth it. I earned about two hundred taels of silver from the business with those merchants in Dongying. I will hand it over to you to buy the tea mountain together, okay?"

Qiao Jinniang thought about it, and felt that Lu Chen's proposal was good, and it was only a matter of time before Chashan made money.

In two or three months, the price of those early teas will be very high.

In March, Qiao Jinniang's belly was already showing signs of pregnancy. She and Lu Chen went to the tea hill beside Jinniu Lake to pick tea leaves for the first time. Qiao Jinniang watched others pick them when she was young.

Lu Chen is not only picking tea leaves, but also protecting the safety of Qiao Jinniang's feet. The rain in the early spring in the south of the Yangtze River is always non-stop.

The first batch of Longjing is rare in the market, and there is a newly listed Longjing in Baiweilou. Many wealthy businessmen entertain relatives from other places or merchants who do business like to come to Baiweilou for dinner.

Some of them even came to the Baiwei Building to fetch the lotus back home.

In April, Lu Chen asked Qiao Jinniang for five hundred taels of silver and said he wanted to do business. Qiao Jinniang didn't know what kind of business he was going for, but only heard that he was cooperating with Xie Yun, so she generously gave Lu Chen the silver taels. .

Lu Chen remembered every payment clearly.

In June, Qiao Jinniang used the porcelain plate of Yue Kiln to pack some cool and refreshing pastries, which immediately became popular among the rich ladies in Lin'an.

On this day, Qiao Jinniang watched Lu Chen settle accounts in the accounting room of Baiwei Building. She leaned on Lu Chen's shoulder and praised without hesitation: "Brother Chen, you are really good, and you have earned back the principal all at once. .”

Lu Chen said: "It's also thanks to Xie Yun's help, he is very kind to you."

Qiao Jinniang tasted it: "Sister Xie is very good, but you can't just call sister Xie by her name."

"Little vinegar." Lu Chen scratched Qiao Jinniang's nose. When he first met, he knew that Xie Yun should be a man, and Qiao Jinniang was stupid.

Being backed by the big tree Xie Yun really made Lu Chen a lot of money.

Qiao Jinniang looked at the last balance of money, and then looked at the bank notes beside her, she was very surprised and said: "Is this money really ours? How can there be so much money?"

Qiao Jinniang was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth as she looked at the hundred taels of silver bills.

Lu Chen was very amused to see her look like a money fanatic, "In the future, our bank account will increase more and more, and our baby will be born soon, so we must give him the best. You love Chuanyun brocade, and you will also want to wear brocade in the future." You can wear brocade every day."

Qiao Jinniang put her arms around Lu Chen's neck and kissed him on the side of the cheek, "Brother Chen, you are so kind!"

Lu Chen's eyes dimmed slightly, he looked at Qiao Jinniang's pregnant belly, and could only sigh helplessly, "Jin'er, should we change to a big house?"

Qiao Jinniang said: "No need, I like the small courtyard where I grew up, and that small courtyard is big enough, we can live in four or five of us!"

Lu Chen smiled slightly, "Okay, I'll listen to you, but I always have a vague feeling that this house is much smaller than I remembered."

"Do you remember the past?" Qiao Jinniang asked. In fact, she was a little afraid that Lu Chen would remember the past. In just six months, she knew how capable Lu Chen was.

Although it is good to lean against the big tree Xie Yun to enjoy the shade, but if Lu Chen has no ability, he will not be able to earn so much money back.

He opened so many shops one after another, but none of them lost money. Chashan even made back its capital in two months, and he made a lot of money doing business with those foreign businessmen.

Such a capable gentleman was definitely not just a thing in the pool in the past.

Lu Chen shook his head: "I haven't remembered yet, I just think our small courtyard is too small."
