On a spring day, a scholar in blue was walking in the city, stopping and stopping along the way, feeling the charm of this ancient city.

The spring sun in the sky is warm, the breeze is soft in the face, the green bricks of the street are shining, the water on the river is clear, the weeping willows on the bank are swaying, the ducks in the water are quacking, and the girl in front of you is laughing.

Returning to Qingyun Street, when passing Fugui Restaurant, Lin Haoran found a group of ordinary people surrounding the restaurant, and a waiter was still beating the gong, which seemed very lively.

He took a closer look and saw a row of dustpans and cooking pots and a little lamb with a colorful ball.

Plagiarism! Naked creative plagiarism!

Lin Haoran saw the red notice above and knew that his bundled marketing model had been plagiarized, and these plagiarists dared to shout loudly in the street.

But in this matter, he could only suffer the consequences. Even a modern society with complete rule of law would be powerless to deal with this kind of thing, let alone the Ming Dynasty, which emphasizes agriculture and suppresses business.

However, he was not angry. He glanced into the restaurant and curled up the corners of his mouth. In fact, he had considered that Chen Yuanwai would cause trouble for him, but he did not expect that he would adopt such a stupid method.

"I hit it! I hit it! I am the general!"

Just as Lin Haoran was about to leave, a woman holding a child and holding a bamboo stick in the air shouted excitedly. Many people surrounded her, confirming that this woman had really won the jackpot.

This IQ...

Lin Haoran couldn't help but burst into laughter. It seemed that he didn't even sell a few of the caged dustpan cookers just now. Now the first prize has been taken away. Who wants the remaining dustpan cookers?

I thought these people had figured out the ropes, but it turned out that he was overestimating them.

In this era of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, it was not only the status of businessmen that was suppressed, but also their heads. Sometimes he had to be narcissistic. I am afraid that there were few people in the entire Ming Dynasty who could match his business ability.

Returning to the restaurant, there were only a few diners in the lobby. Nie Yunzhu was sitting alone in front of the counter, his white teeth gently biting the tip of his thumb, his brows slightly furrowed, and he was staring at a booklet.

He walked over, tiptoed over the counter and found the restaurant's account book. He looked at her and raised her head just in time, and was about to say hello to her. Unexpectedly, those ignorant eyes just glanced at him, and then continued to look.

Open account book.

Lin Haoran saw that the woman ignored him, then shrugged and walked away, thinking that this woman seemed a little heartless and had completely forgotten about him in the blink of an eye.

But he had only taken a few steps when an "Ah!" came from behind, and then there was the sound of a chair moving. Nie Yunzhu said happily: "Master, are you back?"

Lin Haoran turned around, saw that pretty face full of excitement, and couldn't help but spread his hands towards her. This woman was too late to notice. And she seemed to realize what had just happened, and her face suddenly turned red.

Half of the restaurant is now positioned as a scholar's market, so it has been greatly affected by the county examination. The whole restaurant looks empty. There used to be a dustpan for cooking at the door, but due to the low price of Fugui Restaurant, Nie Yunzhu also asked Xiao Liu to withdraw

return.

Nie Yunzhu already regarded Lin Haoran as the boss of the restaurant, so he told him the situation in the restaurant today, and also talked about the dustpan and cooking: "Sir, I did the math. If we change the first prize to a lamb, every day

The cost of a dustpan and cooking meal also dropped to seven cents, so we still made some money, but not much."

"We can't lower the price, and we don't have to lower the price!" Lin Haoran shook his head and said to Xiaoliu who came over: "Xiaoliu, take out the dustpan and cooker and put it out! But if someone wants to buy it, just tell him Fugui Restaurant

It's cheaper over there...forget it, I'll write a piece of paper and you can just hang it outside."

Nie Yunzhu turned to look at Lin Haoran, but he didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd. Xiao Liu said directly: "Sir, we can't sell even one piece of it!"

"I just have to be unable to sell it!" Lin Haoran's mouth curled up slightly, and he found a pen and paper to write a warm reminder.

Nie Yunzhu was helping with grinding at the table and echoed beside him: "Actually, it doesn't matter if Dustpan Cooker is not sold. Nowadays, pastries are also very profitable!"

"You really don't plan to open a restaurant!" Lin Haoran spread out the piece of paper and looked at her with a smile.

Nie Yunzhu sighed faintly: "This restaurant business can't be done. Now the Dongshi market won't sell us ingredients at all, and I don't have that much capital!"

"It's a good thing you met me, otherwise you might not be able to open this restaurant!" Lin Haoran splashed ink and boasted proudly as he wrote.

Nie Yunzhu's eyes brightened slightly: "Young master, do you have any ideas?"

"There is a way, but... By the way, I asked you to collect information about our county's cooks last night. How did you do it? Otherwise, even if I help you with the ingredients, I can't do anything without a cook. I don't have time.

Let me help you cook!" Lin Haoran said half of his words, and then moved on to another matter.

Nie Yunzhu pursed his lips and said with a hint of resentment: "How could it be so fast!"

At Fugui Restaurant, flowers bloom and diners come and go.

Chen Yuanwai came to the restaurant as usual, but his face was gloomy, as if someone owed him a few hundred taels and would not pay back. After entering the door, he went directly to the counter to check the account.

Snap!

As soon as the account book was opened, he slammed the account book on the table, angrily pointed at the tall shopkeeper who was laughing beside him and cursed: "Stupid pig, who asked you to sell dustpans and cook outside?"

"Master, aren't I sharing your worries?" The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly, and then lowered his voice a little smugly: "You don't know, you can't sell even a single dustpan or cooker over there today!"

"They can't sell any of them! But come and see how much food and wine the restaurant sold today?" Chen Yuanwai picked up the account book on the table and asked angrily, pointing to today's income column.

"Master, today the first county examination is held. The scholars have all gone to take the exam. They will come to eat and drink later!" The shopkeeper was afraid that he would forget today's day, so he explained seriously.

Chen Yuanwai raised the account book in his hand and wanted to throw it at his face. He cursed excitedly: "County exam! County exam! The whole people of Shicheng have taken it for reference. Are you a pig?"

"I..." The shopkeeper was a little confused. It's hard to believe that his good intentions actually led to bad things.

Chen Yuanwai looked at him and yelled angrily: "Take the things out right away!"

Seeing that the master was really angry, the shopkeeper hurriedly ran out, ignoring the large crowd of people surrounding him, and arbitrarily moved the stall back.

Chen Yuanwai slammed the account book back on the table. He never imagined that this brother-in-law would be so stupid.

This method can certainly suppress half of the restaurant and cause half of the restaurant to lose the income from dustpan cooking, but what about him? Not only did he not make money from the dustpan cooking, it also caused the restaurant's business to suffer huge losses.

Others may be able to plagiarize this idea, but they, Fugui Restaurant, absolutely cannot. Compared to the huge profits of the restaurant, the income from the dustpan and cooking is simply insignificant.

Why!

It took Chen Yuanwai a long time to swallow the bad breath in his heart, but he couldn't help but sigh secretly when he opened his account book and saw the marketing situation of the drinks. He thought that there would be more reference scholars in this class, and the restaurant's income would increase, but it became worse.

Sunset.

I have to admit, I underestimated that scholar, he did have two brushes.

But he always believed that as long as their kitchen couldn't cook, even if the scholar was full of skills, it would be impossible to bring the restaurant back to life!

Mr. Chen walked out of the restaurant with the support of the thin butler. Just as he was about to get into the sedan, he suddenly asked the shopkeeper's brother-in-law: "Have you invited the cook from Penglai Inn?"

"I have already tripled his salary according to your wishes. His eyelids twitched at that time. He must have been excited. But this man's temper is as stubborn as a cow. It will probably take some time to turn around.

Come!" the shopkeeper replied hurriedly, and then said with a proud smile: "That Penglai Inn has been burned to charcoal. If he doesn't come, where will we go? And which restaurant can afford us such a high salary?

?”

If you ask a native of Shicheng who is the best chef in Shicheng County, nine out of ten people will choose Liu Baozi. After Liu Baozi was the royal chef of the imperial dynasty, he has a unique skill in cooking ducks. Everyone who has eaten the ducks he cooked will praise him.

Chen Yuanwai wanted to recruit him for a long time, but Liu Baozi had a very stubborn temper and refused to accept his money temptation at all. And because the person he sent said some harsh words, he beat him back.

, this incident later triggered a small armed fight, and Liang Zi formed a relationship.

Now seeing Peng Lai's Inn being burned down, Chen Yuanwai's thoughts became active again and he wanted to invite him to his family's restaurant.

The thin butler seemed to suddenly think of something, so he stepped forward and whispered: "Master, Nie Yunzhu is asking about the cook today. I'm afraid she will also ask for the cook!"

"You don't think that Liu Baozi will be poached by her, do you? Not to mention whether her restaurant can be opened, can she afford Liu Baozi's monthly salary?" The shopkeeper sneered, a bit sarcastically.

Chen Yuanwai thought seriously for a moment, then shook his head firmly.

Although Liu Baozi once rejected his money temptation, it was not that he was not greedy for money. In fact, this man regarded money as his life. The reason why he could not poach him was because the shopkeeper of Penglai Inn was very kind to his family. Just for the sake of solemnity, he still warned him

I checked my brother-in-law and asked him to step up the introduction of Liu Baozi, especially to prevent half of the restaurant from getting in first.

If the matter is urgent, you can also increase the salary four times, five times, or even six times. In short, this person will definitely not be able to get half a restaurant. In short, he will not give half a restaurant any hope of survival.
