"It's strange, why is this pancreatic effect so good?" Tian Rong was amazed, "Your Highness, what secret recipe did you get? If the decontamination effect is always so good, it will definitely be hard to get a fortune!"

"The secret recipe is of course kept secret." Liu Mingqi laughed, "Old Tian, ​​you can also wash it and try it and feel it yourself."

"good!"

They are all family members, and Tian Rong was not very polite, so he did it according to Dazhu's method just now.

When he took out his hands in the darker sewage, he looked like a pair of white hands that were almost unaware of them.

After looking around, Tian Rong suddenly smiled a little stupidly.

"Not only do you have a good soap to wash your hands, but also to take a shower and face." Liu Mingqi said slowly, "Old Tian, ​​how much do you think we can sell such a good thing?"

"Sell!?"

Tian Rong was shocked, then nodded thoughtfully, "I have spent so much money and thoughts to make it. I must sell it to make money."

The royal nobles of the Dakang Dynasty were never ashamed of doing business because they could do business.

The same is true for Prince Yu’s Mansion.

Since you can make money, why not?

After a pause, Tian Rong tried to compete, "Then let's sell... one dollar for each silver?"

The prices of Dakang Dynasty were not high, and the purchasing power of silver was very high. One penny of silver could buy fifty or sixty eggs in the capital.

Tian Rong, who participated in the production throughout the whole process, estimated that one penny was already very profitable, and his profit was about five times.

"Old Tian, ​​you should be more courageous." Liu Mingqi said with regret that he was not good at making a steel, "What is the cost of raw materials? The most important thing is my secret recipe! The secret recipe is worth a thousand gold!"

"Then how much do we sell?" Tian Rong said tentatively.

"One or two silver dollars."

Tian Rong's eyes widened, "My Highness! One tael of silver can be used to entertain three or five friends at a good banquet in the restaurant outside our city. How could anyone be willing to spend so much money to buy a piece of pancreas?"

"It's not pancreatic. Remember to explain when you sell it. It's called soap." Liu Mingqi said, "Old Tian, ​​Dazhu, you guys say it yourself, see if the decontamination effect is good?"

"good!"

"very good!"

The two answered one after another.

"But this is too expensive, I'm afraid others can't bear to let it go!" Tian Rong said with a wry smile.

"What are we afraid of? We don't sell it to the common people. We are all sold to rich people, to nobles and high-ranking officials." Liu Mingqi smiled and said, "Old Tian, ​​I tell you, you... just do this, do you understand?"

"ah?"

Tian Rong frowned even more, "No, Your Highness, we are so sorry for you..."

"I can't bear to let my child go to trap a wolf, and I don't let others see the effect. How can I expect a good price to sell?" Liu Mingqi didn't say much to him, "Come on, hurry up and start tomorrow! Remember, if someone wants to buy it, you must tell them that each person is limited to only purchase five yuan, and no more than one yuan!"

"Your Highness, who can buy it? Why don't we sell it yet? Isn't it better if you sell it the more you sell it?" Tian Rong retorted.

"You do what I said!" Liu Mingqi waved, "If tomorrow does not work, come and find me again!"

"Your Highness...well, I'll go sell it tomorrow!"

Tian Rong originally wanted to say something, but seeing that Liu Mingqi had closed her eyes and rested, she had to agree.

But to be honest, the butler has no idea about tomorrow's soap selling!

...

The next morning, butler Tian Da came to the most prosperous Imperial Street in the capital.

Imperial Street is five hundred steps wide and has a length of more than thirty miles. It is the central axis of the north-south direction of the capital.

It starts from Xuande Gate of the Imperial City, passes through Zhuque Gate of the inner city, and finally extends to Nanxun Gate of the outer city. There are more than 4,000 shops on both sides of the road alone. On weekdays, there are many cars and horses, and there are even more pedestrians.

Here, about 300 meters away from Daxiangguo Temple, there is a 3-story restaurant called "Miaoweilou", which is the transaction of Prince Yu's Mansion.

There are five restaurants in Prince Yu’s Mansion, all of which are called Miaoweilou, but only this one is in the capital, and the rest are located in towns within a radius of thirty miles outside the capital.

Every year, the five Miaowei Buildings earn several thousand taels of silver, and 30% of them are brought by this company.

Although Yu Street is lively, if the location is different, the value is still very different.

There is a huge square at the entrance of Daxiangguo Temple, 300 meters away from Miaowei Tower. There are thousands of vendors carrying loads and pushing cars, and at least tens of thousands of tourists and incense burners. It is crowded and bustling.

A mid-range restaurant like Miaoweilou is on the way to go, so the business is naturally very good.

In Miaowei Building in the capital, if you want to buy a table with eight meats and two vegetables and two pots of turbid wine, you will need at least two taels of silver.

If you have high requirements, they can do it at a table of 10 taels and 1 table.

There are many merchants, dealers, officials from all over the country, scientific students, etc., who have strong consumption power, but it is impossible to eat and drink spicy food every day.

Therefore, mid-range restaurants like Miaoweilou are the most suitable for them to serve as general business receptions or places for small gatherings between friends.

The shopkeeper of Miaowei Building in Beijing is called Zhanshu. He is 43 years old this year and is also the one who has given birth to a child from his mother's family by Princess Yu.

He was calling out to work in the front and back kitchens, and suddenly he was surprised to see Tian Rong: "Old Tian, ​​what are you doing? Is there anything?"

Both of them grew up together. Although Tian Rong has become the butler, Zhan Shu didn't respect him much.

Tian Rong himself had no airs and smiled, "I have nothing to do with you, you should be busy!"

Looking at the two servants behind him holding big boxes, Zhan Shu felt strange, "Do you say that, still keep it secret from me?"

"This is what the prince ordered, you will know later." Tian Rong still avoided answering.

When he heard that it was something Liu Mingqi was going to do, Zhanshu suddenly lost interest.

In his impression, Liu Mingqi is still the boy who is simple-minded and likes to fight and cause trouble, and is far from the ability to respect people.

The ordinary people in the Dakang Dynasty, unless they are from remote areas and live too poor, usually eat three meals, and of course, morning and dinner will be easier.

Three meals a day are even more abundant in the capital.

In street stalls and shops, breakfast tofu brain, soy milk and fried dough sticks, buns and steamed buns, sesame cakes, mutton soup, etc., everything is available.

A cheaper 35 pm can make you fill your stomach. If you want to eat better, you will be more than ten pm.

It is relatively more practical to eat lunch, and the principle is to eat more and eat enough. During this period of time, social engagements are mainly about eating and drinking.

It’s not like at night, eating is the main thing, entertainment is the main thing.

The business of the four buildings and the other hundreds of flower buildings of all sizes are very good.

At that time, the dinner party was just three or five taels of silver, and the girls’ tea and wine money were not enough. Even if you don’t do anything, ten taels of silver would be considered a small amount of money.

If you go to the four buildings, it would be easy to spend hundreds or eighty taels a night, and you would have spent thousands of taels a night at most.

From this we can see that even if the children of the government and the royal family pay themselves, they will definitely not go to the top flower building too many times.

Usually when someone pays to treat them and wants to ask them to do something, there will be a scene of being generous.

Of course, the royal family members have no influence on any government affairs because they have no influence on the court, so almost no one invites them.

This has to be said to be a tragedy of being a descendant of the royal family.

...

When the exhibition book and people finished packing, it was already noon.

This is also the time when regular customers come to visit one after another.

Boss Zhang is one of them. He is a businessman and needs social engagements. However, it does not involve high-ranking officials. Usually, the specific handling of the sixth and seventh ranks is enough.

So he always chose Miaoweilou to entertain the small officials from various yamen.

A table of three or five taels of silver can make you eat and drink well.

It’s also because it’s a prince’s transaction, it won’t make people feel that the price is down, which is the best of both worlds.

Before he even entered the door, Boss Zhang started shouting, "Lao Zhan, is my private room ready? Today I have to...uh!"

Boss Zhang was talking, and a middle-aged man blocked him head-on.

After all, he was a businessman. Boss Zhang was surprised and not afraid.

"Hello, boss." Tian Rong bowed and smiled, "Please come here."

He pointed to the side of the door, and Boss Zhang saw a wooden shelf with a basin on it.

There was also a servant next to him, holding a wooden box, which seemed to be something in it; the other servant was holding a dry towel.

"What?" Boss Zhang was a little funny, "I, a slutty man, have to wash up after entering the door?"

"That's not what it means." Tian Rong said, "We have recently made a new soap that can remove dirt very well in Prince Yu's mansion. Because Miaoweilou is its own industry, we will use it for you to use it for free, and it's better to compare it with the pancreas you used before."

"Tsk, I don't need pancreas at home. Such expensive things, where is there any cheaper wood ash?" Boss Zhang said as he walked towards the wooden shelf.

After all, I am a businessman, and I am brave and like to take advantage of it. When I heard that it is free, I immediately felt that it is useless.

This is also the promotion trick that Liu Mingqi told Tian Rong yesterday. All customers who come to the store use it for free, and they want to use it several times.

Tian Rong immediately disagreed. If this is open, how much soap will cost a day?

And they may not necessarily buy it after using it. If they use it for free and don’t buy it, wouldn’t that be a loss?
