By the way, yesterday they saw that there were only twenty seats in the book club, so they thought of coming earlier today, otherwise... they might have to stand there for an hour or two.
"Dear gentlemen, today...we won't be talking at the table here!"
Hearing that these talents were here to determine their positions, Zhao Hai told the truth.
"Ah? You don't know how to give lectures? Why?"
"That's right! Li Langjun also made it clear yesterday that he would continue to lecture at noon today, why didn't he lecture again?"
"How can Mr. Li Langjun break his word!"
The scholars were anxious about the plot of yesterday's Journey to the West, and immediately started talking about it.
"Everyone, please be patient. In order to give you a better experience, my husband will give a lecture today at the Yibo Building in Nanshi. There are more seats there... If you, sir,
If you are interested, you can go to the restaurant to make a reservation first!”
Zhao Hai signaled everyone not to be anxious and explained.
Although he did not go to Yibo Building, since it is a restaurant, there must be many more places than here.
"Yibo Building in Nanshi? Doesn't it mean that as long as I reserve a seat, I can drink and listen to it?"
After regaining consciousness, many scholars' eyes lit up.
Although there was a seat here yesterday, there was not even a cup of tea on the way. If there was tea, water, and wine over there and I could listen to Journey to the West, The Legend of Shie, it would be a great thing in life.
"That's how it should be!"
Zhao Hai responded.
The conditions in the restaurant are definitely better than those in the book club.
"By the way, Xiaolangjiu... Now that the book club has moved to Yibo Building in Nanshi, will Li Langjun still sell copies of the subsequent stories?"
Among the crowd, a scholar who looked very shrewd asked again.
"Don't worry, Langjun, Langjun will still sell the subsequent copies!"
Zhao Hai nodded.
Last night, the two masters and servants worked hard on the pile of old manuscripts for half a night, sorting out a lot of blank white linen papers, and copied a lot of the planned plot.
"That's good! That's good!"
After getting the answer and asking the question, the scholar's face was filled with joy and he subconsciously glanced at his companions.
It is said that yesterday he spent ten cents to grab the follow-up copy. After reading it, he saw many literati and scholars next to him and sighed with regret. Then he said that as long as the other party was willing to pay two cents, he could watch it, but after reading it, he had to
return.
Not to mention, this method is quite good.
Later in the evening, more than a dozen people borrowed the manuscript.
In the end, in addition to the ten coins for buying the follow-up manuscripts, he actually made more than ten coins. Seeing that he could still make money, he thought that he must buy a few more follow-up copies today.
Of course, he also knew that it was unrealistic to buy the subsequent copies from Li Mo at once, otherwise he might make more money by buying them all.
"Then Xiaolangjiu is busy first, I'll go to Yibo Restaurant first."
After a pause, the scholars no longer hesitated after receiving the reply, and turned around to leave. They were really afraid that they would be late and not have a seat. Li Mo's lectures in Nanshi and West Market actually did not matter to them.
Big difference.
"Gentlemen, please go first!"
Seeing this, Zhao Hai felt certain in his heart and made a gesture of invitation.
It's still early before noon... As long as we promote it later, today's income should be guaranteed.
.......
At the same time, Nanshi, Yibo Building,
Li Mo and Xue Song had already met together, still holding the land deed of Yibo Building in their hands. In front of them stood the original waiter and cook of Yibo Building, but Qin Fang was not there.
"Although Qin Langjun left the restaurant to us, we can't benefit from it in vain. Brother Xue can value the restaurant in cash. When Qin Langjun returns to Dongdu one day, he must give the money to him!"
After a moment of silence, Li Mo said.
Just now Xue Song had told Qin Fang's decision and what happened last night in detail. Qin Fang had left the city early this morning for the four counties of Anxi and could not meet him.
But now that it's a foregone conclusion, let's find a way to run this restaurant well and repay the kindness later.
Although Yibo Building is a bit dilapidated, the layout inside is acceptable. The first floor is very large. A desk can be placed in the front hall to teach books, and at least fifty places can be reserved for listening. The second and third floors are private rooms.
, diners can go above and it won’t be affected.
"Yes, Langjun!"
Xue Song nodded heavily. In fact, this was what he was thinking.
"You guys introduce yourselves. From now on, you will obey your husband's instructions on everything. By the way, you can also report the monthly payment my brother gives you."
After saying this, Xue Song looked at the waiters again.
These people are all Qin Fang's former team members. They have been with him for a long time and can be trusted.
"Mr. Lang, the younger one's name is Erhou, and he's a clerk in the store! His monthly salary is fifty cents."
As soon as Xue Song finished speaking, the waiter was the first to step forward and report to his family.
Regarding the new boss, the servants actually had no resistance but had a little more expectation. After all, the restaurant was almost unsustainable, and the new boss might have other means to bring the restaurant back to life.
During the banquet last night, they also heard that Xue Song was a more powerful master than Qin Langjun, and it must have some tricks to make such a master serve as an attendant.
"Two monkeys?"
Li Mo nodded.
The monthly payment of fifty cents is not high. At first, he gave Zhao Hai one hundred cents per month.
"Mr. Lang, my name is Duan Chong. I am the head chef of the restaurant. My monthly salary is 500 Wen. I know how to do some tricks on weekdays. If Lang Jun has anything else to do, please feel free to ask me."
After the two monkeys said this, the man dressed as a chef next to him spoke immediately.
"Um!"
"Mr. Lang, my name is Miao Fei. He is the second chef of the restaurant and his monthly income is three hundred coins."
"Mr. Lang, my name is Lu Fang. He is the accountant of the restaurant! His monthly salary is five hundred Wen."
Immediately afterwards, the remaining two also reported their names.
"Okay, since that's the case, let's work together and live together from now on, I'm Li Mo!"
Li Mo nodded and said.
"Yes, Langjun!"
Everyone saluted together again.
"By the way, I came here today and saw that the restaurant was a little dilapidated, but what problems did the business encounter?"
After a pause, Li Mo asked casually.
Although the restaurant may focus on lectures, the business of the restaurant cannot be left behind. It would be a waste if the private rooms on the second and third floors remain idle.
My goal is to make money as quickly as possible and then cultivate my own power in order to cope with the Anshi Rebellion in the future. I don't necessarily have to stick to the business of the book club.
"Langjun...Actually, there is nothing wrong with Brother Duan's cooking skills, it's just...Qin Langjun..."
Hearing this, the two monkeys wanted to speak but stopped.
"Lang Jun, it's like this... My brother is not good at business. Firstly, he likes to make friends with people in the world, and many of them don't charge for drinks. Secondly, my brother has a bit of a bad temper and has offended many diners...
