Lu Yao has been busy writing new chapters of novels for Han Yunyu and Cao Han all night. Of course, the mood of writing novel chapters for them is completely different. Now Lu Yao only needs to see these three chapters of "The Story of the Stone"
I just feel like I have to do a routine, and basically now Lu Yao is too lazy to revise the following chapters because of his change in mentality, so he just copies the original chapters. In comparison, Lu Yao prefers
Write your own original novel for Cao Han.
After talking to Lu Yao, Tangxi mainly did one thing, and that was to go to Zhao Hu's house again. Zhao Hu was a little confused, could there be any changes in the hot pot ingredients tomorrow? But Tangxi came
After arriving at the Zhao Mansion, he directly stated that the trip was for Yang Tao, which surprised Zhao Hu because Yang Tao was not in the mansion at the time, so Zhao Hu sent someone to invite Yang Tao to the mansion.
Yang Tao was currently in the inn discussing with the Tigers players the tactical arrangements for the first round match against Fanlou. However, since it was Zhao Hu who summoned him, Yang Tao obediently came to Fuzhong. But when he saw Tangxi’s
At that time, he felt a little surprised. Then, Tangxi explained his purpose to Yang Tao and also sent an invitation to the party tomorrow night. Yang Tao was a little hesitant, but then he thought about it, since Lu Yao had sent an invitation to him, no matter what
No matter what, I have to give Zhao Hu a face, so I must go. Moreover, there is still a big gap between the Lu Yao that Yang Tao saw a few days ago and the Lu Yao that Pan Wen and Chen Chen described.
I don’t admit that Yang Tao’s bad impression of Lu Yao actually has a lot to do with Pan Wen bragging about Lu Yao’s ability in front of him every day. However, hearing is believing and seeing is believing, on the one hand, it is to give Zhao
Hu wanted to save face, but Yang Tao also wanted to get in touch with Lu Yao himself to see what kind of person he was. What's more, since it was a party, Lu Yao must have something to discuss with him.
After some thought, Yang Tao finally agreed to Tang Xi's request. Zhao Hu on the side was not surprised that Lu Yao invited Yang Tao. He felt that he should discuss matters related to the Cuju competition with Yang Tao, because Lu Yao had told Tang Xi that in
Before everything is settled, don't tell Zhao Hu that Lu Yao wants Yang Tao to go to the hotpot restaurant.
After everything was arranged, Tangxi returned to his mansion to rest.
So early the next morning, Tangxi calculated the time and drove Lu Yao out of the inner city in a carriage. There were actually quite a lot of things that Lu Yao had to do today. The first thing to do was to talk to Lao Chen about the three things he wanted to do in the morning.
Meeting with friends who work in the food court, of course, Lu Yao himself also had to do some screening. After confirming that there were no problems, he naturally handed over the recipe of the food directly to them. For this reason, Tangxi had already prepared the necessary ingredients
The ingredients were all put on the carriage. Then, in the evening, Lu Yao made an appointment with Zhang Maocai and Yang Tao to taste hot pot in Jiuzhongxian. On the one hand, it was to reassure Zhang Maocai about the taste of hot pot. On the other hand, he also wanted to confirm the hot pot.
The specific location of the store. As for Yang Tao, Tangxi didn't know what Lu Yao wanted to ask him to do.
The carriage was already filled with many things. These were the ingredients for the delicacies that Lu Yao would teach them to cook when he saw them soon.
In fact, just a few days ago, Lu Yao thought that this period of time would be a rare rest time for him.
Just after the warm-up match of the New Cuju Competition ended, there was still a week before the official competition. Lu Yao could actually rest at home for a while, and then prepare for the palace examination and the official competition. Because the eight teams of the New Cuju Competition
There is nothing in the team that Lu Yao needs to worry about anymore, and the imperial examination is more like a modern interview process than the previous exams, so Lu Yao does not need to make any preparations. In these seven days,
This means that besides taking care of bank matters, Lu Yao has a lot of time to rest.
But after all, Lu Yao is a person who can't take time off, and whenever he has a new idea, he has to put it into practice. Of course, this is inseparable from Lu Yao's plan to do some practical things for the people.
Relationship. Thus, the two industries of food street and hot pot restaurant were born. Once he had a new idea, Lu Yao knew that he would never be free. No, from today on, Lu Yao has to do this again.
The two industries began to be busy. Although in the past few days, whether they found Lao Chen to discuss, established a cooperative relationship with Zhang Maocai, or went to Zhao Hu, they were all working on the food court and hot pot restaurant.
The industry is making preparations. But all of this has to wait until Emperor Zhao Zhen really agrees with Lu Yao's idea yesterday before he can continue to complete the rest of the work. Everything has just begun.
The carriage stopped, and as soon as Lu Yao got out of the car, he saw many people gathered near the old Chen's house. Then, Tangxi first arrived at the door of the residence, opened the door, and then asked a few people to follow him back to the carriage. When these people saw
Lu Yao all bowed and saluted. Lu Yao looked carefully and found out that these people were the craftsmen who were responsible for building his bank before. Because Lu Yao was very satisfied with the construction of the bank, the renovation of Lao Chen's house was also done.
So I left it all to them. Because it was a renovation, it would definitely take much faster time than building a bank. Therefore, Lu Yao had actually told Tang Xi before to select two reliable craftsmen from among them.
People, let them participate in the construction of the hot pot restaurant later.
Tangxi took these people and moved all the needed ingredients to the old house of Lao Chen's family.
Lu Yao continued to walk forward. If nothing else happened, the other people present should be what Lao Chen said were reliable and could be people in the food court. Lu Yao could see from their positions that
Lao Chen did indeed find three families, and just like Lao Chen’s family, each family did not come to learn the art alone, which is normal. When the food court really started to open, each family basically needed
One stayed in the same place as the base for production, while the other was responsible for selling at the food street. As for the transportation link, Lu Yao had already said hello to Zhao Hu before and found several comparisons.
Reliable people who are familiar with the roads in the outer city. In addition to being responsible for the supply of ingredients for hot pot restaurants, this food street
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Zhao Hu also needs someone to come to Lu Yao to do the daily transportation work.
Judging from the age, these people are about the same age as Lao Chen. From their faces and expressions, Lu Yao can only see two words, that is simplicity. Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. This person Lao Chen found
The three families are all honest people, and with Lao Chen as a guarantee, it shouldn't be a problem to entrust them with the method of cooking delicious food.
Lu Yao came to the door of Lao Chen's residence, and Lao Chen and Chen's mother immediately greeted him. Lu Yao saw that Chen Chen was not there, and Lao Chen explained that Chen Chen was still busy training the grassroots team today. After all, it was not until the official game date.
As it got closer, Chen Chen really didn't want his team to be eliminated in the first round, not to mention that the grassroots team and the Huangtian team had already been placed in the first game, so Lu Yao understood very well that Chen Chen was not present today.
Later, Lao Chen introduced the three families he had found to Lu Yao one by one. Lu Yao listened carefully to Lao Chen's introduction, and would also call these people individually to ask about their financial situation. Sure enough, they all came from poor backgrounds.
, I want to find something to do, but some of them are because of their age, and some of them cannot do too heavy physical work, so now these three families are basically poor people living in the outer city.
After understanding the situation, Lu Yao had a basic trust in them. Then, he took out the contract document that he had given to Lao Chen before. The content was basically the same. Lao Chen had already signed a contract with Lu Yao before.
After passing the contract, these three families seemed to have great trust in Lao Chen. Once they heard that he had signed it, they didn't read the contract at all and took out the pen and ink prepared by Lu Yao to sign it.
contract.
Then, Lu Yao called them all to the old house one by one for individual teaching. After all, each snack and delicacy is made differently, and one family can only learn one kind of delicacy, so Lu Yao decided to go in one by one, and teach them one by one.
A teacher. Tangxi, who had been observing the old house for a while, also led the craftsmen out of the house while Lu Yao was teaching, and discussed with Lao Chen how to renovate the old house. Lao Chen said that since it is
To provide cooking space for four families, it is better to build a second floor on the basis of the current house, so that there are two floors, and each floor provides space for two families to prepare and make delicious food.
Tangxi asked the craftsmen for their suggestions. The craftsmen said that although this house is an old one, it still hasn’t collapsed after so many years, which means that the foundation of the house is still good and can be renovated. Tangxi also thinks that the four stoves
It’s really not good to put them all on the first floor, so I initially agreed to the craftsmen’s plan. Of course, the two senior craftsmen who were selected by Tangxi in advance to design the hot pot restaurant in the future have also been waiting for their arrangements.
.
It took Lu Yao an hour to teach the three households how to make their own delicacies. Lao Chen also had the opportunity to taste the three kinds of delicacies made by Lu Yao. The cost of each kind is very low, and they can be given to all of them.
Everyone was very grateful to Lu Yao for giving him the opportunity to make money.
After teaching everyone how to cook delicious food, Lu Yao also called all four families together, including Lao Chen, after they all signed the contract, and said: "Everyone, there is one more thing that I can tell you today.
, because this matter was decided after I entered the palace yesterday."
What Lu Yao said was naturally what he discussed with Zhao Zhen after entering the palace yesterday. After all, everything Lu Yao did before was part of preparation work. After discussing with Zhao Zhen yesterday, and after the emperor agreed, this food street will
It officially became a business jointly conducted by Lu Yao, the common people, and the royal family.
When they first heard Lu Yao say this, everyone was very happy. Not only Lao Chen, but also the other three families, when they were in the outer city, they also thought about setting up a stall and doing some small business. But
However, due to the officials' rectification and the high so-called benefit fees, they had no choice but to give up in the end. Therefore, when Lu Yao said that this food street will be a legitimate royal business from now on, everyone's joy can be said to be beyond words.
This is equivalent to issuing a royal operating license to themselves. With the emperor's support, at least the safety of the stalls should be guaranteed from now on. Moreover, no one will come to ask them to pay any favors.
However, these people are about the same age as Lao Chen. They know that there is no free lunch in the world. Even if Lao Chen made Lu Yao talk about it, they still couldn't believe it when they learned that Lu Yao didn't charge any fees. Later, they couldn't believe it.
, It was not until Lao Chen showed the terms written in black and white on the contract he signed with Lu Yao that they believed that Mr. Lu Yao was really doing something for them.
These people were so simple. When they learned that Lu Yao really did not intend to charge them any fees, they felt a little sorry. Lao Chen was the first to say at that time that he had already decided that if he cooked delicious food in the future
From the project on the street, 10% of the income will be given to Lu Yao every month. Although Lu Yao has reached the point of being wealthy and may not look down on his own money, Lao Chen just wants to have peace of mind and also wants to give it to other people.
People prove that they are not the kind of people who only appreciate money without repaying kindness.
Lao Chen's words moved his three friends very much. It could also be said to be an enlightenment. The three of them immediately made the same decision as Lao Chen, saying that if they really joined the food street project
, 10% of the income will be given to Lu Yao every month, which is regarded as paying tuition.
However, Lu Yao's next words made these people silent for a while. Lu Yao said that since this business has become a royal business, it is natural to abide by the royal rules. When everyone opened a stall to do business before,
Various fees are always levied by officials, and this time, the royal family also has to charge a certain stall fee every month. However, the charging standards are set by the emperor himself and are fixed every month.
Lu Yao's people would collect it from them regularly every month and then transfer it to the emperor.
Everyone's expressions were different, but since it was a royal transaction, they thought it was acceptable to give some to the emperor. Lao Chen was very open-minded about this, and since the rent was handed over to Lord Lu Yao's men,
hand, land
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Master Yao must be trustworthy.
However, the rent price made everyone curious, and when Lao Chen asked if he still had to pay money to the royal family every month, Lu Yao nodded.
Obviously, everyone accepts the payment of rent to the royal family, and the fact that the royal family takes a portion of the share every month, but what the price is is what they are more concerned about. From the process of learning the art just now, they have learned that this
The cost of making gourmet food is very low, but when there is no actual business, they don't know how much their income will be this month, so they are a little afraid of the standards that Zhao Zhen will give them.
Later, Lu Yao did not answer them directly, and then asked Tangxi to hand over the other four manuscripts to them one by one for them to study on their own.
The most critical difference between this manuscript and the one Lu Yao just gave them is that it concerns Party A and Party B. The contract just now was signed by everyone and Lu Yao. In addition to the business nature, there are also some confidentiality agreements.
It means. But the document that everyone is holding now represents the agreement signed by each of them with the royal family.
These common people were instantly distrustful of the manuscripts in their hands, which is understandable. After all, they had been bullied by officials countless times before. Lao Chen took the manuscript and read it again and again, then turned to look at Lu Yao,
Said: "Sir Xiao Lu, our group of people are not very educated and we are not good at talking about words. Please explain it to us."
Lu Yao nodded and said: "Okay, then I will explain it to everyone. In fact, I already know from everyone's expressions just now. You must think that the emperor will ask you to submit to the superiors in the name of letting you open a food court.
Money, right."
No one answered, but their expressions said everything.
Lu Yao continued: "Actually, think about it, everyone, we set up stalls before, which can be said to be unfair. Of course, it is precisely because of this that those corrupt officials dare to blatantly ask for benefits from you. But
It’s different now, it’s just like being a soldier fighting a war. Now that we have a good reputation and are doing royal business, I think those people won’t bother you anymore.”
The other three households did not speak, but all looked at Lao Chen. Lao Chen had no choice but to say to Lu Yao: "Master Xiao Lu, we know what the emperor means. We build this food street, which is equivalent to saying
It’s because of the emperor’s protection. But, including me, we are still more concerned about the price issue.”
Lu Yao smiled and said: "That's why I asked you to read the contract document carefully. It's all written on it. That's right, the monthly stall rental is a constant amount of money. I know that for you now, this consistent amount
The money may be astronomical, but believe me, this money is really not much. Even if the rent is ten dollars, it is still worth it near the Bird's Nest Stadium. You are the only four families making delicious snacks, and no one can compete with you.
, it’s the only one, you can basically earn this rent in half a day, I can guarantee this. If you are really worried about the rent, I can help you pay the rent for the first three months.
"
A consistent amount of money is indeed not a small amount for these people now, but Zhao Zhen said yesterday that the benefits of this business will be immeasurable in the future, so this consistent amount of money is just a symbolic charge. After all, if
If you don't charge a penny, it's hard to guarantee whether any officials will interfere with it again. Now the royal family has directly made the rent public. In this way, the low-priced and consistent rent can have a great deterrent effect.
The other three families still thought that they always had a lot of money, but the shrewd old Chen had already understood the reason, and when Chen Chen returned home last night, he had already told him about this food court.
Chen Chen said that there was no business that Lu Yao did personally that was not profitable, so he asked Lao Chen to just agree to give some of it to the royal family. Lao Chen now trusts Chen Chen very much.
After all, this boy is about to become Lu Yao's butler. What's more, with this amount of money, Lao Chen feels that the price is very reasonable.
Under his persuasion, everyone accepted the rent price, but they were more concerned about the so-called payment fees than the rent, which was the money that had to be paid to the royal family every month.
Lu Yao naturally knew that this was what everyone was most concerned about, so he took the manuscript that had just been handed over to him from Lao Chen, pointed at one of it, and said: "It is very clearly written here. What you call what the emperor gave you is
The amount of money to be handed over is 10% of the monthly income.”
"10%?" Everyone felt incredible about the price given by Lu Yao, the emperor. They all started to pick up the manuscript and read it carefully. Yes, what was written above was indeed 10%.
This price is a bit too low. The expressions on everyone's faces said it all. Even Lao Chen didn't think about it. He thought that the emperor would take at least 30% of the profit. This 10% would be shared with them privately.
It was agreed that the money to be given to Lu Yao would be the same amount.
Lu Yao said: "You must think that 10% is a very small amount of money. In fact, when you actually start running the food street, you will find out how much income you will make every month. The emperor will take 10% from each of your households."
The total cost is a lot."
"It seems that the emperor really has no intention of deducting our income." One of the families said.
Everyone started talking. Since they had decided to give Lu Yao 10% of the benefits, why not give the extra 10% to the emperor? It was regarded as giving the emperor the benefits of protecting their legal business, and the rest
Eighty percent of the profit is still their own, and these people present can still calculate such a simple account. Lao Chen immediately took back his copy of the manuscript from Lu Yao and set an example, taking the lead in signing it.
When everyone saw it, they all expressed their agreement with the charging standards given by the emperor and signed the contract document.
At this point, the food street project was basically completed. Lu Yao then asked the craftsmen and agreed to their idea of expanding into a two-story building, and asked them to start work immediately, and they must be in time.
Complete the construction before the round starts.
