In the Song Dynasty, drinking was very popular, and the market for wine was vast. Wine shops, large and small, were dotted all over the place, from cities to rural areas.
What is a Zhengdian? A Zhendian is a hotel that has official authorization to make its own wine. It can also be said to be a large hotel with large scale, good business, sufficient wine reserves, and can meet the needs of a large number of people. I heard that in Kyoto
, A large restaurant can accommodate a thousand people eating together at the same time. Of course, there is definitely no restaurant of this size in a small place. This kind of restaurant is collectively called a Zhengdian.
On the other hand, smaller shops generally cannot produce their own liquor, so most of them sell liquor from regular shops. This kind of liquor is called a foot shop.
Without further ado, Zhang Dong has been doing a comparison survey in this small town in the past two days. The restaurant with the best business is called Chunfeng Restaurant, but the owner is a bit harsh. The second best restaurant is called Ruyi Restaurant, and the owner is kind-hearted.
, there is also room for discussion with the servants. Of course, these two are genuine shops with official authorization to brew their own wine. They only need to distribute 20/10 of the profit to the officials every year, and the rest is their own profit.
.
Before coming, Dongzhang had tidied up his whole body. The messy hair was no longer there, but was cleaned and tied up in a ponytail. Except for the clothes on his body, which were all in tatters, Dongzhang's whole body had become
He doesn't look like a beggar at all, more like a down-and-out kid from some poor family. His small appearance does have a fresh and sunny look.
After weighing it again and again, Dongzhang walked towards the Ruyi Restaurant in front of him, but as soon as he stepped into the door, he was pushed away by the waiter. Dongzhang felt anxious in his heart, but his face remained calm. He didn't panic even after being pushed, and he still
He said to the shopkeeper at the counter not far away with a solemn expression.
"Shopkeeper, I have something to discuss with you. It will be of great benefit to our Ruyi Building, and it won't take up too much of the shopkeeper's time. What do you think?"
The slightly fat shopkeeper at the counter was settling accounts at the front desk. Hearing the words at the door, he looked over in shock. At this moment, Dongzhang had actually been pushed to the door by the waiter, but as a new person who had traveled through the 21st century,
Young people, what does this job hunting scene mean? How can you get around the world if you are not thick-skinned?
Therefore, even though Dongzhang was pushed almost to the point of falling out of the door, and even though the waiter in the store was viciously attacking him with words, Dongzhang still didn't show any panic at all, and looked at the shopkeeper not far away calmly.
As the saying goes, with a smile on your face but a mother in your heart, you are talking about the current Dongzhang.
Just kidding, yours is not the only restaurant. This is the first one. There are countless other restaurants waiting for you to go to the interview. I'm so panicked.
The shopkeeper didn't know what was going on in Dongzhang's mind at this time, but he had a keen sense of business, and looking at Dongzhang's calm and composed appearance, he couldn't do anything false. He would not lose anything by delaying his efforts for a while, and listen.
After hearing what this boy had to say, after thinking about it, he stretched out his hand to stop the waiter and said:
"Oh? So, do you know how to turn stone into gold?"
After saying this, the person had already walked out from the counter, his words were somewhat teasing, and he was looking at Dong Zhang looking up and down in a joking manner.
At this time, the waiter had already stopped his hand and bowed to the shopkeeper, then stood behind the shopkeeper and stared at Dongzhang with an unkind expression.
Dongzhang, who breathed a sigh of relief, didn't take it seriously. If you are willing to talk, you can talk. Then he straightened his clothes and saluted the shopkeeper and said:
"I don't know if the shopkeeper still needs someone to do the accounting. I am not talented, so I dare not say that my calculations are the best, but the fastest and most accurate account must be a boy. If you don't believe it, the shopkeeper can give it a try. Whenever there is a problem
The boy who made the mistake of turning around and walking away will never complain."
"Can you read?"
The fat shopkeeper looked at the half-grown boy in front of him in surprise. He had no choice. In this era, the popularity of culture was not as high as in later generations. The illiteracy rate in towns and villages can be as high as over 90%. Most of the knowledge is held by scholars.
.
It’s not that there are no teachers, there are, but there is a threshold. You have to have something like a letter of invitation before someone will teach you. That is, you have to have a recommendation, a letter of recommendation, etc., before someone can teach you.
Therefore, in this era, it is a bit strange for a shopkeeper in this small town to be literate and still a half-grown boy.
"I can't say that I know them all, but I know the basics."
"Your family is from Shilin?"
"..."
Dongzhang just didn't answer, and the shopkeeper became even more surprised. The status of literati in this era was very high, and writing and writing were the most elegant things. This was a common understanding, so he said to the waiter behind him:
"Go get yesterday's ledger."
After saying that, he invited Dongzhang into a compartment in the back hall. Dongzhang didn't know what a courtyard meant for people who came in and out. Anyway, in his opinion, it was a big one. He looked around and followed the shopkeeper into the back room. As soon as he stood still, he
A waiter came in with a ledger.
"I'll give you an hour to calculate yesterday's profit."
After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper Fafu did not wait for Dongzhang's response, so he picked up the teacup handed over by the waiter and started to taste the tea. Dongzhang didn't care much and calmly took the account book, thinking:
It's time to show off the real technology. After flipping through it, Dongzhang knew the numbers in his mind. The numbers here are all expressed in Chinese, not the Arabic numerals used by later generations. Although there is a thick book, the actual recorded numbers are
I didn’t think as much as I thought, because all the words were in Chinese, and the area must be quite large. After reading it briefly, Dongzhang raised his eyes and looked at the shopkeeper, Fafu, and said:
"Shopkeeper, can I borrow some paper?"
Glancing at Dongzhang, the shopkeeper Fafu just casually nodded to the waiter beside him. After receiving the signal, the waiter ran to get ready.
After a while, the waiter in the store brought some paper and a pen. Dongzhang roughly drew a column on the paper. As he turned over the pages, one number after another appeared on the column. When they were all turned over, so
The numbers have already been arranged, just waiting to be summarized.
In just half a bowl of tea, Dongzhang had already calculated all the restaurant's income yesterday. After checking again and confirming that there were no omissions, Dongzhang raised his head and said to the fat shopkeeper who was sitting leisurely:
"Shopkeeper, I've got it figured out."
The shopkeeper, who was still dozing, was startled after hearing this. When he opened his eyes, he saw Dongzhang sitting on the stool opposite, looking at him confidently.
At first, the shopkeeper was a little surprised when he saw Dongzhang writing and drawing on the paper, but after looking at it for a long time, he found it boring, so he closed his eyes and went to sleep.
How long will it take for this kid to be healed?
This is not surprising. With such a thick account book, it takes at least an hour or even longer for the accountant to do the calculations. Everything can only be done by stupid methods.
And it took less than half an hour for Dongzhang to complete the calculation. How could the shopkeeper not be surprised? This time it was only so slow because Dongzhang looked awkward at some words, otherwise it would have been faster.
I was shocked in my heart, but in front of me, the shopkeeper was still unfazed and said, "Oh? How much was the restaurant's income yesterday?"
"Excluding the principal, the restaurant received a total of one hundred, seventeen, two, fifty-nine and six cents yesterday."
The shopkeeper would look at the daily expenses of the restaurant every day, so when Dongzhang said this number, the shopkeeper could not sit still, and then he sat up straight and asked Dongzhang one by one.
Of course, Dongzhang, who grew up under the red flag of the 21st century, also gave the answers one by one, and all of them were consistent with the numbers in the shopkeeper's mind, which made the shopkeeper even more happy.
This boy alone can match the speed of three or four accountants or even more. How can this not be gratifying? Then he said to Dongzhang with a smile:
"Would you like to do something for me?"
"my pleasure."
Dong Zhang smiled on his face
Just like that, as expected, Dongzhang settled down in this Ruyi Restaurant as he wished. After putting on new clothes and sleeping on a real bed, Dongzhang finally felt like a human being again and finally felt relieved.
One breath.
Dongzhang now earns as much as one or two silver coins per month, and he also works part-time to help the shopkeeper with personal finances from time to time. He also has a considerable income. During this period, Dongzhang also went to look for the old beggar who gave him steamed buns that day.
But he couldn't find it, which made everyone sigh and sigh.
More than a month passed like this, and Dongzhang, who had no worries about food and clothing, began to become more active again, thinking:
At this time, Li Mochou was still active, and the plot had probably just begun or even not yet started. He still had time to plan what he was going to get next, but he was poor in literature, rich in martial arts, and poor in literature and martial arts, so the money spent on learning martial arts
But there are many, and my own income is really not enough, so I have to find a way to make money faster.
How to do it? I thought hard for a long time. Finally, Dongzhang's eyes lit up when he thought of something, and he had it!
You can follow the example of many predecessors who have traveled through time and set up a prize for the restaurant. People in the Song Dynasty like to drink and gamble. Isn't it just right for you? If you make a plan for the next day, just talk to the shopkeeper.
Just like that, under the persuasion of Dongzhang, the owner of Fafu opened a drinking session with prizes. The first prize was twenty taels of cash, the second prize was twenty jars of wine, and the third prize was ten jars of wine. In total,
It was born in three hundred jars of wine.
As soon as this news came out, the three hundred jars of wine were instantly sold out in one day, making the shopkeeper Fafu so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear and touched Dongzhang's head and shouted, "Good boy, good boy."
Although I had agreed with the shopkeeper that Dongzhang would only account for 10% of the profit from this project, he couldn't bear to sell hundreds of jars of wine every day. This allowed Dongzhang to make a lot of money. After all, he was just a person.
Empty glove for white wolf.
It has only been two months since I came here, and Dongzhang's personal property is almost 500 grains of silver. And because of the special nature of Dongzhang's work, it would take others one or two hours to calculate the ledger, but it only takes him half an hour, so
, there is plenty of free time every day.
Therefore, when Dongzhang had nothing to do all day, he would walk around the streets all day long. When he saw people selling wild game, such as pheasants, jars, tortoises, etc., Dongzhang asked them to take them to the restaurant to settle the bill, and told them to go there.
If there is anything left later, just go straight to Ruyi Restaurant to find him.
It is planned to practice martial arts, but it will not work without a good body. In the future, you will not be able to eat these things without being shot at one hundred and eighty times. Everyone knows that the nutrition of domesticated ones is definitely not as good as wild ones. You can tell it by looking at the fish.
The meat of domestic fish is soft and rotten, but the meat of wild fish is different.
