Chen Qing looked at this man in surprise. Despite his rough appearance, he was actually a thoughtful person. However, when he thought about being a businessman, he realized that without a smart mind, it would be impossible to do business and make money.
"Brother, you see, a Manchu-Han banquet requires 108 dishes. Since we use the recipes passed down by the imperial kitchen chefs, the cost of making them is very high.
If you know our Red Mansion Restaurant, you should know that some of our ordinary-looking pastries or dishes require a lot of effort to make, so the cost is relatively high." Chen Qing was still a little disappointed.
After all, the sales price ordered by Han Peacock is too high.
"That's it. I'm mentally prepared. In a restaurant like yours, a dish would cost hundreds. But for such a banquet, the price is naturally higher. A thousand yuan per dish is enough, right? A hundred dishes like this
It’s only a little over 100,000 yuan, your table won’t exceed 100,000 yuan, right?” said the tall, strong man.
Chen Qing directly extended his thumb: "Brother is really a businessman. The Manchu-Han banquet we made is really priced at 100,000 yuan. In addition to the dishes, the drinks are also ours, but they are just some ordinary drinks, and the price is sixty-seven per box.
One hundred dollars.”
"Haha, it's okay. For ordinary people, six to seven hundred yuan per box of wine is pretty good for a wedding. But we are not short of that, so we bring our own wine, and the price per table is still calculated as one hundred thousand yuan.
Brother, if you give me face, I won't be a loser. We will get to know each other in the future. Brother, just leave me a seat at any time." The tall and strong man also breathed a sigh of relief after knowing the clear price. Although he said it
I'm generous, but I don't want to be stabbed.
Although he had long heard that the food at Red Mansion Restaurant was delicious, their food was also expensive, so when he came here, he knew that the Manchu-Han banquet was not cheap.
Unexpectedly, it was only 100,000 yuan, and drinks were also provided, so the price was not outrageous.
You must know that there are many banquets worth more than 100,000 yuan outside, but the Red Mansion Restaurant is really affordable. There are really not many delicious ones here.
Now that he had the opportunity to establish a relationship with Chen Qing, he really didn't care about Wan'er's 8,000 yuan. You must know that the Red Mansion Restaurant is really famous now. As long as it is a little social, he would like to come here to entertain customers and friends.
Not to mention the face earned, the most important thing is that the food here is really delicious. Everyone who has eaten here will never forget it.
And this restaurant only entertains about 200 tables every day. It sounds like a lot, but how big is the devil?
How many people eat out every day in Magic City?
In the Magic City, you really don’t dare to just say that you have more money. Maybe someone you pick out will be richer than you. So in a place like this where rich people gather together, as long as it is a place where people can eat well, you will never do it.
Worry about having no guests.
This man just said that he wanted to book 80 tables, each worth 100,000, which is 8 million.
Could a family that spent eight million on a wedding banquet be an ordinary family?
Therefore, Chen Qing did a good job in showing favor to the tall and strong man: "Since we agreed to Big Brother's request, we will naturally follow the procedures. If you bring your own drinks, we will refund the drink money to you. From now on, Big Brother
You are also our regular customer, you will definitely have a seat when you come to eat."
The hotel has special preparations for such high-profile guests, and some private rooms that are not usually used are prepared for people like them.
"Okay, it seems that I was right this time. Forget the money for drinks, I don't care about this small amount of money. You have been tired today, let this be considered as compensation for you!"
"This won't work..."
"In this way, even if I give compensation to those waiters, they are the most tired. If I give them more compensation, I can express my apology."
Chen Qing couldn't refuse, so he said: "Then I would like to thank you on behalf of the employees."
After sending people away, Chen Qing returned to the kitchen. Looking at the busy scene inside, she felt very painful.
Although he had an experience, it still gave him a headache if he did it again.
After Han Kongque watched the frustrated Han Guangrong leave, he walked to the kitchen again. Seeing that Chen Qing was also a little distracted, Han Kongque said with a smile: "Brother, aren't you happy about making money?"
"I'm happy, how can I not be happy? There's something else that will make you even happier!" With that said, Chen Qing dialed a number and shouted for them to come to the kitchen immediately.
After waiting for a while, Han Kongque stared at the two people who left: "Gu Lie, Yuan Peng? Aren't you two boys unable to come?"
Chen Qing smiled bitterly and said: "The two of them purchased ingredients for me in my hometown. I originally wanted to have a drink with you later to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect that we would be in trouble now."
"Why are there not enough ingredients? I have plenty of ducks at home, but now I'm worried about selling them!" Yuan Peng said.
Han Peacock gave Yuan Peng a blow and said, "Have you grown up like a duck?"
Yuan Peng smiled bitterly and said: "If we raise too many, we just happen to encounter bird flu. No, it's all in our hands."
"Well? Can you still smash this duck? If you can't sell it, kill it all and put it in the cold storage, but we can consume a lot here every day." Han Peacock said.
Chen Qing could only smile bitterly at this time: "Do you know how many ducks his family raises? Forty thousand. Even if we consume a hundred ducks every day, it will take a year to consume them all."
"So many?" Han Peacock was also shocked.
Yuan Peng said: "My two brothers each have one shed, and my parents and I have two, four sheds, raising 40,000 ducks. We used to make one or two yuan per duck, but now it's hard to even sell them."
.”
"It doesn't matter, a living person can still suffocate his urine to death? Brother, didn't you think of a way for Yuan Peng?" Han Peacock asked.
Chen Qingdao: "Let's not talk about this for now. Yuan Peng and Gu Lie, you two should contact us quickly and ask them to send us some more chickens, ducks, rabbits, lambs, suckling pigs and other things.
Forget about our hometown. The principle is to be close. We are in a hurry and try our best to buy in the villages around the magic city. The purchase order has been issued, so please hurry up and have it delivered."
Yuan Peng said: "I brought a lot of ducks into the city this time. This is easy to handle. I don't have to go out to buy them. The others are difficult to transport, so I originally bought them from the villages around the city. Let's make a call and ask them to send one away.
Just get it approved."
Nowadays, there are intermediaries in rural areas who specialize in purchasing livestock. They charge a certain fee, but they can help some businessmen who come to purchase from other places to quickly purchase enough satisfactory goods. It can be said that everyone is happy.
Han Kongque watched them finish the phone call and said, "Let's go! Let's find a room to have a drink. Brother, you don't have to stare here anymore. You don't have to cook anyway."
"Let's go! Your sister-in-law has already prepared a table. Let's go have a drink. We brothers haven't been together for a long time," Chen Qing said.
Gu Lie said: "I have to get drunk today."
Han Kongque looked at Gu Lie and said, "You've been out for a few days. You have a good capacity for drinking!"
"That's right. I'm down there. One small show every day, one big show every three days. It would be weird if I can't practice my drinking capacity." Gu Lie said with a smile.
Gu Lie went to Ganshan County to prepare for the production base. At this time, it was not just soybeans. With the expansion of the Red Mansion Restaurant, the flour, vegetables, oils, and meat they used were all increasing rapidly, so Gu Lie had already The plan was re-expanded several times to cope with the subsequent expansion of the Red Mansion Restaurant.
Yuan Peng said: "Brothers, I have no future. If I had known this earlier, I might as well have followed the eldest brother and the second brother. Why do you think I thought of going home to raise ducks?"
"Isn't it good to be the Duck King? You don't know, my stomach hurts every day!" Gulie said, making a sad expression.
"You are the Duck King." Yuan Peng didn't like this title very much.
Han Kongque said: "Haha, don't make trouble, Gu Lie, don't forget to drink the soy juice you made yourself every day. If you don't drink it, your stomach will soon no longer belong to you."
"I know, and the water you gave me, second brother, I just need to take a bath every day." Gu Lie said happily. Among the four brothers, he has been hanging out with Han Peacock for the longest time, so he treats Han Peacock. Not polite at all.
Chen Qing said: "Peacock, your water has been targeted by someone, so be careful."
Han Kongque said: "It's okay. I have taken over the water plant. Even if others have other ideas, they can only watch."
"That's good." Gu Lie was also very worried when he thought about it.
Han Kongque said: "When we are all free, I will take you to the water plant to have a look."
Gu Lie immediately said happily: "I have long wanted to see what kind of magical place can actually produce such water."
When passing Liu Xu's room, Han Peacock said: "You go over first, I'll tell Liu Xu."
"Second brother, since we have met, why not ask my sister-in-law to come over and let's get together." Yuan Peng said.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "Let's talk about it later when we have a chance. She got up at four in the morning and must be tired now."
Han Kongque walked into the room, but unexpectedly did not see Liuxu. Han Kongque asked about it and found that Liuxu had been sent home by Han Ronghua. She was too sleepy and couldn't support it anymore.
At that time, Han Kongque was accompanying guests again, so he didn't tell him.
Knowing that Liu Xu had gone home for a lunch break, Han Kongque felt relieved, so he hid in a room with the three brothers and started drinking.
At this time, the guests in the private room were already full, so many of them had already left, and those who had not left also left the private room and gathered in the lobby of the hotel, where the bride was having a wedding banquet.
This kind of wedding banquet didn't know when it would end, so everyone who wasn't interested stayed away.
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Han Kongque and the others walked out of the room drunkenly, went directly outside, took a taxi, and came to Antique Street.
After getting out of the car, as the breeze blew, Han Kongque sobered up a little. When he saw the other brothers walking calmly, he knew that he had been tricked: "You guys are so unjust, let me drink all the wine." Drink?"
Chen Qing smiled and said, "You finally came to your senses."
Gu Lie said with a smile: "Aren't you happy today?"
Han Kongque sighed and said, "I'm glad that Han Guangrong finally has someone to take care of him."
"Okay, that's your brother, not your son, so don't worry so much," Gu Lie said.
Yuan Peng said: "Yes, now let us see the second brother's ability to pick up leaks. I am very curious about this. Just pick up the leaks for us and let us see it."
Gu Lie said with a smile: "Now that my second brother has gained a certain reputation in the antique street, it seems that it is not so easy to miss."
Chen Qing looked at the three brothers with a smile on his face. He has been too busy recently. It turns out that he has not experienced that kind of relaxing life for a long time, so today he gave up everything and went out to accompany the three brothers.
Han Peacock shook his head and directly controlled the rapid movement of water in his body, trying to break down the alcohol. However, as a result, the blood circulation accelerated and he felt even more dizzy.
There was no way. Han Peacock could only cheat. He controlled the water to wrap the alcohol in the blood, and quietly released these foreign substances from the body.
Anyway, none of the brothers drank too much, so he didn't have to resist.
Feeling that his mind was completely clear, Han Kongque began to chuckle. Some of the antique street vendors he met today went to have a wedding banquet. He believed that with such good food and such good wine, those who could leave soberly should
not much.
After walking into the antique street, as Han Kongque had guessed, no one he knew was there.
Four people wandering around the antique street. This scene has not happened for a long time.
"How many years has it been since we went shopping together?" Chen Qing sighed a little. He used to hang out in the antique street every day, but he seemed to have never wandered around here.
Gu Lie said: "I thought shopping was a woman's thing!"
"Who has time to go shopping?" Yuan Peng asked.
Han Kongque said: "Since we stopped working together on the construction site, we haven't gone shopping together, right?"
"Among us, the second brother lives a cool life. He has a lot of time to go shopping." Gu Lie said.
"This is not something to envy. If you have Second Brother's ability, you can come here to shop every day. But do you have that ability? The things here, not to mention Second Brother, even I know they are all fake.
It really takes skill to be able to successfully pick up missing goods here." Yuan Peng said.
Han Peacock said with a smile: "It not only requires skill, but also luck. Do you think there are so many antiques in this world? So, no matter how good your appraisal skills are, it will be in vain if you can't find good things."
"Don't make excuses. If you can't pick up the leak today, drink two kilograms of white wine first for dinner tonight. I have discovered that among our brothers, you are the only one who can play pig and eat tiger. You drank so much at noon today, and now you
You're still so sober." Gu Lie looked at Han Peacock with clear eyes and not drunk at all, and knew that he was either cheating or pretending to be drunk just now.
Han Peacock said with a smile: "It's not easy just to pick up leaks. Come on, let me show you what I am capable of." As he said that, Han Peacock stopped at a stall.
"Second brother, you don't want to buy copper coins, do you? The value is too low to count." Yuan Peng reacted quickly and immediately understood Han Peacock's purpose.
The easiest thing to pick out leaks is ancient coins, but it is also very difficult for people to make a fortune with such leaks.
Naturally, the stalls Han Kongque chose were not chosen randomly. Based on his understanding of the antique street, he knew whose stalls might have good things.
Just like this stall now, many of the things on his stall have never been seen before, so Han Kongque stopped here.
"What do you guys want to do?" The stall owner is a young man, and he has pretty features, but his eyes are naturally evasive when looking at people. Such a guy is either timid or treacherous.
Han Kongque was very sure that the stall owner didn't know him, so Han Kongque said with a smile: "We don't have any money, so we can only play with copper coins. How can the boss sell these copper coins?"
The young boss looked at Han Kongque, then at Chen Qing and others. They were all well-dressed. Would such a person have no money?
He sneered in his heart and said quickly: "Although the things I have here are not treasures, they are still good things. You can take a look at whatever you like, and we will discuss the price."
Han Kongque said with a smile: "Aren't you selling such a large amount of copper coins by the pound? Are they sold by the piece?"
"In terms of weight?" As soon as these words came out, not only the stall owner was shocked, but also the three brothers Chen Qing were shocked.
Han Kongque scratched his head and said, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? When I came to the antique street, I always bought by the pound. I fell in love with someone's stuff, so without saying a word, I weighed it and packed it away.
people."
As Han Peacock spoke, he waved his arms very proudly to strengthen his momentum.
Although Han Kongque started pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger again, the stall owner had to be qualified to be a tiger, so while Han Kongque was making gestures, his hands were not idle.
The copper coins on the stall all have a patina, and each one is rusty and looks very worn. It is obvious that such copper coins have not been carefully cleaned.
As long as they have not been carefully cleaned, it means that even the boss has not carefully checked how much these copper coins are worth and whether they are valuable.
Han Peacock moved his hand a few times on the stall to see how the copper coins were being cleaned. The copper coins were very natural and did not look like fakes. This made Han Peacock feel relieved.
As long as it's not fake, you have a chance to pick it up.
This is a batch of Song Dynasty coins, and they are all Shao and Xing Tongbao. Such ancient coins are generally not valuable.
Han Kongque picked up the one with the worst rust and wiped it hard. The handwriting could still be seen clearly. It was indeed Shao Xing Tong Bao.
The specifications of this copper coin are two coins. There are not many such coins in existence because Shao and Xingtong Bao were the reign names of Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. They were used for 32 years, so the mintage is relatively large and there are many in existence.
, the price is generally 10-20 yuan.
Only the rare editions can cost hundreds or thousands. Of course, the price is sky-high for rare and unique products. However, since they are unique products, they are naturally not easy to see.
So even though these were Shao and Xing Tongbao, Han Peacock was not disappointed. Han Peacock was still very interested in such a batch of Song coins that had not been carefully sorted out. (To be continued...)
