Opening a restaurant in the imperial city only requires two thousand taels of silver.
Although there are still some things that need to be settled behind the scenes, Xu Que is still the emperor no matter what, so with just a few words, everything can go smoothly.
Of course, he did all this without telling Xuanyuan Wanrong, and even carefully found white gloves to avoid the sight of spies.
This woman is very petty, if she were to find out, she might have to do something secretly.
…
A few days later, a brand new restaurant was built in the imperial city.
This restaurant that suddenly appeared immediately attracted the attention of many people.
You know, there is a lot of money in this imperial city. If you want to open a restaurant, you must not only have money, but also have a huge network of contacts.
Otherwise, this restaurant will definitely not be able to stay open for long.
"Baiyun Restaurant...I haven't heard of a similar restaurant before."
"Which restaurant is this that a nobleman suddenly opened?"
"I don't know, but I've never heard of their signature dish. It seems to be called hot pot..."
“Isn’t it written on the plaque, Zhatian Gang Haidilao Hot Pot!”
Just when everyone was talking about it, an amazing scene happened!
The well-known playboys in the imperial city went together to the restaurant happily.
The people were suddenly terrified.
This gang of dandies is well-known as villains in the imperial city. Although they have never committed any serious crimes, they are often arrogant and domineering.
Usually when these guys appear in groups, they are either going to go shopping or looking for trouble with someone.
"I'm afraid this restaurant won't be able to open tomorrow..." Someone who knows the ropes sighed silently.
It's a pity that such a good restaurant had to suffer the murder of these gangsters just after it opened.
Before everyone could finish feeling sorry, a shocking scene occurred.
These dandies went in standing, but were carried out of the restaurant!
And it wasn’t that he was severely injured and couldn’t walk, it was because he was so full that he had to be carried out!
What's more, they held the door of the restaurant and refused to leave, wailing loudly: "Shopkeeper! I beg you, let me pack a portion! I haven't eaten enough!"
The white-haired shopkeeper didn't show up, but he just asked someone to spread the word: "In the restaurant, only one person is allowed to have one meal a day, and no more are allowed."
No matter how reluctant the playboy was to leave, he could only be carried back to the mansion.
Wow!
For a time, there was a lot of discussion about this restaurant.
"Damn it, the last time those dudes visited a restaurant like this, the restaurant closed down on the same day!"
"Didn't you notice that even though the shopkeeper was so disrespectful, none of those dudes made any trouble?"
"Yes! They are all a bunch of guys who are not afraid of anything. When did they become so obedient?"
People with a discerning eye will quickly point out the key. The energy of the owner behind this restaurant is beyond imagination.
Soon, someone spread the relevant information about the restaurant.
"Let me tell you, this restaurant only sells one dish, and that's hot pot. I heard it costs one hundred taels a serving!" said an insider.
"Really or not, one hundred taels of silver is so expensive?"
"It's true! And it's said that the taste is so good that people won't want to leave!"
Although the dandies have a bad reputation, they are also the most enjoyable group of people in the imperial city.
There is always something delicious and fun to eat, and these guys are like sharks smelling the smell of blood, swarming here.
This time with them as the vanguard, the reputation of Baiyun Tower soon spread in the imperial city, and people flocked to it.
The imperial city is at the feet of the emperor. Although one hundred taels of silver per dish is expensive, some people can afford it.
In almost half a day, a long queue formed at the Baiyun downstairs convenience store, almost across the entire street, and there were even people queuing in the street next door.
Just when everyone was complaining that there were too many people, the shopkeeper spoke again.
"The restaurant's hot pot is limited to ninety-nine portions per day. If you don't want to queue, you can apply for a membership card worth nine hundred and ninety-eight taels, and you can arrange your seat in advance."
Even if a dignitary pays money and applies for a card, he is immediately treated as a guest and enjoys delicious food.
Other wealthy people scoffed.
"Idiot, it's so stupid to get a membership card just to enjoy it in advance."
"That's it, but we don't know that only waiting can make beautiful things more valuable."
"This kind of nouveau riche doesn't deserve to queue up with us."
The dignitary who had applied for a membership card came out after eating. Hearing these words, a subtle expression appeared on his face, and he loudly said: "No, no, no, there are really people who can't even get a membership card.
You're queuing up here, and you have the nerve to say that you belong to a rich person?"
Damn it!
One stone stirs up a thousand waves, everyone is rich, why are you so arrogant?
It’s only nine hundred and ninety-eight taels of silver, how can I afford it?!
"Give me one!" A rich man was filled with indignation and took out his money on the spot to apply for a card.
"I want one too!"
"Bring me ten tables, one for each person eating at the table. Some of the nouveau riche saw it and thought I couldn't afford it!"
According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 100 wealthy people applying for membership cards alone.
There are rich people who do not believe in evil and refuse to apply for a card. As a result, they waited in line for a whole day and failed to get in.
Asking is to prioritize members' orders.
The rich man was dumbfounded. He didn't have a membership card anymore. He couldn't even smell it, let alone eating hot pot!
As a result, almost all the rich people who wanted to eat hot pot ran to apply for a card in despair.
Xuanyuan Wanrong, who was in the palace, was a little surprised when she received the news.
"How can a mere hot pot attract so many followers?"
The spy who came to report hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Madam, there are rumors that this Baiyun Tower was built by your Majesty."
"I know." Xuanyuan Wanrong was not surprised at all, "Only he can come up with such a weird idea to make money by opening a restaurant."
But the cost of fighting the war is only one million taels of silver, and it is still the lowest.
And today's restaurant's turnover, even if you include card applications, is only less than 200,000 silver taels.
Xuanyuan Wanrong doesn't know how to govern a country, but she knows that in this world without spiritual energy, no matter how delicious the food is, there will be a day when she gets tired of it.
There is such a high income today just because everyone is looking for something strange.
As time goes by, the turnover will gradually decrease. According to the method of earning one hundred taels of silver for this dish, I don't know if I will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to earn one million taels of silver.
But she didn't know that this was just Xu Que's first step.
"Of course you can't cut all the leeks at once, you have to give them some room to grow!"
Xu Que, who was teaching his experience to the shopkeeper, said this.
