As long as a person is alive, he must eat and drink. Only by eating and drinking can he live. This sentence sounds a bit contradictory, and this problem bothers many people. They don’t know what they are here to do in this world, to do great things.
?It’s not their turn and they don’t do anything? Then what’s the point of living? But they still want to live, and in order to live a hard life, they have to find ways to eat.
Since ancient times, food is the most important thing for people. If there is no food, they will fight for you, no matter you are an emperor or a rich man. Brothers kill each other, exchange children and eat, in the final analysis, it is just for one bite. When eating
In front of me, all other things are nonsense. Only when I have enough food and clothing will I think of other things, such as politics, philosophy, painting, music, and even sex.
When Su Ren started his business, he focused on eating. Starting from Bag Salt and later Cuixianglou, Su Ren never gave up on eating, which has been the most profitable and consumer-oriented business since ancient times.
.
The first Cuixiang Restaurant opened in Chengdu. From the first day of its opening, it shocked the entire Shu County. The delicious food that had never been seen in the world was gathered here, making the whole Chengdu go crazy. Later, Cuixiang Restaurant opened again
In Chang'an, Su Ren ingeniously added entertainment and turned it into a high-end restaurant with all-in-one food and entertainment, satisfying all the interests of the wealthy.
Shouchun Cuixianglou is Su Ren's tenth branch. Although Shouchun is in a bad environment today, its opening today has been favored by the rich and powerful people who stay in Shouchun. Starting early in the morning
, an endless stream of diners poured in, and the lobby and the second floor were quickly filled. There were people waiting in line on the street.
Su Ren stood at the door with a smile on his face. He would bow his hands and thank people when he met them. Regardless of whether he knew him or not, as long as he came, he would support him. The necessary face had to be given. When Zuo Wu and Wu appeared in front of Su Ren
, Su Renyi stretched out his hand to stop the two of them.
"You two, I told you that you are not welcome in Cuixiang Tower."
Zuo Wu smiled and said: "Sir, you are joking. Today I am here to congratulate you."
Su Ren smiled: "I never tell jokes, and I always do what I say."
"Mr. Su..."
Su Ren curled his lips and stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation, but in the opposite direction to others: "Please, my wine shop is opening today, I don't want to be rude."
Just when Zuo Wu and Wu were embarrassed, a long sound suddenly came from the street. The crowd in front of Cuixiang Tower immediately fell silent, and a luxury carriage drove to the front of Cuixiang Tower under the attention of the crowd. Su Ren threw down
Zuo Wu and Wu Ban quickly ran over and opened the curtain of the carriage with their own hands, and Liu An came out with a smile.
He looked up and said to Su Ren: "Su Zhonglang's business is booming, so many people are supporting Zhonglang?"
"The King of Huainan is laughing. Your Majesty, please come inside. The private room on the third floor has been prepared. I will have people prepare wine and food. Please taste the craftsmanship of my Cuixianglou."
"Hahaha... Then you're welcome!" Accompanied by Su Ren, Liu An walked in while laughing, without even looking at Zuo Wu and Wu Bei who were standing at the door.
According to Su Ren's pricing, the minimum cost for a private room on the third floor of Cuixiang Building is 500 yuan. This does not include singing, dancing, and other paid services. If it is fully equipped, it will not cost you 1,000 yuan. Even if it is so high,
The price is , and the reservation time is already ten days later. This alone shows that there are still many rich people in Huainan Kingdom, and there are many people who are willing to spend at least one thousand yuan for a meal.
Liu Hong, Duan Hong, the Prime Minister, the Lieutenant and other major officials of the Huainan Kingdom were already waiting in the private room on the third floor. When Liu An came in, everyone stood up and saluted quickly.
Liu An smiled and waved his hand gracefully for everyone to sit down. It was the first time he sat on this kind of Taishi chair. He held the handles with both hands and leaned his back on the back of the chair. His legs could stretch freely. Liu An felt particularly comfortable.
In front of you is a large round table, with a slightly raised middle part. A slightly smaller wooden board is dragged on top of an oiled wooden shaft, which can be turned left and right with a little effort.
"Good stuff, really good stuff! Su Zhonglang's Cuixiang Building is indeed unique. I think it won't take long for Buhai to earn back the three hundred gold." Liu An actually mentioned Liu Buhai's business first.
The name made Liu Buhai feel flattered.
Su Ren said with a smile: "I am a man of great promise, I can't let the eldest son's three hundred gold go to waste, right?"
Everyone laughed and looked at Liu Buyai for the first time, which made the eldest son of Huainan Kingdom feel a little uncomfortable.
The food and wine are served one after another, and both the style and taste are unforgettable at first sight. What surprises these rustics the most is that every time the boy serves the dish, he will introduce the name and method of the dish in detail.
You are not afraid of being stolen by someone who is interested.
When the last dish was served, a fat man in white clothes appeared in the room. The man knelt down and kowtowed to everyone. Su Ren stood up and said: "This is Fan Sanpang, the chef of Cuixiang Restaurant. All the dishes
They are all made by him. If you want to hold a banquet at my house in the future, you can invite him, but the price is a bit high."
Liu Hong smiled and said: "How high is it?"
"Not counting the preparation of materials, it costs three hundred to prepare a banquet like this."
Liu An almost spit out his wine. He stared at his eyes and swallowed the wine with all his strength: "Three hundred dollars? Then if you don't have five hundred dollars to prepare the ingredients, how can you have such a banquet?"
"Your Majesty is a sensible man!" Su Ren said: "Does Your Majesty know how much money this Fatty Fan gets from Cuixiang Tower every month?"
Liu An shook his head and said he didn't know.
Su Ren pulled Fan Sanpang up and said, "Come on, Master Fan, please tell me, lest you don't believe me."
Fan Sanpang chuckled: "The monthly salary is five thousand yuan!"
Everyone was speechless. A lowly cook earns 5,000 yuan a month, which is 60,000 yuan a year. In exchange for grain and rice, it is more than 10,000 shi. Such a huge amount of money can almost catch up with the Prime Minister's rank.
Su Ren continued: "In addition to these, we don't count the rewards from various festivals and the money I earn from going to your houses. In addition, as the boss, I get half of the dividend every year. Calculating, one hundred thousand dollars a year is not a big deal.
"
Looking at Fan Sanpang again, except for Huainan King Liu An, everyone else feels ashamed of themselves. They all think they are full of talent and knowledge, and they follow the Huainan King fearfully all day long. In the end, they only have enough to support their families. And Su Ren's subordinates
A little-known and lowly cook can make a hundred thousand dollars in a year. This is even closer to Shouchun, Chang'an, and Chengdu. Those cooks must be higher. Thinking of this, everyone covered their chests and tried not to vomit blood.
.
Su Ren dismissed Fan Sanpang, looked at the crowd, and said with a smile: "You didn't expect it, did you? A master earns one hundred thousand yuan a year, and the three hundred gold invested by the eldest son can be earned back in less than half a year. As long as the Cuixiang Tower is here
The eldest son can do nothing for one day and just count money at home all day long."
Liu Buyu was a little excited. Although he was not used to Su Ren talking about money in public, he also knew that Su Ren was trying to save face for himself. Although he had no intention of fighting for the throne, he could do it if he had money.
If you live a better life, you don't need to be so shabby anymore, and you can be more assertive when talking to others. The reason why Liu Buyao is looked down upon by others is because he has no way to make money. Although he is not a poor man, he is also the most miserable young man in Huainan Kingdom.
That's why there are those snobs who don't take him as an eldest son seriously. Now that he has money, his status will naturally rise. The key is that the money belongs to him and has nothing to do with his father, Liu An.
You can spend it however you want, and no one can tell him what to do.
Liu Buyao glanced at Su Ren gratefully. Su Ren picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, if any of you are still interested, you can continue to invest. In addition to this Cuixiang Building, I have many ways to make money.
"
One sentence aroused the interest of those smart people. If Liu An hadn't been present, several people might have discussed investment with Su Ren right away.
Liu Hong had an idea, turned to look at Liu An, and said, "I would like to cooperate with Mr. Su, is it possible?"
"Oh? Okay, as long as the Fifth Young Master has money, anything can be said. I am just a businessman with an eye for money, hahaha..."
Liu Hong raised his head, and a few people looked at Liu An timidly, and began to inquire about Su Ren's business. Su Ren knew everything about this, and talked about his business in such a grand manner that those who listened wanted to go home now.
Withdraw money.
Liu An coughed: "Today I am here to congratulate Su Zhonglang, how can you be so impatient?"
Everyone quickly shut up. Liu An put away his serious face and said to Su Ren: "The people in my Huainan are in poverty. If Su Zhonglang can spread the things you mentioned in my Huainan, I am willing to pay and cooperate with Su Ren."
Together, Zhonglang will work for the benefit of the people of Huainan."
"Okay! With the king sitting in charge, everything is easy to talk about. This matter is settled!"
There was a black line on everyone's head, and they looked at Liu An in a wrong way. They thought, this old boy Liu An is preventing others from getting rich, but he is shamelessly trying to get rich. A king of his own is only at this level.
,hehe.
After having a meal at Cuixiang Tower, Liu An took everyone and left. He winked at Liu Hong at the door, and Liu Hong got into Liu An's carriage. When he got out of the crowd, Liu An asked Liu Hong: "You
Do you think this can be done?"
Liu Hong smiled: "Su Ren said those words just to lift up his brother. Since my brother can make money from Su Ren, why shouldn't we? People will not say anything about the money we get in this way, even if they are guilty.
Putting the blame on Su Ren is much better than the prince's scheming and plundering."
"Hey!" Liu An sighed: "What I am worried about is that although Su Ren is good at business, no one can say that he will definitely make money in business. What if..."
"Since my father has concerns, he can invest less and wait and see the situation first. Even if something goes wrong, we won't lose too much."
Liu An nodded: "It's okay. Since those things happened, the private soldiers we raised have suffered a huge loss, and Ling'er has spent a lot of money in Chang'an. We really need to find another way to make money, so you can find a few reliable merchants.
Come forward, you and I, father and son, cannot be criticized on this."
