Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 51 Your Highness, Let's Open a BBQ Shop!

"What kind of business?"

Zhu Di asked curiously.

"Your Highness, the official's job is to open a barbecue shop near Haizi Wharf." Guo An said.

Zhu Di wondered again, "Can you make money?"

Guo An said: "Your Highness, if you sell such a string of meat skewers for five renminbi, or cut this kind of meat skewer into smaller pieces and sell it for two renminbi, you can definitely earn back half of the money!"

Zhu Di's eyes widened directly, "You really dare to sell such a small skewer for five cents, who would buy it from you?"

Guo An said to Zhu Liang, whose face became stiff, "Your Highness, Zhu Baihu is willing to go!"

Zhu Di turned his head and glanced at Zhu Liang, sneered, with a look of disdain on his face, "A skewer of meat costs five cents, and a man in the army like him eats at least twenty skewers for a meal, and drinks some fine wine, isn't it a meal?" Want to eat hundreds of dollars?
So expensive, how many times can he eat it a year? "

Guo An smiled faintly, "Your Highness, only skewers are not enough for barbecue, and other dishes must be served, such as grilled pork belly, pig intestines, roasted kidneys, roasted leeks, grilled eggplant, roasted lentils... Besides, it is also possible. Served with some stir-fried vegetables, this will make people feel full and refreshed!"

"So, how much does it cost to eat a meal?" Zhu Di was dumbfounded.

Guo An said: "His Royal Highness, the food shops have clearly marked prices, and you can pay as much as you eat."

Zhu Di asked: "How many people in the entire Beiping Mansion can afford it?"

Guo An said confidently: "Your Highness, Haizi Wharf is a shipping terminal in Beiping Prefecture, and hundreds of wealthy businessmen from Jiangnan come and go every day.

His Highness should know how much money these merchants have in their pockets.As long as you put such delicious barbecue meat on Haizi Wharf, the fragrance will waft ten miles away. I believe these rich merchants will not be tempted!
In this way, only by relying on these wealthy businessmen, the barbecue shop can make a lot of money.

And there are still many wealthy businessmen in Beiping Mansion.

Even if they think the barbecue shop is expensive at first, after a long time, they will not be able to resist the temptation of delicious food!
I believe that as long as they have eaten once, the officials will let them eat for the second time and the third time..."

Hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but look disgusted, "You thief officer is really looking for money, you can think of making money even after a meal.

Could it be that you don't know that the emperor hates merchants the most, and directly beats merchants into low status. "

Guo An sighed softly, "May I ask Your Highness, do you hate merchants?"

Zhu Di snorted coldly, "The merchants colluded with the gentry, did not engage in production, and even exploited the people. If it weren't for the fact that Daming couldn't do without the merchants, this king would have killed them all!"

Guo An asked: "Your Highness, these merchants came to Beiping and made enough money. Do you want your Highness to return all the money these merchants earned?"

"Ok?"

Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, "Can kebabs be more expensive?"

Guo An felt at ease, it was all right.

"Your Highness, meat skewers can't be expensive, but wine, kidneys, and large intestines can be expensive!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "So, the king of this shop agrees! Tell me, how much money does the king need to spend!"

Seeing Zhu Di misunderstood, Guo An quickly said: "Your Highness, you misunderstood!

The lower official has no one, no money, no shop, so this barbecue shop is dominated by you, the lower official will invest 100 taels of silver, plus 200 taels of banknotes. ! "

"Ok?"

Zhu Di said: "After talking for a long time, you thief officer wants to persuade me to open a barbecue shop, and you wait for the money?"

Guo An quickly laughed and said: "Your Highness misunderstood the official, the meaning of the official is to share the money with His Highness, but the money paid by the lower official is less than His Highness, so it only accounts for [-]% of the money.

However, the lower officials don't just pay the money, the secret recipes and operating methods of the barbecue shops are all managed by the lower officials.

In addition, the house of the barbecue shop, as well as the shopkeeper, chef, shop assistant, and accountant of the barbecue shop all need His Highness to help select candidates.

As for the vegetables and pigs used in the barbecue, as well as all kinds of meat, His Highness also needs to help buy them! "

"Ok?"

Zhu Di's eyes widened immediately, "Damn it, I have never opened a barbecue restaurant, but I am definitely not a fool.

You thief officer only contributed some money and a secret recipe, and all the rest will be handed over to the king, and you will take two of them. How can such a good thing come from in the world? "

Guo An took the opportunity to pick up the wine glass and had a drink with Zhu Di.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. In fact, it will be of great benefit to His Highness to leave these matters to His Highness!"

Zhu Di said angrily: "Huh? You thief officer, tell me clearly."

"Your Highness, in fact, there are two most important things in a barbecue shop, one is the secret recipe for barbecue, and the other is the ingredients for barbecue.

The secret recipe Xiaguan was developed by Xiaguan after many years of research and development, and it is guaranteed that there is only Xiaguan in Ming Dynasty.

As for barbecue ingredients, only officials under His Highness can buy the cheapest meat and ingredients.

Moreover, buying these ingredients is also to earn some money for the people of Beiping Prefecture.Therefore, Xiaguan implores His Highness, if you want to buy these vegetables and ingredients, you can first buy vegetables and pig meat from the people in Wanping County, Xiaguan.

As for the shopkeeper, clerk, chef and accountant of the barbecue shop.

His Highness can choose people at will. For example, His Highness has tens of thousands of Yanshan guards.

After these soldiers took off their armor, they could only farm.

However, how much money can farming make, and these soldiers are already disabled, how can they farm?

Therefore, His Highness can let these soldiers be the shopkeepers, guys, and cooks of the barbecue shop.

In this way, at least these soldiers can eat meat every month, and they can also pay more wages. His Highness's move is also to find a good job for these soldiers!
......"

The more he listened, the brighter Zhu Di's eyes became.

On the side, Zhu Liang also looked at Zhu Di eagerly, wishing to agree for Zhu Di.

"The disabled soldiers under the king's command are really capable of barbecue shops? How much salary can you, a thief officer, get paid in a month?"

Guo An chuckled and said, "Your Highness, as long as the barbecue shop opens, you are the biggest owner of the barbecue shop. It's not up to you to decide who to recruit? As for the salary, it's up to you!"

As he said that, Guo An couldn't help thinking of something, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, these are all easy to talk about. But there is one thing, Your Highness, please pay attention.

The shopkeeper of the barbecue shop must be able to settle accounts, and the accountant must also be able to settle accounts.

As for shop assistants, they need to be able to walk normally and serve dishes.

In addition, if you encounter some jealous shopkeepers who make money, or some diners who make trouble after drinking, these guys can also roll up their sleeves and teach those thieves a lesson..."

Zhu Di said coldly: "You don't have to worry about this matter, the soldiers and generals guarding Yanshan, my king, are not a coward!
This king looks at Beiping, who would dare to smash this king's shop! "

"Your Highness is wise!"

Guo An quickly flattered him.
