lying down

Ouyang stood in front of the main entrance of the restaurant with a smile, and nodded slightly.

If it is said that he, a time traveler, can't get attention even after spending some effort, then I really don't know that there is someone in this world who has more advantages than him.From the conceptual layering and overall design of the restaurant, to the management concept, the hiring of chefs, even to the welcome service and pre-business advertisements, he has more or less integrated what later generations have seen and heard about the restaurant.While some things are new to this age, there are some things about doing business that are timeless.

"Congratulations from Xu Shiji, governor of Bingzhou, a gilt door plaque—" Just as everyone was immersed in the shock that Panlong Restaurant brought to them, the master of ceremonies, Ge Ye, bowed his hands and led one into the restaurant, singing loudly.It's okay to shout, the surrounding people exploded, and the governor of a state actually sent a congratulatory gift?It was rumored that the owner of this restaurant, Ouyang Yu, was favored by the governor, and now it seems to be true.The common people who had heard the rumors slammed their mouths, secretly thinking that this restaurant is leaning against a huge mountain.The people who didn't hear the rumors were even more startled. The status of merchants has been extremely low since ancient times. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and middle merchants are the last ones. How about, this majestic governor of a state can break a corporal?They smashed and smashed their mouths, secretly thinking that today they had a lot of after-dinner conversation, and in their spare time, they also wondered how they could have such an adventure like this young boss.

Everyone had different thoughts, but they were all shocked.Here Ouyang was just slightly taken aback, then laughed, stopped the man carrying the plaque, and lifted the red silk with his own hands, only to see two bold and unrestrained gold-plated characters "Panlong" on it, with a name on the lower right corner.Ouyang was overjoyed, and immediately asked the clerk to bring up a ladder to remove the original door plaque, and immediately replaced it with the door plaque congratulated by the governor, thinking to himself that the restaurant's value has increased a bit, and this door plaque also has a deterrent effect: what do those jealous Xiaoxiao want to hit? Idea, it's best to think about the relationship behind this first.

"Ouyang, what a big deal! My brother is jealous!" Xu Da, Xu Shiji's personal guard, came over and congratulated him, his face that never smiled unexpectedly burst into laughter.

"Brother Yu is just making a fuss, it's just a fuss! Please also invite brother Xu to the private room on the third floor, today he will definitely not get drunk and return!" Ouyang smiled and raised his hand, and then Li Jin, the second foreman, came up to lead the way.

Xu Shiji looked back at the crowd, lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I don't dare to go upstairs first, I'd better wait downstairs first. You are busy, you are busy!"

Ouyang was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of his words, he couldn't help but burst into joy in his heart, probably Xu Shiji himself would come to congratulate him in person, but there are too many people at this time, it's inconvenient, and he probably will arrive in a while.As soon as he said a few words here, Song Ye over there sang again and again: "Bing Governor Lin Wen came to congratulate——, Sima Zhang Zhiyuan came to congratulate—— Ranger General Yuan Qing came to congratulate—! "

Ouyang glanced at Ge Ye, and saw that he was already blushing and his neck was thick, and his excitement was beyond words.The Dudu personally sent the invitation. The meaning of the invitation does not necessarily mean that the Dudu himself must be invited. His high position and authority will not easily touch such things so as not to be laughed at. Chang Shi, Sima and even the people of Bingzhou Daying He has never notified him, he really believed in the extremely low status of merchants in the books of later generations, and it is not far from unnecessary.But what he didn't expect was that a military general like Yuan Qing would be fine, but the two civil servants who were second only to the governor's weight actually came to congratulate him with gifts, which really surprised him.

As the saying goes, it is easy to talk about others, but difficult to talk about yourself.If you want to understand yourself, it is a hundred times more difficult than understanding others.Even Ouyang can't fully see his current situation, but in the eyes of others, it only took this kid from obscurity to blockbuster, and then he became a general in less than a few months, which is simply against the sky.Wen has to study hard for ten years, Wu has to practice six times in winter and summer, and then he must take the imperial examinations in high school, or gain military merits before he can start his official career, but Ouyang completely skipped this period that everyone must go through, and was directly promoted to the rank of guerrilla general. Job, in the hearts of others, is either simple in the emperor's heart or excellent official luck.This kind of thinking is beyond Ouyang's knowledge, because no one has ever talked to him, let alone reminded him.At this time, he rose like a comet, and he was already on the list of many civil and military officials in Bingzhou.

At this time, the people in front of the Panlong Restaurant consciously stopped being crowded, but turned their heads to look towards the end of the South Street from time to time, fearing that officials of all sizes would come to congratulate them one after another, and the crowd consciously gave way to a road for carriages. Walking through, this relieved the Jinyang city guards who maintained order.The result did not disappoint them. After a few leading officials in Bingzhou, congratulations from more than a dozen officials, big and small, came one after another.In short, it is interesting for everyone to listen to the song and sing the name of the official and the gift at night.

Ouyang was having a good time listening, when he suddenly felt a pain in his waist, he turned his head and saw Yunniang smiling and looking at him, saying: "Brother, what a skill!" Then a charmingly smiling head popped up behind Yunniang, and vomited at Ouyang. Sticking out his tongue and whispering: "Brother Ouyang, this is much more grand than sister-in-law Chu Xiang's wedding. The brother Ouyang I know is indeed invincible!"

"The world is invincible?" Ouyang smiled wryly in his heart. This girl's words are really beyond evaluation. Maybe he really has a few things about the world's invincible, but when he saw this girl, he immediately lost his temper.Ouyang was noncommittal, and was about to say a few words, but saw Yunniang's brows tightened and she quickly let go, and said happily: "Here, the person in your heart has come, go quickly!"

Following Yunniang's gaze, I saw an exquisite carriage kicking towards it, with a beautiful "Di" printed on the corner of the carriage.There is no other number two in Jinyang City who can be like this, only Di Xue's family.

"Di Mansion is here to congratulate, a pair of Japanese red corals, a pair of colorful gilt gold ingots..." Ouyang felt a little weird when he heard it. He sent a lot of things, but none of them were single pieces. It is in pairs.Only a fool can't see the meaning of this.Ignoring the playful looks from his family members around him, he hurried down the steps in front of the building to meet the carriage.

As soon as the curtain of the car was lifted, Xia He walked with Di Xue curling up, but there were a lot of people today, so Di Xue wore a delicate gauze hat, but Ouyang could still feel two fiery gazes through the gauze curtain .

"General! You are very powerful today. I wonder if I can go into the restaurant to ask for a few glasses of water and wine?" Xia He hid behind Di Xue's side and smiled, obviously more than Ouyang, the owner who should be happy. How excited.

"Girl, I don't have anything else for the general. There is too much wine. If you are capable, you can drink from noon to night. I think you can walk out of this restaurant well?" give birth to another meaning.It's just that the words have already blurted out, so he can't help him to put them away.

He only heard Di Xue in the gauze curtain lightly yell "Floating Prodigal!" and headed towards the restaurant, embarrassing Ouyang.

Although the restaurant is big, it cannot accommodate nearly a thousand people.The fourth floor can only be entered if you can match the couplets. For a while, many people turn back after seeing the couplets. Only a bunch of unwilling scholars continue to stop there.As for the private rooms on the third floor, there are only 300 after a complete renovation. Adding the second floor and the first floor, it can accommodate about 400 people, and [-] people have reached the limit.Therefore, a long queue formed early outside Panlong Restaurant. Fortunately, Ouyang had anticipated this situation long ago, ordered the waiter in the store to move to the bench, and gave free tea, and of course dozens of printed restaurant discounts, dishes, etc. Advertising is also essential.

After half an hour, Xu Shiji himself arrived late, and everyone who was waiting was dumbfounded.Needless to say how lively the restaurant is, and how many diners there are.It is only said that the restaurant opened on the first day of operation until the end of Youshi (7:[-] p.m.), and all the ingredients for the dishes have been sold out, so we have no choice but to thank the customers and close the door.This was the result of Li Xiaoer leading a few people to go shopping in the afternoon, but Ouyang and the others couldn't have expected it anyway.

As soon as the backyard entered the hall, Mrs. Li sat high in the middle seat, Yunniang's parents were on the left, and Chutian was on the right. The others were seated in sequence, and Ouyang was of course at the tail.Everyone chatted excitedly about today's grand opening, and talked about the emergencies they encountered for the first time and how to deal with them, which was quite enjoyable.Only the old shopkeeper Wang Shiwen sat at a large log table in the back, his abacus crackling in his hands.

"Boss, this is today's single-day account, please have a look." Before a cup of tea, Wang Shiwen wiped the sweat from his brow and walked quickly behind Ouyang, holding the account book respectfully.Although Ouyang was sitting at the end of the line and Wang Shiwen spoke softly, everyone had been waiting for this moment in their hearts, wondering how much money they could earn in a day, so they also paid three-point attention to Wang Shiwen when they spoke, only to see him leave So he focused his attention on him and Ouyang.

Ouyang saw that the account book was a little bit tricky. The bookkeeping method is not double-entry bookkeeping, but a complex bookkeeping method based on "in and out".Ouyang directly turned to the last page, and saw that it was written: 280 taels of silver and 62 coins for five pens, 870 taels of silver and 590 pennies for seven pennies, and a balance of 52 taels of silver for [-] pennies. Arrive on April [-]th.

Ouyang's heart skipped a beat, he actually earned nearly 600 taels of silver that day!Ouyang calculated it again and it was still the same number, and the hand holding the account book trembled.The ancients said that if you make money every day, you are already in business. This is just a kind of good intention, which is basically impossible.But as far as restaurants are concerned, the daily intake of 600 taels of silver is absolutely unique in Jinyang. Even if you look at the entire Tang Dynasty, except for a few restaurants in Chang'an and Luoyang, they can already stand out from the crowd.

Ouyang couldn't help thinking of his excitement when he was rewarded with a hundred taels of silver for saving Xu Shiji's son, Hu'er. Looking at the Chinese characters drawn in ink on the account book now, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart—it turns out that bringing the ideas and knowledge of later generations into the restaurant can make such a profit!Of course, he didn't burn out his head. On the first day of opening today, everyone's appetite was whetted early. In addition, there are many distinguished guests today, so he can have such a terrifying harvest.According to common sense, if half of the water is removed, there will be no pressure at all about 300 taels a day.What is that concept?He can earn 9000 taels a month, and 8000 taels a year. With the current market where twenty coins can buy a bucket of rice, Ouyang can become a wealthy person in the Tang Dynasty within three years.
