Ah? The ladies I stabbed have come true.

Chapter 41 Opening, Dou Qianli comes to eat and drink
You experimented with many wine recipes and finally stumbled upon a rather unique wine.

You named this special wine recipe "Xianrenzui."

[The reason is that after drinking this wine, no matter how much you drink, as long as you lie down on the bed and fall asleep, you will definitely sleep for three days before waking up.]

[When Guo Lin saw you sleeping soundly, she almost thought you would never wake up.]

[I was so happy to see you wake up that I hugged you for a long time.]

The feelings between you two are growing stronger day by day.

【As the brewery continues to operate, you will obtain enough fermented rice.】

The opening date is also on the agenda. You plan to open on the winter solstice.

【But first, we need to recruit the staff. 】

[Finally, you hired two smart young men to work as waiters at the restaurant for two coins a month, and a female servant in her thirties to take care of the house, do the laundry, etc.]

[In addition, you also hired two cooks to help you in the kitchen.]

[Guo Lin is in charge of the accounting.]

[So, after everything is ready, accompanied by the explosion of firecrackers, on the day of the winter solstice, you begin your business.]

However, business at Yuelailou was dismal on its opening day; not a single person came to eat.

You inquired privately and found out that the "Chun Ke Lai" restaurant across from you was having a promotion on your opening day, and all the customers were attracted there.

What do you choose now?

Option 1: Set fire to "Spring Visitors" in the dark and windy night. At the same time, buy a lock to lock the door and try to burn everyone to death.

Option 2: Learn from Chunkelai and run promotional events, relying on initial losses to build a good reputation.

Option 3: Offer a free first drink promotion, giving out all the osmanthus wine for free, and also offer discounted packages to attract passersby.

……

Looking at the first option, the Living King of Hell, Su Mo immediately ignored it.

joke.

How could he possibly choose this?

If I hadn’t known that this game “Love Life” had rewards before, I might have chosen it.

But now it is obvious that there will be rewards only if you improve your rating. Unless it is necessary, I will not choose this option.

As for the second option, Su Mo didn't want to choose it.

After all kinds of miscellaneous consumption plus the cost of brewing and ingredients.

There are now less than 50 taels of silver left in the simulation.

Can't afford the loss.

I can't afford to lose at all.

The only thing we can do now is the third option, launching discount packages.

As for the first drink being free, that's still an affordable loss.

Because the profit margin of alcoholic beverages can be said to be the highest, the cost of a cup of osmanthus wine is not even as much as a bowl of rice porridge.

But it can be sold for three or four times more than a bowl of rice porridge.

You chose the third option.

On the second day of opening, you launched a promotion with great fanfare: the first cup of osmanthus wine was free, and you also introduced three different set menus.

The low-end set meal, consisting of mixed fish potstickers and a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, cost 25 coins and was specifically designed to attract low-end consumers like porters and peddlers.

The mid-range set meal consisted of roasted lamb, egg drop soup, and beer, priced at 110 coins, and was specifically designed for middle-class consumers like gentry and scholars.

The high-end set meal includes your carefully prepared crab roe soup dumplings, stir-fried venison, and mushroom soup with Immortal Wine. It costs 400 coins. One guan (a string of coins) is equal to one tael of silver, and one guan (a string of coins) is 770 coins. This set meal costs more than half a tael of silver.

Even Guo Lin feels your pricing is a bit too high. Even wealthy businessmen with plenty of money wouldn't be willing to purchase this package.

【You smiled and explained to her. 】

"I launched this package not to sell it, but to arouse people's curiosity. Only in this way can I successfully sell the other two packages."

"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that someone might want to give it a try, and if they get drunk, we could charge them for three extra days of room service."

After hearing your words, Guo Lin beamed with joy and praised your business acumen.

[Soon, the next day you launched a special offer.]

[You are very confident in the food you cook with your superb cooking skills.]

When they heard they could have a free drink at the restaurant, some alcoholic diners flocked in.

[But everyone ordered the lowest-end set meal, which was mixed fish potstickers with a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine.] [Even without much seasoning, you put in a lot of effort to make the mixed fish potstickers. The mixed fish broth was delicious and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.]

Diners who have eaten your food have said that this is the best mixed fish pot stickers they have ever had.

【At the same time, the osmanthus wine also has an excellent taste and a sweet flavor. 】

[For just 25 coins, you can enjoy such delicious food and wine. Everyone feels it is worth it.]

[It's just a higher-level set meal, and no one has ordered it yet.]

After a full day of selling, all the small fish you bought at a low price are sold out. Although the profit isn't huge, it's still a good start.

[Just when you were about to close, an unexpected guest came into the store.]

This guest was completely covered in a black robe, so it was hard to tell what he looked like. He seemed quite short, like a hunched old man.

This customer originally ordered the lowest-end mixed fish potstickers and sweet-scented osmanthus wine, but the mixed fish in the kitchen was already sold out. If they wanted more, they would have to rush to the morning market to buy some from the fishmonger.

After learning that the pot stickers were sold out, he did not leave but ordered a second set meal.

You were very happy when you heard this and quickly made him roasted lamb, egg drop soup, and beer.

[When the guest drank ale for the first time, he was obviously stunned and immediately asked for more ale.]

In order to better preserve the beer's liquid and bubbles, you commissioned a massive wooden barrel that could hold 500 kilograms of fresh beer.

After tasting the beer, the customer immediately kept asking for more beer, leaving the roasted lamb and egg drop soup untouched.

[You see a big customer has arrived, so you ask two waiters to go to the kitchen to help clean up and then you personally start serving this guest.]

[You used a large, specially crafted bamboo mug for beer. This mysterious guest drank a full thirty-four cups before stopping. Such a drinking capacity is truly admirable.]

[At the same time, you also see the white silver waving to you.]

[After drinking the last glass of beer, the mysterious guest staggered to his feet, but you saw a face as pale as yellow paper in the corner of his hood.]

Like old paper soaked in wax, it was yellowish and black, gleaming with a strange waxy sheen.

[Your scalp tingles when you see this person's face. You don't know what this person is.]

[Seemingly noticing your gaze, the guest burped and patted your shoulder.]

"Boy, your wine is good."

"Remember, my name is Dou Qianli. If you have any problems in the future, remember to come to the Huiyan Pavilion to find me."

After saying this, Dou Qianli took out a silver ingot from his sleeve, placed it on the table, and walked away swayingly.

[Faced with such a strange guest, your heart is pounding. What will you choose? ]

[Option 1: Gladly accept the silver ingots left by Dou Qianli, then close the shop, clean up, and go spend some time alone with Guo Lin.]

[Option 2: Cut off the silver that is due to you, and return the rest to Dou Qianli.]

[Option 3: Catch up, return the money to Dou Qianli, and tell him that the meal is on your behalf.]

……

Dou Qianli?
Su Mo was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Xiaoqing's friend Dou Qianli would be attracted here.

According to the previous simulation experience, Dou Qianli is a good monster.

He controls Huiyanguan, the largest intelligence organization in the Yin and Yang worlds of Qinglin County.

If he protects me.

Ordinary demons really don't dare to cause trouble for him.

Thinking of this, Su Mo immediately chose the third option.

You watched Dou Qianli stagger away and immediately chased after him.

"Sir, it's my honor to have you come to our restaurant for dinner. How can I charge you money? This meal is on me!"

After hearing this, Dou Qianli stopped in his tracks. Without moving his body, he turned his head 180 degrees to look over.

"You're a good guy, but I, Master Dou, have never eaten for free."

"Take it back. There will be plenty of opportunities to eat in the future."

After Dou Qianli finished speaking, he turned into a cloud of black mist and disappeared.

[You were really frightened when you saw such a strange scene.]

[But when you think of the silver ingot in your hand, the weight of which is so real and reliable, you turn around and put this fear behind you.]

[The world is big, but making money is the most important thing! ]
