"I've already brought the sample," Chen En said, turning to Song Sanniang and saying, "Sanniang help me get it for the young master to take a look at."
"You don't need to look at it. Just ask them to do it more delicately. You can keep an eye on this matter." Chen Yue waved his hand and walked towards the courtyard, and then said: "Have you invited the cook in the guy's room? "
Chen En consciously walked half a step behind him and walked in with him, saying: "I have already gone to invite you. Three people are willing to quit their jobs in the Chen family and come to the Xizi Building, and two others said they would like to consider a few more times." God, I didn¡¯t tell you the young master¡¯s name as I was told.¡±
Chen Yue nodded: "That's very good. When this place opens for business, you go and talk to Fu Zhang and tell him that you are working for an old friend. You can't stay in Chen's house anymore. All the food and medicine expenses you paid before will be counted." It¡¯s clear, take it from me first, and don¡¯t reveal my background from now on. After all, my family still wants me to focus on my official career, and having too many business characters will always add some resistance.¡±
Chen En handed over his hand, and Song Sanniang on the side also stepped forward to give her guarantee.
"Master," Chen En said as he followed Chen Yue: "With the current progress, the construction can be completed in half a month. However, if we want to open in time for the month, it may not be so easy to recruit experienced stewards." , I still have some friendship with the shopkeeper of Chengzhuangyuan Building, I wonder if I should borrow some people from him first? It just costs more money."
"Well, let's do as you say. As for the money, you can make a rough estimate first and make a list for me. We will follow this example in the future. Before the end of each month, make a rough estimate of next month's expenses and give it to me. , it would be the same if I wasn't here for Xian'er." Chen Yue walked to the building in the front yard, climbed up the wooden stairs to the second floor, stood by the window and took a look, from the window he could directly see the shining West Lake. , the scenery is really good, but unfortunately there are too few seats by the window, so only three or four tables can be placed.
Chen Yue patted the edge of the window and said to Chen En: "At that time, you can find two craftsmen to take a look. If it does not affect the safety of the restaurant, remove the entire bottom of the window sill or make it knee-high, and then see if the bottom part can be removed. The cornices should be expanded further to prevent people from accidentally falling, and the front yard fence has also been pushed down, leaving only the backyard."
Chen En said doubtfully: "I'm afraid it won't be easy. Even if it can be done, the cost will be quite high."
"I don't want to let my child lead a wolf," Chen Yue patted him on the shoulder, "It's just to make money from the rich, just for them to enjoy. If the money slides down, it will be worth it if they can look at it a few more times. Also Hire a few more guards, four at the entrance to the front yard, four at the courtyard, and one in the back. You don¡¯t need to let them walk around and patrol, just stand upright and look strong."
¡°This¡there is only one wing in the backyard¡want one?¡±
"I'm afraid I don't have enough. What did I tell you just now? It's worth it if I can make them look at it a few more times. A strong nursing home can only cost twenty or thirty coins a month at most, but it doesn't count if you want to book this home. After that, we will have to give us ten guan for the melons and fruits for the banquet. If we order four or five dollars a month, we will definitely make a profit. In addition, if we don¡¯t have gold medals and jade medals, we won¡¯t be able to order them.¡±
"Young Master's move is really good" Chen En understood and sighed. He understood all these principles, but if he were to make the decision himself, he would not have the courage.
"This jade plaque will only be given away at the beginning, not sold. You can only give a copy to those who are highly respected in person. The name and life achievements should be engraved on the back. As for whether they use it or not, don't worry about it. First of all, Only ten people will be given away in batches, and then there will be a ceremony. Find some qualified people to evaluate them once a month. Three people will be evaluated each time, and then the jade plaques will be sent over in a grand manner. What are the specific requirements? I will discuss them when I get back. When I write you a letter, no matter if the person you receive it looks indifferent to me or not, it should always make people feel that they have face in their heart."
This is Chen Yue's ambition. If something like this can really become famous, it can occupy a very active position in the public opinion in Hangzhou. Over time, the influence of Xizilou hidden in the shadow will be quite terrifying. human influence.
Chen En didn¡¯t realize the final effect of this approach, but he also knew that it would be good for expanding the reputation of the restaurant. He nodded in agreement and asked, "How to sell gold medals?"
"The price is thirty guan, and we will only sell ten pieces per month. From now on, anyone who comes into the store with a gold medal will be greeted by two clerks, and a person with a jade medal will be greeted in person by a steward or above. Wait until everyone is here to deal with it When it's ready, go to some restaurants and tea shops in the city. It doesn't need to be too big, just be more elegant and gorgeous. The same goes for going to those shops with jade and gold medals. By the way, is there any management at the government office? "
"We have already got on the line with Pei Yasi of Qiantang County. He has agreed to invite Li Tongpan out for a drink on another day. After a few days, the wing room will be cleaned up, and I will go over to invite people."
"Oh?" Chen Yue was a little surprised. This Pei Yasi is called Pei Ya, whose nickname is Liyan. I heard Chen En mention it before, but he didn't expect that he was quite capable.A small county official dared to say that he could ask the general magistrate of the state government. It seemed that he was not a simple person.
The officials of the Song Dynasty were very different from the civil servants of later generations. The most obvious point was that they could not "be an official". Even except for people, sons could not take the imperial examination and be promoted to official positions, and usually they would not be able to obtain a rank throughout their lives. However, the advantage is that you don¡¯t have to travel three hundred miles away from home to take up an official position like the official who enters the ranks. Most of them are local squires and landlords. They can pass the position from generation to generation, and it is easy to form an intricate network of relationships in the local area. Many newly appointed county magistrates may even be hired. They were playing tricks on each other, and if Pei Ya wasn't bragging, he would be one of those people.
Just when Chen Yue was about to give some instructions, a person dressed as a maid ran up and said breathlessly: "Master, I want you to go back"
Chen Yue turned around in shock and recognized her mother's maid. The father and mother asked him to go back anxiously. They didn't know what happened, so they didn't dare to delay and said goodbye to Chen En and Song Sanniang.
When using many words, I feel a bit inconsistent, but Chacha has been used in ancient times. Is it because I am starting to make mistakes. For example, the word safety can be found in Jiao Gan's "Yi Lin¡¤Little Animals' Wuwu" of the Han Dynasty: "The road is easy, and it is safe and sound." Song Fan Zhongyan's "Reply to Zhao Yuanhao's Book": "There are people who live in the country of the king, and the court will not kill their families. Safe as ever.¡±
Regarding shrugging, I have explained it in the book review area before, and someone said it again today. I will explain it here. This word has been around since ancient times. Preface to Han Yu's "Shiding Couplet": "The Taoist laughed hoarsely and said, 'Is this just the poem?' Yinxiu shrugged and sat leaning against the north wall."
