Chapter 805 Come out, fast food
Farewell to his mentor Xu Jie, Zhu Pingan returned to the Hou Mansion to Ting Yuxuan. As soon as he entered Tingyuxuan, Zhu Pingan discovered a surprise.
There is a bathtub in the courtyard. It looks familiar at first glance, and even more familiar upon closer inspection.
Uh.
Isn’t this the bathtub that Xu Fan carried and hawked along the street for three hundred taels of silver? Isn’t it the favorite bathtub of his father Xu Jie? !
Ahem
At that time, I had just entered the Xu Mansion, and when I heard Xu Fan say these words, I was still cursing in my heart, thinking who would spend 300 taels of silver to buy a second-hand bathtub. 300 taels of silver is equivalent to more than 20,000 taels of RMB. The bathtubs of the Ming Dynasty are not modern high-tech bathtubs with massage and other functions. How can a bathtub made of wood be worth 300 taels of silver.
Which scapegoat would buy a second-hand bathtub? !
I never expected that the person I was thinking of was myself.
"Gee, uncle, do you like it? The lady specially spent three hundred taels of silver to buy this for my uncle."
Baozi's little maid Hua'er popped out from nowhere, like a little butterfly, giggling and appeared next to Zhu Pingan, stretched out her chubby hand and patted the bathtub, blinked her big watery eyes, and looked at Zhu Pingan asked.
Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an was stunned for a moment. If he was allowed to use the second-hand bathtub that Xu Jie often bathed in, it would really be a huge challenge.
Although Zhu Pingan has no mysophobia, Zhu Pingan is a little daunted when he thinks that this bathtub is a bathtub that has been passed down by Xu Jie's family for two generations.
"Hun said, who can use the broken bathtub used by a smelly old man? Let him put it in the warehouse, in any corner, so as not to be an eyesore."
Li Shupian however. To, wearing an off-white Yunyan shirt embroidered with elegant plum blossoms, The floor-length crimson skirt with double butterflies and clouds in the shape of a thousand water that sweeps the floor, holding a Suzhou embroidered mandarin duck playing in the water fan, a pretty face as charming as the spring moon, a pair of watery eyes looking forward to the brilliance, a smile, slender The jade hand flicked Baozi's little maid Hua'er's forehead.
"Miss, it hurts." Baozi's little maid covered her forehead with her chubby hands and looked at Li Shu with tears in her eyes.
Dong.
Li Shu flicked the little maid Baozi again, and said with an angry smile: "This is the pain."
The little maid Baozi made a sound of pain, and once again stretched out her chubby hand to cover it. Forehead, okay, This time it really hurts.
"Miss, why do we spend 300 taels of silver to buy a broken bathtub? It looks like it has been used." The little maid Baozi rubbed her forehead. asked in confusion.
"It's such a good opportunity, why not buy it." Li Shu smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes looking forward to it, "Are you your husband?"
Uh.
Okay.
It is a pity that Li Shu is not an official.
Zhu Ping'an smiled bitterly and touched his forehead. Li Shu was more suitable to be an official than him. If Li Shu were a man, he would definitely be better and bigger than his official.
Well, if you buy it, just buy it. It can be regarded as helping the teacher as a disciple.
I just owe Li Shu another three hundred taels of silver.
Haha.
Why do I feel that I am going further and further down the road of eating soft food? No, no, I am a tall and dignified man, it’s okay if I don’t support the family, how can I keep spending Li Shu’s money.
Having to find a way to make money, Zhu Pingan once again thought about the tertiary industry and decided to put it into action this time.
There will be many places to spend money in the future.
Don't think about your salary. On the one hand, your salary is too small, and on the other hand, your salary for this year has been deducted by Emperor Jiajing's last imperial edict.
So, now that I have no source of income, I can only create a tertiary industry if I want to make money.
At noon, Wang Shizhen and Zhang Siwei came to visit together. After they heard that Zhu Pingan was fined one hundred and sixty taels of silver, they felt that Zhu Pingan was in a hurry and couldn't get enough money, so they came together. Here comes the money for Zhu Ping'an.
It’s time to help.
Xinyi accepted it, but Zhu Ping'an confiscated the money because the fine had already been paid with Li Shu's strong support.
After hearing that Zhu Pingan had collected the money to pay the fine, Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen stopped insisting.
Zhang Siwei smiled and joked, I told Wensheng a long time ago not to worry about Zihou. Zihou is the son-in-law of Linhuai Marquis Mansion. I heard that Zihou’s father-in-law is quite wealthy, so this fine of silver is nothing. .
Wang Shizhen also laughed.
Zhu Pingan smiled helplessly and shook his head. Although Zhang Siwei and the others were joking, they once again strengthened Zhu Pingan's belief in creating the tertiary industry.
Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen had to go to work in their respective yamen in the afternoon. After Zhu Pingan invited them to have a brief lunch in the outer courtyard of the Hou Mansion, they said goodbye and went to work. Zhu Pingan sent them all the way outside the mansion.
The three of them separated at the end of Gonghou Street. Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen went to work, while Zhu Pingan went to the Qihuamen area of Dongcheng District alone.
The Qihuamen area in Dongcheng District is an area that Zhu Pingan was optimistic about last time, and it is the best choice for establishing the tertiary industry.
This is the most prosperous area in the imperial capital besides the "first three gates", and the flow of people is even greater than that of the first three gates.
This is the only place where the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal leads to the imperial capital. It is the Hexin acupuncture point, the economic lifeline of the entire Ming Empire. It transports grain, merchants come and go, contribute from all directions, enter and leave Beijing, and officials, merchants, civilians, and laborers come in and out. There is a constant flow of traffic at Qihua Gate.
Zhu Pingan was optimistic about this location last time and had preliminary considerations about the type of tertiary industry.
Catering industry.
The tertiary industry planned by Zhu Pingan is the catering industry. The Qihuamen area has a huge flow of people, so the catering industry is the most suitable one. The catering industry is an industry with low entry barriers and high profits.
Initially testing the waters, Zhu Ping'an plans to target ordinary people and Lifu, and do popular catering. Zhu Ping'an has inspected that in this area, compared to merchants and officials, the base of civilians is the largest. Zhu Ping'an was a grassroots foodie in modern times. When he was in school, he ate almost all the fast food restaurants and small restaurants nearby. He also knew the most about the modern fast food industry and affordable restaurants. Of course, compared to high-end restaurants, the investment cost of this kind of popular catering is also much lower.
Last time Zhu Pingan brought his naughty child and little lolita Niuniu here for an inspection. There is a lot of room for improvement in restaurants in this area targeting ordinary people and Lifu, whether it is dishes, services, marketing, etc. , which is far from modern times.
A pot of tea is charged, the food is expensive, especially meat dishes, the serving speed is slow, the food is lacking, the service attitude is bad, the environment is not good. There are many problems and problems to list, and they are not very popular. .
Zhu Ping'an plans to open a popular catering to test the waters, healthy catering, and benefit the people. It will not only benefit the people, but also provide him with multiple incomes. Why not do it.
Come out, fast food. (End of this chapter)
