Chapter 415 Cleaning Fees
"Haha..." Zhang Han laughed, "Isn't it delicious?"
Meng Yi nodded vigorously, and after swallowing the stinky tofu in his mouth, he put a piece of stinky tofu into his mouth again, without any room to speak.
Zhang Han laughed again and said, "Boss, take twenty portions of stinky tofu to the tavern over there."
Then he took out some coins and handed them to the stall owner.
"Thank you, sir." When the stall owner saw the money, he knew it was just a lot more and thanked him immediately.
In fact, even if Zhang Han didn't give it, the stall owner wouldn't dare to say anything, but Zhang Han didn't think it was necessary.
Meng Yi walked into the tavern with Zhang Han while eating stinky tofu, and immediately smelled a lot of aromas, not only the aroma of wine, but also the aroma of various snacks, as well as the unique aroma of stinky tofu.
The most important thing is that no one comes to greet them in the pub here. If you want to drink whatever you want, you can just go to the counter and ask for it, and then find a seat by yourself.
"Why haven't I discovered such a good place before?" Meng Yi said.
"This is the tavern opened by my husband." Zhang Han said, "It's more of a bar than a tavern.
This place is for people like us to drink and chat during the day, and at night it is for a group of young people to relax.
Not only are there drinks here, but there are also fruits, snacks, and most importantly, there are songs and dances to add to the fun. At night, the lights here are colorful, and the place is also equipped with electric lights, and beautiful women add to the fun. It is simply a paradise for men. "
Meng Yi frowned slightly and said, "Why would you, sir, open such a tavern? Don't the princesses and the others come forward to stop it?"
"Why did you step in to stop him? Did he do anything illegal? On the contrary, I think this is a good thing."
"Is this still a good thing?" Meng Yi looked at Zhang Han in confusion.
Zhang Han smiled and said, "Of course it's a good thing. I'll bring you here tonight and you'll find out."
"Okay, I would like to know what's so good about this place?" Meng Yi said.
"Then it's settled, let's go to the counter to get some drinks."
Immediately, Zhang Han brought Meng Yi to the counter.
"Waiter, bring out the wine I kept."
When the waiter saw it was Zhang Han, he immediately beamed and said, "General Zhang, please wait a moment."
After a while, a jar of fine wine was brought to the counter.
"General Zhang, this is what you didn't finish last time. Should I open it for you now, or should I take it to your seat?" the waiter asked.
"Go to your seat and get us a big bowl and a wine glass." Zhang Han said.
"okay."
Because there were not many people during the day, the waiter helped Zhang Han find a large table, and then placed the wine, wine glasses and large bowls on the table.
Zhang Han took out five cents and handed it to the waiter, saying, "This is the cleaning fee. Please give it to the cleaning lady for me."
"No." The waiter took the five cents with a smile.
After the waiter left, Meng Yi asked: "Why did you give him the money? Isn't cleaning the hotel something that the pub should do?"
"You don't understand this," Zhang Han said, "Anyone can enter the tavern, and it's free, and you don't even have to spend a penny.
But if you want to sit at this table, or any other table, you have to pay a cleaning fee because someone cleans this table for you.
Because the bar didn't charge you, but you made the table dirty, which was very inappropriate, so the husband asked some older people to help clean up.
These five cents are for them. After we leave, we don't need to take care of it anymore. Someone will naturally help us clean it up. "
"Then why don't we just put it away ourselves? In this way, the guests won't be able to pay an extra five cents." Meng Yi said.
"Hahaha..." Zhang Han said with a smile, "Someone once said that, but in the end they were slapped in the face.
Anyone who comes here to drink doesn't want to have fun and drink to their heart's content. Who cares about small details like cleaning.
Once you fail to clean up, or are complained by the next guest, the fee you pay is not just five cents.
What's more, no one who can come here would be willing to part with these five cents. Even the wine here costs at least five cents a cup, and it's just beer."
"A cup of beer actually costs five cents. Sir, this is a money grab." Meng Yi was immediately shocked.
Zhang Han rolled his eyes and said, "Since you, sir, heard this, I can only say that you are a very incompetent businessman.
When people get rich and have money, they have to spend it instead of keeping it at home. This is very detrimental to the development of business. Only when the money is spent can businessmen make money.
When businessmen make money, they will expand their business, recruit people, raise wages, and the country will be able to collect higher taxes.
Five cents, if you think you are robbing money, it is because you are outside, but if you bring five cents to the village, it is just a bowl of noodles. "
"A bowl of noodles in Xianyang City costs two cents now. It costs one cent elsewhere. Why does it cost five cents here? Don't you care about such a high price?"
"Why do you care, sir?" Zhang Han said, "If you don't interfere with the market price, it's best not to interfere. As long as the people can accept it, it means there is no problem with the price.
And the prices are also divided into affordable prices and luxury prices.
Rich people want to save face, and the higher the price, the better. He doesn't want to eat anything that is too cheap.
Even if we eat this stinky tofu for three yuan per penny, rich people can eat it for one penny and three taels of silver or thirty taels of silver. "
"Fuck you." Meng Yi was so frightened that he said the quintessence of Chinese culture.
"Are they crazy? It's just a piece of stinky tofu. Do you need to waste it so much?"
"You don't understand this. The richer people are, the more they pay attention to noodles. Let's talk about this stinky tofu. It will choose the best beans, use the best water to grind them into tofu, and then use the best chefs to make them. Make it the smelliest stinky tofu.
Not only that, the sauce used in the stinky tofu is also top-notch. To put it harshly, they eat better than His Majesty. "Zhang Han said.
"Damn it, they dare to go beyond the rules. It's really abominable." Meng Yi said angrily.
"If you think so, then what do you do with so much money?" Zhang Han said, "Sir, the money you earn is used for consumption. If you don't consume it, then what do you need so much money for?"
People in ancient times only knew how to save money to buy land and then farm it. This did not bring any benefits except getting a little food every year.
Therefore, after the imperial court only collected a little more grain tax every year, it got nothing, and the treasury was naturally very empty.
But if the people use this money for consumption, isn’t it promoting business development?
Workers earn so much money to improve their lives.
Businessmen, they make so much money for enjoyment.
If you don't let businessmen enjoy it, why should businessmen make so much money? "
