This question is very serious. During the Jiajing period, the consumption power of money was very strong. A meal in an ordinary restaurant only cost one tael of silver.
Even in a top-notch restaurant like Taibaiju, you can set a table with wine and food for ten taels of silver, including the reward! After such a comparison, you will know that compared with the top brothels, top restaurants will never be as good as brothels.
The silver card with a pre-stored one hundred taels is quite scary, not to mention the gold card with two hundred taels and the gem card with five hundred taels? This is simply...unheard of!
Shi Zhenxiang was also stunned by Zhang Tianci's sexy moves. He shook his head and muttered to himself for a long time.
"You're so poor! You're so poor! How could there be so many fools doing such a thing?"
Zhang Tianci was not in a hurry. He glanced at the note again and unleashed his final move.
"Everyone, please note that although this card is issued at Zuixian Tower, it is a joint card between Zuixian Tower and Chunyan Tower!"
Everyone was stunned: "What is a co-branded card?"
Zhang Tianci waved his hand and his voice was loud and domineering.
"The money saved in this card is stored in the joint accounts of Zuixian Tower and Chunyan Tower! The account books between the two houses are stamped and confirmed by each other. Users can use the card to make consumption transfers between the two houses!
Every purchase will be stamped and confirmed by both parties to ensure that the account will never be wrong! From now on, whether you come to Zuixian Tower or Chunyan Tower, you no longer need to bring cash or banknotes, just take a card! "
In this way, the wealthy businessmen would just pay it back, but the powerful officials would be tempted first! It should be noted that they also like to visit brothels, and many of them are frequent visitors to Chunyan Tower. But their identities are inevitably kept secret when they go to a brothel.
Not only afraid of outsiders knowing, but also afraid of family knowing, exchanging silver notes was not very convenient in Jiajing Dynasty, and it was mainly used for large-scale business transactions. They cannot always carry a pile of money to spend, so they often worry about the checkout.
Liu Tong, who was among the crowd and joined in the fun, felt the same way. He finally gritted his teeth and showed off, and almost had his secret revealed by asking the butler to pay the bill. To this day, Madam often suddenly asks in bed, "Is the girl from Chunyan Tower pretty?"
Once when he was half asleep and half awake, he almost told the truth. He was so scared that he broke into a cold sweat. He couldn't sleep that night. He was so sleepy that he dozed off on duty the next day. He was severely reprimanded by his colleague who always disliked him. .
It would be much more convenient if you have a card! The card was processed at Zuixian Tower, it was fair and aboveboard! Is it an honorable thing for me to go out to drink and eat with friends? The money in the card was spent at Zuixianlou. Is this an honest matter?
Liu Tong couldn't help but feel tempted. He touched the money in his waist, and then he was frustrated to find that he didn't bring that much money today. In fact, he had never brought so much money with him on any given day. Who is a decent person who carries a hundred taels of silver around without fear of being robbed?
However, Liu Tong soon discovered that there were too many crooked people in the crowd.
"My master applies for a silver card! Can I go into the building to eat right away?" A servant pushed his way to the front and asked Zhang Tianci.
Zhang Tianci nodded: "The first three people to apply for a card, no matter what card they apply for, will be rewarded for in-store consumption! The subsequent applications will be based on the card grade and order! Different grades have higher priority! Cards of the same grade will be applied for Order first!”
As soon as he said this, the whole place was boiling. The clever servant had already handed over one hundred taels of silver and got a small polished iron plate. With difficulty, under the push of the people behind him, he protected his master according to Zhang Tianci's instructions. , escorted by the guys into Zuixian Tower.
"Master, we are number one. We can get in by applying for a silver card! Applying for a silver card for those who come after us may be difficult!"
The owner was very satisfied: "I told you that you are smart, and I promoted you from the sweeping team to the follower team in vain! Do a good job!"
"Thank you for your cultivation. I will do my best to ensure that I can eat and play first!"
The silver medals for the top three were all snatched up in the blink of an eye. The people behind them couldn't help but hesitate. If they apply for a silver card, can they guarantee that they will be able to eat today?
During the hesitation, someone finally broke the deadlock: "My master wants to apply for a gold card!"
Zhang Tianci was overjoyed and shouted to the loyal servant who was buried in the crowd:
"Everyone, please make way and let the person applying for the gold card come up first and think about it first, okay?"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the few servants crowded in front of him were immediately divided.
Knowing that my husband would not be willing to get a gold card, I left in anger. I knew that my husband would definitely not give up, so he was active and enthusiastic.
"Why should you let him apply first? My master also wants to apply for a gold card. Please apply for me first!"
"That's right, apply for me first. I'm in front of him. My master also applies for a gold card!"
A servant of a wealthy businessman was squeezed in at the end. He came with a death order. He still remembered the twitching of his beard when the master spoke.
"Laifu, you know I've been doing business in the capital for so many years, and I've had enough of the cowardice of these officials.
What the hell are you looking like? Whose money comes from the right way? If you don't become a corrupt official, how can you come to a place like this to eat, drink and have fun?
Master, all my money was earned from legitimate business. Not only do I have to support them, but I also have to be bullied by them! Now that my son has won the Jinshi, I am not afraid of them anymore!
Come on, no matter what today, I will step on the heads of these guys and get a meal! "
Inspired by the master's indomitable spirit, the servant raised his hands high and solemnly shouted the strongest voice in the audience.
"Get out of the way - let me pass - my master wants to apply for a gem card! Gem card... stone card... card..."
The crowd calmed down instantly. Everyone was shocked by this momentum, and actually gave way unconsciously. Under the astonished gazes of everyone, this servant slapped two gold ingots on the table in front of Zhang Tianci's enthusiastic little face!
"Gem card!"
This is how you get your first gem card! The remaining wealthy businessmen and powerful men fell into silence. Those who apply for a diamond card are definitely rare, but in this case...
"I want to apply for a gold card. Hurry up. How long will it take for me to get in after I apply for the gold card? You can't wait indefinitely, right?"
Zhang Tianci read the note very professionally and dedicated himself to online customer service.
"Dear guests, in view of the reception capacity of Zuixian Tower, we can only accommodate a hundred tables today. Considering that it is unlikely that everyone will accept sharing tables for food and drinks, we will only handle 100 cards today.
If you want to continue applying, you can apply for a card first and wait for consumption tomorrow. Before a hundred cards are processed, those with gem cards can go in first, because these are top-level cards, and they have priority even in order.
The first eighty-seven people with gold cards can enter first, and the rest can only enter after an hour when they are sure that no gem cards appear. As for the silver card, you have to wait for an hour to confirm that no one has applied for the gold card, and you can enter in order. "
The powerful and wealthy businessmen in the back are making nervous calculations. The loyal servants in the front have low education and no mathematical ability. They can only compete for favorable positions and wait for the master's instructions.
This is a game problem and not simple. Theoretically speaking, if you apply for a gem card, you will definitely be able to enter; considering that there are not many people who apply for gem cards, the probability of getting in if you apply for a gold card is also very high, but you have to quickly occupy the front order.
But in this way, there will inevitably be more people applying for gold cards, and the chances of getting a silver card will become very small. Then some of those who originally planned to apply for a silver card will probably grit their teeth and just get one. Forget about the gold card!
However, if those with silver cards become gold cards, the number of gold cards will inevitably increase, resulting in stampedes and runs. This is because they have not been able to get ahead. Those who are behind and have gold cards will not be safe, and may be forced to upgrade to gems. Card! And in this way, the gold card at the back will be even more unsafe!
A dizzying calculation, although it took a short time, it was very taxing on the brain. The wealthy businessmen with the highest mathematical IQs of that era were the first to react.
"Apply for a gold card, do it quickly! Be among the first eighty-seven!"
"Quick, grab it! How many places are you already? Fifty-six? Then what are you waiting for? Grab it for me!"
"We can't lose this face today. I am the number one food eater every year, and this year will be no exception! I am already seventy-two, idiot!"
"No, Master, there are several people in front of me. They are already eighty-three. I can't squeeze through!"
"Damn it, I'm trying my best. My surname is Zhu. I can't embarrass my ancestors. Give me a gem card!"
"My mother's surname is Zhu, it's amazing... Ah, no, no, I didn't say that, you heard wrong.
Of course the surname Zhu is great, but it’s great. You invite me first, and I’ll go home first. I won’t eat today, so I can’t lose my head just to have a meal. "
In the chaos, a hundred cards were applied for. Except for the three silver cards in front, only two unlucky people applied for silver cards and went home without tears.
Eighty-five gold cards and five diamond cards entered the Zuixian Tower one after another according to their level and order, and arrogantly ate the dishes cooked by the new God of Cookery Liu Ruyun. And they were indeed not disappointed, every one of them was extremely satisfied.
In fact, all the cards are made of iron cards and are polished very smoothly and beautifully. But the pattern on it is different. It was pressed on with three different iron seals just now.
This iron seal was a private job that Xiao Feng asked Zeng Zaoban to do. Firstly, Zeng Zaoban was indeed frightened by Xiao Feng during the last case of the female body in the dry well. Secondly, the pay for this private job was relatively generous, and it was not the same as the job at the Ministry of Industry. Conflict is readily accepted.
The blacksmith shop has made strange iron tools for Xiao Feng many times. I don’t know why Xiao Feng made so many smooth iron signs, but the work is as beautiful as Zeng Zaoban.
Finally, under the brand, Zhang Wuxin carved characters for the customers on the spot, using the Japanese dagger he captured to carve their names on the iron plate. The fonts are all handwritten and crooked, like Taoist priests drawing talismans, extremely anti-counterfeiting!
Of course, this is only superficial anti-counterfeiting. The real anti-counterfeiting of the consumer system depends on the two confirmation seals on the two accounts. The brand, the person, and the account book must correspond to each other in order to consume, and there is no mistake.
That night, Zhang Tianci called the two bosses to Zuixianju, served five dishes to them alone, and then raised their glasses to make three toasts.
"I know you both have no choice but to tolerate me for a day, so I'm very kind to you. I have ten thousand taels of silver here, so you don't have to be polite!"
