The atmosphere instantly became very silent.
Along the way, Duan Wenjun and Yuan Gonggun said nothing.
Perhaps, this kind of problem that has been raised to the level of the country makes them feel that it is too heavy.
Duan Wenjun asked Yuan Gungun to lie down in the car for a while, then he drove the carriage alone and walked slowly towards Wangjiang City.
As the evening breeze blew, Duan Wenjun's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
It has been a few months since I came to this world, and I thought I knew something about it.
But at this moment, I discovered that it seemed that I had been peeping through the pipe.
In this world with backward transportation and backward information, it is so difficult to collect more information.
If you do not get enough information to support it, it is very likely to affect many of your judgments.
In particular, many new things in Duanjiabao are not well integrated with this world for the time being. If you don't have enough information, you might cause some trouble.
Just like what happened in Yuxing Mountain.
Before, Duan Wenjun always felt that Dashun should be the most powerful existence in this world.
His writing style was prosperous, and he regarded himself as a celestial country, which was somewhat similar to China in his previous life.
However, after listening to Yuan Gongun's words, he couldn't help but become silent and think a little more.
Emperor Gaozu died in battle and had to pay compensation year after year. This is such a shame and humiliation.
Yuxing Shancheng was a taboo and a shame to Dashun, but Dashun did not resist the Yan State, which also proved that Dashun may not be as powerful as imagined.
In other words, strong on the outside but dry on the inside.
Domestic banditry continues, and neighboring countries continue to oppress. It seems that Dashun today seems to be suffering from internal and external troubles.
He suddenly understood why Chai Jingyun attached so much importance to his "carrot and stick" policy, and it was quickly put into operation after receiving the imperial edict.
He also suddenly understood why Chai Jingyun said that day that he had a heavy burden and could not make any mistakes, and even refused to let him interfere with the Shadow Sect.
Because Emperor Shun urgently needed to see the results of the "carrot and stick" operation, and the situation of Dashun was urgently needed to change.
However, there seem to be too many taboos in Dashun nowadays.
The Fourth Prince is taboo, Yuxing Mountain is taboo, the Shadow Sect is taboo...
Although it is not very honorable to mention these things, making them a taboo in Dashun and preventing people from discussing them seems to indicate that Dashun has gone on a deformed path.
There is even a suspicion of concealing illness and avoiding medical treatment.
People are not allowed to talk about disgraceful things, but can speech really be banned?
When we arrived at the city gate, it was already bright.
After not coming back for just over a month, the soldiers guarding the gate seemed to have been replaced by many unfamiliar faces.
But it can be seen that the soldiers guarding the gate at least look much more energetic than before.
When they returned to Duan Mansion, Duan Xiaoxing immediately greeted him with an excited look on his face.
Cuiping was busy arranging for breakfast for everyone, but Duan Xiaoxing hurriedly pulled Duan Wenjun to the backyard.
The pepper tree in the backyard has now grown to half a person's height and is lush and green. There are still many peppers as thick as little fingers standing on the branches.
Red, green, yellow.
All peppers.
Duan Wenjun couldn't help but reveal a bright smile.
It seems that the cultivation of peppers has been successful.
Duan Xiaoxing said that this was the first time he had seen the fruit of something growing towards the sky. Could it be a divine object?
Duan Wenjun immediately laughed and said that it was not a divine thing, how could it be so delicious?
In this world and in this kind of place, it is not an exaggeration to say that chili pepper is a sacred thing.
When the batch of peppers in the backyard matures, Duanjia Restaurant can launch many new dishes.
Of course, the most important thing is that by collecting seeds this time, we can basically plant them on a large scale.
At that time, a chili base can be planted in Duanjiabao, and a steady supply of dried chili raw materials can be provided to the wine shop.
In this way, the mandarin duck hotpot in the wine shop does not need to be so limited.
Coming out of the backyard, Cuiping's breakfast was ready.
After a few people had breakfast in a hurry, Duan Wenjun took Yuan Gungun and Duan Xiaoxing directly to the Duan Family Restaurant.
It's still early at this moment, the Duan Family Restaurant hasn't opened yet, and everyone is still packing up.
Seeing Duan Wenjun's arrival, shopkeeper Huang Xiaoming hurriedly led everyone out to welcome him.
Duan Wenjun first introduced Yuan Gonggun to everyone, and then ordered Liu Qiang to quickly arrange a table of specialty dishes for Yuan Gonggun to taste.
Liu Qiang and his son Liu Chang went down immediately to make arrangements. Within a moment, four hot dishes, four cold dishes, and a hot pot were served.
Yuan Gungun had long heard from Mo Shoucheng about the delicacies of Duan's wine shop. He just saw it today and smelled the aroma. He immediately started to devour it without caring about the image.
Duan Wenjun has not been to the wine shop for a long time. This visit made everyone very happy.
Waving his hand, Duan Wenjun motioned for everyone to sit down around the table.
Some time ago, they had heard about the leak of secrets from the wine shop, and they were very worried about it from the people who came to deliver the wine.
Naturally, he was very concerned at this moment, and he was relieved when Duan Wenjun said that everything had been resolved.
After all, Duan Ji Restaurant’s shabu knives are one of the important reasons why Duan Ji Restaurant’s business is so booming.
Nowadays, the business of the wine shop is booming, with an income of several hundred taels of silver every day.
Putting aside the cost, there would be a net profit of at least two hundred taels.
For the Duan family wine shop, which had never made two hundred taels a year before, this was something they had never dared to imagine before.
However, the wine shop's business has now reached a bottleneck.
Although there is an endless stream of customers every day, it is always full from the time the store opens to closing.
But it is very difficult to create greater income.
The reason is simple. The wine shop is so big and there are only so many seats, so naturally it cannot accommodate more people.
No matter how hard they try, it will be in vain if the wine shop cannot accommodate more customers.
Besides, no matter how much the guest ordered, as long as he hasn't finished eating, he can't be rushed away.
This makes the originally few seats appear more compact, and the income will be limited.
During this time, Huang Xiaoming has been thinking about this issue.
However, Duan Wenjun never came back, and it was difficult for him to make a decision.
Huang Xiaoming felt that since the Duan's Shao Knife Set was bundled for sale and the sales volume was limited, it could still sell so well.
So now that seats are limited, we can also consider this format.
If you need to eat at a restaurant, each table must exceed the minimum consumption. This will ensure that the income per table will not be too low.
However, he was a little undecided.
After all, the Duan Family Restaurant started off as a small business. If this was done, the income would definitely increase a lot, but it would hurt the hearts of the regular patrons from the neighborhood.
If not, it might ruin the reputation of my Duan Family Winery.
Duan Wenjun frowned slightly, stared at Huang Xiaoming, and his expression became extremely solemn, "Shopkeeper Huang, you have thought very carefully. Fortunately, you did not set a minimum consumption for each table."
Huang Xiaoming looked at Duan Wenjun and bowed respectfully, "Please ask the Shaodong family to teach me."
"You are an old man of our Duan family, so of course this teaching is out of the question." Duan Wenjun shook his head, "But you should know that when we open our doors to do business, integrity comes first, and we must always have a grateful heart. "
"In the past few years, although our Duanjia Liquor Shop did not make much money, the business has continued to operate without closing down. Why is this? This is because the support of the old customers in the neighborhood helped to hold it together."
"Nowadays, the business of the wine shop is booming. In order to make more money, we set up these dining steps, which is equivalent to keeping these people out."
"These old neighborhood customers who have been supporting us all don't have very wealthy families. If we set up a level for food consumption, I'm afraid many people will not be able to afford it."
"Since we are open to do business, our principles and bottom line are one thing, and making more or less is another matter. If we forget our roots and bottom line just to make money, then the business will definitely not last long."
Hearing Duan Wenjun's words, Huang Xiaoming nodded immediately, secretly glad that he did not make a blind decision, but waited until Duan Wenjun discussed it.
At this time, Duan Wenjun stared at Huang Xiaoming again and smiled, "Shopkeeper Huang, you are right. Our Duanjia Restaurant can have such a business now, and it is almost reaching its limit. So I have an idea, without damaging Under the premise of keeping old customers, we will expand our business. This is why I came to you today."
