On the first day of opening, there were almost no bad reviews. All the prepared vegetables sent by the supplier in the morning were purchased, and an extra batch was sent in the afternoon.
I didn't expect the business to be so good. The stove in the kitchen never stopped and the fire kept burning all day long.
Not only that, according to Su Wan's suggestion, Chenglou also has a delivery service, which can deliver food to your door. Even if there is no place in the store, you don't have to wait, the food can be prepared and delivered to your home.
This business model is unique and novel in Xiangzhou. Less than half a month after it went online, all other restaurants felt threatened. Chenglou took over all their business, and no customers came.
On the other hand, Chenglou has been packed with people for days, and the food delivery is also very popular.
Su Yun's Chenglou is open until midnight because there are no curfews in Xiangzhou. Some people can still have a delicious meal even if they are hungry in the middle of the night.
Some people, even if they live at the gate of the city, will eagerly walk for half an hour just to have a bite of Chenglou's food.
Colleagues looked anxious and asked someone to buy Chenglou's food to study. The spicy food and unique sauce in it could not be reproduced at all. They had no idea what raw materials were used.
Moreover, Su Yun alone controls the cultivation of chili peppers, chili noodles and chili sauce, as well as the making and pickling methods of chopped chili sauce. Only he knows the recipe of the sauce, not Su Wan.
If those colleagues wanted to find out the recipe, they would have nowhere to start from Chenglou’s staff unless they approached Su Yun, but Su Yun was not a fool. In other words, it would be extremely difficult for them to replicate Chenglou’s taste. .
The only one that is not affected is probably Yueman Xilou, but it is still affected to some extent.
Yueman West Building is a hotel, and catering is just a side job. Now the food has been taken care of by Chenglou. Many customers who stay at Yueman West Building will eagerly go to Chenglou for three meals. If there is no space, they will order delivery. Come to Yue Man West Building.
As a result, the kitchen in Yue Man West Building became quiet overnight, and the cooks gathered together to chat with nothing to do.
Shopkeeper Luo has already begun to think about whether to lay off a few employees or something.
As expected, he is a disciple of the church, starving his master to death!
However, the accommodation business of Yueman Xilou is still very stable. They are originally in the business of rich people, and there are still many rich people who should come to stay at his house.
Su Yun made a lot of money in half a month. He looked at the running water in the account book and showed a very worthless smile.
He, Su Yun, had finally stood up.
"Come on, Su Yi, let's see clearly. I can earn so much money in just half a month. Didn't you still play the game before? Are you still playing the game now?"
Su Yun had a grudge. He had bought Su Wan a birthday gift before, but because he was short of money in business, he had to borrow the money to buy the hairpin from Su Yi in a cowardly manner.
Now, he has also made money, and he no longer has to laugh at him.
Su Yi was speechless at this. He glanced at Su Yun lightly, reached out and put his account book aside.
"First, let's pay off the one thousand five hundred taels we owe Yu Yan Tang."
Su Yun opened Chenglou and borrowed 1,500 taels from Yuyantang's account. Now Su Yi has no face to say it out. It's really disturbing.
Su Yun was choked up immediately, and he hid the account book behind his back:
"What's the rush? I can pay it all back next month, and there's still a lot left over!"
Seeing how he was pretending to be calm, Su Wan laughed unkindly.
"It's okay, fourth brother. Don't be in a hurry to pay it back. First, stabilize Chenglou's business. There must be money in the account."
"Wan Wan is still considerate, unlike you, who makes me angry every day!" Su Yun smiled at Su Wan, and when he turned to look at Su Yi, he gave him a fierce look.
Su Yi said it didn't matter, he didn't care, he just didn't talk to him, which made Su Yun very angry.
Chenglou is now popular and has become a popular restaurant in Xiangzhou City. In just half a month, the net profit is as much as a thousand taels of silver. If we go to Kyoto in the future, it will be even more.
Of course, Su Wan has not been idle during these days. She said before that she would set up an escort team. Now she has selected a yard as the residence of the escort team and has also posted an employment notice. It will be signed by her uncle. Bian is responsible for interviews.
They are all big men. It is always inappropriate for her to go to a girl's house for an interview.
The employment requirements are as follows: men, between the ages of twenty and thirty-five, who must be proficient in martial arts, physically strong, and have both arms and legs.
The next task of the escort team is to escort Yuyantang's goods to and from various state capitals. Because it is a long journey, the commission is relatively high.
Food and accommodation are included, and a commission of six taels of silver per person per month is provided. The contract must be signed for five years, and hundreds of people are recruited. The quota is first come, first served, while supplies last.
Recruiting a hundred people only costs 600 taels of silver a month as commission. In order to ensure the safety of the goods, this amount of money is nothing. Moreover, Su Wan's move is mainly to cultivate his own connections. If there is chaos, it can be done. Deployed to protect family members.
Because of the war on the front line, the price of rice grain has now increased, and Su Wan has bought back a large amount of grain at a high price. With so many people at home eating, and so many workers to feed, it is not a small sum.
Fortunately, her businesses are high-profit and low-cost. Even worse, there is still income from Bingjitang. The monthly revenue is several thousand taels of silver, which is enough for their family to live well.
In the second half of the year, I will take the time to visit my elder brother and bring him some rice. The war on the front line is tense, and many refugees at the border have gone south to escape the war. Prices are rising everywhere, especially food.
Let alone prosperous places like Xiangzhou and Zhongzhou, the lives of the people in the Xuanhe River Basin are probably even more difficult.
When the time comes, she will go there to open a porridge shack and give porridge to the refugees, thinking that she is doing good deeds and gaining fame and virtue.
Spring is the flood season again. When the floods break out, there are complaints everywhere, and many refugees’ homes have been washed away. Fortunately, Su Jing has gritted her teeth and supervised the construction and emergency repairs of the dams even at the end of the year. Compared with the situation in previous years, the situation is still better. Much better.
When there was a flood and it was the cold season of spring, many people contracted coughs. The medicinal materials Su Jing brought here worked well and saved many people's lives.
The people of Xuanhe saw some hope through him and thought that they had a good official who could do practical things.
…
By the end of June, Su Yun's Chenglou had stabilized and business was doing well every day. Su Yun was so busy that he couldn't leave his feet off the ground and wished he could live in Chenglou.
Su Yi is relatively free. He can open his shop whenever he wants, and the people who engage in art are all weirdos.
Su Wan even took the time to accompany him to the layman Qi'an.
Qiuniang has also returned from other places, and has successively opened three Bingjitang stores. She will rest for two months before continuing to open branches in other states.
It was time for Su Wan to set off on a day to go to the Guitar prefectures in the Jiangnan region to work on the Yuyantang branch. By the way, he went to Youxian County to see his eldest brother.
During this journey, at Su Yi's strong request, he would accompany her throughout the journey.
But Su Yun was so envious that he was now trapped by Chenglou and couldn't get away, otherwise he would have to go with him.
