For each person in each game, the gambling house will draw two hundred coins.
In this way, the consumption threshold has been lowered a lot, and ladies, noble ladies, noble brothers, etc. who do not have a lot of money per month can also come and play a few games.
The five gambling houses are full every day.
However, the gambling house did not provide meals, only tea and snacks. Later, the gambling house signed a contract with Li Qiao's family to supply duck products. The gambling house provided an additional snack, but the gambling house still did not provide meals.
People who go to gambling houses to spend money have to solve their own food problems.
Some people who are addicted to playing are reluctant to leave at mealtime, so they take snacks from the gambling house to satisfy their hunger, or ask their servants to buy some food.
Some people just left and went out to eat.
Therefore, from the three factors of difficulty in eating, large number of people, and lack of money, these five gambling houses are somewhat similar to those in the inner city.
…
Li Qiao quickly told Sheng Hong his plan, and Sheng Hong was very supportive. Sheng Hong greeted Sheng Jun and the eldest prince, while Li Qiao went to find the new commander of the military and horse station.
With the help of the commander, he quickly got a takeout menu for restaurants all over the city.
He asked Li Man to go to the printing workshop to print multiple copies of the menu, and then he sent these menus to five gambling houses and various government offices in the inner city.
At the same time, new Royal Logistics stalls were set up at the entrances of the five gambling houses.
So, when the gambling house opened on a new day and the first batch of customers entered the gambling house, they soon discovered that there were many pieces of rice paper as high as one person on the walls of the gambling house.
Taking a closer look, all the words written on the rice paper were restaurants/restaurants for eating.
Behind each restaurant/restaurant is written not only the address of the restaurant/restaurant, but also the signature dishes and prices of the restaurant/restaurant.
"...What's going on?"
Someone casually stopped the guy from the gambling house and asked, pointing to the menu on the wall.
"Sir, the names of restaurants in the city are posted on the wall. If you are hungry later, you can ask the Royal Logistics errands to buy the meals for you according to the meals written on this menu. "
"However, if the journey is long and the delay is long, the taste of the food will definitely be a little worse."
The guy explained with a smile.
"That's it..."
The customer understood, but was shocked.
There are all places to eat in the city, including large restaurants and small roadside restaurants.
He couldn't help but stare at the menu carefully. To be honest, even if he had lived in Shengjing for half his life, if you asked him how many restaurants and restaurants there were in Shengjing, he really couldn't answer.
Now that it's posted, you might as well take a few more looks.
The other customers had the same idea as this customer, especially the girls and boys. Out of curiosity, they stared at the wall and took a closer look. Their appetite was aroused by this look.
If you only list the signature dishes of a restaurant, many people will not feel anything, after all, they have just had breakfast.
But now that all the signature dishes of restaurants in the city are listed, with addresses and prices also noted, many people can't help but make calculations in their minds even though it's only nine o'clock in the morning and they've just had breakfast.
It turns out that there are restaurants/restaurants selling this dish in the city?
Huh? The name of this dish is very novel, I have never tasted it before.
Eh? There is actually a restaurant. Because it was far away, I wanted to try it but was too lazy to make a special trip. I didn’t expect to see it today.
…
Unmarried girls, young men, married women, and husbands have already occupied half of the gambling house. For these people, the temptation of delicious food is quite great.
Moreover, due to the limited area of the gambling house, neither the private rooms nor the lobby can accommodate too many people. Therefore, the guests who come to spend money, even if they are wealthy people, will not bring a bunch of servants with them. They are basically just Bring one or two servants to serve you.
In this case, if she/they want to eat a lot, they can only buy one.
But now the stall of Royal Logistics is at the door, so after looking at the menu on the wall, several customers immediately came to the door of the casino and asked the errands of Royal Logistics at the door to buy meals for them.
For some restaurants that are far away, you have to order at this time, otherwise you will miss your lunch.
As a result, the Royal Logistics stalls at the entrance of the five gambling houses started doing business as soon as they opened their stalls.
Throughout the day, the business at the five stalls was good, with the lowest number being over 30 orders and the high number being over 80 orders.
This is still the first day.
On the second day, there were many more people ordering.
On the first day, many people were waiting and watching, and they had already thought about how to solve the problem of eating before entering the casino, so there were few people ordering.
But those customers who ordered takeout yesterday brought their food directly to the card table, and the various aromas wafted around, which immediately whetted the appetites of many people.
As a result, many people came to Royal Logistics to place orders early today.
Therefore, on the second day, the orders at the five stalls increased a lot, and each place reached 100 orders.
The number of officials in the inner city is limited, but those gathered in the five gambling houses are the best-off people in Quan Shengjing.
Regardless of whether it is a game for the rich and noble or for ordinary people, those who can enter the gambling house to spend money will not feel sorry for the errand fees.
As a result, orders from the five stalls increased sharply.
Sheng Hong simply removed other stalls so that he could transfer manpower to the five stalls in the gambling house.
Soon at the end of the month, the person in charge of Royal Logistics counted the accounts for the month and was immediately shocked. Not only did he make a profit this month, but he also earned more than three hundred taels of silver?
What a happy event!
The chief immediately informed Sheng Hong of this great joy, and Sheng Hong was also very happy.
Three hundred taels of silver is nothing, but this is the first time Royal Logistics has made money!
After suffering losses for so long, he finally doesn’t have to pay back money, which is great!
So, when Li Qiao got off work the next day, he brought back twenty pieces of materials, which were rewarded by Sheng Hong for turning Royal Logistics from a loss to a profit.
Tao Zhu looked at the twenty pieces of brand-new materials, shook them out one by one, looked at them carefully, and said, "Let Brother Qian choose first, and let him make a few sets of small clothes for Erbao."
Zheng Qianqian had already given birth to another fat boy. Zheng Qianqian was looking forward to having a brother or a daughter, but she gave birth to another son.
But let’s just say a son is a son, he has a strong skin and is easy to raise.
Li Qiao had no objection to this: "Okay, you can send it over."
Zheng Qianqian is not yet pregnant.
He added another sentence: "Brother Xia is about to give birth, let Brother Xia take a pick too."
"Okay." Tao Zhu said and asked Li Man and others to carry the cloth to the small courtyard where Zheng Qianqian lived.
He also asked someone to call Li Xia over.
Zheng Qianqian and Li Xia are both people who love beauty. Although there is no shortage of materials, they are still very happy to see the beautiful materials from Sheng Hongshang.
They each picked three horses and praised Li Qiao again and again.
In the past, the reason why Royal Logistics suffered losses was because their brother-in-law/uncle didn't take it seriously. Now, once they do, it only takes a month for Royal Logistics to make money.
so amazing!
They just said, their brother-in-law/Uncle Qiao is so powerful, how can he do a loss-making business.
Tao Zhu returned to the small courtyard where he and Li Qiao lived and told Li Qiao what they had said. After hearing this, Li Qiao couldn't help but click his tongue: "Thanks to everyone having a mouth that loves delicious food, otherwise, No matter how hard I think about it, I can’t revitalize logistics.”
"For example, Xin Zhi, he orders at least three orders at noon every day. Once he ordered five orders at once. He wanted to eat everything."
"...He eats so much?" Tao Zhu was surprised.
"He actually has an average appetite, but he can't help but want to eat a lot. For example, if he wants to eat a certain dim sum from this restaurant, he will order one portion. If he wants to drink some soup from that restaurant, he will order one portion. If he still lacks a staple food, he will order another portion. If you suddenly want to eat something after a while, you can't let your stomach feel uncomfortable."
"However, we have to thank him for his luxury, otherwise the Royal Logistics would really be in trouble."
"That's true."
Tao Zhu nodded, but quickly said: "Don't feel bad about the money. If you want to eat something, just order it. Our family is not short of money."
"Don't worry, I won't treat you badly." Li Qiao agreed with a smile.
The weather has been hot recently, and Sheng Hong returned to the harem before noon. He did not eat in the palace, but went back to the household department for lunch.
After getting the inner city officials to develop the habit of ordering takeout, he no longer invited people to drink. He was never picky about what he ate. The food in Hubu was better than that in Hanlin Academy, and he ate well.
As for the current situation of Royal Logistics, he is actually still dissatisfied. He earns three hundred taels a month. Even if it increases in the future, it will probably only be about one thousand taels.
However, he had no other choice.
The only place in Shengjing that resembled the inner city was a gambling house, and he couldn't find a third place.
As far as the current situation is concerned, Royal Logistics' original errand boys are enough to handle daily orders. Shenghong does not need to recruit additional ordinary people as delivery boys.
Therefore, if he wants to solve the employment problem, he still has to find another way.
Although he has already arranged work for Zhang Laosan and his gang, in order to deal with various emergencies, it is best for his family to add a new business...
Li Qiao was thinking when suddenly, Li Xiaorui's voice came from outside the courtyard: "Uncle! Uncle! Uncle Zhu, uncle!"
The loud voice immediately attracted the attention of Li Qiao and Tao Zhu, and the two of them walked towards the entrance of the small courtyard together.
Before taking two steps, Li Xiaorui's little body appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.
Seeing the two uncles, Li Xiaorui immediately said: "Uncle, Uncle Zhu! Uncle Yunfan picked up the kite belonging to the grandson of the eldest prince's family in front of him. He is unwilling to return it to them. Now Uncle Changfeng is trying to persuade him!"
Li Qiao: "?"
Tao Zhu: "..."
The couple looked at each other, then quickened their pace. Li Qiao said, "Xiao Rui, aren't you three playing slide at the door?"
When he came back from get off work just now, these three little guys were playing scooters at the door.
The east courtyard of his house has not yet been repaired, and the west courtyard is in a garden style. Therefore, when these three little guys want to play scooters, they always go to the gate.
The road at the door is paved with bluestone slabs, which is not absolutely smooth, but it is enough for riding a scooter.
The summer was hot, but the scooters carried the wind when they went out. The three little guys loved the feeling of being wrapped in the wind, so their enthusiasm for playing scooters never dissipated.
But now little fat friend Li Yunfan actually picked up the kite floating in the front yard?
When Li Qiao and Tao Zhu came to the gate with Li Xiaorui in their arms, sure enough, Li Yunfan's little chubby friend was holding a red dragonfly-shaped kite that was taller than him in his paws. He was looking at it with interest, raising his little arms He seemed to be studying how to fly the kite.
Li Changfeng's little chubby friend stood beside him, holding the kite's reel with his two little paws.
