Wanping County Government.
Just after he came back from dinner in the backyard, Guo An asked Guo Erniu to put some summer ice around his apartment, and then he lay down comfortably on a deck chair, his head moving slowly, and he started to doze off!
Guo An gradually fell in love with these leisurely days.
No wonder in later generations, the end of the universe will be a temple.
Sitting leisurely in the public room all day long, like a useless person. Everything can be done by the scribes under your command. If you have any requests, just ask. The scribes below will be happy to work overtime for you.
However, it would be even better if there wasn't the 'God of Death' holding down the head!
Thinking, thinking, Guo An's thoughts began to slowly become chaotic, and his eyelids slowly closed.
Seeing Guo An's appearance, Wang Zhen, who had just come in from outside, had black lines all over his forehead.
"County Honor, County Honor..."
"ah?"
Awakened, Guo An weakly raised his head.
"Wang Dianshi, it's noon, please go and have a rest. We will continue to be busy in the afternoon!"
After saying that, Guo An continued to close his eyes.
Wang Zhen said anxiously: "Your Majesty, now all the merchants and gentry in Beiping Prefecture know about the opening of the barbecue shop.
The official even heard that several southern merchants who were about to leave got off the boat again and were waiting for the barbecue shop to open and try it out.
Now, on the first day the barbecue restaurant opens, how many people will come to eat? "
"Isn't this good?"
Guo An replied weakly, "If Wang Dianshi doesn't take a lunch break, he should keep an eye on the barbecue shop, or train the waiters in the shop!"
Seeing that Guo An hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem, Wang Zhen became even more anxious, "My lord, it's good to have more diners on the first day of the barbecue shop's opening. However, you asked someone to post a notice at the door of the shop. , 20% off on all meals and 50% off on drinks on the first day!
Doesn’t it mean that the more diners come, the more the barbecue restaurant will lose? How can a restaurant start losing a lot of money before making any money on its first day?
Moreover, this is His Highness the King of Yan’s money. If His Highness the King of Yan finds out, you will definitely be held accountable! "
"condemn?"
Guo An opened his eyes and chuckled, "Wang Dianshi, don't worry, the more diners come, the more the shop will make. As for asking for guilt? His Royal Highness, King Yan, is knowledgeable and has a long-term vision. How can he be like a commoner like you?" Don’t you know how to make money?”
Wang Zhen had a look of helplessness on his face, feeling that this Guo County Master was really crazy, daring to compensate his own King Yan in such an upright manner.
Suddenly, an angry voice came from outside the public room.
"Are you, a thief like me, saying that this king is very good at making money?"
Guo An was stunned, glanced at the closed door of the public house, and shook his head vigorously.
"It's such a hot day that I'm hallucinating because of the heat!"
Wang Zhen's expression changed slightly, "Your Highness, this matter must not be an illusion!"
With that said, regardless of Guo An's confused look, Wang Zhen hurriedly walked towards the door of the house.
"Gaji..."
Before Wang Zhen could walk over, the door of the public house was already pushed open.
Zhu Di strode in from the door with a dark face.
Upon seeing this, Guo An was so frightened that he jumped up from the recliner and looked at Zhu Di, who had an unkind expression on his face, with a sneer on his face.
"I'm here to see Your Highness. Why are you here on such a hot day?"
Zhu Di snorted coldly, "Huh, I heard that on the first day of the opening of the barbecue shop, you, the thief, will give discounts to the diners?"
Guo An quickly replied: "Your Highness is wise!"
Zhu Di was furious, "Damn it, the barbecue shop hasn't opened yet, and you, a thief, have to give me discounts. Now, I heard that dozens of Jiangnan merchants didn't leave, waiting for my barbecue shop." The restaurant is open for a meal.
In addition to the merchants in the city, how much money will the king have to pay just for the day of opening?
Moreover, I still compensate those profit-seeking profiteers! "
"Your Highness has misunderstood and will not lose money!" Guo An replied.
"Won't you lose money?"
Zhu Di sat down coldly, "Okay, I will listen to your explanation. If you can't explain it to me, I will definitely punish you!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Guo An chuckled and said quickly: "Your Highness, do you know how much a pound of pig meat costs on the market today?"
Zhu Di glared directly at Guo An. How could he know such a thing?
Guo An smiled coquettishly and said quickly: "Your Highness, one pound of high-quality pig meat in Beiping Mansion is now twenty cents.
However, one pound of high-quality pig meat can be skewered into thirty skewers. Each skewer is sold at a barbecue shop for two cents, and one pound of pig meat can be sold for sixty cents.
Therefore, even at a 20% discount, a pound of meat is still profitable. "
Of course, a pound of pig meat is only the price purchased from other butcher shops. The pig meat we collect from the people is only ten cents per pound.
In this way, the cost of His Highness's BBQ restaurant has been reduced a lot. "
Zhu Di said again: "You are a thief and a young official, and you are deceiving me. If you peel off the skin of a pig, remove the blood, and then remove the internal organs, how much meat is left?"
Guo An looked at Zhu Di with some surprise, "Your Highness, don't you know that pig skin, pig blood, pig intestines, small intestines, pig meat, and internal organs of pig can also be eaten, and they are more delicious and nutritious! "
"..."
Zhu Di, Zhu Liang, Wang Zhen and others beside him stared at each other.
"You even want to eat pig intestines?"
"certainly!"
Guo An nodded with certainty, "Your Highness, pig meat is the cheapest thing on a pig.
As for the pig skin, pig brains, pig blood, pig intestines, small intestines, pig head meat, and the internal organs of the pig that Xianguan just mentioned, they are the treasures of the pig, and the taste when cooked is unparalleled.
These are less than 300 Wen per catty, so they can't even think of buying them. "
Zhu Di opened his mouth and wanted to scold Guo Anxin for being black, but when he thought that this was his barbecue restaurant, he could only squeeze out a look of encouragement.
Zhu Liang and Wang Zhen ignored this, and agreed excitedly as if they had found a close friend.
"Your Highness, Magistrate Guo is right. He has just eaten the minced pig skin. He fried it in oil or stir-fried it. The taste of the pig skin makes Mo Jiang's mouth water just thinking about it!"
"Your Highness, I also heard an old doctor say that what you eat is what you eat, especially pig blood, which is the best way to nourish your body!"
Zhu Di was a little moved, "Is that really true?"
"naturally."
Guo An nodded with an affirmative look on his face, then remembered something and whispered again: "Your Highness, you have heard that many elderly people like to eat pig whip, sheep whip, sheep kidney...these!"
"Um?"
Zhu Di's expression condensed and his eyes widened.
"Such a filthy thing? Is it possible that you want to make it into food?"
"Your Highness, you can eat whatever you want to make up for it!"
Guo An smiled mysteriously, "These are the holy nourishing products for men!"
