I eat property in Datang

Chapter 40

Wei Sheng walked into the deserted Changgui Restaurant, seeing the listless waiter and waiter, feeling disgusted in his heart.

The manager of the shopkeeper watched his words and expressions, and greeted him in a low voice: "My lord, you are here."

"What's the situation now, why is it so deserted?" Wei Sheng went up to the second floor displeased.

The shopkeeper of Changgui Restaurant said with a wry smile: "My lord, it's all because of the Huang's ice water."

Wei Sheng stopped at a third of the stairs, turned his head, raised his eyebrows and said, "As long as his ice water can really affect us, don't these ordinary people eat ice?"

The shopkeeper of Changgui Restaurant explained: "My lord doesn't know, this Huang Dameng has reached cooperation with Cui's family and other restaurants in Dongshi and other districts to provide them with ice.

Cui's and other restaurants directly sold ice water and various iced things in the restaurant, and those diners were willing to eat there after hearing about it.

I heard that we don't have one here, so I just asked and left. "

In the hot summer, it is quite pleasant to have a glass of ice water and iced juice to cool off while waiting for the meal to be served or chatting after the meal.

Besides, these people who eat in restaurants outside are not short of money.

Or merchants need to discuss business and entertain people.

I don't care about spending a few extra bucks to make myself more comfortable.

After a few days, the diners naturally went to other restaurants.

If people in this business do not have outstanding main dishes, they will basically compete in the same category. If they cannot compare with the past in terms of service, they will soon fall behind and be beaten.

This is why Cui Wei of the Cui family, after knowing that Huang Meng could really produce ice in large quantities, really gave up face and went to discuss cooperation by himself.

"Damn Huang Dameng." Wei Sheng clenched his fist and thumped the solid wooden railing hard, causing him pain to the core.

"Then what should you do now, young master? If this continues, our restaurant will..." The shopkeeper of Changgui Restaurant was worried, but he only dared to say this.

In the past, Fugui Casino had sufficient funds, and it was also possible to expand the restaurant.

Now it seems that the mosquito coils lost a lot of money last time, and the restaurant can't get new settlement funds.

In the restaurant industry, if the customer occupancy rate does not meet a certain standard for a day, it is a loss of money.

Labor, food, etc., the most important thing is word of mouth.

People tend to be lively, the colder it is, the less business there is, and the colder it is, the more gossip and rumors there are.

"What should I do?" Wei Sheng thought for a while, and suddenly another idea popped into his head, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, but in the end he only replied with three words: "Wait a minute, we will find a solution when the time comes."

Shall I wait first?

The shopkeeper of Changgui Restaurant, who watched Wei Sheng walk up all the steps, showed a little hesitation, but quickly followed.

…………

Huang's Restaurant!

After the brothers and sisters Li Changle left, Huang Meng asked Huang Xiaomeng to be a teacher and professor to supervise Ouyang sisters to learn counting.

There is a learning method like this, the Feynman learning method, which allows beginners to review and test the knowledge they have learned by teaching others to achieve the effect of consolidation and improvement.

So Huang Meng deliberately made Huang Xiaomeng a good teacher.

Huang Xiaomeng imitated Huang Meng's appearance in an orderly manner, and then guided the second daughter.

Regardless of the three daughters, Huang Meng tossed up the house by himself.

Use the size to compare and draw in the backyard and the well yard.

"Young master, what are you doing?" Uncle Zhong didn't understand Huang Meng's actions, and was a little confused.

Huang Meng said: "I'm going to improve the hut, dig a big hole, and then get some clay pots, and make a few pottery squat holes, so as to avoid the stench from coming out."

Compared with later generations, the toilet conditions in Datang were too backward.

Huang Meng wanted to change it a long time ago, but he has been busy and has no time.

Now the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and every time after going to the toilet, a smell lingers on his body, which really makes him extremely uncomfortable.

Oh, by the way, there are also toilet chips for going to the latrine that Huang Meng hates.

The toilet needs to be changed, and the cleaning tools should also be changed.

Compared with paper, which requires a long development process, toilet renovation is simple.

"Brother Dameng, what are you doing?" Li Zhen walked in at some point, holding an account book in his hand, and looked curiously at the white lime boundary that Huangmeng had sprinkled on the ground.

Huang Meng looked up to see Li Zhen, smiled and said, "Xiao Zhen came just in time, I still want to ask you something?"

"Brother Dameng, what do you want to ask?" Li Zhen asked.

Huang Meng said: "I want to renovate my latrine, dig a big septic tank first, and get some defecation pipes, so I want to ask you, which one in Chang'an City does a good job of pottery pipes, I have something to think about. Let them make it for me."

Li Zhen Chang An Bai Xiaosheng, it must be right to ask him.

Septic tank!
Laxative?

What the hell is this.

Never heard of it.

However, Li Zhen still thought about it seriously and said: "The craftsmanship of making things is of course the best in the imperial court's Ministry of Industry. If it's ordinary pottery, Brother Dameng doesn't need to find someone else, my mason can do it. And you can do whatever you want.”

"Forget it with the Ministry of Industry." That is the uncle raised by the imperial court, whoever is qualified to invite him, Huang Meng said:

"The masons in your family can really do it. How many people are there? The things I make may be more complicated, and the craftsmanship is not simple."

Li Zhen replied confidently: "Brother Dameng, my family is small. If you are in a hurry, you can borrow from the Cheng family, the Qin family, and the Niu family. With so many families working together, it will be very fast. If you only pay attention to practicality, Not to mention the beauty is not for sale, I think they can do it in complex."

The toilet may be a bit more complicated, but squatting in the pit is too simple. If the conditions are not not allowed, Huang Meng feels that he can do it.

So I thought for a while and said, "That's fine, first use your masons, if not, just silence them at the inquiry office."

Although he was very curious about Huangmeng's renovation of the latrine, Li Zhen did not continue to explore, but handed over the account book and said: "Brother Dameng, this is the account record of Mantoufang, you can see if there is any discrepancy No."

Cui's and other major restaurants purchase steamed buns directly from the steamed bun shop, not in Huangmeng's restaurant.

So the account book is in the hands of the manager of the Li family.

The steamed bun shop's business is very good, more than ten days have passed in a flash, and the income is very high.

Taking advantage of nothing, Li Zhen used it to reconcile the accounts.

Huang Meng did not refuse to be hypocritical, but took the account book to the store hall, opened it and read it, his brows frowned slightly, and then closed it.

Li Zhen said: "What's the matter, Brother Dameng, is there a problem?"

Huang Meng shook his head and said, "I don't know if there is a problem, but I know that it is impossible to check the accounts in this way, which is a headache."

After speaking, he took out a blank account book in the store, and then drew a grid with a self-made straight board.

And wrote words on the horizontal column, and wrote words on the left side of the vertical column.

Only then did they reopen the tent given by Li Zhen, and then mark them down one by one with Arabic numerals according to the numbers on it.

This set of actions is extremely fast, and the income and expenditure of the entire account book are listed with almost no effort.

Throw away the original account book and do a simple calculation in the new account book.
