At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 61

Hearing Yang Tong's doubts, Fan Zhu seemed to see himself two days ago...

When the lord took out the new tea leaves, he also had the same expression.

With a slight smile, Fan Zhu signaled Yang Tong to sit down, and then began to brew tea with boiled water.

According to what the lord said, the one-time brewing is the residue and cannot be drunk.

The second brewing is more bitter and not suitable for drinking.

After brewing for the third time, Fan Zhu signaled Yang Tong to taste it.

"This tea is exclusively created by my Xianweiju, and it's called... Maojian."

This name was chosen by Xu Mu in conjunction with later generations. Its color is bright and clean, free of impurities, its aroma is elegant and fresh, and its taste is fresh, mellow and sweet. It is named because of the small buds.

Because Wanmin City is located in the deep mountains, located in Henan County, the most famous in later generations is Maojian in green tea.

Yang Tong looked at the unprecedented brewing method, held the tea handed by Fan Zhu, and sniffed it lightly, only to feel the aroma hit his face.

Looking into the cup, it was completely different from the tea I usually drink.

The tea I usually drink is boiled, and the tea soup is rich and cloudy, even tribute tea is somewhat cloudy.

But this tea...

After brewing for three times, it turned out to be clear and green.

"Mao Jian..." Yang Tong muttered these two words, took a few sips, and aftertaste, the tea was mellow and his eyes became brighter.

An unprecedented experience flooded my heart.

If the umami taste of the food he ate earlier covered his sense of taste, then the aroma of tea washed away the umami taste of the food just now.

After rinsing it over and over again, there was only the gentle, watery tea fragrance left between his lips and teeth.

"Good tea! Good tea!"

Even if he doesn't know much about tea, Yang Tong knows that this tea is extraordinary.

Later, he asked Fan Zhu for tips on how to brew this tea and how to savor it carefully.

"Your Highness, Mr. Lu is here."

As soon as the tea was finished, the guards waiting at the door knocked on the door and reported the situation at the door of Xianweiju.

Under Lu Chu's thunderous means, the cooks from the three major restaurants at the door had already been dispersed.

And... Wu Jian, the housekeeper who cursed Yang Tong face to face, was imprisoned for defamation.

"It's getting late today, so Gu will go back to the mansion first, and come to your place to taste wine in the future."

In the end, Yang Tong reluctantly followed Lu Chu and left Xianweiju.

Of course, he also brought the ten catties of Maojian presented by Fan Zhu.

After they left, Xu Mu came out from the backyard.

In the end... Fan Yi was found to have a troubled look on his face.

"What? What happened?" Xu Mu was a little puzzled.

Fan Zhu hesitated to say: "King Yue...His Highness King Yue forgot to pay."

Xu Mu: "..."

He thought it was a big deal.

"It's a small matter, if he can come to Xianweiju, it is destined that our Xianweiju will have a firm foothold in Luoyang City. We will have to weigh it first if anyone wants to move in the future."

Xu Mu saw this very clearly.

In the final analysis, the two beatings are still... ahem, Lu Chu's two beatings were not in vain.

"Old Lu did a great favor this time, should I return a big gift?"

Xu Mu suddenly thought that today is already the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Tomorrow almost all the interns of Guozijian will return to study in prison.

He wanted to invite Lao Lu and his party to travel outside the city and recite poems and compose Fu.

"Let's wait a little longer. The tunnels at Xingyue haven't been dug yet. When the food is almost moved, we'll use another trick to pack up and take away Lao Lu and the others!"

Now that he has opened Xianweiju Restaurant in Luoyang City, Xu Mu thinks even further.

You can't expose Xianweiju, right?
He also thought that after finishing this vote, he would do another vote when the supervisors enroll in the next year.

"By the way, the fact that King Yue came to the restaurant for dinner today, as well as his evaluation of Xianweiju during the dinner, should be publicized. In addition, a copy of King Yue's quotations is hung around the wall, which is considered his meal money." After Yang Tong left, Xu Mu reminded him.

Fan Zhu's eyes lit up, especially when he heard the move of King Gua Yue's Quotations, he felt more and more that the master's move was brilliant.

It's killing two birds with one stone.

Not only secretly praised the king of Yue, but also raised the worth and status of Xianweiju.

"My subordinate understands."

After Fan Zhu resigned, he began to look for staff and prepare for the next day's publicity.

On the first day of opening, due to the obstruction of Duan Xuankun and others, the income was zero.

But Yang Tong's meal today is destined to be brewed tonight, and will be completely detonated tomorrow, so that all the nobles in the city will come to Xianweiju to find out.

……

"There is no such special taste in the world, you are either a saint or a fairy!"

This comment spread throughout Luoyang City overnight.

For this reason, Xu Mu ordered Fan Zhu to spend a hundred guan as publicity!

You know... the Xianweiju restaurant only cost two hundred guan.

Fan Zhu felt very heartbroken about this, and felt that there was no need to spend such a waste of money.

But the lord forced him to do so, and he had no choice but to do so.

People in this era don't pay much attention to publicity, but Xu Mu's descendants came through time and knew the importance of public opinion.

What happened during the day today was compiled into a story by him, and it was thoroughly spread in Luoyang City.

Goulan Washe, the storyteller, took the money and said that he would tell the story that happened today at least ten times overnight!
In addition, the catchy nursery rhymes circulated among the children in the streets and alleys also spread the legendary stories that happened today.

The whole story was embellished by Xu Mu, and it was probably just like this: the three major restaurants hated Xianweiju, and on the day they opened, they banned the common people from entering, and at the same time cursed the ugly words of the king of Yue, which attracted the king of Yue.

Then King Yue was furious and punished the evil slaves of the Duan family who occupied the city. He tasted the delicious food of Xianweiju himself, and was amazed that the food in the three major restaurants was like a beggar's food.

There is no such special taste in the world, and the exclamation of being either a saint or a fairy.

All in all, the price of a hundred guan is...

On the second day, Xianweiju exploded completely.

As soon as the door opened, there were dozens of people waiting in line outside. When the first floor was full, there were dozens of people outside.

Later, Xu Mu introduced a number system, and those who came first could get a number from the second person on the platform at the gate of Xianweiju.

Then line up outside.

Wait for Xianweiju to shout to enter.

Since ancient times, there has been a first-come-first-served rule. Although these guests did not grab the front row and complained constantly, they still chose to queue up honestly.

And after each table of guests finished eating, they would come out and say to the people queuing at the door: "This line is really worth it!"

Later, when it got dark in the evening and closed the door, there were still more than 30 people lined up outside the door.

It is said that some people have been waiting for a long time, waiting for a full two hours!

Xiaoer wanted to close the door, but these people were not happy, and blocked the door one after another, blaming Xianweiju for bullying customers.

In the end, it was Fan Zhu who came out, explained himself, and promised to give them those who lined up first to enter tomorrow, so they were willing to give up.

That night, in the lobby of Xianweiju.

Fan Zhu looked very excited, looked through the account book three times, and confirmed again and again: "My lord, we made a profit of 93% today!"

After Xu Mu heard this number, he was slightly shocked.

The people in Luoyang City... are really rich.

A total of more than 150 tables were opened today.

On average, each table consumes [-] Wen!

You know, the monthly salary of the cooks employed in the restaurant is only this amount.

"Today is just the beginning. When these first batch of diners make a wave of publicity, the income should increase again in the next few days."

Xu Mu pondered, in fact, excluding today's personnel costs, food costs, etc., it should be a net profit of about [-] guan.

But even if it's fifty guan, it's not a big deal.

As for the copper coins earned, Xu Mu plans to keep a part of them in Xianweiju for daily operations, and transfer the rest to the account of Wanmin Commercial Bank to prepare for the next project.

For example... opening a Xianweiju Chang'an branch in Chang'an.

Today, Li Yuan and his son have already occupied Chang'an, where...but where the nobles of Guanlong reside, it can be said to be the most affluent place in the whole world.

Day two.

The revenue of Xianweiju, as expected by Xu Mu, has reached 170, almost doubled!
Because several tables of guests entered the second floor.

On the first day, all the guests came for the food.

But on the second day, some returning customers who had eaten on the first day were curious about the second floor and asked Xiao Er what was on the second floor.

In the end, I was told by Xiaoer that the second floor is a place to drink tea, and the fee for going upstairs alone is five guan.

After going up, tea is another charge.

This is naturally a bundled consumption set by Xu Mu.

Even so, several tables of customers paid the bill and went to the second floor.

But no one went up to the third floor.

Because if you want to go up to the third floor, you also have to go up the stairs, which is doubled again, a full ten times!
This is equivalent to more than a year's wages for ordinary workers.

But Xu Mu believes that in this eastern capital where rich second generations are everywhere, there are definitely not a few people who are willing to spend a lot of money to go to the second and third floors.

What he wants to earn is only the money of those dandies.

For the consumption on the first floor, as long as you eat leisurely, ordinary people can still come to eat once a month.

Only the tea and wine on the second and third floors, Xu Mu set the threshold.

And on the third day, Xianweiju's revenue broke the record again, reaching an astonishing two hundred!

The main income is the consumption on the second floor. The novel tea brewing method and the sweet and mellow taste of the tip of the hair have attracted many noble disciples.

They spent a lot of money, and even two tables of guests went up to the third floor!

Of course, after drinking the spirits from Manmin City, they were all carried back by the servants.

On the third floor, Xu Mu only put a kind of spirit recently developed by the research institute.

The concentration is equivalent to about [-] degrees. In this era, the alcohol content is generally not high, and [-] degrees is enough to intoxicate most people.

After the third day, Xianweiju's business has basically entered into a steady development. The daily revenue varies from high to low, but it never falls below [-] Guan.

But in Yongkang, at the entrance of Xianweiju, there is a strange scenery at lunch every day.

The long benches were placed neatly, and a group of people came here with ease, took numbers, and lined up.

Of course, most of the people who took numbers and queued up were servants.

The son of a noble family always shows up here only when he is ranked first.

At the same time, the other three restaurants in Yongkangli near Miyagi became more and more bleak.

In the version of the Luoyang story compiled by Xu Mu, the three major restaurants viciously competed and played tricks.

The most important thing is that everyone who has eaten Xianweiju food has always thought that...

The so-called signature dishes of the three major restaurants are really leftovers, food for beggars!
