Chapter 429 is simple and extreme
Guo Huaili's idea is simple and direct, if you want to buy perfume, you can exchange it for a voucher of paying tax in the border city, and you can buy a bottle of perfume by paying a hundred taels of business tax, on a first-come, first-served basis, and wait for the next year when it is sold out.
"30,000 bottles of perfume to the 28 countries in the Western Regions, a country is just over a thousand bottles, these countries are large and small, and the average population is more than 2 million, this perfume is like pepper sprinkled in beef." Guo Huaili's chopsticks pointed to the big pot of beef and smiled.
30,000 bottles of perfume can support 3 million commercial taxes, plus the commercial tax of perfume itself and some scattered taxes, the commercial tax of a year is at least more than 4 million taels, Jiang Anyi smiled and raised his glass: "Brother Guo, solve my urgent need, respect you." ”
Putting down the cup, Guo Huaili said: "Perfume doesn't need to be promoted for it, the gold and jade liquor I brought this time should be planned carefully, I want to make a name for myself in Huazhou and push it to the countries of the Western Regions." Their wine is sold so expensive, if the gold and jade liquid are not sold at the price of the gold juice and jade liquid, my old Guo is incompetent. ”
The town of Pingshan produces liquor, burnt knives and gold and jade liquor, targeting different groups. The wine is blended with high-alcohol wine and low-alcohol wine in different proportions, and the wine with different taste is blended, which has opened the market in Dazheng's restaurant and does not worry about sales; Burning knives are popular in the Northern Desert, and there are also retail sales in the East Market, and they gradually have a reputation among merchants in the Western Regions; Jin Yuye takes the high-end route, and Jiang Anyi positions it in the same position as the four famous liquors such as Biluochun, Huang Shuzui, Qiongzhou Liquid, and Mingyuexiang.
However, the four famous liquors have a long history and are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the golden jade liquid has been around for a short time, and not many people know about it, so it is not easy to open the market. This time, Jin Yuye was pushed away at the border of Huazhou, and Guo Huaili had the intention of going sideways.
Guo Huaili said confidently: "Xiaojiang, don't worry, everything is not a problem with my old Guo, my old Guo is the first person in the business world in the future, and the border city of Huazhou will be built by me to catch up with the east and west cities of the imperial capital in the future, maybe it will be surpassed in the future, and everyone mentions that the border city of Huazhou should be called the northwest city." ”
Jiang Anyi saw a glow called confidence flashing on his fat face, he had known Guo Huaili for more than ten years, and the two of them went from classmates to friends to brothers, and this relationship was much better than An Yong.
Brother Guo can find what he likes to do and work hard to achieve a career, this is a happy thing in life, Jiang Anyi took a sip of wine, drunk and slightly drunk, this feels really good.
On September 25th, Huazhou Huiye Mansion, the autumn is high and cool, and the yellow calendar is appropriate: opening the market, rewarding the gods, seeking wealth, seeing nobles, marrying, and feasting guests.
Located in the west of Aino Mansion, the Qixian Building was once the most famous restaurant in Huiye Prefecture, with a two-story building that could place 80 seats at the same time, and the cars and horses in front of the door were like dragons, and there were endless guests in all seasons. But that was three years ago, after the old owner died, he took away a good cooking skill, and the young owner was not good at learning and not doing well, and he was about to close down.
A few days ago, a wealthy businessman from Texas paid 200 taels of silver to banquet guests in the restaurant, which was a big deal that Qixian Lou had not had for more than two years, and the proprietor Tang Jie urged the men to clean the doors and windows, scrub the tables and chairs, and hang the red lantern in front of the door. Standing in front of his restaurant, Tang Jie was overwhelmed with sighs in his heart, the vermilion railing was mottled off his knees, the carved window lattices were somewhat damaged, and only the tip of the eaves was still extraordinary under the blue sky.
Two hundred taels of silver is now a big business for Qixian Building, Tang Jie is thinking that with these two hundred taels of silver, the restaurant can be simply repaired, the door posts are painted, some dilapidated tables and chairs are replaced, and the silk veils on the screen windows are also replaced. Thinking about it this way, there are really a lot of places to spend money, and two hundred taels of silver seems to be not enough to spend.
Boss Tang was a little unhappy, his family has run a hotel for three generations, and he doesn't know how to receive guests and set up tables and chairs, and that Boss Guo actually said that he would personally bring people to furnish and welcome guests, which is obviously looking down on himself. A few years ago, he would have definitely asked him to hire another master, but now he has to bow his arrogant young master's head.
Chen Shizheng, Boss Guo appeared in front of the restaurant with a group of people. More than 50 teenage girls, wearing pink dresses, stood in four rows in the empty field in front of the restaurant, beautiful and vibrant, neat and pleasing to the eye.
Tang Jie greeted the fat man who was looking forward to Zixiong at the front, and said with a smile: "Boss Guo is early, you are really generous, how can you buy such little girls?" ”
Since the history of the Jiang Thorn copied the city, the Yaxing moved away and rebuilt into a border city, according to the purpose of the establishment of the Salesian orphanage, strict review of human trafficking, Wuyun County hearing, the county's Salesian orphanage, and now Bai Zhiguang has lost his official position and confiscated his home, one of the crimes is to deduct the relief money of the Salesian orphanage.
Jiang Anyi was determined to make the Salesian Orphanage in Huazhou a model for all states to learn, and clearly pointed out in the official document issued that the year-end performance appraisal of the Salesian Orphanage was listed as one of the assessments. There is a lesson from Bai Zhiguang's current experience, how dare the county magistrates of each county take this matter as a child's play, and take the shelter of orphans and widows and raising orphans as a major matter.
The originally thriving human market transactions in Huazhou have quietly shrunk, and it is difficult to buy cheap and obedient little girls, Tang Jie was very surprised to see Boss Guo appear with more than 50 little girls.
"I rented these little girls from the Salesian orphanage, fifty wen a day." Guo Huaili returned the salute and explained with a smile: "How is it? You can see it. ”
Tang Jie praised repeatedly: "Yes, it looks very energetic, Boss Guo is going to let these little girls entertain guests?" ”
In order to enable the children adopted by the Salesian Orphanage to support themselves, Jiang Anyi arranged for the girls to be taught to raise silkworms, weave, needlework, and do housework, while the boys learned to be men, carpenters, blacksmiths, and farmers.
Three days ago, Jiang Anyi and Guo Huaili decided to promote Jin Yuye at the banquet in the restaurant, Jiang Anyi suggested that Guo Huaili ask the children of the Salesian Orphanage to help, first, to increase the children's experience and increase their income, and second, to advertise for the children of the Salesian Orphanage, and in the future, the shops or rich families are willing to ask them to do things.
Two months ago, Jiang Anyi asked the children of the Salesian Orphanage to work for the production of honey fruits, and also set a wage of five wen per can for them. For the first time, these children earned a lot of money, more than 3,000 yuan, and less than 1,000 yuan, and the more money earned was almost as much as the farmer's income from a year's hard work in the fields, which made the children full of hope for the future and full of gratitude for the history of Jiang Thorn.
Guo Huaili invited them to come to the restaurant to help, and carried out simple etiquette training in advance, how to behave, how to walk, how to stand, how to speak, etc., the children of poor families are sensible early, and these orphans know that this knowledge will be helpful for their future livelihood, and they learn very seriously one by one. Late at night, there were still many children in the Salesian orphanage practicing hard under the moonlight.
The pink clothes worn by the child were given by Siyu, and the eldest sister often brought the lucky ones she chose to visit the little sisters in the Salesian Orphanage, and the little girls were very fascinated by the beautiful clothes on the guards, and the girls who did not want to dress up beautifully. Although they earned some money from their work, none of these little girls were willing to spend money on new clothes, and they were reluctant to throw away the patches of their old clothes.
Xinfei and Siyu are actually orphans, although they don't remember the past, but the same experience made Siyu's sympathy overflow, and the little rich woman did not hesitate to ask someone to buy two sets of clothes for everyone in the courtyard. After Jiang Anyi learned about it, he suggested making the same style, which was regarded as the taste of the uniform in the demon master's memory, so naturally the cost was transferred to his head.
The large pink flowers are like lotus flowers blooming in summer, provoking pedestrians on the street to stop and watch, and the guys in the shop see a group of little girls who are very watery, slow down their work, and look back from time to time.
Guo Huaili said with a smile: "Boss Tang, I asked these children to help with some work, wipe the doors and windows, and set the dishes and chopsticks." ”
Of course it's good not to have money to help, Tang Jie smiled and beckoned everyone into the store.
Qixian Lou is a typical Zheng-style restaurant, with a wide lobby covered with wooden planks that have been washed and cleaned. Dozens of black square tables and chairs are placed around the high platform in the center, the high platform is used for singing and dancing performances, there are stairs on both sides leading to the second floor, and the second floor is connected to twenty-eight private rooms in the shape of a "Hui" corridor, Guo Huaili stood on the high platform and looked around, and nodded with satisfaction to the Tang boss beside him.
Tang Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a little smugness: "Boss Guo, it's not me boasting, the Tang family has run the restaurant for three generations, and Tang has grown up in the restaurant since he was a child. ”
Guo Huaili smiled slightly, and said to the little girls standing under the stage: "Girls, get busy according to the practice in advance." ”
Those pink-clad girls are like willows in the wind, moving with brisk steps, pleasing to the eye to get busy. In Tang Jie's surprised gaze, the little girl took out long ropes and pulled them up in the lobby like a net, constantly adjusting the position of the tables and chairs on the floor.
At first, Tang Jie didn't think so, but gradually he put away the smile on the corner of his mouth and watched the little girls working without turning his eyes. After the tables and chairs are placed, under the skillful hands of the little girl, the dishes are like blooming flowers, the chopsticks are placed in a fixed position, and the chopsticks of different lengths are picked out and replaced, and the chopsticks in the tube are neatly tilted in one direction.
Tang Jie's eyes widened, and he muttered unconsciously, "It's so neat", "Yes, it looks so beautiful like this", "Alas, it could have been placed like this, how can this be easy to eat." ”
"Simple things are exquisite." Spit out a profound and subtle word from Guo Huaili's mouth, Tang Jie looked at him with reverence, and he couldn't wait to immediately take out his notes and put them on the paper.
Guo Huaili's face was full of pride, just like when he was in Kunhua Mountain, Jiang Anyi wrote to him the poem "People Idle Osmanthus Fall", which he wrote on the folding fan and played around, at this moment Guo Huaili couldn't wait to paste this sentence into a slogan and show off all over the street.
