Chapter 30: Just a change of wine

The official liquor service is in the middle of the county, not far from the yamen. Compared with "Qixiangju" and "Yaojiazhengdian", it is much shabby, of course, it is still much better than the new restaurant opened by Du Xiao. This is the industry of the county government, and it is a three-year system.

Since the time when he came from Zhenzong, there was a real seal in the restaurant, which was the hidden mark that Du Zhongxiao said in his previous life. The people who want to buy each write the price and seal it, and the one with the highest price in the end will get it. However, in the small place of Linying, there are no popular ones, and they have always been bought in front of the ya.

Feng Jiejie came from a big family in the county, and he deliberately paid to be a yamen in the yamen, in order to buy official industries to make money. The official liquor business was stained with an official, and Feng Jiejie released the means to divide more than a dozen foot shops in the middle of the county, which could only sell his wine here, and did not compete with others, and the business has always been passable. If you run one of the worst restaurants in the city, the profits are not much different from the other two. In addition, only this restaurant uses dregs to make vinegar, if you talk about making money, "its Xiangju" and "Yaojiazhengdian" are not as good as the official liquor business.

On the ninth day of the first month of every month, several restaurants will gather here at Feng Jiejie to discuss the affairs of this month and next month. In a small county, several wine real estate projects are separated from the sub-site, and in order to maintain profits, very things have to be coordinated.

Han Lian was originally going to come, but now Du Zhongxiao is in charge of all the affairs in the restaurant, so let's let Du Zhongxiao talk about it.

Nearly noon, Du Zhongxiao walked out of his restaurant, walked as a car, and walked unhurriedly to the official restaurant in the middle of the county.

The little guy at the door saw it and hurriedly responded, and said, "The little official came late, and the other two restaurants have already arrived." ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Didn't you say that you talked about things at noon? I don't know if Feng Jiejie has arrived? ”

"The festival level has not yet arrived, but the other two restaurants are sitting in the pavilion. Little official, the little one will take you over. ”

As long as Feng Jiejie has not arrived, he is not rude, Du Zhongxiao followed the little maid and entered the restaurant.

When I arrived at a pavilion by the window on the second floor, I saw that Wu Kejiu and Director Tang were already there, sitting and drinking tea.

The little servant led Du Zhongxiao into the pavilion, confessed, and went to prepare tea.

Wu Kejiu watched Du Zhongxiao sit down and sneered: "It's really you who came today." Han Lao'er has been selling wine for many years, how can he trust you, a young man, is he confused? Today's talk is about a big event, and he is not afraid that the restaurant will not be able to open in a few days! ”

Du Zhongxiao smiled slightly: "The little one thinks a lot!" You should think more about 'its fragrant residence', and don't close the door in a few days and make people laugh. ”

Wu Kejiu sneered and said to Supervisor Tang: "Director, what do you listen to this person say?" Open a restaurant, thinking that you can sell wine by opening the door? If it were that easy, there wouldn't be so many people losing money. 'Yao Jia Zheng Store' walked with this kind of foolish person, and the supervisor thought twice. ”

Director Tang said with a smile: "Everyone is doing their own business, whether they lose money or make money, and each has their own ability." As long as the rules are set and the rules are followed, it is good to do things according to the rules. ”

Wu Kejiu snorted coldly and stopped talking.

The three of them gathered around a table, looking at each other without saying a word, just drinking tea separately. Although "Yao Jiazheng Store" and Du Zhongxiao exchanged wine for sale, they only began to try to cooperate, and they would not tear their faces with "Qi Xiangju", and Director Tang tried to be neutral and watch.

After drinking tea for a while, it wasn't until it was nearly noon that Feng Jiejie was late. He was in his fifties, tall and fat, and had some difficulty walking. When I arrived at the small pavilion, I sat on a stool and gasped for breath there.

Du Zhongxiao got up and arched his hand: "Festival level, in the lower Du Zhongxiao." The magistrate took pity on the county officials and opened a new restaurant. ”

Feng Jie's urn said angrily: "Your matter is spread all over the county, I naturally know." In the past few years, it has been difficult to make money, and it has not been easy for us brokers. Since you have a restaurant in your house, do your business well and don't spoil things. ”

Du Zhongxiao said yes, and was about to sit down, but he didn't want Feng Jiejie to look at Wu Kejiu opposite, and said: "Your family had some awkward trouble with the Wu family's 'Qixiangju' a few days ago, and we all know about it." Now that I usually open a restaurant, I forget the past and don't do it again. ”

Du Zhongxiao smiled when he heard this: "Where do you talk at the festival level, doing business is nothing more than making money, where will you be idle." However, I said it in the front, I am honest business here, and 'Qixiangju' should be the same. In the past two days, our restaurant has been newly opened, and the Wu family has been walking around outside the door, and it looks like they are going to make trouble. As the saying goes, if you are unkind to me and unjust, if 'Qixiangju' makes trouble again, don't blame me for dealing with it. ”

Feng Jiejie laughed when he heard this: "What are these words!" In the nearby counties, there are no restaurants that are larger than 'Qixiangju'. Their business is so big, where will they look for your idleness? Your restaurant, the place is small, the decoration is poor, there is no color building, there is no fine wine utensils, which rich family will go. Although it is also selling wine, it is not the same way as 'its fragrant residence'. ”

Du Zhongxiao smiled slightly: "Everyone's well water does not interfere with river water, so it is the best." ”

Of the four restaurants, Du Zhongxiao is the closest to "its fragrant residence", and competition is inevitable in the future. Several restaurants are sitting together today, and they should mainly solve the contradiction between Du Zhongxiao and Wu Kejiu. It's just that the Wu family is rich and powerful, Du Zhongxiao has a good impression of the new magistrate, Feng Jiejie is an old official in the yamen, and he knows the wind and the rudder the most, where is he willing to get involved in the affairs of the two of them. His own official restaurant occupies the territory to death, and what does it matter to him whether others make money or not. Du Zhongxiao and the Wu family went to fight, and Feng Jiejie and "Yao Jiazhengdian" were just as lively as they looked.

Wu Kejiu was full of confidence and was ready to fight with Du Zhongxiao. In front of the Han family, it was his own foot shop, because of a moment of negligence, he didn't expect to be unsuccessful in the end, and he also went to the yamen for a while, Wu Kejiu was angry.

Now that the Du family and the Han family have opened a restaurant together, it seems to be stronger than when they opened a foot shop before, but there is actually another side. Although they are allowed to pay the rent at the end of the year, the rent is owed there, and they always have to pay it. The county government is not as good as ordinary people, and when the time limit is reached, if the rent cannot be paid, they will be arrested and imprisoned. If the restaurants of the Du family and the Han family are not well opened and cannot make money, it is another matter.

How many years has "its fragrant residence" been opened, and countless experiences, how can a newly opened dilapidated restaurant collapse. Wu Kejiu was full of confidence, as long as he used some means at home, Du Zhongxiao soon knew that business was not so easy to do, and the restaurant could not be opened.

After drinking tea for a while, seeing that Feng Jiejie didn't speak, Wu Kejiu said: "Jiejie, in previous years, we made several wines, and the foot shops in the county town were clearly distinguished. There is nothing wrong with where to sell whose wine and what kind of price. Now that a new restaurant has opened, the county magistrate has spoken, and we have nothing to say, but other restaurants should still abide by the rules, right? If the rules are broken, the business will not be able to be done. ”

Feng Jiejie said casually: "What's the matter, there are only a few of us, and there are still people who have bad rules?" ”

Wu Kejiu raised his voice and said: "But there are three or four restaurants, and bad rules make people angry!" Yesterday, I went to the newly opened restaurant to look, and I saw that there were three large jars of wine in front of their cabinet, which came from the 'Yaojiazheng Store'. In previous years, we could tell clearly, the Yao family's wine did not come to the south of the city, how can we say it now? ”

Hearing this, Feng Jiejie said to Supervisor Tang: "Director, it's a little inappropriate to do this. ”

Supervisor Tang said: "I only know one of the sections, but I don't know the other. The newly opened restaurant does not make wine, but only strains wine from sake lees. The wine filtered out of the sake lees in their house is very powerful, and if some customers like it, we exchange it with them to sell it. It's just a change of wine, not that we sell it to the south of the city. ”
