On the opening day of the restaurant, a long table of small tasting delicacies was set up at the door.
Free things naturally attract a lot of people to grab them.
The atmosphere immediately rose.
Passing customers planned to take advantage, but were attracted by the taste in their mouths and walked in uncontrollably.
Looking at the decoration that was completely different from other restaurants, their eyes were full of surprise.
Wen Jinhe changed the first floor of the restaurant into dozens of snack windows, and the second floor was for ordering food.
The lobby focuses on being affordable and friendly to the people.
Each snack is not expensive, but the portions are insufficient.
An adult needs to eat several things to fill his stomach.
Hundreds of snacks are dazzling to see.
Not long after it opened, the lobby on the first floor was filled with people.
People are coming and going, so lively.
Wen Jinhe specially arranged two private rooms on the second floor.
It is inevitable that distinguished guests will come, and these guests cannot give up.
Wen Jinhe, who was sitting in the box on the second floor, watched the situation downstairs and left after a quarter of an hour.
The temperature inside the blacksmith's shop is higher than outside.
Not long after Wen Jinhe came in, his neck began to sweat.
The shopkeeper of the blacksmith shop quickly invited people into the hall, and also called in the most skilled blacksmith in the shop.
Staring at the semi-finished product on the ground, the large frame has been built, leaving only a chain.
The blacksmith took the chain parts and said, "Master, this thing is too delicate and difficult to make. This set is okay. If it is made in large quantities, it will take time."
He worked hard for half a month and even scrapped it once.
Wen Jinhe stared at the parts. They were indeed very delicate. It was not easy to maintain a small amount of error when making them by hand.
If production capacity cannot be increased, no matter how high the price is raised, there will not be much money to be made.
"Have you ever thought about making molds?" Modern foundries all use molds. They only need to pour molten iron into the mold, solidify and then polish it finely.
Although there will be a scrap rate, the efficiency is indeed greatly improved.
"Mold?" The blacksmith heard the word mold for the first time and was a little confused.
Wen Jinhe explained: "I have to make thousands of this part, carve a hollow mold, pour molten iron into it, and the products will be exactly the same."
The blacksmith's eyes lit up and he nodded excitedly, "It's indeed exactly the same. The master's idea is very good."
"You guys try again and coordinate the progress with the rubber workshop so that we don't run out of tires by then."
The blacksmith shop owner nodded quickly.
That night, the restaurant manager sent the day's accounts to the palace to show Wen Jinhe, "Princess, the restaurant made a profit of 128 taels on the first day it opened. The customers all said it tasted good, which is amazing."
Wen Jinhe put down the account book, "If there are not enough manpower, tell Man Qiu to ensure the quality of the dishes and don't make mistakes as soon as you get busy."
The restaurant owner nodded repeatedly.
In the middle of the night, Li Junche returned to the palace wearing a suit of armor. When he came back, the candles in the backyard had been extinguished.
After the morning court today, the emperor of Beidi Kingdom left Li Junche alone.
Tell him that Beidi Kingdom plans to attack Linyue Kingdom again in two years.
He also asked the Ministry of War to start recruiting troops, and Li Junche was responsible for training new soldiers.
Before the armistice between the two countries, Li Junche led his army to capture seven cities in Linyue Kingdom.
There are two reasons for the peace talks to cease fighting.
First, after capturing seven cities, they encountered stubborn resistance from the generals guarding the cities of Linyue Kingdom, and the treasury of Beidi Kingdom could not allocate food and grass;
Second, winter is coming at that time, and I am afraid that the army will not be able to withstand the low temperature.
Linyue Kingdom proposed peace, and Emperor Li Jingxing readily agreed.
He needed time to replenish his treasury and prepare for another war.
When leaving, the emperor specifically told Li Junche to keep an eye on Wen Jinhe. After all, she was an enemy princess, and failure to protect her would be a trick.
Li Junche told Li Jingxing about Wen Jinhe's execution of the maids and guards, but even this could not dispel his wariness.
Fortunately, the war would not start until two years later, and the emperor would not take action against Wen Jinhe during this period.
For seven or eight consecutive days, the restaurant's business has been getting better and better.
The name of Yunxi Restaurant has completely spread in the capital.
The customer base covers middle and low-end ordinary people and businessmen, and there are not many high-ranking officials.
First, the lobby on the first floor of Yunxi Restaurant takes the affordable route.
Secondly, the restaurant is not large, and only the dignitaries on the second floor are willing to stay.
They are unwilling to live in the same room with ordinary people because they feel they are degrading their status.
However, some servants and maids of noble families would go to the lobby to pack food and take it back.
But the things he brought back were not as delicious as those eaten in the dining room, which made the female family members in the backyard very embarrassed.
Murong Nie wanted to take care of his princess's business at noon that day, so he brought his subordinates here to visit.
Before I even got off my horse, I saw two rows of people sitting outside the restaurant.
When the waiter standing at the door to greet guests saw someone coming, he immediately walked up and said apologetically: "Dear military lords, there are no seats in the lobby on the first floor. It will take about two-quarters of an hour. There are still seats on the second floor. I wonder if you would mind. ”
How could Murong Nie wait for two quarters of an hour before he continued: "Then the second floor."
A group of more than a dozen people were brought into the lobby by a waiter, and everyone saw people.
Fortunately, the stairs to the second floor do not pass through the lobby, otherwise you would be sweating all over while squeezing through.
The second floor is much more spacious, and the tables are not as crowded as the lobby.
The waiter came over with the menu, "Fellow military lords, this is the menu. You can also order the snacks on the first floor, and the waiters will bring them to you. Please note that there is a minimum consumption on the second floor of our restaurant. Each table has a minimum consumption of one meal. Get five taels of silver."
Although the general present was the lowest lieutenant in the army, his annual salary was only fifty taels of silver, which was less than taels of silver a month when divided.
This meal costs five taels of silver, which is somewhat excessive.
Murong Nie stared at the waiter with wide eyes. Others didn't know that this restaurant was opened by Wen Jinhe, but he was from a good background.
What kind of rule is this? There is a minimum consumption.
Looking at the way the waiter looked at them, the dozen or so grown men couldn't say it was too expensive and wanted to leave.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and get exactly 5 taels of silver.
All the dishes were put on the table, and the taste was an eye-opener for everyone.
After eating, the plates on the table were empty.
A certain deputy lieutenant: "Let's sit in the lobby next time."
Everyone nodded and sat in the lobby. It didn't matter if there were many people.
"Master Mo, please." The waiter walked into the box with a man with a beard.
That was the boss of Manshui Building, a major cloth merchant in the capital city of Beidi.
Murong Nie called a waiter and asked, "Does your private room have a minimum consumption?"
The boy replied, "Come back to the army, I'll start with ten taels of silver."
Murong Nie wanted to take back his initial views on Wen Jinhe opening a restaurant. The princess was very good at doing business and was a naked businessman.
When we paid and left, there were still people queuing up at the seats outside the restaurant, which was really crowded.
The news that the Beidi Kingdom had started recruiting troops was sent back to Linyue Kingdom, attracting the attention of Emperor Wen Yanru.
All the ministers in the DPRK knew that marriage was not a long-term solution, but they did not expect Beidi Kingdom to move so quickly.
The third princess had just married Li Junche not long ago, and they couldn't hold it back so quickly.
