The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 248 Secret Letter from the Capital
All the staff in the restaurant were in place, and the decoration was completed, only a name was missing. Jiang Chuan slapped his head and swiped a pen: the words "heaven and earth" came out vividly on the paper.

Of course, he still couldn't get his handwriting out, and he was embarrassed to look at it. In the end, he asked Liu Ji to write a new plaque.

After appreciating the name, everyone was full of admiration, only Jiang Chuan looked weird, thinking of something indescribable, let alone humane.

Just like that, the Heaven and Earth Restaurant opened.According to the plan, a trial operation was conducted for half a month.None of them had ever run a restaurant before, and they were all a bit apprehensive about the business prospects after opening.

But I didn't expect that once it opened, the whole hall was full on the first day. The upstairs and downstairs were full of seats, and people who came late could not find a table.

This hot scene surprised everyone, and a dozen waitresses almost broke their legs running upstairs and downstairs.Li Dazui and four or five helpers were sweating profusely in the cold winter months in the back kitchen.

Mo Dai was running back and forth between the front hall and the back kitchen to coordinate and coordinate, and Qi Xuan was so busy at the counter that she didn't even bother to lift her head, just doing the cash register and settling accounts.

When the accounts were settled after closing, the turnover on the first day alone was more than 200 taels of silver, and this was only the first day.

When the news reported to Jiang Chuan, Jiang Chuan was also very surprised.If this goes on like this, the restaurant's turnover for a month alone will be 7000 taels, of which the net profit will be almost 3000 taels.

The rent of the restaurant is not involved. In this era, there are no water and electricity fees, property fees, sanitation fees, and no taxes. Basically, it is pure profit.

Mo Dai complained that if this continues, it will exceed the restaurant's reception capacity, such as restricting the number of guests.

Jiang Chuan thought that this hot phenomenon could not last long.It is so popular now because this is the only restaurant in the valley, and everyone has no choice.The second reason is that these businessmen are also tired of the rough food in the military camp. As soon as they heard of a restaurant opening, they immediately came to improve their lives.

Therefore, the membership system mentioned earlier can be launched in due course.Become a member of Heaven and Earth, you can not only enjoy discounts, but also enjoy priority and noble services.There are four kinds of memberships: Diamond, Gold, Silver and Bronze. Find a craftsman to carve the shape of leaves with ox bones, engrave different marks on them according to different grades, and make membership cards with all numbers. Recharge in advance, not to enjoy the dishes separately [-]% off, [-]% off, [-]% off, [-]% off.

Drinks are also discounted according to the above discount ratio.

Moreover, Jiang Chuan also stipulated that the restaurant should announce to the outside world that because the restaurant's reception capacity is limited, it will only accept members in the future.

Mo Dai and the others were worried that this move would deter customers, but Jiang Chuan was full of confidence.

The business was still booming on the second day, even more crowded than the first day.Many people also come here because of the reputation. Apart from the objective factor of not having to choose, Li Dazui's craftsmanship has become the main reason for attracting repeat customers.

In addition, the waitresses in the restaurant are all young and beautiful, so it has become a major reason for attracting customers.

Seeing this situation, Mo Dai and Qi Xuan began to have confidence in implementing the membership system.

On the third day, the membership system was officially launched, and all 500 membership cards were sold out within one day.Among them, the diamond card must be recharged with 300 taels at one time, and there are only 200 cards; the gold card has been recharged with 100 taels, and there are only 120 cards; the silver card has been recharged with [-] taels, a total of [-] cards; Card.

The number of taels of pre-stored value of the membership card alone reached 6 taels of silver.

Seeing the thick pile of banknotes of various denominations, as well as silver ingots and broken silver in front of them, both Mo Dai and Qi Xuan were dumbfounded. They didn't expect these merchants to have such a strong spending power.

In fact, what they didn't know was that Jiang Chuan let people quietly release the news that the Heaven and Earth Restaurant was opened by Marquis Wu'an, so this suddenly stimulated the nerves of these keen businessmen.

Many people apply for cards not entirely for consumption, but mainly for getting acquainted with and befriending Marquis Wu'an.

Businessmen have the keenest sense of smell, and many people can already smell the unstoppable momentum of Marquis Wu'an's rise, so this is not so much a kind of buying a card as an emotional investment.

Although Jiang Chuan had expected this kind of result, he didn't expect it to be so popular.I was very excited to hear that I received more than 6 taels of silver in one day.

The venue costs nothing, and the raw materials basically cost nothing, most of which are obtained from the fortress base.The same goes for drinks.The only thing is that the personnel's monthly money and bonuses are big expenses.

At present, it seems that this restaurant will become a stable source of income in his hands.

In such a hot situation, the restaurant officially opened after only three days of trial operation.On the day of the opening, Jiang Chuan took Liu Ji and the three generals to show their faces, which was tantamount to directly confirming that the previous rumors were true, and thus detonated the scene even more.

After the business of the restaurant got on track, the entire commercial street also opened as scheduled.From the moment Liu Ji announced the opening of the market, tens of thousands of people rushed into the flat and spacious commercial street, almost all the people who could come in the valley came.

Even though many people don't have spare money to buy things, they can't stop everyone's enthusiasm for watching the excitement.

In order to prevent a stampede due to too many people, Jiang Chuan dispatched [-] soldiers to help maintain order.

Although it was uncomfortable for these soldiers to stand on both sides of the street, the crowd continued unabated and was extremely bustling. More than 100 merchants also tried every means to attract customers on the first day of opening.

The entire commercial street is very lively, full of people's voices, it can really be called shoulder-to-shoulder crowd, walking back and forth a few times would probably wear out the clothes.

In order to prevent the crowd from continuing to pour in, Liu Ji deployed manpower on both sides of the commercial street to prevent the crowd from continuing to enter the commercial street.If you want to enter, you can only let some people in after the other end has released some people.

Under the leadership of Liu Ji, all the people in the Department of Civil Affairs' yamen were very busy. Just like this, 2000 people were transferred from the military camp to help maintain order.

It was bustling outside, but Jiang Chuan was looking at a secret letter from Bai Jinxiu just received from Datong City in the Hou Mansion.

The secret letter was transferred from the Black Ice Terrace distribution in the capital.It was said that it was Li Jinzhong, the eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies, and it was the message from Li Jinzhong who was wooed by Jiang Chuan after he came to pass the decree last time.

According to the news, Yuan Chonghuan continued to preside over the suppression of bandits after he was recalled to Beijing by the emperor.But I don't know if Yuan Chonghuan's methods didn't work anymore, or the bandits became more cunning. They lost consecutive battles and lost troops. The emperor sent Yuan Chonghuan to prison in a rage.

Now a minister named Sun Chuanting has been replaced as the commander-in-chief to continue to support the suppression of bandits.

After reading the news, Jiang Chuan sighed. It seems that Yuan Dushi's luck has changed since he met him, and he really doesn't know what will happen.

Sun Chuanting?It was another familiar name, and he seemed to be a fierce person too.But Jiang Chuan didn't think it was realistic to say that this guy could kill Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

Of course, what he is thinking about now is not this problem, but a farther problem.

Because, the news sent by Li Jinzhong said that the old emperor of Ming Dynasty was ill, and it was still very serious. Sometimes he was awake and sometimes he was in a coma.

　There are also updates.
