Take Taobao to ancient times

Opening a restaurant seems simple, but it is not so easy in practice, especially in the capital city.

Whether it is ancient or modern, the more prosperous the place, the higher the house price. This is an unchanging rule.

The Lu's restaurant in the county was opened when Lu Siyu didn't have enough funds, but the price of that restaurant was cheap, and it was only in a small county with little competition.

However, it is not so easy to open a restaurant in the capital. Not to mention anything else, generally restaurants that can gain a foothold in the capital have unique craftsmanship. There are several delicacies unknown to outsiders, which can be called delicacies.

"What's the future of opening a restaurant? If you want to open it, you have to open a restaurant!" Song Jue said, patting the table.

"I'm joking, not to mention restaurants, even restaurants require a lot of effort, and I'm afraid every restaurant in the capital has someone behind it." Lu Siyu hesitated, with his strength, it was not enough to fight against others, so he rushed forward rashly. Looking up will only become a thorn in the side of others, a thorn in the flesh, and it will be pulled out quickly.

"Xiao Yu, are you serious?" Song Jue asked, looking at Zhuang Jinhan who was sitting aside, "Is he really serious?"

"I'm afraid Xiaoyu is going to do it by herself." Zhuang Jinhan smiled. He knew Lu Siyu's temper, and he would never think of using external force to expand his restaurant business.

"How can this work?" Song Jue looked at Lu Siyu and said persuasively, "Xiao Yu, you still cooperate with me in business, why don't you have this awareness? It's true that restaurants in the capital need someone if they want to keep running. But the role of this person is different, the focus is on deterrence, not pressure, do you understand?"

"What does uncle mean?" Lu Siyu asked cautiously.

"There is someone behind you, why not use it?" Song Jue said bluntly.

"Will it be bad?" Lu Siyu hesitated. He always felt that the officialdom was unfathomable, and he didn't plan to enter the officialdom. Naturally, he didn't intend to use Zhuang Jinhan's power.

This time I plan to open a restaurant in the capital because chili peppers are still a rarity so far, and he lives in the capital now, and the people in the capital are relatively rich, so opening a Lujia restaurant in the capital should not plan to lose money.

However, what Song Jue meant seemed to be to say either not to do it, or to make it bigger and directly open a restaurant.

"What's wrong with me? For example, I am an imperial merchant, so I naturally want to do business under the banner of the emperor. Without the support of the emperor, my business cannot continue." Song Jue said seriously.

"Uncle's business is different from mine. What I do is just a small business." Lu Siyu whispered.

"So that's what you mean? Just open a restaurant and use chili for business?" Song Jue asked.

"Well," Lu Siyu nodded, "Chili peppers are also a rare commodity in the capital, and I should be able to attract some diners by doing business with chili peppers. As long as there are more regular customers, there will be no worries about no business."

"Then have you ever thought that chili peppers are indeed a rare commodity. It was fine if you were just doing small things in the county. Now that you have brought chili peppers to the capital and opened a restaurant in the capital, you mean that you intend to keep a low profile. , but can you really keep a low profile?" Song Jue asked again.

"What do you mean, Uncle?" Lu Siyu frowned, thinking a little bit in his heart.

"You want to start small, don't rely on anyone to open a restaurant, and use rare things like chili to attract regular customers. In this case, everyone knows that you have no backer. Do you think someone will do anything to your small restaurant?" Song Jue asked.

"Yes." Lu Siyu said firmly, "As long as someone can see the future of the chili business, they will definitely pay my attention."

Lu Siyu is not stupid. He immediately understood Song Jue's meaning when he heard Song Jue's words. Generally, people in the capital are very far-sighted and know who can touch and who can't. Those who obviously have backgrounds, they will never Touch, on the contrary, those who have no background, but have one or two eye-catching good things in their hands, such an existence will definitely make people unable to resist.

Although Song Jue and Zhuang Jinhan would definitely help Lu Siyu if someone really attacked Lu Siyu, but by that time, he had already caused a lot of trouble, and he, who had never wanted to ask for help, reached the point where he had to ask for help.

Of course, there is also a possibility that no one is interested in his things. He started from a small restaurant and gradually expanded it, but if he wants to improve his career, he will eventually open a restaurant. Once you open a restaurant, if there is no one behind you, the possibility of being troubled will not be lower than if you open a restaurant now.

"I understand what uncle means." Lu Siyu laughed.

"Then do you plan to open a restaurant or a restaurant?" Song Jue asked with a smile.

"Since the restaurant is going to be opened, it has to be opened," Lu Siyu immediately said, "But I don't have enough silver, I'm afraid I need to borrow some from my uncle, but my uncle also knows my situation, and there is no collateral."

"With this kid here, are you afraid that you won't have any collateral?" Song Jue patted Zhuang Jinhan's shoulder, "Jinhan, don't you think so?"

"Uncle?" Zhuang Jinhan looked at Song Jue, feeling that there was something in Song Jue's words.

"Okay, I still have something to do. Xiao Yu, you should think about opening a restaurant. If you have any ideas, you can come to me anytime." Song Jue got up, "Jin Han, come out with me."

"Young uncle, why don't you go after eating first." Lu Siyu got up quickly.

"No, your little aunt and Song Chen's child are still waiting at home. I will leave after a few words with Jin Han." Song Jue laughed.

"Okay, Brother Zhuang will stay for dinner later, and I'll cook." Lu Siyu looked at Zhuang Jinhan.

"Okay." Zhuang Jinhan smiled, and then went out with Song Jue.

"Jin Han, how are you doing recently?" Song Jue asked.

"It's still the same as before. Almost all the crops can be harvested these days, but there are also some withered crops. We need to study their growth habits carefully." Zhuang Jinhan replied earnestly. He has read a lot of agricultural related articles during this time. Books, I can say a few words when I am on duty recently.

"That's fine, I can share some of the burden for the emperor, but I called you out today not because of this matter, but because I want to tell you about your marriage." Song Jue said seriously with a straight face.

"Uncle..." Zhuang Jinhan frowned.

"It's not that my uncle wants to meddle in other people's business, it's just that you are my nephew after all, and when I was having dinner with my sister, my sister also mentioned your marriage, you are not young, even if you are not married now, you should take good care of each other By the way, what do you think?" Song Jue asked back.

"Uncle, I have no plans to get married yet, and I don't plan to see each other, so as not to delay others." Zhuang Jinhan whispered, his current plan is to delay as long as he can, first withstand the pressure of getting married, and then think about it for the future.

"Jin Han, a manly man should be self-cultivating, governing the family, governing the country, and the world. How long can you procrastinate? Even if my sister is considerate, what about brother-in-law, do you think brother-in-law will let you be so capricious?" Song Jue said seriously Looking at Zhuang Jinhan.

"Uncle, no matter what my parents think, I won't get married within five years." Zhuang Jinhan said seriously.

"Five years, I hope you can do it. Before you do it, don't be willful." Song Jue glanced at Zhuang Jinhan, patted him on the shoulder, and left the yard.

Zhuang Jinhan stood there thinking for a long time, thinking about the meaning of Song Jue's words, don't be willful until he does it, what does it mean?

"Is uncle gone?" Lu Siyu stood at the door with a shovel in his hand, looking at Zhuang Jinhan.

"Well, my uncle just left, but it's a pity that my uncle didn't have the chance to taste Xiaoyu's delicious food." Zhuang Jinhan looked at Lu Siyu, and suddenly had an amazing idea in his heart. Maybe Song Jue already knew what he was thinking?

But he never told anyone about it, nor did he show it in front of anyone. Why did Song Jue notice it?

But if Song Jue didn't notice it, why did he say that just now?

Are you telling him that if you really like someone, you have to be responsible, or are you telling him that his father's test is not easy, and not getting married within five years is just the first step, and then it is slowly running in, if he is in this period If you reveal the slightest bit to Lu Siyu, the pressure will also fall on Lu Siyu.

Zhuang Jinhan looked at Lu Siyu's brisk expression, and thought that once he revealed it, the same pressure would fall on him. Perhaps Lu Siyu's expression would no longer be so brisk since then. If that was the case, he really didn't want Lu Siyu to bear the burden part of the pressure.

"Brother Zhuang, are you okay? You seem to have something on your mind? Did my uncle say something just now?" Lu Siyu asked, looking a little strange at Zhuang Jinhan's frowning expression.

"No, it's just that something happened to one of my friends." Zhuang Jinhan shook his head, "My friend has his own opinions since he was a child, but he rarely let his parents worry about him, but not long ago he suddenly told his parents that he liked a man, Right now I am arguing with my family."

"Like... a man?" Lu Siyu was surprised. He knew that in this era, men and men are allowed to fall in love. There is also a law. If two men or two women really love each other, they can form a bond. In theory, they can form a bond. A deed is equivalent to getting married.

When he first found out about this, he still found it unbelievable. He didn't expect that the laws of this era are more tolerant than modern times. But when he really lived in this era, he realized that even with such laws, men and women who really bonded There are still very few of them, and the biggest obstacle is the conventional thinking of this era.

For example, "There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and the greatest is to have no descendants."

Another example is "more children, more blessings".

Due to various reasons, even though marriage between men and women is legal in this era, Lu Siyu has never actually seen it, but he has heard of it. For example, there is such a couple in a distant village, or for example, XX and XX in the capital are the same. Regarding such a statement, these examples are far away, and Lu Siyu is only a legend, but Zhuang Jinhan's words made this matter suddenly become a matter around him.
