Take Taobao to ancient times

"It used to be a restaurant, but the original owner left the capital for business, so he sold the restaurant." Song Jue introduced, explaining the origin of the restaurant.

Lu Siyu looked up at the restaurant. His experience in catering management was only in the previous Lu's restaurant. At that time, if he had no choice, the shopkeeper Zhao would not have made a move. Therefore, the Lu's restaurant looks very good, and there is no need to spend a lot of time to renovate it. .

But this restaurant is different. He thinks that Song Jue probably wants to make the situation of the restaurant better. The original owner of this restaurant probably has thought of quitting it long ago, so the restaurant looks very dilapidated, even if it is a three-story building. The building, and it looks quite small, also makes people not interested in going in and eating.

He looked at the flow of people and the environment around him again, frowning slightly.

"What's Xiaoyu thinking?" Song Jue asked with a smile beside her.

"I just find it strange," Lu Siyu frowned. "Actually, this area is not desolate. There are still traces of stalls in those places. It can be seen that this place used to be a bustling street, but now few people pass by here. What happened to make this place look like this?"

"Well," Song Jue nodded with a smile behind his back, "Someone wanted to take away the customers, so they forcibly evacuated all the stalls in this area."

"Is this okay?" Lu Siyu's eyes widened in shock. He thought that some accident had caused the traffic in this area to suddenly decrease, but he didn't expect it to be caused by human beings?

"Why not? Without customers, their business can't be done. Forcibly evacuating the stalls in this area can take away the nearby customers. This is also a way to do business." Song Jue said indifferently, obviously not interested in such a thing It has long been commonplace.

"It's no wonder that there are so few people here despite the fact that there are so many prosperous streets here. If it's the government's action, it's not surprising that such a situation occurs." Lu Siyu nodded. He had heard Song Jue say that behind the big restaurants in the capital There are basically people there, and this dilapidated-looking restaurant is probably one of the rare times when there is no one behind it, so if you don't move it, you can move it.

"What do Xiao Yu think of this way of doing business?" Song Jue asked suddenly.

"It's not benevolent, but there is nothing wrong with it." Lu Siyu thought for a moment and came up with this answer.

"Oh? So Xiaoyu thinks it's okay for those people to snatch guests away in this way?" Song Jue asked curiously with a smile.

"It's not a question of whether it's feasible, but that they have the ability, so they can do this. Of course, for the former owner of this restaurant, such a thing must be something that makes him gnash his teeth." Lu Siyu was not so cynical, Since he is in such an era, he will naturally blend into it.

"Don't Xiaoyu feel sorry for the former owner of this restaurant?" Song Jue looked at Lu Siyu and asked.

"Uncle, did the former owner of this restaurant really rely on his own ability to buy the restaurant?" Lu Siyu asked back. It wasn't that he doubted the other party's strength, but under such a background of the times, he felt that he wanted to leave alone. To the point of being able to open a restaurant in the capital, there will never be no backstage.

"Hahahahahaha, this question is really on point. Say you are familiar with the officialdom, sometimes you are really slow to respond, but you are not familiar with the officialdom, but sometimes you react quickly. You have never wanted to be an official. , I thought it was because I didn't like the officialdom environment." Song Jue laughed, and didn't answer Lu Siyu's question directly, but it was equivalent to giving an answer in disguise.

"I just feel that I am not suitable to be an official. The relationship between officials and businessmen in my dynasty is closer than that of the previous dynasty. This kind of development has brought out many relationships that should have been in the dark in the previous dynasty. Merchants use the power of officials There is nothing wrong with doing something, even if I am myself, am I using the power of brother Zhuang and uncle to act?" Lu Siyu asked with a smile, he himself is acting on the basis of the situation, so how can he say that others use power to oppress others.

"You're right, collusion between government and businessmen is better on the bright side than in the dark," Song Jue said with a smile, "But from Xiao Yu's point of view, it seems that he has other ideas?"

"It's just my humble opinion, but brother-in-law, do we really want to chat outside? Even if we have no problem, it doesn't seem good for Master Qi to stand outside with him." Lu Siyu said, Song Jue aligned with the attitude of the young master, Zhuang Xiang aligned The attitude of the young master, all of this shows that the identity of the young master Qi is not simple.

With such an identity, it doesn't seem very good for him to stand on the street, even if there are not many people around him.

"Look at my brain, I can't stop chatting with you, Young Master Qi, Jin Han, let's go in and sit down, and have a good chat about the restaurant in the future." Song Jue hurriedly called everyone into the restaurant.

Different from the dilapidated outside, the interior of the restaurant is fairly clean, but probably because there have been no customers for a long time, and the original owner did not pay much attention to the situation of the restaurant, there is still a faint musty smell.

"I've come to see it before. This restaurant has been abandoned. Maybe it's the best choice to push it back to rebuild." Song Jue said with a frown.

"It will cost a lot of money until it is rebuilt." Lu Siyu said with emotion, he has not forgotten that this restaurant is his, so he should also pay for the demolition and reconstruction.

"Regret?" Song Jue smiled.

"How could I regret it," Lu Siyu said with a smile, "With my uncle here, this restaurant will definitely have business, and even if the money in the early stage is not enough, there is still my uncle. How much money needs to be repaid will be deducted from the profit after the restaurant opened. , After paying off the debt to my uncle, I will take the profit."

"Why does it sound strange to me, Jinhan, what do you think?" Song Jue looked at Zhuang Jinhan, hoping that he would give an answer.

"Opening the restaurant was suggested by my uncle, and Brother Yu just agrees. Even if he is empty-handed, my uncle will accept his fate." Zhuang Jinhan said with a smile. He knew the purpose of opening this restaurant very well, so he joked casually at this time .

"Why do I have a nephew like you?" Song Jue glared at Zhuang Jinhan.

"Uncle, why don't you ask my mother." Zhuang Jinhan said with a smile.

"Forget it, never ask you if you're on Xiao Yu's side." Song Jue waved his hand, then looked at the other person, "Master Qi, please comment, is this justified?"

"I don't know if it's reasonable or not, but it's the first time you've been bullied by two juniors. Tell me what's going on with you. It seems that your son is also bullying you like that?" The emperor laughed, just a melon passerby.

"Oh, the house is unfortunate. No one respects me as an elder," Song Jue shook his head, and looked at Lu Siyu again, "Xiaoyu, what do you think about the reconstruction of this restaurant? The one in the county can be moved here, but not Move over exactly the same."

"Well, very few people do what Lu's Restaurant does. It's just a novelty, but if this restaurant is going to be rebuilt, it's best to do something." Lu Siyu said.

"Oh? Which point?" Song Jue asked

"To make it more high-end," Lu Siyu said earnestly, "I'm afraid the purpose of building this restaurant is to attract more high-ranking officials and nobles, so it's best for them to feel special treatment, such as food, or private rooms." Serve."

"Just right, since you have such an idea, write me a plan later, okay?" Song Jue smiled.

"Ah?" Lu Siyu suddenly raised his head.

"Well, isn't this your restaurant, why don't you put in more effort?" Song Jue still smiled.

"Okay." Lu Siyu said helplessly, looking at the dilapidated restaurant, he always felt that he had taken a lot of work these days, how can the private rooms in the restaurant be more high-end?It would be fine if he just said a few words, but he still asked him to come up with a plan, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him.

Fortunately, this place is ancient and not modern, and Song Jue promised to bring in the imperial chef to be the head chef. In this way, the problem of food is not a big problem, and the main problem after that is the service to keep up.

Haidilao service?

Well, go back to Taobao to see if there are any books introducing Haidilao's services.

After Young Master Qi went back, Song Jue specially accompanied him.

"This Lu Siyu is far better than I imagined." The emperor laughed.

"Yes, Xiaoyu is indeed a good businessman, but he doesn't seem to be aiming at that." Song Jue said.

"Huh? Then what is his ambition?" The emperor was also a little curious.

"I don't know. I asked Xiaoyu before if he was willing to take over and become an imperial merchant, but he refused. Just looking at the things Xiaoyu tossed out, most of them are good things for the country and the people, including bicycles. Even now It can't be expanded due to cost, and it will definitely be useful in the future." Song Jue said that he couldn't figure out Lu Siyu's situation, nor what he was thinking.

"According to what you say, he seems to have his own ideas?" asked the emperor.

"Well, but maybe it's just muddling along, thinking about it is one thing," Song Jue said with a smile, "If he is willing to become an imperial merchant, that would be great."

"Song Qing is in the prime of life, why do you plan to give up the position of Emperor Shang?" The emperor looked at Song Jue and said.

"I'm too tired. I haven't been with my wife and children for a long time," Song Jue shook his head. "In the beginning, I wanted to do business because I wanted to have my own career. I didn't intend to become an imperial merchant."

"Thank you for your hard work. It's just that I just ascended the throne not long ago, and I really don't have anyone on hand. After a few years, I will have more people on hand, and I can let Song Qing share some of them." The emperor said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Song Jue cupped his hands in thanks.

After watching the emperor's people escort him back to the palace, Song Jue turned around and walked towards the restaurant.

"Where are Xiaoyu and Jinhan?"

"Back to Master, Mr. Lu and Mr. Zhuang said they have something important to do, so they went to the suburban village." Song Jue's people said quickly.

"Close the door, let's go over and have a look. I thought there was something wrong with the two of them before, and they probably played some tricks." Song Jue said, thinking that maybe Lu Siyu had discovered some special crops again, but he only wanted to Halfway through, I saw the servant's finger pointing somewhere.
