Go back to ancient times to engage in sideline business

Tang Zhong imitated the appearance of a zombie, groping all the way with his teeth and claws, until he was sure that Deng Erhu had really fainted, then wiped the ashes from his face, and hurriedly picked the person in.

When he crossed over earlier, this kid was frightened and fainted on the spot. It can be seen that he is a coward and afraid of ghosts. I didn't expect to scare him repeatedly today, and it was really successful.

Hu Tou'er went under the city wall to check the results of spraying insecticides. Before leaving, he was in a good mood, and told Tang Zhong that his funeral leave was not used up, and even if he stayed here for the remaining four days, he didn't have to guard the city gate.

See, the benefits of building a good relationship with your boss are immediate.

Tang Zhong dragged Deng Erhu to the bed, brought the charcoal brazier outside, tidied up his hair, and swaggered out to go shopping.

Qingjiang County is a small inland city, with two main streets, one horizontal and one vertical, dividing the county into several pieces like cutting tofu.

The area near the east gate, next to the market, is mostly populated by ordinary people.On the other side of the west city gate is an out-and-out wealthy area.

Outside the West City Gate is the official road, and there are often business travelers and dignitaries passing by. They are all rich masters who are not short of money, and they eat and drink carefully.There are some high-grade restaurants and guest houses in Qingjiang County, all of which are located in the west.

When Tang Zhong wanted to find Fuxing Restaurant, he went to Baima West Street where there were many restaurants.

Seeing Tang Zhong coming in, Liu Zi, the clerk of Fuxing Restaurant, frowned.Isn't the previous mule matter over?Why did you still come to the door?

Fajiu returned to Fajiu, pretending to be nonchalant, still full of enthusiasm: "Hey, the messenger is here? Please sit down, what do you want to eat?"

"I'm here to find your shopkeeper."

"Okay! You sit down first, I'll go to the back and call him." Liu Zi heaved a sigh of relief, he didn't come to look for him, let shopkeeper Liu take care of all the big things!

I heard that it was the city gate guard who led the mule by the hand, shopkeeper Liu had a bad heart, and the servants were no more than ordinary people, regardless of their positions, they were all masters.

"Oh, thank you for bringing back the mule from the small shop. I just said when I would come to the door to thank you. I didn't expect you to come here first. Sixth son, let's have some tea."

Don't look at Shopkeeper Liu's beard, but when it comes to compliments, his mouth is like touching honey.

Tang Zhong didn't want to play Tai Chi with him, but he wanted to talk about serious things when he came here this time.

"The shopkeeper is very polite. I borrowed the black mule from your store and took it for myself. It is really unreasonable. So I came here this time to make up for it." Tang Zhong paused and looked around, "May I ask the shopkeeper, your How is the business of the store recently?"

If you don't know each other before and ask about your income, how can the average person tell the truth?Shopkeeper Liu laughed dryly: "Not bad, not bad."

"I sincerely want to help and make up for the previous mistakes. If the shopkeeper is inconvenient to disclose, I will go to Dayimen next door and give them the method of soliciting business." After Tang Zhong finished speaking, he got up and left.

"Hey, don't rush away!" Shopkeeper Liu pulled his arm quickly and sighed again and again.

In fact, whether the business is good or not, why do you need to say it yourself, when it is time to eat, you can come to the restaurant door and take a look, and you can see it clearly.

Although his Fuxing Restaurant opened earlier, it has become more and more difficult to do business in his generation.

In terms of luxurious cuisine, it can't compare to Dayimen and Pinyaju in the front. Not only do they have a variety of dishes, but they are also full of rare seafood.

In terms of cheap and affordable, it can't compare with the small restaurants in the alley.Although the taste may be mediocre, the price is low and the portion is sufficient. The men who work nearby like to eat in the alley.

He thought about taking the high-end route and selling some delicacies from mountains and seas.However, due to lack of contacts, he couldn't buy fresh mountain products and seafood.

I also thought about lowering the price, but seeing that the decoration in the store is quite high-grade, the men who do the work are not even willing to step in.

Hey, business is difficult, so let's just dawdle!If one day I really can't make it, I will dismiss the cooks and buddies, sell the restaurant, and return to my hometown to farm by myself!

The shopkeeper was poked at the sore spot, but he didn't dare to expect too much, and asked cautiously, "What can I do?"

Tang Zhong pretended to be tricky, and sat upright again: "Please use the pen and paper."

"Quick, go to the counter and get a pen and paper!"

Wow, a large piece of plain white rice paper was spread out on the table, shopkeeper Liu personally took the ink, dipped it in water, and rubbed it in circles on the inkstone.When the ink color melted evenly, he dipped the pen himself and handed it to Tang Zhong respectfully.

Tang Zhong didn't answer it, as if he remembered something.

"Almost forgot, I still need a pair of scissors."

"Quick, go to the kitchen and get the scissors!"

Shopkeeper Liu pointed to the backyard, and the six sons rushed out in a hurry.

When the tools were ready, under the attention of the shopkeeper and the cook, Tang Zhong picked up his sleeves and stood up, folded the rice paper in front of him evenly with the corners, folded it in half five times, unfolded it, followed the creases on the paper, folded the rice paper Cut into long strips.

After asking about the average billing amount of each table, Tang Zhong paused for a while, and wrote quickly.

The three onlookers had already raised their curiosity to their throats, but the next moment they saw Tang Zhong holding a pen gesture like a fire stick, their hearts suddenly became cold, and when they saw the big characters written like a dog's plank, they all regretted just now Too enthusiastic.

Tang Zhong didn't know anything about the three disgusting eyes around him, and confidently wrote two lines of big characters on the note: Fuxing Restaurant's big reward at the end of the year, coupons for ten coins minus three coins.

The ugly handwriting is not the most important thing. After Tang Zhong finished writing with a big wave of his hand, shopkeeper Liu pointed to the discount amount on the second line and said worryingly: "Didn't you just tell the poor man that most people come to the store and pay for a meal?" It’s only seven or eight coins, and few people pay more than ten coins, so how many people can use it if it’s written like this?”

"You don't understand this. If they are allowed to consume independently, of course they are still at the level of seven or eight yuan, but now they can eat meals that can usually be bought for ten yuan for seven yuan. Everyone will feel that they are taking advantage of it. I'll save you a few bucks!"

Tang Zhong patted his chest, the turnover of this meal tonight was covered by him.He is quite confident in the developed marketing methods of later generations.

After ordering the cook to go back to prepare the dishes, Tang Zhong, shopkeeper Liu, and the six assistants each received a stack of coupons and distributed them on the street.

Luckily, the six sons are used to greeting customers, and when handing out coupons to people on the street, they can simply explain that this is a voucher for a cheap meal at night.

When it was Shopkeeper Liu's turn, he couldn't do it. When he gave out coupons to others, he would just smile awkwardly at the other party, making several passers-by confused, throwing down the coupons, turning around and leaving.

Tang Zhong thought he couldn't do it, so he had to give them an excellent demonstration.

Under the pressure of earning money, face is not important at all.Tang Zhong walked directly to the place where the most people were under the west gate, and he opened his mouth and came.

"Hey! Let's take a look around! Fuxing Restaurant has a big year-end bonus, and it's cheap to eat a big meal! This big brother, take it, come here when you have time at night, and you can get three back if you eat ten cents.

Hey, grandma, take a look!What?Don't know the words above?You don't need to cook at night, just take a note and come to Fuxing Restaurant with your family to eat, it's very cheap! "

Seeing Tang Zhong working so hard, the six fellows are learning and selling, and immediately picked up his rhetoric.Shopkeeper Liu also reluctantly tried to save face, and followed behind to try to imitate the example.

Soon, the three of them flashed the coupons, and when they returned to the store, they kept filling their stomachs with tea.

"I don't know if it's useful? Will they really come at night?"

Shopkeeper Liu put the empty teacup aside melancholy. Today he is willing to go all out. When distributing coupons, all the shopkeepers and shopkeepers from restaurants and restaurants on the street came out to watch with their own eyes. , where is his old face?

Tang Zhongcai didn't have time to answer boring questions, so he turned his head and told the six sons: "Be smart when greeting guests tonight. Some guests may not understand the meaning of coupons. When asking, be sure to explain patiently. Be considerate to guests. Be polite, even if you are a little tired, but you can't make the guests feel neglected."

After finishing speaking, he patted the arm of shopkeeper Liu again: "Tell the cook, the action of serving the dishes will be quicker. If there are not enough people, I can go to the back kitchen to help. Remember, no matter how many guests there are, the portion of each dish must be enough. Today Our customers are very important, we cannot let them down. Otherwise, the business will be even more difficult in the future!"

Shopkeeper Liu promised again and again, but his heart was still pounding. It was almost dinner time, and there was still no customer in the store. What's the use of talking about it?

After about a cup of tea, two brightly dressed men came to the door. The purple shirted man was handsome. He looked at the coupons in his hand and at the shop sign, hesitating whether to come in.

The man in the blue shirt behind him stood with his hands behind his back, with an elegant demeanor, as if he had nothing to do with himself.

Tang Zhong's eyes were quick and his legs were quick, Ma Liu jumped over.

"Welcome to the two guests, come in quickly!"

The man in the purple shirt raised the coupon in his hand, and said with a foreign accent: "I heard that as long as you come here with this voucher, you can pay less for meals, but is it true?"

"Yes, guest officer. For every ten copper coins you spend in the shop, you can pay three coins less. Would you like to come in and have a look at the menu?"

"So, if you eat at Fuxing Restaurant, you only need to give [-]% when you pay?"

While talking, the man in the purple shirt turned his head to glance at the man in the blue shirt behind him, obviously the words were meant for him.

"If the guest officials are interested in patronizing, the small shop will give you a small change, and it doesn't matter if you give the two guest officials [-]%! In fact, it doesn't matter how much the two guest officials eat. As long as they eat comfortably, it is our honor at Fuxing Restaurant!"

"You are still generous! Unlike some people, who are shy about even entertaining guests." The man in purple shirt snorted, and strode towards the threshold with big strides. The man in green shirt behind him shook his head and followed helplessly.

"Okay! Two distinguished guests, please!" Tang Zhong made a gesture of invitation, walked ahead and led the two of them to sit down in front of the door. The six sons immediately came over to say hello, pouring tea and fluently reporting the names of the dishes. .

Shopkeeper Liu's face wiped away most of the worry. Judging by their attire, they should be wealthy sons passing by, people who are not short of money.

He was about to praise Tang Zhong, when someone came to the door again, Tang Zhong consciously went over to greet him, completely treating himself as an outsider.

After a while, the eight tables in the restaurant were full, and there were still people who Tang Zhong had temporarily arranged to wait on the benches at the door.

These guests were holding square pieces of paper marked with numbers in their hands. Tang Zhong said that as soon as there were vacant seats inside, the guests with the corresponding numbers would be invited in for dinner.

It was a good arrangement. Seeing the long queue waiting for a seat, and Tang Zhong who was so busy running back and forth in the front hall and the back kitchen, shopkeeper Liu forgot his status as an official servant for a while, and was thinking about when he would be recruited into the shop to run the hall. .

But after a moment of complacency, shopkeeper Liu faced the noisy guests at the door, and faced another difficulty.

The author has something to say:

Shopkeeper Liu: I’ve seen it all, why don’t you bookmark it!The bearded old man compared his heart——
