I rely on pancakes to become rich [farming]
Chapter 48
"The Qiao family?" Ji Mingwu's expression suddenly became serious, "When did it happen?"
"About a month ago." Li Si replied, "Wang Er's body was discovered first. After reporting to the village chief, I thought it was the missing Qiao Dani. The whole family is missing."
Li Si's face became more serious, and he continued: "I went to see Wang Er's body quietly. Although it was well hidden, it can still be seen that it was caused by the weapon of Jinxiumen."
Ji Mingwu was silent for a while, his handsome sword eyebrows were tightly frowned, and his right hand subconsciously clenched the crutch.
Li Si felt Ji Mingwu's momentum suddenly changed, held his breath, and said cautiously: "Don't worry about the safety of the town. I wrote back to the Zongmen and sent more people. , and will never succeed.”
He frowned: "It's just a little strange. If Jinxiumen found the traces of the junior uncle, why would they choose the Qiao family to attack? Could it be that the Qiao family is the Yue family of the junior uncle, and it is easier to attack?"
—I'm afraid it's not for him, but for...
Ji Mingwu's face was still gloomy, but he was still stroking the crutch with his right hand, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Find time to remind Ah Ji not to go out alone, and be sure to go with you or Qian Ping."
Li Si was stunned for a moment: "Young Master Uncle is afraid that Jinxiumen will kidnap the master and threaten you?"
Ji Mingwu shook his head: "Just do it."
Li Si thought for a while and asked again: "Should I tell my boss about this?"
Ji Mingwu was silent for a moment before asking: "Do other people know about this matter?"
"I know. The head of the village will temporarily determine that Qiao Dani killed her husband and absconded. Qiao's family probably also fled together. This topic is also discussed in the town."
"Then you don't have to take the initiative to bring it up with Ah Ji, but you don't have to hide it deliberately. If he asks you, just say it directly. It's good to hide the part of the Jinxiu Gate."
...
When Ji Mingwu returned to the room, he found that Zhou Yang and Mrs. Wu were standing up. Zhou Yang had a silly smile on his face, and Mrs. Wu's cheeks were also flushed, and the two of them were still holding hands tightly.
Yan Moji saw Ji Mingwu coming, waved to him, and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, come quickly, and send blessings to our newcomer."
Lady Wu shook her hand, the blush on her face subsided a little, she said with a wry smile: "Master, don't play tricks on this servant."
——Ji Dong's family is the benefactor who saved her life, how can there be any reason to ask benefactor to send her blessings?
Yan Moji smiled and said, "When did you two happen, and I didn't notice it at all before I left the town?"
Lady Wu glanced sideways at Zhou Yang, who was smiling happily beside her, with a layer of blissful shame on her face, which made her look a little more delicate: "It's just something that happened in the last two months."
"Happy event, happy event!" Seeing Zhou Yang and Miss Wu tie the knot at the assorted food, Yan Moji was also very happy, "Have you married yet?"
"No, I discussed it with Lao Zhou. We are not young anymore, and we are the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes. We don't stick to this." Mrs. Wu smiled, "It's enough for the two of us to live in peace and stability."
Zhang Sanlang sat in the corner of the banquet, watching Zhou Yang and Miss Wu standing in the middle to accept everyone's blessings, his eyes couldn't help showing a look of longing.
Qian Ping came up with new dishes, and happened to meet Zhang Sanlang's eyes.Because Li Si always took Zhang Sanlang with him, Qian Ping also regarded Zhang Sanlang as his nephew in his heart, so he smiled and said, "Does Sanlang want to get married too?"
Zhang Sanlang came back to his senses, his face blushed slightly: "What's the matter?"
Qian Ping put the dishes on the table and said, "Sanlang is seventeen this year, right? It's time to get married."
Zhang Sanlang's eyes lit up, he was a little bit shy, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Ping, your sect...does it have any restrictions on the marriage of disciples?"
——What does this have to do with their sect?
Qian Ping was a little confused, but still replied: "There is no restriction, as long as it does not violate the morals of the world and the rules of the sect, just marry if you like it."
"Oh!" Zhang Sanlang was relieved, his eyes were bright, and he glanced at Li Si who had just entered the door.
After the quarrel between Zhou Yang and Miss Wu, who had become a couple, Yan Moji asked about the assorted food in the town.
According to what Li Si and Aunt Zhang said, the assorted food business in the town is very stable. Although due to the upper limit of the number of people in the town, it is already close to saturation, but with the development strategy and advice left by Yan Moji, it is still slowly rising with.
Assorted Food has now been completely handed over to Ji's father and mother, as well as the old people who have worked in Assorted Food for a long time.
Although Li Si and Qian Ping both left the town, they left a few nephews there to ensure that they could suppress those scattered people who stayed in the town and did not want to come to Qingzhou City.
But they can't be called Jianghu Sanren now, they completely regard themselves as a member of Shi Jin Shi, and when they hear someone say sour words about Shi Jin Shi outside, some of them can't help but want to fight.
Yan Moji was also very satisfied to be able to give these people a sense of belonging.
During a welcome banquet, everyone drank a lot. Yan Moji arranged accommodation for everyone who came to Qingzhou City. Li Si offered to stay at the dessert station with Qian Ping. The Zhang family and Zhou Yang's couple lived together In the backyard wing of the mixed food hot pot restaurant, the others also arranged their own accommodation.
Zhang Sanlang's eyes on Li Si suddenly became resentful.
Li Si didn't know what to do, and left affectionately with the inexplicable Qian Ping.
"Fourth brother, why are you pulling me like this?" Qian Ping looked at Li Si holding his hand a little speechlessly, and seeing that there was no one around, his inner strength shook him away, "What if others mistakenly think that I am What a masculine style, how will you marry a daughter-in-law in the future."
Li Sibai glanced at him: "Don't worry, you are just a piece of wood, which girl would like you?"
Qian Ping snorted, "Now I'm the owner of a dessert station, and many girls come to inquire about my situation."
Li Si glanced at him in surprise, his expression suddenly became more serious: "Qian Ping, don't harm the girl of a good family, we people in the Jianghu are precarious, maybe someday..."
Qian Ping glanced at him, a little displeased: "I don't have much interest in wandering in the rivers and lakes... If the sect didn't arrange for me to go down the mountain to listen to my junior uncle, I would rather stay in the sect for the rest of my life."
"Then the sect offered you a shift last time, why did you refuse?"
Qian Ping smiled a little embarrassedly: "I think the owner's place is very good, do the workmanship, and study the desserts. Let me tell you, brother four, last time I tried to apply the sand-splitting sword method into the dessert making, and it didn't work. Thinking of the extra strength of the cakes, the owner also suggested that I try making fudge!"
When it came to making desserts, Qian Ping's expression suddenly brightened.
Li Si looked at this junior who hadn't seen him for a few months, and suddenly there were some juniors he didn't know very well, and his expression was a little dazed: "But... Jianghu is different from ordinary people after all..."
"My boss, what's the difference here? Don't you have two eyes and one mouth?" Qian Ping said disapprovingly, "There are a few female help cooks in the dessert station, and they asked me if I have any martial arts and body skills to lose weight, and said It's all my fault for making desserts, so they have to cut out new clothes every other month, and they are even asked by their in-laws if they are pregnant..."
Listening to Qian Ping talking about his relationship with ordinary people in Qingzhou City, Li Si's expression suddenly fell silent.
Qian Ping talked for a long time, but Li Si didn't respond. He was a little puzzled: "Fourth brother, what's wrong with you today?"
After a long time, Li Si suddenly laughed easily, and the gloom disappeared from his expression: "It's okay, I just didn't expect that one day, I would be taught by you."
Qian Ping was stunned again: "Ah? What did I teach you?"
Li Si laughed and walked forward first: "It's nothing, when you get married, remember to tell your fourth brother that I will wrap you a big red envelope-of course, when I get married, you have to wrap it for me too." big!"
"I haven't written my horoscope yet, why are you talking about getting married all of a sudden?" Qian Ping muttered, raising his legs to follow.
...
The backbone of Assorted Food came quite a lot, and Yan Moji hurriedly held a follow-up development meeting the next day.
Regarding the follow-up development plan of Assorted Food, Yan Moji did not make his own decision this time, but handed it over to these people who already had enough experience to discuss and speak freely.
The theme of the meeting was the next development plan of Assorted Food in Qingzhou City.
Today, Assorted Food has three stores in Qingzhou City, a hot pot restaurant and a food court on Suian Street, and a dessert station by Ninglai Lake.
For example, when I was in the town, the development in Qingzhou City was indeed much faster; but Yan Moji also knew in his heart that this was entirely because the platforms on both sides were different, and there were only a few families in the town, and Qingzhou City was a first-tier city in the world , the total population and the flow of people are extremely large, and Suian Street is a good shop in a good location, and it is normal to be able to get hot quickly.
It is easy to make quick money for a while, but it is not so easy to build a brand of assorted food for a long time.
Regarding the next step of development, these people who have been in the assorted food for a long time are more or less aware of Yan Moji's intention to make the assorted food into a famous signboard, and put forward their opinions based on their own considerations .
Mrs. Zhang thinks that a pure pancake shop should be opened to promote the dry food of pancakes; Li Si thinks that since the food court model is very popular, it should also open a food court in other urban areas; Start from the food court that has been built, annex the surrounding shops step by step, and turn the surrounding area into a shop of assorted foods...
Yan Moji didn't express any opinions at first, but after encouraging everyone to communicate with each other, he finally saw that everyone's opinions were almost expressed, so he smiled and said: "Everyone's opinions are very good, and they are actually very feasible-but let's do business We definitely can’t start with just one idea, we need everyone to write a simple plan.”
"Plan?"
"Well, it's actually not complicated. Actually, if you want to realize the solutions you each recommend, where should you start, what problems you may encounter, how to solve them, and list the advantages and disadvantages of your solutions."
Ji Mingwen asked with some doubts: "Brother Moji, don't we discuss a result today?"
Yan Moji laughed: "The most taboo thing about doing business is to do business on paper. How can I be so powerful and know everything? When you make a proposal, you should also conduct on-the-spot investigations and ask the local people for their opinions."
Take a walk around the streets and alleys to see the locations, tastes, and popularity of other shops; listen to the thoughts and tendencies of the people in Qingzhou City, and the plans you make are far more reliable than the ideas you came up with.
After the few people dispersed, Yan Moji left Zhou Yang and his wife alone. After asking about the situation of the assorted food delivery in the town, he described to Zhou Yang how he now split the delivery department into "full meal" After reading it again, I also gave them two plans that I had drawn up, and finally asked: "I intend to give the 'full meal' to the two of you alone, do you have any ideas?"
Zhou Yang and his wife took a serious look at the documents in their hands, flipped through them carefully, and then asked in surprise: "Is the owner planning to connect the food delivery industry with other merchants?"
Yan Moji nodded: "Yes, takeaway itself doesn't need to stick to mixed food, other restaurants actually have delivery business, but it's not systematic; we already have some experience in takeaway, and we have recruited many people who are good at light work People in the Jianghu, of course, it is best to treat food delivery as an industry alone."
Zhou Yang pondered for a while, with a hint of uneasiness on his face, he exchanged a glance with Mrs. Wu, and said hesitantly, "My husband loves you, so we and I will die; but A Ling and I never thought that we could do such a big thing. Son, I'm afraid I'll disappoint my boss' expectations."
Yan Moji was not surprised by Zhou Yang's question, in fact, he himself was not so sure.In his previous life, he also concentrated on the food business. He had more contact with the takeaway part, but little understanding. He also relied on the superficial knowledge he had learned in his previous life to explore his way in this world.
Zhou Yang's uneasiness was manifested in front of him, Yan Moji just smiled: "No problem, you already have a lot of experience in the takeaway business, let's explore together."
Zhou Yang and his wife looked at each other again, and finally nodded solemnly: "Then we must do our best!"
Yan Moji looked up at the tall and burly man.After more than a year of working at Mixed Foods, Zhou Yang's spirit has completely changed. The weathered weather on Yan Moji's face when he first interviewed him has long since disappeared. Now his career is stable and he has married a new wife. There was also a trace of affection in Miss Wu's eyes to the side.
Not to mention Mrs. Wu, there was always a slight happy smile on the corner of her mouth. The sadness and indifference on her face when she mentioned offering sacrifices to her dead son in the small town before, now all turned into gentleness like water, her hair was dignified, and her face was full of tenderness. Wearing red makeup, people can see at a glance that she is satisfied with her current life.
People who live a happy life tend to be more confident; and self-confidence is an essential quality for exploring new markets.
Looking at these two people who found their happiness in Shi Jinshi, Yan Moji nodded with a smile: "Then I'll leave it to you."
After the "full meal" was handed over to Zhou Yang and his wife, Yan Moji did not let go of it completely. The experience of modern management in his previous life cannot be told on just a few pieces of paper, so he would often hang out with Zhou Yang and the others in the next few days , to study the further development of the food delivery market.
Yan Moji's plan is to learn from the previous life's Shuai Tuan and Are You Satisfied? Uniform uniforms and individual numbers. Because there is no online platform, these takeaway employees have to do the work of ordering food in addition to delivering food. basic requirements.
Considering various factors, people from the rivers and lakes who know how to do light work are the best choices - on the one hand, with light work, their foot speed is naturally much faster than ordinary people, and it is not a problem to surpass a carriage; on the other hand, because of martial arts It is always necessary to read martial arts documents and supplement the tonic for the body. Most people in the martial arts have to learn characters.
Apprenticeship to a teacher, literacy and punctuation, physical training, the cost of learning martial arts is much higher than that of studying, which is why so many unreliable people from the rivers and lakes who have no backing mostly have nothing to do.
Zhou Yang and his wife also raised a lot of opinions from the perspective of people in the martial arts, and some of them are indeed blind spots from the perspective of Yan Moji.
——For example, whether the delivery staff is credible. After all, the cost of committing crimes in this world is too low, and the cost of hunting is too high. If you don't catch up and come back, the reputation of "a full meal" will be completely ruined.
When I was in a small town, the stable salary given by Assorted Food was much more reliable than that of ordinary people who robbed houses, so the recruiters had no bad intentions; but most of the people in Qingzhou City were well-off, which tempted some people in the rivers and lakes to make mistakes The temptation can be much more.
At least based on what Zhou Yang inquired, it was not uncommon for people in the Yamen to rob money or even kill people in the city of Qingzhou in the yamen.
After Yan Moji knew that there are martial arts in this world, he has been trying to reverse his way of thinking to be more in line with the common sense of the world. A small problem, but a big loophole!
The reputation of doing business is the most important thing. If there is a case of losing money or even death because of a deliveryman who "eating a full meal", then his hard work, including assorted food, will be ruined.
But there is no good solution to this problem for the time being, Yan Moji can't ask Feng Wenlan for another hundred bottles of Leopard Yijin Pill type medicine to control those recruited Jianghu warriors, right?
We can only use people who are already familiar and trustworthy for the time being, and we will observe for a while when recruiting new delivery staff in the future, and then slowly let them out.
"To solve this problem, it is better to choose the warriors cultivated by ourselves." Zhou Yang sighed, "It is better to raise warriors at home than to recruit from outside."
This gave Yan Moji a little inspiration: "Will the disciples of the formal sect be better?"
Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Most of the orthodox sects have sect rules, and their disciples all have household registrations. It is indeed better than Jianghu scattered people... But most of these sects have their own industries, so why would they come to us for work?"
Wu Niangzi was looking at the big map of Qingzhou City, looking at where the headquarters of the "full meal" should be located, when she heard this, she interjected: "This may not be the case, as far as I know, except for those big sects, nowadays The life of many small sects is getting more and more difficult."
"Oh? Why is that?"
"The imperial court has been targeting the Jianghu martial arts all these years. Most of the industries belonging to the Jianghu sect have encountered all kinds of difficulties, and the Jinxiu sect has annexed them everywhere." Miss Wu sighed, "The slave family used to have sects, It’s just that life got tough later on, and the sect leader couldn’t stand it, so he disbanded the sect.”
Zhou Yang also sighed after hearing this: "I'm afraid that only the Sword Sect and Qi Sect with their masters in command can make the imperial court dare not to target too much."
Yan Moji keenly sensed the opportunity from these situations in the arena, and his eyes lit up: "Then it's not easy for us to reach an agreement if we try to do long-term business with those small sects who can't make ends meet?"
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wu's face straightened, and she raised her own objection: "It's better not to be like this, my master."
"Why?"
"On the one hand, there is a deep gap between Jianghu sects and ordinary people, so I'm afraid they won't take us lightly; on the other hand, Master, you must know that the imperial court is targeting the property of Jianghu sects. Now we invite some small-time scattered people from Jianghu sects. That's all, isn't it just a reason for the court to target you in vain by contacting a serious sect?"
Yan Moji didn't expect Mrs. Wu to say such insightful words, she glanced at her in surprise, and looked at Mrs. Wu a little embarrassed: "Master, slave, did you say something wrong?"
"No, you're right." Yan Moji quickly explained, and smiled, "I just didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable. It seems that it's the right choice to give you and your wife a 'full meal'."
Seeing that his boss had praised his wife, Zhou Yang suddenly laughed with some complacency.
All smiles, the problem is still there.
Yan Moji naturally knew that going against the court would not end well, and based on his understanding, the court was fairly clean in politics, the taxes were not heavy, the borders and foreign enemies couldn't get up, there was no trouble everywhere, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Only people from the rivers and lakes were not happy when they were targeted by the court.
But if you want to do "a full meal", you must have light skills.
When Yan Moji was sleeping at night, he sighed and complained to Ji Mingwu: "If the court targets the mixed food, it will be all over."
Ji Mingwu took another piece of wood to carve slowly tonight, patiently listened to Yan Moji's complaints, and finally raised his head to look at him: "No."
Yan Moji didn't understand: "What?"
"The imperial court will not target you." Ji Mingwu put down the wood carving that had just arrived, patted off the sawdust on his body, walked over with a cane, patted Yan Moji's shoulder lightly, his eyes were calm and gentle, "Just be you want to do."
Yan Moji almost melted in Ji Mingwu's gentle eyes, he lowered his head in embarrassment, then raised his head and said with a smile: "How can you be sure, Brother Wu?"
Ji Mingwu didn't answer, but talked about something else: "Where people from Jianghu are recruiting Qinggong, you might as well ask Li Si about it."
"I asked Qian Ping before, and Qian Ping said he didn't know much about this..." Yan Moji touched his chin, thought for a while, and nodded in agreement, "But Li Si is quite well informed, I'll ask him tomorrow .”
Then he sighed with some regret: "It's just the tone of the government office. We need to find someone to find out, and see how many Jianghu people the court can tolerate working in our property."
Ji Mingwu looked at Yan Moji's serious thinking, a slight smile appeared in his eyes, and then he sighed silently.
He put the Mo Yu that he secretly took when he patted Yan Moji's shoulder just now into his arms, and went to wash himself.
...
The next day, Yan Moji went to Li Si to ask, and Li Si really knew a lot more than Qian Ping: "There is a Fengbu sect nearby. The sect is not big, and they are good at light kung fu and swordsmanship."
"Oh? Then are they short of money?" Yan Moji asked with interest.
Li Si choked for a moment: "...I don't know about this, but since the sect is not big, life must not be very good."
"Then you can consider getting in touch." Yan Moji touched his chin and thought for a while, "But we still need to inquire about the news with the government office first."
It was actually not easy to inquire about the news from the government office. Yan Moji asked a few shopkeepers in the food court, and finally the shopkeeper Lu provided a way to invite a few small officials from the government office to drink and ask them to help them report to the government office. Ask the adults here.
These small officials are actually not very high-ranking officials, but Yan Moji knows that assorted foods are just starting now, and they are the last merchants in the "Scholar, Farmer, Industry and Commerce", so naturally they can't find any big shots, so they prepared Wenyin and made an appointment in Qingzhou City The best Longquan restaurant, please help find out the news.
Cannibals have short mouths and soft hands. Although the few petty officials were a little arrogant in the face of these low-level merchants, they took Yan Moji's considerable money and promised to ask him clearly.
However, judging from the meaning revealed by these small officials, the imperial court's attitude towards Jianghu sects is still relatively firm, and there may not be much openings for them to give assorted food.
There was also a not-so-young official who persuaded Yan Moji cryptically: "Boss Yan, your assorted food shop has a good business, so why bother hanging with those savages?"
Yan Moji just smiled.He just wanted to confirm where the bottom line of the imperial court's tolerance was, so that he would not overstep the limits without realizing it, and end up in prison.
Yan Moji was also prepared for the efficiency of officialdom in ancient times. After entrusting the matter, he put it down for the time being and turned around to work on the plan provided by Ji Mingwen and Zhang Sanlang.
Before Yan Moji asked everyone to go to the field to investigate and re-formulate the plan. During the investigation process, many people realized the flaws in their ideas, started to think again, or even pushed them down, and some would come to ask Yan Moji's opinion.
Perhaps it is because the thinking of adults is not easy to jump out of the constraints of inherent habits for a while, and the two youngest minors, Ji Mingwen and Zhang Sanlang, were the first to submit the proposal.
Their plan is to do the business of Qingzhou Academy.
"Qingzhou Academy?"
Yan Moji looked at the plan in his hand with great interest, which seemed to be written by Zhang Sanlang: "Build a food court in Qingzhou Academy?"
Ji Mingwen nodded, and said excitedly: "I just ran into Young Master Yuan Wu these few days, and complained to me about the lack of tea and light meals in Datong Academy. They are all big pot dishes cooked by peasant women, and they cannot be eaten at all.”
As the largest and most famous academy in Qingzhou City, Qingzhou Academy has always been known for its strictness. Students are not allowed to bring servants with them when they enter the academy. They can only leave the academy when they are resting, and they must return on time the next day.
In the past few months, the fifth young master of Yuan would come to the assorted food every time he took a rest, order a lot of delicacies, and complain to them while eating.
Yan Moji could also tell that the life in the academy was very poor. Looking at Fifth Young Master's chubby figure, after only a few months, he turned out to be thinner than a human.
Facing Ji Mingwen's confident gaze, Yan Moji nodded: "So you want to go to the academy to open assorted meals?"
"Correct!"
"Then have you ever thought about whether the academy will let us open a shop in it?"
Ji Mingwen hesitated for a moment: "Isn't it good to improve the quality of food for the students in the academy?"
Yan Moji smiled and shook his head: "As far as I know, Qingzhou Academy has always been known for being strict and thrifty. The academy may not know that the students' food is not good, but it just wants to sharpen the will of the students."
Ji Mingwen thought for a while, his expression was a little downcast, and he was a little unwilling. After pondering for a while, his eyes lit up: "Then how about we open a shop outside the academy?"
"Oh?"
The more Ji Mingwen thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible: "The fifth young master told me that when he was in the academy, he could only ask people to buy some assorted food lo-mei every now and then to satisfy his cravings - since he can ask people to buy lo-mei, doesn't that mean Qingzhou The academy doesn’t ban takeaways? Then we can make money!”
Yan Moji really doesn't know whether Qingzhou Academy forbids takeaway or not.But this is the plan proposed by Ji Mingwen, of course he will not attack it deliberately, he just smiled and pushed the plan in his hand to Ji Mingwen: "In this case, your plan has to be revised again."
"Okay!" Ji Mingwen grabbed it excitedly, wishing he could go out immediately, and after thinking about it, he added, "I will definitely find out the rules of the academy this time!"
Yan Moji called her to stop, glanced at Zhang Sanlang who was sitting on the side without saying much after entering the door, and asked Ji Mingwen with a smile: "Mingwen, I have something else I want to ask you—why did Sanlang write all the proposals?" of?"
Ji Mingwen was taken aback for a moment, and a rare shyness appeared on his small face: "I can't write some words, and my words..."
I didn't finish the rest of the story, but Yan Moji had seen Ji Mingwen's handwriting that looked like chicken feet, so he naturally understood what Ji Mingwen meant.
It would be fine if Ji Mingwen had always been just that weird little sister, but Yan Moji also regarded Ji Mingwen as his own sister and was willing to pamper her;
But Ji's father and mother were willing to let her out, and Ji Mingwen himself was interested in doing business, so Yan Moji didn't intend to let Ji Mingwen's flexible mind go to waste.
Therefore, he looked at Ji Mingwen with some seriousness, and said earnestly: "Mingwen, you have to know that if you want to expand your business, you don't need to study poetry and books. The most basic knowledge and writing are still required."
Ji Mingwen blushed.In terms of business, she has always secretly regarded her Brother Moji as her goal and direction of progress; Brother Moji never reprimanded her much before, and mostly encouraged and supported her.Seeing the seriousness on Yan Moji's face this time, Ji Mingwen only felt ashamed in his heart.
Seeing that Ji Mingwen was ashamed, Yan Moji nodded secretly in his heart, but still said seriously: "I will find time to find a teacher for you, and you take the time to study hard with the teacher every day."
Ji Mingwen tugged at his pigtails, blushed and nodded, "Okay, I will definitely practice calligraphy!"
Leaving aside the matter of asking for a wife for Ji Mingwen, Ji Mingwen came out with a new proposal a few days later.
Although this plan is still a little immature, it has already considered various factors such as geographical location, traffic flow, academy rules, raw material supply, etc., and it can be regarded as a complete plan.
Ji Mingwen's talent in the way of doing business did not disappoint Yan Moji since he was able to make such a level of independent production of proposals at the beginning.
Yan Moji was a little surprised by Zhang Sanlang's meticulous thinking and logical ability in mathematics. After thinking twice, he taught him Arabic numerals and basic arithmetic.
Ji Mingwen's plan was later brought to Yan Moji's key meeting again. After everyone discussed and discussed it, they supplemented and improved the plan. Finally, Yan Moji made a final decision, and that's it!
...
Life in Qingzhou Academy is actually very boring.
Every day is either studying or practicing calligraphy, and the meals are all cooked by the nearby peasant women directly hired by the academy. According to the requirements of the academy, they are deliberately cooked very blandly, not much better than boiled cabbage.
Because they were not allowed to leave the college on holidays, some students who couldn't stand it tried their best to get some exquisite snacks from outside the college to satisfy their cravings.
The academy is acquiescing to this kind of behavior. After all, the standard of food in the academy is to sharpen the will of these students, not deliberately make things difficult for them. The springs must be tight or loose to ensure normality.It's just that if you are caught by the gentlemen and steal the delicious food outside the academy, copying books is still inevitable.
It’s just that among these students, there are not many servants who can afford to buy food for them every day. Most of them can only wait for the rest, or catch acquaintances who are eating alone, and go to the school. Let's take a bite and taste it.
In the past few days, He Zhang found that his friend was rather dull, and he deliberately teased him several times without making him smile, so he couldn't help being curious: "Why are you so depressed these few days?"
The scholar patted He Zhang's hand away, and sighed: "I went to fight with Yuan Qingshan a few days ago, and he even took out the lo-mei of assorted food in front of me and ate it. It seems that I have never eaten it before. It’s a new flavor, and they won’t give me a single bite!”
He Zhang laughed and said, "Just for this?"
The scholar gave him a sideways look, and said angrily, "I know, you're probably going to laugh at me for being greedy again."
He Zhang quickly explained: "I didn't mean that, it's just that the assorted food book was created by the boss who came out of Brother Yuan's hometown. It's not surprising that Brother Yuan can get the flavors that haven't been sold yet."
It's okay if you don't mention this, but if you mention this, the scholar will be very angry.He remembered the last time he foolishly went to show off the delicacies he ate at Shijinshi to Yuan Qingshan, but that fat man in Yuan Qingshan laughed and announced the names of a series of snacks, and asked himself if they were Shijinshi on Suian Street. what you can eat...
It turns out that the assorted food is the gourmet shop in Yuan Qingshan's hometown that Yuan Qingshan has been talking about!
He was slapped in the face for not being able to show off, the scholar was depressed for several days, and secretly swore in his heart that he would never go to that assorted food again to have a bite!If you eat him again, he will be a dog!
... As a result, on the next holiday, he still couldn't help dragging Brother He to the Mixed Food.
——Forget it, food is always innocent, so delicious, woof.
Seeing his appearance, He Zhang almost laughed again, and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, don't be unhappy, I'll give you a gift."
The scholar glanced at him weakly: "What gift?"
He Zhang fumbled in his sleeve, took out a tightly wrapped oil-paper bag, and handed it to him.
The scholar took it and opened it curiously. Halfway through it, he could smell a familiar fragrance. After he took it apart completely, a fragrant pancake, still steaming, lay intact in the middle.
The scholar opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Isn't this the pancake glutinous rice of assorted foods? Where did you get it?"
He Zhang didn't hold back, and said with a smile, "I asked someone to bring it in."
"Bought from assorted food?" The scholar was taken aback, a little embarrassed, "Did you spend a lot of money? I will return it to you later."
"Not much. You don't seem to know. Assorted Food also opened a shop outside our academy, and it also has a food delivery business. It can be delivered directly to the academy for a few extra pennies."
There is a shop for assorted foods just outside the academy?
The scholar held up the pancakes in surprise, and looked at He Zhang with sparkling eyes: "Doesn't that mean that we can eat it if we want it in the future?"
When He Zhang saw his eyes shining because of the food, he felt like laughing: "Mr. Be careful caught you and punished you for copying books."
"In front of delicious food, copying books is nothing!" The scholar bit down the pancake and said vaguely, "Come on, Brother He, let's go and show off to that guy in Yuan Qingshan!"
——Brother Yiyuan's relationship with that assorted food, aren't you asking for trouble if you go to show off?
He Zhang thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it out of his mouth, so he was happy to go out with him.
The author has something to say: **Little Theater**
Li Si: Good brothers go together, whoever leaves the group first is the dog!
Qian Ping: Good!
Li Si: It's time to give the red envelope, woof.
Qian Ping:? ? ?
Scholar: Even if I starve to death, if I jump from here, I will never eat mixed food again!
He Zhang: Really?
Scholar: It smells so good, wow!
Tomorrow is still a big fat chapter!I love you all!
"About a month ago." Li Si replied, "Wang Er's body was discovered first. After reporting to the village chief, I thought it was the missing Qiao Dani. The whole family is missing."
Li Si's face became more serious, and he continued: "I went to see Wang Er's body quietly. Although it was well hidden, it can still be seen that it was caused by the weapon of Jinxiumen."
Ji Mingwu was silent for a while, his handsome sword eyebrows were tightly frowned, and his right hand subconsciously clenched the crutch.
Li Si felt Ji Mingwu's momentum suddenly changed, held his breath, and said cautiously: "Don't worry about the safety of the town. I wrote back to the Zongmen and sent more people. , and will never succeed.”
He frowned: "It's just a little strange. If Jinxiumen found the traces of the junior uncle, why would they choose the Qiao family to attack? Could it be that the Qiao family is the Yue family of the junior uncle, and it is easier to attack?"
—I'm afraid it's not for him, but for...
Ji Mingwu's face was still gloomy, but he was still stroking the crutch with his right hand, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Find time to remind Ah Ji not to go out alone, and be sure to go with you or Qian Ping."
Li Si was stunned for a moment: "Young Master Uncle is afraid that Jinxiumen will kidnap the master and threaten you?"
Ji Mingwu shook his head: "Just do it."
Li Si thought for a while and asked again: "Should I tell my boss about this?"
Ji Mingwu was silent for a moment before asking: "Do other people know about this matter?"
"I know. The head of the village will temporarily determine that Qiao Dani killed her husband and absconded. Qiao's family probably also fled together. This topic is also discussed in the town."
"Then you don't have to take the initiative to bring it up with Ah Ji, but you don't have to hide it deliberately. If he asks you, just say it directly. It's good to hide the part of the Jinxiu Gate."
...
When Ji Mingwu returned to the room, he found that Zhou Yang and Mrs. Wu were standing up. Zhou Yang had a silly smile on his face, and Mrs. Wu's cheeks were also flushed, and the two of them were still holding hands tightly.
Yan Moji saw Ji Mingwu coming, waved to him, and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, come quickly, and send blessings to our newcomer."
Lady Wu shook her hand, the blush on her face subsided a little, she said with a wry smile: "Master, don't play tricks on this servant."
——Ji Dong's family is the benefactor who saved her life, how can there be any reason to ask benefactor to send her blessings?
Yan Moji smiled and said, "When did you two happen, and I didn't notice it at all before I left the town?"
Lady Wu glanced sideways at Zhou Yang, who was smiling happily beside her, with a layer of blissful shame on her face, which made her look a little more delicate: "It's just something that happened in the last two months."
"Happy event, happy event!" Seeing Zhou Yang and Miss Wu tie the knot at the assorted food, Yan Moji was also very happy, "Have you married yet?"
"No, I discussed it with Lao Zhou. We are not young anymore, and we are the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes. We don't stick to this." Mrs. Wu smiled, "It's enough for the two of us to live in peace and stability."
Zhang Sanlang sat in the corner of the banquet, watching Zhou Yang and Miss Wu standing in the middle to accept everyone's blessings, his eyes couldn't help showing a look of longing.
Qian Ping came up with new dishes, and happened to meet Zhang Sanlang's eyes.Because Li Si always took Zhang Sanlang with him, Qian Ping also regarded Zhang Sanlang as his nephew in his heart, so he smiled and said, "Does Sanlang want to get married too?"
Zhang Sanlang came back to his senses, his face blushed slightly: "What's the matter?"
Qian Ping put the dishes on the table and said, "Sanlang is seventeen this year, right? It's time to get married."
Zhang Sanlang's eyes lit up, he was a little bit shy, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Ping, your sect...does it have any restrictions on the marriage of disciples?"
——What does this have to do with their sect?
Qian Ping was a little confused, but still replied: "There is no restriction, as long as it does not violate the morals of the world and the rules of the sect, just marry if you like it."
"Oh!" Zhang Sanlang was relieved, his eyes were bright, and he glanced at Li Si who had just entered the door.
After the quarrel between Zhou Yang and Miss Wu, who had become a couple, Yan Moji asked about the assorted food in the town.
According to what Li Si and Aunt Zhang said, the assorted food business in the town is very stable. Although due to the upper limit of the number of people in the town, it is already close to saturation, but with the development strategy and advice left by Yan Moji, it is still slowly rising with.
Assorted Food has now been completely handed over to Ji's father and mother, as well as the old people who have worked in Assorted Food for a long time.
Although Li Si and Qian Ping both left the town, they left a few nephews there to ensure that they could suppress those scattered people who stayed in the town and did not want to come to Qingzhou City.
But they can't be called Jianghu Sanren now, they completely regard themselves as a member of Shi Jin Shi, and when they hear someone say sour words about Shi Jin Shi outside, some of them can't help but want to fight.
Yan Moji was also very satisfied to be able to give these people a sense of belonging.
During a welcome banquet, everyone drank a lot. Yan Moji arranged accommodation for everyone who came to Qingzhou City. Li Si offered to stay at the dessert station with Qian Ping. The Zhang family and Zhou Yang's couple lived together In the backyard wing of the mixed food hot pot restaurant, the others also arranged their own accommodation.
Zhang Sanlang's eyes on Li Si suddenly became resentful.
Li Si didn't know what to do, and left affectionately with the inexplicable Qian Ping.
"Fourth brother, why are you pulling me like this?" Qian Ping looked at Li Si holding his hand a little speechlessly, and seeing that there was no one around, his inner strength shook him away, "What if others mistakenly think that I am What a masculine style, how will you marry a daughter-in-law in the future."
Li Sibai glanced at him: "Don't worry, you are just a piece of wood, which girl would like you?"
Qian Ping snorted, "Now I'm the owner of a dessert station, and many girls come to inquire about my situation."
Li Si glanced at him in surprise, his expression suddenly became more serious: "Qian Ping, don't harm the girl of a good family, we people in the Jianghu are precarious, maybe someday..."
Qian Ping glanced at him, a little displeased: "I don't have much interest in wandering in the rivers and lakes... If the sect didn't arrange for me to go down the mountain to listen to my junior uncle, I would rather stay in the sect for the rest of my life."
"Then the sect offered you a shift last time, why did you refuse?"
Qian Ping smiled a little embarrassedly: "I think the owner's place is very good, do the workmanship, and study the desserts. Let me tell you, brother four, last time I tried to apply the sand-splitting sword method into the dessert making, and it didn't work. Thinking of the extra strength of the cakes, the owner also suggested that I try making fudge!"
When it came to making desserts, Qian Ping's expression suddenly brightened.
Li Si looked at this junior who hadn't seen him for a few months, and suddenly there were some juniors he didn't know very well, and his expression was a little dazed: "But... Jianghu is different from ordinary people after all..."
"My boss, what's the difference here? Don't you have two eyes and one mouth?" Qian Ping said disapprovingly, "There are a few female help cooks in the dessert station, and they asked me if I have any martial arts and body skills to lose weight, and said It's all my fault for making desserts, so they have to cut out new clothes every other month, and they are even asked by their in-laws if they are pregnant..."
Listening to Qian Ping talking about his relationship with ordinary people in Qingzhou City, Li Si's expression suddenly fell silent.
Qian Ping talked for a long time, but Li Si didn't respond. He was a little puzzled: "Fourth brother, what's wrong with you today?"
After a long time, Li Si suddenly laughed easily, and the gloom disappeared from his expression: "It's okay, I just didn't expect that one day, I would be taught by you."
Qian Ping was stunned again: "Ah? What did I teach you?"
Li Si laughed and walked forward first: "It's nothing, when you get married, remember to tell your fourth brother that I will wrap you a big red envelope-of course, when I get married, you have to wrap it for me too." big!"
"I haven't written my horoscope yet, why are you talking about getting married all of a sudden?" Qian Ping muttered, raising his legs to follow.
...
The backbone of Assorted Food came quite a lot, and Yan Moji hurriedly held a follow-up development meeting the next day.
Regarding the follow-up development plan of Assorted Food, Yan Moji did not make his own decision this time, but handed it over to these people who already had enough experience to discuss and speak freely.
The theme of the meeting was the next development plan of Assorted Food in Qingzhou City.
Today, Assorted Food has three stores in Qingzhou City, a hot pot restaurant and a food court on Suian Street, and a dessert station by Ninglai Lake.
For example, when I was in the town, the development in Qingzhou City was indeed much faster; but Yan Moji also knew in his heart that this was entirely because the platforms on both sides were different, and there were only a few families in the town, and Qingzhou City was a first-tier city in the world , the total population and the flow of people are extremely large, and Suian Street is a good shop in a good location, and it is normal to be able to get hot quickly.
It is easy to make quick money for a while, but it is not so easy to build a brand of assorted food for a long time.
Regarding the next step of development, these people who have been in the assorted food for a long time are more or less aware of Yan Moji's intention to make the assorted food into a famous signboard, and put forward their opinions based on their own considerations .
Mrs. Zhang thinks that a pure pancake shop should be opened to promote the dry food of pancakes; Li Si thinks that since the food court model is very popular, it should also open a food court in other urban areas; Start from the food court that has been built, annex the surrounding shops step by step, and turn the surrounding area into a shop of assorted foods...
Yan Moji didn't express any opinions at first, but after encouraging everyone to communicate with each other, he finally saw that everyone's opinions were almost expressed, so he smiled and said: "Everyone's opinions are very good, and they are actually very feasible-but let's do business We definitely can’t start with just one idea, we need everyone to write a simple plan.”
"Plan?"
"Well, it's actually not complicated. Actually, if you want to realize the solutions you each recommend, where should you start, what problems you may encounter, how to solve them, and list the advantages and disadvantages of your solutions."
Ji Mingwen asked with some doubts: "Brother Moji, don't we discuss a result today?"
Yan Moji laughed: "The most taboo thing about doing business is to do business on paper. How can I be so powerful and know everything? When you make a proposal, you should also conduct on-the-spot investigations and ask the local people for their opinions."
Take a walk around the streets and alleys to see the locations, tastes, and popularity of other shops; listen to the thoughts and tendencies of the people in Qingzhou City, and the plans you make are far more reliable than the ideas you came up with.
After the few people dispersed, Yan Moji left Zhou Yang and his wife alone. After asking about the situation of the assorted food delivery in the town, he described to Zhou Yang how he now split the delivery department into "full meal" After reading it again, I also gave them two plans that I had drawn up, and finally asked: "I intend to give the 'full meal' to the two of you alone, do you have any ideas?"
Zhou Yang and his wife took a serious look at the documents in their hands, flipped through them carefully, and then asked in surprise: "Is the owner planning to connect the food delivery industry with other merchants?"
Yan Moji nodded: "Yes, takeaway itself doesn't need to stick to mixed food, other restaurants actually have delivery business, but it's not systematic; we already have some experience in takeaway, and we have recruited many people who are good at light work People in the Jianghu, of course, it is best to treat food delivery as an industry alone."
Zhou Yang pondered for a while, with a hint of uneasiness on his face, he exchanged a glance with Mrs. Wu, and said hesitantly, "My husband loves you, so we and I will die; but A Ling and I never thought that we could do such a big thing. Son, I'm afraid I'll disappoint my boss' expectations."
Yan Moji was not surprised by Zhou Yang's question, in fact, he himself was not so sure.In his previous life, he also concentrated on the food business. He had more contact with the takeaway part, but little understanding. He also relied on the superficial knowledge he had learned in his previous life to explore his way in this world.
Zhou Yang's uneasiness was manifested in front of him, Yan Moji just smiled: "No problem, you already have a lot of experience in the takeaway business, let's explore together."
Zhou Yang and his wife looked at each other again, and finally nodded solemnly: "Then we must do our best!"
Yan Moji looked up at the tall and burly man.After more than a year of working at Mixed Foods, Zhou Yang's spirit has completely changed. The weathered weather on Yan Moji's face when he first interviewed him has long since disappeared. Now his career is stable and he has married a new wife. There was also a trace of affection in Miss Wu's eyes to the side.
Not to mention Mrs. Wu, there was always a slight happy smile on the corner of her mouth. The sadness and indifference on her face when she mentioned offering sacrifices to her dead son in the small town before, now all turned into gentleness like water, her hair was dignified, and her face was full of tenderness. Wearing red makeup, people can see at a glance that she is satisfied with her current life.
People who live a happy life tend to be more confident; and self-confidence is an essential quality for exploring new markets.
Looking at these two people who found their happiness in Shi Jinshi, Yan Moji nodded with a smile: "Then I'll leave it to you."
After the "full meal" was handed over to Zhou Yang and his wife, Yan Moji did not let go of it completely. The experience of modern management in his previous life cannot be told on just a few pieces of paper, so he would often hang out with Zhou Yang and the others in the next few days , to study the further development of the food delivery market.
Yan Moji's plan is to learn from the previous life's Shuai Tuan and Are You Satisfied? Uniform uniforms and individual numbers. Because there is no online platform, these takeaway employees have to do the work of ordering food in addition to delivering food. basic requirements.
Considering various factors, people from the rivers and lakes who know how to do light work are the best choices - on the one hand, with light work, their foot speed is naturally much faster than ordinary people, and it is not a problem to surpass a carriage; on the other hand, because of martial arts It is always necessary to read martial arts documents and supplement the tonic for the body. Most people in the martial arts have to learn characters.
Apprenticeship to a teacher, literacy and punctuation, physical training, the cost of learning martial arts is much higher than that of studying, which is why so many unreliable people from the rivers and lakes who have no backing mostly have nothing to do.
Zhou Yang and his wife also raised a lot of opinions from the perspective of people in the martial arts, and some of them are indeed blind spots from the perspective of Yan Moji.
——For example, whether the delivery staff is credible. After all, the cost of committing crimes in this world is too low, and the cost of hunting is too high. If you don't catch up and come back, the reputation of "a full meal" will be completely ruined.
When I was in a small town, the stable salary given by Assorted Food was much more reliable than that of ordinary people who robbed houses, so the recruiters had no bad intentions; but most of the people in Qingzhou City were well-off, which tempted some people in the rivers and lakes to make mistakes The temptation can be much more.
At least based on what Zhou Yang inquired, it was not uncommon for people in the Yamen to rob money or even kill people in the city of Qingzhou in the yamen.
After Yan Moji knew that there are martial arts in this world, he has been trying to reverse his way of thinking to be more in line with the common sense of the world. A small problem, but a big loophole!
The reputation of doing business is the most important thing. If there is a case of losing money or even death because of a deliveryman who "eating a full meal", then his hard work, including assorted food, will be ruined.
But there is no good solution to this problem for the time being, Yan Moji can't ask Feng Wenlan for another hundred bottles of Leopard Yijin Pill type medicine to control those recruited Jianghu warriors, right?
We can only use people who are already familiar and trustworthy for the time being, and we will observe for a while when recruiting new delivery staff in the future, and then slowly let them out.
"To solve this problem, it is better to choose the warriors cultivated by ourselves." Zhou Yang sighed, "It is better to raise warriors at home than to recruit from outside."
This gave Yan Moji a little inspiration: "Will the disciples of the formal sect be better?"
Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Most of the orthodox sects have sect rules, and their disciples all have household registrations. It is indeed better than Jianghu scattered people... But most of these sects have their own industries, so why would they come to us for work?"
Wu Niangzi was looking at the big map of Qingzhou City, looking at where the headquarters of the "full meal" should be located, when she heard this, she interjected: "This may not be the case, as far as I know, except for those big sects, nowadays The life of many small sects is getting more and more difficult."
"Oh? Why is that?"
"The imperial court has been targeting the Jianghu martial arts all these years. Most of the industries belonging to the Jianghu sect have encountered all kinds of difficulties, and the Jinxiu sect has annexed them everywhere." Miss Wu sighed, "The slave family used to have sects, It’s just that life got tough later on, and the sect leader couldn’t stand it, so he disbanded the sect.”
Zhou Yang also sighed after hearing this: "I'm afraid that only the Sword Sect and Qi Sect with their masters in command can make the imperial court dare not to target too much."
Yan Moji keenly sensed the opportunity from these situations in the arena, and his eyes lit up: "Then it's not easy for us to reach an agreement if we try to do long-term business with those small sects who can't make ends meet?"
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wu's face straightened, and she raised her own objection: "It's better not to be like this, my master."
"Why?"
"On the one hand, there is a deep gap between Jianghu sects and ordinary people, so I'm afraid they won't take us lightly; on the other hand, Master, you must know that the imperial court is targeting the property of Jianghu sects. Now we invite some small-time scattered people from Jianghu sects. That's all, isn't it just a reason for the court to target you in vain by contacting a serious sect?"
Yan Moji didn't expect Mrs. Wu to say such insightful words, she glanced at her in surprise, and looked at Mrs. Wu a little embarrassed: "Master, slave, did you say something wrong?"
"No, you're right." Yan Moji quickly explained, and smiled, "I just didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable. It seems that it's the right choice to give you and your wife a 'full meal'."
Seeing that his boss had praised his wife, Zhou Yang suddenly laughed with some complacency.
All smiles, the problem is still there.
Yan Moji naturally knew that going against the court would not end well, and based on his understanding, the court was fairly clean in politics, the taxes were not heavy, the borders and foreign enemies couldn't get up, there was no trouble everywhere, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Only people from the rivers and lakes were not happy when they were targeted by the court.
But if you want to do "a full meal", you must have light skills.
When Yan Moji was sleeping at night, he sighed and complained to Ji Mingwu: "If the court targets the mixed food, it will be all over."
Ji Mingwu took another piece of wood to carve slowly tonight, patiently listened to Yan Moji's complaints, and finally raised his head to look at him: "No."
Yan Moji didn't understand: "What?"
"The imperial court will not target you." Ji Mingwu put down the wood carving that had just arrived, patted off the sawdust on his body, walked over with a cane, patted Yan Moji's shoulder lightly, his eyes were calm and gentle, "Just be you want to do."
Yan Moji almost melted in Ji Mingwu's gentle eyes, he lowered his head in embarrassment, then raised his head and said with a smile: "How can you be sure, Brother Wu?"
Ji Mingwu didn't answer, but talked about something else: "Where people from Jianghu are recruiting Qinggong, you might as well ask Li Si about it."
"I asked Qian Ping before, and Qian Ping said he didn't know much about this..." Yan Moji touched his chin, thought for a while, and nodded in agreement, "But Li Si is quite well informed, I'll ask him tomorrow .”
Then he sighed with some regret: "It's just the tone of the government office. We need to find someone to find out, and see how many Jianghu people the court can tolerate working in our property."
Ji Mingwu looked at Yan Moji's serious thinking, a slight smile appeared in his eyes, and then he sighed silently.
He put the Mo Yu that he secretly took when he patted Yan Moji's shoulder just now into his arms, and went to wash himself.
...
The next day, Yan Moji went to Li Si to ask, and Li Si really knew a lot more than Qian Ping: "There is a Fengbu sect nearby. The sect is not big, and they are good at light kung fu and swordsmanship."
"Oh? Then are they short of money?" Yan Moji asked with interest.
Li Si choked for a moment: "...I don't know about this, but since the sect is not big, life must not be very good."
"Then you can consider getting in touch." Yan Moji touched his chin and thought for a while, "But we still need to inquire about the news with the government office first."
It was actually not easy to inquire about the news from the government office. Yan Moji asked a few shopkeepers in the food court, and finally the shopkeeper Lu provided a way to invite a few small officials from the government office to drink and ask them to help them report to the government office. Ask the adults here.
These small officials are actually not very high-ranking officials, but Yan Moji knows that assorted foods are just starting now, and they are the last merchants in the "Scholar, Farmer, Industry and Commerce", so naturally they can't find any big shots, so they prepared Wenyin and made an appointment in Qingzhou City The best Longquan restaurant, please help find out the news.
Cannibals have short mouths and soft hands. Although the few petty officials were a little arrogant in the face of these low-level merchants, they took Yan Moji's considerable money and promised to ask him clearly.
However, judging from the meaning revealed by these small officials, the imperial court's attitude towards Jianghu sects is still relatively firm, and there may not be much openings for them to give assorted food.
There was also a not-so-young official who persuaded Yan Moji cryptically: "Boss Yan, your assorted food shop has a good business, so why bother hanging with those savages?"
Yan Moji just smiled.He just wanted to confirm where the bottom line of the imperial court's tolerance was, so that he would not overstep the limits without realizing it, and end up in prison.
Yan Moji was also prepared for the efficiency of officialdom in ancient times. After entrusting the matter, he put it down for the time being and turned around to work on the plan provided by Ji Mingwen and Zhang Sanlang.
Before Yan Moji asked everyone to go to the field to investigate and re-formulate the plan. During the investigation process, many people realized the flaws in their ideas, started to think again, or even pushed them down, and some would come to ask Yan Moji's opinion.
Perhaps it is because the thinking of adults is not easy to jump out of the constraints of inherent habits for a while, and the two youngest minors, Ji Mingwen and Zhang Sanlang, were the first to submit the proposal.
Their plan is to do the business of Qingzhou Academy.
"Qingzhou Academy?"
Yan Moji looked at the plan in his hand with great interest, which seemed to be written by Zhang Sanlang: "Build a food court in Qingzhou Academy?"
Ji Mingwen nodded, and said excitedly: "I just ran into Young Master Yuan Wu these few days, and complained to me about the lack of tea and light meals in Datong Academy. They are all big pot dishes cooked by peasant women, and they cannot be eaten at all.”
As the largest and most famous academy in Qingzhou City, Qingzhou Academy has always been known for its strictness. Students are not allowed to bring servants with them when they enter the academy. They can only leave the academy when they are resting, and they must return on time the next day.
In the past few months, the fifth young master of Yuan would come to the assorted food every time he took a rest, order a lot of delicacies, and complain to them while eating.
Yan Moji could also tell that the life in the academy was very poor. Looking at Fifth Young Master's chubby figure, after only a few months, he turned out to be thinner than a human.
Facing Ji Mingwen's confident gaze, Yan Moji nodded: "So you want to go to the academy to open assorted meals?"
"Correct!"
"Then have you ever thought about whether the academy will let us open a shop in it?"
Ji Mingwen hesitated for a moment: "Isn't it good to improve the quality of food for the students in the academy?"
Yan Moji smiled and shook his head: "As far as I know, Qingzhou Academy has always been known for being strict and thrifty. The academy may not know that the students' food is not good, but it just wants to sharpen the will of the students."
Ji Mingwen thought for a while, his expression was a little downcast, and he was a little unwilling. After pondering for a while, his eyes lit up: "Then how about we open a shop outside the academy?"
"Oh?"
The more Ji Mingwen thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible: "The fifth young master told me that when he was in the academy, he could only ask people to buy some assorted food lo-mei every now and then to satisfy his cravings - since he can ask people to buy lo-mei, doesn't that mean Qingzhou The academy doesn’t ban takeaways? Then we can make money!”
Yan Moji really doesn't know whether Qingzhou Academy forbids takeaway or not.But this is the plan proposed by Ji Mingwen, of course he will not attack it deliberately, he just smiled and pushed the plan in his hand to Ji Mingwen: "In this case, your plan has to be revised again."
"Okay!" Ji Mingwen grabbed it excitedly, wishing he could go out immediately, and after thinking about it, he added, "I will definitely find out the rules of the academy this time!"
Yan Moji called her to stop, glanced at Zhang Sanlang who was sitting on the side without saying much after entering the door, and asked Ji Mingwen with a smile: "Mingwen, I have something else I want to ask you—why did Sanlang write all the proposals?" of?"
Ji Mingwen was taken aback for a moment, and a rare shyness appeared on his small face: "I can't write some words, and my words..."
I didn't finish the rest of the story, but Yan Moji had seen Ji Mingwen's handwriting that looked like chicken feet, so he naturally understood what Ji Mingwen meant.
It would be fine if Ji Mingwen had always been just that weird little sister, but Yan Moji also regarded Ji Mingwen as his own sister and was willing to pamper her;
But Ji's father and mother were willing to let her out, and Ji Mingwen himself was interested in doing business, so Yan Moji didn't intend to let Ji Mingwen's flexible mind go to waste.
Therefore, he looked at Ji Mingwen with some seriousness, and said earnestly: "Mingwen, you have to know that if you want to expand your business, you don't need to study poetry and books. The most basic knowledge and writing are still required."
Ji Mingwen blushed.In terms of business, she has always secretly regarded her Brother Moji as her goal and direction of progress; Brother Moji never reprimanded her much before, and mostly encouraged and supported her.Seeing the seriousness on Yan Moji's face this time, Ji Mingwen only felt ashamed in his heart.
Seeing that Ji Mingwen was ashamed, Yan Moji nodded secretly in his heart, but still said seriously: "I will find time to find a teacher for you, and you take the time to study hard with the teacher every day."
Ji Mingwen tugged at his pigtails, blushed and nodded, "Okay, I will definitely practice calligraphy!"
Leaving aside the matter of asking for a wife for Ji Mingwen, Ji Mingwen came out with a new proposal a few days later.
Although this plan is still a little immature, it has already considered various factors such as geographical location, traffic flow, academy rules, raw material supply, etc., and it can be regarded as a complete plan.
Ji Mingwen's talent in the way of doing business did not disappoint Yan Moji since he was able to make such a level of independent production of proposals at the beginning.
Yan Moji was a little surprised by Zhang Sanlang's meticulous thinking and logical ability in mathematics. After thinking twice, he taught him Arabic numerals and basic arithmetic.
Ji Mingwen's plan was later brought to Yan Moji's key meeting again. After everyone discussed and discussed it, they supplemented and improved the plan. Finally, Yan Moji made a final decision, and that's it!
...
Life in Qingzhou Academy is actually very boring.
Every day is either studying or practicing calligraphy, and the meals are all cooked by the nearby peasant women directly hired by the academy. According to the requirements of the academy, they are deliberately cooked very blandly, not much better than boiled cabbage.
Because they were not allowed to leave the college on holidays, some students who couldn't stand it tried their best to get some exquisite snacks from outside the college to satisfy their cravings.
The academy is acquiescing to this kind of behavior. After all, the standard of food in the academy is to sharpen the will of these students, not deliberately make things difficult for them. The springs must be tight or loose to ensure normality.It's just that if you are caught by the gentlemen and steal the delicious food outside the academy, copying books is still inevitable.
It’s just that among these students, there are not many servants who can afford to buy food for them every day. Most of them can only wait for the rest, or catch acquaintances who are eating alone, and go to the school. Let's take a bite and taste it.
In the past few days, He Zhang found that his friend was rather dull, and he deliberately teased him several times without making him smile, so he couldn't help being curious: "Why are you so depressed these few days?"
The scholar patted He Zhang's hand away, and sighed: "I went to fight with Yuan Qingshan a few days ago, and he even took out the lo-mei of assorted food in front of me and ate it. It seems that I have never eaten it before. It’s a new flavor, and they won’t give me a single bite!”
He Zhang laughed and said, "Just for this?"
The scholar gave him a sideways look, and said angrily, "I know, you're probably going to laugh at me for being greedy again."
He Zhang quickly explained: "I didn't mean that, it's just that the assorted food book was created by the boss who came out of Brother Yuan's hometown. It's not surprising that Brother Yuan can get the flavors that haven't been sold yet."
It's okay if you don't mention this, but if you mention this, the scholar will be very angry.He remembered the last time he foolishly went to show off the delicacies he ate at Shijinshi to Yuan Qingshan, but that fat man in Yuan Qingshan laughed and announced the names of a series of snacks, and asked himself if they were Shijinshi on Suian Street. what you can eat...
It turns out that the assorted food is the gourmet shop in Yuan Qingshan's hometown that Yuan Qingshan has been talking about!
He was slapped in the face for not being able to show off, the scholar was depressed for several days, and secretly swore in his heart that he would never go to that assorted food again to have a bite!If you eat him again, he will be a dog!
... As a result, on the next holiday, he still couldn't help dragging Brother He to the Mixed Food.
——Forget it, food is always innocent, so delicious, woof.
Seeing his appearance, He Zhang almost laughed again, and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, don't be unhappy, I'll give you a gift."
The scholar glanced at him weakly: "What gift?"
He Zhang fumbled in his sleeve, took out a tightly wrapped oil-paper bag, and handed it to him.
The scholar took it and opened it curiously. Halfway through it, he could smell a familiar fragrance. After he took it apart completely, a fragrant pancake, still steaming, lay intact in the middle.
The scholar opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Isn't this the pancake glutinous rice of assorted foods? Where did you get it?"
He Zhang didn't hold back, and said with a smile, "I asked someone to bring it in."
"Bought from assorted food?" The scholar was taken aback, a little embarrassed, "Did you spend a lot of money? I will return it to you later."
"Not much. You don't seem to know. Assorted Food also opened a shop outside our academy, and it also has a food delivery business. It can be delivered directly to the academy for a few extra pennies."
There is a shop for assorted foods just outside the academy?
The scholar held up the pancakes in surprise, and looked at He Zhang with sparkling eyes: "Doesn't that mean that we can eat it if we want it in the future?"
When He Zhang saw his eyes shining because of the food, he felt like laughing: "Mr. Be careful caught you and punished you for copying books."
"In front of delicious food, copying books is nothing!" The scholar bit down the pancake and said vaguely, "Come on, Brother He, let's go and show off to that guy in Yuan Qingshan!"
——Brother Yiyuan's relationship with that assorted food, aren't you asking for trouble if you go to show off?
He Zhang thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it out of his mouth, so he was happy to go out with him.
The author has something to say: **Little Theater**
Li Si: Good brothers go together, whoever leaves the group first is the dog!
Qian Ping: Good!
Li Si: It's time to give the red envelope, woof.
Qian Ping:? ? ?
Scholar: Even if I starve to death, if I jump from here, I will never eat mixed food again!
He Zhang: Really?
Scholar: It smells so good, wow!
Tomorrow is still a big fat chapter!I love you all!
