Chapter 31 This is a regular restaurant
In the most ruthless restaurant in the imperial capital!
Although it was dark, there were many guests inside, and at least seventy or eighty people were eating and drinking inside.
Alcohol is very profitable, so they can’t just drink, especially with such strong wine, so they must eat the dishes.
In this way, a table of food can be more than one or two hundred yuan, so just meals can also bring a lot of income.
In addition to the drinks, Chen Xiao basically brought more than two or three hundred taels of silver a day.
After four or five days of opening, I have earned 1,000 taels.
Looking at all restaurants in the imperial capital, few of them can surpass this speed of making money.
After finishing the accounts, the fat man couldn't open his eyes and said to Chen Xiao, who was sitting behind the counter:
"Brother Chen, in five days, we earned more than 1,200 taels. After deducting the brewing materials and food costs, we will make a net profit of nearly 1,000 taels!"
Chen Xiao smiled: "Basic operation, don't be excited."
Long Jiuling drank a sip of red wine and said satisfied: "Didn't you count the red wine money?"
"No, there is not much red wine. It's only a hundred taels of silver sold in total." said the fat man.
Long Jiuling was dissatisfied. As a promoter of red wine, how could he not make more red wine?
After looking at Long Jiuling's expression, Chen Xiao said to the fat man: "If you have time, please call some women to make a lot of red wine. The consumer group of women should not be ignored."
After the fat man wrote it down, he said comfortably: "Oh, if this continues, we will be considered rich in the imperial capital in the future. Moreover, this money is what we earn by ourselves. If we think about it, we will be excited and have fun."
As he said that, he looked at Chen Xiao and asked, "Brother Chen, what are you going to do?"
Chen Xiao rolled his eyes: "Let's play with a bird!"
Fatty: "Huh? Yes, play with a bird, rich people play with birds!"
Chen Xiao was speechless. At this time, a guy next to him said, "Yes, rich people play with birds, and poor people play with chickens."
Chen Xiao glanced at this guy. There was something in his words...
While chatting, two people got off the horse outside the restaurant.
Among them, the middle-aged man with a national face in front is really the emperor of the Dragon Kingdom.
Although he deliberately dressed very ordinary, his temperament could not be changed no matter what.
Behind him, the commander of the Imperial Guard, dressed in regular clothes, spoke: "You... Master, it's here!"
"Um……"
The emperor nodded, then slowly approached the door, with a dark face, and looked inside, and saw Long Jiuling sitting on a chair and talking and laughing with Chen Xiao, sometimes even smiling, and his two big eyes were crescent-shaped.
The emperor's dark face unconsciously smiled.
"This girl, I have never laughed like this with me... and I don't know what that kid has."
As he said that, he felt even worse, and he felt like the flowers carefully raised at home were eaten by wild boars.
"Master, do you want to call the Ninth Princess over?" asked the commander of the Imperial Guard.
"No, go in and find a private room!"
The emperor said, walked into the restaurant, followed the stairs to the second floor.
During this period, people were in and out of the restaurant, and Chen Xiao and Long Jiuling did not see the emperor at all.
When he arrived at the second floor, the emperor entered the private room alone, ordered a few signature dishes, a few jars of wine, and said to the waiter:
"Can you ask your boss to come?"
At the counter, the waiter said: "Boss, there is a very elegant guest above, let you go!"
Chen Xiao got up and went to the second floor.
After looking at the commander of the Imperial Guard outside the private room, he made a gesture to Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao nodded and entered the private room.
As soon as I entered, I saw the sitting guest and bowed: "What's the matter with the distinguished guest?"
"Oh, nothing happened, I just heard that the boss is a young man. I really want to make friends with him. The boss won't give him face, right?" asked the emperor.
"Since you are a guest at the door, how could you not give face to the guests?" Chen Xiao smiled.
"Since that's the case, my friend sit down, let's chat and have some wine. Of course, it won't delay your business. If you chat with me and drink, I'll pay you." The emperor said.
Chen Xiao couldn't help but take two steps back, looked at the emperor with a strange look and said, "That, uncle, I'm a man..."
"I know, what's wrong?" asked the emperor.
Chen Xiao took a deep breath and took a deep breath: "The taste is unique...but I don't do escort service... I am a serious person in our regular restaurant."
The emperor said: "Just drink and chat with me, I will give you an extra thousand taels!"
Chen Xiao sat down: "It's common for those who don't have money, but they mainly like chatting and drinking!"
As he said that, Chen Xiao took the initiative to pour wine, as if he was a drinking lady.
The emperor was stunned by Chen Xiao's contrast, then picked up the wine glass and said, "I heard that this wine is very strong?"
"That's right, if you don't believe me, I'll make sure that after drinking this wine, you will find that what you used to drink was urine!"
The emperor took a sip, then frowned, swallowed the wine and said, "It seems like I took a sip of fire, it was indeed a strong wine."
"Then I can still lie to you, by the way, didn't you talk about chatting? What do you want to talk about?" Chen Xiao asked.
"It's nothing, just chatting casually. By the way, I heard that you are a scholar?"
Chen Xiao nodded: "That's right!"
"The imperial examination is imminent, don't you take the exam?" The emperor finally asked for several days of doubt.
Chen Xiao said: "Take the exam!"
"Then you are still doing business, don't you study hard?" the emperor asked again.
Chen Xiao said: "It's not a conflict. I am very sure to be a Juren. By the way, I will do a business."
Oh, look at it, it’s crazy. If you succeed in your business, you’ll be sure of the imperial examination?
The emperor even doubted whether this kid was Chen Xiao the imperial guards told him.
The two of them whispered, drank some wine, and chatted a lot.
From the perspective of words, Chen Xiao is almost as elegant as a literati. Instead, he has a frivolous tone and vulgar speech.
Even the emperor doubted whether wine and singing and other poems were his works.
So he spoke, "I heard that your poem is good, can you write a poem based on the current background?"
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Don't say it, there is really a saying in his mind that is related to wine: If you have wine in life, you should be drunk. How can a drop be reached in the Nine Springs?"
The emperor's eyes lit up: "It smells so much!"
This is another poem that means similar to drinking and singing. The first sentence is heroic and the next sentence is sighing.
The emperor nodded and said, "Okay, good poems, I've been chatting for an hour, and I have to leave!"
After confirming Chen Xiao's poetry talent, the emperor was relieved, but it was getting late, so he had to go early the next day, so he couldn't be too late, so he was about to leave.
Chen Xiao sent him out of the house, and the commander of the Imperial Guard took out a thousand taels of silver bills and gave them to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao's eyes lit up and he personally sent the emperor out of the restaurant.
Seeing the emperor riding a horse, Chen Xiao said again:
"Here you a horse? Then I'll give you another poem: If you drink or not, you will be safe for you and me. If you drink after riding a horse, you will die in your family!"
The emperor's expectant expression suddenly became stunned. Yes, there was another smell.
