Chapter 603 Restaurant Guests
As winter comes, merchants coming and going to Chang'an become fewer, and shop business has entered the off-season one after another, and the same is true for states and prefectures in various places.
However, there are still some businesses that will only be better in winter.
A large number of candied haws are placed outside a restaurant in Chang'an City.
The name of the restaurant is very straightforward, Chengnan Restaurant.
The shopkeeper was Hua Chen from Taiyuan Mansion. He had been driving the restaurant in Chengnan to Chang'an for two years, and the shop in Taiyuan Mansion had been handed over to someone else to take care of.
He brought Jiaxiao to Chang'an. Few people knew that this was discussed with Li De. At the same time, the restaurant in Chengnan was also the most secret safe house that Hongmudan had used to.
The method of making ice rink gourds is very simple, but no one has succeeded so far because others don’t have snow-white cane sugar on their hands, so they can’t make this taste with stove candy.
The candied haws run by Hua Chen were not made by himself but provided by a caravan from Youzhou. This provision does not mean that they are transported to ancient times in Youzhou every time.
In that case, how much can you transport throughout the winter?
It was a man sent from Youzhou Trading Company who specializes in making candied haws run a workshop in Chang'an that specializes in making candied haws and other foods.
This kind of thing cannot be hidden from anyone, and the purpose of Youzhou Commercial Bank is not to use such public workshops to conduct intelligence transactions. The real purpose is very simple, just to make more money.
The candied haws in Huachen's Chengnan Restaurant are wholesale from workshops. Not only his family, but also many shops will wholesale candied haws for sale in winter, and the wholesale prices are the same.
"Shopkeeper Hua, when you are alone in the cold weather, you are watching the stalls outside. Isn't it okay to leave this kind of thing to your subordinates?"
When the shopkeeper next to him was looking outside at the door, he happened to see Hua Chen paying attention to the stall and chatting.
The cloths in the middle of winter are not very good. Those who buy robes are all rich and noble families, and they wear them in winter. If the poor, the people do not often have new clothes and boats.
However, the business of the cloth store has entered the off-season and has become the off-season. It is impossible to withstand the peak season and can make all the money and profits back. Chatting and chatting has become the habit of the cloth store manager.
"Why are you idle again? I haven't been busy lately? I heard that the cloth store business in Youzhou City is booming, should I go there and try it?" Hua Chen said.
"Why don't you go to Youzhou's business as a shopkeeper?" said the shopkeeper of Bu Xing.
"I have relatives in Chang'an, so I don't have the intention to go to Youzhou. Now that the store has opened, the business can be maintained. Just live like this. Youzhou is more suitable for young people and courageous people." Hua Chen said.
"Who said no? If I hadn't been born in Chang'an, my family members would be here, and I would have wanted to see it. I heard that there would be good deals with businessmen who run shops there." The shopkeeper of the Buxing lowered his voice.
"It is true to see it, and it is false to hear it. Everything must be seen with your own eyes. Otherwise, how could you know that it is not a man? Besides, Youzhou is not very far away. You see, many merchants always run there. If the cloth you add is good, you can try it." Hua Chen said.
While the two were chatting, they saw a caravan coming.
Li De's eyes were so good that when he saw the visitor coming towards the restaurant, he knew that there was a business coming. There was a caravan in the middle of winter, but it was quite envious of the shopkeeper.
There are not many businessmen coming and going in the winter in Chang'an City, but from time to time, there are also some who are making hard money in the snow.
Hua Chen saw that the convoy was quite large, with more than a dozen large cars. The backyard of the Chengnan Restaurant could be parked, and the horses were led to the closed stable.
More than a dozen large cars really occupy a lot of space, but fortunately the restaurant was prepared.
"A few people are objectively eating or staying in a hotel, and there are room in the restaurant." Hua Chen introduced.
"Just prepare ordinary rooms for us. Qianliang promised that we could take a rest and stay all the way from Jiangling."
Hua Chen collected the money, and after registering the money, he immediately ordered the waiter to serve wine and food.
The wine and dishes ordered are all cheap and affordable, such as large bowls of noodles. Even if the five big and thick men eat three big bowls, they will not be hungry for two days.
As the name suggests, the big bowl of noodles is a carefully prepared braised noodles. It tastes so delicious for more than 30 people.
It shows how hard work these businessmen who earn hard money have been.
"Where can you ask where the objective call comes from?"
Hua Chen was not doing anything while greeting everyone, but did not forget to ask. This was not intentional and long-lasting business inns had become a habit. Otherwise, I would say that restaurants and restaurants are the best places to inquire about news.
When chatting, you will know where the other party calls, where they are going, and what they are doing.
Merchants like to chat, but Hua Chen found that these people were a bit weird. Although they looked very similar to the merchants, they were fundamentally inconsistent.
Businessmen like to care about it. This may not be because of stinginess, but because of the aura of the businessman in his bones, he is very cautious in controlling money. When he sees these people come in and sit down, they don’t seem to be a person who is short of money at all.
Merchants like to chat. I haven’t seen anyone who has been in Huachen for so many years. I can’t get any news from the other party. It’s normal for merchants to be cautious when going out, but Changan has reached their destination and is completely wrong when they see their speech and attitude.
And they also ate much more food than merchants, and their appetite was so good that they were practicing martial arts.
The strangest thing is that the rooms they spend money on are the businessmen who are the best at controlling money. More than 30 people directly packaged one of the inns.
If another businessman had such good treatment for his subordinates, he would definitely be able to live in an ordinary guest room with as many people as possible.
Money is made by merchants and not caused by strong winds. If you can survive, you can save money. How can you be so generous after going out? And these people don’t chat much when they eat and put them in.
This situation feels like I've seen a soldier. Eating is the top priority and there is no kung fu.
Hua Chen is an inn, and he is an old man. He can tell the difference at a glance that anyone can tell. The behavior of this merchant is strange and has no news, which has even aroused his curiosity.
"You are here again, Shopkeeper Hua, are you here? Isn't your shop coming? You are not welcome?" The shopkeeper of the cloth shop started chatting when he saw Hua Chen at the door.
Hua Chen is not in the mood to pay attention to him, but he will be called arrogant and arrogant. It is reported that he will definitely have a bad impression of him when he is exposed.
"It's okay, the guests are exhausted from traveling and have already gone to rest." Hua Chen said.
The customers in the shop looked very energetic. They included all the three floors of the restaurant and told them not to disturb anyone if they had nothing to do.
