Chapter 22 The Ordinary Life

In the next few days, in addition to a large number of guests from South Street and around the store came to have lunch, after lunch, many low-quality eunuchs came here to eat.

What surprised Wang Tong was that he didn't know what kind of publicity the six eunuchs had returned to do at the beginning. Many eunuchs came, and even some of the generals and schoolmen of the imperial guards came.

The low-quality eunuchs and generals of the imperial guards had a complicated time on duty and might not be able to come at lunch. The delicious restaurant that originally only cooked lunch had to increase the purchase of materials and increase the staff to prepare for these people.

Although these people may not be afraid of Wang Tong's identity as a Jinyiwei, they can prevent eunuchs and imperial guards from bullying others by virtue of their power. As long as you give money to eat, everything will be fine.

The six eunuchs who came here first got a lot of cheaper, one customer cost a penny, but they couldn't resist the number of people coming here, which was quite affordable.

I earn much more every month than before, and I counted as a net income of about 300 taels a year. And judging from this momentum, it will still increase, but economic income is not the only benefit.

That day the eunuch cursed Sun Dahai who was making trouble, and then the eunuchs and the imperial guards in the palace came to this delicious restaurant for dinner. All this fell into the eyes of everyone. News of catching up on the wind and shadow began to spread, saying that Wang Li was familiar with a large eunuch in the palace back then, and Wang Tong appeared occasionally a few days ago, so he asked him to open a nearby shop so that he could take care of him nearby.

This news is naturally absurd, but those who hear it have to think carefully and dare not act rashly. At least, after Sun Dahai came to the door, the delicacy restaurant has been peaceful.

Every day, except for the hometown of Tian Baihu, who was still laughing and scolding, the other colleagues were much more polite to Wang Tong. Zhao Guodong did not appear on this south street. The general bannerman Liu Xinyong regarded Wang Tong as not present and turned a blind eye to him every day.

Seeing that the business grew unexpectedly, Wang Tong simply took out the money and bought the houses of his neighbors. He had no time to do any renovations and construction, so he directly treated the other party's halls as a dining room. Through Widow Ma and Zhang Shiqiang, he recruited twenty more helpers.

Everything is rushed. For a fast food restaurant, the guys do not have enough training, which can easily lead to lack of food and service, and the customers are even less loyal.

However, stewed dishes are easy to cut and grasp the heat. The eunuchs and the generals of the imperial guards actually have no high requirements for food. They only want to eat them and are not unpalatable. The hot food is enough. The business of the delicacies has not fluctuated and it has grown slowly.

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Wang Tong sent the monthly money to Tian Baihu's mansion as usual, but Tian Ronghao's face was a little kind of gentle this time.

He couldn't figure out Wang Tong's background now. He had hidden dragons and tigers in the capital. The villains in the city might also have a relative relationship with high officials and nobles. Wang Tong might really know some great figures.

But I just thought it was a bit kind, because this big man has not appeared yet, and the bigger thing is that it is the rumor that Wang Tong took out the money for that month, and Tian Ronghao also according to the rules last time, he gave out the part that Wang Tong deserved.

When Wang Tong took out another small bag, put it on the table, and said with a smile:

"The store opened by the villain is also on the South Street, so of course we have to follow the rules. The business has been booming recently. The villain is the one who takes the initiative and costs three taels of silver a month. What do you think, sir?"

At this time, Tian Baihu finally had a smile on his face, nodded and said:

"I heard recently that someone is going to make trouble in your restaurant? It's all the business of your brothers. If there are such rogues who cause trouble, I will make the decision for you!"

Wang Tong hurriedly thanked him respectfully. He knew in his heart that from now on, his delicacies restaurant will be truly worry-free. Everyone will definitely be jealous of making money when it is too wasteful. If they are not filial to timely respect, I am afraid that in addition to Liu Xinyong, who has hatred, others will also have gossip.

After paying the monthly banknote, it became a formally recognized store within the jurisdiction of Tianbaihu. According to the rules, if someone comes to the delicacy restaurant to cause trouble, they will face their Jinyiwei family. What Liu Xinyong wants to do, he must also consider this default rule.

On the fifteenth day of the 12th lunar month, most of the shops on Nan Street had already begun to close for the New Year, and Nan Street became deserted, but Wang Tong's delicacies were an exception.

The low-level eunuchs in the palace and generals of the imperial guards, they also have to be on duty. This year's festival is of little significance to them. Similarly, the food in the imperial city will not improve any results.

The imperial kitchen needs to prepare a series of festival celebrations such as the Spring Festival and the Yuan Dynasty, and the meals for the soldiers of the Forbidden City are even much worse.

For the guards and eunuchs on duty on the south side of the imperial city, the delicacies restaurant is really their luck, and those on duty at other places would rather take a few more steps to eat.

There are few people at lunch here, but after lunch until the night, there is always a constant stream of people until the palace gate is closed.

I calculated that I was doing more business now than before the twelfth lunar month. The men and women in the delicacies restaurant were all excited because the boss had already said that by the Spring Festival, each person would take at least 300 ounces of pork and go home, which was a real fat year.

As for Widow Ma and Zhang Shiqiang, they are the owners of this store, and they are the dividends, so they will definitely get more.

On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, according to the rules, Tian Baihu ordered everyone to do not need to come to the twelfth day to be on duty in the next day, but they should gather again on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, and let them go to the year.

The others have families and children, Wang Tong orphans and Zhang Shiqiang are bachelors, and the two have nowhere to go, and they still stay in the store as usual.

I heard from Zhang Shiqiang that he had found a master who could teach fists and feet. After the New Year, he would become a disciple and learn skills.

In the afternoon, eunuchs and imperial guards came to have dinner one after another. Zhang Shiqiang went out to buy materials, and Wang Tong sat in the corner of the canteen.

According to this level of making money, by April and May next year, you can do the Nanfu business by adding some more from your old capital.

The Suhang Goods Store on South Street is one of the shops that do not pay monthly silver, but the shopkeeper Zhao in the store asked Wang Tong and Zhang Shiqiang to help him with a few small favors, so he could give him some advice.

Among the businesses you can think of at present, the Nanhuo business has the highest profit and the least risk, it depends on whether Manager Zhao is willing to help this.

After thinking for a while, Wang Tong suddenly found that the store was empty. This is really strange. Although the store was unsatisfied in the afternoon, the crowd should be constant. However, Wang Tong didn't care much, it was just a short stop.

“…It smells so good here, what is it to eat?”

Just as I was immersed in my thoughts, a child's voice came from outside the store, and someone replied:

"It should be the legendary braised pork..."
