When Li Er heard the news, he laughed until tears came out.
Earning 100,000 gold taels a month?
My son, you really haven't done business before, right? Do you think it's that easy to earn a hundred thousand gold taels?
"It seems that Imperial Father doesn't believe in Green Sparrow's ability to earn money!”Li Tai chuckled." Imperial Father, if Green Sparrow can earn 100,000 taels of gold a month, Imperial Father will reward Green Sparrow with 100,000 taels of gold. How about that?"”
"Alright, if you don't earn 100,000 taels of gold, not only will your earnings be confiscated, but the capital of 1,000 taels of gold will also be deducted from your monthly salary until it's all deducted!”
Old Li, don't be too arrogant!
Li Tai gritted his teeth. His father was trying to kill him!
"Imperial Father, please give the shop a name!" Li Tai rolled his eyes and came up with a plan.
Li Er smiled coldly. What a cunning kid. He actually wanted to use the name of the royal family to gain attention. No way!
"My son is a genius. Isn't it easy for him to name a shop? There's no need to trouble me with such a small matter!”
Old Li, you're so ruthless!
Li Tai rolled his eyes at him, turned around, and walked to the table. He picked up a pen and wrote down the words " Yunxuan Restaurant " before handing it to Wang De." This is my shop's signboard!"”
Li Eryi smiled. In terms of poetry, I'm afraid no one can beat you. However, this business is a practical study. I don't know if you, a clever little ghost reincarnated from the Green Phoenix, can play with it!
The next day, Yunxuan Restaurant officially opened for business. The products they launched were soap, distilled liquor, and refined salt.
In order to make these things, the imperial kitchen had been occupied by Li Tai, and all the chefs had been requisitioned, leaving the concubines in the palace without food.
There was also a new item that was born at the same time as Yunxuan Pavilion, the model!
Under his instructions, Wang De specially hired two fair-skinned and beautiful Persian girls with blonde hair and blue eyes to stand at the door. When they saw someone coming, they put their hands in the basin and washed their hands with soap.
The shop was divided into three sections, A, B, and C. They sold high, medium, and low-grade goods respectively. The cheapest soap was as cheap as a copper coin!
As for refined salt, the salt and iron government camp? What a joke. Why don't you look at the shop owner's background? The entire empire belongs to him. Why would he care about a salt token?
Yunxuan Restaurant had just opened for business, and it was instantly filled to the brim. The 1,000 bars of soap that had been prepared in advance were all snatched up in the blink of an eye, and the stock was sold out!
With the soap getting off to a good start, Li Tai was full of confidence. He immediately launched a tasting event at all costs. As long as customers entered the shop, they could receive a small bottle of distilled liquor for free and take it home to drink!
The alcohol content and taste of distilled liquor were far superior to that of ordinary liquor in this era. Therefore, the drinkers who had tasted the trial bottles immediately fell in love with this soft, mellow, and mild wine. They queued up to buy it every day!
As for the refined salt…
In the Tang Dynasty, salt had always been a scarce material. Because it was a state-run product, the quality was poor and there were many impurities. The common people complained, but there was nothing they could do.
After Li Tai filtered and purified the coarse salt, he sold it at a price of two to three coins. It was half the price of official salt, and the quality was even better!
Our business motto is: take the path of others and make others have no way out!
The commoners lined up from dawn to dusk to buy refined salt. In less than half a month, Yunxuan Court's income had exceeded 60,000 taels of gold. They were not far from their goal of 100,000 taels of gold.
Li Er was anxious.
He did not expect that his son would take away almost all of the official salt market and two-thirds of the wine market in Chang 'an City with just a little bit of skill. His biggest hope now was that this kid would not sell the gunpowder as well.
Eunuch Wang De rushed in from outside and whispered into his ear.
"What? This kid bought another hotel?”
"That's right, Your Majesty. It was sold three days ago and is open for business today. It's already full of people and the daily income is over a hundred taels of gold!”
What was that?
A hotel earning hundreds of taels of gold a day? Did this kid really have a way of making money or was it a lucky hit?
Li Er couldn't sit still anymore." Let's go and take a look!”
The shop that Li Taixin bought was next to Yunxuan Restaurant. It had two floors and eight signboards hung at the entrance. Before he entered, a strong fragrance wafted out from inside. Li Er couldn't help but lick his lips.
"Sir, you're here. Please sit!" When the waiter saw that there was a guest, he hurriedly went forward to greet him.
Li Er sat down in an empty seat by the window. He looked up and saw more than a dozen signboards hanging on the wall. On them were the specialty dishes of the restaurant.
"Braised carp, braised eggplant, steamed shad, stir-fried mutton?”He was confused. What was this?
In his impression, the imperial kitchen had always been stewing, boiling, and steaming.
"Do you want to try our specialty hotpot?”
Hotpot?
Li Er was stunned. What was hotpot?
When the huge copper pot was served and the sliced mutton and various vegetables were placed on the table, Li Er finally understood what a hot pot was!
He picked up a piece of mutton and put it in boiling water. He immediately scooped it out, dipped it in sesame sauce, and stuffed it into his mouth. An expression of enjoyment immediately appeared on his face!
It was too delicious!
"Sir, our shop has a bottle of carefully brewed distilled liquor. Would you like to try it?”
Li Er nodded repeatedly.
After a while, the wine was served. Li Er poured a cup and took a sip. He felt that the texture was even softer and mellow than the bottle he drank last time. In a few seconds, he finished the entire bottle!
Before he left, the waiter even warmly gave him a gift. When he opened it, he saw a small bottle of distilled liquor, two round cakes, and a beautifully packaged soap.
"Tsk tsk, so thoughtful!" Li Er clicked his tongue in admiration. This merchant knew how to win people's hearts and how to do business!
He had forgotten that this shop was owned by his son!
