Chapter 14 Take down a restaurant
Outside the tavern, Dian Wei supported Cao Cao and Guo Jia, walked staggeringly, and headed back towards the Cao Mansion.
"Fengxiao, through this contact, what do you think of Zhanggui Chen as a soldier?" Cao Cao asked suddenly.
Guo Jia thought about it carefully for a while before saying, "Shopkeeper Chen has some skills and is very smart. His ideas are very strange, but I think Storekeeper Chen has stronger ability in doing business."
"As for other aspects, Storekeeper Chen is definitely not as good as me, and he is only suitable for being a businessman. However, with Storekeeper Chen, we will no longer have to worry about military expenditure in the future. Storekeeper Chen is like Mr. Tao Zhu."
As soon as he thought of that bet, Guo Jia said again: "Prime Minister, soon I will be able to win the method of Storekeeper Chen's brewing wine and making salt."
"What a good Duke Tao Zhu, you are evil. After you go back, you will mobilize my secret guard to secretly protect Manager Chen, but you can't let him know."
Cao Cao smiled slightly: "As for whether Manager Chen is suitable for being a strategist... it's all! Let's wait for the result first."
Speaking of this, Cao Cao paused for a while and said, "Fengxiao, after you go back, you will prepare for me immediately. Tomorrow night, I will hold a banquet in the palace to help Manager Chen promote his wine, and also help us ourselves. We also need to find ways to increase the price of grain. I think we can create a miracle with Manager Chen."
Guo Jia nodded repeatedly, and he wrote down all these.
At this time, the alcoholic momentum came up, and Cao Cao and Guo Jia's walking posture was even more shaky.
"Come on evil, help me hold the ground, I can walk by myself!"
Cao Cao's words began to be unparalleled, which made Dian Wei laugh and cry, so he had to continue to support him.
"General Dian, why don't you get drunk? I used to be able to drink better than you!"
Guo Jia was still a little sober and looked at Dian Wei, who was walking on the flat ground curiously.
Dian Wei drank no less than them, but he was not drunk at all. Both Cao Cao and Guo Jia felt strange.
"I don't know why," Dian Wei shook his head.
During this period, he has been hanging with Chen Yang. After drinking too much, his alcohol tolerance naturally increases. He has not realized this yet.
"Shopkeeper Chen, it's really good wine, tsk..." Guo Jia hugged the wine jar tightly.
——
The next morning.
After Chen Yang woke up, he felt a tingling pain in his head, which was very uncomfortable.
"Don't drink so much next time." Chen Yang got up with the pain.
After finishing the washing, Chen Yang first went to the warehouse to check the accumulated wine and grain. Apart from his bedroom and kitchen, there was no extra space in the tavern.
"The tavern is still too small and very simple. If you want to do a big business, you have to change to a larger place so that the layout will be bigger."
Chen Yang looked at his small place and kept muttering in his heart that he was too lazy to open the door again today.
The gold given to Lao Cao last time and the money he earned from Dian Wei's wine in recent times are enough for Chen Yang to re-built the house business.
As for the mansion, Chen Yang never worried that he would have no place to live. He knew that Lao Guo would lose.
"Then let's make a decision like this." Chen Yang thought to himself, and he cleaned up and went out.
Walking on the streets of Xudu, Chen Yang wandered around and asked about what happened recently in Xudu. He unexpectedly found that the grain prices have risen again today.
Not long ago, it was 80 yuan per stone, but now it has risen to 90 yuan. The vendor selling grain told Chen Yang that the momentum of price increases did not mean that it would rise even more in a few days.
"Old Cao's movements are not slow, he has begun to raise the price of grain, and leeks are growing wildly."
Chen Yang was very satisfied with his trick. He cut a handful of leeks from the Three Kingdoms era and felt full of accomplishment.
"What are you doing? I gave you money to work, not to let you be lazy here."
At this moment, a shout came not far from Chen Yang.
Chen Yang turned around and looked over curiously, but saw several coolies carrying things in front of a restaurant, and a middle-aged man was talking in a slight way.
"This shopkeeper, you are moving away, why don't you do business?"
Chen Yang walked up to him, looked at his restaurant, and asked strangely.
The middle-aged man looked back at Chen Yang for a while and said casually: "There is no business here at all, and the food prices in Xudu are constantly rising. I'm afraid I won't make any money in the next few months. What can I do if I don't move?"
“No business here?”
Chen Yang looked at this restaurant, which was beautifully decorated and very grand. It is still the city center of Xudu, and it is definitely a good location. Not far away, or a bunch of powerful people living in it, will there be no business?
"It is impossible for such a place to have no business, right?" Chen Yang said.
The middle-aged man pointed to the opposite side of the street, and said helplessly: "In the past, although my business was not the best in Xu Du, I would never lose money. Since the Sima family opened a restaurant, right next to me, the business has become worse and worse. If this continues, even the restaurant will be compensated and have to move."
Chen Yang looked in the direction he pointed, and the restaurant was very lively, and he asked curiously: "Which Sima family, Sima?"
As the emperor came to Xudu, many aristocratic families moved together. Chen Yang thought to himself, could it be the Sima family Sima Yi and the Sima family?
"Is it Sima Fang?" Chen Yang asked him again.
Sima Fang is the father of Sima Yi, the famous father in history.
"It's just this Sima family. Their family is powerful and I can't beat them." The middle-aged man sighed.
It's really this Sima!
In other words, Sima Yi has now arrived in Xudu.
This is also different from history.
"Maybe history has changed. Cao Ang was not dead, and Dian Wei was not dead, so it became a little different."
Chen Yang muttered in his heart, and did not take this matter to heart, so he would change whatever he wanted.
Thinking of this, Chen Yang looked up at the two restaurants, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, you moved away, what should I do with this restaurant?"
"What else can it be done? Of course I sold it!"
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he felt a little distressed.
"How much do you plan to sell?" Chen Yang asked with interest.
"Young master, do you want to buy it?" asked the middle-aged man.
"That's right, you can offer a price!" Chen Yang nodded.
The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "How about 15,000 yuan?"
Chen Yang shook his head: "Ten thousand yuan, after all, there is a Sima family here. Can I make money after buying it? I can't guarantee this. If you agree, I can give you money now."
In fact, Chen Yang could only take out ten thousand yuan.
"OK!"
The middle-aged man was also happy and nodded directly.
Next, Chen Yang went home to withdraw money and talked to the other party.
After a while, the restaurant land deed was finally obtained and was completely taken down by Chen Yang.
Afterwards, Chen Yang found a few more people, moved all the wine in the tavern to the restaurant, and moved his bed.
"This restaurant is actually not bad. As for Sima Yi, let's see how I can grab all your business."
Then, Chen Yang sighed: "I have no money again, alas! Lao Cao, it depends on you whether you have food to eat in the future!"
He touched his purse, leaving only a few dozen coins, and couldn't help feeling distressed.
After getting free, Chen Yang remembered that he hadn't even eaten lunch. He looked at the restaurant opposite the street, had another idea in his mind, and walked over with big strides.
However, just as Chen Yang walked to the front of the gate, he suddenly heard a slander coming from beside him.
"Get out of the way ahead!"
Just as the slander sounded, another sound of horse hooves came.
Chen Yang looked back and saw a fast horse rushing towards him, his speed did not decrease.
Damn it!
