Chapter 35 Jiangning Restaurant Joins the Alliance?
As Mr. Lu and Kuang Gong left the meeting, the Double Ninth Festival literary event in Zuixianlou also came to an end. Some of the deeds of the Double Ninth Festival event were also slowly spread, like the cold wind in autumn, in an instant.
It spread over most of Jiangning City.
Literati were still highly sought after in this era, so the first poem of the Double Ninth Festival, "Drunk Flower Yin", was widely circulated because of the high praise of Mr. Lu, the supervisor of Jiangning Prefecture School, "without a single word, he can be romantic".
It brought this poem to another level, and was deeply loved by Jiangning's famous ladies and ladies. "People are thinner than yellow flowers" became the five most discussed words for a while, which also made Yu Xuanji famous in Jiangning City.
At a higher level, the position of the number one courtesan has become more secure.
On the other hand, "Ding Feng Bo·Double Ninth Festival" is not as popular as the former. Firstly, the leading courtesans in famous brothels in Jiangning prefer to perform "Drunk Flower Yin". Secondly, "Ding Feng Bo·Double Ninth Festival" is entirely from Du Mu's "Nine Nines".
"Rizhi Qishan Climbs High", although it has been revised to be more open-minded and free-spirited, it involves the poems of saints and sages. As a person of this era, I feel that it is difficult to criticize. The wording and sentences must be carefully considered, so I simply will not mention it again, even if some people think
I felt that the words changed by Cao Yi and Cao Zhaozheng were more pleasing to my heart than the original poem, so I didn't want to make any rash choices or comments, so I simply avoided talking about it.
As the organizer of this Double Ninth Festival event in Jiangning literary circles, Zuixianlou has also become the biggest beneficiary. Yang Gong, the magistrate of Jiangning Prefecture, Lu Gong, supervisor of Jiangning Prefecture School, Jiangning calligrapher, and the old man in the literary world are three heavyweights.
The restaurant signboard with personal inscriptions by the characters, as well as the more than 20 "Zui Xian Lou" wine flags of different styles and genres written by Cao Yi, the most talented man in Jiangning, are all elegant and elegant elements that other restaurants do not have. Of course, for ordinary people,
It is said that the signboard proposed by Jiangning Magistrate is more shocking, at least some ruffians will definitely not dare to cause trouble in Zuixian Tower.
In addition, Zuixianlou’s unique uniform costumes and impeccable attentive service are also spread, which amazes everyone. Of course, the cooking methods and dishes that are full of color, flavor, form and meaning are also indispensable.
It is even more and more mysterious. Taibaizui has been praised for a long time after the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival. This time with the opening of Zuixian Tower, it has become popular again, not to mention the limited edition and high quality.
The higher Qinglian wine.
Of course, there are also the three-character VIP cards that are divided into three levels: "Heaven, Earth, and Xuan". The pre-deposited amounts of one hundred taels, fifty taels, and thirty taels respectively set a very high entry threshold. This also makes VIPs
The "three words" of card are mentioned by most people, and they all question what kind of confidence Zuixianlou has to make others willing to pay for the card?
According to Cao Yi's previous life, the Chongyang Literary and Poetry Festival in the morning was not yet officially opened. It was at best a screening venue for super blockbusters, while the official opening in the afternoon was the real premiere of Zuixian Tower. After that
Thanks to the pen and ink renderings and poems of many literati and elegant guests, Zuixian Tower has gained at least a high degree of popularity and attention in Jiangning City.
Moreover, Cao Yi also prepared a big trick before the official opening in the afternoon, asking the sixty waiters of Zuixianlou to "deliver orders" in the bustling streets of Jiangning City and on the banks of the Qinhuai River. Yes, it was the "delivery" of Cao Yi's previous life.
"Sheet", which offers discounts of 20% off all fees for today's opening, as well as the information that you can get a small pot of the legendary Taibai Zui for free by taking the "sheet" and dining at Zuixianlou, and the information is printed on it.
Thousands of copies were distributed and distributed. Under the combined effect of several marketing methods, the opening of Zuixianlou was almost a success.
Because all the dignitaries and famous families had participated in the Mid-Autumn Festival Jinling Poetry Festival before, they were very fond of Taibai Zui wine and were worried about it. Moreover, there were three VIP cards with three heavenly characters in front of them, and the children of the major families had tasted the stir-fried dishes and
After experiencing the taste of Taibai Zui, they all pre-deposited three hundred taels of silver to apply for Tianzi VIP Cards, once to satisfy themselves and the three Su Lao's vanity of the same level. Of course, the really delicious stir-fried dishes of Zuixianlou and Taibai Zui are also important.
reasons, so I wanted to taste "Qinglian Wine" more and wanted to know how it is better than Taibai Zui.
For the people of the Yan Dynasty who could only drink non-distilled alcoholic beverages such as "green ant wine" in the past, the first time they drank the two distilled alcoholic beverages of Taibai Zui and Qinglian Liquor, it felt like they were already used to it.
"The light of fireflies", and thought that the best wine in the world could probably only be like this, but was shocked by Taibai Zui's "glory of the bright moon", but Qinglian wine shocked everyone like "Golden Yang Yao Shi",
With an extremely obvious contrast and huge advantages, it crushed the so-called fine wines of the Yan Dynasty. That's why the children of famous families and aristocratic families were willing to deposit silver to apply for Tianzi VIP Card.
Merchants who are relatively inferior in status but have extraordinary wealth are naturally unwilling to lag behind others. Your Wang family is a famous family in Jiangning. Although my Li family is just a merchant, they are also VIPs and have more money than you.
There are many Wangs. Once a person has this kind of comparison mentality, how can he not tell others to show off after saving a lot of money? He will spread the word to others, and in the end, almost all the big business families have settled the matter.
VIP card, otherwise they are being compared and feel that they are inferior. Some aristocratic families even have a comparison mentality, and each one makes bold moves. The tallest one even saved a thousand taels of silver.
As for those well-to-do merchants and middle-class aristocratic families who have slightly less financial resources and slightly inferior strength, they are not lagging behind, and have applied for Dizi VIP Cards and Xuanzi VIP Cards. Although they are slightly inferior, they are at least VIPs.
This also made Hongxiu and Sheyue, who handled the VIP card business, smile happily. Their hard work for a month had finally paid off. Even Tan Yun, who was joining in the fun, was jumping up and down with joy.
There is a row of good-looking and graceful welcoming maids at the entrance of Zuixian Tower, who uniformly say "Welcome" and "Welcome next time", sincere smiles are everywhere, and meticulous service is provided before the meal.
The hot towels for wiping your face and hands, and the free fruit plate after the meal all made people of this era feel deeply shocked and have a lingering noble experience. After leaving Zuixian Tower, they all used this as a source of conversation for those in the future.
Relatives and friends who have been to Zuixianlou praised it highly, which further enhanced the influence of Zuixianlou.
Even other restaurants that had previously formed the "Jiangning Restaurant Alliance" with the Shen family to curb the development of Zuixian Tower also sent personnel to inquire about Zuixian Tower to check the noble service of Zuixian Restaurant, which is both delicious and delicious.
What is so special about the "stir-fried vegetables" and the Taibai Zui, which is like fairy wine? Some restaurants even specially issued Xuanzi VIP cards to taste the taste of Qinglian wine. Those who tried it all praised after returning,
Many restaurant owners have complicated thoughts. They know that Jiangning's restaurant industry will usher in a new overlord, but they have no ability to resist.
Some smart restaurant keepers and bosses even asked those people to bring back Taibaizui and Qinglian wine, hoping to find out some secrets. On that day, more than a dozen guests even died because they "accidentally entered" the dining room of Zuixianlou.
He was invited out by the guards who were always guarding the dining room.
Because there was no curfew in the Great Yan Dynasty, the night markets were extremely prosperous, with bright lights, bustling crowds, tile roofs and railings, restaurants and teahouses, and non-stop music and music all night long... Those who came out from the Qinhuai River boats and brothels to have fun.
At this time, many children from wealthy families also came out to have some late-night snacks. This also made Zuixianlou open until midnight on the first day of its opening. This persuaded many guests who wanted to have late-night snacks here, otherwise they would definitely be kicked out.
Forced to stay open all night until dawn.
"Sir, what do you think our VIP card charges and the restaurant's business turnover are today?" After Zuixianlou closed its doors, Hongxiu still calculated today's accounts for a long time. At this time, she asked Cao Yi with a smile.
"Oh, since you asked Hong Xiu, let me give you a guess. I guess the fee for applying for a VIP card is about 80,000 taels of silver, and the business turnover is four to five thousand taels. I don't know if my guess is correct.
?" Since Hong Xiu asked happily, Cao Yi naturally would not disappoint Hong Xiu. After thinking about it for a while, he spoke out the answer in his heart.
"Wrong, wrong, Young Master guessed wrong!" Before Hongxiu could answer, Tan Yun beside her had already said it impatiently. However, judging from her happy and excited expression, Cao Yi knew that he had guessed low.
After all, it was written clearly on Tan Yun's face.
"Then the VIP card fee is 100,000 taels, and the business turnover is 8,000 taels?" Cao Yi hesitated for a while, feeling that he could be a little bolder and talk about the bigger picture.
Hongxiu didn't show any concern at this time, and said excitedly: "Master, today we have processed a total of 2,576 sets of Tianzi VIP cards, 4,320 sets of Dizi VIP cards, and Xuanzi VIP cards.
There are 5,342 groups, and a total of 12,238 groups of VIP cards have been issued, with a total fee of 163,400 taels."
"Hiss!" Even though Cao Yi had been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but gasp in shock, "There are so many!?"
Hong Xiu nodded excitedly and continued: "Well, today's business turnover reached 27,586 taels. Because the time is too short, it is not possible to calculate the pure profit, but I guess it should be at least
There is a net profit of more than 60%!”
"Okay! Very good! Hongxiu, everyone who came to Zuixian Tower for duty today, including those from Qingyun Pavilion and the secret wine shop Taibai Villa, will be rewarded. Each person will be rewarded with a thousand dollars. Xiong Qing
