The Second Sister of a Farmer's Family's Path to Imperial Destiny

Guo Xin was calculating up and down in his mind. Although this contract restricted his funding channels to a great extent, it also had no benefits.

Rufangzhai has the support of the royal family, so it has plenty of resources and money, which are essential for carrying out its business ambitions.

She didn't plan to stop there. How could a small tavern become the richest family in the dynasty?

This is just the first step in building your own network.

In the peaceful times of the past, the most versatile restaurant was the hot pot restaurant.

She had wanted to open this hot pot restaurant for a long time, not for any other reason, but because such a store was a legal and fastest way to make money.

For example, mutton is placed in an ice cellar and frozen into a hard block, and then cut into thin slices with a meat planer. A few slices of red and white meat are placed on the dish, and then a few fresh flowers and vegetable leaves are placed on top, which will whet people's appetite when they see it.

The cost of a few slices of meat is only a dozen cents, but they can be sold for fifty cents, which is an excellent way to make money.

When it comes to hotpot, beef is a must.

Fortunately, the control of beef in the Zhao Dynasty was not strict. Here, cattle were divided into draft cattle and edible cattle. Draft cattle could only be made into food after they died and were reported to the government.

Edible cattle are raised by specialized cattle herders. They have excellent taste and are expensive, and are mostly supplied to dignitaries.

And as far as she knew, the Dazhao Dynasty currently only had simple hot pot, and the audience were all common people who could not afford to eat. They would set up a big pot with boiling water in it, set up a wood stove underneath, and then put a full table around the pot.

The diners would dilute some offal and cheap vegetables, put them in the sauce they brought with them, and eat them with rice in big mouthfuls in order to fill their stomachs.

Therefore, if her hot pot restaurant wants to make a success, she must get rid of everyone's inherent impression, which requires the use of Yang Er, whom she met in the tavern before.

If Yang Er, a food critic, can make his hot pot restaurant famous, there will be more people following him, not fewer.

However, the location of this hot pot restaurant is also very important. Its audience is not like that of a wine shop, but it requires a certain level of spending power, so it must be opened in a downtown area, preferably in a provincial capital where dignitaries gather.

As for the capital city, I'd better go there later. After all, if I take too big a step, I'm afraid people will be disappointed.

The family's workshop had already made preparations for the opening of the hot pot restaurant. The dipping sauces that could be transported over long distances had already been prepared. Sesame paste, beef sauce, and dogwood powder were all packed in ceramic jars, and a piece of oil paper was placed in the lid to prevent moisture. These dipping sauces could also be freely seasoned by diners in the restaurant.

Thinking of this, Guo Xin felt a little excited. If this hot pot restaurant was opened, he wondered how popular it would be in Beijing.

Therefore, the site selection and decoration must be cautious, and the waiters and shopkeepers needed by the hot pot restaurant must be purchased from Renya, or some people with clean family background and good character must be hired.

However, each of these requirements requires a lot of money. If she relies on her own strength, she has calculated carefully and found that she will have to wait until the end of the year to save enough money.

But now I have a new partner, and they came to me, so the meaning is different. Thinking of this

After seeing off Mrs. Hu, Mo Feifei was still tasting hot and sour pork intestines rice noodle in the tavern, so he stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper Feifei, I want to open a new restaurant in Suining City, but this restaurant will be different from the current one, with a few more characteristics."

Mo Feifei put down her chopsticks, wiped the red oil from the corners of her mouth, and thought to herself, Guo Xin is indeed extremely talented in cooking. He can always invent different yet delicious food. He is truly a rare genius.

Now she wants to open a restaurant in the capital. If I can take 50% of the profits, I can make a lot of money. If I can help her open the restaurant, I can also give an explanation to His Highness on the share of the profits.

Mo Feifei looked at Guo Xin and motioned for her to continue.

"I want to open a hot pot restaurant, but it will be a little different from the hot pot that people eat now. This is for people with a certain spending power, so the decoration and location of this restaurant are very important."

After saying that, he took Mo Feifei and Qingluan to the backyard, took out paper and pen, and explained.

After listening to her, Qingluan said, "Each of these deals requires a lot of money and a certain amount of official background. If it weren't for the help of Rufangzhai, even if you found Madam Hu, she wouldn't be able to spend so much money on your so-called hot pot restaurant."

"I also know that if this hot pot restaurant is to meet my requirements, it will take a lot of thought, so if you are willing to open this hot pot restaurant with me, help with the site selection and decoration, and then promote it to the dignitaries, I will take care of the rest, and I will give you 40% of the profits in the future."

Mo Feifei frowned and asked, "Forty percent? Is that all?"

Qingluan agreed: "That's right, at least give us 60%!"

Guo Xin fell silent. She wanted 60% in order to have absolute control over the hot pot restaurant. If she gave 60% to Rufangzhai, she would lose too much.

Moreover, all the ingredients and secret recipes of the hot pot restaurant are provided by her, and she is also responsible for the future operation of the hot pot restaurant. No matter how you look at it, Rufangzhai should not get 60% of the profits.

If Ru Fangzhai used Mo Feifei's favor to threaten her, she would certainly not be willing to do so. After all, favor is favor. She could make concessions, but she would never give up control.

"How about 50%?"

"Fifty percent, Rufangzhai will provide you with a certain amount of waiter."

Two voices sounded at the same time.

Mo Feifei and Guo Xin smiled at each other. Both of them could accept this condition.

"But the waiter you choose must have a clean family background and must not have any major stains or mistakes." Guo Xin said.

"Deal. I'll go back and draft a perfect contract and send it to you, okay?"

Guo Xin nodded. If she was not satisfied with the drafting of the contract, she could change it and send it back. Anyway, she was not in a hurry for the opening of the hot pot restaurant. The one who was anxious was the prince behind Rufangzhai.

……

"Boss, are you going to let Guo Xin take 50% of the profits? How are you going to explain this to His Highness in the future?"

"Don't worry. I have my own explanation to His Highness. Besides, do you think you can get 60% of the profits?"

"Boss, aren't you indebted to Miss Guo? If you use this as a threat, how dare Miss Guo not give you a discount!"

Mo Feifei shook her head and said, "The favor should not be used at this time. If it is used here, she gave us 60% of the profit. If she has something new in the future, can we still cooperate with her?"

Qingluan nodded in agreement and said, "I just don't know where the shopkeeper's kindness will be used?"

"She is now willing to partner with me, which is to repay my kindness."

Mo Feifei sat in the carriage and looked into the distance. Xin'er was not the only one who could do it with Rufangzhai. As long as she came up with this plan and then built a bridge through Madam Hu or Fang Tairu, who would not want to do this lucrative business?
