Qian Wen waved to the restaurant staff and asked about the drinks.

The guy said loudly: "I'm not hiding the guests, the wine in our restaurant is brewed with old grain."

Qian Wen shouted, "No wonder this wine is a bit astringent and has an impure taste. It turns out that it is all made of old grain. Tell me, what year did you use to make the wine made of old grain?"

"I don't know which year of old grain to make wine, the young ones are used. The wine is transported from the county government. There is a wine and vinegar room under the county magistrate's yamen. You can buy wine as long as you have money."

"How long has the prefect of Pingyang County been in office? He has actually built a wine and vinegar house to do business. This is fast enough!"

The guy smiled and said, "Pingyang County may not work, but the speed is fast. If the guest officials came last month, there would be a barren mountain here, and there were still bandits in the mountains. The county magistrate personally led the troops to go to the mountains to suppress the bandits. If you are lucky tomorrow morning, if you are lucky, you can still see the county soldiers escorting the bandits to the underground laborers outside the city."

After hearing what the guy said, many people in the restaurant became interested and started asking questions in a long time.

"Those bandits don't behead them?"

"Not beheaded! Everyone is full of fat, it would be a pity to kill him."

"All of them were escorted to the underground coolies?"

"Yes! I need coolies everywhere to build cities, dig ditches, and build dams. The gangsters of the county magistrate said that the crimes were so great that they would be too cheap to kill them with one knife. They would all be taken to work hard and labor reform. It would take less than ten or eight years to forgive their sins."

"It is a good way to use cool labor, and it is also considered to be a way for people to use it."

"The county magistrate is insightful!"

"I won't be in a hurry to rush tomorrow, let's take a look at the fun and fun first."

The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became warm.

Although everyone dislikes the broken wine in the restaurant, the taste is too astringent and difficult to taste.

But in these days, it is really not easy to have a place to drink when you are rushing outside.

I have been greedy for a few days, so I don’t care whether the taste of the wine is astringent. I will make a pot of wine first.

Press it with the dishes and drinks to barely suppress the astringent taste of the wine.

"Oh, man, your restaurant doesn't look very good. There is still be beef sauce, it's so beef!"

Beef is rare these days, and it is really rare to eat beef with sauce in small and broken restaurants in remote areas.

The guy asked hurriedly, "Can you please come with a serving? Our beef sauce has been used for a century-old secret recipe, and the taste is very different from before. Everyone who has eaten it said it is OK!"

"Older, taste it. See if it's as good as you said."

"Okay! Come with a beef sauce."

Qian Wen and Master Wu said, "If the Master doesn't dislike the beef, we will also give it one."

Master Wu stroked his beard and smiled profoundly, "Mr. Qian is intent."

Qian Wen immediately waved to the man and asked for a beef sauce.

Director Wu whispered: "This restaurant looks broken, and the dishes taste pretty good."

Qian Wen hurriedly said, "It's good if Master Xiao Wu is satisfied. After tasting the taste, do you feel that it is a bit similar to the restaurants in the north and south of the capital."

"Mr. Qian means that this restaurant is Mrs. Yan's property, and he uses Mrs. Yan's secret recipe to do business."

Qian Wen smiled, "Why would you ask the guy to come and ask?"

Master Wu nodded first, "Ask!"

He also wanted to know if these stores are all Mrs. Yan's property.

The guy came over with a serving of beef sauce.

Qian Wen asked Master Wu to taste the taste first.

Master Wu nodded and commented: "Not bad!"

After that, Qian Wen and Director Wu stretched out their chopsticks.

Oh, it's more than just good!

This taste is so greedy.

Qian Wen pulled the guy and asked, "Have you worked in the restaurant's chef in the north and south restaurants in Beijing before?"

"Reporting to the guest, I have never heard of the restaurant in the north and south. Our chef is also the boss, and he is from Pingyang County."

Huh?

Qian Wen was curious, "Your boss is amazing! Where did you learn this craft?"

"Of course I learned it from the county magistrate's office."

"It's indeed Mrs. Yan's property."

"What the guest said is right, not right."

"Tell me, why is it wrong."

"Reporting to the guest, Mrs. Yan's North and South Commercial Bank does have a shareholding in this restaurant, but our boss is also a shareholder. Even my friend has benefited from it, and some of the shares are good. They have dividends at the end of the year."

Qian Wen was surprised to hear this pattern.

"I see that your restaurant is doing well, why is Mrs. Yan willing to come up with a secret recipe and let you invest in it?"

"The young man didn't know what Mrs. Yan thought. However, the young man remembered that Mrs. Yan said, "If you have money, everyone will make money. We should let everyone eat well, wear clothes and live in Pingyang County. Our boss used to be a restaurant chef. Later, when the disaster occurred, the boss ran away and the restaurant went bankrupt. Our boss also lost his livelihood. He once built a dam on the river bank. A few days ago, a notice was posted in the city to find a group of chefs. My boss turned over and the young man also benefited from it."

Qian Wen twitched twice, feeling very moved inside.

He asked again: "What kind of big shops and tea shops next to you are all found by Mrs. Yan, who found someone to work together?"

"The customer is very good! Our row of shops are all in a joint stock business. We can also be considered as a big tree to enjoy the cool air."

Qian Wen laughed, "Well said it! It's true that it's great to be on the big tree to enjoy the cool air. How many people want to curry favor with the princess's mansion, but they can't get in. You guys, pies are falling from the sky, and the opportunity is delivered to you. And I see, the business is pretty good.

However, as the saying goes, people will have immediate worries without long-term plans. After this wave of trend, have you ever thought that this small restaurant still has business?"

"Yes, of course there will be business. In the future, merchants from all over the world will come to our Pingyang County to do business. At that time, the business in our restaurants will definitely be several percent more than now."

When the shop assistant said this, he seemed particularly proud and confident.

Qian Wen was amazed.

He was very curious about what kind of ecstasy soup the Princess Pingyang mansion had given these people so blindly and confidently.

This is a chaotic scene in the end of the dynasty!

There is a possibility of fighting at any time, so where does the confidence come from?

Why do people in Pingyang County believe that they will not fight in this place?

He asked casually, "If there is a war one day, this business cannot be done."

The guy smiled happily, "It is also a good thing to make money for three to five years. I am worried about future events now, and it is really hard for us ordinary people. Do you want to add two more wine and food?"

"Okay! Let's chat with us, let alone two wine and food, I can eat all four or five wine and food masters. Let's have another pot of wine and we'll talk about it."

"Okay! What else does the guest want to eat? As long as you have it, I will ensure you will feel comfortable."

Qian Wen ordered four or five more wine dishes in one breath, all of which were meat dishes.

Master Wu smiled without saying a word, and did not stop him.

After a while, the wine and food were served.

The guy took the time to chat with their table.

After chatting, they realized that the guy was actually literate.

Been surprised!

Reading and literacy is a luxury.

It’s so rare that a little guy can read.

Qian Wen held the guy and refused to let go, "Tell me quickly, is your ancestors a wealthy family in trouble, so he has the opportunity to read and write."

"The guest official was joking again. The eight generations of my family were all mud-legged. When I was the poorest, I was hungry for three days and three nights, and I didn't even have to drink the dilute mouth. Not to mention studying, I have never seen anything like the book."

"Then how can you read?"

"Hehe... I made the guest laugh. Actually, I knew seventy or eighty words, all of which were the names of the dishes. North and South Commercial Banks held literacy classes. Guys like me had to go to the literacy class to know a few words before they could work in the restaurant. This was just the beginning. In the next one or two years, I had to keep studying and literacy. There was an assessment every three months. If the assessment failed, money would be deducted. We were under too much pressure, and this wage was not easy to earn!"

Everyone was amazed when they heard this.

"I have never heard of restaurant staff who have to read and write."

"The North-South Commercial Bank held a literacy class. Could it be that it was free to teach these guys to read?"

"This guest is right, it's free."

Everyone was talking.

Some people are already criticizing the behavior of organizing free literacy classes, which is a disgrace to the politeness.

A group of mud legs deserves the mud legs for the rest of their lives.

He actually took the initiative to give these mud legs a chance to read and write, what could that be?

If everyone can read in the future, will the world be in chaos?
