Farewell to his mentor Xu Jie, Zhu Pingan returned to the Marquis House Listening to Rain Xuan. Just entered the rain garden, Zhu Pingan found a surprise.
In the middle of the courtyard there is a bath tub, at first glance familiar, a closer look is even more familiar.
Er.
This bath bucket is not Xu Fan let people carry along the street hawking, no three hundred taels of silver will not sell, his father Xu step’s favourite bath bucket?
Ahem.
At that time, he just into the Xu House, heard Xu Fan said these words, the heart also slandered, thinking who will spend 300 silver to buy a second-hand bath bucket. 300 silver equivalent to RMB are more than 20,000 yuan, the Ming Dynasty bath bucket is not the modern kind of high-tech bath bucket with massage and other functions, with the wood put together a synthetic bath how to be able to value 300 silver.
Which wrongdoer will buy a second-hand bath bucket with?
Never thought that the wrongdoer he was thinking of at that time was himself.
“Giggle, does Auntie like it, this is what Miss specially spent 300 taels of silver to buy for Auntie to use.”
The bun little maid, Painter, popped out from some corner, like a little butterfly, giggling and appearing beside Zhu Pingan, stretching out her little chubby hand and patting the bath bucket, blinking her big watery eyes, looking at Zhu Pingan and asking.
Zhu Pingan sniffed and froze for a moment, if he allowed himself to use the second-hand bath bucket that Xu Shi often bathed in, this was really a huge challenge.
Although Zhu Pingan did not have a cleanliness fetish, once he thought about the fact that this bath tub was a bath tub that had been passed down for two generations in Xu Shi’s family, Zhu Pingan was somewhat deterred.
“Hun said, a stinky old man used the broken bath bucket who use ah, let people put into the warehouse, any corner into, save the eyesore.”
Li Shu fluttered to, wearing a beige embroidered with elegant plum blossom cloud smoke shirt, winding dragged the ground Jiang big red ancient pattern double butterflies cloud-shaped thousand water skirt, hand holding a Suzhou embroidered mandarin ducks playing water figure fan, pretty face as delicate as the moon of the three spring, a pair of watery eyes looking at the light, angrily laughed, slender jade hand in the buns little maid painting a light flick in the head.
“Miss, it hurts ……”The bun little maid’s pair of little fat hands covered her brain, looking at Li Shu with tearful eyes.
Thud.
Li Shu flicked the bun little maid again and said with an angry smile, “This is what hurts.”
The bun little maid let out a cry of pain and once again stretched out her little fat hand to cover her brain, this time it really hurt a little bit ……
“Miss, why do we have to spend 300 taels of silver to buy a broken bathing bucket ah, it looks like it’s been used ……”The bun little maid rubbed her brain and asked in confusion.
“Such a good opportunity, why not buy it.”Li Shu smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes looking forward, “Isn’t it Husband?”
Er.
Okay.
It’s a pity that Li Shu, this girl, doesn’t become an official.
Zhu Pingan smiled bitterly and rubbed his head, Li Shu is more suitable to be an official than himself, if Li Shu is a male, she will definitely be a better and bigger official than himself.
If Li Shu is a man, she will definitely be a better and bigger official than himself. Well, if you buy it, you can buy it, and it can be considered that you are a disciple to help your teacher.
Just owe Li Shu another three hundred taels of silver.
Oh.
How do you feel that you are on the road of eating soft rice farther and farther away, no, no, his own hall seven feet of male, do not support the family even if, how can you keep spending Li Shu’s money it.
He has to find a way to make money, Zhu Pingan once again moved the idea of the third industry, and decided to put it into action this time.
In the future, there would be a lot of places to spend money.
On the one hand, his salary was too small, on the other hand, his salary for this year was deducted by Emperor Jiajing’s last imperial decree.
Therefore, now he has no economic source, want to make money, can only start the third industry.
At noon, Wang Shizhen and Zhang Siwei jointly visited, they heard that Zhu Pingan was fined one hundred and sixty taels of silver, but the heart Zhu Pingan hand in a hurry to get together, this is not, they came together to give Zhu Pingan to send silver to come.
They have come together to send silver to Zhu Ping An.
The heart received, but the silver Zhu Pingan confiscated, because the fine silver has been in Li Shu’s strong financial support to pay up.
After hearing that Zhu Pingan had already paid the fine silver, Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen did not insist.
Zhang Siwei laughed and joked that I had already told Wensheng not to worry about ZiHou, ZiHou is the son-in-law of LinHuai Marquis, and I heard that ZiHou’s father-in-law has a lot of money, so what’s this fine silver?
Wang Shizhen also followed the smile.
Zhu Pingan helplessly smiled and shook his head, although Zhang Siwei they are flirting and joking, but still once again firmly Zhu Pingan to start the belief of the third industry.
Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen had to go to their respective government offices to work in the afternoon, Zhu Pingan invited them to have a simple lunch in the outer courtyard of the Marquis House, and then the two of them excused themselves to go to work, and Zhu Pingan sent them all the way outside the house.
The three of them separated at the end of Gonghou Street, Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen went to work, Zhu Pingan went to the East District Qihua Gate area alone.
The area around Qihua Gate in the Eastern District was a location that Zhu Pingan had been optimistic about last time, and it was the perfect place to start a tertiary industry.
This was the busiest area in the Imperial City except for the “first three gates”, and there was even more foot traffic than the first three gates.
Here is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to the imperial capital must pass through, is the entire Daming Empire’s economic lifeblood of the Heshin points, transporting food, merchants and traders to and from the four sides of the contribution to the capital, into the capital and out of the capital, officials, merchants, commoners and workers in and out of the endless, the Qihua Gate of the endless flow of traffic and horseback traffic.
Zhu Pingan had favoured this location last time, and had made preliminary considerations about the type of tertiary industry.
Catering.
Zhu Pingan’s initial plan for the tertiary industry is the catering industry, Qihua Gate area has a huge flow of people, doing the catering industry is the most suitable. Catering is an industry with a low entry threshold and high profits.
Initially, Zhu Pingan planned to face the crowd of common people and Lifu, doing mass catering. Zhu Pingan had examined that in this area, compared to merchants and officials, the civilian public had the largest base. Zhu Pingan was a grassroots foodie in modern times, and had eaten almost all the fast food shops and small restaurants in the neighbourhood when he was in school, and knew the most about the modern fast food industry and affordable restaurants. Of course, compared to high-end restaurants, the investment cost of this kind of mass catering is also much lower.
Last time, Zhu Pingan brought the bear child and the little loli Niu Niu to this side to inspect once, this area for the common people and Lifu’s restaurant has a lot of room for improvement, whether it is food, service or marketing and so on, the distance from the modern era is far from it.
A pot of tea are charged, the food is expensive, by which the meat dishes are more expensive, slow food, food lack of catty, bad service attitude, bad environment ……Problems and problems a whole lot, the list is not exhaustive, are not very popular.
Zhu Pingan plans to open a mass catering test water, healthy catering, let the people, both let the people benefit, but also let themselves more into the project, why not.
Come out, fast food.
