Chapter 185 Portal

The girls each got twenty copper coins pocket money and happily went to the backyard to help clean up, while Yang Yun stayed in the main hall to take care of it.

Not long after, Wu Yuan came out and sat down next to Yang Yun, with his face full of thoughts.

"The master has come to Luoyang and goes to the palace to fight with his master. I think he has become famous... Why does the master still work so hard to make money on his own?"

Wu Yuan asked with a serious face.

Yang Yun laughed: "There is a reason to make money? No one will think that it's too much money... Besides, there are too many places to spend money here."

Wu Yuan thought for a while and said, "Does it cost to practice Taoism? Is the master planning to establish his own Taoist temple in Luoyang and Chang'an? He recruits disciples?"

Seeing Wu Yuan's serious look, Yang Yun smiled casually and said, "In my opinion, recruiting disciples is a business that makes money, and it doesn't cost much money... But you reminded me that since I already have a certain reputation, I can indeed consider recruiting disciples... How much is appropriate to recruit an apprentice? I need to study it carefully..."

Wu Yuan frowned, and he couldn't understand what Yang Yun did. However, as an apprentice, she was not qualified to question Yang Yun's decision, so she returned to the inner courtyard after giving the salute.

Yang Yun glanced at Wu Yuan's back and sighed: "I make money by simply completing the original accumulation of capital. I can't move without money. How can I explain these to you, a little girl who is not familiar with the world?"

...

...

The business of Zuixianlou has been very popular all day long, and there is a constant stream of customers coming to visit, so there is no problem of not having to eat.

In the past, I could only do two meals at noon and evening. Now, the door is open in the morning and guests are visiting each other until the night, and I have to queue up every moment.

Yang Yun has considered opening a branch.

But he was afraid that after the freshness of customers would not be so lively again. Hunger marketing is also a means of promotion. Only when the supply cannot keep up with demand will more people flock to it.

"The people of this era are no different from those of the future generations. The more they can't get what they get, the more they cherish it, the more they can't grab it, the more they want to steal it... This is exactly the same as grabbing a house when housing prices rise in later generations."

Yang Yun originally planned to take out the drinks, but seeing that the business was so good, the daily supply was barely enough for the restaurant sales. Even if there was an occasional surplus, he would rather save it first and not plan to take advantage of outsiders for the time being.

Because Mijia cooperated with Yang Yun to make wine, he found that the high-altitude wine sold through restaurants every day was about 200 jars, one jar was one dou, which was about ten liters, and each liter was discounted by 300 liters. The wine alone cost 600 guan a day, and the cost of raw materials and labor was only 30 guan, which was a huge profit of twenty times.

There is no patent in this era. The Mi family could use Yang Yun's technology to benefit themselves, but because of Yang Yun's mysterious Taoist priest and the support of the government, they dare not step beyond the line.

As the representative of the Mi family, Mi Ying tried to tell Yang Yun that the winemaking workshop was expanded and the rapid occupation of the Datang liquor market was all ruling by Yang Yun. Mi Ying was not discouraged and wanted to be fully responsible for the marketing of new wines in the form of "exclusive agent".

That day, Mi Ying arrived at Zuixianlou again. It was already late afternoon, and the store was still full of guests. Fortunately, Yang Yun had already hired enough staff to deal with the guests in two shifts, so he and a few little loli were not required to support him.

Yang Yun invited Mi Ying to the second floor private room and asked someone to send tea.

Mi Ying said straight to the point: "The Mi family has been doing business in the past few years, and the profits they have made are not as good as the restaurant of Gongzi... If Gongzi can promise us to use a secret recipe to make wine and sell it publicly to the public, it will definitely give you a satisfactory price."

In the eyes of the Mi family, Yang Yun’s place is a treasure pot, and his daily income is the same as the wind blows, so he can get as much as he wants.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "You business people who travel around the world make money. The capital cycle is long and there is no short-term effect, so I want to take away my good deal?"

I immediately smiled and said, "Since Miss Mi said so directly, I might as well make it clear. If the supply of wine increases exponentially and the high-alcohol wine is spread out in the Luoyang market, my grand occasion will not last long... There are high-alcohol wines to provide, so why don't others visit those luxuriously decorated restaurants?"

Mi Ying thought about it, her expression was full of embarrassment. After a long time, she asked tentatively: "What if we open a restaurant together? The Mi family can provide a larger venue to make the best restaurant in Luoyang."

Yang Yun smiled and shook his head, saying, "Actually there is no need to say that you must continue to run a restaurant... This way, you brew wine and sell it elsewhere, such as selling it to Hebei, Shandong and Jiangnan. Isn't that a competitive relationship?"

"OK."

Mi Ying's eyes suddenly lit up. This could be said to be the best way to solve the current dilemma. However, she immediately thought of something and sighed, "I heard that the Hu people wanted to buy the young master's secret recipe at a high price. The young master did not agree, and I don't know the price..."

Yang Yun had a smile on his face and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say. After all, we are in a cooperative relationship. Selling it to you can be mutually beneficial. However, selling it to the Hu people will completely lose the secret recipe. It's not the same. However, you must ensure confidentiality, after all, it's all for making money."

"What's the price?"

Mi Ying told her most concerned issues.

Yang Yun is not a layman in business, and said with a smile: "Depending on your Mi family's sincerity, I am only responsible for the business of both capitals. As long as you are not involved in the two capitals, you can sell the outside wine, and the price is as much as possible... You go back and discuss it yourself, and we will find another time to discuss it."

...

...

Yang Yun didn't talk about the price, but he didn't want the Mi family to take too much advantage.

Now, on the one hand, the Mi family wants to do winemaking business to maintain the family business, and on the other hand, they have to make friends with him, a person who has a lot to do with the officialdom. The combination of the two is not a problem of price alone.

Yang Yun wanted to set up something like shares, but he didn't know how to explain it to people of this era. It would be better to let the Mi family quote on their own and see what the Mi family has.

Mi Ying went back to discuss with her family that day. Obviously, this kind of thing cannot be achieved in one or two days. The Mi family needs to weigh the pros and cons and consider how much money they can make in the winemaking business and estimate how much capital they invest.

Yang Yun did not press the Mi family, and the Mi family was more anxious than him in this matter.

He has not seen Songmei and Wang Ji these two days, but he heard that everything was peaceful there. Some wealthy families asked Songmei to do rituals. Songmei would refuse for the time being as Yang Yun's instructions. Songmei's identity needs to be defined by the court. Although Li Longji called Songmei the Heavenly Master, there were no court officials who were watching to prove it. Some things need to be watched.

I saw that it was snowing heavily in Luoyang on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month.

After the snow, the restaurant business was much lighter. Yang Yun could finally relax and no longer worry about business matters. He began to think about buying New Year gifts for Yang Yuhuan.

After the banquet held by the Luoyang government to welcome Princess Xianyi, Yang Yuhuan was jailed for a long time. At the end of the year, Yang Xuanzuo saw that Yang Yuhuan was not targeted by the crazy bee and wave butterfly, so he asked Yang Yuhuan to walk out of the house again. Yang Yuhuan could finally come to Yang Yun to fall in love with the bitter water.

Yang Yuhuan likes Yang Yun very much. This is not only her younger brother, but also a bloody relative, but more importantly, every time she sees Yang Yun, she will not return empty-handed.

"You bought so many things for your sister, how can you be embarrassed?"

Under Yang Yun's guidance, Yang Yuhuan walked into the boudoir, opened the wardrobe, and was extremely happy to see the new clothes hanging full of clothes.

Yang Yun smiled and said, "I have made some money in the restaurant recently, so I am thinking about buying some New Year gifts for my sister... As long as my brother has it, my sister can take it. My brother here promises that I will never let my sister suffer any grievances."

Yang Yuhuan's eyes immediately turned red, and she hugged Yang Yun in her arms excitedly. After a while, she let go, holding Yang Yun's shoulder and looking at each other: "Don't spend money randomly next time. You can save some money to prepare for a virtuous lady. You are so capable now that even the daughter of a wealthy family can be brought back. Our Yang family may be able to prosper from you."

Speaking of this, Yang Yuhuan's face was full of longing and no longer mentioned asking Yang Yun to marry Xiaohong.

Maybe I feel that Yang Yun has left a deep impression on the emperor now, and that he may become the "national teacher" of the Tang Dynasty in the future, and then marrying a businessman's daughter is a bit inappropriate.

Yang Yun smiled and joked: "Sister has changed his mind?"

Yang Yuhuan gave Yang Yun a angrily glance and said, "Are you talking about Xiaohong? My sister is actually considering our Yang family... The Yang family has long been broken down since the father's accident. Fortunately, you have made a name for yourself, but if you want to make some achievements in the court in the future, you must have a powerful father-in-law."

"I've been asking around these days what are the daughters or granddaughters of high-ranking officials in the court who are not married. Let's go back and make a list, and you can try it out."

"Ahem, there's no need, right?" Yang Yun said.

Yang Yuhuan said angrily: "What, do you think your sister will harm you? Marrying a wife and a virtuous family background can bring you great help. This is the greatest virtue. If you like beautiful women, you can take a few more beautiful concubines. As for Xiaohong... If you like, you can take her into the room as a concubine... This will not hurt our sisters' relationship."

Yang Yun thought to himself: "Give your good sister to your younger brother as a concubine, is this what you said not to hurt feelings?"

Yang Yun felt that he could not understand Yang Yuhuan's brain circuit, but he also understood that Yang Yuhuan had no intention of cheating on his younger brother in this matter, but just said the most selfish and powerful words... In fact, it was also to use her life experience to educate him, with good intentions.

Yang Yun smiled ashamed and said, "I have written down my words from my sister, but I will take the imperial examination after the New Year and let it go in advance when getting married."

"You are so outstanding as a Taoist priest, why do you have to take the imperial examination?" Yang Yuhuan frowned.

Yang Yun said in surprise: "Sister forgot that I am a tribute in Hanzhou Township? The purpose of my visit to Luoyang this time is to take the imperial examination. As for practicing Taoism... it is my side job."

Yang Yuhuan smiled anxiously: "You silly brother, what's the point of taking the imperial examination? It's higher than what you have achieved now? There are so many scholars in the world, how many Jinshi can be awarded at an imperial examination? You have to slowly become an official from bottom to top. You... you are clearly looking for trouble."

Yang Yun thought to himself, if I don’t take the imperial examination, I will be a Tianshi in the court in the future and have no right to interfere in any major affairs in the court. That is not my pursuit.

"Sister, don't worry, I'm good at learning. Even if I can't pass the exam in one time, I can take the exam a few more times. Anyway, the exam won't cost much. If I have a Jinshi status on me, will it be more convenient to do things in the court in the future?" Yang Yun said with a smile.

Yang Yuhuan glanced at Yang Yun again: "You stupid brother, you really don't know the world. Fortunately, you came to Luoyang. My sister can give you some advice at any time... If you have any problems in the future, you must discuss with your sister, otherwise you won't know what's going on."

"I will let you do the imperial examination first when taking the imperial examination, but you must not delay your business... This is the foundation for our Yang family to settle down!"
