Li Kuan stayed in Xianling for half a month before returning to the current palace. Unlike the Jingzhou area in Chang'an City, he is the highest official. Even if it is a name and name, local officials dare not neglect. However, in the city of Chang'an, he was just a drop in the ocean, and Li Kuan was also happy when no officials came to pay a visit.
"My son, where are we going?"
Fei Lian asked suspiciously. He and Liao Fan accompanied Li Kuan from the Prince's Mansion and walked around the street aimlessly, wandering around the Dongshi Antique Market from time to time, or went to the West Market. Take a look, I wandered around for seven days at two o'clock.
It is not his style for Li Kuan to stay in the house and not go out. It is indeed a bit embarrassing for Li Kuan to live a free life in Jiangling. In the capital, I don't want to be so relaxed and comfortable, even if I walk on the streets, I will meet patrolling soldiers from time to time.
If anything happens in Chang'an City, you will be arrested and taken away for interrogation as soon as possible. Due to the curfew in Chang'an City, many people will come out during the day, even hawkers and shop owners will come out to solicit business.
If Jiangling is a nightlife, then Chang'an City is the opposite. The streets of the entire capital are empty at night, and no one except the soldiers on patrol can get away. Offenders are punished as guilty. For Li Kuan, a newcomer, this kind of life is really boring.
"Go to the world!"
Qian Wu had just returned from going out for a while, and he told him about the current situation of Tianxialou. The store in Jiangling City is almost profitable, occupying 90% of the profit. The business of other branches barely maintained. Li Kuan, who had nothing to do for the past seven days, wandered around. While observing the crowd, including the consumption habits of the people in Chang'an.
People living in Chang'an City are prosperous, much better than Jiangling City. According to the truth, business will never be bad in this situation. This made Li Kuan a little puzzled, wondering if there was something wrong with the drinks or dishes in the world.
So, taking advantage of this trip, Li Kuan decided to personally inspect it!
Liao Fan and Fei Lian are also familiar with the capital. They really don't know the location of Tianxialou. They looked at each other blankly, and both gave a wry smile. Since Li Kuan wanted to go to the world, the two of them had to find a way to ask for directions.
After a while, the two of them knew the way and drove the carriage to the direction of the world!
"The son is here!"
Li Kuan walked out of the carriage, looked up at the restaurant with the sign of Tianxialou, and then looked around, frowned. This is not the East and West Markets, but Kaihuafang, which is far from the imperial city. There was also a road away, and Li Kuan immediately noticed the problem in such a geographical location.
There are many shops in Kaihuafang, and there are also some official residences. The most sold around are not wine shops, but rice shops, book shops and so on. Needless to say, the shops at the foot of the world are heavily guarded, but this location is not even if officials want to come. If you dare to come, those rich businessmen do not dare to come in blatantly to eat and drink, Li Kuan's face is gloomy, such a site selection is completely self-defeating.
Li Kuan walked into the world with a cold face, and found that the shopkeeper and the buddies of the branch were sitting there weakly. There were only a few people dining in twos and threes. As for the second and third floors, they were completely decorated. When the three of them were in front of them, there were only a few people eating. When he came, the shopkeeper immediately winked and asked the guy to step forward to greet him.
The guy looked for Li Kuan with enthusiasm. This kind of service attitude made him very pleased, and he said straight to the point that he would go to the third floor. Suddenly, the guy looked at the shopkeeper with a look of embarrassment, and the shopkeeper hurried forward and said: "Guest, the third floor has not been repaired yet, how about the second floor?"
"The shopkeeper, can't the third floor be used?" Li Kuan said suspiciously, "The Tianxialou in Jiangling is well known by the world. I have eaten it several times and it tastes good. How can you enter the third floor in Tianxialou in Jiangling? Why can't this enter?"
The shopkeeper smiled in embarrassment with a blushing face, as if there was something unspeakable, and hesitated for a long time without giving a reason. Li Kuan didn't wait for him to speak when he saw it, and went straight up the stairs to the second floor. He glanced around and found that the environment on the second floor was not bad, but he was even more angry when he came to the third floor.
The shopkeeper saw that Li Kuan and the others had to go up to the third floor despite the obstacles, and hurriedly greeted them. Liao Fan and Fei Lian were both from the ranks. How these ordinary people could stop them, they had to watch Li. Kuan went up to the third floor, and the shopkeeper hurriedly followed.
What the shopkeeper said before was indeed an excuse. He did not want Li Kuan to go to the third floor because this floor was completely used as a warehouse. Not only was it dirty and messy, but it also had everything, like a garbage dump, it should be better than a dump at least not. Rancid smell.
Li Kuan's face was gloomy and terrifying, his previous good impressions were wiped out, and he turned around and left without saying a word. Seeing Li Kuan hurriedly coming and going, the shopkeeper didn’t know his identity until the three of them left before remembering that Li Kuan was the King of Chu, because only Chu King Li Kuan wore a golden mask all day in Chang'an City.
"The shopkeeper, this guest officer is so strange!" New Bayi Chinese website first published https://https://
The guy looked depressed at the back of Li Kuan and three of them leaving. He was not as knowledgeable as the shopkeeper, and naturally did not understand what was in the shopkeeper's heart. The shopkeeper watched Li Kuan and three of them left behind without saying a word, and suddenly he felt something in his heart. An ominous premonition came, and then he shook his head again: "It's true that he is the King of Chu. How can I get in touch with a business man like me? I think it's too much!" Genius remembers 噺バ壹中文 8 /1/z/o/m/
The shopkeeper didn't take Li Kuan's past visit to heart. People who are not fellow travelers would naturally not care about them. It was not until ten days later that the shopkeeper of Tianxialou in Chang'an received a letter from the shopkeeper saying that he would come to Chang'an in person in the near future. This shocked the shopkeeper, and suddenly remembered the Chu Wang Li Kuan whom he had met a few days ago. There is a connection between the two, but it is impossible to say what it is.
Li Kuan rushed out of the world, and his painstakingly managed restaurant actually became a third-rate restaurant in Chang'an. This is not an expansion but a tarnishing of the reputation of the restaurant. This is not a problem. In the evening, I discussed with Qian Wu and asked him to go to Tianxialou for an on-site inspection, especially if the situation like the branch in Chang'an City must be dealt with seriously.
In addition, Li Kuan also formulated a new set of rectification plans for Qian and Wu to implement together. The first to bear the brunt was the Tianxialou branch in Chang'an City. Because Chang'an City is the capital of Datang, the business of this store is extremely important and must be supervised. Even the branch with Luoyang City must be rectified.
Although it will affect the store's business in the early stage, this is insignificant compared to the future business. When Duan continues to suffer from the chaos, sometimes it is necessary to slash the chaos to solve the problem, otherwise it will become an obstacle to the development of the restaurant if it drags on for a long time, it is better to directly rectify and reform from the ground up is the best choice.
