Chen Xiaocai did some calculations. The entrance fee for this hot spring hall is one tael of silver. There is no charge to soak in the hot springs, but if you want to have a massage, you need to pay extra. If you want to have your own exclusive bathrobe, you also need to pay extra. money.
Shen Chi looked at the account book and said, "There are quite a few people buying bathrobes!"
Chen Xiaocai nodded, and said, "Yes, there are quite a lot of people."
If you buy a bathrobe, the bathrobe belongs to the person. If you want to take it away, you can store it in the exclusive cabinet of the hot spring hall. A bathrobe costs 500 renminbi, which is not cheap. Compared to the sales volume of bathrobes, there are not many people looking for massage therapists in hot springs. Chen Xiaocai thought, this massage is still a new thing, and the ones here are better. People still have resistance to a stranger pressing around on their body.
Shen Chi took a look at Chen Xiaocai, and said, "Xiaocai, how do you think Brother Lin thought of massage?"
Chen Xiaocai shook his head and said, "I don't know."
In fact, at the beginning, Lu Lin told Chen Xiaolai that Chen Xiaocai was also very uncomfortable when he was looking for someone to do a massage in the hot spring. It was so calm that Chen Xiaocai felt that it was no big deal.
How did Lu Lin think of this
Chen Xiaocai suddenly thought, maybe elder brother and brother Lin often hid in the house and massaged each other, so he thought of massage.
Chen Xiaocai shook his head, and let go of the weird thoughts in his head. The eldest brother is a person who pays attention to rules, and Brother Lin must be messy. That's why he thought of massage, although massage is also very comfortable. .
Shen Chi looked at Chen Xiaocai's expression, and said puzzledly: "What's the matter with you? What are you thinking, your face is so strange." Chen Xiaocai blushed, and said, "It's nothing."
Shen Chi tilted his head, propped his chin and said, "Brother Lin, it seems that he always has some weird ideas."
Chen Xiaocai nodded, and said: "Yes, Lu Lin has so many weird ideas, it's just a massage, it doesn't seem to be a big deal, Shen Chi looked at the account book, and said: "It's strange, there are quite a lot of people buying meal tickets! "They obviously gave away meal tickets.
Chen Xiaocai nodded and said, "That's right, this one is quite surprising."
As long as you buy the entrance ticket, you can stay in the hot spring for a few days. However, there are only two meal tickets. After eating two meals in the hot spring, if you want to eat again, you need another I bought a meal ticket, and a meal ticket of two hundred yuan sold a lot.
"I heard that the food in the hot spring hall is highly rated by the guests, and some people stay in the hot spring hall just to eat."
Shen Chi was a little puzzled and said: "What are these people thinking about? If you want to eat, you can go to a restaurant. The places to eat in the hot springs are just decorations. Generally speaking, the price is still a bit expensive. "
However, then again, hot springs take a high-end route, and word-of-mouth is very important. Therefore, there are also a lot of food in hot springs. Perhaps the form of buffet is also more popular. Among hot springs The dining environment should also be good.
"Maybe some people think that eating in the hot spring restaurant can make money." Chen Xiaocai said.
This hot spring restaurant adopts the form of what you can eat and take it casually. Chen Xiaocai was also worried that he would suffer a loss when he met someone who could eat it, but in fact, there are still a small number of people who can eat it, and the profit is still quite big .
The hot spring was full on the first day of its opening. Although the proportion of people who choose massage is not high, there are still many people who try massage because of the large number of people.
The hot spring hall was hot for three days, and then it gradually became deserted.
After all, the price of hot springs is still a bit high, not affordable for ordinary people, and after some nobles have tried it a few times, although they like it very much, they will not spend all day in hot spring restaurants.
However, not long after the hot spring opened, hundreds of taels of silver were credited to the account, and the return was almost one-third of the cost, which already made Chen Xiaocai very satisfied.
The word-of-mouth reputation of the hot springs has already been established, and Chen Xiaocai reckons it won't be long before they can make up for it.
"The hot springs are still very popular!" Shen Chi said.
Chen Xiaocai nodded and said, "That's right, a lot of people from the surrounding towns have also come."
"Even so, the number of customers is still decreasing. It is very important to maintain the source of customers!" Shen Chi said with some concern.
The price of this hot spring is still a bit high. The chefs, masseurs, and some handymen in the spa all need money to support them. If there is no source of customers, it will be a big problem to support such a group of people. Although the recent business is good, it is also because everyone is greedy for new things.
Chen Xiaocai nodded and said, "Don't worry about the source of customers for the time being. Brother Lin said, if there is really no business here, we will issue some entrance tickets and invite people to come and play for free."
Shen Chi glanced at Chen Xiaocai, and said, "It's free, so doesn't that mean you will lose money?"
Chen Xiaocai said with some embarrassment: "Brother Lin said, this can increase popularity. If people who go there are willing to eat inside, it can drive consumption. Moreover, the free entrance ticket is also a favor. However, that is not yet the case.”
Shen Chi nodded, and said: "I also feel that this is not the case for the time being... Hot springs seem to have become a good place to do business. Many people like to go to hot springs to do business. Although there are fewer tourists recently, However, there are still a lot of people going.”
"Let's talk about it in the off-season. I think the current situation should still be popular for a while." Chen Xiaocai said.
Kyoto.
After Prince Cheng returned to Kyoto, some hot pot restaurants appeared one after another in Kyoto.
Many people who have eaten Shaxian hot pot can imitate seven or eight points after going back to study.
There are still a lot of talented people in Kyoto. Although Lu Lin's hot pot base recipe is kept secret, many chefs can still imitate it after tasting it. Some can also be improved on the basis of Lu Lin hot pot.
Prince Cheng wandered around the street, and said disdainfully: "This is another hot pot restaurant, yes, my lord, do you want to try it?"
Prince Cheng curled his lips, and said: "No need, it must be another counterfeit shop. After eating here, the Shaxian hot pot restaurant tastes the best. As for the ones here, most of them came back from stealing teachers."
"My lord said yes!"
"Whenever, it would be great to go to Sha County again." Prince Cheng waved his fan, looking forward to it.
The steward of the palace on the side said helplessly: "My lord, please stop making trouble."
The task of the labor force before this, because the prince was delayed for too long, the Holy Majesty seemed to have some criticisms, but the Holy Majesty was a wise king after all, and he did not criticize him harshly.
Prince Cheng shook the fan in his hand, and said: "I'm just talking about it. I heard that there is a new delicacy called Roasted Whole Lamb in Sha County. It seems very good. There is a little bastard in the Gao family. It took eighty taels of silver to photograph it, if I was still in Sha County, where would I get that brat!"
"Yes, my lord, if you're still in Sha County, where would you get those little bastards!"
Prince Cheng rubbed his chin, and said: "I heard that Ji Yunan and Chen Maimai are engaged. This kid is quite discerning. The royal family officials smiled dryly. Ji Yunan passed the exam in Qiuwei, and there was a lot of excitement. It seems that he has gained a lot of limelight, and many famous families in the capital have set their sights on this kid, but this kid gave up his ranking in the exam and went to the border to find a fool."
Many people in this capital are discussing in private that Ji Yun'an is probably out of his mind, if not, why would he marry a stupid little Shuang'er instead of those famous daughters.
"My lord, you know this Chen Mai. Everyone says that this little Shuang'er is a fool."
Prince Cheng nodded, and said: "It's a bit dull, but it's not stupid! That's a very interesting little girl who looks very energetic. Ji Yun'an is lucky."
The housekeeper smiled dryly, and thought to himself: This is looking for a wife, not a cook. This skill is good, but it's not very useful. Lord Cheng lived in the county government for a while, and ate many dishes made by Chen Mai. Very optimistic about Chen Mai.
Thinking of the burritos made by Chen Mai, Prince Cheng swallowed subconsciously. Although the chef of the palace also made burritos for him, after eating them, Prince Cheng always felt that they didn't taste that way.
Prince Cheng clapped his hands with a fan, and said: "Ji Yunan and Chen Maimai are not young anymore, they should get married as soon as possible!"
Prince Cheng pondered: Ji Yunan and Chen Maimai seemed to be engaged in Sha County, but they were not married yet. Ji Yunan's family members are all in the capital, so the engagement matter can be handled in the countryside, and the marriage matter should be handled in the capital.
The butler looked at Prince Cheng speechlessly, and thought to himself: Ji Yunan's marriage should be something that Ji Yunan's relatives should worry about!
"My lord, don't you want to..."
Prince Cheng played with the fan in his hand, and said: "Chen Maimai and Ji Yun'an are young talents, such a match made in heaven, the marriage should be done sooner!"
The butler looked at Lord Cheng in surprise, and thought: Ji Yunan is a young talent, it’s not bad, but it’s a little bit reluctant to say that Chen Maimai is a talent, this little pair doesn’t seem to have a very good reputation. Many people have come to Ji Yunan before. Ji Yun'an didn't respond to the marriage proposal, but found a silly little Shuang'er instead. Under the deliberate publicity of Zhao Heng's family, Chen Maimai's reputation is actually very stinky.
County government office.
Lu Lin looked at the letter in his hand and was speechless.
Chen Xiaomi walked into the room, looked at the wandering Lu Lin, and said, "What's wrong with you!"
Lu Lin glanced at Chen Xiaomi and said, "A letter from the prince."
Chen Xiaomi said curiously: "What did the lord say!" After all, the lord is the lord. After the lord Cheng left, he hadn't contacted them for a long time.
"The prince asked Mai Mai and Ji Yun'an when they would go to the capital to get married, and he also said that he would be a matchmaker for them."
Chen Xiaomi said strangely: "The marriage has been settled, so I came to protect the matchmaker."
"Is it an afterthought!"
Lu Lin smiled and said: "No matter what, if the prince protects the matchmaker, the marriage between Chen Maimai and Ji Yun'an will be smoother."
Chen Xiaomi nodded, and said, "That's right!" Chen Xiaomi was a little worried about Ji Yun'an's father's affairs. If Prince Cheng was willing to speak, then Zhao Heng probably wouldn't say anything.
"Why does Prince Cheng help Maimai?" Chen Xiaomi asked in confusion.
Lu Lin said with a strange expression: "Prince Cheng wants to eat roasted whole lamb."
Chen Xiaomi couldn't help being speechless for a while, "For the sake of food, Lord Cheng has really tried his best!" Chen Xiaomi probably understood what Prince Cheng meant, and when the wheat went to the capital, he could cook whole lamb for him in the capital. up.
"I didn't expect that the reputation of Roasted Whole Lamb would spread to Kyoto so quickly." Lu Lin said.
Chen Xiaomi puffed up her cheeks and said, "There are so many people in Kyoto here, so the current news will naturally spread quickly."
Lu Lin frowned, and said, "Go and call Chen Maimai and Ji Yunan over."
Lu Lin thought to himself: The prince has sent a letter, so he can't pretend he didn't see it, it's a relative of the emperor.
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "Okay."
