Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 80 Target Customers
"Father Hu, come ten catties of meat!"

"Hey, okay, wait a moment, master!"

Hu’s butcher’s shop is located outside the South City Gate (Jubao Gate), on a street near the moat. The prosperity of Nanjing City has long radiated outside the city, and there are still bustling markets outside the city.

When Yang Chao arrived, several people were buying meat at the Hu family's butcher's shop, and there were three pieces of pork hanging in the butcher's shop.

Yang Chao pulled it away and shouted.

Hu Wanguan, a butcher, was cutting meat for a customer. He didn't turn his head back when he heard the shout, and responded first.

On the other side, Hu Quan was busy weighing a woman and was haggling with her.

Hu Quan also heard this, and quickly turned around to see Yang Chao.

"Okay, okay, I'll spare you three pennies!"

Hu Quan hurriedly agreed to the woman, and the woman paid the money proudly, picked up a thin strip of pork, looked at it, and left.

Hu Quan immediately felt Yang Chao's face, smiled awkwardly, and wiped his hand on the apron.

The kid is now wearing a short, rough dress and a dirty cloth apron.

"Brother Hu, I opened a brothel."

Yang Chao quietly told Hu Quan.

"What?"

Hu Quan was taken aback immediately, he didn't expect Yang Chao to open a brothel after missing him for a while.

He only knew that Yang Chao had gone to be an official, and he seldom saw each other since then.

"Then, congratulations Brother Yang."

Hu Quan said, with a hint of unfamiliarity in his tone.

Yang Chao couldn't bear it.

Good friends who grew up, partners who did things together, but when the four of them worked together, Yang Chao got a lot of money, and Wang Xiao even got a lot of relationship networks. After Kang Hui, he also took the opportunity to start a partnership. brothel.

Only Hu Quan, who didn't seem to get any benefits, came back home to buy meat.

Yang Chao thought about it, but he never seemed to have thought about what he could give his friends in return when he asked his friends to do things together.

Seeing Hu Quan's appearance at this time, and his slightly unfamiliar tone, it seemed that the two of them were no longer in the same world, and it was not Hu Quan who betrayed Yang Chao, but Yang Chao stayed away from this friend.

Yang Chao felt a little ashamed in his heart: "Brother Hu, please go see a famous prostitute."

After finishing speaking, Yang Chao himself felt a little ashamed. Could it be that he was ordered by you for many days for no reason, and in the end he got a visit to a famous prostitute in return?
Hu Quan smiled wryly: "Brother Yang, I'm too busy to leave!"

After speaking, he pointed to the shop. There were only a few people in the shop, Hu Wanguan, Hu Quan and a young woman (Hu Quan's sister-in-law).

Yang Chao couldn't help feeling disappointed, Hu Quan's tone, and what happened now, made him really unbearable.

It's not that Hu Quan's situation is difficult. Although the business of killing pigs and buying meat is looked down upon by ordinary people, it is very profitable.

Yang Chao doesn't discriminate against any industry, and doesn't think slaughtering pigs is a cheap profession, but he still feels that his good friend who worked with him will spend his life slaughtering pigs, so Yang Chao still feels that there is no future.

"Brother Hu. Otherwise, don't kill pigs. Do things with me, and you will definitely have a good future in the future."

After thinking about it, Yang Chao seriously suggested.

In Hu Quan's eyes, the look suddenly disappeared, as if he had made a great determination, he sighed: "Brother Yang, let me think about it."

Yang Chao fell down. He just thought that Hu Quan would reject it straight away. If he were himself, he would choose to run a butcher shop between a rich butcher shop and a job with a friend who has no guarantee. .

Unexpectedly, Hu Quan promised to think about it.

Yang Chao said: "Think about it carefully. Killing pigs and selling meat for a lifetime is really meaningless, isn't it?"

Hu Quan nodded: "Yes."

Yang Chao said: "I'm here to tell you that our brothel is about to open, and we invite you to come and see famous prostitutes."

Hu Quan sighed: "I really can't leave. I have to kill pigs at night."

Yang Chao said: "Don't worry, I will find a way for you."

At this moment Hu Wanguan gasped, he finished the work at hand, saw that his son was not there, and found that he was talking to a young man wearing a fine cloth gown, looking at that young man, it was Yang Chao, the son of Blacksmith Yang.

"It's Yang Chao. You were the one who called for meat just now?"

Hu Wanguan doesn't care who it is, he only thinks about his business.

Yang Chao smiled: "Father Hu, I suddenly don't want to eat meat anymore, another day, another day, let Hu Quan send it to me."

After Yang Chao finished speaking, he waved his hand, turned around and left slowly, and gave Hu Quan a wink to let Hu Quan understand that he had a solution, at worst, let Hu Quan send dozens of catties of meat to him, or let Hu Quan Is it all out?

From Hu's Butcher Shop, I went directly to Jinchai Building. It will open soon, and there is still a lot of work.

"Brother Kang, how is the cook?"

"They're all famous chefs from Nanjing who paid a lot of money to hire them."

"Well, our Jinchai Building does not do skin and meat business. Among the two characters of food and sex, the word food will make a big fuss. In the future, we can help people organize wedding banquets and banquets!"

"Isn't this a restaurant?"

"It's not exactly a restaurant. This is called diversified management. We will do more in the future. As long as we are famous, we can do anything."

Yang Chao was talking to Kang Hui, raising opinions. Yang Chao knew that the catering industry is a very profitable industry. It is said that the profit of the catering industry can reach 50.00% of the gross profit, which is very impressive.

Jinchai Building will become famous in the future, if people often come here for huge banquets, the profit should not be low.

"You arrange the guests and let me have a look."

Yang Chao had told Kang Hui that he would invite the guests separately, the distinguished guests would bring fame to the brothel, and they could enjoy preferential treatment, while those who were rich but unknown wanted the Jinchai Tower to bring them fame , then you have to charge more.

This time, Yang Chao invited not only civil servants, talented scholars, famous prostitutes, but also rich businessmen.

Among them, civil servants and gifted scholars bring fame to Jinchailou, famous prostitutes attract civil officials and talented scholars, and wealthy businessmen are the real high-quality customers. This is the biggest difference between Jinchailou and other brothels defined by Yang Chao. .

Soon Kang Hui took out the roster.

Yang Chao frowned while watching.

"Brother Kang, this won't work. It would be meaningless to invite rich businessmen and civil servants separately."

Yang Chao saw that Kang Hui had misunderstood his request. He arranged for wealthy businessmen and civil servants to come in different rooms and at different times.

Kang Hui frowned and said, "Brother Yang, if those masters are allowed to be with merchants, I'm afraid they will be unhappy. Moreover, merchants may not dare to sit on an equal footing with civil servants."

Yang Chao nodded: "It must be put together. That's good. The civil servants are at the front to show their status. Talented scholars are in the middle, and the wealthy businessmen are arranged at the end. If the civil servants are angry, they should be angry. Anyway, our target customers are wealthy businessmen. .”

Yang Chao thought for a while, but still insisted on his own opinion. His position for Jinchai Building is a high-end club that earns money from the rich. If officials can’t accept being with merchants, those problems will be solved in the future. Lou will leave a good impression, and in the future he will hold banquets, and if all the banquet guests come to Jinchailou, the business of Jinchailou will not be worrying.

Kang Hui frowned and nodded, he was actually unwilling to do this in his heart, as there was no brothel in Nanjing that did this.

Is this still a brothel?
