Chapter 167 Chuanji Malatang Opens
There is a rest house near Qujiang Pond, Xiao Chuan found a better one, took out the bedding from the space warehouse, and fell asleep.
Sleeping until noon, Xiao Chuan had dinner, returned to Chang'an City, loaded two carts of coal at the coal shop, and asked the coachman to drive the cart to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The servants went to inform Yang Guang, who happened to be at home.
"Cousin Chuan, why are you free to come over today?"
"Ah Chan, I see that the weather is still a bit cold, so I brought charcoal to Uncle, Aunt and you."
"Cousin Chuan, our family burns charcoal, not coal. The smoke from coal is poisonous and can easily kill people."
"Ah Cheng, I have already learned how to build a kang, a wall with a fire, and a stove. If you don't light a fire indoors, there will be no danger."
"Cousin Chuan actually knows how to build a kang?"
As they talked, the two came to Dugu Jialuo's room. As soon as he explained that Dugu Jialuo advocated frugality, he was naturally very interested. He called the bricklayer from the mansion and quickly learned how to make a fire kang.
The kang was ready, the coal was burning in the stove outside, and there was no smoke in the bedroom, Dugu Jialuo was very satisfied.
The bricklayer went to make a Kang for Yang Guang.
Yang Guang pulled Xiao Chuan aside and flattered him, "Brother Chuan, this is a good idea, I'll let the bricklayers in the mansion learn how to cook the kang, go to various mansions to get work, and then we'll buy charcoal and sell it to them. "
Xiao Chuan smiled and said, "Ah Chen, you don't need to go elsewhere to buy coal, I sell it here."
Yang Guangdao: "Cousin Chuan, where did you get the charcoal?"
Xiao Chuan said: "The Dugu family traded with me."
Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, then he said with a hearty smile: "My uncle's family really failed to steal the chicken this time, but lost the rice. They lost the wife and lost the army, so happy!"
Xiao Chuan said: "Be low-key, low-key, otherwise you won't be able to take advantage of it in the future."
"Hee hee hee."
The two of them chuckled like two chicken thieves who had succeeded.
Yang Guangdao: "Brother Chuan, I happen to have an empty shop, why not use it to sell charcoal."
Xiao Chuan said: "Okay, let's work together. Buyers who buy one hundred shi will give the Kangkang for free."
Yang Guangdao: "This is a good idea and can attract customers."
Yang Guang went in to ask his mother for help, and invited the wives from various prefectures to visit the kang, and he and Xiao Chuan went to choose the location of the shop.
This time I chose two shops, one near the prime minister's mansion, which mainly deals in large lumps of coal, and caters to high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
The other is near Chuanji Malatang, which mainly sells briquettes and is open to ordinary people.
Soon, the plaque of "Charcoal Bank" was hung up. At first, people were watching and inquiring. Later, seeing those high-ranking officials and dignitaries starting to buy large quantities of charcoal, they also became curious.
I heard that if you buy charcoal, you will get a pan-heated kang as a gift. There is no soot and safety is guaranteed. People who have the courage to try to start a pan-fired kang and burn coal, the effect is really good.
Seeing business opportunities, more merchants selling coal have increased, and various small coal mines have also been launched.
Under Xiao Chuan's suggestion, Yang Jian was well prepared to open a coal kiln and obtained a coal mining license from the prime minister's office.
Another large sum of money was brought to Yang Jian, and Yang Jian, who had been in a tight financial situation, couldn't keep his mouth shut for a few days.
Now that there is income from the kang and coal kiln, the excavation of the canal is smooth. During the day, the villagers work, and at night Xiao Chuan continues to dig with a forklift.
The vegetables in the greenhouse are growing up soon, and the Malatang shop is about to be renovated, so it's time to open!
For several days in a row, Xiao Chuan spent the day in the shop, and began to supervise the decoration of the craftsmen, recruit manpower, buy ingredients, and make iron pots.
At the same time, migrant workers were hired to widen the entire street, re-level it, sprinkle loess, clean up the stinky gutters, cover the open gutters with stone slabs and turn them into hidden gutters, and built toilets and set up garbage bins on the streets.
It also specially marks words and images such as harmful garbage, recyclable garbage, and other garbage on the garbage bins.
Xiao Chuan wanted to classify garbage. This environmental awareness was established in the Sui Dynasty and would be passed down to generations and benefit all generations.
Xiao Chuan also hired a few idlers to act as city management, urging other shop assistants and passers-by on the street to be hygienic, not to defecate, dump dirty water, or litter.
Repeat offenders are fined or served as a sanitation supervisor for a day.
These idlers were originally idlers with no dignity. Now they suddenly have positions like official posts. They immediately changed their bad habits and supervised and inspected very seriously. Don't let it go.
At first, everyone was not used to it, and they didn't dare to blame Yang Guang. Knowing that these requests were made by Xiao Chuan, they all complained that Xiao Chuan was meddling with the mouse.
After a few days, people gradually got used to it and began to pay attention to hygiene, and those shopkeepers found that since the sanitation of this street became better, there were more customers and business began to improve, so the past complaints became I am grateful, but it is Yang Guang who is grateful, and everyone subconsciously forgets that Xiao Chuan did these things.
"It's still the second son of the prime minister's mansion who is wise and willing to spend money to improve the streets."
At first, Yang Guang just wanted Xiao Chuan to open a Mala Tang shop, and he didn’t want to repair the street. Seeing that the strings of copper coins disappeared, he was very distressed, but seeing that other shops were doing well, he agreed, and began to pay attention to Mala Tang. There is a faint expectation for the hot shop's business.
Money is easy to do. After Xiao Chuan spent a large sum of money, Chuanji Malatang shop was renovated, and the nearby streets became clean and orderly.
December [-]th, the second year of the elephant, is auspicious. It is advisable to open a business, build a beam, get married, break ground, and make a stove. Avoid digging canals, digging wells, funerals, and closing accounts.
Yang Guang was in the center, accompanied by Li Yuan and Xiao Chuan. Yang Guang lifted the red cloth outside the plaque with a bamboo pole, revealing a plaque with gold characters on a black background, with five large characters "Chuan Ji Malatang" written on it.
Although it is located in a remote place, due to the good publicity, hundreds of people gathered outside "Chuan Ji Mala Tang", and there were a lot of discussions.
"What is Malatang? Brother, have you ever eaten it?"
"I haven't eaten it, so I don't know what it is."
"The leading noble son is the prime minister's second son. Malatang is a famous dish in the prime minister's mansion."
"The Prime Minister's Second Young Master's recommendation will definitely not be bad."
"I've heard from my elder father that when the Queen Mother of the West was feasting on the immortals in Kunlun Mountain, she had a fragrant soup and made it Malatang."
"Grandfather is really well-known and memorized."
"Ma La Tang is so magical, isn't it expensive?"
A clerk with a handkerchief on his shoulder shouted loudly: "Chuan Ji Buffet Mala Tang is open, choose your own dishes, charge by the catty, and only charge ten cents per catty, opening discount, [-]% discount. "
"Only eight cents per catty of vegetables? So cheap?"
Hearing the words, a few bold foodies moved into Chuanji Malatang shop, took the small bamboo basket from the store clerk, and curiously picked the ingredients on a large cabinet. After the selection, handed the small bamboo basket to A shop clerk.
The shop assistant quickly weighed the food and collected the money. The other shop assistant poured the ingredients into a large colander, soaked them in the boiling soup for a while, put them in a small basin, and handed them to the diners.
"It's so spicy!"
"It's hot!"
"It's so fragrant!"
"There are green vegetables! Could it be that the second son of the prime minister got them out of the palace?"
