Return to the army? Yuan Gang remained silent. It wasn't easy for him to obtain this identity. How could he let it go to waste?
He led Feng, Lin, Huo, and Shan into the Qi Kingdom and encountered a sudden change in the Qi Kingdom's border army. He rescued a dozen soldiers who had escaped death and were being chased. After understanding some of the situation, Yuan Gang decisively decided to make use of it. The five of them chose five people with suitable family backgrounds to impersonate and help the soldiers escape from the Kingdom of Qi.
Although the five impersonators had decent identities, they were all nameless soldiers. Apart from the annihilated troops, no one knew them. To others or even the higher-ups, they were just five names on the register.
However, for the sake of safety, he did not hesitate to expose himself and take the risk of luring the pursuers away. This allowed the pursuers to recognize him several times.
After that, he fled to the Qi Capital with a bellyful of grievances.
After arriving at the Qi Capital, he did not randomly find someone to cry his grievances to. He first investigated the situation in the capital and confirmed that General Huyan Wuhen was a suitable target to cry his grievances to. Then, he decisively seized Huyan Wuhen's son, Huyan Wei, and used him as a hostage to see Huyan Wuhen cry his grievances.
Unexpectedly, Huyan Wuhen promised to wait for his son to be safe, but suddenly ordered to capture him!
Over a hundred people rushed forward, but they were scattered by the five people.
"Stop!" Upon seeing the appearance of the archers, Huyan Wuhen raised his hand to stop the mages beside him from taking action. He shouted at the surrounding attackers to retreat. With a face full of admiration, he said, "No wonder you could escape all the way to the capital!"
At this moment, Yuan Gang understood that this General was testing them. He was verifying how they were able to escape to the capital under heavy pursuit.
However, they were still placed under house arrest. A few days later, some people came to meet them. They were the military personnel who had chased after them.
Yuan Gang knew that Huyan Wuhen was still verifying their identities. He was secretly amazed at the General's ability to find the people who had met them so quickly.
After that, their house arrest was lifted. Huyan Wuhen wanted to transfer them to his own command.
However, the five of them refused, saying that they were disheartened and only wanted to be commoners.
Huyan Wuhen didn't force them and agreed. He also told them to consider it carefully and that they could come back whenever they wanted. That was how the current situation came about.
Seeing that he wasn't speaking, Hu Yanwei urged, "Brother An, say something!"
Yuan Gang, who was holding a burlap sack, stopped moving and said in a deep voice, "Third Young Master, you know how we survived. We really don't want to get involved in those flies and dogs. The matters of the higher-ups are too complicated. We can't figure them out, and we can't do anything about them. It wasn't easy for us to escape, and we just want to live in peace. We appreciate Great General's good intentions, but we really don't want to go back! "
He had just bought these soybeans. Who would have thought that he would run into something happening outside?
Hu Yanwei let out a light sigh. He could understand his feelings, but he still advised, "When it comes to benefits, some disgusting things will inevitably happen. It depends on what kind of mentality you have to face it. Running away is not a solution. My father admires you so much. How many people can only dream of such an opportunity? Are you really willing to be a merchant for the rest of your life? "
Yuan Gang replied, "There's nothing wrong with being a merchant. It's good now!"
Hu Yanwei was speechless. Speaking of this, he realized that his father had miscalculated.
His father's initial plan was to let these people face the reality of the secular world and let them hit a wall. They would naturally understand what to do, so he didn't force them. He didn't think that doing a snack business would be good. Who knew that a snack business was actually operated by these few people and made a lot of money, which made his father speechless. It was not good to go back on what he had promised, so he could only ask him to come over every two or three days to persuade him.
However, from another perspective, these people's actions dispelled some of his father's doubts. He didn't have to worry that they were people with ulterior motives. They didn't want to be officials and only wanted to be commoners. Naturally, he didn't have to worry that they were spies who wanted to infiltrate the army.
Looking at this person, he could casually carry a burlap sack that weighed over a hundred kilograms. His strength was enough to make people's teeth hurt. He could still remember the scene when he was being held hostage. His mount was killed by a single punch from this person. How ferocious!
After that, his father took a fancy to him and said that he could be a valiant general. He scolded the border army for wasting his talent!
However, this person's style was the kind of person who would rather break than bend. It was easy for him to offend his superiors. His father felt that it was reasonable for him to be buried.
However, his father liked him and wanted to recruit him. However, he ended up like this!
"Sigh!" Hu Yanwei sighed. Seeing that he still didn't agree, he could only change the topic. He asked, "How many portions were sold today?"
Yuan Gang, who had finished moving the things, shouted, "Manager Gao."
Soon, a little old man ran over from the restaurant in front. He came over and bowed repeatedly. "Third Young Master, Boss!"
Yuan Gang looked at the sky that was approaching dusk and asked, "How many were sold today?"
Manager Gao laughed and said, "It's already equivalent to yesterday's amount before we closed. I haven't counted it yet, but I've already sold twelve barrels."
Yuan Gang raised his chin at Hu Yanwei, meaning that he heard everything.
Hu Yanwei was at a loss. He asked, "How many portions per barrel?" Normally, he wouldn't worry about this.
Manager Gao laughed and said, "Third Young Master, one portion is not a large amount. In fact, it's only a small cup. One barrel has about a thousand portions. Twelve barrels will definitely have tens of thousands of portions."
Hu Yanwei was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth. He began to calculate in his heart. Ten copper coins for one set. Ten thousand sets would be a hundred thousand copper coins, which was also ten gold coins. Excluding the capital, which was two gold coins at most, the net profit would probably be eight gold coins.
To be able to earn eight gold coins in a day was definitely not a small profit. It wouldn't be a small profit in any store. Looking at the growth rate, it would be easy for the net profit to break ten gold coins!
This was something he had never thought of at the beginning. At first, Yuan Gang said that when he got some soybeans to feed the horses in the border army, he accidentally made this snack. He wanted to use it to sell, but Hu Yanwei didn't think much of it.
Yuan Gang said that he was relying on Hu Yanwei's support and found a place for it. Hu Yanwei said that he wanted to split the profit in half with him, but Hu Yanwei said that he didn't need it. To put it bluntly, he didn't think that it could make any money. Even if it could make money, it wouldn't be enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.
However, Yuan Gang insisted on giving it to him. It was hard for him to refuse, so he agreed perfunctorily.
Who would have thought that a little snack could be sold to such a high price? The money earned was far more than he had expected!
Currently, he only had a random position in the army. He could receive a salary, and his family would also pay him a sum of money from the family's account.
It couldn't be helped. Being born into this kind of family, some social interaction was unavoidable. The people he interacted with were not ordinary people. Even if they were poor, they wouldn't look like it. His salary was not enough. After calculating his salary, his family would give him a thousand gold coins per year.
No more was possible. There were many people in the family, and he wasn't the only one to support. He had to live within his income.
Moreover, Huyan Wuhen wasn't the kind of person who liked to go around fishing for money. He was an upright person, and the Huyan family didn't have the foundation to squander money.
However, a thousand gold coins per year wasn't a small amount. For ordinary people, that was ten million copper coins. Many people couldn't earn that much money in their entire lives. As long as they didn't mess around, two or three gold coins per day was enough to treat their friends to a meal and drink in the capital. Even if they went to 'White Clouds' to have fun, spending a few gold coins at a time was already considered extravagant.
It was also impossible for them to soak in the 'White Clouds' every day. They still had official business to do, and they didn't need to spend money to eat and drink at home. Therefore, a thousand gold coins per year was enough. It was already the expenditure of the children of wealthy families.
In the end, they accidentally created an accident like the Tofu House. It had only been opened for half a month, and the business was getting better day by day.
The Tofu House became famous. When the brothers and sisters of the family gathered together a few days ago, they couldn't help but ask about the income of the Tofu House. In the end, they were all envious. They all said that their third brother had made a fortune and had his own income!
In order to make the accounts clear, Yuan Gang asked Huyan Wei to send the manager of the front desk to manage the accounts. At first, Huyan Wei didn't think much of it. Later, when he found out that there was a lot of income, coupled with Yuan Gang's repeated requests, he didn't stand on ceremony. This Manager Gao was his man.
He was thinking about his share of the money at the end of the month. However, he didn't get to be complacent for long before his father came looking for him. He asked him if he wanted to keep the income for himself or use the family's public account.
Huyan Wuhen's meaning was that he would keep ten percent of the money he earned from the Tofu House. The rest would go to the Huyan family's public account. Then, the family would continue to give him subsidies.
What could he do when his father said so? He could only agree!
Therefore, he came over today. It was rare for him to take the initiative to care about how much he earned. Although he could only take ten percent of the profit from the Tofu House, and the rest had to be handed over, the better the sales, the higher his share would be.
From his personal point of view, since Yuan Gang had done such a good business, he didn't want Yuan Gang to join the army again. However, his father's account was calculated in a different way. He couldn't go against it. He could only help his father persuade him.
After a brief calculation, Hu Yanwei pondered and muttered, "In that case, eight barrels a day should be enough."
Yuan Gang and Manager Gao looked at each other. They didn't know what he was mumbling about.
"Third Young Master, what do you mean by eight barrels?" Yuan Gang asked.
Huyan Wei chuckled and said, "Do you still remember the bowl that I sent yesterday? Yesterday, I went to find a steward in the palace and asked him to offer it to the nobles in the palace to taste. The response was good. They all said it was delicious. "
Clap! He clapped his hands and said happily, "It's done. He asked us to send a batch in the morning, noon, evening, and night for the nobles in the palace to enjoy at any time. We'll be paid a thousand gold coins a month!"
Yuan Gang and Manager Gao were stunned. At present, they could only sell ten gold coins a day. According to their current calculations, they could only sell three to four hundred gold coins a month. A thousand gold coins a month?
Yuan Gang asked, "Can the palace eat up so much?"
