"Worship heaven and earth."

"Second, worship the high hall."

"Husband and wife worship each other."

As the high voice sounded, at Wang Chong's house, he and Guo Yue knelt down in front of the three parents and finally got married.

There are still many common things about marriage etiquette, which makes Wang Zhong very disgusted. However, due to the face of his family, he can only do it one by one with a wooden face.

This marriage, Wang Zhong gave half of the sheep as a dowry. In fact, this is still less than what the Guo family wants. If you follow the bride price of Wang Dahu's family, I'm afraid Wang Zhong will have little silver left over these years.

Fortunately, Guo Zhuang is not that unreasonable person.

Although he dislikes the poor conditions of Wang chongjia, he is also optimistic about Wang Xiaoyu. In terms of ability, he is definitely better than Wang renqiang, which is recognized by the villagers.

Because of this, after knowing that Guo yueluo liked Wang Zhong, he accepted his fate and didn't embarrass Wang Zhong much.

"Brother fish, I'm your wife now. My father asked you for so few betrothal gifts. You have to be nice to me in the future."

After the banquet, Wang Chong returned to his bridal chamber. While undressing for Wang Chong, Guo yueluo said coquettishly.

Wang Chong smiled, "you still call me brother Xiaoyu. It's time to change your mouth."

Guo Yue lowered her head and patted Wang Chong on the shoulder, "annoying, Xianggong."

"Don't worry, madam. I've saved some silver these years and I'm going to open a pub in the city."

"What about the livestock in the family?" Guo yueluo worried, "there are many pubs in the county and the competition is fierce."

"Rest assured." Wang Zhong patted Guo Yue and said, "I'm not going to raise these animals. It's like this all my life. I can't bear to keep our family in this poor gully all my life."

Hearing Wang Zhong's heroic words, Guo Yue felt a warm heart: "Xianggong, you still have ambition, but if you want to do it, you'd better ask my father. When he was young, he traveled extensively and had experience."

"Well, it's natural. It's getting late. Have a rest early."

"Alas..."

........

After getting married, Wang Zhong didn't prepare hot pot for the first time, but continued to raise a group of livestock.

A year later, Wang Zhong, who felt that he had saved enough, took Guo yueluo to the county, ready to find a suitable place to open a pub.

Because this county is close to the imperial capital, it is one of the four major cities outside the imperial capital. It is very prosperous, so there are countless pubs here.

There are too many big pubs, small pubs, flower pubs, storytelling pubs, inn pubs.

Fortunately, the county is prosperous enough to feed so many businesses, but because of the number, these pubs can only remain half dead.

Wang Chong and Guo yueluo went to their father-in-law first. Guo Zhuang was not happy when he heard that Wang Yibin opened a pub here.

"Xiaoyu, I know you're smart, but you're too young after all, not to mention other places. There are five pubs on my street. I've seen all those businesses. They are all average, and three of them are still losing money, so it's definitely not good."

"Dad, Xiaoyu said he had a way." Guo yueluo muttered beside her to defend her husband.

Wang Zhong said, "the pub I opened is different from theirs."

"Why is it different?"

"I'm going to make hot pot."

Over the years, Wang Zhong has long observed that the pubs here, no matter what type of pubs, are all the same. Just those few dishes and those two kinds of drinks are monotonous and worrying.

There is no hot pot here.

He has three advantages to succeed in opening a hot pot restaurant.

First, novelty.

Most people living in counties and cities have good conditions, and everyone is willing to try new things.

Second, the cost is low.

Cooking these taverns, you need to hire a chef. If the chef's skill is poor, it's useless no matter how good your location is. In addition, you also need to hire a waiter and a dishwasher. These people are paid every month.

For hot pot, the chef at least doesn't need it. Serving hot pot is much more leisurely than cooking. The workload of the waiter is greatly reduced, so only half of the waiter is needed, and the cost is reduced all at once.

Third, the price of hot pot is close to the people.

As we all know, the price of hot pot is close to the people. For example, the bottom of hot pot is chicken soup. You can match some vegetables casually. The price is cheaper. Having dinner with relatives and friends, drinking some wine, putting some vegetables and radishes in the soup are not only delicious, but also cheap. The most important thing is the atmosphere.

Especially in winter, absolutely.

With these three advantages, Wang Zhong believes that the business will succeed.

"It's called hot pot. It sounds good, but it's cooked and eaten at the same time. Will it be inconvenient?" Guozhuang is worried.

Wang Zhong had already thought it over, and said, "I told yueluo that I would prepare the ingredients of hot pot these days, and then bring them to our family to eat."

"OK, if it's delicious, I'll give you my full support."

After saying that, Wang Chong and Guo yueluo sat down for a while, and then set out to leave.

Back home, Wang Zhong began to focus on creating pots for boiling hot pot.

There are two choices of pot, one is iron pot, the other is casserole.

Finally, Wang Zhong chose casserole, because casserole is relatively durable and heat-resistant, iron pot is easy to damage, and the edge is very hot, which is prone to danger.

Then contacted a ceramic craftsman in the next village and customized a casserole the size of a washbasin.

The material for boiling hot pot is relatively simple. Wang Zhong chose charcoal. After cutting the wood into small pieces the size of his fingers, he put it in an iron basin and smoldered it. Finally, it turned into pieces of black charcoal.

Charcoal will not produce open fire combustion, and will become charcoal after reaching the ignition point. A pile of charcoal can maintain a high temperature for one to two hours.

Even in modern society, many barbecuers also use these charcoal to barbecue on the grill.

The basic materials for barbecue are all prepared, followed by pots and pans.

Unlike other pubs, the pots and pans of this table are big and that table is small. They are not unified and look very irregular.

What he requires is exactly the same, and each bowl is engraved with four words: Xiaoyu hot pot.

In business, if you want to be big, you have to make a brand. Otherwise, after a year and a half, people will learn from him to make hot pot, and that's bullshit.

And the brand, let him have recognition, at least no matter how long time passes, when someone mentions hot pot, his mind immediately remembers: Xiaoyu hot pot. Thank you, good pig. No one wants to reward 1000. Thank you for my quiet years and the reward of subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger. Thank you
