He was originally worried about how to achieve results and prove his ability.
He didn't expect that his sister Mengyue would bring him such a big surprise.
In fact, before he came to Wuning County, some elders questioned his ability, saying that he was not capable of being the young master and that the family could support him unconditionally.
This made his father furious, as he knew that some elders in the clan were close to the second and third sons.
But his father couldn't stop it forcefully, because his father knew that the elders were also concerned about the development of the family and wanted to find an heir who could truly lead the family to go further.
The only effective way now is for him to show his strength and convince others.
He then issued a military order, guaranteeing that within one month, the Fumanlou in Anqing Prefecture would turn losses into profits.
You should know that there are seven counties in the entire Qingshan Prefecture, and there is a Fumanlou in each county, but only Lanlong County can make a slight profit, Mengchuan County and Gugang County can maintain a balance between income and expenditure, and the Fumanlou in the remaining four counties are all losing money.
But the ancestor of the Qian family has set a rule that as long as the Qian family has the strength, a Fumanlou restaurant must be opened in every county in Da Zhou.
After several generations of hard work, the Qian family made a lot of money by running a restaurant.
In addition to running a restaurant, the Qian family's business covers a wide range, firmly sitting in the first position among the four imperial merchants.
But no matter how much money you have, if you keep paying it out, you won't be able to pay it back after a long time.
So an elder of the clan suggested closing the unprofitable Fumanlou in Qingshan Prefecture. His father wanted the family to grow and prosper, but he also didn't want to go against the ancestral teachings.
At this difficult moment, he took the initiative to propose to take over the Fumanlou in Qingshan Prefecture and make it profitable within a day. If he succeeds, he will resign as the young master and hand over the business to someone with outstanding abilities.
When he said this, not only did his parents get shocked, but even the elders of the clan couldn't believe it. They asked him several times, and got the same answer every time, until they were sure that he was not lying.
The elders of the clan saw that he was the only legitimate son of the head of the family. If it weren't for his health problems, he would have taken over part of the family business long ago.
He did not refute what he said, because they also wanted to see whether he was capable of being the young master and whether he could lead the family to prosperity in the future.
So he came to Wuning County with a mission.
He was originally worried about how to revive the Sijia Fumanlou, which had been losing money.
Now that we have tofu as our trump card, we no longer have to worry.
He believed that any Fu Man Lou restaurant would be able to attract customers as long as it served dishes made with tofu.
In other words, Qian Dongjie's proposal of a 50-50 split was also based on the premise of not losing money.
According to his investigation, something as inexpensive and good quality as tofu can be made into a dish and sold in restaurants, or tofu can be sold alone.
In this way, people who cannot afford tofu dishes in restaurants can buy a piece of tofu and make it themselves at home. In this way, the restaurant will have an additional expense from selling tofu.
If he did this, some people in the clan might gossip about him, asking how a restaurant could sell only tofu.
Of course not. Tofu is also a vegetable and can be sold for money. Moreover, once it is produced, the quantity will not be small. Fumanlou in Qingshan Prefecture is also counting on tofu to make a comeback.
Li Mengyue didn't know how much help she would be to Qian Dongjie after writing down the tofu recipe for him.
She signed the contract, picked it up, folded it, put it in her sleeve, actually placed it in the space, stood up and prepared to leave.
Qian Dongjie no longer worried about how to make a profit for Fumanlou. He just had to hand it over to the housekeeper and find some servants who had signed death contracts, and then he could make tofu.
I believe that it won’t be long before the whole Qingshan Prefecture will know about tofu, and even poor families will be able to buy a piece to try.
But when he was thinking about the profit of Fumanlou, he immediately panicked when he saw Li Mengyue was about to leave.
"Sister Mengyue, you have to leave."
"Well, put the soybeans here first."
