Chapter Twenty-Six: The Shop
Sitting in a small sedan chair, Zhou Muqing walked leisurely towards Mrs. Xing's courtyard. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yesterday was still snowy. Today it is a sunny day.
The snow on the eaves melted, ticking, and flowed outward. From a distance, it looks like a beaded curtain made of crystal. It looks beautiful, but with a little bit of crystal clarity, it makes people feel like they are in a fairy tale world.
Because of the heavy snow, Jia's mother had already said that except for the fifteenth day of the new year, let me not go to ask for peace again. Zhou Muqing still has to go to Mrs. Xing today.
Although because of winter, I didn't go to Mrs. Xing every day to say goodbye. Zhou Muqing will still go for a day or two!
What's more, what I said to Aunt Zhao yesterday, I really planned to take Mrs. Xing to do it together.
Although I didn't discuss it with Mrs. Xing. But with Mrs. Xing's stingy and money-loving character. I don't think I will refuse!
The reason why I want to find Mrs. Xing to do business with me is that in addition to wanting to borrow the power of Rongguo Mansion, I also want to get closer to Mrs. Xing and you. If you have anything to do, you still need the words of your elders to count.
It is said that between people, the best relationship is that everyone has the same interests. It is impossible for him to go to Mrs. Wang, and with Aunt Zhao in the second room, he can say something in front of Jia Zheng, which is enough!
As for the more profitable cake business, it is even more suitable to ask Mrs. Xing to do it together!
Wang Shanbao's house was at the gate of the courtyard, and she saw Zhou Muqing's sedan chair coming from afar, and she was also very used to it.
In the past, it was rare for Mrs. Dafang Xing to come to greet her. But from the Zhou family sisters and brothers to this Rongguo Mansion, they often come over.
Even Mrs. Xing's nominal daughter, Yingchun, often comes over. Even Jia Yu looked at the faces of the two girls, and there were always a few days a month when they rested in Mrs. Xing's courtyard.
Wang Shanbao's family greeted him from afar, "It only snowed so much yesterday, Miss Qing should rest more today, why did she come here so early!"
Zhou Muqing knew that this was just a polite remark. didn't answer Wang Shanbao's words, but just opened his mouth to ask her.
"Sister Wang is polite, but I don't know if my wife is up?"
Wang Shanbao's family nodded again and again. Stretched out his hand to help Zhou Mu Qing get out of the sedan chair and slowly walked towards Mrs. Xing's courtyard.
Mrs. Xing's courtyard is also very exquisitely repaired. It should be said that the entire East Cross Courtyard is very exquisitely repaired.
When Zhou Muqing first arrived half a month ago, Mrs. Xing's courtyard was still gloomy and not angry. It's only been half a month, but this place has changed.
The maids and ladies in the courtyard all saluted Zhou Muqing, and their eyes were full of gratitude. Miss Qing often came to see Mrs. Xing, but the eldest lady's temper softened a little, and those of them who were doing things below didn't have to tremble anymore, and they were afraid that they would deduct their monthly money!
Mrs. Xing was eating breakfast, and there was so much snow outside, she didn't expect Zhou Muqing to come over.
It was also not polite, but in just half a month, Mrs. Xing got used to it, and Zhou Muqing came to accompany her to eat.
"Sister Qing is here, haven't you eaten yet, it's so early. Sit down and use a little bit with me!"
Zhou Muqing, looking at Mrs. Xing's appearance, is also very satisfied with her transformation in the past half a month.
Compared with Mrs. Wang, who is in her 40s, Mrs. Xing, who is less than 40 years old, is indeed much younger and more beautiful. It's just that I don't know why, but Mrs. Xing has always dressed herself up in an old-fashioned manner.
And now Mrs. Xing's dress is indeed much younger. I saw that Mrs. Xing was wearing a lotus silk pipa jacket with a skirt of flowers, and a bun of auspicious clouds was combed on her head, except for some small lilacs, she just inserted a ruby with tassels on her head.
The whole person looks a few years younger than usual, as if he is just in his early 30s.
Wait until after the two of you have finished breakfast. Daughter-in-law, only then did she ask, "What are you doing here with such a big snow?" It's not like you're going to die of heartache when you're freezing!"
Zhou Muqing was also obedient, so Mrs. Xing asked Mrs. Xing to call everyone in the house out before she spoke.
"Big lady, I still remember, I sent someone to bring the cake?" Mrs. Xing nodded, the small pastry called the cake, which was fluffy and delicious, was also very tempting.
Seeing that Mrs. Xing nodded, Zhou Muqing spoke again.
"Yesterday, Aunt Zhao came to me and said that she wanted to partner with me in the cake business. Zhou Muqing didn't sell it, and directly said his plan.
"I thought to myself, this cake is also very delicious. If you open a shop, the TV can also sell a lot of silver taels?"
"Rather than cheapen outsiders, I'd rather be with the eldest lady. After all, it's our family who make money, big wife, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Xing was also very moved, and she came out of a small family, so embarrassed in this Rongguo Mansion. Isn't it because of the fact that there are fewer of your own dowries. Don't you have any silver?
This cake should also make a lot of money, and such a delicious thing must be sold!
It's just that I'm still a little worried, "It's not easy to open a shop, Sister Qing, do you have any regulations?"
Zhou Muqing slowly took a sip of tea and slowly said what he was going to do.
"The eldest lady can use her own dowry shop to do this business, or she can let someone she trust manage this shop as my shopkeeper, and I will only be responsible for making cakes every day. The eldest lady will account for 70 percent of the silver taels, and I will take 30 percent. ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Xing almost agreed, but she couldn't let go of the face of her elders and was cheap to her juniors. Zhou Muqing can do this business by himself, so why should he pull himself?
Mrs. Xing raised her question.
Zhou Muqing thought about it early in the morning, and he was not afraid of Mrs. Xing asking too much.
"The two of us are in partnership, and we should have split the account in five or five years. But the shop is for the eldest wife, so this one will have to be taken more. When the business grows bigger, you have to talk about power, in the name of the eldest lady of Rongguofu, ordinary people in the shop don't dare to make trouble. Here's another layer to get. ”
Listening to Zhou Muqing's clear words, Mrs. Xing must be sure in her heart, and she should agree. took out another 200 taels of silver, which was regarded as the investment of the two of them to do business together.
After Zhou Muqinghe and Mrs. Xing finished discussing, they agreed on the management of the shop, how to decorate, how to sell the cake, and how much to buy.
The two of them agreed like this, but Wang Shanbao's family was very happy.
After following Mrs. Xing to Rongguo Mansion for so many years, her family is finally coming to work!
You really haven't wasted yourself for so many years of loyal service to Mrs. Xing.
