Chapter 42: Business

Coming back from Guancheng, after half a year of stable life, at the end of November, the Xiao family moved back to the Chu family from the rented house, she refused to lose at all, and lived until the last day of November, and arrived at the Chu family in the evening, more things than before she went, and it took two days to pack up.

Chu Yiyao was busy with things in the shop, waiting for the second brother to come back from Datong at the end of November, Heichuan was sold out, and several restaurants sent people to ask, but the ones planted last year could not be picked yet.

"Yiyao, there is also a seasoning shop in Nantang Market, which was just opened two days ago." The second master came in, handed over the account book to Chu Yiyao, and said that he saw it when he passed by the Nantang market this morning.

"I know, it was opened by the Qi family." Chu Yiyao looked through it, and if it sells well and makes money, naturally someone will follow along, and sooner or later someone will plant it in Jinling, she took the lead, and in the future, she can only do better than others in the recipe, and it is still good in terms of the current situation, even if the Heichuan in the shop is sold out, those restaurants are still waiting for their own home, and they did not go to other houses.

"Uncle, I heard my aunt say that you want to send your cousin back to Huizhou?" Chu Yiyao put down the account book and looked up at the second master, a few days ago, when she went to the pen's house, the second aunt mentioned that the second uncle wanted to send Xing Ziyu to Huizhou, and at the beginning of the year, her grandmother took her two cousins and Ziluo's cousin back together, leaving Xing Zishu and Xing Ziyu to accompany her in Jinling, in fact, in order to be able to set this marriage in Jinling in the future.

"Your cousin will be fifteen in the New Year, go back and set a family business, sixteen is about the same, and everyone in the village and her age will get married now." The second master of the sentence is such a daughter, and her marriage is also planned after thinking a lot.

"You and your aunt are both in Jinling, how can you send your cousin back and find a family in Jinling." Chu Yiyao got up and put the account book in the cabinet, "If you send it back, although my grandmother will take care of it, it will definitely not have the peace of mind that you are here." โ€

"It's not the right door." The second master of the punishment said in a half-loud voice, probably because he was afraid of the pomp and circumstance of those big families.

"Who said the door is not the right one." Chu Yiyao chuckled, "Uncle, you are the manager of these shops, why don't you say it, it's better to find a family for your cousin than to go back to Huizhou." โ€

The second master didn't expect Chu Yiyao to give advice on his daughter's marriage, and he didn't know what to say for a while, Chu Yiyao saw his hesitation, "Uncle, don't look at the rich place of Jinling and feel unworthy, everyone is the same, what's wrong with you coming from Huizhou, my mother also came from the countryside of Huizhou, I knew a few words at that time, and I didn't accompany my father to Jinling." โ€

"How can there be a few people like your mother." The second master smiled, "At that time, those people of the same age in the village were no one as good as your mother, when she was three years old, a monk who passed by the family begging for water, glanced at your mother, and said that she would definitely leave the village in the future, and then met your father and followed her to Jinling." โ€

Chu Yiyao laughed, "Second uncle, you also said so, then my cousin will have a good time here, it's good for you to go back to see your grandmother, come back to Jinling at the beginning of the year." โ€

Second Master Xing nodded, "I'll let them go back early, and they can come back after the New Year." โ€

As he spoke, Bao Sheng walked in, "Miss, it's almost time." โ€

"Second uncle, I'll leave the rest to you, I'll go out, and I won't be here for two days." Chu Yiyao remembered that she still had an appointment with others, so she took Baosheng into the carriage and went to Wangjiang Tower.

When Chu Yiyao entered the box, Shen Shixuan was already there, holding a cup of tea in his hand, a teapot and a few plates of desserts on the table, seeing Chu Yiyao come in, his eyes fell on her from the window, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Miss Chu." Shen Shixuan stood up and pulled a chair for her, "I ordered a few pastries, what else does Miss Chu like to eat?" โ€

Chu Yiyao's expression paused slightly, shook his head, took the box from Baosheng's hand, and pushed it in front of Shen Shixuan, "This is the dividend that Heichuan sold you in the shop this year." โ€

Shen Shixuan opened the box, and inside were five silver ingots, which were two hundred and fifty taels of silver, and a list was attached, on which was written the total amount of Heichuan and how much it sold and how much it earned.

"It's a good deal." Shen Shixuan accepted it unceremoniously, Heichuan alone can have more than 1,000 taels of income a year, and all the profits of this shop can be 2,000 taels a year, the cost is so low, and he can make a lot of money.

"Next year will definitely be more than this year." Chu Yiyao picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, as long as she followed the recipe, she would be twice as much money next year as this year, and when the time came, the Heichuan she planted could be harvested, and this could be sent to other cities.

"I don't know if Miss Chu is interested in doing other business." Shen Shixuan brought a box from behind him, opened it, and inside was a wooden carving, and the superior carver carved the eagle with its wings vivid, as if it was about to fly up immediately.

Chu Yiyao immediately thought of one of the three uniques of Guancheng that Shen Shixuan had said when he was in Guancheng, and a touch of surprise flashed in his eyes, "This is what the master did?" โ€

"I stayed in Guancheng for a few more days, and I found a master after inquiring." There are not many masters like Guan Cheng, Shen Shixuan inquired in many ways to find one, such masters have no wives and no children, they often find a master with good qualifications and high character to inherit this craft according to their master's wishes.

Some masters have not been able to find a favorite apprentice in their lives, and this craft will be lost in the hands of this master, and over time, there will be fewer and fewer people in the old craft of the Guancheng Society.

"Then the master is willing to cooperate with you and carve for you?" Chu Yiyao looked at the one on the table, it should be from the hand of the master, and Jinling also has good carvings, but they are not so expressive.

"The master refuses to sell, but the master accepts apprentices." Shen Shixuan took the sculpture back, and the guy outside brought some food, "What I need is this craft, the master is old, and he doesn't want to use this to trade." โ€

"Didn't Shen Gongzi find many people for him to choose?" If you can really learn this craft, then you will naturally have money to make, but the conditions for choosing an apprentice are so harsh.

"I worship that old master as a teacher and learn this craft." When Chu Yiyao heard this, he was stunned, he learned this from his teacher?

"Miss Chu doesn't believe it?" Shen Shixuan looked at the surprise on her face, took out another box, took out a small hollow lampshade from it and put it in front of Chu Yiyao, "After I came back, I went to Guancheng again, and I only returned to Jinling last month." โ€

This lampshade is set on the candlestick, the carvings around it are very beautiful, and the subtleties are even carved into three-dimensional petals, and there is a gap in the middle.

"Do you like it?" Shen Shixuan's voice sounded, Chu Yiyao blushed slightly, and was a little embarrassed, "It's beautiful, Shen Gongzi learned this from his teacher, and Yiyao admires it." โ€

"Then this business, Miss Chu is interested in cooperating?" A smile tugged at the corner of Shen Shixuan's mouth, and it was also interesting to look at the surprised expression on her face two or three times in a row.

"Well, what can I do to help you?" At the beginning, Chu Yiyao would consider cooperating with him entirely because he was also present and wanted to have some contact with the people of the Shen family, and he didn't need to share this thing with him at all.

"Doing business naturally requires both men and women of all ages, Miss Chu often walks around, you should know more about what women like, and it is perfect to work together." Shen Shixuan is right, many things such as jewelry objects are spent by women, if you want to do what she likes, she will naturally find a woman who knows a lot about these things to work with.

"But this thing is exquisite, if you want to carve a lot, it is necessary for more people to do it, as far as I know, after this craft has been passed on to you, you can't pass it on to others at will." The reason why this old craft of Guancheng is looking for people with good moral character is to take this into account, and the oath made when apprenticing must be obeyed to the end, which is a respect for the master and this craft, and there is often such a saying in these crafts, and those who are not right in their hearts cannot make the best things.

"There are also many good carving masters in Jinling, and the things are divided into good and bad, and the price is high and low." As soon as Shen Shixuan reminded Chu Yiyao, he understood, this is the same as using Heichuan as a signboard in her shop, and many of the other seasonings are actually the same as other shops, but with this signboard, many people often think that the one in her shop will be a little better than others, and Chu Yiyao will raise the price a little more, and they all think it is reasonable.

Now Shen Shixuan is going to learn it by himself and carve that thing as a signboard.

"Can the master agree?"

"In the future, I will take the old master to Jinling and support him for the rest of his life." This is one of the conditions he reached with the old master, Shen Shixuan looked at her and lowered her eyebrows and thought about something, picked up the cup and drank the tea leisurely, with a touch of gentleness on her face, she had no reason to refuse such a business.

"Work together, Shen Gongzi can have requirements." Half a sound, Chu Yiyao spoke, listening to it like this, the loss has nothing to do with her, she earns a dividend, she doesn't seem to lose at all, at most she spends some effort to understand the woman's preferences, but this is good for her, she also has a rouge shop.

"Yes, if you need to buy a new shop, you have to come forward by Miss Chu, and nominally it is also under Miss Chu, and we can make another contract in private." He learned these things from the Shen family and from the old man Shen, including this business, at least in the past few years, he couldn't let them know.

Chu Yiyao didn't mind opening an extra shop, she wanted to come to the Shen family as a big family, Shen Shixuan, as the eldest son of the second room, couldn't come to everything according to her own heart, after thinking about it for a while, she nodded, "Yes." โ€

"Miss Chu only needs to manage the shop, I will do this carving, including the workers' affairs, and this is divided, you and I will divide it fifty-fifty, and you and I will each pay a thousand taels of silver." Shen Shixuan directly put the two silver tickets on the table, "Miss Chu, what do you think?" โ€

Chu Yiyao looked at him with this hand, it didn't seem like a joke, but the matter of cooperating with himself was always so strange, they didn't know it if they wanted to say it, he wanted to hide it from outsiders, and he should find someone who could be trusted.

"Shen Gongzi believes in Yiyao so much, and Yiyao is deeply honored." It doesn't cost so much silver, even if you find the best shop, two thousand taels of silver are enough to open a restaurant.

"As Miss Chu said, businessman, this trust is still needed, since Miss Chu can divide me into two percent, I am naturally willing to continue to cooperate with Miss Chu." Shen Shixuan said very seriously, Chu Yiyao remembered what he deliberately said in Datong, and a smile rose at the corner of her mouth, she was not a twisted person, since she agreed to cooperate, she understood what she should ask.

Shen Shixuan really came prepared, and after the negotiation was completed, he directly took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, lest he turn his back Chu Yiyao changed his words, and quickly wrote down a few contracts, Chu Yiyao felt that there was no problem after looking at it, and took out the ink and pressed the handprint, it was too late to regret it.

"I'm going to have a lot of trouble with Miss Chu in the future." Holding the contract signed by Chu Yiyao and pressing the handprint, Shen Shixuan was still in a good mood and asked her, Chu Yiyao looked at the unstoppable sharpness on his face, just like the eagle in the box behind him, he could spread his wings and fly high at any time...
