Shen He couldn't have heard better, and the two began to discuss how to operate together. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Shen He explained the business method he just thought of to Cheng Gongzi in detail.
After hearing this, Cheng Gongzi thought for a moment and said: "The idea of letting guests choose clothes styles while drinking tea and soup is okay." It's just that it still seems to be a bit single, one is that there are too many famous stores in the capital, and the other is that there will be some differences between the picture scroll and the real clothing style. ”
"Besides, we only recommend it to customers in the form of sales, and the guests will not be too impressed by the tea soup or the style of clothes."
"Is there a way to make our customers more impressed?"
Now Cheng Gongzi seems to have classified Shen He as his own, and even the store is replaced by "our store", in fact, not only Shen He has a good impression of him, but he also knows Shen He at first sight.
He has been opening shops with his father since he was young, and although he is not very old, he has already developed a pair of discerning eyes when he deals with all kinds of people every day.
As soon as Shen He entered the store today, from Shen He's clothes to his speech and demeanor, he felt that this woman was worth befriending!
Now, both of them are wondering, how can they make the people who enter the store impress this store and make it unique among the stores in the capital?
The two of them thought for a long time and had no clue, Shen He said: "Cheng Gongzi, it seems that neither of us has a good way in a short time, but your tea can't wait that long, it's better to store some of the tea leaves first, and then make plans after the store opens in a few days."
Cheng Gongzi said: "I have stored the tea in a small warehouse where I live, but the storage time should not be too long."
Shen He said: "Cheng Gongzi, I have heard of several good ways to store tea outside the territory, I wonder if I can try it?" ”
Cheng Gongzi said: "I have been running a tea shop with my father for many years, and I have never heard of a better storage method. ”
Shen He said: "I also heard people mention it when I was outside the territory."
It turned out that in her previous life, Shen He had been wandering around, especially after the war, she fled with the fleeing crowd to the Western Regions, where she worked in a tea merchant's shop and found that the method of storing tea there was somewhat different from that in the Central Plains.
In general, no matter what kind of tea leaves are in the capital, they are always buried in lime in tea bottles to ensure that the tea leaves do not deteriorate.
Outside the territory, different tea varieties are stored differently.
For example, Longjing, Da Hong Pao and other precious teas, generally they will choose a closed ceramic jar, wrapped in rice paper, placed around the altar, embedded in the middle of a lime bag, and then put a tea bag on it, after filling the altar, wrap it tightly with cotton.
For some high mountain tea, oolong tea, Baochong tea, Longjing tea, Biluochun, white needle silverquill, etc., pick a tea pot with good sealing, seal the tea and store it in the ice cellar for refrigeration, and store it at low temperature for fresh storage.
Like Wuyi rock tea, Tieguanyin, Pu'er and other aged teas, when storing, the water of the tea should be roasted and dried a little, and it is also stored in clay pots and porcelain jars, but the lid is not covered, and the mouth is covered with a cloth to ventilate it, because all kinds of Pu'er tea belong to post-fermentation, and they need to be fermented by the moisture in the air, and they are naturally aged.
Shen He told Cheng Gongzi different tea storage methods one by one, Cheng Gongzi nodded again and again after listening, he and his father because of the perennial tea business, have also studied what method to better store tea, and can keep the tea fragrance from being lost, although there have been different attempts, but the effect is not ideal.
Shen He said that he and his father had tried it a few times, but they didn't grasp the specific details, so now after listening to Shen He's detailed description, he felt that he had benefited a lot and decided to go back and give it a try.
Since the two decided to open the store together, they discussed the details of the transfer with the owner.
The shopkeeper said: "It turns out that the rent of this shop for a year is eighty taels of silver, but now that the price of land in the capital has risen, I won't ask for more for the two of you, and it has risen to one hundred and twenty taels of silver." ”
When Shen He heard this, he was taken aback, this price is not low.
The same is true for that Cheng Gongzi, he and Shen He looked at each other for a while, and then said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, both of us really want to rent the shop, and now the store has not opened yet, I don't know what the business will be, this price is a little too high."
Shen He also said: "Yes, the shopkeeper, can it be cheaper?" ”
The shopkeeper still insisted at first, but then he couldn't bear the two of them, so he relieved himself and said: "Okay, for the sake of Su Houye's face, I will give you two a hundred taels a year, and it can't be less."
Shen He and Cheng Gongzi got together and summed it up, the price was reasonable, although it was a little higher than usual, but who made them rent in a hurry?
In this way, the three of them immediately agreed to pay the silver taels tomorrow, and hand over the land deeds, lease documents and other matters.
Walking out of the store, Shen He said goodbye to Cheng Gongzi, and suddenly remembered that the two didn't know each other's names.
Just wanted to catch up with him and ask him clearly, but he saw a dark figure coming towards him, and Shen He saw that Lu Yu, who had not been seen for a long time.
Lu Yu looked at Shen He with his usual chuckle on the corner of his mouth, and Shen He had no choice but to step forward and say, "Lord Lu, what a coincidence!" ”
Lu Yu smiled again, and Shen He realized that every time she saw Lu Yu, she always seemed to say this, but she didn't know what else to say?
Maybe in her heart, she is still a little resistant to Lu Yu, but is it really a coincidence every time she sees him? She didn't think about it, and she didn't want to think about it deeply.
At this time, Lu Yu looked at her, only to feel that she hadn't seen her for a few days, this girl's face had become smaller and whiter, her chin was sharper, and even her eyes were much bigger than before, but her eyes were still the same as before, not like the shyness and simplicity of ordinary women, but full of confused looks, which was a little incomprehensible.
Mainly because recently, Shen He has been running around for the sake of the store, and she has to stay up late at night to design clothes, so she is a little thinner than before, plus she insists on applying her face with a whitening secret recipe every day, of course, her complexion looks more white and delicate.
Now, Shen He looked at Lu Yu as if he was looking at her seriously, and he couldn't help but feel a little unaccustomed to it, and his eyes slightly staggered his gaze.
Lu Yu also realized that it was inappropriate to look at a woman in public like this, so he withdrew his gaze and said, "Miss Shen, last time I said goodbye to Fengle Building, I haven't seen you for a few days, I don't know how Miss Shen's shop is going?" ”
Shen He's expression darkened after hearing this, and he said, "Master Su Xiaohou helped find a place, but some specific matters have not yet been decided."
After hearing this, Lu Yu said, "Oh? Looking at the girl's expression, it seems that there are some difficult things to understand, so it is better to say it and listen to it."
Shen He was a little surprised when she heard this, Lu Yuke had never been so enthusiastic, couldn't it be that there was some trick waiting for her?
Lu Yu saw that she just looked at him with her eyes and didn't speak, so he said: "There is a teahouse in front, why don't you invite the girl to have a cup of tea and soup and sit down?" (To be continued.) )
