Chapter 168: Taking care of the dowry
Decided to practice boxing and kicking, Jinxiu restrained herself from sleeping lazily, got up early every day, followed Jiang Yan and Hong Caiyi in the courtyard to squat and step, press her legs and stretch her tendons, in the eyes of the girls, the young lady has worked hard, seeing that she still refuses to stop sweating like rain, that hard work is really impressive!
The two female guards took turns to teach the young lady, and they admired the young lady very much, and were also pleased with her unusual intelligence and agility - the young lady's skeleton and physique were very suitable for martial arts, and she was interested and willing to learn, so they taught it effortlessly: the young lady directly asked the young lady to take notes on paper, and then she memorized them all in less than the next day; The action demonstration can be performed three times at most, and the young lady will be able to understand it, and it will be exactly the same as theirs!
Xie Xiaoyu listened to Jinxiu advocate the benefits of martial arts, and was eager to try to let the girl teach, but she resolutely quit after only one day, and she really couldn't figure out that Jinxiu was a good and comfortable life as Mrs. Hou, but she had to find her own guilt.
In fact, Jinxiu only practiced for two hours every day, and when the morning sun rose, he finished his morning exercise, bathed and changed clothes, and walked to the flower hall to have breakfast.
I was also very unwilling in my heart, how comfortable it was to go back to the cage in the morning, and I sacrificed it in vain!
But there must be gains and losses, and if you work hard for a while, and occasionally show your fists and kicks in the future, it is very normal, and no one will doubt her.
Jinxiu had breakfast this day, and Xiangtao came to report that the carriage had been set, and Jinxiu nodded and said: "Then let's go, yesterday I told Miss Xie that I would go to the west street of the city today, and it is estimated that she has been waiting!" ”
took the peach and incense sticks and sat in a pony carriage with clear oil, Jiang Yan and Hong Caiyi followed, and went out to Xie's house to meet Xie Xiaoyu and go shopping together.
Jinxiu invited Xie Xiaoyu to go shopping together for a few days, in order to take care of the "dowry" that Luo Zhen bought for her, because the Xie family has been doing business in Chizhou City for hundreds of years, with a wide range of industries and countless industries, Xie Xiaoyu has been taught since she was a child, and she is well versed in the rules of the business field. I also want to ask clearly to see if there is anything that needs to be avoided.
The two dismounted in the west of the city and walked along the two main streets, feeling a little thirsty. I walked into the nearest Yaxuan teahouse to have a cup of tea.
Yaxuan Teahouse is the Xie family's industry.
Since the two of them came out to do market research, they didn't ask for a private room, but only picked a window position on the second floor of the public seat to sit, and the shopkeeper recognized the owner's lady. personally brought a pot of fragrant tea and four plates of small snacks just out of the cage, and said a few good words with a smiling face, Xie Xiaoyu sent him away and poured tea by himself.
Jinxiu picked up the chopsticks and tasted one of the four dim sums, and said with a smile: "I remember the last time I met you on East Street, and I also went to another teahouse in your house, the tea doesn't matter, it depends on the quality of the tea, but the dim sum, with all due respect: it's really not good!" Not refined enough. The taste is not sweet and fragrant enough, you have eaten my dim sum, if I put the Luo Ji teahouse over there a little tidy, just on the snacks and snacks slightly moved, you may be compared to your teahouse! ”
Xie Xiaoyu looked at the two-story teahouse with the "Mountain House Tea House" on the opposite side, and said with a smile: "It's better to go down, don't you also say: survival of the fittest, what can you do if your skills are not as good as others?" Your teahouse used to be too far worse than mine, the tea leaves are not good and the snacks are unpalatable, and you can only afford to tell the story three or five times a year. can also survive for more than ten years, until your family buys it and makes your dowry, even if you are well organized, the place is like that. If there are too many people, it will not be enough to sit, and why don't you score some by then? Take a few steps back and say, if your teahouse is too good and my family can't hold on, then just stop the teahouse and make a different kind of business, and there are five or six teahouses in the city. One less family doesn't hurt! ”
Jinxiu chuckled: "Then forget it, I'm actually not interested in running a teahouse, so I won't rob your business." ”
Xie Xiaoyu said: "Don't, fair competition, who will rob whom?" 'Shanju Tea House' has also existed on this street for more than ten or twenty years, if you don't do this, what else can you do? ”
Jinxiu said: "'Mountain House Tea House' is now my dowry, I have a little look at the account book, it has been very difficult to support over the years, the second floor of the three stores looks very wide, in fact, there are many dilapidated places that need to be repaired, look at your house These tables and chairs are ** new, the paint is bright, all the tables and chairs of the 'Mountain House Tea House' have been damaged by insects...... Since there is only a dilapidated shell that needs to be renovated from the inside out, I don't plan to continue to open the teahouse. ”
"So what are you going to do?"
"Isn't there still a yard behind the 'Mountain House Tea House'? There are more than a dozen rooms in one box, which can be used as a warehouse, and I want to add another floor to the second floor and open a 'Four Seasons Groceries' shop! ”
Xie Xiaoyu was stunned: "The entire three-story building came out just to sell groceries?" Sister, this is not worth it! ”
Jinxiu smiled: "When I open it, you will know whether it is worth it or not!" ”
"Four Seasons Groceries" is the most suitable store name she can think of, instead of "department store", is it okay?
In addition to the taboo of not using the word "department store", it is also because she can't be sure whether she can really put together a hundred goods to sell.
The problem of the source of goods, she can rely on what she knew in her previous life to exchange the local products from the north and the south, but there are no planes and trains in this dynasty, and the north-south transportation only relies on water and land, and the means of transportation are still the oldest sailboats and carriages, and the logistics are too slow.
Even so, the grocery store she wants to open is extraordinary, unique in Chizhou City - whose grocery store can be so atmospheric? Three floors are full of goods, and even if there are not hundreds, there will always be fifty or sixty! Wouldn't it be convenient and time-saving for people to come out and buy everything they need in one store? Who is impatient to wander around the streets, buying east and west?
If this grocery store is well opened in Chizhou City, it can also form a chain store and open all the way to the capital!
Next, Jinxiu and Xie Xiaoyu discussed and decided on the livelihood of the other three stores: the wine shop will still sell wine, the grain store will be cancelled and replaced with cosmetics (rouge gouache), and the satin cloth village is also a two-story building.
Of course, the style of the clothes is designed by Splendid herself.
The shops in the city are roughly arranged like this, and there are two Zhuangzi outside the city in the dowry that Luo Zhen has purchased, and Jinxiu has not had time to pay attention to it, but she knows that there is a wine shop in one of them called Xinghuazhuang, which is exactly what she wants, and she will always go over to see it one day!
