Chapter Twenty-Seven: Preparing to Open a Shop
"Yes, I want to hire you to fry chicken for me!" Sun Siyuan spoke her mind. "I want to open a shop in the town, the town has a limited number of customers, and we know the total number of fried chickens sold every day, so instead of dividing two stalls to compete for customers, it is better to do this business together."
Wang Xiaosi could probably understand what Sun Siyuan meant, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. The couple is now selling fried chicken in the town, and they can earn ** taels of silver every month, but if they are hired by Sun Siyuan, they are afraid that they will not be able to open such a high salary. But if they don't accept it, if Sun Siyuan doesn't provide chickens, they won't be able to earn money.
"Little Fourth Brother, it's not that I'm not kind, you know the situation in the town. There are so many people who pay for it, and if they want to sell more, they can only reduce the price, but in this way, the gains will outweigh the losses. If the fourth brother can't make up his mind, go back and discuss it with the fourth sister-in-law. Sun Siyuan continued, "Don't hide it from the fourth brother, I have already bought the shop in the town, and it will open when it is cleaned up, if the fourth brother doesn't do it, we are ready to hire another person." β
After Wang Xiaosi left, Sun Siyuan checked the situation of the chicken coop and went home.
It's not that there really can't accommodate two fried chickens in the town, it's just that if Sun Siyuan's shop opens, it won't be easy for Wang Xiaosi and his wife to make money like they are now. has a relationship with the family, and Sun Siyuan is still willing to take care of them. Now that he is so persecuted, he is just saying ugly things in front of him.
The shop that Sun Siyuan plans to open is similar to Gu Da Niang's shop, which mainly sells fried chicken, and then sells some staple foods and other side dishes. In order to make a special feature, Sun Siyuan also specially ordered an oven, experimented several times, and made bread.
Bread appeared very early on the earth, but it was not until the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China that this food appeared. Xinxi Kingdom is very similar to ancient Huaxia, and there is no bread yet.
After Wang Xiaosi went back, he discussed with his daughter-in-law for a long time, and finally the two of them came to Sun Siyuan's house together.
"Sister Siyuan, Xiaosi and I thought about it, and I think your idea is okay, I don't know if you are still recruiting people in this store? My father-in-law, he is literate, I don't know if Siyuan's sister lacks a bookkeeper? And my mother-in-law, she is also a person who can endure hardship. Wang Xiaosi's wife said this to Sun Siyuan.
Sun Siyuan has a little black line in her heart, is this a family to give me? She hired the Shu family, and there was a reason for it, but this Wang Xiaosi's family also wanted to do this, so she was not happy.
"Fourth sister-in-law, I won't tell you the truth, the store is indeed ready to recruit more people, but my plan is to recruit a few young people like the fourth sister-in-law." When Mrs. Wang Xiaosi heard this, she was a little disappointed, and then asked, "Sister Siyuan, I don't know what the monthly money is for me and Xiaosi?" β
When Sun Siyuan heard this, she didn't understand what she meant. "Fourth sister-in-law, you and the fourth brother each have two taels of money per month, and another one or two people are recruited, what do you think?"
Mrs. Wang Xiaosi pouted in her heart, this month's money is half lower than their own business, but who let Sun Siyuan's family raise chickens in this town.
The most feared thing in the world is comparison, knowing that the monthly money for recruiting people is only one or two silver, Wang Xiaosi's wife feels a lot better.
"Fourth sister-in-law, if you think you can do it, we will sign a contract together at that time, no matter what the income of the store is, your monthly money will not be less, you will earn more, and you will be given a bonus!" Sun Siyuan said this again slowly.
Although she didn't know the word "bonus", Wang Xiaosi was not stupid, she understood what Sun Siyuan meant, she didn't say anything, and her eyes narrowed into a line happily.
After Wang Xiaosi's matter was decided, Sun Siyuan focused on opening a store. This storefront shop is on the corner of the street, and it was originally used to sell some ironware, but then a new one opened in the town, and this side gradually declined. In order to decorate the shop to the way she wanted, Sun Siyuan took the rabbit in a carriage, packed up her belongings and lived in a house in the town.
People in this world are very upright, and the tables they use are all square, and there are only a few specifications, Sun Siyuan thought, such a table is no problem in the inn, but it is a waste of space in her shop.
Uncle Mu booked more than a dozen long tables, as well as some independent small tables, there is no work these days, Uncle Mu said that they can be done in a few days with a few carpenters.
The recruitment notice has been posted, and Zhao Youqian wrote it himself, although it is not pretentious, but it also has its own momentum. When Sun Siyuan first saw it, she poked Zhao Youqian's back and asked, "Did you secretly practice calligraphy behind my back?" "Obviously, the calligraphy written with the brush before was as ugly as hers!
After walking back and forth in the shop a few times, Sun Siyuan found a big problem, lighting, although this shop has a gate, the back door is very small,
In this way, the light inside is not very good, which may affect the mood of the guests, and you can still light a light at night, but not during the day. Sun Siyuan thought that it was imperative to renovate the house. Fortunately, the storefronts and shops in the town are all blue brick houses, if they are adobe houses, you don't have to think about renovating them at all, tear them down and rebuild them!
Sun Siyuan didn't think about getting some glass windows, and after inquiring, she found that the development of glass at this stage was slow, and the transparency was low, the key was that it was very expensive, and it had always been used as an ornament. She comforted herself, papier-mΓ’chΓ©, antique, and cheap......
I went to the garment workshop and ordered a few clothes, the sizes were all set according to the approximate size of Wang Xiaosi and his wife, which was an ordinary Hanfu, but the sleeves were slightly adjusted, unlike the "wide sleeves" of Hanfu, which was convenient to take things, but the skirt and belt were the essence, and Sun Siyuan did not move.
These clothes are very ordinary, the garment workshop is very fast, that is, the color of the clothes is very fresh, so the master of the garment workshop asked for more money, Sun Siyuan was secretly annoyed in her heart, she knew that she had set some black and white maid outfits, and the style was still novel......
The houses in the town were only cleaned up with bedrooms, the kitchens were not used, and meals were eaten at inns and stalls. On this day, Sun Siyuan and Zhao Youqian had dinner together at the inn and ordered a thousand pieces of roast pork, Zhao Youqian was curious, and asked Sun Siyuan with a thousand pieces of knots: "Siyuan, what is this?" β
Sun Siyuan looked at Qianzhang Knot and replied casually: "Oh, this is Qianzhang, also called Baiye, yes...... Louveries, louvers? Sun Siyuan's eyes lit up, "It's a hundred leaves!" "Huh?" Zhao Youqian looked at Sun Siyuan inexplicably, not knowing what was going on.
What Sun Siyuan thought of was blinds. She had been thinking about how to get a window with good lighting, and now it was perfectly solved.
Mullioned windows and mullioned windows have long appeared in Xinxi Kingdom, and the blinds are actually developed based on mullioned windows, even if Sun Siyuan makes them, it will not attract too much attention.
