Chapter 359: The Dowry Shop
"My sister always bothered you, and I brought you to see the goods again"
"Aren't you also helping the prince? What Yun'er didn't say, you don't have to think too much. ”
"Sister, my sister has another thing to tell you. On the day you came back, in addition to the gift of six boxes for your sister, you also gave more than a dozen small boxes of food, and later my sister realized that those small foods should be in your share. The prince said, these things are divided into three parts, one for my sister, one for you, and one for your mother, and I took out so much from your share and gave it to my sister, as well as snacks for everyone to quench their thirst, and ate and took it, my sister was too unlucky......"
"You think too much, give it to you and you use it. In the capital, Yun'er only has three relatives: uncle, uncle and Ruiqian's brother, you have the commander, Concubine Tong, your aunt, your cousin, your nurse, your brother, as well as the prince's cousin, sister and those brothers and nephews and their Fujin, the number of girls and grandmothers in your courtyard is also more than Yun'er, and the favors are very heavy. After Yun'er entered the mansion, you treated Yun'er like your mother, and Yun'er was very grateful to you. In fact, Yun'er knows what you think, don't worry about anything, Yun'er's child is your child! ”
"Sister......" Fu Jin choked up.
Mama Zheng hurriedly came to interrupt: "Fujin, Mama Dong said to the slave maid that the noodle restaurant run by her eldest son Dong Da is not very good, and the hand-pulled noodles that Mrs. Chen sent to you yesterday are very delicious, why don't you let Dong Da and Mrs. Chen learn?" ”
Fu Jin hurriedly made his eyes and didn't let Mama Zheng go down.
Yun'er asked Fujin: "What Mama Zheng said about Dong Da seems to be running your dowry shop, right?" Then let Dong Dalai come to the house and learn a few new ways to make exotic noodles with Yun'er's mother? ”
"Don't price, don't price, my sister's dowry shop is a personal property, and Mrs. Chen is trying to make snacks for future restaurants and restaurants, how can I mix my sister's shop with the prince's affairs?"
"There is a franchise store management method in the foreign land, Party A provides technology to Party B, Party B pays the franchise fee to Party A, and Party B operates it by itself, which is a joint business, and no one owes anyone. In this way, Yun'er's mother provides technology for your dowry shop, and Mama Dong's son pays the franchise fee to the prince, isn't this a two-way benefit? ”
Mama Zheng said: "This method is good, Dong Da is too honest, what was it like when Fujin handed over the shop to him, and what is it now, it hasn't grown at all, it's just that the number of noodles is too small, if there are a few more, it seems to be more popular." ”
Yun'er said: "Dong Daken learns, and my mother can teach him." If Dong Da's shop becomes a franchise store, he will be half of the palace. Isn't he paying the franchise fee to help the prince? ”
"How embarrassing is that? Mrs. Chen is to help the prince, to earn money for the treasury and cultivate talents, and finally tried it, and the formula was also sacrificed......"
"Fujin, you have too many concerns. Yun'er's mother is helping the prince, but the snacks she tried won't leave anything left because she taught Dong Da, right? Didn't you teach it to other chefs in the same way? The master teaches the disciples, and teaching one is teaching, and ten is also teaching. Dong Da also has a share of the emperor's franchise fee, right? Isn't that also a contribution to the country? Yun'er knows that you are afraid that people will say that the prince's family is also involved in business, so she will classify you as an illegal businessman. In fact, which of the other princes' family members is not running a dowry shop? Besides, the prince is in business to send money to the treasury, and the nature is different. However, you still discuss with the prince and see what the prince means."
"Sister thank my sister for her kindness, you can't change someone. Dong Da and his younger brother Dong Kui are not very good at management, and their sister doesn't count on them anymore, anyway, their sister's monthly routine can't be used and is inexhaustible, so it is equivalent to giving it to their brothers. ”
"It's better that way, it doesn't matter to you how they run it. When the time comes, write their names when they pay the franchise fee, and as for whether they will give you filial piety in the future, it is their mind. ”
"Sister, this is a happy sister, my sister is convinced. It seems that there is a different person after going out for a year, and there are a lot of adults. My sister is not afraid of her own trouble, but she is afraid of causing trouble to the prince. There are already people who are eyeing the prince and looking for the prince's handle. When the prince came back, his sister discussed with him, and my sister also hoped that Mama Dong's two sons could live a good life. Sister, you can really think about it. ”
"What's this, Yun'er's mother is to help the prince, you are the prince's wife, and you should receive some benefits. By the way, what is Mama Dong's second son doing? ”
"Mama Dong's second son is called Dong Kui, and he shows his sister a grocery store. He is also not very good at business, but he can make a living. ”
"Then it's also alive, can't you be a consignment store? Just like Nalan Donggui, he sells the goods he buys as he wants, and the ones he sells to our house are just like the Jade Dragon Cloth Village run by Yun'er's cousin, and only some of the goods are the prince's. ”
"Don't pay for it, my sister doesn't expect it to pay."
"No, Yun'er figured out that they sold on behalf of Guò, on the one hand, they helped the prince sell goods, on the other hand, they themselves also had some income, and your shop didn't write your name, it was already handed over to Mama Dong's son, and it was sold in her son's name. What other concerns do you and Yun'er have? You always think that my father took the antiques in exchange for the money to buy the goods. Take a step back and think, if those few antiques are still in our Qing Dynasty, how much can they be worth? If the Rugong kiln porcelain of the Song Dynasty was dropped when Yun'er was not sober a few years ago, then it fell, can it still be exchanged for money? There are also those two small Shang Yi, which are already thin, and they will oxidize in a few hundred years. Even if they are valuable and passed down from generation to generation, who can guarantee that the descendants of our Chen family will not be ruined in the future? It's like my aunt's nephew, who stole the antiques from my aunt's hand and sold them, and then sent the silver to Bada Hutong to be happy, so it might as well let them play some good roles. There's no need for you to apologize for this. ”
"Sister! My sister is nearly twenty years older than you, and she always claims to be a cultivator, but many times she can't think about it, and she is not as transparent as you. ”
"Don't say that, Yun'er thinks that your charity is difficult for Yun'er to do, and it is difficult to achieve this realm when you think of others in advance. As for you, just put this thing down. All right? ”
"Yun'er, you're so rare."
"You're just going to have these two dowry shops?"
"There is another one, already a yellow shop, I sold rouge gouache before, but my sister entrusted it to a cousin of my grandfather's family, but fortunately, it took two or three years to toss into an empty shell, and people ran away. The shop is my sister's property, the house belongs to my sister, and the deed is still in my sister's hand. ”
"Why don't you pack up and sell jewelry? It is the jewelry that Yun'er brought back from the foreign land that is different from the Qing Dynasty, hairpin rings, rings, as well as women's gadgets such as velvet flowers, yarn flowers and fungus flowers, which are specially operated by a shop. Let the prince send someone from the house to be the shopkeeper, and then send a few personal soldiers as his companions. ”
"Don't price, don't price, isn't that all sister's? Among your relatives, only Young Master Ruiqian is running it, and my sister has several, what is it like? ”
"Yun'er also thinks about her relatives, such as my uncle's paper shop, who also deals in antiques, so he puts the ornaments we bought back to him to sell. Although the ornament is not an antique, I am afraid that it is not the right way to put it in the cloth village and the grocery store, right? ”
Fu Jin smiled: "My sister is really business-minded. ”
"Where does Yun'er know how to do business? He doesn't sell goods in his uncle's paper shop, and he's a working guy at best. ”
Ling Juan was surprised and asked, "Yunyun, have you ever been a young man?" But the guy should be a man. ”
Fu Jin smiled: "My sister Yun also has the ability to frame paintings." His uncle sometimes received a painting that was very shabby and needed to be framed, and she made a living in her uncle's back room in order to increase her family's income, or she couldn't know the prince. ”
"Ling Juan has heard that framing is very troublesome, will you still uncover it? It's amazing. ”
"What's so good about me? There is no risk at all in those jobs, as long as you are careful and patient, where is it like you are in control of human life. ”
In the evening, when the prince came back to rest, Fu Jin said Yun'er's thoughts, and the prince said, "This is a good idea." I think you seem to be afraid of wolves and tigers, we are not seeking personal interests for ourselves, and the rule that officials are not allowed to do business is not in line with us. ”
"But what you said about the Holy One of today will soon ......"
"Yes, if it is an old and a young person who maintains this country, there are indeed many ditches and bumps, so let's overcome them slowly. Are you worried that Dong Zhuo in the future will not be good for me? However, if he wants to attack the royal family, he really has to think about it. There are more than a dozen of the emperor's brothers, nephews, cousins, etc. I have never offended a future Vice-Chancellor, so don't be so pessimistic. All right? ”
"The concubine shuddered when she remembered our days in prison. There is no hope at all, there are only two of us in that prison, and then even the food delivery person does not come, what is the difference between it and the grave? Didn't we offend the Regent either? ”
"Didn't we come out too? Nothing is set in stone. To live, people have to endure hardships and twists and turns. Go back and let the eldest son of Mama Dong's family come to the house to learn a few or a dozen kinds of noodles with Mrs. Chen, and her second son's grocery store will be changed to a cloth village. There is also the yellow shop, the store is still there, decorate it well, and operate some women's products brought back by Yun'er, which are jewelry. Isn't it selling well in Nalan Donggui's department store? Your shop is quite far away from him, and it won't affect his income. ”
"This is the goods that Yun'er bought with silver, but you asked the concubine's shop to sell it!"
"You're so smart, why can't you settle the account? The goods were bought with Yun'er's silver, but after selling them, she didn't even get a penny. In fact, whether it is Dong Da or Dong Kui, you can't get anything. Didn't Master say that? We are not paid. Those shops are your property, and we don't need to take the rent, so it's better to let your relatives run them, which makes people feel more at ease. Does anyone in your nurse's family do business? ”
"Mama Shen's eldest son-in-law is dealing in things like incense, candles, paper horses, etc."
"How's the character?"
"I didn't say anything about my character, the eldest daughter of the concubine and the nurse is a well-known spicy person, with five big and three thick, and her man is as obedient as a little girl in front of her. The concubine, the milk sister, is not an unreasonable kind of spicy person, on the contrary, if her man does something deceitful, it will really be kneeling on the washboard. ”
"It's really depressing for a husband to be in this position."
"It's not so strict, although my brother-in-law listens to my sister for everything, but he is very worry-free, those incense, candles, paper and horses are made by my sister and the children themselves, and he doesn't need to buy them at all. By the way, you let them run our shop, what do you sell? ”
"Since your sister's hands are so skillful, you can also make flowers from the raw materials that Yun'er brought back. Not only can you have operating expenses, but you can also get a processing fee, killing two birds with one stone. ”
"You're too partial to concubines, aren't you? The concubine's relatives now have three families that can do business for the mansion, and Sister Yun only has a cloth village for Young Master Ruiqian. ”
"Where I prefer, it's convenient. These shops can only be regarded as consignment stores, franchise stores, in the future, we will have our own merchants, Yun'er's relatives I pondered, in addition to Master Ruiqian's cloth village, Zhou's shopkeeper's paper shop also began to sell glassware and ornaments to us. It's not an antique, but it's a nice thing. There is also Yun'er's cousin, married to Tongzhou, her father-in-law is engaged in antique calligraphy and painting, Tongzhou is still the water passage to the south, and the things on our house can be transported to the south from the Tongzhou wharf and transported to the south by water. Yun'er's cousin-in-law, if he is a good businessman, can sell the goods to the south through guò. Also, the old house of the Chen family in Yun'er's hometown of Kaifeng is a big family of more than 200 people, and I heard Mr. Chen say that the men in his big family are both officials and businessmen. A man who marries is not an official also has to make a living for his family. Either they sell books, sell paintings, or teach, mount paintings, or open an embroidery workshop, or open a clothing store. Regardless of whether you are married or not, you have to study, a typical scholarly family. Women's work is more tiring than men's, they have their own embroidery workshops, and the embroidery work must be spread on women's heads, and the women who make ready-to-wear clothes are their own women, and there are a few who open restaurants. I thought, if the materials in the house are processed and sold to them, isn't it a two-way profit? ”
"You've got it all planned?"
"That's just the idea, whether people are willing to do it or not."
"Then you hurry up and talk to Mr., Kaifeng seems to be 14500 miles away from here, who knows that the materials used by them are from our house? Isn't it more convenient than in Kyori? ”
"That's what I thought, so arranged your mind to be balanced, right?"
"Lord Wang, why are you so good to Xiu'er?"
"You are my woman, you share weal and sorrow with me, and you gave birth to a daughter who is like a flower, and you care for me, I am not good to you, and God will not allow it."
"Lord ......"
"What's wrong with you, can you relax your heart? Tomorrow, you and Mama Dong will talk about her two sons, if her second son is willing to turn the grocery store into a cloth village, he will buy some cloth in the Qing Dynasty, and then sell some cloth to the house. ”
"Okay, tomorrow the concubine will say to Mama Dong, it just so happens that she has come to take care of Mama Chu and has not left yet."
"Tomorrow, Mang Ge and Batel and I will go to the Xishan Coal Mine to have a look, and the big kitchen will be changed to coal burning. I had to go to Young Master Chen with Mr., Liangzi, and Nalan to see if the cloth we bought from the foreign land was good or not. ”
"Then the concubines should wait for them to come back, if it is not easy to sell, the second child of Mama Dong's family will ......"
"It's fine. Tomorrow we'll split up. ”
