Chapter 519: The Commander's Wife (5)

The commander's wife came to the mansion to find Fujin again. She heard that one of the wedding shops in Fujin was a noodle village because it added a lot of varieties of noodles, and it became popular all of a sudden. I thought of my dowry shop, can I also add something to the prosperity. Tong's juice shop is booming, and there are two shops that are half dead, so they came to Fujin.

Fu Jin really wants to help her aunt, and her aunt is really good to her. Although the age difference between the two is only ten years, Fu Jin also respects his aunt as an elder, and the commander's wife is also quite affectionate and kind to Fu Jin, and she can help if she can.

Fu Jin had already told the prince about his aunt coming to the house to ask for help, and the prince asked Tian Liang to find a way to help the wife of the commander. The Lord Commander sells most of the milk in his house to the house to make cold drinks, so he wants to help with this. But Fu Jin was afraid that his aunt's personality would be straightforward, and he should not reveal the business affairs of the palace when he revealed to the wife and girlfriend of the minister of the imperial court.

The prince said: "You are reasonable, but you are too careful. I think that although the Commander-in-Chief has a cheerful personality and loves to talk and laugh, she will not necessarily say anything that should not be said. Your uncle, the Commander-in-Chief, is a cautious, low-key person, and will definitely not tell his wife about the affairs of the court, and the character of the Commander-in-Chief does not seem to be concerned about the government. Women of your class are very cautious, and when they get together, it's just trivial things such as dressing up, children's marriages, and who talks about what the government does? If she's willing to run snacks or groceries, she opens two of them. The government provided her with ready-made goods, and she deducted 10% of the operating expenses according to the standard of the agency, and the rest was how to operate herself. I think Nalan Donggui sells those groceries very well, and the things that ordinary people use daily are still indispensable. ”

The prince felt that if he ignored it, it would not look good for Fujin's face. I told Fu Jin what he meant, and Fu Jin was very moved. It's not that she doesn't want to help, but she's afraid that her aunt's mouth won't have a door. Fiction and reality are together, in case someone with a heart is eyed by the time, it will be really troublesome to pick a bone in the egg and impeach the prince and uncle. But it's really unreasonable not to help. If the method according to what the prince said is really good, it will be a franchise store, and nothing else will be involved.

"Xiu'er, you don't have to worry too much. Ao Bai had to be five or six years, in the first few years, his attention was mainly on his political enemies, the royal family had no power, and the little emperor of Kangxi cleaned him up in the eighth year.

After negotiation, one of Mrs. Tong's two dowry shops was to deal in glass. This is a new thing, whether it is the officials of the Qing Dynasty or the common people, there is almost no glass on the windows, even if there is already glass production in the Qing Dynasty, the quality cannot be compared with the three princes brought back. The emperor's office is often in the Qianqing Palace, and the prince has replaced the row of panes under the window pane under the big kang outside the Dongnuan Pavilion that the emperor has criticized and folded with completely transparent glass windows without any impurities, and has also drawn a layer of translucent gauze curtains. Either the sun is too strong to irritate the eyes, or don't let people see where the emperor is, in case of assassins.

Many civil and military ministers who came to the court envied the emperor's glass windows, thinking that their residence had such transparent windows, but they didn't dare to get it, was it uncomfortable to compare with the emperor?

People's comparativeness, competitiveness, and jealousy are all with us, and after seeing them, they go from envy to anxiety and want to get them as soon as possible. The commander is very low-key, and his wife told him that his shop is in a recession, and the prince of Rui suggested that she open a glass shop, and the skills of cutting glass and inlaying glass are taught by the head of the house, and then her shop is handed over to the prince how much franchise fee. But the commander is afraid that someone will impeach him, so he wants to ask the emperor for instructions, and if the emperor allows it, he will cross the clear road, and the emperor will not allow Prince Rui to say anything. It gives people the feeling that the prince is pulling his wife to do business, and he is afraid that something will go wrong, and the emperor will shelter the prince and take the knife himself. But this can't be said clearly, he knows the character of the lady best, that is, he is unwilling to be lonely, in his unpleasant words, he is the third aunt and six women who walk the streets and alleys, if something goes wrong, it will be out of control.

Looking at the commander who was walking at the end, the emperor knew that he had something to say, and he was hesitant to say it, which was very contradictory.

"Lord Commander, do you have something to tell me?"

The commander immediately knelt in front of the emperor: "Weichen has a very tricky matter, I want to ask the emperor to show me." ”

"Hurry up, please. Lord Tong is my elder and the grandfather of the third prince, so he has something to say. ”

"Thank you, Emperor! Weichen's clumsy Jing Li went to Rui Wangfu's door, and Tong's Fujin mentioned the recession of the dowry shop, and the prince said that he could open a franchise store, and the people in the prince's mansion would provide technology, and the clumsy Jing's subordinates would run it, and Weichen ......"

"I see what you mean. Franchise store means to open a store in partnership, right? It's good, I don't know what it's doing? ”

"It's to cut the glass, whoever wants to set a glass window at home, give the size of the glass to the store, cut it according to the size, and inlay it in the inner frame of the same size, and the room will be much brighter."

"I think it's possible! What else to say? ”

"The palace provides the technology to cut glass, and the store pays a one-year franchise fee, and then the store operates itself. To deduct the cost of glass, the price of selling glass should be decided by the royal government, they know how big the glass is, and they can also control the phenomenon of the store's sky-high asking price. ”

"The second emperor brother also said that he is a layman in business, isn't this doing a good job? What does Master Tong mean? ”

"Humble Jing naturally wants to have an income, and there is a dog in the house who is not married, and a daughter who is not married."

"Yes, I really don't give much to my civil and military ministers, and you also know that now I am the emperor with an unstable foundation, and the country will be richer in the future, and I will compensate for it. Let's do it, let's do it, and it's okay to cut glass and sell it. It's good that you give enough money for the glass to Lord Rui, he brought it back from thousands of miles away, and it's not easy. ”

"Wechen understands, don't bother the emperor, Wechen retires."

In the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu and Han ministers had different claims in front of the emperor. Manchen wants to call himself a minion, and Hanchen calls himself a micro-minister. Commander Tong is a Han Chinese, so naturally he calls himself a micro-minister. However, Concubine Tong gave birth to an emperor for Emperor Shunzhi, and Tong's family was carried into the yellow flag of the three banners in Manchuria, renamed Tong Jia, and became the head of the eight surnames in Manchuria.

When the Lord Commander left the Qianqing Palace, he let out a long breath, and in the future, his wife's dowry shop would be a legitimate business. As long as you don't do anything illegal, you have to weigh it if you want to impeach it. It seems that the emperor still looks at the face of his daughter or grandson. When I went home, I told my wife that I could do business in partnership with Lord Rui, but I didn't say that the emperor agreed, for fear that my wife would shout out all over the street.

Soon the contract of the franchise store was signed, and the initial stipulation was that the franchise store would pay a franchise fee of 60 taels of silver every year, with an average of 5 taels per month, which was still very cheap. The Lord, who didn't want to get involved in the prince's business, had to go with his wife to discuss the details of the glass shop. He really didn't worry about his wife, for fear that she would cause trouble if she opened her mouth.

A month later, another franchise was born. In the Qing Dynasty, the one who opened the glass shop, Fujin's aunt was the second. The prince sent someone to send fifty large pieces of glass in a newly installed flatbed carriage, which was the kind of thinner civilian glass used on the doors and windows. A glass-cutting case covered with a thin blanket, a few glass-cutting rulers, and a few glass knives will do. In the past month, the people sent by the commander's wife to study with Tian Liang have learned all the methods of cutting glass, and after practice, not only can they cut thin glass, but even the tempered glass used on the counter can be cut, and they can also cut tiles, of course, they are all special glass knives.

For the first few days no one patronized, but the plaque of the glass shop was seen by a few foreigners, whoa, after the negotiation of the interpreter, bought a few pieces of glass they needed, and the man cut it, and happily handed over the silver, and took it back to inlay it himself.

Then the housekeeper of the official's house came to make an appointment and asked the man from the glass shop to come to the house to inlay the glass. Fortunately, there is a service item of door-to-door service, first go to the house to measure the size, and then tell him to have a glass-lined frame, the previous kind of lattice windows cannot be glass-plated.

There are first, second, third, and fourth, and the glass shop of the Commander's wife is becoming more and more prosperous. The three of them bought back not a lot of glass, and they also developed dressing mirrors and makeup mirrors during the period. It's bad now, and the guests who come to make an appointment are like waves of the sea. Can the exotic mercury mirror be compared to the bronze mirror of the Qing Dynasty? Compared to anything else, the clarity alone threw the Qing Dynasty out of the eight streets. The dressing mirror should be framed, and the master carpenter also comes in handy.

Originally, "Tong's Juice" was already very prosperous, and with this glass shop, the dowry shop of the commander's wife was so prosperous that it was gone. There are street gangsters who have come to make trouble, I heard that this glass shop is the business of the emperor's father-in-law, where do they dare to act rashly, who wants to go to the prison of the Criminal Department to eat? Even though that meal was free.

The third dowry shop has also been decided, which is a franchise store that deals in herbal tea. The three dowry shops of the commander's wife are all franchised stores, and the shop of herbal tea has to wait a while, and then Ling Juan will teach the staff in the store skills.

Herbal tea refers to those herb drinks that do not contain tea ingredients, which are herbal drinks that are decocted or brewed from the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, skins and other parts of plants to produce aromatic flavors. Most of them are used in beauty and skin care, body slimming, and health preservation.

The healthiest drink for human beings is tea, and the most classic drink for women is flowers. After Yun'er found the information about herbal tea, she realized how violent it was to dry so many fallen flowers and make the filler of the sachet!

The prince planted flowers in the garden, and he didn't know that flowers had so many uses, just for his two beloved women. Now that it is of great use, I will definitely make good use of this resource in the future! The women of the Qing Dynasty are dependent on men to survive, and the favor of men is first beautiful, then healthy, and then the number of children. Of course, it is not absolute. No matter how beautiful they are, men who are always sick and crooked don't like it.

Yun'er felt that she could also use the prince's garden to make a lot of health care products that are beneficial to women's health, and they were rich in resources and had great strength. This garden can be used for beekeeping, and bee products are also an indispensable resource for health and beauty, and then flower products, which can also make many kinds of health and beauty products. Let's just say that this herbal tea, the flowers in the garden of the prince can make a wide variety of herbal teas with rich flavors. More and more women from exotic countries are beginning to abandon coffee and drink herbal teas for self-cultivation. Of course, before drinking, you should follow the principle of "prescribing the right medicine", choose herbal tea suitable for your physique, and do not drink too much. There are also many taboos in collocation. Peony flowers, lemon fruits, linden leaves, red plums, licorice chips, mulberry leaves, forget-me-nots, peach blossoms, cassia seeds, roselle, rosemary, lotus leaves, stevia, lemon leaves, burdock, senna, chamomile, jasmine, calendula, bitter gourd slices, azaleas, chrysanthemums, ginseng flowers, aloe vera leaves, lotus seed hearts, mint, etc. are all high-quality herbal tea raw materials. The prince has bought all the seeds of these flowers and plants, and is ready to select a little to raise seedlings in the greenhouse.

According to Yun'er, the training of employees is much more complicated than that of a glass shop, and Fu Jin told his aunt. The commander's wife hurriedly said: "Don't worry, these two families are busy enough." Why don't your aunt give you some herbal tea shop? ”

"What are you kidding? My niece also has three shops, the eldest and second of Mama Dong's family are both eating restaurants, and there is also a jewelry store, which are all very prosperous, where can I have the energy to run other stores.

When Yun'er came to Fujin to greet him, she met Mrs. Commander, and told her that the juice shop could also add hot drinks, and that there would definitely be fewer or no people who came to use cold drinks in winter, so they would operate milk tea, ginger tea, grapefruit tea, soy milk, fresh milk, papaya pear water, red dates, longan water, sesame banana drinks, milkshakes, etc. Winter is the off-season for cold drinks, and dealing in hot drinks can make up for this shortcoming. Yun'er's suggestion was immediately adopted by the commander's wife, saying that she would definitely send someone to learn art in winter, and she would have to pay more franchise fees at that time, but she understood it in her heart and mouth.

At the same time, the jewelry store in Fujin also opened for business. The counter is similar to the kind of jewelry sold in exotic shopping malls, with lockers underneath, and high, medium, and low-grade jewelry in the space 20 centimeters high. Then the top is covered with a fiberglass shield, which is very strong. This store is also a consignment store, and the shopkeeper is Fujin's younger brother, that is, Mama Shen's second son. Mama Shen is not poor, her home is in the Zhuangzi of the prince's 3,000 acres of land. The eldest son is the head of the village, and he is very good at management, and he has planted 3,000 acres of land in a decent manner, not only producing grain, but also hemp, soybeans, sorghum, millet, millet and other food crops, as well as melons, watermelons, grapes and other fruits. He also had a large industry of his own, such as raising mink, foxes, otters, rabbits, and other fur-producing animals. Mama Shen's second son has already been admitted to the Xiucai and Lifter exams, and will soon be admitted to the Jinshi. But Fu Jin asked him to be the temporary shopkeeper of the jewelry store, and he came without saying a word. This shop is in Xicheng, and he lives in the store. The government sent him two personal soldiers and four guards and personal soldiers who were secretly protecting.
