Chapter 40 Suspension of Business for Rectification
Because they had told the housekeeper to prepare an extra carriage in advance, after several people arrived at the gate of the mansion, Zichai sat in the first carriage with Yingluo, and the four maids sat in a navy blue inconspicuous carriage behind.
The carriage drove slowly, and it had been half an hour since Huarong arrived. Yingluo and Zichai got out of the carriage first, and the four maids also got off the carriage and followed Yingluo into Huarong with their heads down.
At this time, Yun Niang was greeting in the store, and the two little guys looked more energetic than before. Yun Niang saw Yingluo coming over, beckoned one of the little maids to replace her, so she walked in front of Yingluo and saluted Yingluo, "Say hello to the young master." Yingluo nodded and asked Yun Niang to follow to the second floor, and then motioned to Zichai to take the four maids to the second floor.
Because Yun Niang had been instructed to vacate the second floor before, now only half of the private room and tea table are left on the second floor. Yingluo first ordered Zichai to wait outside with four maids, and then asked Yun Niang to come to the private room with her.
Yingluo sat on the stool, Yun Niang came over and poured her tea and took two steps back, facing Yingluo's face. Yingluo didn't drink tea, but said, "It's the first day of the next month in two days, right?" It has been several days since she came back from Suzhou, so it has been a month since she went to Suzhou at the beginning of the month.
Yun Niang nodded and replied, "Yes, young master." She came to Huarong a few days ago according to Yingluo's instructions, and she was a little dizzy these days, and after Yingluo said, she remembered that it was the beginning of December in two days.
Yingluo has thought about it, if you want to see the obvious benefits, you have to wait until the end of this month to change a new routine, business is not in a hurry, only step by step slowly, for business, she does not deny that she does not have much ability, but there are more things to consider. "I've noticed that in the past few days, the newly opened store has been full of people coming in and out, and we have been affected a lot here, so we have to change our approach, otherwise in a few days, it will be empty."
Yun Niang nodded, "I'm stupid, naturally I don't think as much as the young master, this still depends on the young master, but where to use my Yun Niang, although the young master commands, my Yun Niang doesn't say a word." ”
Yingluo listened to Yun Niang's words of similar assurance, but laughed, Yun Niang was not the shopkeeper invited by Yuchi Feng, she originally invited Yun Niang's father-in-law, but because Yun Niang's father-in-law cultivated the field a few years ago and accidentally injured her muscles and bones, Yun Niang volunteered to take on this mess. Yuchi Feng saw that Yun Niang was really capable, so he left her in Huaxiao. And in the middle of this summer, Yingluo and Lu took over the business of Yufu, Yun Niang is valued by her, so she also sees Yun Niang's strength clearly. Yun Niang has one thing, even if she can't come up with an idea, as long as someone mentions a point or two, she can do it well.
Therefore, Yingluo said, "You are modest, I still have something for you to do." ”
Yun Niang just pursed her lips gently, but in her eyes, she smiled a little deeper because of Yingluo's words, and then said, "Although the young master commands, I will do my best." ”
Yingluo bowed slightly, took a sip of tea, and said slowly, "You also saw the four girls I brought when I came, those were not recruited by me, but picked out from the maids in the house." Perhaps, they are very good at how to serve their masters and do some rough work. But from now until the end of their contract of sale, they will stay in Huarong forever. Therefore, in these two days, you must first explain to them what you want to do in the future, and teach them well. ”
Yun Niang looked sideways at the maids standing outside the door with their heads bowed, they looked quite old, and they were quite well-behaved. Then Yun Niang turned around and said to Yingluo, "Don't worry, young master, I will be attentive." ”
Yingluo doesn't suspect anything, after all, the business here is good, and the people here will also benefit directly, Yingluo is not a person who keeps money tightly, she will not lose a cent of the money she should spend, and she will not treat the people who have hard work. However, if you want to win over others, these few people alone are not enough.
Yingluo thought about it carefully, and then said, "In addition to these, I will send you a few strong family members from the mansion in the past two days, and there needs to be rectification here, so don't open the door for these two days." ”
After listening to Yingluo's words, Yun Niang hesitated a little, and then said her worries to Yingluo, "But young master, the last two days are not our usual days off, so this doesn't make people empty?" ”
Yun Niang thought of Yingluo also thought of it, but Yun Niang thought about the problem Yingluo did not think so, first chose these two days to have Yingluo considerations, first two days later to December, as the saying goes, a new January is a new beginning. And the batch of tribute silk brought by Hua Tingfeng was still in it and she didn't take it out, so she wanted to find an opportunity to put it up. And this so-called fear of people is a better time, although Huarong's business has been affected recently, but there are still many customers, and there are naturally some familiar households. Yingluo planned to write a notice and put it on the door, so that people who came could see it and wonder what special Huarong would give them at the beginning of next month. In addition, most of the ladies and ladies who come here have nothing to do on weekdays and mostly chat together, so it is not difficult for Yingluo to imagine the scene of the day the door opens.
Yingluo told Yun Niang about these picks and choices, Yun Niang's comprehension ability is not bad, and she knew what Yingluo meant after a little talk, and then another sentence similar to flattery came out, "The young master is really smart." ”
Yingluo then stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll tell you roughly how to repair the store, you will have to worry about it for the next two days." ”
Yun Niang smiled and said, "The young master is strict, this is just my business." ”
When Yingluo came out, the maids were polite and thoughtful and saluted, and under the repeated reminders of Zichai just now, they finally called Gongzi in unison, and Zichai's heart was also put down for most of it, because she was afraid that they would call it wrong, causing the consequences of strictness, and thanks to Zichai always being so rigorous, Yingluo didn't have to worry about anything.
Yingluo first took Yun Niang to the third floor, but because there were some people on the third floor, there were fewer people. It's also a shame to clean all day, not the kind of dust that falls. Yingluo said, "These silks are all high-quality, you know the varieties of silk, and the silk here is jacquard silk and taffeta according to the main category, and the silk here is the best of these two kinds of silk, so the price is relatively expensive." ”
Yun Niang on the side listened carefully, and then nodded in agreement.
Yingluo continued, "Two days ago, I asked you to vacate the second floor, so that you can move the things on the third floor down the second floor, if it is according to our previous method of shelving goods, I am afraid that the place is too small and unsightly, so only two horses of each silk need to be released, and the rest will be made in a large compartment on the second floor against the wall, and the rest of the silk will be put in and placed neatly, if the guest wants which, it will be taken out from the compartment, and the natural one on the counter does not need to be moved." The ground floor does the same. ”
Then, Yingluo explained the general layout of the house, and then told Yun Niang that she would come over the day after tomorrow, so she left the four maids in Huarong, and she and Zichai took a carriage and left.
