Chapter 040: Plan to Open a Dessert Shop
"No, not even half a cent." Jian Ning didn't think about it for a moment, and directly rejected Liu Leshan's suggestion.
"Senior brother, Baiweilou lost this time because of this sudden price reduction. If they had been in a bleak business, or had lowered the price shortly after the restaurant opened, our move would not have been so successful. β
"Now the business of Shiweiyuan is obviously very prosperous, if we are suddenly reducing the price at this time, wouldn't it be to follow the footsteps of Baiweilou, so that others will think that our Shiweiyuan's dishes are also problematic."
Jian Ning's words made Liu Leshan react, indeed, it didn't take long for the incident of Baiweilou to happen, if Shiweiyuan was now roaring at the price reduction, it would indeed make people suspicious.
"It's still Ning'er thinking too much, and the senior brother almost dug a pit for himself to jump." Liu Leshan touched his head and said with an embarrassed smile.
"Senior brother, I heard Xi'er say this morning that the small tea shop next to our food garden can't be opened, but is there such a thing?" Jian Ning's thoughts have always jumped, Liu Leshan has long been used to it, anyway, he will answer whatever Jian Ning asks.
"Well, that small tea shop was originally doing average business, and not long ago a two-story tea house opened on the street next door, so they naturally can't hold on."
"Senior brother, you can go to that tea shop in a while, if they really plan to close, you can discuss with the boss and buy the shop." Jian Ning has long wanted to set up a shop, but she has never been able to find a good place, either the place is not good, or the store is not big enough.
"Buy?" Liu Leshan thought he had heard it wrong at first, and unconsciously repeated it.
"Yes, buy it."
"But Ning'er, our food garden is not small, there is no need to buy the shop next to it?" Liu Leshan really couldn't figure it out. The scale of the food garden can be said to be the largest on this street except for the Baiwei Building, and if you count the Ningxiang Courtyard at the back, it is not comparable to the Baiwei Building.
"Senior brother, I didn't buy that small tea shop to be with Shiweiyuan." Jian Ning smiled and said, "I plan to open another store next to the Food Garden." β
"Another store?" Liu Leshan was even more surprised at this time, and couldn't help but get up from the chair.
"Senior brother, you don't have to react so much." Jian Ning couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.
"The current pastries and the cold drinks in our food garden are very good, I was thinking, why don't I research a few more new varieties and open a dessert shop directly."
"Dessert shop? But you can sell it in the food garden, so you can save a lot of money on the rent of another shop! Liu Leshan is not like Jian Ning, all he thinks about is how to sell those new varieties better, and he wants to think about the cost.
"Senior brother, what you said is indeed good, but after so long, you also know that most of the people who come to Shiweiyuan are here to eat, and they can't buy many pastries or fruit wine."
"Our pastries and fruit wine are usually bought by the ladies and ladies, but ordinary people rarely buy them. They are generally accustomed to going to the pastry shop instead of going directly to the restaurant to buy pastries. β
Jian Ning had been observing for many days, and she found that these pastries were generally bought back after eating, and most people would still choose to go to the pastry shop if they only bought pastries or something. At first, Jian Ning thought that the pastry shop had pastries that tasted better than Shiweiyuan, and she also specially asked Xi'er to buy every pastry shop in Yangxin County.
I tried it myself, but later found that these pastries are generally not as good as those of Shiweiyuan, even if there are a few things that taste good, but Shiweiyuan's will not be much worse. That night, she asked Xi'er questions for two hours, just to find out the problem in between.
Later, she found out that there were many types of pastry shops, and most importantly, they would have a portion of their pastries outside, so that customers could taste them. However, there is no such place for customers to taste in the food garden, and there are not as many types of pastry shops, so you can only look at the names on the list.
"But, Ning'er, you should consider the cost. These things are bought in the food garden, which does not cost much, but if you rent a shop, you have to hire people, and these costs add up to a lot of money. Liu Leshan knew that he couldn't change what Jian Ning decided, but there were some things that still needed to be explained clearly to Jian Ning.
"Senior brother, I have considered all of this, don't worry, I will take care of this dessert shop personally, and its business will not be worse than Shiweiyuan. As for hiring people, I also thought that Chef Liu would definitely go to the new shop, and as for the guy who greeted people, I wanted to bring one from Shiweiyuan first, after all, the guys in Shiweiyuan have been trained and will definitely be able to sell the things in the store very well. "Jian Ning has been thinking about this manpower problem since she had that plan.
"If there is not enough left, I am ready to recruit. The dessert shop can't be only Chef Liu, I plan to find two others, a man and a woman, do not have to cook pastries, women are sometimes better than men, as for the guy, recruit another woman, after all, there are more female customers, it is convenient to have a little maid, and then there is a bookkeeper. β
"It turns out that Ning'er has planned it early in the morning! It's a shame that Senior Brother has been worried about you miscalculated just now! Liu Leshan patted Jian Ning's head and said with a smile.
Jian Ning even thought about this kind of thing, so naturally this cost was also calculated. Liu Leshan knew that although his junior sister liked to mess around a little, she also had to admit that in some aspects, he was far inferior to Jian Ning.
The matter of the shop pΓΉ was finalized in this way, and finally Jian Ning instructed: "Senior brother, this matter is not in a hurry, just take your time, the most important thing at the moment is to watch out for Yin Jian." He had just suffered a loss, and he wouldn't just endure it. β
"I have already arranged this matter, and I have sent people to pay attention to the vicinity of Baiwei Tower and around Yin Jian's yard, as long as there is a slight mistake, someone will report it." Although Liu Leshan is sometimes inferior to Jian Ning, his head is still not stupid. Besides, what kind of person Yin Jian is, he still understands, and he must keep his eyes open at this time.
"Yin Jian's yard?" Jian Ning had never paid attention to Yin Jian's surroundings, and suddenly said, Jian Ning couldn't help but ask, "Is there anyone in his family?" β
"There are three concubines, and the rest are subordinates."
"Three concubines, don't you have a wife?" Jian Ning originally knew from Xi'er that Yin Jian had no parents since he was a child, and later became Jian Baiwei's apprentice by chance. She also knew that she wanted to know if Yin Jian had a wife, but she didn't expect that there were no wives, but there were three concubines.
"I haven't heard of Yin Jian's marriage, so I guess there is none." Liu Leshan guessed.
Jian Ning didn't ask any more, after coming for so many days, Jian Ning still knows some rules, here the man marries a wife to marry the media and hold a feast, but the concubine is different, please don't invite someone to eat, it depends on the meaning of the man. If he wants to say that he will not be invited, then this little concubine can only enter the door of the house so quietly.
