"Open a salt and oil shop?"
"What salt and oil shop, just salt shop!"
Wei Ming corrected: "Except for salt, we don't sell anything else - in business terms, this is called a franchise, which helps to establish a high-end atmosphere and high-grade image......
"What do you mean by high-end atmosphere?"
In front of Guo Xi's bewildered look at what he said, Wei Ming could only explain it in the most popular and straightforward language: "The meaning of high-end atmosphere and grade is the same thing, we sell it very expensive, and customers obviously sell it expensive, but they still think that the money is worth it!" ”
"It turns out that this is a high-end and high-grade franchise!"
After figuring it out, Guo Xi immediately deflated and said: "But this shop that sells salt, no matter how expensive it is, where can it be?" The government's salt is priced, and we can make some scattered odds and ends at most - if we want to rely on it to earn back my few taels of gold, we can't wait until the Year of the Ox and the month of the horse? ”
"If I really want to make some scattered odd and miscellaneous expenses, then I might as well open a restaurant, what kind of franchise are you doing?"
Wei Ming's angry eyes were not angry, and he simply didn't bother to be verbose, and directly asked Qinghong to take out the salt jar and said, "Don't say anything else, you taste my salt first!" ”
"What's so good about salt?"
Thinking that he had invested four taels of gold and actually exchanged it for the business of opening a salt shop, Guo Xi's expression was simply ugly like a little devil who had been in the Eight Ways again......
But after dipping the chopsticks in a little salt and licking it, this guy's eyes completely changed!
Because in his cognition, all the salt he has ever eaten, even the best well salt produced in Shudi, has a strange taste that is difficult to erase with bitterness, and the difference is only in the severity of this bitterness and strange taste.
When such salt is put into the meal, the meal will basically carry the bitter and astringent taste of salt......
But because everyone eats this kind of salt, and the people of all previous dynasties and dynasties have all eaten this kind of salt.
So Guo Xi has long been used to it, and even thinks that salt with a strange taste and bitterness is the taste of salt!
But now, he found that the salt in Wei Ming's salt jar did not have the slightest bitterness and strange taste, only the purest salty taste!
That feeling made Guo Xi feel like a baby born to taste the first milk in his life, and open his eyes to see the beauty of the world at first sight!
However, after having fun, he was a little worried - after all, no matter how good this salt is, if it is not official salt but private salt......
"If it's really private salt, do you think I dare to open this salt shop?"
Wei Ming glanced at Guo Xi angrily before saying, "This salt is just a little purified with official salt!" ”
Although the imperial court did not allow the sale of illicit salt, it did not say that it would not let people purify the official salt before buying it......
Guo Xi, who was sure that it was not private salt, was immediately excited, and was sure that he was going to send it......
He was sure that if such salt was taken out for monopoly, he was afraid that no matter how much money it sold for, he was afraid that some people would be willing to spend money to buy it and eat it!
Thinking that the people in Chang'an City went to their own salt shop to buy salt, and when the time came, the white silver flowed into his pocket like flowing water, Guo Xile's mouth cracked to the root of his ear, and he immediately said that he would take care of the shop in this regard, and Wei Ming only needed to be responsible for the salt.
Hearing this, Wei Ming was surprised and said, "Didn't you say that the pocket money saved in the past ten or twenty years was used to buy a house for me, and half of the copper on your body was gone?" ”
"Didn't you already borrow a tael of gold from your uncle before?"
Guo Xi smiled strangely: "Since I have already borrowed one or two, it will be much easier to borrow again!" ”
“……”
Wei Ming was speechless, and said in his heart that he didn't expect you, a thick-eyed and big-eyed person, to be well aware of the fact that the person who owes money is an uncle.
With the power of the General's Mansion, the matter of the shop is handed over to Guo Xi, of course Wei Ming has no opinion.
However, in terms of management, Wei Ming insisted on letting Qinghong be the shopkeeper and Yueru helped.
In the Tang Dynasty, women should be three from the four virtues, one door and two doors are not stepping, but all women with good families are eager to send people to dip in the pig cage This kind of feudal etiquette does not exist......
Not to mention that women are shopkeepers or the like, it is not a matter of getting drunk on the street with others.
Therefore, Guo Xi will certainly not object to Wei Ming's letting Qinghong be the shopkeeper Yueru to help in the shop.
However, Qinghong and Yueru themselves resolutely objected, saying that they were too young to be competent, and hoped that Wei Ming would let Dahu go to be the shopkeeper of the salt shop.
"You brother tiger is responsible for such a hard work as salt purification!"
Wei Ming said: "And to run a shop, it is inevitable that you have to keep accounts, and the big tiger is illiterate, who else can you go if you don't go?" You can't let me stay in the salt shop all day, can you? ”
"It's really not good, you can find another accounting room for you!"
Yueru bowed her head and argued, saying that she didn't want to do anything else except serve at home......
It's just that before she finished speaking, Qinghong changed her attitude and said: "Since the prison is determined to ask me and Yueru to do it, then the two of them will do it......"
"How can you say yes?"
Yueru, who returned to the room, complained: "Although we have redeemed ourselves, but you and I are criminals after all, so show up, in case we encounter some enemies, we are small, I am afraid that it will affect Xiaolang......"
"I don't want to say yes either......"
Qinghong smiled bitterly and said, "But haven't you seen it, Xiaolang is doing this just to separate you and me from him......"
"I see!"
Hearing this, Yueru's eyes flushed and said: "It seems that in his eyes, you and I are just outsiders after all, and we can't kiss Brother Tiger......"
"He can't be blamed for that!"
Qinghong said: "Who asked you and me, after all, it was sent by the Prince's Mansion?" It's normal for him to be so ambitious and wary of us! ”
Although she thought so, in the bottom of her heart, she was extremely unwilling.
There are some things that you will know how to cherish only after losing them......
So although it has only been more than half a month since he came to Wei Ming, in this half a month, Qinghong once again felt the warmth and safety of home.
"Do you want to kick me and Yueru out of the house in this way?"
Qinghong raised her eyebrows slightly, and said in her heart that I wouldn't let you get your wish so easily!
Sooner or later, I will let you know that I am an indispensable presence by your side!
Wei Ming didn't care about the second daughter's idea at all, only the big tiger was not interested......
After all, there were originally two beautiful girls at home to accompany him, but now he is suddenly left alone, how can a young man who is just beginning to fall in love not feel empty in his heart?
"I'm not driving them away!"
Wei Ming said funny: "They still live at home on weekdays, but they just go to the shop to take care of them during the day!" ”
The simple-minded big tiger became happy at this time, saying that although he had learned these things in Yanba Tichun, if he didn't have a personal helper alone, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get busy......
"Looks like we'll have to find someone else to come back and help!"
Wei Ming nodded and thought of a humane: "That kid in Maoshan is still studying with Mr. ”
