Chapter 62: The Choice of a New Shop
At the end of the year, the originally depressed county town gradually became lively, and many people came to the city to buy New Year's goods, and the places such as tailor shops, rice grain shops and Spring Festival couplet stalls were very lively.
After all, during the Chinese New Year, the people mainly bought daily necessities such as food and clothing, or festive items such as Spring Festival couplets, Tu Su, peach charms, lanterns, etc., and it was better to visit less if there was no need for a place like a medicinal herb store, so the business of Huiniang Pharmacy gradually became lighter.
The news that Han County's order was going to be transferred to Nanzhili did not spread in Ninghua County, and Shen Xi only learned from the Xu shopkeeper of "Sigu Zhai" that taking advantage of the rare free time at the moment, Shen Xi urged Hui Niang to implement the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce before the end of the year.
With the new county order taking office after the year, the "policy protection period" of Huiniang Pharmacy will pass, and it will not be so easy to keep the business prosperous before.
While discussing the establishment of a chamber of commerce with the owners of the rest of the pharmacies in the city, Hui Niang is looking for a suitable store and preparing to expand her business.
Not only should the new shop be large and clean, but most importantly, the price should be cheap, and it should not be too far away from the current pharmacy, so that it is easy to move around on both sides.
In the next few days, Hui Niang visited a lot of shops, because of the plague, there were many empty shops in the city, Hui Niang chose two favorite ones after reading them, and discussed with Zhou after returning.
Zhou doesn't have many opinions, according to her meaning, everything is decided by Hui Niang, the big shopkeeper.
Hui Niang thought about it and couldn't make up her mind. Bai Du billion hey, Yan, brother free of charge without bullet window to watch the next chapter
The prices offered by the owners on both sides are quite reasonable, on the one hand, Hui Niang, the "goddess doctor", has a good reputation, and opening a pharmacy is to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and he does not want to lose this good object. In addition, Hui Niang's pharmacy business is now unique in the city, and Hui Niang can bring their shop popularity after taking over, even if it takes back the shop to do other businesses in the future.
"Why don't you call Xiaolang over to discuss?" Hui Niang looked at Zhou and asked for her meaning.
Zhou shook his head, a little disappreciative: "How old is Han Wa'er, what is my sister discussing with him?" My sister thinks which one is good, just put the store down. ”
Hui Niang smiled: "I think my sister is prejudiced against Xiaolang, and I always feel that he is young and has no ideas, in fact, if he doesn't remind him of many things, where can my sister see so far?" When we planted pox on people, didn't we know that there was such a thing after he was pricked with a needle? ”
"Besides, to negotiate with those pharmacy owners to set up a chamber of commerce, it was also what Xiaolang told me. The location of the store this time is very important, maybe he has good insights, and it may not be helpful for our future business. ”
Zhou didn't expect his son to be so important in Hui Niang's mind, but if you think about it carefully, Shen Xi can not only help in the pharmacy, but he also facilitates many things, otherwise Hui Niang would not give her a thirty percent profit share for nothing.
"Then call Hanwa'er to come over and discuss." When Zhou said this, he said to Xiao Yu, who was standing next to the counter, "Xiao Yu, you go and call Xiao Lang." ”
"Yes, Grandma."
Whether it is Hui Niang or Zhou, Xiaoyu is always called "grandma", she doesn't talk much on weekdays, but because of her literacy, she can help a lot on the counter.
Waiting for the people to go to the backyard, Hui Niang looked at Xiaoyu's back and said approvingly: "If you want to say that this Xiaoyu is indeed a very attentive girl, she remembers where the medicinal materials are placed in the past few days, and she will not delay if she says something...... It's just that this girl talks too little on weekdays, and I don't know if she has something hidden in her heart. ”
Zhou sighed: "Alas, Han Wa'er also told me that day that this Xiaoyu likes to hide and cry when she is fine." You said that at such a young age, no father and no mother were sold to be a maid, can you not be wronged? ”
The two were chatting, Shen Xi had already pushed open the curtain and walked into the shop, followed by Lin Dai and Lu Xi'er.
The two little Loli seem to be his followers, Shen Xi doesn't have to go to school in the past two days, and the three of them are inseparable in and out of the house. Behind the two little Lori, followed by Ning'er, the maid who was responsible for taking care of the backyard, Ning'er greeted herself after entering the hall: "Miss, don't run too fast, be careful of tripping over the threshold......"
When Hui Niang saw her daughter coming in, she stepped forward to pick up Xi'er and said with some complaints: "I know that I am running around, and I am not stable when I run, and it is not good to fall." Ning'er, take her out, go to the kitchen first to get her some hot water to wash her hands, you see her hands are so dirty! ”
Lu Xi'er smiled and said, "Mother, Brother Shen Xi is teaching me how to write, it's fun." ”
After Hui Niang put Xi'er down, Ning Er stepped forward and took Xiao Nizi's hand and said, "Miss, let's go to the backyard kitchen and wash our hands." Come, I'll take you. ”
Lu Xi'er was a little reluctant, and was led by Ning Er to the backyard, but she turned around in three steps, looking at Shen Xi pitifully, and she felt reluctant to even be separated for a moment.
When Ning'er took Lu Xi'er to the backyard, Hui Niang said to Shen Xi: "Xiaolang, my aunt has a fancy for two shops, but I can't decide which one to choose, I want to ask you what you mean." One is on East Street and the other is on North Street, not far from here, the shops are very clean and the proprietors are very kind. ”
"Oh."
Shen Xi thought for a while and suggested: "East Street is clean and tidy, and there are a few markets near North Street that are more lively, if you consider it from the perspective of people flow and potential customers, North Street is better." But if the store is opened on North Street, it will make people think that our pharmacy is not high-grade enough, and those big families may not be willing to go there to buy medicine......"
"The two shops have their own pros and cons, in my opinion, it is better for us to set up a general number and a semicolon, the general number is on East Street, and the semicolon is on North Street, so that we can have the best of both worlds."
Zhou scolded: "You stinky boy, let you help Aunt Sun come up with ideas, you are good, you want to take down the shops on both sides?" How much silver does that cost? ”
Hui Niang couldn't help but be a little embarrassed: "Xiaolang, there are not many people in this small Ninghua county, and it is a bit risky for us to open two shops at a time now, let alone three." ”
Shen Xi nodded, thought about it and said, "Then my aunt should open the medicine shop on East Street, at least the personnel there are not complicated, and my aunt and mother can rest assured when they go in and out...... If your aunt feels that the shops supporting both sides at the same time are too busy, you might as well rent out the current shop and only take care of the pharmacy over there. ”
Hui Niang thought for a long time, and finally shook her head categorically: "It's okay to be tired, many people only know that we open a shop here, especially those who come to seek medicine from outside the city, I'm afraid that if this shop is closed, the business of our new shop will not be good, and we will have to move back when the time comes." ”
Shen Xi shrugged: "Everything should be done according to what my aunt said." ”
said this, but in fact, Shen Xi was a little unimpressed in his heart. In his opinion, Hui Niang is still a little conservative after all, if she doesn't take this crucial step, she always wants to keep the old shop and eat the old book, and the business will always be just a corner, and she can't become bigger and stronger.
In Shen Xi's imagination, it is best for Hui Niang to use the name of "goddess doctor" she has obtained from treating the people of Lingnan and Fujian and Zhejiang to quickly promote the pharmacy, and every city in the south of the Yangtze River has her pharmacy semicolon, which can be regarded as bigger and stronger. But these ideas, Shen Xi was afraid that Hui Niang would feel that her dream was too big or even out of reach, and then she would be afraid of difficulties, so she could only think about it for the time being.
