Li Qi taught seriously, the group of children also learned seriously, and the people on the side watched more seriously, and only Li Qi's voice could be heard in the whole courtyard.
Time passed quietly.
Before you know it, the sun has turned westward.
Li Qi saw that it was not too early, so he stopped teaching, instructed the group of children to practice more at night, and he would come to check tomorrow, and then took Tian Carpenter and his team to follow Bai Qiannuo back to the city.
Li Qi was busy all day today, and Wu Furong was not idle, taking Wu Xiaoliu and a few people, almost running all over Bianjing City, and finally found carpenters, bricklayers, lacquerers and other decoration workers.
The work started in the afternoon and was busy until the evening.
Not long after the workers left, Li Qi arrived.
When Li Qi returned to the Drunken Immortal Residence, he first told Wu Furong about the origin of the carpenter Tian and his party and the reason why he brought them here.
Wu Furong listened, and was excited, now that the Drunken Immortal Residence is the time to employ people, it will naturally not be a bad thing for multiple people to help, and most of these people are some familiar hands, and they can work with tools, and it is really no better.
After having dinner together, Li Qi asked Wu Xiaoliu and them to clean a few empty rooms and come out, and settled Tian Carpenter and his staff.
After he was done, Li Qi told Wu Furong about his plan to select refugees to come to Zuixianju as bartenders.
Wu Furong listened, he was happy and worried, he was still worried about recruiting people for the past few days, and now he heard that Li Qi had already found people, can he not be happy.
It's just that Li Qi found thirty or forty people at once, and he thought that this was really a lot, and he didn't even have a place to live.
After discussing with the two, they planned to select five younger and more handsome ladies from this group of refugees to clean up in Zuixianju, and then select five older ones to go to Qinfu to do housework, as for the arrangement of the room, Li Qi planned to let the big men like Tian Carpenter live in the backyard of Zuixianju, as for those children, part of them lived in Wu Furong's house, anyway, Wu Furong's family was alone, His wife died a long time ago due to a difficult birth.
After discussing this, Wu Furong suddenly said: "By the way, Li Gongzi, there is something I almost forgot to tell you." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Madame has been to the shop today, and if you had come back an hour earlier, you would have seen her."
"Oh, is it true?" Li Qi was pleasantly surprised, this seemed to be his impression, Mrs. Qin's first time coming to the Drunken Immortal Residence, and he was excited and regretful in his heart.
Wu Furong nodded and said, "Madame came here today mainly for the matter of Yang Lou. That Zhang Yuanwai went to the Qin Mansion again early this morning. ”
"yes, I almost forgot about it."
Li Qi patted his head and hurriedly asked, "How did the lady talk to him?" ”
Wu Furong said: "It's roughly the same as you expected, but Zhang Yuanwai wants to push the price per catty to 150 Wen." ”
Li Qi frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Then how much is he going to sell it?" ”
A flash of surprise flashed in Wu Furong's eyes, he smiled, and said, "It seems that I can't hide anything from you, yes, Zhang Yuanwai wants to use the price reduction to deal with Jade Xuan, and he plans to sell it for two hundred wen together." ”
This price is fifty wen lower than the price of Jade Xuan.
Li Qi pondered for a while and said, "What did Madame say?" ”
Wu Furong said: "Madame hasn't replied to him yet, Madame came today to discuss this matter with you." Do you think you should promise him? ”
Li Qi thought for a while, nodded and said, "I'll see it." The price of stinky tofu is still too high now, I believe that after a while, the price will come down, I think it will sell a hundred Wen at most, anyway, we don't plan to sell stinky tofu, it is better to drop late than early, Yang Lou will reduce the price, Jade Xuan will inevitably follow, we make less money, and the two of them will not have a good time, this business is done, one hundred and five is one hundred and five, but when you ask Mrs. to talk, you have to pretend to be hesitant and embarrassed, talk less about money, talk more about feelings, don't show your feet, If that Zhang Yuanwai knew about the huge profits in this stinky tofu, it would not be a good thing for us and Jade Xuan. ”
Wu Furong nodded and said, "I know this." Well, I'll go to Qinfu early tomorrow morning. Oh, and also, when Madame came today, she saw that the store was being decorated, and by the way, she also mentioned some construction. ”
"Oh? That's a good thing. ”
Li Qi's face was overjoyed, and he said, "What did the lady say?" ”
Wu Furong stroked his beard and told Li Qi all the suggestions that Mrs. Qin had mentioned today.
Although Mrs. Qin doesn't understand business, but after all, she was born in a scholarly family, and she is a nobleman, so her taste is naturally very high.
After hearing this, Li Qi didn't think about it, so he nodded vigorously and said: "Just do what Madame said, and besides, it's rare that Madame is interested in this matter, why don't we take advantage of this matter and pull her into the water." ”
As for the decoration, in fact, Li Qi also gave a rough plan at that time, and he didn't know how to do it, after all, the tastes of the people here must be different from his era, and if he did it according to his era, it might be self-defeating. He originally wanted Wu Furong to take care of it himself, but he didn't expect that Mrs. Qin suddenly stepped in and came in, which really made him excited, Mrs. Qin's taste was not comparable to Wu Furong's.
Wu Furong was stunned for a moment and said, "Pull into the water?" ”
"Well, I mean, why don't we take this opportunity to hand over all the decoration to Madame, since she mentioned Jianyi, then of course she has to be responsible for it to the end, besides, I still have a lot of things to do these days, I can't take care of it at all, and it's Madame's turn to take action." Li Qiyi laughed.
"This --- old man is afraid that Madame will not agree." Wu Furong was embarrassed.
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said: "Uncle Wu, you just tell Madame that now that the opening is imminent, both of us have a lot of things to do, and there are not enough people, let her look at the decoration of the store, remember, when you talk to Madame, you have to show a kind of powerlessness, Madame, she will definitely understand." ”
"That's not good, is it?" Wu Furong said worriedly.
"What's wrong, Madame sits at home all day, and she has to suffocate sooner or later, and it's not a bad thing to come out and walk around, anyway, this matter is so decided, if you don't want to say it, then I'll go." Li Qi said very scoundrelly.
"Don't, let's talk about it." Wu Furong hurriedly stopped, he was afraid of Li Qi's mouth now, if he let Li Qi say it, maybe something would happen again.
"This is what you said yourself, I didn't force you, but if you can't make sense, then I have to go out myself, and I don't believe Mrs. Fumo." Richie said disdainfully.
Wu Furong nodded with a wry smile, and said: "I estimated today, the decoration of the store can be completed in about a month, you see if the opening date is given first." ”
Li Qi said casually: "You and Mrs. can discuss this." Also, I don't think we have much wine in our wine cellar, so we have to prepare the wine first, so that customers don't have to drink it when they come to our store. ”
Although Li Qi hates alcohol and vows not to drink again, this does not mean that he will give up the windfall profits in wine.
I remember when he first crossed over to the Northern Song Dynasty, he was accompanied by wine all day long.
For the wine of the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Qi was most impressed by the difficulty of --- to buy drunk.
The alcohol content is at most eleven or twelve degrees, which is about the same as beer, no wonder Wu Song was able to drink eighteen bowls in a row in Jingyanggang at that time. But not to mention, the drinkers of the Northern Song Dynasty also prefer low-alcohol wines with a mellow taste.
If the alcohol content is low, you can naturally drink more, and the more the guests drink, the more they will naturally earn.
Wu Furong nodded and said, "But I don't know if you plan to go directly to the wine store to buy wine?" Or go to koji to buy koji? ”
Koji? Wine?
Li Qi frowned and said, "I haven't thought about this yet, you tell me about the market first." ”
