Chapter 18 Five Tea Shops

I don't know how long it took, Xiaolian suddenly sighed, pushed Zhao Yu away, her face was as ashamed as a big red cloth, her chest was thumping, the blood flowed vigorously and pulsated, and her ears and neck all turned red. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Ahem, no one ......is coming", Zhao Jue's expression was also a little embarrassed, when he kissed it, he didn't think about anything in his head, he was out of love, and it was difficult to control himself, so he kissed it directly, where can he manage so much.

However, the place where he lives is secluded, and few people come, so it is okay.

"What did you just say? Miss, what's wrong with her? Zhao Jue broke the embarrassment and asked Xiaolian.

Xiaolian lowered her head and was ashamed for a while before she was willing to speak, and whispered in a mosquito-like voice: "Miss, she has the qualifications to participate in the inheritance of the head of the family...... However, the rules are very unfair...... It's very unfair to the young lady".

Zhao Yu heard this, shook his head, pulled her into the room, poured her a glass of water, and asked Xiaolian to speak carefully.

After listening to it for a long time, Zhao Jue figured out the reason why Xiaolian was in such a hurry, and also knew the predicament that Li Nianxian was facing.

He couldn't help frowning, walking back and forth in the room, and soon, his figure froze, looked at Xiaolian, and said, "Xiaolian, can you let me see the distribution map of the tea shop?" ”。

Xiaolian thought for a while and said, "Miss is probably researching, but I remember most of these tea shops, I'll draw them for you."

As Li Nianxian's right-hand man, Xiaolian is no stranger to the industrial distribution of Huaning City, picking up paper and pen, drawing while recalling, and soon, a simple sketch of the distribution of Lifu's industry in Huaning City appeared.

The area is roughly marked, each of which is thirty, and there are all kinds of them, and the whole picture is plump up under Xiaolian's pen.

After Zhao Zhu saw it, he was more clear about the industries in the prosperous area of Huaning City, but he basically didn't look at the suburbs and the towns on the edge, and after looking at it for a while, if there was anything unclear, he asked Xiaolian a few words.

"This town, called Wuzhen, has a population of about seven or eight thousand...... This town is a slippery town, and the population is slightly less than that of Wuzhen......."

In front of the sketch, Xiaolian explained, and before she knew it, it was already noon.

After two hours of questioning and listening, Zhao Jue had a vague understanding of the situation in the surrounding towns, and he knew a little bit about the approximate population size, business situation, and customs in the towns.

Looking at Xiaolian's haggard and worried cheeks, Zhao Jue couldn't bear it, accepted the drawings, and said softly: "You go to dinner, this kind of thing, it's useless to be anxious."

Xiaolian's eyes were slightly red, and she said in a low voice: "Zhao Zhu, I grew up with Miss, since I was very young, I have been by Miss's side, Miss, she is very good to me, just like a sister, she treats me as a sister, you must help her ......."

"Silly girl, you still need to say this...... Don't cry, I feel distressed when I look at it", Zhao Yu stretched out his hand and wiped the corners of Xiaolian's eyes: "Don't worry, even if it's for you, in the past fifteen days, I will do my best to do something, you tell Miss, if you win this time, you can give more dowry."

When Xiaolian listened, she blushed, glared at Zhao Jue, and said angrily: "When did you still say such things?" Heartless! ”。

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Did I say something wrong?" It's fair, I'm a poor boy who made a fortune, and I'm counting on you for a dowry."

Xiaolian was even more angry, and stretched out her hand to fight, Zhao Yu laughed: "If you punch, you will give ten taels of silver!" ”。

After fighting for a while, Zhao Jue comforted Xiaolian a few words, and she finally left.

Looking at Xiaolian's much more relaxed back when she came, the smile on Zhao Qi's face slowly disappeared.

He walked back to his room, unfolded the sketch on the table, and studied it carefully.

In the prosperous area of Huaning City, about half of the shops are about fifteen, and the tea shops in the suburbs are about ten, and the markets in these two places rely on the people of Huaning City, and the consumer groups are basically fixed, all of whom are people near the tea shops.

Outside the city, in the township on the edge of Huaning City, there are about five tea shops, compared with the people in the city, the market in the countryside is very small, and the villagers will only buy a little on the New Year's festival or the important day of weddings and funerals.

Although the Great Song Dynasty is as prosperous and rich as it is in the history books, it is one of the few good years in Chinese history, but this is relative, and in essence, its economy is still very fragile.

In this dynasty, inherited for a hundred years, it still has the most distinctive nature of the feudal dynasty - the monopoly of land.

Most of the farmland and manors are in the hands of the landlords, and the peasants work for them and become tenants, and they farm the land and give the landlords and manor owners a part of the rent, and the rest is their own.

Nowadays, the people of Wufu are abundant, the wind and rain are smooth, and there is a lot of grain, and after paying the rent, they still have a surplus and can eat enough.

But after all, it can't be considered rich.

Occasionally drink tea, listen to a play, can still bear, if the peasants live like those people in the city, I am afraid that they will feel that they are losers, and the people in the town are more stingy.

Based on this situation, generally speaking, the business in the fringe area can only be done with a slight margin, with a meager surplus, which is difficult to compare with the tea shops in the city.

However, the tea shops in the city, the consumer group is basically fixed, and the business that can be expanded is limited, no matter what method is used, the profits that can be increased will not be too much.

On the other hand, in the towns and villages on the edge of the city, farmers have long been extremely conservative in their consumption concepts, resulting in poor business sales, as long as this deadlock is broken, consumption will soon be boosted, and business income will be boosted rapidly.

Zhao Jue's fingers moved on the sketch, clicked the direction of the city center, slowly moved to the suburbs, and finally, stopped at the towns, he frowned, and whispered to himself: "This competition, how can you counterattack......

At the same time, in the private room in a luxury restaurant, Li Shanlong waved away the dancing girl with warm nephrite, stood up, raised his wine glass, with a smile on his face, and said quite excitedly: "Qin Lao, Du Lao, Wang Lao, Chen Lao, and a few brothers who look up to me, from tomorrow, it will all depend on your means, this glass of wine, I, Li Shanlong, respect you!" ”。

With a bang, the four old stewards and the three middle-aged stewards stood up together, picked up their wine glasses, and said with a smile: "Young Master Shanlong is polite."

Li Shanlong was full of spirits and let everyone return to their seats, he couldn't suppress his excitement, and said with a red face: "At this time yesterday, I was still complaining about grandpa's confusion, thinking that he was going to give that girl a chance, but now that I think about it, this is grandpa deliberately hitting that girl's arrogance, isn't she unconvinced?" This time, let's see what else she has to say! ”。

Qin Lao, who was sitting next to Li Shanlong, smiled proudly, stretched out his chopsticks and took a sip of food slowly, before he said: "Young Master Shanlong, as the eldest son of the third generation of the Li family, it is natural for him to inherit this family business, so Li Nianxian has a few talents, so he thinks about it, and when this competition is over, see what face she has in the Li family?" I can only obediently hand over the property."

Du Lao also smiled: "The woman is in charge, my old Du has never heard of it, her little cleverness, may be able to control it for a while, but once she encounters pressure, she is sure that she can't do it, thirty tea shops, divided and far away, she can't take care of it, this time give her a lesson, let her know her own catties."

"What Du Lao said is that from the city to the outside of the city, there are so many shops, she doesn't care about the end, maybe she has to give up half of the tea shops, this competition, she doesn't want to win."

"Yes, she's a woman after all, a little worse than us, she doesn't have three legs, she can't cover it."

Those middle-aged housekeepers were a little less qualified, and they could only occasionally say a few ridiculous words with them, but they didn't take Li Nianxian seriously.

Between eating and drinking, these people talked a lot about how Li Shanlong was wise and martial, and in the future, he would revitalize the Li family, expand the territory, and unify Huaning Yunyun.

Li Shanlong was already excited, drank some wine, and listened to the crowd's praise, and felt more and more fluttering as if flying, and in his heart, Li Nianxian was far behind.

He drunkenly raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Nianxian girl likes to operate, and I, Li Shanlong, became the head of the family, so I sent her a few shops and let her go to the town on the edge to play in the mud!" ”。

Qin Lao and the others laughed: "Yes, give her five shops and let her deal with those mud-legged people."

For these experienced old stewards, the concept that the tea shops in the countryside are only symbolic decorations with low profits and poor environment, which is deeply rooted and has been known since childhood.

How about five tea shops? Even if there are ten more, it won't attract their attention.
