Chapter 18 Opening a Store (1)

Regarding the magical logical thinking of the Cheshire Lord, Zhao Gu could only say that he had a feeling of looking forward to sighing, and he couldn't keep up with her rhythm at all. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Lord of Cheshire didn't realize how domineering her thinking was, or she deliberately pretended not to know, in order to make Zhao Gu deflated.

"Okay, no kidding, I'll convey your idea to the old man, I hope it really works, and I will return a complete piece of rivers and mountains to the Great Song Dynasty." Lord Cheshire laughed and said.

"Well, thank you." Zhao Gu said with a smile.

"Isn't it all for Sister Xiaocheng? You don't know, that day Li Hao let out the wind and said that he had killed you, but Sister Xiaocheng cried all night in the boudoir. Lord Cheshire waved his hand and said with a heartache on his face.

Zhao Gu was stunned, he didn't expect Su Xiaocheng to care so much about him, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, but he didn't say anything about this matter, but silently kept this kindness in his heart.

He had the heart to inquire with the Lord of Cheshire about his father, whom he had not yet met, but considering that he was at this time and in the calculations of others, even if he found his father, he might still be affected.

For his father's news, Zhao Gu didn't have much memory before, he only remembered that his father went out to find food, and Zhao Gu hid in the house alone, not wanting his father to leave for a while, he was arrested by the government.

He only vaguely heard from the officials, it seemed that his father had also been arrested, but he was not locked in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, it seemed that a mysterious person forcibly took his father away.

After chatting with the Cheshire Lord about the affairs of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures for a while, Zhao Gu got up to say goodbye, and Su Xiaocheng sent him off and left the County Lord's Mansion.

Outside the gate of the county lord's mansion, Su Xiaocheng stopped Zhao Gu, and after hesitating for a moment, Su Xiaocheng blushed and said, "You have to make good use of the money that the county lord gave you, otherwise it will ......." ”

"How about that?" Zhao Gu laughed.

"Or I'll beat you. Hmph, you knocked me with an iron lock, don't think I forgot. Su Xiaocheng glanced at him and said with a lot of charm.

"Huh? I know. ”

Su Xiaocheng was satisfied at this time, and waved his hand: "You go, remember to come and sit when you have time, the county lord and I like to listen to you." ”

"Okay."

Bidding farewell to Su Xiaocheng, Zhao Gu walked slowly and returned to the small courtyard.

Along the way, Zhao Gu was thinking about the way to 'save money' that the Cheshire Lord said.

He is not an unsympathetic person, and the meaning of the Cheshire Lord has been made so clear, that is, he wants him to make a career to prove Su Xiaocheng's vision.

And what is the most effective way to prove a man? Of course, it's money.

This is also the reason why the Lord of Cheshire directly gave him a thousand guan, and she indirectly gave Zhao Gu the capital to do business.

In fact, when it comes to making money, no one is not enthusiastic, and who doesn't like money? Zhao Gu had this plan before, if he wanted to live in the Great Song Dynasty, money was indispensable, but he had been busy dealing with Li Hao and had no time, but now that he was free, he also felt that he had put this matter on the agenda.

Maybe Su Xiaocheng guessed his mind, or maybe the Lord of Cheshire guessed his mind, and this thousand yuan appeared at the right time, which invisibly helped.

Now all he has to think about is how to use this money to make more money.

The economic environment of the Great Song Dynasty was actually very relaxed, and the imperial court encouraged the common people to do business, resulting in an unprecedented prosperity of industry and commerce in the Great Song Dynasty, far superior to that of other dynasties in history.

Starting a business here, for Zhao Gu, the difficulty is almost nothing, as long as he casually takes out some things that the Great Song Dynasty does not have in the later generations and sells them, and then uses some promotional techniques in later generations to publicize, it will properly become a commercial myth.

But this method also has its drawbacks, that is, it is too eye-catching, and it will be remembered by many people, which is not the result that Zhao Gu wants.

He was lazy by nature and didn't want to cause trouble because of money, so after thinking about it for a while, Zhao Gu decided to do his duty.

Traditional business is inseparable from food, clothing, housing and transportation, among which housing and transportation are not something that can be done in a short time, so Zhao Gu just gave up decisively after just having an idea.

In the end, Zhao Gu decided to work food and clothing.

Although these two things seem a little monotonous, if they are done well, they can also be full of tricks.

In this era, men and women are not kissed, and it is difficult to implement his idea of selling clothes.

After all, no matter how beautiful his clothes are, those female customers will be embarrassed to come forward to buy them, and female customers are precisely the most turbulent wave of people buying clothes.

After thinking about it again, Zhao Gu decided to open a restaurant first.

Don't underestimate a small restaurant, although it looks small and cheap, if it is famous, the daily traffic is amazing, and the income of that day should not be underestimated.

It's like a small restaurant outside the gate of Zhao Gu's previous life community, the husband and wife who opened the store fried a good dish, and they were very busy every meal, and some people even ordered food from them a day in advance, and the profit in it can be imagined.

Zhao Gu decided to follow the example of the couple and open a restaurant that was open during the day.

As for whether the restaurant will continue to operate jointly or develop a food street after it is opened, it can only depend on the situation.

Just do it, Zhao Gu immediately turned around in Kaifeng City, while secretly choosing a suitable place to open a store, while paying attention to the large and small restaurants in Kaifeng City.

After observation, Zhao Gu found that at this time, the cooking techniques of the restaurants in the Great Song Dynasty were still mainly steaming, and the very common skill of 'stir-frying' in later generations was monopolized by some big restaurants, and few people could learn it.

This is an opportunity!

Zhao Gu made up his mind, and finally chose the address of the hotel on a street not far from the North City Gate.

The reason why he chose this place is because of the huge flow of people here, and the flow of people means that the flow of customers is large, as long as his restaurant really tastes good, business will not be worried.

Moreover, the housing prices in Beicheng are relatively low, which is suitable for early start-ups. Although a thousand yuan is a lot, Zhao Gu has too many things to buy, and he can't afford to waste it wantonly.

After walking around the street, after inquiring, Zhao Gu found the owner of one of the shops and bought his shop for five hundred yuan.

This shop is different from other shops, it is a small courtyard behind it, and behind the small courtyard is a two-story small attic, with a total of two halls and three bedrooms, although the area is not large, but it is not a problem to live in.

The reason why Zhao Gu took a fancy to this place was precisely because of the small attic behind the shop, he did not have his own house in Kaifeng City, and he could not always live in the abandoned courtyard of Li Danran, the attic behind this shop could be used to live.

After buying the shop, Zhao Gu found a few helpers, cleaned the shop and the small building inside and out, bought some furniture, bought some flowers and plants, etc., and his new store (home) was completely completed.

The two dogs and the three of them were notified, and the four of them had dinner in their new home that night, and drank until late before going to sleep.

The next day, Zhao Gu went to the street to buy a complete set of kitchen utensils, bought eight sets of tables, chairs and benches, and shipped them back to the new store.

After collecting these things, it was already the middle of the day, and Zhao Gu rushed to the grain store non-stop and bought a large number of ingredients and seasonings.

At this point, Zhao Gu's preliminary preparations for opening a store are completed, just waiting for the signboard to be hung up and welcome guests to the door.
