Chapter 108: Su Shen came up with an idea
In Meng Zhen's plan, Guo Yang, Guo Song and Yang Dahu must first learn to be buddies, and when they become qualified young men, Meng Hao will arrange for them to learn to be bookkeepers and shopkeepers.
Master Meng Zhen has found them all, in addition to herself, the shopkeeper and the bookkeeper of the grocery store, they can also go over at any time to ask relevant questions.
When they can switch between these three roles at will, Meng Zhen will let them manage one or even many shops alone.
Of course, this will be a relatively long learning curve.
At present, the shopkeeper selected by Meng Zhen is still the shopkeeper Zhao, and the general ledger is still the bookkeeper in the Meng Ji grocery store.
These two people are old men who are loyal to Meng Qingze, as long as they continue to maintain this original intention in the future, Meng Zhen will definitely not treat them badly.
As for Guo Yang and the others, Meng Zhen believed that their growth rate would definitely not be faster than the speed at which she could accumulate wealth, so she was not worried at all that she would have nowhere to place these three people.
***
For more than a month after the opening of Meng Ji Dabu Village, the business of the cloth village has been good.
Approaching the end of the year, many people living in the town and village will also go to the city to purchase, and the rural people like to marry their daughters during this time, so the inventory of Mengji Dabuzhuang was quickly snapped up.
In order to maintain the normal operation of Buzhuang, Meng Zhen asked Yan Zhenwu to go to Fucheng to help her buy goods at the beginning of the month.
By the way, Yan Zhenwu also made up for the few goods that Meng Ji's grocery store lacked.
Before the New Year, these two shops helped Meng Zhen earn a sum of money.
When Meng Zhen was in the year-end general ledger, she laughed at the large string of numbers on the account.
Because of her exceptionally good mood, Meng Zhen not only gave all the members of Meng Ji a gift and dividends according to the deed, but also gave them an extra small amount of silver tickets.
The small amount of silver bills of the guys are all two taels, and the bookkeeper and shopkeeper are all ten taels.
As for Yan Zhenwu and Hao Mengyun, although these two people did not sign a deed with Meng Zhen, the salary that Meng Zhen gave them every month was more generous than any other Meng Ji member.
Even the Boxing Rites and Red Seals, Meng Zhen gave them far more generously than the other Meng Ji members.
The red envelope Meng Zhen gave them one hundred taels of silver, which was the same amount as the amount Su Shen and Meng Qi received.
Boxing Meng Zhen gave them a sheep, half a pig, two chickens, six fish, two bags of japonica rice, two bags of millet, two bags of white flour, two muslin cloths, two jars of good wine, and two jars of white tea.
Others such as pig-killing vegetables, pig blood sausages, frozen tofu, steamed rice cakes, sticky bean buns, steamed steamed buns, scallion oil flower rolls, fried tofu balls, radish balls, pork balls, these Meng Zhen basically prepared something at home, and she also sent a copy to Yan Zhenwu and Hao Mengyun.
Looking at the shopkeeper, the accountant and the guys of the Meng family, the guys only got two muslin cloths and two knives of pork for the New Year, and the bookkeeper and the shopkeeper only took two more cans of white tea and two jars of good wine than the guys.
On the evening of the 29th day of the lunar month, Meng Zhen and Su Shen drove the carriage and took little Meng Qi back to their home in Yulin Village.
Aunt Guo, who hadn't seen them for several days, came to the Meng family as soon as possible, "The three of you can be regarded as returning to the village, and if you don't come back, your aunt wants Ah Yang to go to the county seat again tomorrow to inquire about the news." β
All of Meng Ji's shops were closed yesterday evening, so Guo Yang and the others had already returned to the village together this morning.
As soon as they came back, Aunt Guo began to think about Meng Zhen, Su Shen, and Meng Qi. But these three have not returned for a long time, didn't Aunt Guo gradually start to fidget.
Meng Zhen got out of the carriage wearing a thick sheepskin jacket, and then took little Meng Qi out with her hand, "Let my aunt worry." We wanted to come back in the morning, but before we left, we were stumped by acquaintances in the county, so we stayed in the county for a while. β
The acquaintance in Meng Zhen's mouth is Shen Feng, who finally had a holiday.
As soon as he came out of the academy, he immediately found Su Shen and Meng Hao.
Because his apology was very sincere, Meng Zhen and Su Shen didn't embarrass him anything.
Not only was he not embarrassed, but Meng Zhen even said hello to him in advance, telling him that he had found a shop and would open a restaurant in the county seat after the year.
Shen Feng's understanding of his father is not as superficial as Meng Hao and Su Shen, he doesn't want his friends to be completely compatible with his own father, so he has to partner with Meng Hao.
Of course Meng Hao didn't want to, she opened a shop in order to squeeze the Shen family's Jufu Restaurant, and partnered with Shen Feng... Did she suddenly make a mistake in her brain?
However, Shen Feng also had to do this, he persuaded Su Shen and Meng Hao for several hours, and finally Meng Hao found that it was not early, and they had reached the time when they had to leave, so Shen Feng reluctantly stopped talking.
Unlike Meng Hao's stubbornness of "not wanting to hear Shen Feng's bad ideas at all", Su Shen felt that the proposal of "cooperating with Shen Feng" was actually not completely unacceptable.
When Shen Feng returned to his house in a huff, Su Shen briefly mentioned the pros and cons of this place to Meng Zhen while setting up the car.
"You don't want to cooperate with Shen Feng, it's just that you think that what he represents is actually the Shen family. You don't want to be involved with the Shen family, and you don't want to send your face to others for trampling, I can understand this. β
"On the contrary, Shen Feng's idea is too naΓ―ve, there is a way that 'parents are here, selfless wealth', even if he cooperates with you in his own name, the Shen family, including Master Shen, will still think that you are stained with the light of their Shen family."
"yes, yes, that's what I thought." Meng Hao had a happy expression on her face, "It's a pity that Shen Feng's guy is too stubborn, no matter how I explain it, he still has to open that restaurant with me." β
Su Shen smiled at her, "Actually, I think you can cooperate with him, but it is necessary to be slightly flexible in the way of cooperation." β
"First of all, you definitely can't cooperate with him directly, even if he is in charge of everything, he has always been in contact with you, and he must find someone else who can make Master Shen jealous, such as his mother and uncle, to use as a cover for him. Otherwise, if Master Shen says a word, it is very likely that your restaurant will not be able to open, and the risk you have to take is too great. β
Meng Hao's eyes widened, she felt that Su Shen's idea was simply too bad, uh, it was so good, she couldn't help but want to shoot the case.
