Chapter 40: Opening
Zhu Yuanyuan was dug out of the warm quilt by the man in black three or four times, Zhu Yuanyuan was very angry, but she couldn't beat the other party, and the other party was not an enemy, so she could only ask this naΓ―ve ghost in a good voice, but fortunately, the other party agreed.
The man in black didn't come again, but Zhu Yuanyuan couldn't sleep, just lying down, listening to the wind getting louder and louder, the weather was getting colder and colder, I don't know how long it took, the cuckoo and the begonias got up, but the sky was still dark and heavy, Zhu Yuanyuan was lying on the bed, and heard the begonias and cuckoos talking in a low voice, it turned out that it was snowing outside.
Anyway, she couldn't sleep, so Zhu Yuanyuan got up.
The sky began to be clear, there was goose feather snow, the roof, and the ground turned white, the white sky and the earth were vast and cold, and the cold wind was like a knife, and the face was painful.
The cold wind and snow did not stop the enthusiasm of the gold shopkeeper, and the preparations for the opening of Zhu's grocery store were in full swing.
What kind of goods does the gold shopkeeper want to buy, Zhu Yuanyuan has a number in her heart, they are all ordinary goods, she didn't think about how much money she could make in the physical store, but she also has to spend expenses to live here, and if she doesn't sell so many goods, it will also arouse suspicion, and the physical store can also be covered up.
Newly opened, how to do some special goods, the most distinctive goods are nothing more than the things in the system store, but, the price of the system store is too high, so expensive, ordinary people will not buy at all, pick and choose, on the hardware store bought a few kitchen knives, scissors, fruit knives, and stoves, when the price was almost not the gold shopkeeper to death.
"What do you say? Four hundred taels for a kitchen knife? Three hundred taels of scissors? Two hundred taels of fruit knives? A thousand taels for the stove? Why don't you grab it? β
Zhu Yuanyuan also felt that the price was too high, her face was a little embarrassed, and she said weakly: "This is the purchase price." β
"What? You, you've been deceived. The golden shopkeeper pointed at Zhu Yuanyuan, and the word fool almost rushed out, but in the end he couldn't help it, "Forget it this time, bring me with you next time, fortunately, I didn't buy many pieces." β
Zhu Yuanyuan replied indiscriminately, how could it be possible to bring someone else to buy things in the system store, the price difference between the two parties is very far, and Zhu Yuanyuan is also very helpless.
Thinking that these things are too expensive, it is estimated that they can't be sold, so Zhu Yuanyuan sent a kitchen knife to Cuihua, but unexpectedly, Cuihua used it to cut the ribs, and with a knife, the cutting board was cut in two, and the blade was inserted into the cooking table, which startled Cuihua, the mother-in-law who washed the vegetables, and the girl who burned the fire.
Then Cuihua excitedly chopped with a kitchen knife, and the pig bones and firewood were chopped to pieces for her, which frightened the mother-in-law and the girl screamed, crying and going to Tongxinyuan to report the news.
Zhu Yuanyuan walked into the kitchen and didn't see Cuihua, only saw chopped ribs and broken pieces of firewood, all of which were neat cuts, and the sharpness of the kitchen knife was beyond her expectations.
Zhu Yuanyuan immediately rushed to the store to find the shopkeeper, the price of kitchen knives, fruit knives, and scissors all rose to 1,000 taels, and the shopkeeper Jin's eyes widened when he heard it, as if he had seen a ghost, his mouth couldn't close, and he didn't have time to say anything, Zhu Yuanyuan ran away with the stove in a hurry.
The shopkeeper Jin felt that the boss who was out of tune at the stall was really tired, and he couldn't figure out the situation, so he had to chase Zhu Yuanyuan and run, wanting to ask her what the hell she was doing.
Zhu Yuanyuan ran to the kitchen and put the burning coals in the stove into the stove, the wall of the stove is very thick, but the inner tank is very small, only half a foot long firewood can be placed, put a few pieces to be full, and then cover the lid, and a pot of water on the seat.
The golden shopkeeper chased to the kitchen and saw a prodigal book, Cuihua was bragging about the sharpness of the kitchen knife with her mother-in-law, and Zhu Yuanyuan was eagerly looking forward to guarding the stove.
The golden shopkeeper showed a strange expression, silently waiting for the results of the furnace trial.
Five minutes later, the water boiled, the temperature of the whole kitchen rose, it became warm and dry, Zhu Yuanyuan asked Cuihua to cook on the stove, an hour later, the dishes were ready, carefully lifted the lid of the stove, the original firewood was still half of the charcoal.
Such an efficient and energy-saving stove sells for a thousand silver coins, Zhu Yuanyuan feels that it is worth the money, and it is very good to use it as a stove in winter.
The golden shopkeeper saw the magic of the stove with his own eyes, and felt that Zhu Yuanyuan was not deceived, and it was indeed worth the price, but when he sold it, the asking price of 2,000 taels was a little expensive, but he still agreed.
The home was invaded again and again, Zhu Yuanyuan had long wanted to buy a weapon for self-defense, but it was too expensive, she couldn't afford it, and now she knew that even the kitchen knife was sharpened like clay, so she immediately bought a half-foot-long short sword for self-defense.
After buying the sword, I was about to quit the system store, and suddenly found a new icon, filling the position of the original bookstore, and I clicked on it to see that it was a ceramic store, and the pots and pans in it were all made of ceramic, as well as porcelain pillows, pottery stools, exquisite teacups, dishes, complete sets, and loose pieces.
Some of them are quite cheap, so Zhu Yuanyuan picked the cheapest dishes and teacups, bought dozens of each, and handed them over to the gold shopkeeper.
Zhu Yuanyuan gave the whole box, she didn't open it at all, and only handed it to the gold shopkeeper to set the price by herself.
The snow had already cleared, and the bright sunshine had eased the winter chill a little, and on the selected day, Zhu's grocery store opened with a string of large firecrackers.
On the opening day of Zhu's grocery store, many people came, all of whom were posted by Zhou Yuerong to people she knew, and those people came for the sake of her or the Han family's face.
A grocery store, still open outside the city, no one expected anything from this store, coming here to go through the motions, just a face-saving gesture, but when they saw the most conspicuous shelves on the bowls, plates, teacups, they were all excited.
"Bring me the bowl."
"The glaze is smooth and soft, and the pattern is exquisite and detailed, which is really a rare treasure!"
"It's as oily as jade, is this really porcelain?"
"It's really porcelain, but it's very technical."
Zhu Yuanyuan doesn't understand porcelain, this is not the same as the bowl she used when she was on earth, there are all kinds of patterns, and it is cheap, the production technology here is rough, these people are full of praise when they see the exquisite porcelain at this time, and half of it is sold at once.
As soon as it opened, it sold a full house, Zhu Yuanyuan was naturally happy, and as soon as she had an idea, she invited them to lunch, and invited them to try a few new dishes.
"Your grandmother told me that the spicy dishes made by your cook are fragrant and spicy, very refreshing, and I regret that I can't eat it, if you invite me to dinner, I won't be polite to you."
This Mrs. Yao is Zhou Yuerong's best friend, and she was the one who helped Zhu Yuanyuan when she moved, and Zhu Yuanyuan just took this opportunity to repay her favor.
Zhu Yuanyuan set up a banquet, Pei Ruolan came out to help entertain with face, no way, most of these are the customers of the Han family, and the people who often come and go, they are all either rich or expensive, she is really afraid that Zhu Yuanyuan's mouth will offend everyone, so how will the Han family gain a foothold in Pingyuan County in the future.
Zhu Yuanyuan didn't know what Pei Ruolan thought, and thought that she knew these people and got together by the way.
The feast is open to two tables, the guests and hosts are happy, several spicy dishes are welcomed by everyone, in the cold weather, eat some spicy dishes, the whole body is warm, so that everyone likes it for the first time.
Before leaving, Zhu Yuanyuan also gave each of them a jar of chili sauce, and Mrs. Yao had an extra set of tea sets, Zhu Yuanyuan chose the cheapest set in the system store, which was regarded as a favor for her, and Mrs. Yao smiled happily.
