When I entered the store, I saw Master Song personally directing the servants there, and when I saw them, I greeted them very warmly.

"The old man has already told you, you must go tonight! All four of them are coming, and no one is absent, right? ”

"Ah, Master Song, one of our partners has gone back to Kyoto beforehand, so we definitely won't be able to make it tonight, just the three of us, the three of us must be here."

Chang Yu explained.

"Why did you go back all of a sudden?"

"It's nothing, it's just that there's something to deal with."

Wei Lingmao said.

"Okay, it's okay, three is three, I told Miss Gu earlier, tonight, I also invite my hard-won daughter to have dinner with you once."

"That's our pleasure."

Gu Chao said polite words.

"So what are we here to help today?"

At this time, the leap shopkeeper came out and interjected.

"There aren't enough people draining oil today, why don't you?"

"What do you say, this is a distinguished guest I invited from the Kiyotaru Pavilion, how can I let them drain the oil? I called them to give me ideas. ”

The leap shopkeeper listened to it and left with a haha.

Gu Chao took the initiative to ask

"Then Master Song, what do you want us to do for you?"

"We have also been inspected by the government in the past, and we know that if someone comes to see my family's business, what they pay attention to, but although I have a clear conscience, I am afraid that there will be villains secretly harassing ah, those jewelry shops, pawnshops, even if I am afraid, these food, they send people in to make things, and give people food and death, then the sin is great."

"Huh? You know these routines so well, could it be that you have encountered them? ”

"I've encountered it, but the most unlucky thing is the rice merchant who competed with the Li family before, they were planted by the Li family for their lives, and they are gradually lonely, I'm afraid that they will repeat their old tricks."

"What are your food-related shops?"

"There is this oil shop, there is also a seasonal vegetable and new fruit shop, and I have opened a restaurant with others, but the business is not very good, and I plan to withdraw from them this year."

"If you have to give, you will have to get, Master Song, are you willing to give up?"

"Oh? At the moment of the big event, I am naturally willing, could it be that you mean that you want me to close these shops and let my subordinates go back to rest to prevent thieves from doing tricks? ”

"No, Master Song, your shops are frequented by the people, if they suddenly close for no reason, the people will definitely talk about it, and when the time comes, what gossip will you hear, isn't it bad for your reputation? left a bad impression on people at the beginning, and the Li family was even more able to make a big fuss. ”

Gu Chao analyzed.

"Yes, and you don't have a person in each shop, no one is guarded, wouldn't it be more convenient for someone to do it."

Wei Linghao added, to his surprise, Gu Chao actually thought of going with him.

"So what should I do?"

"Since this is the case, then send more people to take care of it day and night, and know that the investigation of the history of salt is completed."

Chang Heal came up with an idea.

But this idea just came out, and it was also refuted, Master Song wiped his sweat and said.

"We don't have so much manpower and energy, if we force more work, the guys will complain, if we recruit new people, I don't know the details, and I can't use it with confidence."

Gu Chao didn't know much about these business things, so he didn't know what to do.

Wei Lingmao clasped his chest with both hands and said.

"It's necessary to close the store, but you have to give a reason, and you can't close it all, you have to turn everyone's attention to other things."

Gu Chao listened with relish, Chang Yue was half unconvinced and half curious, and Song Zhicheng listened to his confident words, and felt that these three people were masters, so he humbly asked.

"First of all, the vegetable and fruit shop must be closed, and this reason is also easy to find, let's just say that the epidemic in Qingcheng County has just passed, and the previous suppliers and merchants have sold their goods to others, and you have no supply for a while, and the little thing before the epidemic has long been rotten."

Master Song said.

"Haha, that's rotten."

"That's better, when the time comes, throw out those rotten fruits and rotten leaves, and let everyone know that your store can't be opened for a while."

"Yes, so what's next? Is it necessary to focus on the oil shop, so that everyone can feel that I attach importance to the oil shop, and salt is also a similar thing, so that the salt history can see my oil shop and know that I am still experienced. ”

"Yes, but it's not."

"What's wrong and isn't, don't sell it, hurry up, Master Song is in a hurry."

"We have to pretend to focus on the restaurant, the Baiwei Building in the county is so prosperous, it is normal for you to start paying attention to it."

"So, what about the oil shop? How do I show that I value restaurants? I was about to quit. ”

"The matter of the restaurant still needs to be considered in the long run, but the oil shop must be guarded, and people must not notice the oil shop, because a barrel of oil is so big, but it is often sold to people only a small can, once someone has done it, not only can not find out which barrel it is, but also affected, it will be the person who buys this barrel of oil all day."

Gu Chao also said when he heard it.

"Yes, and a barrel of oil is so big, it only takes a drop of debris to pollute them, and if someone takes a small bottle of poison, even if there is only one drop in the barrel, all the oil can be added to the thing."

Hearing them say this, Master Song knew the importance and danger of the oil shop, and the oil shop was indeed the most prosperous business he came into.

He must not let the oil shop be tampered with.

Now that the general plan has been decided, only the details are discussed, Chang Yu didn't participate in anything during the whole process, and he didn't know what to say, so he invited himself to help the shopkeeper drain the oil.

Although Gu Chao was curious, she didn't have any big ideas, Ling Zhuo thought about it alone, and she didn't understand the mysteries of these businesses, so she also chose to drain the oil for the leap shopkeeper.

The two were about to leave, but Gu Chao was stopped by Wei Lingmiao.

"Why are they all gone? Gu Chao stayed and listened! I'm too lazy to explain to you later. ”

Chang Yu waved his hand and walked into the backyard alone, while Gu Chao had no choice but to sit back and listen to Wei Lingmiao.

"The current plan is just a prototype, and more details need to be formulated by you and your buddies according to the specific situation of your oil shop and some trends in peacetime."

"Yes, the leap shopkeeper is my good hand, and he knows more about the oil shop than I do, and I'll tell him about it later."

Wei Lingmiao nodded in satisfaction.

"First of all, there must be no change on the surface of the oil shop, and it will continue to operate as usual. When you open a vat of new oil and sell it, do you have beeswax paper? ”

"Yes, if we don't sell new oil, we will seal it with oiled paper, for fear that those little mosquitoes and plant ashes will fall into it."

"From today onwards, you will open a cylinder and sell a cylinder, and you will not have any oil left every day, and the cylinders that are sold out must be cleaned at night."

"This, the oil cylinder has been used for several years, and it is difficult to clean it."

"We have to do it if it's difficult, otherwise it will leave people with a handle, and we can't predict where the enemy will go, so we have to do everything well."
