Banniang is actually very anxious, but there are a lot of things in her family these days, one after another, first her grandmother's ninetieth birthday, then Liuniang's marriage, and then Zijing and Lu Siniang's marriage, which is a major event in the family, so she said: "I asked the third sister to plan alone, this is really not what I should do, and when the third aunt is gone, the things in the restaurant will be taken over by Chang'an, and I don't have to stare at it every day, and the rest of the time, let's think about how to open the woodware shop." However, there are many preparations for this in advance, and the first thing is that there must be carpenters and lacquer masters. Second, we have to have shops and workshops. Thirdly, we have to have a timber purchase channel, and these two are solved, and our wood shop can be opened. And either you don't do it, you have to do it, you have to do it well. Now it is important to have a large store with a suitable location, which also takes time to plate. ”

Wu Sanniang smiled: "Do you think I've been idle these days? Let's talk about the shop first, I have prepared it in the morning, the alley east of Guangci Temple, where all the rich families live, there are many shops along the street, and the popularity is also strong. It just happened that there was a shop to sell in the previous paragraph, and the price was moderate, so I went to talk to the tooth man, and I had already bought it, and it cost a total of 460 yuan, a total of eight open shops, with a small yard in the back, which can be used as a warehouse, and can also live in a guy to watch the store. As for the workshop, I am also following your nearby requirements, in the east of the city to buy a three-entry compound, although it is a little dilapidated, but the place is big enough, the workshop is enough. We are not here to live at home, and when the time comes, we can do it with a little trimming. ”

"Then Uncle Qiao, have you talked about it?" Banniang saw that the shop and workshop were settled, and the rest was a human matter, so she asked.

"I'm doing things, you're still not at ease? The lacquer master is indispensable," Wu Sanniang glanced at her, "Uncle Qiao has already said that the business of our lacquer box, he only handed over the big apprentice to do it, and Brother Qiao also watched from the side, and there was no big problem." Uncle Qiao listened to your meaning a few years ago, and recruited a few apprentices, and he himself brought a few more apprentices to take care of the work of our carpentry shop. And I also talked to him according to what you said before, usually the salary is fifty times a month, and the apprentices are five times a month, this price is high enough, and then calculate Uncle Qiao's dividend. Uncle Qiao didn't want this bonus yet, saying that we had helped the Qiao family a lot. Only I took what you said to persuade us, our friendship is one thing, business is a long-term thing, the so-called business in business, this dividend is also what Uncle Qiao deserves. And you also said that all of our family goods will be branded with the name of Qiao's lacquer when the time comes, dividends or something, Uncle Qiao may not be fancy it, but this name of Qiao's lacquer is hitting Uncle Qiao's heart, how can he not be? Therefore, this item can be regarded as a solution. But it's a carpenter, it's a difficult thing, I don't know anyone in this area, but I have to think about it. ”

Banniang has to admire Wu Sanniang's ability to do things, she has done both the two important ones, and the rest is the problem of the carpenter master and the purchase channel.

Then he took Wu Sanniang's words: "Master carpenter, I'll find a way, my sixth sister's dowry when she got married, all of them were made by a carpenter master in a village called Guzhuang Liu in the south of the city, the sixth sister's dowry family, you can also see, that workmanship, Mannan Fengcheng can't find a second one, the master also has a son, and the craftsmanship is also very good, and now he is working in the woodwork shop of Li Yuanwai's house. I went to find Uncle Liu's father and son. However, it is not enough to have this father and son, Uncle Liu is not as good as Uncle Qiao, he has accepted so many apprentices, and the ancestors and grandchildren of Uncle Qiao have a workshop to help your family do the box business, and the manpower is enough. Uncle Liu and Second Brother Liu even if they come to our carpentry shop, we have to recruit some more carpentry masters, this, the third sister is still up to you. ”

Wu Sanniang said with a smile: "Cheng, I don't understand the wood industry after all, and I can only give you ten hands and run some chores." In fact, she also wondered in her heart, Banniang is just a scholarly young lady, how to start a business, but better than her generation of business, and, woodware, how Banniang understands so clearly, looking at her usual talk about wood and woodware, it is not worse than the wood business for decades.

However, there are some things that should be asked, and some things that are not easy to ask, and Wu Sanniang is just thinking about it in her heart.

After thinking about it, he said: "People's affairs, it is not difficult to solve, as long as we can afford the price, we can get people, Nanfeng is not successful, there are Jianchang Army and Linchuan, that is, our entire Jiangnan Road is not successful, and the Great Song Kingdom, I am not afraid of finding people, but the source of timber is a problem, what is not better than anything else, you also said, the wood is not good, it is to smash your own signboard." But our family is in the gold and silver business, and we are really not familiar with the wood industry, even my father, and I can't find a suitable old relationship to find a way, this, we have to find our own way. ”

Banniang smiled: "It's not difficult, if you have money, you won't have to worry about not being able to do business." It's just that we can't find it for a while, and we can still take Guan Pu's means, but the cost is higher, and it is only expedient, not a long-term solution. But with Guan Pu taking the lead, you can have the opportunity to establish your own purchase channels, and then, what I ultimately think is that if we want to do better than others, the wood must be better than others, but good wood, most of them are not produced in our Great Song Dynasty, that is, we have in the Great Song Dynasty, and the quantity is limited, and how much can fall into our hands? Therefore, this source of goods will eventually have to find a way from other countries. Didn't my third uncle go to Ren Zhizhou in Fuzhou? Now the largest port is Mingang in Fuzhou, and I will see if we can connect with those maritime merchants through the relationship of the third uncle, and when the time comes, we can not only do the wood business, but also the wood business of raw materials. ”

Speaking of this, Banniang imagined the prospect, and her face was full of brilliance: "Third sister, do you know what business is the best to do?" ”

Wu Sanniang said with a smile: "The business that no one else can do, or the business that has not yet been done, you can do the first one, that is the best business." ”

Banniang hit the festival: "Yes, the third sister is extraordinary, it is this truth." If we can find a way to get good timber from abroad, then we are the first one, even if someone sees the profit behind and follows it, we have made enough money, and even if they keep up, we are not afraid, long before them, we have paved the way for sales, and have a stable source of customers. That's not what I'm really worried about right now. ”

"Then what are you worried about?" Sanniang said.

Banniang shook her head, all the business with great profits, the world will inevitably rush to it, money is easy to fight, but there must be a life to fight, if there is a strong background to grab business, I am afraid that they will have to avoid the road, in the end, they do not have a hard enough backstage, but this is no way now, there must be a road in front of the car to the mountain, life is destined to die one day, is it because of this, not to live?

He smiled and said, "It's useless to talk about this now, you'll know later." Now we just have to set up the workshop and open the shop. By the way, that shop, when our family sends away the third aunt and Sister Yunxian, you can find a time and take me to have a look. That shop has to be decorated according to my wishes. When it's pretended, third sister, I'll let you see a woodware shop that is different from any of our Great Song Kingdom now. ”

Wu Sanniang knew that Banniang looked lively and jumpy, but in fact she was a person who never talked nonsense, but whatever she said, she must be able to do it. What's more, the set of furniture patterns that Banniang helped her make at the beginning, and the furniture made out of it, is really refreshing, and even his father said that the exquisiteness, even if it is taken to the capital, is not inferior. smiled and said: "Nacheng, I am also waiting for our little eighth sister to open my eyes as a sister." ”

After finishing the matter, Banniang asked her godfather and godmother how the health of Master Wu and Mrs. Wu was, Wu Sanniang replied with a smile, and when she saw that the time was not early, she said goodbye and left.

Banniang went to the front hall again and asked Chang'an how the business was in the restaurant these days.

Chang'an said with a smile: "Because of the wedding banquet of the sixth lady in the house, there are a lot of people who come to try it now, although the seventeenth prince has to ask someone to send chili peppers every day, but it has to be used up every day, and there is one piece, the wild meat made at the wedding banquet of the sixth lady last time, now the guests ask a lot, but we don't have these goods in the store, so that many guests are disappointed, Miss Eight, you see, can we add a few game?" ”

Banniang thought about it for a while, and said, "Discuss this with your Master Wang." By the way, what is the feedback from the guests on the rice wine sent by the Magushan Wang's family? ”

Chang An smiled back: "Okay, the rice wine is very sweet and sour, and the recent introduction of several desserts is also very popular with female customers, so now there are many female customers in our restaurant." ”

Banniang said: "Then when you go back to the Wang family and send rice wine again, you discuss with the Wang family, after all, the wine is also sent, and then they will help us buy some game and send it together, so that you don't have to go to the market to buy it yourself, as for the price, you look at it, just a little, we want to have good goods." ”

Chang'an saw that he was more and more trusted by Banniang, and now that the almost everything in the restaurant was in his hands, he was naturally full of thoughts about doing errands well and not disappointing his son-in-law and Miss Ba.
