Hearing Li Zhuoyue's name, not only Wu Sanniang, but also Banniang's face showed a look of surprise.

"Sanniang?" Lu Niangzi outside the door whispered again.

Wu Sanniang said in a deep voice: "What did you ask clearly?" ”

In fact, Li Zhuo came not long after Wu Sanniang and Banniang entered the private room, Lu Niangzi naturally refused his request to see, but Li Zhuo is a very persistent person, for a long time, Lu Niangzi felt that he would not let him see, he always had a way to see Wu Sanniang, especially to go elsewhere, it is better to let him see here, if there is anything to say, Li Zhuo looked at a talent, and he didn't look like a fool. And the eight mothers in the house are not outsiders.

It's a pity that Lu Niangzi didn't know that Wu Zeng's two families were going to get married, otherwise she would have borrowed a few more guts, and she wouldn't dare to pass a word to Li Zhuo at this time. How could anyone meet his ex-fiancé in front of his future sister-in-law?

"I didn't say it, I just wanted to see the third lady, and I have been talking to me for a long time."

Wu Sanniang didn't know what Li Zhuo meant by seeing her, but she definitely couldn't see people. Then he said, "No." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Li Zhuo say outside: "I asked to see Miss Three, I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to say sorry to Miss Three in person." ”

It's been a year since the two quit their relatives, so what's sorry at this time?

But Wu Sanniang didn't want to say more, and when she heard him say this, she said in the house: "Li Gongzi is not sorry for me, this is serious, if Gongzi is fine, please go back, I still have guests here, it is really inconvenient to meet with Gongzi." ”

"Yes." Li Zhuo outside sighed, and finally answered. After a while, Wu Sanniang and Banniang thought that he had left, but they heard him say again, "I heard that Tairitai intends to develop in Fuzhou and Quanzhou Prefectures, if the third lady has this plan, she should not be cautious." ”

What does this mean?

Wu Sanniang was about to ask, so she heard Lu Niangzi outside the house say, "Master Li walks slowly." ”

Wu Sanniang opened the door and only saw Li Zhuo's back.

"Prudent? Eighth sister, what do you mean by this Li Zhuo? ”

Banniang shook her head, but Li Zhuo could say this sentence deliberately, it couldn't be just casual nonsense, there must be a reason.

Wu Sanniang thought for a while, but she didn't know the point, Banniang smiled: "Sister Wu, don't think about it, you have the idea of opening branches in the southeast states in front of you, but now you don't say that you want to expand to the north?" It doesn't matter what Li Zhuo said about it. ”

Wu Sanniang thought about it, so she threw it away.

Seeing that it was not early, Banniang said that she would let Wu Sanniang go back to greet Master Wu and Mrs. Wu on her behalf, so she said goodbye and went back, and because Sheraton Restaurant was very close to Tai Ruixiang, she simply went to the restaurant and walked around.

Because of the big sales of mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, he made a lot of money, and this time Lu Changan made preparations in advance, so that the master in charge of pastry in the kitchen studied a lot of tricks.

And in the first half of the year, the oven that Banniang asked them to try had already been completed, used to bake moon cakes, and tried to make a lot better, which was much better than last year's pot baking and steaming, I don't know how much better it tasted. Because of this, there are also people who make this moon cake elsewhere, and the moon cakes that come out of their shop are in front of other houses. There is no way to compare with any of them, so if you think about it, the money you can make on moon cakes this year will naturally be much stronger than last year's.

In addition to Lu Changan and Ah Lan in the Sheraton shop, there are profit dividends at the end of the year, and everyone has a few masters, so not to mention Banniang, now the restaurant is also full of ideas to fight for more money for the shop, so that at the end of the year, everyone can get a lot of money, and it is not difficult to support their families. Those shop guys, although there are no dividends, but everyone has a red envelope a year ago, and those who are serious and diligent in doing things are even more full of red envelopes, so Sheraton is up and down, and it is rare to have a heart.

Banniang came back this time, and found Lu Changan to talk about moon cakes, so she smiled and said: "I have to prepare earlier than last year, and I also tasted the few things you sent to my house last time, the taste is very good, and the family likes it, but the filling and fancy, I think I can use more heart." Of course, these are not difficult to solve, but what I want to ask now is, have you figured out how to sell it, is it the same as last year, or do you have any new ideas? ”

Lu Chang'an said modestly: "What the villain wants to discuss with Miss Eight is exactly this, but the villain is afraid that what he thinks is wrong, so Miss Eight listens, if there is anything wrong, please point out the villain." ”

Lu Changan is a proper person, and he is also very shrewd, after working in the shop for a long time, Banniang feels more and more that Lu Qiqi sent him to the shop to do things, which is definitely not what he said, it is as simple as assigning someone to help.

I'm afraid that Lu Seventeen has long seen Lu Changan's talent, but he was an idle person in the Lu Mansion before, where is there any serious thing to hand over to his little servant?

"Miss Eight, last year it was only sold in our own shop, so although the sales were good, to be serious, it was actually very limited, after all, there were only a small number of diners in the shop who came to eat. Although there are some dim sum shops and even restaurants that have followed the trend this year, we are now baked, and the taste and fancy are incomparable to others, so the villain thinks, it is better for us to sell the moon cakes made into the dim sum shop, and sell them by the dim sum shop. In addition, we also leave some varieties in the shop to sell, but only sell those that are not available outside, the appearance is better, the fillings are also the best, and the price is higher. In this way, it will not push the real decent and willing to spend money customers to other houses, what does Miss Eight think of the villain's idea? ”

This idea is indeed very good, take the wholesale route, small profits and quick turnover, first occupy the market, others just want to sit big, but also can't bypass the reputation of the Sheraton shop. You know, Sheraton was the first to launch moon cakes, and now they sell them baked, the color and flavor are incomparable to other families, and there is no such technology in the dim sum shop, so they are naturally willing to sell Sheraton's moon cakes.

And their own shop takes the boutique route, so although it is wholesaled to others, but rich people want to buy it on behalf of their own identity, they will still come to Sheraton, which puts high-end customers tightly in their own hands, that is, wholesale part of the product, does not affect their own profits, on the contrary, it can better launch Sheraton's brand.

Banniang smiled and nodded: "Your idea is very good." However, if you wholesale to the dim sum shop, you have to pack it well, and you have to put the word "Sheraton" on it. ”

"This, those dim sum shops are just afraid of unwillingness."

Lu Changan hesitated.

"No, they'll be glad to do so." Banniang shook her head with a smile, "As for why, you want to go yourself." ”

Lu Changan thought for a while, and laughed: "It's still Miss Eight thoughtful, in the final analysis, we are a cook, and there is no fundamental conflict of interest with the dim sum shop. ”

Seeing that he was a little thorough, Banniang was also very happy, so she talked about how to sell the boutiques in her shop.

This Lu Changan has thought about it many times in his heart, and when he saw Banniang asking, he said: "I want to temporarily set up a piece in the front hall to sell moon cakes, and the guy is also looking for a long spirit, with a sharp mouth, all the styles are ordered and carefully decorated in lacquer boxes, so that not only do you eat at home, but also take it out and give it away, which is also decent." Nowadays, this moon cake is only available in Nanfeng City, but there are many relatives and friends in Nanfeng City, and there are many relatives and friends in other cities. In addition, I also thought that in January before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, anyone who has a meal of 30 times in our shop will be given a box of moon cakes in the shop, so that people only ordered more than 20 meals, for the moon cakes, it is possible to make up 30 times, and it can also increase some income for the restaurant, Miss Eight thinks I am right? ”

Banniang praised: "Yes, you have thought very thoughtfully." So be it. The matter of the lacquer box will be handed over to me, and I will definitely drive out a batch before August. Hello use. ”

If there are enough people in Qiao's lacquer box workshop, there should be no problem in making some temporarily, but this matter has to be discussed with Wu Sanniang. After all, the Qiao family's workshop is now only supplied to Wu Sanniang.

No matter how much money she is fighting for now, she has Zeng Wulang's share, and Wu Sanniang is her future fifth sister-in-law, so she will not object to it.

Lu Changan got Banniang's affirmation, and Banniang asked him to let it go, saying that he was not afraid that he would make a mistake, but that he would have no idea. If people dare to think and act, even if they are the slightest bit wrong, it is inevitable, and it is good to avoid it in the future.

Lu Changan felt that the biggest luck in his life was to follow a master like Lu Qiqi, and meet a boss like Banniang who was enlightened and knew how to delegate power to ask the people below to do things. After the matter was discussed, Lu Changan had no intention of leaving, so Banniang asked, "But what else do you have to say?" You are the shopkeeper in my shop, and you have something to say about business. ”

"Yes, there is one thing, the villain has been thinking about it for a long time, but he has never known what Miss Eight means, so he didn't mention it. Since the young lady asked, the villain said directly. ”

Banniang held the pot and made tea for him, Lu Changan was flattered and hurriedly took it, and then said: "The villain thinks, now our shop, in the restaurant in Nanfeng City, is the Ruyi Building that used to be the first song and a finger is not comparable, as long as you can afford to spend money, when it comes to eating, it must be the first choice for our Sheraton, it was okay earlier, but now the private room in the shop is becoming more and more nervous, if you don't book in advance, there is no place to come, you can only push customers to other people's homes." Not to mention the private room, that is, in the front hall, each table has to rotate a few seats a day, for this, I recruited a lot of guys in the spring, and Miss Eight also knows, in order to wait for the future to open a branch shop, people can save a lot of worry. A few little masters in the kitchen have no problem with their craftsmanship now, especially the craftsmanship of Master Xiao Zhao, in the words of Master Wang, is not below him. With people, other things are easy to do, our funds are not tight, there is no need to push so many guests every day, that is not the customer, it is all money. The villain thought, it is better to open another branch. What does Miss Eight think? ”

At this time, the branch shop will be opened, and with Sheraton's current reputation, it is indeed time, Lu Changan said that he has also prepared the manpower in advance, and Banniang has no reason to object. In fact, she had this idea before, but she was busy with the woodwork business before, and then her grandmother was seriously ill and held funerals in a row, but it was delayed.

"Two shops, are you confident that you can take care of both? If it can't be done in one fell swoop, I think it's better not to do it, but if you want to do it, you have to do it well, at least not worse than Sheraton today. ”

Lu Changan said: "Although the villain is not talented, Sheraton has also helped Miss Eight take care of it until now, and I am sure that there is it." Otherwise, I wouldn't have found Miss Eight to say this idea today. But no matter how strong the villain is, he is just one person, opening a new shop, the villain knows that Miss Eight is busy, and he can't take care of it, the villain in front must be single-handedly organized, and the villain also knows that it is inconvenient for Miss Eight to go out these days, and I heard Ah Lan say that Miss Eight has to go to Quanzhou these days. The villain thinks, when the new shop is opened, the villain will take care of it for a while, and then if Miss Eight has a capable person, it is good to be the shopkeeper in the past, if not, we also have a good ability in the shop, and when the time comes, one will come up and go as the shopkeeper, so the guys feel that there is hope for doing things in our shop, as long as they are serious and willing to work, there is hope, and it is also a good thing to be in the shop. Miss Eight thinks? ”

Banniang nodded secretly, this Lu Changan is scheming and calculating, and he is not greedy, it is really a rare help, so he smiled and said: "Just do what you say, what is needed ahead, you just need to take the money from Ah Lan, I only have one request, and the accounts are clear." When you have to be free, pay attention to the right shop and decoration things, I will make a request to you when the time comes, and you will renovate according to the requirements. As for what you said about finding a new shopkeeper to be responsible, I don't think it's better to do this, and the two shops will be handed over to you in the future. But you're right, you're not three-headed and six-armed, and you can't be too busy to do it alone. When the new shop is opened, I will promote you to be the big shopkeeper, whether it is the current shop or the shop in the future, you will find a shopkeeper to manage it, and you will be responsible for the shopkeeper in the shop. ”

"This," Lu Changan was overjoyed when he heard this, and promoted him to the chief treasurer, which was an idea that he had never had before at all, but since Miss Eight said it, it was to value him, and he was busy saying thank you, "The villain Xie Miss Eight trusts." ”

Banniang waved her hand and said, "As long as you do things for me, I will believe you." I see your ability in my eyes, and it is not in Lu Seventeen's face that makes you a big shopkeeper, but that you have the ability to take responsibility. As I have also said, no one is omnipotent, and it doesn't matter if you make a mistake when you are groping, as long as it is not a mistake of principle, I will allow you to make it. However, the shop is handed over to you, you have to be responsible for me, responsible for these guys in the shop who are waiting for the income of the shop to eat, and you will not only be yourself in the future, but also the leader of all the people in the shop. You know, they eat with you, and you have to take on it. ”

Lu Changan used to feel that as long as he did his best, did a good job of the things assigned by the master's family, and made more money for the master's family, he would make his life gradually better.

There is no man in this world who does not want to achieve a career.

It turns out that he, Lu Chang'an, is not just a little servant of the main family, he can also afford others and become a more useful person who is worthy of others' dependence.

The excitement on his face did not escape Banniang's eyes.

Sometimes, people can work hard for more things than money, and those responsibilities, more than money, drive people to move forward.

After talking to Lu Changan, Banniang went to the kitchen to see a few masters as usual, and then went home.

After eating, because I had only found Wu Sanniang, it was inconvenient to come to the door again, and Wu Sanniang ran another errand, so she sent a letter to Wu Sanniang, saying that she wanted to order a batch of moon cake boxes from Qiao's box, she did not place an order directly for the workshop, but placed an order for Wu Sanniang, and then purchased from Wu Sanniang. This is not a broken contract between Wu Sanniang and the box workshop.

Wu Sanniang is unwilling, and the price given by Banniang, she still has some profits. He replied to the letter.

Banniang wrote the size and requirements, as well as the date of delivery, and sent it to Wu Sanniang.

It's late July. There was also a letter from the Yongxing Commercial Bank in Quanzhou, saying that the fleet was about to sail back, and hoped that Banniang could arrive in Quanzhou before August.

Banniang received the letter, and was busy with the matter of funds, Lu Seventeen also sent 20,000 yuan over there, Wu Sanniang's money was sent a few days earlier, because he also had nearly 30,000 yuan in his hand, Banniang returned Lu Seventeen's silver money to him another 10,000 yuan. And left 3,000 yuan for Lu Changan, so that he had enough money to go to Zhang Luoxin's shop, and after these things were explained, he took Cang'er, Xu 13 and Liu Erlang and the two dart masters who went back to the previous year, planning to say goodbye to their families and set off for Quanzhou.

Because she had been there before, and Xu Thirteen and the dart master followed, Zeng Bu was not worried, but after explaining some words, Zhu also told him to let him go. Yuan Wulang also wanted to follow to see it, but he was reprimanded by Zeng Budo, and then he stopped thinking.

In addition to the 50,000 guan, Banniang also prepared nearly 10,000 guan, planning to go to Quanzhou to buy some goods available in the woodware shop.

When they arrived in Quanzhou, because Lin Zhaoqing had received the letter beforehand, he had already arranged someone to pick them up outside the city gate.

Banniang has grown a lot taller this year, and this time it is not Jue'er's clothes that she borrowed, but a few clothes prepared in advance for travel, plus their Zeng family is already tall, this dress is very much like a merry boy.

When Lin Zhaoqing's people were taken to the inn arranged in advance, Lin Zhaoqing got the letter and rushed to meet him.

After a year, the embarrassment of the previous idea has long been put aside, and now Banniang is still wearing men's clothes, Lin Zhaoqing is also much calmer than before, and the two are very happy to see each other.

After eating together, Cang'er knew that the two had something to discuss, so he withdrew.

When someone didn't feel it, Lin Zhaoqing showed some discomfort when they got along privately at this time.

Banniang was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so she hurriedly smiled: "There were a lot of people just now, but I didn't ask, the things that Brother Lin bought from my workshop are selling well?" ”
