Chapter 300: News from Beiyan
"Mrs. Liu." Lin Xiaozhu smiled, "There is an account that you haven't calculated." The rent of the shops in the towns below is almost half cheaper than that in the capital, and the prices of flour, glutinous rice flour, and various raw materials are not much different. Once the business is good, the consumption of raw materials is large, and some raw materials are not under the bottom, I have to transport them down from the capital, the cost of raw materials, freight combined, not only is not less than the rent of your shop, it may be much more, the better the business, the more you earn, the less I earn, this is very unfair; Besides, the wages of the shopkeeper and the dim sum master are about the same, and you just have two more wages for the second child, and the second child is selected locally, and the salary is very cheap. And I haven't invested in the craft yet, but the dim sum I make here has never been seen before, and two new varieties are added every month. Whether the business in the store is good or not depends on the craftsmanship. If I work with someone else, regardless of anything else, the craft alone has to be one or two components. Moreover, the shopkeeper is yours, and all the accounts of this shop are done by your people, although I can trust Mrs. Liu's character, but as the days go by, I can't guarantee that the people below will make small calculations, I am really a little worried! ”
"That'...... So what do you say? Mrs. Liu was stunned. She felt that she had given Lin Xiaozhu enough shares, how could she still take advantage of Lin Xiaozhu when she got into Lin Xiaozhu's mouth?
"The content of each share is still as you say, but this share has to be reversed, I have six and you four. And half of the shopkeeper is yours, half is mine, and a year later, I will switch with the shopkeeper of other shops to find out the accounts of my predecessor. All dim sum shops are called Baiweifang, and pickle shops are called Baiweiju. Lin Xiaozhu said very simply.
"You're six, I'm four?" Mrs. Liu intuitively felt that something was wrong, but according to what Lin Xiaozhu just said, she really didn't feel that anything was wrong. She was heartbroken, and said a number that she could accept, "Or...... Let's split the account fifty-fifty, shall we? ”
"Five-five?" Lin Xiaozhu looked at Mrs. Liu with a smile, "No problem, if you go to partner with others, you will definitely be able to score five or five points." After speaking, he stood up, "I'm sorry Mrs. Liu." I was in a hurry to go out when you came, and King Ying said that he had something to discuss with me. It's not early, it's rude to go late, I won't accompany you. "Turn around and want to leave.
"Hey, Miss Chen." Mrs. Liu was anxious. It's been so long, and it's not easy to block Lin Xiaozhu. She didn't want to leave without anything. King Ying is in charge of the household department, thinking about how to make money for the treasury all day long, but now he says that he has something to discuss with Miss Chen. What else could he do? Don't you want to partner with Miss Chen to do business? I'm going to let her go now, maybe there will be no hope of coming back tomorrow.
Such a hurry. She didn't want to think about it anymore, and gritted her teeth and said, "Cheng, then let's do it." "I thought to myself. Even if it is forty percent of the shares, as long as she makes money, she can't lose. It's a good thing to make money, right? It doesn't matter how much it earns or how little it makes. And what are these shops called Baiwei, which is the same series as Baiwei Lou in the capital. Anyway, it's also on King Ying's side, isn't it? This is good for his own master after all. Forget it, don't worry about it so much. If Miss Chen's heart is dark, it means that she will be thirty percent of the shares, and maybe she will have to grit her teeth and agree.
Lin Xiaozhu naturally couldn't give her thirty percent of the shares. Do business together. I made a lot of money on my side, but I lost money on that side. She doesn't feel good about it, does she? As for the account she settled with Mrs. Liu...... Hey, what is the cost of raw materials, she naturally knows in her heart, and it is far from the rent of the shop she said. And the more you buy, the cheaper the price, and no matter how much you invest, you can't get more. Next, she plans to use the money in her hand to buy some fields, buy a village, hire some farmers to grow fields and vegetables, and raise chickens and pigs. The products are not only used for the Beijing restaurant, but also the raw materials for dim sum and pickle shops are also packaged, so the cost has been reduced a lot. Self-produced and self-sold, how good. Doesn't the fertilizer water flow into the fields of outsiders?
"When we're free, we'll sign the contract." Lin Xiaozhu walked out and said.
In Mrs. Liu's opinion, it is best to sign now, so as not to have too many dreams at night. Who knows if Miss Chen will change her mind after a trip to Yingwang's Mansion? She looked at Lin Xiaozhu, gritted her teeth and said, "The girl went to King Ying's mansion, just by the way, otherwise she would delay it and sign the contract?" ”
Lin Xiaozhu paused for a moment, hesitated for a while, and then asked, "Isn't Mrs. Liu going home to discuss with Lord Fu Yin?" ”
"No, no, no, the family's business is all in my hands." Mrs. Liu said.
"Alright then, let's go now." Lin Xiaozhu was in a very happy mood.
The notary office that signed the contract was under the rule of Liu Fu Yin in Yuejing City, and Mrs. Liu was considered a privileged person. When I got there, there was no need to queue, and the person in charge there came over and personally signed a contract for the two. Lin Xiaozhu folded the contract that belonged to him, put it in his arms, got into the car with a smile, and went straight to King Ying's mansion.
Lin Xiaozhu is now a regular guest of King Ying's Mansion, and the porter sent someone to report it first, and directly asked someone to lead her in. When she entered the second gate, Xiao Xiao's girl Lan Cao greeted her and said, "Miss Chen, the prince and the princess are in the inner hall." Say if you come, just let you go. ”
"Oh? Who else is there besides the prince and the princess? Lin Xiaozhu asked. In the past two months, in order to avoid more troubles, she tried not to come to this Ying Wangfu if she could, and if she came, she would be brought in by Xiao Xiao. Therefore, there are not many face-to-face meetings with Lu Jianning, the king of Ying, even when they meet, they will answer a few words lightly, which is decent. She didn't think that King Ying's friendship with her was so good that she would specially invite her to this palace to talk or eat.
"There is also the third son of the Li family in Wang'ancheng." Bluegrass Road.
"Wang'an City Li family?" Lin Xiaozhu's footsteps paused. After a while, she continued to walk forward, and then asked, "The third prince of Li has a good relationship with your prince?" ”
Lan Cao knew that the Chen girl in front of her was a close friend of her own princess, and her own princess was able to live so well now, thanks to this Chen girl, she knew everything at the moment, and said everything: "Our prince's maternal grandfather, the ancestral house is in Wang'an City, so Li Sangongzi has known my prince since he was a child." ”
"Oh." Lin Xiaozhu nodded. Doing business in Dongyue, the famous families in Dongyue don't know if it's okay. So since arriving in East Vietnam, she has been collecting as much intelligence as possible. As far as she knows, the Li family in Wang'an City is also a big imperial businessman, and after King Ying is in charge of the household, this Li family must be the object of King Ying's wooing, and the third son of Li has been excavated.
However, what does the appearance of Li Sangongzi have to do with her Lin Xiaozhu? King Ying specially called himself to meet him, what does it mean? Isn't it like Mrs. Liu at the beginning, who wants to help her be a matchmaker?
Recalling that not long after seeing Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao heard the news about Yuan Tianye from Lu Jianning, Lin Xiaozhu sighed sullenly.
There have been no happy events in the Northern Yan Kingdom recently, but there are no funerals either. However, it is said that Emperor Yuan Tuo does not seem to be in good health.
There is no happy event, which shows that Yuan Tianye did not marry a wife and take a concubine, when he said that, he just wanted to drive her away, so as not to prevent him from doing great things; There was no funeral, which means that Yuan Zhibai is still alive, and Yuan Tianye, who treated him, is not in danger of life. And Yuan Tuo, a man in his twenties, has always been in excellent health. Now that his health is not good, it is very likely that Yuan Tianye did it. In short, there are various signs that Yuan Tianye's major affairs have not been completed, but things should be developing in a favorable direction.
This news is not bad, but what makes Lin Xiaozhu depressed is that Yuan Tianye has never sent anyone to contact her. It's been almost half a year! Recalling the conversation between the two that day, Lin Xiaozhu had to shake his head and not think about him.
There was not much time for Lin Xiaozhu to be sad, the sedan chair soon arrived in front of the door of the inner hall, Lin Xiaozhu got off the sedan chair, Xiao Xiao appeared at the door, and said angrily: "Why did you come?" At this time, Xiao Xiao returned to the bright and moving when she first saw her.
"Is it late?" Lin Xiaozhu blinked and looked at the sky, "You said, it should be this hour, right?" ”
Lu Jianning smiled inside: "Miss Chen, please come in." It's Xiao'er herself who is anxious, and you are not late. Alas, I am her husband, and I am the one who often does not see her. The two of you only met in the morning, okay? Why don't you see each other for half a day? ”
Lin Xiaozhu didn't accept this vinegar-flavored witticism, followed Xiao Xiao into the room, and saluted the people on the main seat: "Chen Xi has seen Lord Ying. ”
"Hey, Miss Chen, you're not good at that. Obviously a very interesting person, why is he serious every time he sees this king? Is this king so terrible? ”
"Lord, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, and etiquette cannot be abolished." Lin Xiaozhu replied solemnly.
"Hey, forget it." Lu Jianning waved his hand in frustration, pointed to a young man sitting under him and said, "This is the third son of Li, the Li family in Wang'an City." I think Miss Chen has heard of the Li family in Wang'an City, right? ”
"I've heard it." Lin Xiaozhu replied very simply, and blessed the man, "I've seen Li Sangongzi." ”
The man stood up and arched his hand to Lin Xiaozhu: "Miss Chen." ”
Lin Xiaozhu didn't raise his eyes, not at all curious about what this third son of Li looked like. She waited for Xiao Xiao to sit down, and then sat down under her, and Qingdai came up to make tea.
After Qingdai retreated, Lu Jianning said: "Miss Chen, this king is very curious, how did you think about opening three restaurants?" And it's exactly the same, and so are Xiao Er's clothes and dishes? It's a novelty. ”
"Heh, I finally came up with an idea, so naturally it will take a few times to get a good deal. That's what I thought. ”
......Hearing this reason, Lu Jianning was speechless. (To be continued)
