Chapter 177
Xiangru's Wuwei Restaurant successfully passed the transition period of the first few days of opening, from the shopkeeper to the small furniture are running in smoothly, the tacit understanding is forming, and when the "spring" solar term is about to end, Xiangru will no longer stay in the kitchen to supervise the chefs during business hours, and these old chefs with decades of experience will no longer need to supervise the whole process once they adapt to the new work.
When the "spring" solar term was more than halfway through, Guo Jin brought Xiangru the discount coupons for the five "spring" seasons of rain, stunning, 'spring', Qingming and Guyu, each of which was 100 pieces, and the paintings were all representative plants of the 'spring' season.
"Yes, it's beautiful, next time you see that Duan Gongzi say thank you for me, the discount coupon pattern for the next three seasons should also be at this level."
"Okay, Duan Gongzi is already painting the painting behind, with my young master to check it, I won't let Miss He down."
"By the way, didn't your young master say last time that he would take a part of the discount coupons to send to your foreign merchants in Beijing, so that more people would know Duan Gongzi's painting skills, and he would have a good way to live. How many foreign merchants do you have in Beijing? Look at it yourself and take it. Xiangru put the discount coupon on the table as it was and let Guo Jin take it himself.
Guo Jin thanked him, went to the table and counted a certain number of each item, wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it in his arms.
"Your young master is very good at doing business, he helps his friends get through the difficulties openly, and secretly he can let our Wuwei Pavilion be known by more people, killing two birds with one stone."
"Miss He, my young master is really helping his friends, and he has no other ideas." Guo Jin hurriedly explained to his young master that it would not be good if people misunderstood that his young master's motives were not pure.
"Yes, yes, yes, he really helps his friends, I take the opportunity to do some business, okay, really, what are you nervous about, he is just a shareholder, he has more shares in the business, he can still manage how other shareholders do business? Isn't it, Guo Jin? ”
Guo Jin's face showed an embarrassed look, "Miss He, what you said sounds even more awkward. ”
"What's the matter, it's obvious that your thoughts are not pure." Xiangru denied with a wicked smile, "Is there anything else?" If not, you can be busy with your go, and you can just ask someone else to send it next time, so why let you run it yourself. Your young master is really a 'waste' labor. ”
"The young master's orders dare not disobey, which also shows that the young master attaches the most importance here."
"Huh? What does it mean? I heard that he has more partners, so he doesn't 'care' about those transactions? ”
"The proportion of those young masters who buy and sell shares is not large, the young master only cares about the dividends at the end of the year, and he doesn't ask about other things, the girl is the biggest, and naturally the young master pays the most attention, and there are many things that the young master personally stares at the 'handover' from the beginning of the preparations.
"Yo, I thought I would 'hand' it over to you to deal with Feidu, and it would be my honor for him to personally intervene."
"The young master said, the girl in the 'medicine' restaurant has eaten a big solo meal, and she has the opportunity everywhere, as long as you continue to maintain your advantage, we have any mundane things."
"Okay, since you are there for all kinds of miscellaneous things in the periphery, then I will focus on the management of the 'door', don't let those miscellaneous things distract me."
"Definitely." Guo Jin clasped his fists and saluted, "Girl, if you don't have anything else to say, I'll leave first." ”
"It's okay, you can get busy, I'll write to you directly if there's anything to do. By the way, you can speed up the bamboo curtains I want to use in the summer, and we will clean and dry the new curtains when they come back. ”
"Yes, this Duan Gongzi finished painting the pattern of the discount coupon for the whole year, and he drew a curtain picture, and he will definitely be able to send it to the girl before the summer."
"Okay, then I'll give it to you. Xiaojie, send off the guest on my behalf. ”
"Guo Jin said goodbye." Guo Jin bowed his hand and went down with He Xiaojie.
Xiangru rearranged the remaining discount coupons and handed them to Gui 'Hua' to take them to the room to put them away, and she went back to the study to draw a histogram of the daily business situation, in addition to counting the daily flow, but also counting the dishes, these numbers come from the kitchen, which dishes are ordered more and which dishes are ordered less, Xiangru is drawn into a data chart for reference, and get more information from it, which may provide data support for the later business strategy.
The first month passes in a blink of an eye, the grass grows and the warbler flies in February, everywhere is full of fresh greenery, the weather is getting warmer, the outdoor activities of the people are increasing, the number of pedestrians on the street is increasing, and there are many large families of 'female' dependents who go out to go out to shop in person, enjoying the beauty of the 'spring' day.
Xiangru sent her little servants to spend a few days wandering around the nearby streets, investigating the operation of all the teahouses on these streets, and according to their reports, the attendance rate of those teahouses was good, much better than when the weather was colder before.
Hearing this feedback, Xiangru smiled with satisfaction and began to steal business with these teahouses.
Xiangru herself never thought that one day her dim sum would be better than the dishes, if she didn't make full use of this, wouldn't she be sorry for her craftsmanship?
So it was already in her plan to grab business with the teahouse, but the weather was still cold before, and most of the pedestrians on the street came and went in a hurry. So it's been a long time coming, and now that the weather is warmer, it's time to start talking.
The predecessor of the Wuwei Pavilion was a tea house, and all the things were left when the former owner dealt with the shop, so the tea set was ready-made, and Xiangru took some of it as a tableware for teapot soup, and there were still a lot of them left in the warehouse, all of which were good tea sets, and it was a pity to put the ashes on the spot.
The tea set was ready-made, and Xiangru wrote to Guo Jin asking him to find some good tea for herself, as well as a large number of custom-made snack cartons, and she wanted to increase the tea business during the afternoon break.
Guo Jin was very efficient, and after three days, he brought a lot of tea to Xiangru, and then asked Xiangru if she had made the dim sum with tea herself.
Xiangru naturally replied to him, and told Guo Jin the timetable for the official operation of afternoon tea spots, and then after all the tea was unloaded, he gave him several large bags of freshly baked dim sum, and asked him to bring them back for everyone to taste and give advice.
Guo Jin returned to Xiang Fei's 'private' house in Xiangmi Lane, where Xiang Fei was dealing with business matters with the other three relatives, Guo Jin came back with dim sum, and Xiang Fei took a break by the way and shared the dim sum with his entourage.
"Well~ He Xiangru really has a hand at making dim sum. Guo Jin, did she tell you anything? Xiang Fei asked.
"Anyway, young master, Miss He has decided to officially start the afternoon tea business on Qingming Day, and in the days before that, she planned to give snacks to the guests according to the number of people at each table at dinner time every day. The rhetoric used is that Gomikan has decided to start an afternoon tea business, and invites customers to help taste new dim sum. ”
"But then she doesn't need to order a lot of snack cartons, didn't she say this?"
She also said that if the guests have a good response to the dim sum, she wants to open more dim sum windows to sell dim sum, just because these dim sum are made by herself, and the time is tight, never before the unitary time, only one and a half hours, so the number of dim sum is limited, and the stall will be closed after it is sold out. She said she had a lot of snacks that we hadn't even eaten. ”
"That's natural, listening to my uncle, when she was still in the palace, she didn't know how many dim sum recipes she contributed to the ladies of the harem, and later traveled around to serve those dignitaries, who knows how much she learned from those cooks when she 'messed' in the kitchen every day. No wonder she is so confident, she knows how to use her own advantages, I really didn't look away, smart enough, pull her to partner in business without losing money. ”
"Miss He got the top grades in the exam that year, you see the past few years since her, although she has been influenced, more and more palace maids have studied food and medicine courses, but no one has passed the exam with excellent grades, even a medium one is rare, most of them have passed the test with passing results, and none of them have been favored by Miss He in the Houguan Niangniang, she is the only one, and now she is not a food doctor to open a 'medicine' restaurant, but many people are still worried about it, the young master and her partner in business, and the benefits will continue in the future."
"That being said, but He Xiangru is a 'woman' after all, although she is not young, and it is becoming more and more difficult to get married, but she is not another 'woman', she is He Xiangru, maybe there are really men who are willing to marry her regardless of her age, so if she marries in the future, what will happen to her business? No man wants to watch his wife frequently contact men outside in the name of business, right? "Xiang Fei's thinking began to get used to 'sexual' divergence.
"Young Master, are you thinking too much? I don't think Miss He has any plans to get married now, she just wants to do business well. What's more, even if Miss He is really going to get married in the future, with her cleverness, she will definitely take care of the aftermath properly, such as cultivating a cronie to manage it for her, which will neither delay business nor affect family harmony. Bai An hurriedly interrupted Xiang Fei's train of thought, he couldn't go on like this.
"Young master, if you are really afraid that Miss He's marriage will affect your business in the future, it is better for the young master to be a matchmaker and find a good one for Miss He, Miss He is now single, and she has the final say in her marriage. Although I can't see that Miss He has the intention of getting married now, people will change, maybe she won't think so after a long time, 'female', who doesn't want a home. Tang Ping, who was close to him, suggested.
"How can there be such a suitable person, no matter how well-connected the young master is, he is not omnipotent. And the man I was looking for couldn't mind Miss He's age, who didn't want to marry a young one, even if it was the primary condition for continuing the strings, most of them should be young and beautiful, and in terms of age, Miss He didn't have any advantage at all. Pang Xuan objected.
"If you want me to see, if the young master is really worried, it is better for the young master to sacrifice it, two families and one family, anyway, the young master does not have a daughter-in-law." Huang had a bad idea.
"Looking for a fight!" Xiang Fei didn't have an opinion yet, Bai An Guo Jin and the four of them jumped up and pressed Huang Liu on the table and flattened it, "Tell you to arrange the young master and beat him!" ”
Huang Liu was pressed on the table and screamed, causing Xiang Fei to laugh, "Okay, okay, let him go, it's not that you don't know that he doesn't have a 'door' in his mouth, and you dare to say anything you want." ”
"If you want to say something reliable, really." The young master pleaded, and Bai An and they could only stop and let Huang Liu go.
"Well, we've been working together for so long, don't you know him? After eating, clean up the table after eating, and we will continue to go back. ”
Bai An and the five of them were tidying up the table, and Uncle Quan, the housekeeper, suddenly knocked on the 'door' and said, "Young master, I just got the news from home, and Master Duan drove to the west." ”
"Oh? Seriously? ”
"It's true, it's not in the morning, the Duan family sent the news to the house, and the family sent the news here, I have already sent someone to the Duan family to check the situation just now, if Duan Shuwei's son is really kicked out of the house, he will receive it immediately."
"No, Old Man Duan just swallowed his breath, although everyone in the capital knows that the Duan family is very infighting, but after all, they have status and dignity in the circle, and they always have to take care of some face and courtesy, and they will not sweep the concubines and concubines out of the 'door' so quickly, it may be a few days late. Uncle Quan, you let the brothers work harder these days, and they will all be rewarded after the work is done. ”
"Yes, young master." Uncle Quan immediately stepped back and made arrangements.
Xiang Fei looked at the closed room 'door' and muttered to himself a little unpleasantly: "Fortunately, the discount coupons for the 'spring' season have been completed, why did that old man Duan just breathe at this time, it's okay to be a few days late, so that Shuwei has time to finish the sketch of the curtain, now it's okay, Shuwei will definitely be in the mood to start writing for more than half a month." ”
"Young master, don't think about this, let's go home quickly, discuss with the master and the eldest young master how to condole, and see Duan Gongzi tomorrow." Pak On Road.
"Okay, let's stop here today, prepare the car, and we'll go back."
"Yes, young master."
Entering the 'Door'
