Chapter 358: Joy Shop (I)
Seeing that there was no bitterness in Mrs. Gan's expression, Eleven Niang settled down first and said with a smile: "What is the matter with Sister Fuzhen looking for me?" β
Mrs. Gan smiled at her and turned to open the cage.
"I asked my brother to buy it some time ago. Later, I didn't use it," she sat down in front of Eleven Niang, and put the paper box on the kang table, "I'll give it to you!" β
Eleven Niang opened the paper box in confusion.
There was a box of cordyceps neatly stacked.
The color is golden, plump and fat, and it is top-grade at first glance.
Mrs. Gan smiled: "It looks good, it's a pity to put it here for me." β
It's Mrs. Gan's heart!
Eleven Niang accepted it happily: "Thank you, Sister Fuzhen!" β
Mrs. Gan laughed, and there was a little joy in her eyes. Then asked the little maid to go to Tieguanyin to entertain her: "What are you doing these days?" β
Eleven Niang told Mrs. Gan about the arrival of Master Jian and the two of them discussing the opening of the wedding shop.
Mrs. Gan listened and muttered: "It's not easy to open a shop in Yanjing. If you don't talk about the principal, you also have to have a backer. Do you want me to say hello to my brother? Don't dare to say anything else, you can still do it if you say it from Yin of Shuntian Mansion and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. β
Eleven Niang was very grateful: "I told Master Hou." Hou Ye asked the head Bai in the house to come forward to help greet him. If you encounter anything difficult at that time, I will come to Sister Fuzhen again. β
"You don't have to be polite to me." Mrs. Gan smiled when she heard this, "If Manager Bai can't do it, my brother can't do it either." Speaking of this, she paused slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'm a few years older than you, and you call me sister again." I have a confidant saying. Your shop, it's better not to get involved in the Xu family. Lest there be any short-term growth when the time comes, and it will not be clear from the Xu family's industry at that time. I also heard a little about the situation of the Xu family. It seems that the third master and the fifth master have long been separated, but I don't know if the second room of your family is divided. If you don't have a score, if your widowed sister-in-law has a stepchild, I'm afraid there will be some trouble. You're still young, and you have to plan for your future. If you don't want to get their Xu Mansion, you can't give your name to others. β
This is really heartfelt.
Eleven Niang couldn't stop nodding and told the situation at the time: "...... At the time, I didn't know who to ask for, or if I opened it myself. Now that I have returned to Hou Ye, it is easy to reverse, but it is a little bad. β
Mrs. Gan made an idea with her: "Didn't the chief Bai say it, wait for your permission to believe him and then go to say hello." I don't think so. I don't have a few shops on East Street, there are just two shops, and I rented a Jiangnan family to make rouge gouache, and their family has also been doing business in Yanjing for more than ten years, and they are famous. It's just that recently, the owner of the owner is getting older and wants to go back to his hometown to retire. A few days ago, someone brought me a letter, saying that they would stop opening the door after the beginning of winter. Ask if I can find a new tenant. If only you could find the best. If they can't find it, they'll have to make it to the end of the year at best. I was trying to ask my brother to help me find a new tenant. You might as well let Master Jian take a look. If you think it's a good place. I want to use the rent of that shop to calculate a share, and partner with you to open a wedding shop together. I don't know what you think? β
If Mrs. Gan had said that the rent of the shop had been used as a share of the shares, they would have been able to pay the rent of the shop without having to come up with money in advance. And because it is a shareholding, it loses, and the rent does not have to be given; Earned, it is equivalent to the rent paid according to the amount of profit. Unless Mrs. Gan can predict the future, otherwise, how can this account be calculated in favor of her and Master Jian. Moreover, in Mrs. Gan's case, she rents the shop to others to collect rent is far more low-key and worry-free than opening a shop in partnership with others.
Eleven Niang understood what she meant.
Mrs. Gan is going to buy shares, and she is clearly thinking of ways to help her.
Just before she could speak, Mrs. Gan said, "I want you to help me make a fortune, you can't refuse in one go!" β
"Is the business profitable or the bad?" Eleven Niang smiled, "I'm afraid I'll drag you into the water!" β
"Am I not going to have the rent of those two shops?" Mrs. Gan smiled, "I only invest in shares, and I don't care about the shop." If there's anything to help with, my brother can also help with errands. You don't have to rush to answer me, go back and discuss with Master Jian! β
Eleven Niang felt that Mrs. Gan's character was still trustworthy.
She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go back and discuss with Master Jian, give you a quasi-sound as soon as possible, and give someone an answer as soon as possible about the matter over there." β
Mrs. Gan nodded with a smile, wrote the specific location of the shop to her, and the two gossiped a little, and Eleven Niang saw that it was not too early, so she got up and said goodbye.
In the evening, I met with Master Jian and told Mrs. Gan about her suggestion.
"Things gather by like, and people are divided by groups." Master Jian smiled, "Since I am good friends with you, I think I am also a good person." Of course, it would be nice if Mrs. Gan could buy a stake in the shop at the rent of the shop. You don't know, I went to ask the rent of the shop today, I don't know, I was shocked when I asked. Some shops, a single room, cost 500 taels a year. The next one, there are two or three hundred taels a year...... "Master Jian told Shi Niang about his going out. The next day, I went to see the address given by Eleven Niang.
Because it is a gouache and rouge business, there are many female customers. And there are two next to it that are also in the gouache rouge business, one in the wig business, and the other in the women's shoe business. Mrs. Gan's shop is connected to two storefronts, just around the corner from East Street, and such a shop is sometimes impossible to find even if you have money. She was very satisfied, and went back to say to Eleven Niang: "You say, will it really be God's favor." After coming to Yanjing, I felt very smooth. β
Eleven Niang also felt that this matter was a good start, and nodded busily.
The two went to see Mrs. Gan the next day and gave her a formal reply, which can be regarded as a meeting between the three shareholders. It was decided to take over the faΓ§ade after the beginning of winter.
Eleven Niang told Binju about the opening of the Xipu and asked her if she was willing to go to the Xipu to help. Binju went back to discuss Wan Daxian, and Wan Daxian naturally agreed.
She went to Mrs. Tai again.
Mrs. Tai was very supportive when she heard about it: "...... Master Jian looks like a reliable person. You can also earn some rouge gouache money. He also gave her two thousand taels of silver in private, "and pay me back when I double the money." If I lose, I will have some spare time to help me make a few more clothes. β
Speaking of this, Eleven Niang can only be grateful. I also secretly determined that I would do this happy shop no matter what.
At dinner, everyone heard about it.
Xu Lingkuan said: "Fourth sister-in-law, when the time comes, I will invite the opera troupe in Beijing to go there to sing on stage, congratulations on your opening!" β
Wouldn't that make everyone known?
"No, no." Eleven Niang smiled, "Let's open a small wedding shop, we don't need such a big scene." β
She and Master Jane decided to go into a mid-range business. If the scene is too big, ordinary people are afraid to go to the shop to see.
Xu Lingyi also said: "Their women's family makes some rouge money in the business, don't mix it indiscriminately." β
Eleven Niang reports the progress to Xu Lingyi every day, and Xu Lingyi knows their affairs very well.
Xu Lingkuan was a little embarrassed when he heard it.
The fifth lady smiled and said, "Oh, when the time comes, we will just send congratulations." The fourth sister-in-law has just opened, and it is more affordable than what troupe you invite to sing. β
"Yes, neither Ling Kuan nor Xu Lingyi is very familiar with general affairs, but both of them have industries under their names, and they know a little bit about these things," the fourth sister-in-law might as well sell it according to the book when it first opened. When the dock is knocked down, find a way to change to a new variety, and then add a small profit. When you have a firm foothold, you will change the variety and start making money. β
"Then inherit the auspicious words of the fifth master!" Eleven Niang thanked him with a smile.
Xu Sizhen's expression was a little depressed when he heard this.
Eleven Niang asked him softly, "What's wrong?" β
Xu Sizhen hesitated: "Mother went to open a wedding shop, so wouldn't she often have to reconcile accounts with the stewards in the future?" Then do I want to help take care of the fifth brother? β
"What? You don't want to! Xu Lingyi, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said lightly.
Xu Lingkuan and the fifth lady's expressions became a little unnatural.
"No, no." Xu Si hurriedly said, "It's these days that the master wants to compile a "Yanjing Chronicle", and let me help check the allusions and sources. I'm going to talk to my husband first. If my mother is busy, I will see if I can bring my fifth brother to Shuangfu Courtyard. β
Xu Sizhen lived on Mrs. Tai's side, and Xu Sijie lived there again. If you don't create opportunities for them, it will be difficult for the two of them to intersect except for the morning and the province. In order to deepen the relationship between the two, Eleven Niang often asked Xu Sizhen to play with Xu Sizhen when she reconciled accounts with the stewards at the end of the month. He must have thought that his mother had another thing to do, and he would be busier in the future, so he asked.
Mrs. Tai laughed when she heard this, and hugged Xu Sizhen in her arms: "My good grandson." Your mother is just a shareholder, and the affairs in the shop are naturally managed by Master Jian. If you want to be busy, you will only be busy for two or three days! What's more, your fifth brother still has a mother who is in charge of things. You don't need to care. β
Xu Lingyi showed a shallow smile in his eyes.
Only Xu Sijie, who didn't know why his brother mentioned his name, opened a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes and looked curiously.
Eleven Niang smiled and hugged Xu Sijie in her arms.
Master Jian began to look for a business firm that provided fabrics and silk needles, and casually contacted some old friends in Jiangnan to see if anyone was willing to come here to be an embroiderer. Liu Yuanrui's family is responsible for finding people who are good at embroidery in the surrounding neighbors to do help, while Binju cleans up some of the previous tricks and goes to the Xipu to see what others are doing and what price they sell. The matter of accompanying Sister Zhen to do embroidery work fell on Qiu Ju. Qiu Ju can't help but look forward to it, so that Sister Zhen has a heavenly saying: "Mother, why don't I also help you embroider things?" β
"That's not going to work." Eleven Niang smiled, "You are not an embroidery girl, if there are embroidered things fall into the market, it is not good!" β
In this way, they were busy until the beginning of October, and their most headache embroidery problem was basically solved.
Because they didn't want to get involved in the battle between the Colorful Embroidery Workshop and the Xianya Pavilion, four or five embroidery girls who had received the favor of Master Jian and had no family dragged down decided to come to Yanjing to join Master Jian. Although these embroiderers are not too famous, they can cope with the embroidery work of the happy shop.
The matter of opening a happy shop has a faint eyebrow.
Eleven Niang was in a happy mood, and the golden lotus and silver bottle beside Shi Niang suddenly came to her.
