After a few days, Xu Qinghe saw that there was no news from the Li Mansion, and he understood that the county magistrate was not willing to inscribe her small shop.

So I went to Su Mansion again and begged for Su Zhe's inscription.

Su Zhe didn't expect the county magistrate to refuse this matter, so he had to pick up his pen and write an inscription for his niece.

Xu Qinghe praised his uncle's calligraphy. Then he instructed Xu Ya to find a famous calligraphy and painting shop in the city and frame it with a lot of money.

On this day, the wind is beautiful.

Xu Qinghe took Xu Yao to Xu's garment shop.

Shopkeeper Xu Wei greeted him and said with a smile: "Where did Miss find the painter?" It's really a good hand. ”

Xu Qinghe said: "It's just a talent in Xingyuan Mansion." Why is the shopkeeper so happy? Could it be that the clothes are sold out of stock? ”

"Not really. It's just that clothes made according to the new pattern are very popular. Recently, the business in the shop has been getting better and better day by day. Xu Wei smiled.

Xu Qinghe said: "As long as the business is good." ”

Carefully inspect the new clothes in the shop, it is really different from that of Meizhou City, with a variety of patterns and varied styles.

Xu Qinghe touched a men's round-necked plain robe and asked, "How much does this sell for?" ”

Xu Wei replied beside him: "As before, fifty wen." ”

"Shopkeeper, aren't these new clothes the same price as before?" Xu Qinghe asked again.

Xu Wei nodded, "Naturally, it's the same as before." "The average ready-to-wear store will not change its price easily.

Xu Qinghe pondered for a moment and said slowly: "According to whether the style is novel and unique, the price of men's ready-to-wear is raised by 5 to 25 wen, and the price of women's ready-to-wear is increased by 10 to 50 wen. If there is no one in Meizhou City, the price will be increased by 100 Wen. ”

Xu Wei exclaimed: "Miss, mention so much at once!" Guests won't accept it. ”

Xu Qinghe said: "You just have to raise the price, and I will bear the consequences." ”

Xu's Garment Shop is mainly engaged in the business of ordinary people, and one hundred Wen can buy several pieces of clothing.

Relying on small profits and quick turnover, you can also earn 20,000 or 30,000 taels a year.

However, Xu Qinghe thought of the few sets of clothes she bought in Xingyuan Mansion, the lowest was twenty taels and the highest was fifty taels. There are even a few hundred taels of clothes in that shop!

I don't know how many times the profit of a year is higher than that of my own shop!

Xu Qinghe looked at his shop, and sighed in his heart that the grade was still not enough, and he couldn't attract rich families.

"Shopkeeper, you find a few guys to clean up the second floor and try to decorate it as exquisitely." Xu Qinghe said, "Then choose a few new and unique clothes and put them on the second floor." The price is as low as 20 taels and as high as 100 taels. ”

Xu Wei was dumbfounded, Miss is planning to sell high-priced ready-to-wear clothes?

"If no one buys it, I'll put it there, and I'll sell it." Xu Qinghe said. "The plain clothes in the lobby are sold at the original price."

Xu Wei had no choice but to nod and respond, "Okay." I'll have someone clean up the second floor tomorrow. ”

Xu Qinghe walked around the shop, then took Xu Yao and left to go to Nanjia Restaurant.

Yesterday, Wang Zhitong sent a message, saying that the restaurant had been renovated and invited her to come and see.

The outside of the restaurant is the same as before, but the previous signboard has been taken off.

When you enter the door, there is a counter on the left-hand side, and in the open area on the right-hand side, there are wooden shelves of different heights, and some rice grains are scattered around.

Walking inside, I saw Wang Zhitong coming up, and said with a smile: "Sister Xu, I'll take you around to take a closer look." ”

Xu Qinghe followed Wang Zhitong around and listened to his introduction.

What is placed on the wooden shelf here, what is placed on the shelf over there, and what can be placed in the middle......

"Big brother is such a genius! In this way, it is a market with all department stores. Xu Qinghe praised.

Wang Zhitong said modestly: "Although there are many categories, each profit is small, and it can only be made with small profits and quick turnover." ”

Xu Qinghe said: "What is sold is necessary for the daily life of the people, although the profit is small, but the market is stable." Xiaomei is only worried that after the opening, the supply will be insufficient. ”

Wang Zhitong suddenly smiled and said: "This is not worrying about Xu Mei, I have already contacted friends all over Meizhou to purchase the grain produced in their Zhuangzi for a long time." ”

"The eldest brother is far-sighted, and the younger sister is ashamed." Xu Qinghe sighed.

Wang Zhitong said with a smile: "Sister Xu is far-sighted, otherwise I would still be running a small grocery store." I'll take Xu Mei up to the second floor to have a look? ”

Xu Qinghe responded: "Okay, big brother first, please." ”

The second floor was originally a private restaurant, a total of 12 rooms, and it was not renovated much.

Wang Zhitong introduced them one by one: "This room sells cakes, pies and other dough cakes, the room next to it sells pastries, the room on the right sells preserved fruit snacks, and the rest of the room sells sometimes fresh fruits, wine, and sachet decorations......"

Xu Qinghe exclaimed: "So many! Could it be that those pastries and pastries have to be made by hiring people? ”

Then the cost is too much higher than the profit!

"Of course not." Wang Zhitong explained seriously: "We don't sell those goods. ”

"Huh? Not for sale? Xu Qinghe said in surprise. Didn't you just say what each room sells? Why did the eldest brother say that he wouldn't sell it.

Wang Zhitong asked with a smile: "Can Xu Mei patronize the small stall vendors on the street?" ”

"Naturally, I often go to buy small things that are good and cheap." Xu Qinghe replied.

Wang Zhitong said: "That's it. I've talked to the stall owners who are thriving and will rent these rooms to them for business, free of rent for half a year. After half a year, the rent was collected at thirty taels of silver per month. ”

Xu Qinghe quickly calculated: "That's about five thousand taels of rent per year." ”

It's also a lot of money.

Wang Zhitong smiled: "Sister Xu can't look down on these thousands of taels of silver? ”

"Naturally not. Not a penny is hard to come by, how can the little sister have a contempt for it! Xu Qinghe hurriedly replied.

Wang Zhitong said: "Although Sister Xu can rest assured, the principal of 30,000 taels will be recovered within a year." The stall owners on the second floor brought more than a few thousand taels of silver, they also brought a lot of regular customers. ”

Xu Qinghe suddenly realized that the majority of the head still depends on the department stores sold on the first floor.

The stall owner sets up a stall in a fixed place every day, and over the years, he has naturally accumulated a certain number of regular customers.

When the stall was moved to Nanjia Restaurant, it brought in some customers accordingly.

And those customers saw the goods sold on the first floor, thinking that the rice and grain at home were running out, so they bought a bag by the way, and the vegetables were almost the same, and bought some fruits and vegetables by the way......

After coming and going, the popularity of the restaurant will gradually rise, so why not worry about the prosperity of the business?

Xu Qinghe's admiration for Wang Zhitong at this time was like a surging river. At the moment, he bent down and saluted: "The eldest brother is good at foresight, and the younger sister admires it." ”

Wang Zhitong laughed and said: "Sister Xu has praised me no less than three times today, this is to trick me, please go to Dongyue Restaurant for wine?" ”

Xu Qinghe suddenly smiled, "There is only the reason for the little sister to be the east, how can there be a reason to bother the eldest brother to treat him." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and they both felt happy in their hearts.
