Here, after Steward Lu returned home with the silver ticket of 1,800 taels, he went into the study in the front yard and handed over the silver ticket that sold the shop to his master's house.

"It's a girl who bought the shop today. The old slave thought it was the man who was walking with her. Steward Lu said to the master.

"Really? Is that the man's wife? The master asked absently while practicing calligraphy with a pen.

"No, the girl has an unmarried hairstyle." Steward Lu replied.

At this moment, the master became interested, put down the pen and asked, "There is such a powerful girl?" Do you want to buy a shop by yourself? ”

"That said. I guess it's a merchant girl. The old slave didn't ask much. But looking at it, it's not shrewd. After a few words from the old slave, he paid the tax for us to sell the house. Steward Lu saw that the master's family was interested in chatting, so he hurriedly replied with a smile.

"The merchant girl, she is not smart, so it is difficult to say that she bought a shop to do business." The master picked up the pen again and continued to practice his handwriting, "Let's see how she does business." If it is done well, I will have to patronize it a few times for the sake of this tax. Ha ha. ”

Steward Lu saw that his master was very interested, so he quickly echoed a few words and didn't say anything.

Here, Jiang Zhixia was still looking at the house carefully, thinking about how to decorate.

Chu Tiankuo looked at Jiang Zhixia who had been planning here and planning what it would look like, and hurriedly said, "Zhixia, do you know that to open a shop, you have to go to the yamen to apply for approval?"

Jiang Zhixia was stunned when he heard this, applying for approval?

Seeing Jiang Zhixia's stunned appearance, Chu Tiankuo knew that Jiang Zhixia didn't understand this matter, so he explained to her carefully.

It turns out that opening a shop in the Great Calendar Dynasty is not just a casual door opening. You need to take the deed of the shop and go to the government office to apply for a document similar to the business license of the previous life.

The documents will indicate the name of the shop, who the owner is, where the address is, what kind of business to be done, and other details, and finally stamp the big red seal of the government.

With the approval, you can open a store.

"Wow, thank you, Brother Chu. Brother Chu knows a lot. Jiang Zhixia didn't expect that Chu Tiankuo, the deputy general in a military camp, would actually know so many things about business.

"Has Brother Chu also opened a shop?" Jiang Zhixia suddenly asked curiously.

Even she, a person with a little asset, opened a shop. Then Brother Chu, a person with a lot of assets, must have opened a shop, right?

"I, I, I... Chu Tiankuo was distracted by Jiang Zhixia's sudden inquiry, and said hesitantly: "I opened a shop." But because I am mostly in the barracks on weekdays, I found a shopkeeper to watch. ”

"What kind of shop is it?" Jiang Zhixia asked curiously, "When the time comes, I can go to the cheering party." ”

Chu Tiankuo was speechless for a while, "It's just an ordinary shop." ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Jiang Zhixia cautiously and said, "I don't usually go to the shop, most of the things are handled by the shopkeeper himself." ”

"Oh. Brother Chu still keeps it a secret from me. Jiang Zhixia pretended to be angry and said.

Seeing that Chu Tiankuo was even more helpless, he gritted his teeth, as if he was about to say something, but swallowed it back.

"Zhixia, I've been taking a long break this time. I've taken half a day off now, and it's time for me to go back. Chu Tiankuo didn't know what to say. I had to deliberately look at the sky outside, and then said to Jiang Zhixia, "I'll go back first." ”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Jiang Zhixia's response, he hurriedly went out and walked to the door of the fang.

Although Jiang Zhixia was very surprised by Chu Tiankuo's actions, he immediately focused on his shop again.

Do you go through the paperwork first? Or do you want to decorate the shop first? Or do you decorate while handling paperwork?

Jiang Zhixia thought about this question as he locked the door and walked home.

After Jiang Zhixia returned home, after lunch, he sat at the desk, thinking about the appearance of the shop, and began to draw the design drawing.

There are a total of 12 shops on the upper and lower floors, and it is not too much to say more, and it is not too little to say less.

On the first level, the customer group is aimed at ordinary scholars and students who need to give grace.

There must be a room in the middle for the lobby. This room is divided into two halves.

The second half of the room is simple, used as a storeroom, storing new stationery such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and books that cannot be placed.

The first half of the room is used for the counter cashier and the placement of items. Make some cupboards and cupboards at the counter for items such as tea sets, tandoors, and snacks.

The lobby is separated by three rooms on the left and two rooms on the right.

If there are three rooms on the left, you can put books in one room. If it is newly opened, there will definitely be fewer books, so set aside a room on the first floor for books. If there are too many books, you can change the layout later.

In the study, you must make a few more large bookshelves, and then put the books in different categories. Let's put some ordinary manuscripts in it, and for the students who are in the imperial examination, put some subsets of scriptures and histories in different categories. When the time comes, make a tall ladder and let the guys go and help the guests get the books.

Then, the two rooms next to the study were put on a table and equipped with chairs, and they were specially used for people to read and make a reading room.

As for the reading room, it is like a library, with a large desk that can seat a total of eight people facing each other, and two benches on both sides of the desk--- forget it, let's put eight square chairs. When the time comes, those people will quarrel again because it is inconvenient to move the bench, and it will not be troublesome enough to mediate.

The two rooms on the right, one can be used to store pen and ink, and the craftsman can make some supermarket-like display shelves, and put the samples of pen and ink on the tray, and make a locked cabinet below to store the goods for sale.

Then, as in the previous life, next to the sample, a price card can be placed and let them choose according to their needs. In this way, if you can't afford it, you won't be embarrassed because the price is too high to buy.

The other room can be set up with tables and chairs, put pen and ink, and let the copyists copy the books. However, everyone who reads has a good face, should you add a wooden partition?

As for upstairs? Jiang Zhixia thought carefully, the customer group upstairs was going to target the rich.

What do rich people need? Chic, quiet, or a place to hang out with friends.

In terms of layout, there were two rooms for books----- although there are not so many now. However, after that, a steady stream of purchases was good.

The remaining four houses are ready to be made into private rooms.

It turns out that the second floor is a private room, so there is no need to change too many parts, just divide the previous house into two private rooms. In this way, except for a relatively small box that cannot be partitioned, there can be a total of seven boxes, which is not much.

When decorating, the box should be decorated more elegantly, for readers or vassal elegant people hobby.

For partitions, it is best to use wooden planks to partition them, and then use screens and draperies. can be partitioned but can't completely block the sound, saving what privacy is plotting here and causing trouble to the shop.

The most important thing is that the box must be a minimum box consumption, not trying to make a lot of money, but at least not losing money.

That's what the basic blueprint does.

There are many things to purchase, pen and ink, books, screens, curtains, paintings, tea sets, tea leaves, snacks, tandoor ovens for tea and so on. Oh, it's summer, and you have to buy ice. Again, this is a big additional expense.

Do you buy dim sum directly from a dim sum shop? Or do you want to do it yourself?

In the beginning, let's buy it first. What are the allergies, poisoning, etc., when the time comes, when the porcelain is touched, it can't stand the toss.

Choose a famous dim sum shop and negotiate a long-term delivery cooperation with the other party, and the price can be slightly discounted. If you can't get a very discount, you can go and sell half and give a few dim sum recipes yourself. You can always find a confectionery shop to work with.

Jiang Zhixia wrote and drew on the paper, for fear of missing something.

Finally, I wrote down the preliminary decoration drawings and design drawings and the things to be prepared.

A good memory is better than a bad pen, this sentence is the truth.
