Chapter 114: Opening (1st Update)
The people who put it in the shop should preferably be literate. It's a pity that in ancient times, there were very few people who could afford to read and write, so Xiao Jinyue had to take a step back and choose those who were clever and had good character.
The second steward had been in charge of the purchase in the house before, and he had more dealings with outsiders on a daily basis, Xiao Jinyue planned to let him serve as the shopkeeper, and the candidate for the account room was more of a headache.
Almost none of the soldiers who retired from the battlefield had any experience in managing accounts, and just when Xiao Jinyue was about to go to someone Yazi to ask if there was a suitable candidate, Xiao Pingyuan sent her a person.
It was Xiao Pingyuan's personal guard, surnamed Yang. Despite his age of nearly sixty, his body is still straight, because he has been injured in his legs and feet on the battlefield before, and he walks with a slight limp, but when he stands still, it is almost impossible to see that his legs and feet have been injured.
According to her father, this Uncle Yang had helped him manage grain and grass in the army before, and he had some experience in managing accounts, and he knew that she was looking for an account room, so he took the initiative to find Xiao Pingyuan's self-recommendation.
It is when manpower is needed, Xiao Jinyue will naturally not refuse. She talked with Uncle Yang for a while and had a general understanding of the bookkeeping methods of people in this era. I have to say that she is really not used to the bookkeeping method of this era, not to mention complicated, and the efficiency is extremely slow.
Xiao Jinyue could only do a modern bookkeeping method and explain it to Uncle Yang.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Yang was most interested in the Arabic numerals written in the account book, and Xiao Jinyue remembered that people in this era still did not know Arabic numerals.
She could only start with Arabic numerals, and when she finished explaining the most common modern bookkeeping method, Uncle Yang was already fascinated by it.
With the manpower ready to open the store, Xiao Jinyue began to train them.
Xiao Jinyue emphasized the issue of hygiene, after all, it is something to be imported, and hygiene must be passed.
After the decoration of the store was completed, the customized display cabinets and display shelves were also installed, and Xiao Jinyue asked the second steward to transport all kinds of sugar from the workshop and place them on the display cabinets and display shelves one by one.
Then he prepared two large portions of all kinds of sugar, one was sent to the Nan'an Wangfu to the lord of Minghua, and the other was given to the prince of Zhenguo by her eldest brother.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
An auspicious day of the zodiac was chosen, and Xiao Jinyue's sugar shop opened.
Early in the morning, Xiao Jinyue and the county lord of Minghua went to the teahouse opposite the sugar store, sat in the private room by the window on the second floor, and looked at the front of the sugar store opposite, where the second steward was presiding over the opening ceremony.
"Jinyue, I didn't expect our sugar store to open, and there would be so many people." Lord Minghua climbed by the window, his eyes shining at the large number of heads at the door of the sugar store.
Xiao Jinyue was not surprised by this, three days ago she asked the second steward to post a notice at the door of the store, saying that the sugar store opened today, and everyone present, children under the age of ten, will give five lollipops and five candies.
Five days before the opening, no matter what kind of sugar you have, as long as you buy one catty, you will get eight taels as a gift, and buy more and give more.
I know that the sugar store has free candy to give, so there are many adults and children who come today.
Fortunately, Xiao Jinyue expected this situation, and asked her father for a lot of manpower to maintain order today.
When the time came, the second steward led the trained servants and maids, wearing the uniforms customized by Xiao Jinyue to find the embroidery workshop, stood at the door of the sugar store, unveiled the red silk, lit firecrackers, spoke briefly, and then announced the official opening of the sugar store.
The second steward asked people to carry two large baskets of lollipops and candy to the door of the store, and the two little maids were letting the children who came to line up and come forward to receive them one by one.
"Jinyue, I like even those lollipops and candies you make, I really don't know how you came up with that brain."
Xiao Jinyue didn't expect that Lord Minghua liked sweets like children, and teased her with a smile, "Although those candies are good, don't eat too much, otherwise you will lose your teeth, don't cry with me." ”
In fact, you can't blame the county lord Minghua, after all, those candies are not only beautiful in color, but also in shape.
Xiao Jinyue didn't plan to make candy and lollipops, but when the five-year-old Xiao Nanyi was fond of sweets, she overheard her mention it, knowing that she had eaten white rabbit toffee, and was surprised that the candy was still in the shape of a rabbit, so she asked her to make some too.
Xiao Jinyue explained to him that the White Rabbit toffee was not in the shape of a rabbit, but Xiao Nanyi didn't believe it. In desperation, Xiao Jinyue had no choice but to rack her brains and make a few lollipops to coax him.
Xiao Nanyi couldn't put it down when he got the lollipops, especially those animal shapes, he was very precious, he held it in his hand all day long, but he was reluctant to take a bite.
The second steward was surprised when he saw the lollipops in his hand, and knew that Xiao Jinyue made them, so he immediately ran to find her, and strongly suggested that Xiao Jinyue let the workshop produce these lollipops and put them in the sugar store to sell.
Xiao Jinyue saw that the maids in the house were interested in those lollipops, so after thinking about it, she agreed.
While the shop was still under construction, I went to a workshop and taught the workers how to make lollipops.
Without modern machines, nature can only be made by hand.
Xiao Jinyue took matters into his own hands, teaching while making it, and one of them, a fifteen-year-old man named Xiao Hai, learned the fastest and best, and his fingers were nimble, and the various animal-shaped lollipops he made were even better than Xiao Jinyue's.
Xiao Jinyue saw that he had good comprehension ability and the strongest hands-on ability, so he told him all the shapes he could think of, and suggested that he could add fruit and vegetable juice to it, and then let him try to do it himself.
I didn't expect Xiaohai's hands-on ability to be really strong, but in a few days, she made a lot of candies of different shapes just based on her description.
Even Xiao Jinyue was a little surprised when she looked at those colorful candies, although it was not as good as the countless candies in her previous life, but in this era, it was already very good.
Lord Minghua listened to Xiao Jinyue's jokes, not only was he not a little annoyed, but even a little proud, "These candies you made, not only do I like them, but even my mother is full of praise for them."
Not to mention my two little cousins, my mother asked them to send some to their house, but they finished eating in half a day, which is not counted, and they still want more, but unfortunately they are gone. Knowing that I opened the sugar shop, I immediately asked the steward to come and buy it. Look, the short, stocky man in the brown silk shirt over there is the steward of my uncle's house. ”
Xiao Jinyue looked out the window at the door of the sugar store, and sure enough, she saw a short and fat steward in a brown silk shirt getting out of the carriage and walking towards the door of the sugar store.
"Tsk, why is the steward in our house moving so slowly, and it took so long to come." The county lord of Minghua saw that the purchasing steward in his house had just turned over from his horse, and muttered dissatisfiedly.
