Find a storefront

It was a whole day away from the hustle and bustle of the dining house.

Zhao Sichen came and went in the dining house, ushered in the send-off, and drank a few cups of osmanthus brew with him from time to time.

After seeing off the guests, he helped pack up the food house and prepare the ingredients for the next day.

The lights from the dining house continued until midnight.

When he finished cleaning up, Zhao Sichen breathed a sigh of relief.

Yun Bi saw that he was tired, so she said: "Miss, I'll go make a bowl of sobering soup and make it up for you." \"

Zhao Sichen hurriedly stopped her: "Don't toss, the degree of osmanthus brewing is not high, I'm not drunk." And just now a little maid has sent honey. I took a few sips of honey and was awake by this time. Let's go back to sleep. \"

Yun Bi was in a good mood, she blinked her bright apricot eyes, and smiled playfully: "It's okay, I still have to be busy in the kitchen for a while, and I will have to settle accounts later." Miss, let someone send you back first. \"

After Yunbi finished speaking, she didn't wait for Zhao Sichen to agree, and went straight to the kitchen.

Zhao Sichen shook his head, sighed, and walked towards the door.

The groom dutifully guarded the doorway.

Zhao Sichen got on the horse, and the carriage staggered forward.

Not far from the dining house and Zhao's house.

But a quarter of an hour, the carriage arrived at the door of Zhao's house.

Zhao Sichen returned to the room, before she lit the candle, she suddenly noticed that something was wrong, her heart jumped suddenly, and she asked in a low voice: "Who?" ”

A nice male voice whispered, "It's me." ”

Zhao Sichen's heart was relieved: "Little Third Master, you scared me!" ”

Wei Qianlang walked out of the shadow of the window, laughed in a low voice, and teased: You will also be scared? ”

Zhao Sichen lit the candle and said, "Why are you still in the Zhao Mansion now?" I'm exhausted. ”

Wei Qianlang said: "I heard that the county lord of Lexian has embarrassed you today. I'll come and see you......"

"Little Third Master......" Zhao Sichen's heart warmed, and he couldn't help but laugh because of Wei Qianlang's fuss, and said, "I'm fine now, you don't have to worry." ”

The yellow candlelight lit up and illuminated the whole room warm and bright.

Wei Qianlang sat down at the table and frowned, "Are you sure you're okay?" ”

Zhao Sichen nodded, "Really." It's just a few words of bickering between the youngest daughters, so that they don't feel aggrieved. ”

Wei Qianlang snorted, "It's fine if you're fine." ”

Zhao Sichen looked at him with a smile, "Thank you for your care." You're not just here today to see if I'm okay, right? ”

Wei Qianlang's face was hot, he coughed dryly, and said, "What's that...... I...... I...... I ......"

After stammering for a long time, he suddenly said, "I'm just here to see if you're sad ......"

After he finished speaking, his cheeks were hot and his heart was pounding, for fear that Zhao Sichen would misunderstand what he meant, so he added, "Don't think about it......"

Seeing that Wei Qianlang was anxious to clear his appearance, Zhao Sichen burst out laughing, suddenly stretched out his hand, patted Wei Qianlang's shoulder, and said, "Little Third Master, I understand." No need to explain it......"

Wei Qianlang saw Zhao Sichen's hand stretched out, and his body shook a little, not knowing whether to avoid it or stay still.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Sichen had already patted him on the shoulder and withdrew his hand.

The tips of Wei Qianlang's ears seemed to be filled with blood, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Wei Qianlang climbed over the wall and entered Zhao's house, and waited for her in Zhao Sichen's room until midnight.

Just because he heard about it, Le Yuzhi asked Zhao Sichen for trouble.

He waited for more than an hour, just to ask Zhao Sichen how she was feeling.

Now that he had finished speaking, he didn't know what else to say.

Zhao Sichen's fair skin was pale pink in the dim light.

Wei Qianlang's fingers moved.

He almost couldn't help it, and wanted to reach out and touch her soft and smooth cheeks.

Wei Qianlang's heart jumped a few times, and he was suddenly a little impetuous.

"I'll go first."

With that, he turned to leave.

But as soon as I opened the door and walked out of the door, I bumped into someone.

The man was wearing a light blue robe, with a thin face, three-dimensional and deep facial features, and a wrinkled brow.

He glanced at his shoulders and arms, which had been knocked crooked, and his eyes fell on Wei Qianlang, his face quite displeased.

"Uncle Zhao," Wei Qianlang hurriedly bowed his head and apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't find you at the door for a while." ”

Zhao Zhufei snorted coldly.

Nonsense, his Zhao Zhufei's turtle breath method can integrate himself with the surrounding environment, is it something that he Wei Qianlang can detect as a little hairy monkey?

Zhao Zhufei stood in place, looking at his back as he left in a hurry, squinting his eyes slightly.

Guarding the girl's boudoir in the middle of the night, he didn't even notice it. Defaulted.

After a moment, he turned to look into the room.

Zhao Sichen was about to close the door.

Seeing Zhao Zhufei, Zhao Sichen yawned: "Uncle Zhao, good night." ”

Unceremoniously close the door.

Zhao Zhufei's face was not very good, he snorted coldly, turned around and shouted: "The Zhao Mansion has been closed by the key, since the third prince has climbed over the wall and entered my Zhao Mansion, it is better to go out over the wall." ”

Wei. Thief. The Three Princes. Qianlang, he knows that he is at a loss.

Guarding in the boudoir of a girl's house in the middle of the night, no matter how clever he is, he can't make sense.

I had to swallow my anger, walked to the door, jumped up, jumped on the wall, and came out of Zhao's house.

Leaning against the outer wall, guarding for three full hours, Tian Hongda, who was so tired that he sat on the ground, was moved to tears: "555, the little third master is finally willing to return home!" ”

……

……

It was an instant hit from the dining house.

The arrival of one after another of the great families, relatives of the emperor, and the wives and young ladies of the dignitaries and nobles slowly brought the departure from the dining house to the fire.

Since there are only three tables per day from the dining house, it is full every day.

Zhao Sichen launched pre-customization and launched a giveaway.

If you wait more than three days, each guest will receive a small bottle of rose lotion.

If you wait more than seven days, each guest will receive a small bottle of rose essential oil.

Slowly, the products of the restaurant became famous.

However, it has been a month since it opened, and the orders from the restaurant have been lined up for half a year.

Yun Bi suggested that Zhao Sichen set up a small shop at the side entrance of the dining house, selling rose dew and essential oils: "Many ladies or ladies have tasted rose honeydew and ask their family members to buy honeydew.

We carefully explain each time.

Several customers said that if there was a way to sell it, they would not mind if they paid a lot of money. ”

Zhao Sichen smiled and quipped: "Sister Yunbi, it seems that you are not busy enough to leave the dining house, you are like starting a second business so soon." ”

Yun Bi stretched out a finger and nodded Zhao Sichen's forehead with a smile: "If you don't agree, just say it directly, but save your sharp teeth." ”

Zhao Sichen hugged Yun Bi's hand coquettishly, and explained with a smile: "Sister Yun Bi, what we are doing from the dining house is the business of famous and noble women, we must be high-end, private, we can't mix people, and we can't lower our prices."

Now the Lili Dining House has a slight reputation in Daqing City. Very few guests can book a private room away from the dining house.

I heard that in the city of Daqing, there is already a faint pride in entertaining guests in the dining house. ”

Yun Bi immediately understood what Zhao Sichen meant: "Therefore, we must maintain the mystery and nobility of the Lili Dining House, and we can't let people from various families come and go at will." The flow of people is chaotic, and it is impossible to keep it hidden from the dining house. ”

Zhao Sichen smiled and said, "Sister Yunbi, you're right. You can't let everyone come to the dining house to buy honeydew, but many people in Daqing City want to try our rose honeydewβ€”β€”"

Yun Bi naturally picked up: "We can go and sell it elsewhere!" ”

Zhao Sichen nodded: "Sister Yunbi, you are the same as I think." I've been looking for a place this month where we can find another place to sell some of the dishes and rose honeydew from the dining house. ”

Yun Bi was a little hesitant: "If you can buy dishes from the dining house outside, will the guests not come to the door?" ”

Zhao Sichen smiled and said, "That's not going to happen." The first is that the environment of the restaurant is important, and the second is that we can only sell some dishes that are no longer produced in the restaurant. ”

Yun Bi's eyes lit up: "We were supposed to change the recipe once a month-"

Zhao Sichen said with a smile: "Yes, the recipes must be constantly updated from the dining house. And those dishes that have been replaced can also be tasted by everyone. ”

Yun Bi smiled and shook her head: "Miss, you think longer than me." ”

Zhao Sichen already had an idea in his heart.

Now you need to find two shops.

A shop sells dishes from recipes that have been eliminated from the restaurant and offers a takeaway service.

Another store sells rose syrup, jasmine syrup, etc.

As for essential oils, this thing is too difficult to produce, time-consuming and laborious, and can only be supplied in the dining house for the time being, and cannot be used unless it is a high-ranking official.

Zhao Sichen has already taken a fancy to two places, both of which are on West Street in the west of the city, the most prosperous and lively business area in Daqing City.

This place is very prosperous, with streets and alleys, and one shop after another connected together.

West Street is crowded with people, coming and going, all kinds of people, etc.

Zhao Sichen's favorite store is in the middle of the most lush area of Chengxia West Street.

Whether you go east or west, you have to pass through these two stores.

Coincidentally, these two stores are also for rent.

Zhao Sichen found the owner of Zhuang Zhai Yaxing: "You can help me ask how these two stores sell." ”

The boss of Zhuang Zhai knew that Zhao Sichen was doing things well, and he went to work in a hurry.

quickly replied: "Miss Zhao, the shopkeeper only rents but does not sell, saying that it is a store handed down from his ancestors, and no matter how much money he makes, he refuses to sell it." ”

Zhao Sichen is not surprised.

People who can have two stores in the core location of Xixi Street in Daqing City, as long as they are not defeated, have a monthly rent, and do not worry about food and clothing.

Zhao Sichen asked: "It's okay to rent, I want to rent for a long time." Don't know how to calculate rent? ”

"20 taels of silver a month......

The owner of Zhuang Zhai Ya Store frowned when he saw Zhao Sichen, and before she could speak, he added: "The shopkeeper said that he would not bargain. ”

Zhao Sichen folded his fingers and calculated-

Two stores, that's 40 taels of silver a month.

It costs 480 taels a year.

Plus the decoration -

Obediently, these two stores can't come down without thousands of taels of silver a year.

At this price, you can buy a big house in a place where the location of the surrounding county is not so good!

The store hasn't opened yet, and nearly a thousand taels of silver have gone to the store.

Before leaving the dining house, she had already spent all the money in her hand-

Zhao Sichen hesitated.

Do you want to rent it?

The dishes and honeydew bought in the store, although they are in volume, are so high in style from the restaurant, and the store where you buy dishes and honeydew cannot be discounted.

The store can't be small, the location can't be biased, and it really has to be a shop in the downtown area, and there is no other place to choose.

Zhao Sichen couldn't, so he could only grit his teeth: "Boss, please help me contact the owner of the store, I have rented these two stores, please sign the contract if the other party is free." ”

Zhuang Zhaiya said with a smile: "The shopkeeper's family is very busy, and he deliberately asked a steward to take care of these things. The steward is next door, Miss Zhao, wait a moment. ”

After a short time, the Zhuang Zhaiya people invited a rich old man who was a silk merchant.

At first glance, Zhao Sichen thought that this old man was the owner of the store.

Look at this old man wearing three or five gemstone rings on his hands, a large jade pendant around his neck, and this fat head and big ears.

An ordinary shopkeeper in Daqing City is more magical than the average rich man.
