I just arrived at the wine shop, and I haven't had time to sit down for a while.

I saw Fang Yaoyi followed by Su Xiaofan, coming from Baixiangfang.

"Miss Fang is early." Qin Shou arched his hand.

Before Fang Yaoyi could answer, Su Xiaofan chattered, "Uncle, why are you still so polite." ”

Fang Yaoyi glanced at Su Xiaofan with disgust, slowly walked out of the counter, and saluted, "Little Li Gongzi is early." ”

"Last night, my father asked me to come to the wine shop early this morning, saying that the emperor and his old man wanted to see you and me."

"So early this morning, I came here with Fan Er and waited."

Qin Shou knew in his heart that the old man wanted to see his grandson and granddaughter-in-law.

smiled and said: "The people in the palace haven't arrived yet, Miss Fang, you and I will wait for a while." ”

Fang Yaoyi bowed slightly.

Su Xiaofan's girl was very active, and she ran to the back kitchen to find Zhang Sanniang.

In the restaurant building, there were only two people left, Fang Yaoyi and Qin Shou.

Qin Shou watched Su Xiaofan slip away, smiled helplessly, and said, "It's really thanks to the fan these days." ”

"If it weren't for her help, I don't know what would have happened to my wine shop."

Fang Yaoyi smiled lightly: "I'm still worried that the girl from the fan will cause trouble to the son." ”

Qin Shou hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That won't, won't." ”

The words landed, and the two fell silent again.

Qin Shou scratched his head, although he claimed to be a saint in love, he had never been in love.

You want him to brag to you that he will, but when it comes to love, I'm embarrassed and really not good.

Modern topics are clearly not suitable for this discussion.

Qin Shou pondered for a while.

I haven't had time to speak.

I heard Fang Yaoyi speak: "Speaking of which, Baixiangfang's business is really stained with the light of the wine shop. ”

Qin Shou smiled, "Miss Fang is polite." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard two yin and yang strange voices outside the door.

"Lady."

"Lady."

"Aha?"

Wang Liu and Chen Yi walked in from outside the door singing and singing, looking like they had just returned from buying vegetables, carrying large bags of ingredients.

Wang Liu carried the ingredients, squeezed his eyebrows and shouted at Chen Yi: "Lady? ”

"Aha?" Chen Yi has a hippie smile.

Obviously, these two also heard Qin Shou call Miss Fang just now, and deliberately teased this stubble.

Without waiting for Qin Shou to open his mouth and blast them away, the two of them sang and went to the backyard with the ingredients on their shoulders.

Qin Shou scratched his head in embarrassment and explained, "The two of them are like this, and I ask Miss Fang not to be surprised." ”

Fang Yaoyi's face turned crimson, and she whispered.

Qin Shou suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly changed the topic and said: "By the way, I heard Fan'er say that although there are many customers in Baixiangfang, there are still a few people who really buy spices. ”

"Hmm." Fang Yaoyi responded: "There are too many spice shops in Chang'an City. ”

"There is no obvious advantage in the price and variety of Baixiangfang, and this spice is not just needed, so most customers are just shopping."

"And the spices brought by the Hu people are rare these days, so it will inevitably have some impact on the business of Baixiangfang."

"That's right." Qin Shou nodded thoughtfully.

Although Baixiangfang is said to be the Fang family's business, it has always been taken care of by Fang Yaoyi.

These days, Qin Shou has troubled Fang Yaoyi a lot before and after, so he has always felt guilty about Fang Yaoyi in his heart.

Soon Fang Yaoyi will marry into her own family, and Baixiangfang's business should not let a married girl interfere again.

And Fang Yaoyi has been taking care of Baixiangfang for a long time, Qin Shou wondered if to open a spice shop for Fang Yaoyi to take care of, which can be regarded as making Fang Yaoyi not so boring at home.

But in fact, Qin Shou still has his own wishful thinking in his heart.

To put it bluntly, the spice shop is not just to make women's money.

Make some perfumes, masks and the like, won't this own spice shop come up?

When the time came, he struck while the iron was hot, opened a few spice shop branches, and gradually monopolized the spice business in Chang'an.

The liquor shop makes men's money, and Baixiangfang makes women's money.

Why don't you open a branch for the sake shop?

Because in Qin Shou's view, the catering industry of Du Jiu is not suitable for opening a branch in Datang.

One is that the quality of the meals is not easy to control, and the other is that Qin Shou's original intention was to build Du Liquor into a landmark restaurant in Chang'an.

And Baixiangfang, a spice shop, is different.

The store covers a small area, and the perfume mask can be purchased in large quantities from the system mall, and the quality is controlled.

As for why it was not directly distributed to Chang'an's spice shop as a manufacturer, this was naturally Qin Shou's own selfishness.

After all, distribution is indeed convenient, but it is far less profitable than its own direct sales.

One of the links involves layers of relationships, and when the time comes, things like perfume masks may be sold at sky-high prices.

At that time, the consumption power of ordinary people in Chang'an City was not high, not to mention that Hua always went to buy a bottle of perfume, even if it cost 500 Wen, I am afraid they would have to consider it.

And setting up your own store for direct sales can save a lot of costs.

It's just that the cost of leasing stores and other expenses will take a period of time to recover the cost.

Moreover, no matter what era it is, what industry is the most profitable?

Of course, it is the real estate industry, and some court officials only rely on money, and even don't even want to buy a suite in Chang'an for most of their lives.

If you make Baixiangfang into a chain store brand, it is actually a strategic investment in real estate in disguise.

If you can't afford to buy a store, you will first find a gatehouse with a superior location to rent it, and then slowly return to your capital with the profits of Baixiangfang.

Qin Shou silently drew the blueprint of his business empire in his heart, as for eating and waiting for death.

Good guys, who wants to eat and wait to die if they have money to make?

Just when Qin Shou wanted to get into it.

Outside the door, horses' hooves sounded.

It was the carriage without emblems that Li Shimin rode yesterday to pick up the two of them into the palace.

The sound of horses' hooves was fine, like rain hitting plantains, stepping on the bluestone slab, and heading straight to the imperial city of Chang'an.

After crossing Suzaku Street, cross the street.

The carriage stopped in front of the gates of the imperial city.

At this time, there were already people waiting in front of the city gate, and after Qin Shou and the others got out of the car, they led the two into the imperial city.

After crossing the stone bridge on the blue water, we crossed the red wall.

This is not the first time Qin Shou has entered the imperial city, he has been to the Forbidden City in his previous life, and he has seen the world.

But even so, when you are really in the ancient imperial city, you will inevitably feel a little emotional about the grandeur of the imperial city.

Xu is used to being casual by nature, even if he is located in the imperial city, Qin Shou is still leisurely, following behind the leading eunuch with his hands, looking around at the surrounding scenery.

However, Fang Yaoyi seemed a little restrained at the moment, and walked side by side with Qin Shou in a proper manner.

The eunuch who was walking in front saw Qin Shou's movements out of the corner of his eye.

He slowed down his pace slightly, and reminded in a low voice: "Childe, this is the imperial city, which is different from the outside. ”

"It's better not to look around."

These words seem to be dissatisfied, but in fact, they are also a reminder from another angle.

It is said that villains are difficult to raise, although Li Shimin has not been favored by any eunuch in history.

But Qin Shou naturally didn't want to offend these eunuchs, so he nodded slightly and said, "Thank you father-in-law for reminding me." ”
