Beijing is bustling with shops, with new stores opening and some closing every day.

Therefore, when the sugar shop was renovated, in addition to a few nearby neighbors, they came to inquire about it.

Rouge gouache sells well, why did it suddenly change to sell sugar.

These are clearly two things, things that are not related to each other.

In those days, Liu Er, the shopkeeper of the shop, welcomed people into the door with a smile, and after playing some Tai Chi, he sent people out with a smile.

Whoever asks is the meaning of the master's family, he is a shopkeeper, where can he know so much.

But when I get home at night and lie in bed. Liu Er had to think about it late at night to fall asleep, and he didn't feel as relaxed as in front of outsiders.

Especially a few days before the opening, I received a message from the lady in the palace. The guide price on the list, as well as the arrangement of publicity and momentum.

Liu Er was full of praise for the boldness of Cheng Concubine Niangniang. The smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, and the people living in the outer city are Han people, Hui people, etc.

According to the Eight Banners, the inner city is divided into plots, and the people who live there are all the children of the Eight Banners, and most of them are princes and nobles, and relatives of the emperor.

Those shops on Dongzhimen Street, the owners behind each one, will not be ordinary people.

Although the Sun family occupies a fat shortage, it can barely be regarded as a medium-sized family when it is placed in Beijing.

So I could only pick a place in the outer city and buy two small shops that were not bad, but they were not the best ones.

There is no way, in all dynasties, the housing prices in the capital are not cheap. In particular, this kind of frontage shop with a shop in front and a yard in the back can accommodate people.

Liu Er could already think of hanging a good-looking sign under the signboard at that time.

It reads "The emperor said it was good after eating", so it must be a guest.

As for whether the emperor will have an opinion, isn't there their mother-in-law? Now who in Beijing doesn't know that their mother is deeply favored by the emperor.

After entering the palace for less than a year, he was promoted to the throne, and he also raised the fifth elder brother, and other concubines can't compare!

But in addition to the joy, there is also a lot of pressure. The main family invested so much money in the toffee business.

Niangniang trusted him and made him the big shopkeeper. If the business is not completed, he will be caught up in a small matter, and the face of the palace lady will be lost.

He must watch carefully, and he must not make the slightest mistake!

Firecrackers crackled, and the outside of the store was already on the third floor, and many people gathered on the outer three floors, blocking the entire street.

Fortunately, according to Niangniang's instructions, I found more than a dozen officers and soldiers to come over to help maintain order.

Otherwise, if something happens and the good days are stained with bad luck, how will the business go smoothly in the future!

Passerby A: "The emperor said it was okay after eating?" "Hey, this shop has such a big breath!

Passerby B: You don't know yet, this shop is the property of the Sun family, and there are people in the palace!

I heard that this recipe for making sugar was given by the mother in the palace. If the emperor doesn't like it, this lady dares to hang it under the signboard casually, it is a crime of bullying the king!

Passerby A: Really? Who of you can know this?

What do the palace ladies want, they still care about this money!

Passerby C: I testify that what he said is true, and that our family also has a lady in the palace.

A few days ago, I sent someone to send a box of this toffee back, and the young lady, young master, wife, and ancestors of the family all liked it.

I heard that this store opened today, so I specially asked the two of us to buy some back to help add popularity and warm up the scene.

Passerby A: The whole street is the most popular in this place, where to use warmth!

Passerby: Eh, I'm also here to add popularity, and by the way, I'll buy some to go back......

Passerby: So are we, what about you two......?

Passerby: The two of us are not, our master heard that the toffee in this shop is good for the body, so let me buy some back.

Passerby: We heard that there was a candy shop with milk candy, and the emperor said it was good after eating it, so we came to see it.

......

Liu Er listened to the voices of discussion around him, and looked at the crowd, those who were dressed like people from various prefectures and stewards.

The slap is getting stronger and stronger, with these people here, it must be a good opening today.

When the auspicious time came, Liu Er's shopkeeper was wearing a big red embroidered Fu shirt, standing at the door of the store, and shouted loudly,

"Thank you to all the fathers and fellow villagers, the lord, the wife, the son, and the girl for the ceremony. Honey Zhai opened today, and the first three days of the opening will be 20% off. ”

"Everyone who has money has a money field, and those who don't have money have a personal field, welcome to the store."

After Liu Er finished speaking, he pulled the red silk hanging under the plaque, revealing a signboard with red letters on a black background.

Then he stepped aside, stepped out of the door and greeted the guest with a smile. The prepared more than 2,000 catties of toffee were sold out in less than two hours.

The guests who came to buy candy didn't even see the shadow of sugar.

By the time the store closed, the output for the next half of the month had already been set, and the neighboring stores were envious.

Liu Er excitedly calculated today's accounts back and forth three or four times. After making sure that nothing goes wrong, I happily put down the abacus.

crossed Erlang's legs, and said to his wife Su, who was also excited on the side,

"Niangniang is really a business wizard, and the profits of this toffee business are far beyond our imagination."

"Today, the spot alone sold for 17,254 taels of silver. The loss is also more than 100 catties, although it is a bit much, but it is still expected. ”

"For the remaining half a month, the share of 200 catties per day has been decided. Because it was decided within three days of opening, it was still counted as a 20% discount, a total of 24,000 taels. ”

"Half of the deposit, and today I received twelve thousand taels of silver. In just a few hours, not only did the cost recover, but also made a lot of money. It is worth the profits of the rouge shop for several years. ”

"Let me tell you, after so many years of abacus, for the first time, there is so much cash in the past, from my hands."

Su Shi rubbed his sore waist, sighed and said, "Isn't it? After following my wife for so many years, I have seen a lot of the world. ”

"Not to mention anything else, Niangniang was elected to the palace, and many of the dowries that were originally prepared were converted into cash."

"I watched from the sidelines in those days and helped deal with it. Although there are many of them, they are not as good as they are today. In just a few hours, tens of thousands of taels were entered, which was commendable. ”

"But the head of the house, eight taels of silver and a pound of sugar, those people didn't even blink an eyelid."

"When you buy it, it's dozens or hundreds of taels, and it is said that Jiangnan Fugui Township is still compared to the capital."

Su Shi thought that when he was in Suzhou before, the meal of the masters was not a small amount.

Sometimes, a slightly more elaborate dish is accompanied by 10 chickens and a variety of fruits.

Don't get tired of eating, don't get tired of fine, Zhong Ming Ding food home, nothing more than this.

There are also people who care most about decency, and every time the clothes are washed, the color will be dull. The delicate embroidery on it will also be fluffy and distorted.

Therefore, these people's clothes will only be worn once, and they will never wear washed clothes, and they are extremely hungry for this.

But are there many such people?

Much, but not so much. Most families can afford to have twenty or thirty slaves. But he is absolutely reluctant to spend dozens or hundreds of taels to buy candy to eat.

After all, now for ten taels of silver, you can buy a little scalper!

Liu Er said, "Your eyelids are shallow, this is Jingshi, at the feet of the Son of Heaven!" Nothing is lacking, there will be no shortage of officials and nobles. ”

"You think it's more, I think it's less. If I knew that this was the case, I should have persuaded my mother to open and send something else. ”

"One pound is cheaper than two taels of silver, how much money do we make! I can't think about it anymore, the more I think about it, the more my heart hurts. ”

"Put the accounts away, and send them to the palace tomorrow for the mother to see, this is really a good business."
