The manager of Good Luck said, "Because of the Mid-Autumn Festival this month, many people ordered dim sum gift boxes as gifts, so our sales are relatively high. However, some high-end dim sum, because the raw materials are expensive, cannot be sold normally. After a period of time, they will spoil and have to be thrown away. This causes a lot of loss, so the profit is actually not high."
The manager of Shuangxi Tea House also said, "Yes, recently, our milk tea upstairs has not been selling well. Although the five-cent milk tea downstairs is selling well, we don't make much money, which can't offset the debt upstairs, so our profit is getting less and less."
Bai Wanyi didn't understand: "Why aren't they selling well? What about Piaoxiangju and Yuchuan Tea you mentioned?"
The manager said, "It opened just half a month ago. Our business hasn't been doing well since they opened. Their products are also cheap."
The managers of the two shops also did their best. As soon as the shops opened, they sent people to buy things to taste and also visited them in person. They found that the food was indeed much better than theirs in every aspect.
Bai Wanyi didn't believe it, so he checked the accounts of the two managers. Seeing that they were doing their best, he took advantage of the free time at noon and took people to Piaoxiangju.
Bai Wanyi originally thought that the milk tea shop where a cup of tea costs only one cent would be a small and shabby shop, but when he saw the decoration, he found that it was even more beautiful than his own Shuangxi Tea House.
On the first floor, near the door, there is an L-shaped counter facing outwards where people can take away their drinks. The L-shaped counter is a direct copy of Shuangxi Tea House. The bar on the second floor is creative, with a few scattered chairs inside, where many people sit.
The waitress saw Bai Wanyi standing at the doorway, and seeing that she was dressed elegantly, she approached her and asked with a smile, "There are elegant tables upstairs. Madam, would you like to come upstairs?"
Bai Wanyi took a look at the female waitress, who was dressed neatly and elegantly and behaved in a very confident manner, so he nodded and followed her upstairs. He found that the second floor was even simpler, with only screens as partitions. There were not many waiters serving, so it was quiet.
She ordered all kinds of milk tea in the store. After drinking them, she found that although the taste was not as rich as the milk tea she had at home, it also had its own flavor, and most importantly, it was cheap.
The cheapest is one cent, and there are five, ten, twenty, fifty, and one hundred cents going up.
Bai Wanyi tasted the milk tea but didn't finish it. He got up and went to the Golden Cherry next door. The two low-end dim sum and milk tea shops were next to each other. The decoration was similar and there was nothing special about it, but there were a lot of people queuing up at the dim sum shop.
Bai Wanyi stood by and listened for a while, and he probably knew the reason. It was simply that the food was delicious and the price was low, and they, the common people, could use it to visit relatives and friends.
Bai Wanyi didn't come in here. She asked people to line up and buy all kinds of snacks. She went to Yuchuan Tea across the street and asked someone to buy the honey-fruit-scented snacks and send them over.
The milk tea at Piaoxiangju costs one cent a cup. If you want to take it away, no cups are provided. If you drink it in the store, it costs one cent a cup without any additional charge. If you use the store's cup to take it away, it costs three cents.
In Yuchuan Tea, the cheapest milk tea costs 500 Wen. It comes in a transparent glass cup and can be taken away directly. The cup is given to you for free, and you can also drink it in the store.
The most expensive milk tea in Yuchuan Tea costs two taels of silver and is served in a sweet white porcelain cup. The same sweet white porcelain is used by Yuchuan Tea, but the ones used are better.
The thin white porcelain seems to be translucent. If you tilt it slightly, you can see the milk tea flowing in the cup.
Bai Wanyi drank milk tea and ate snacks, her face turned black. This meal cost her twenty or thirty taels of silver, but she found it damn delicious!
Although I don't want to admit it, Qin Wan's four stores are impeccable in terms of taste and environment, and it is reasonable for them to make money.
So where should I start?
It would be fine if it was just a few blocks away, but it was only half a street away, which had a huge impact on my shop.
Bai Wanyi came and took her people back. Qin Wan had no time to take care of her at the moment because she had to go to the farm to keep an eye on the harvest.
Yes, the crops I planted earlier have gradually been harvested in the past few days. Some are out of season, but they give us a glimpse into the success of hybridization. Some are in season, so we can naturally see the results.
She was looking forward to it, so when she heard Bai Wanyi was coming to check on the shop, she didn't care at all: "Keep the food fresh every day, and bring any leftovers back to the mansion and feed them to the people there. If they don't eat, don't we still have the shop in the manor? We have a big family, so we can always finish it."
Taoyao was the happiest when the shop was doing well: "Where is there any left? It's just some leftovers, and the people in the shop took them all home."
Qin Wan frowned. "We have to take as little scraps as possible back home, lest someone take them out and sell them under our shop's name. If anything goes wrong, we won't be able to explain it."
Tao Yao nodded: "Yes, I will give the order right away."
Qin Wan arranged matters in the capital, left Tao Yao in the capital to take charge of the overall situation, and then took her men back to Xiaoxuezhuang.
I don’t know what’s going on outside today, there’s a lot of noise and a lot of soldiers running around on the streets.
Qin Wan frowned: "What happened?"
The driver said, "They say there's an assassin at the Fourth Prince's mansion, and they're sending people to track him down."
assassin?
Qin Wan looked at the sky. It was already noon, bright and clear. An assassin in broad daylight? Was she sure?
The driver looked at her without saying anything and asked, "Miss, do you still want to go? Or do you want to wait until peace comes in a few days?"
Qin Wan shook her head and lowered the curtain: "The crops can't wait, let's go."
The carriage staggered towards the outside of the city. Outside, the officers and soldiers were chasing the assassin very brutally. They broke into the roadside shops and people's homes to check.
Some people even stopped the carriage.
