Chapter 510: Starting a New Business
Li Qiqiao is straightforward. Once she has a good idea, she will call up troops and go to battle at dawn.
In less than half a day, she went to the market to hire five men. She
also bought a few bamboo baskets, filled them with thick cotton and soup pots.
Everything was ready, and Li Qiqiao put different flower ornaments on the finished milk tea tubes to distinguish the flavors, and then put them into the baskets one by one.
"Carry these on your backs and go from street to street. Remember to tell customers that we go to a fixed street every afternoon and sell for an hour, so that they don't have to come to the store to buy."
"In addition, our water shop can also deliver goods to your door. If anyone wants to order in advance, just pay the money and we can deliver it to your door at any time regardless of the weather." Li Qiqiao instructed them.
What she wanted was not just to sell on the street.
More importantly, she wanted to spread the word that Jiang's water shop can deliver goods to your door!
After all, hot milk tea in winter warms the body and should be a good thing to buy. If someone wants to drink it for several days in a row, then just order it in advance and wait for delivery at home.
The men responded in unison, and with a yellow flag with the words "Drinking tea" written on it, they hurried out.
Sure enough, this method worked immediately.
Those who were too lazy to go out on the street opened their doors when they heard the hawking, bought one or two cups and went in.
Some even ordered a can of tea for several days, as it was delivered to their door.
"My family lives in Caoqing Lane. Send two bamboo tubes to me at noon tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
"Also at my home. My father loves to drink it. If you are willing to send it, I don't have to go out. Order for half a month first, and wait until he gets tired of it." "
You will charge more for sending it to my door. No? That's great! My daughter's full moon will be the day after tomorrow, and we will hold a small full moon banquet. Then you can send twenty tubes of pearls, so that my family can use them for the banquet."
Soon, "drinking tea" became a scenic spot.
At the entrance of each alley in the capital, you can see a few young men carrying a small yellow basket, walking around and stopping, and knocking on the doors of several houses from time to time.
Even some people who don't like to drink milk tea are attracted by this posture and can't help but follow the trend and want to order one or two tubes.
It's just the price of a tube of milk tea.
It can let ordinary people feel the convenience of having the service delivered to their doorstep. Who wouldn't want to give it a try?
It's only been a few days since then, and Li Qiqiao's water shop business has become prosperous again. Not only has the turnover increased, but even the number of customers who come to buy has increased.
It's just that the two young girls are tired.
At the end of the day, their hands are red from rubbing the pearl balls.
But Li Qiqiao didn't let them down, and promised that as long as the business is prosperous, there will be a reward at the end of the month.
On this day, Jiang Fengze's shoulder was much better. When he accompanied Xiao Lanyi to the street to buy clothes, he happened to see a few "yellow bag" strong men queuing in front of the door to fill milk tea.
Xiao Lanyi picked up the small yellow basket and said with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, your "Yinchama" is very popular now. Even the brothers in the parade ground often order some to drink."
Thinking of those sturdy men, rubbing their hands together, waiting for the excitement of milk tea, he couldn't help but smile.
Li Qiqiao was also very energetic and said happily, "This is nothing. There is something even more amazing. The grandson of Pei Shangshu is going to have a birthday. He just sent someone to say that he wants to put a birthday congratulations to his grandson on the baskets of our temporary workers, so that the whole capital can be informed."
Temporary workers in the water shop walked all over the street. No matter where they went, as long as they could read, they would know that Pei Jinbao was having a birthday.
For this, Mr. Pei spent 100 taels of silver.
For no other reason than to make his grandson happy.
Jiang Fengze was shocked, "There is such a thing? Isn't it because of too much money?"
Xiao Lanyi laughed, "You are such a fool, what's the big deal, this is called [co-branding]!"
"Some time ago, Cuju competitions were popular in Bohai City. A Cuju team won four games in a row. As a result, even the local canned food shop printed the flag of the Cuju team and produced co-branded canned food, selling hundreds of cans a day!" Xiao Lanyi talked endlessly.
Co-branding?
Li Qiqiao's eyes widened.
She accidentally learned something new.
It seems that her shop can also use its current fame to find more ways to make money.
One is to make money.
Secondly, it can also be a strong alliance to make their own water shop more famous.
Xiao Nuobao is still in the palace, and she didn't know that during the days when she was away from home, her second sister-in-law was busy buying and selling.
When Mu Yihan left the court, he asked Ali to buy a few tubes of milk tea for his little cotton-padded jacket.
Unexpectedly, he bought a joint model with the Pei family.
Looking at the words on the milk tea tube that congratulated Pei Jinbao on his birthday and the big fat face drawn on it, Mu Yihan raised his eyebrows and found it interesting. After
Xiao Nuobao asked Ali, she learned that her second sister-in-law had come up with a joint model and asked the Pei family for an extra two hundred taels of silver. She couldn't help but put her hands on her hips with joy.
The second sister-in-law is still smart!
The temporary worker carried a basket to paste the words on it, and the price was one hundred taels.
Each tube of milk tea was pasted with a small image of Jinbao, and an extra 200 taels were added.
This can be said to be doing business to the extreme, making a lot of money with little effort!
In winter, there are not many things to do.
After Xiao Nuobao laughed enough, in the palace, apart from eating and sleeping, he took the palace maids and eunuchs to play in the garden.
Because the little princess was easy-going, everyone liked to be close to her.
So every time Xiao Nuobao strolled around the palace, there was a string of "tails" following behind her.
In order to keep the princess in the palace longer, Chunmei and Wu Que and others changed their tricks every day to entertain the little guy.
Look, now the eunuchs put their hands together and lifted Xiao Nuobao to play the sedan chair.
The palace maids watched with laughter, and borrowed a stove from the kitchen to light a fire and roast sweet potatoes for Nuobao.
The young girls crowded together, chattering, adding vitality to the Yu Garden in the cold winter.
Of course, these were against palace rules.
However, in order to keep the concubine, Mu Yihan turned a blind eye and did not allow anyone to interfere.
In the Yu Garden, little Nuobao was sweating from playing, and when he was tired, he sat down to eat sweet potatoes, his legs swinging happily.
Little Nuobao's bell-like laughter came into the study, which made Mu Yihan happy and more motivated to review the memorials.
But the little fat girl felt sorry for her father. She
didn't want to see him always so busy with government affairs.
So she held up the roasted sweet potato, ran to find her father, and deliberately threatened, "Daddy, come out and play too, otherwise, I will steal your jade seal, lulululu!"
This made Mu Yihan laugh, and he simply put down the memorials and played with the concubine for a while.
In winter, the cold wind crouched at the foot of the wall. After looking at the cute little darling for a while, it seemed reluctant to hurt her and walked around the little fat girl.
But one palace cat was unlucky.
It was caught by the wind and shivered with cold. It jumped into the fire with a shiver. When it jumped out again, its whiskers were burnt and curled, and its body was covered with roasted sweet potato skin.
The eunuchs laughed when they saw it.
Wu Que was a cat slave. He took the little cat away with heartache and hurried to the imperial hospital.
