Chapter 245: You will regret not having enough people when you need them
The new source of income Xia Daohua thought of was still opening a shop.
However, this time, what she wanted to open was not a snack, candy and gift shop, but a teahouse.
Xia Daohua has made a careful investigation and found that there are more than a dozen teahouses of varying sizes with good reputations in Jixiang County, and there are even fewer that are not so famous.
The customs of Kissho Prefecture were deeply influenced by Kyoto. Drinking tea was popular in Kyoto, and Kissho Prefecture was no exception.
With such a "mass base", there is no need to worry about business if you open a distinctive teahouse.
After her teahouse opened, she could not only sell the common black tea, green tea and other kinds of tea in the market at that time, but also sell scented tea, milk tea, medicinal tea, and even various special drinks and coffee.
Let alone anything else, just this milk tea has so many new varieties!
She was amazed by the milk tea shops that sprung up like mushrooms after a rain back then.
By the way, there are two milk tea chain stores of different brands in her space supermarket!
She just doesn't believe that people of this era can withstand the charm of milk tea.
As for the dim sum, snacks and fast food used to go with tea, there are countless of them, and many of them are rich and varied that people at that time have never seen or heard of before.
If one or two new models are launched after a period of time, such as about a month, then if you only use finished products in the supermarket and do not develop new products, you can use them for at least several years and ensure that they are not repeated.
However, the location of the teahouse still needs to be carefully considered. It is not easy to find an ideal store that meets all the requirements.
And she needed people, lots of people.
We need reliable and truly trustworthy shopkeepers and accountants.
You also need a waiter with sharp eyes, honest character, hardworking hands and feet, eloquent speech, and decent appearance. The waiter's appearance can easily affect the mood of the customers.
They are service personnel, so their appearance doesn't need to be too outstanding, but they have to be pleasing to the eye. The minimum requirement is that they can't make people feel annoyed, upset, or startled at the first sight of them.
In addition, we will also need several tea artists, two zither players, two storytellers, and preferably one or two chefs.
Not only does it take people to open a teahouse, but the "Daohuaxiang" store also needs people.
Although she has cameras to secretly monitor the behavior of her employees, she can only watch the footage recorded by the cameras herself and cannot easily take it out and show it to others.
Furthermore, although keeping your own accounts is helpful in concealing your income, it is still too much trouble.
Xia Daohua is a lazy person at heart.
She especially doesn't like to worry. But ever since she came here, she seems to have been worrying all the time.
Alas! One only regrets not having enough when one needs it!
Xia Daohua suddenly understood why the ancients attached so much importance to family, and even why there are so many family-owned businesses in modern times.
The most important thing is that talented people are hard to come by, and trustworthy people are even harder to find.
Instead of pinning your hopes on strangers whose loyalty is unknown, it is better to carefully examine, select and train suitable people from your own family.
Being a family member does not necessarily guarantee loyalty.
But with the identity of family, there is a certain degree of understanding and trust.
It is naturally easier to discuss cooperation based on understanding and trust.
As family members, especially in ancient times, they often share the same fate. The fate of the entire family is tied together, and the relationship between them is inseparable.
Even if, like the fourth and first wives of the Xia family, they signed a document of severing their relationship and filed it with the government, this would only be useful in general circumstances.
For example, during festivals, you can stop giving gifts if your two families are no longer related. For another example, when you meet each other on weekdays, you can treat each other as strangers, acquaintances, or neighbors according to etiquette.
But when it comes to some serious cases, the document of severing ties of relationship is useless, as it is not applicable to the entire family.
For example: if the fourth wife rebelled, the first wife would still be beheaded. If the first wife colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, the fourth wife would also be implicated and imprisoned.
Xia Daohua couldn't help but think about asking someone in the family for help.
It’s a pity that among the Xia family, the children of the fourth room are still young, and Zaohua and Liulang of the fifth room are even younger.
In the second room, only Erlang and Taohua are available.
He had met Erlang's wife, Zhou Yunniang, and she seemed to be a sensible person. But on the one hand, she had Grandma Qu and several children to take care of. On the other hand, he didn't know Zhou Yunniang well enough to hand over such an important matter to her based on just a short period of time together.
As for the third house, the original body was not very familiar with the two young ladies of the third house. After Xia Daohua traveled through time, she had little contact with the two of them - after all, Wu protected them so closely that they could basically not be relied upon.
As for the uncles, aunts and the like, Xia Daohua knew clearly that although she had set up a pickle workshop in Beiguan Town before, in these people's minds, she was still a junior and a little kid.
Even if someone praises you for being smart and sensible in front of you, and says you are very capable behind your back, in the final analysis, you are not convinced of yourself in your heart.
When these "elders" get angry, you can't control them!
What's more, money can move people's hearts.
What if some unreliable person meets someone who uses tricks like Xie Fanglan, and most of them will collude with insiders and outsiders... Who can I go to for justice then?
At least at this stage, I'm afraid these people cannot be used for our own benefit.
well!
Where does this person come from?
Do I still need to go to a dental clinic to hire or buy one?
As Xia Daohua thought about it, she became like a flower that had lost its water and wilted completely.
She couldn't help but miss the modern society again. Although it was not easy to find employees who suited her wishes at that time, it was much easier than the Great Chu Dynasty!
After biting her handkerchief with resentment for two full minutes, Xia Daohua put aside her plan to run a teahouse and started writing a letter to Beiguan Town.
When the Xia family migrated, Li Zheng Wang and Juren Feng did not leave either. Now that they have settled down, they want to ask about the situation in Beiguan Town.
I wonder if the war over there is over. Will the tax collectors and police officers who come to the village still be as fierce?
The prevention facilities in the village should still be useful.
Before leaving, Xia Daohua racked her brains to come up with some ways to set up traps using local materials, and she generously shared them with the villagers.
In addition to the letter which was nominally addressed to Wang Lizheng but was actually addressed to all the villagers in Beiguan Village, Xia Daohua also wrote a letter to Jiang's parents' home.
Jiang originally planned to stay at her parents' home for two days before leaving, after all, she might never see them again in her life. But because she had so many things to do and left in a hurry, she only went to her parents' home to say hello and stayed for less than a day before returning.
My neck hurts! Please vote! Good night, sweet dreams, see you tomorrow. Love you, ( )
