Chapter 147: Flower
Such a big thing...
Mo Yi decided not to tell his family yet.
There have been too many good things lately, and too many things to worry about...
Anyway, the wedding date has not been decided yet, so the matter of using the dowry cannot be exposed.
I told my father and uncle that we could talk about my affairs in the fall after my brother has finished his exams and my sister has gotten married.
Drag it back...
After entering the house, she went straight back to the room. Mo Yuan was waiting outside her door, "Yi Yi, where did you go today... Hey, why do you look so serious?"
"Madame Zhao gave me something, and I need to think about it carefully."
"What's the matter? Do you need my help?" Mo Yuan found that he could do the same thing.
"Look at the account book." Mo Yi knew exactly how to control Mo Yuan.
Sure enough, the light in Mo Yuan's eyes dimmed, "Oh. Then you can take your time to watch it. Call me if you have anything else!"
Mo Yi smiled and went back to the house.
She now lives in a spacious house, and there is always one of the maids given to her by Nanny Zhao by her side.
Today we follow the greenery.
After entering the house, Xiangye came to greet her: "The girl is back!? Sister Luyi, the girl's bird's nest is already cooked!"
Xiangye learned the rules from Aunt Zhao and came back to teach Xiangzhi.
Now the two sisters can cook sweet soup and steam bird's nest.
"Bring it to the girl!" The greenness was very gentle.
Mo Yi was extremely satisfied with Zhao Ma and the other maids. There was no disrespect on their faces. They were even very nice to Xiangzhi and Xiangye.
You know, these girls used to have better food and clothing than me.
After washing hands and changing clothes, the bird's nest is at just the right temperature.
In fact, Mo Yi doesn't like to eat this. Every time he puts it at the right temperature, he swallows it in one gulp.
Today’s boredom is over... I just remembered to go see the greenery.
Sure enough, Lu Yi had a blaming expression on his face.
Mo Yi smiled awkwardly: "I'm not used to eating some of them. They're not as comfortable as drinking jujube tea..."
"Miss, bird's nest is a top-grade product for beautifying the skin. Do you think those beautiful ladies are all born beautiful? Wrong! They are all carefully raised. Keep your hands away from the sun and wind, and don't let your hands get rough from work. You also need to apply good oils. Especially don't use those low-grade perfume powders... Eat more bird's nests and white fungus! Aunt Zhao specifically told you to eat them every day!"
"But I see the Zhao family girls are not afraid of wind and sun!"
"..." Lu Yi blocked her for a moment, "Humph! When the nanny sees you eating in such an untidy manner, she will slap your hand!"
Mo Yi smiled, "I am really good at pretending in front of Aunt Zhao."
"Girl!" Lu Yi stomped her feet. Why did she always tell the truth?
Xiangye said, "Sister Luyi, our girl is much more lively now!"
"Oh!" Lu Yi shook his head and sighed.
Mo Yi sat down, opened the account book, and studied it carefully.
She had kept accounts before, but she didn’t know how to do it this way. I’m afraid even my mother doesn’t know how to do this.
Her accounting method was something she came up with herself and it is very simple.
It was originally a small business, and I don’t even remember the price of the imported materials…
So, sometimes I rely on guessing, and sometimes I estimate how much I have earned based on the money I have.
It’s a small stall, but it’s okay for a short period of time.
If there are a lot of items or the amount is large, it will not be accurate to record it that way.
This is probably the difference between a small workshop and a big shop?
The system that Manager Zhao and his team have set up... is troublesome to keep account, but as long as you record it carefully and completely, you can see: how much inventory, how much cash, and how much profit each month, it is clear at a glance!
This is last month's account... Manager Zhao said it's real...
Hehe, you really don’t treat me as an outsider...see all of this!
...Detailed account of goods, types, descriptions, purchase prices, and total.
And the general ledger... "The signature of the treasurer, the signature of the manager..."
The storehouse stores a small plate every ten days and a large plate every month. The storage of silver...
This is last month's income statement...
Sold... Oh, so many?!
Is this the purchase price? The price difference, she calculated... Tsk tsk... what a profit!
It made me so angry!
Next are taxes and fees... Tsk, no wonder Manager Zhao said last time that the cost of opening a store is really high!
The monthly salary and commission of the store employees alone is a considerable sum, and the store employees all earn quite a bit.
Song Jiafu and his people can't earn that much, not even close.
It's a big store after all.
Song Jiafu...
If I take over in the future, I won't be able to receive guests in person like Shopkeeper Zhao does. When I get married, I'll have to take care of the prince and the family. I'm afraid I won't be able to come every day like I do now. I can only check the account book at the end of the month...
Then the role of Shopkeeper Zhao...is it Song Jiafu?
After thinking about it again, it's too bad. Song Jiafu doesn't have the tolerance of Manager Zhao. Not even close!
She turned her eyes around and thought for a long time, and finally decided: go to the shop tomorrow to see if Song Jiaxing can keep the stall going.
If it works, just name Song Jiafu Qizhenlou!
People who are with good people are naturally more noble! Let him be influenced by you...
Oh, will people think: I haven’t even taken over yet, and you’re already placing your own people here?
...It can be said that it was given to me,
Then of course I can arrange someone...right?
Don’t be anxious!
She collected her attention and continued watching.
Over and over again, I put my own shop into the calculation, and found that as long as I wrote down every detail clearly, the checkout would be clear and accurate!
The next day, he sent the carriage to his own shop first.
The two brothers of the Song family were both there. When they saw her coming, they said, "Girl!" with a sweet smile.
"Come and have a look, how about it?"
"Business is good. Don't worry."
"Jiafu, come here." Mo Yi asked in a low voice: "Do you think Jiaxing can keep an eye on it alone?"
"Girl, what do you mean..."
"If I have something else for you to do, can he be here alone?"
Song Jiafu scratched his head: "I haven't thought about it before, how about we talk about this?"
"Okay. You two can talk more these days. It's not that urgent, but you still have to get ready."
"Yes." Song Jiafu was a little excited. He wondered what the girl wanted him to go for.
From that day on, Mo Yi began to go back and forth to Qizhen Tower every day.
Her handicrafts were also moved from Zhao Mama's house to the third floor of Qizhen Building. Every day, she would have a fixed time to do her own things.
But she is different now than she was before.
In the past, she would rub a piece of material, and her fingers would develop calluses.
Think horizontally and vertically...
But now, as soon as I pick it up and look at it, it’s in my mind. I draw it very quickly, and I have already packed up the things my father brought back.
Shopkeeper Zhao picked it up and looked at it, stroking his chin and thinking, and finally nodded: "I admire you! I can't do what you did, young lady!"
"Practice makes perfect!" Mo Yi said calmly, "I have already read the account books you gave me. I will understand everything after I check the inventory at the end of the month and then follow the accounting office to issue the accounts!"
"So awesome?!" Shopkeeper Zhao exaggerated on purpose.
Mo Yi said seriously: "This is actually very simple. It's all rules. Just follow them strictly. The difficult part is what you said: the ways of the world. How to attract and retain customers and make them happy to spend money.
How to identify good goods that are easy to sell, reduce inventory backlogs, and save money. This is not something that can be figured out in a short time. You, it is too important, I feel... you can't leave for a while!"
Before hearing the last sentence, Shopkeeper Zhao seemed quite proud.
After listening to it, he covered his face and smiled bitterly: "Miss Mo! You can't be like this..."
Mo Yi and Lu Yi both laughed.
"Miss Mo, your small business does have some unique features. Why not open a place in the store to sell it? That way, all kinds of customers can come into the store."
Mo Yi thought about it and said, "It's good, but these things are a bit cheap. Will they lower the quality of the store?"
"Heh, who said that if I have everything people want, I will be the best store?"
Mo Yi chuckled and suddenly remembered, "Outside, the small room next to the building, the one between us and the Wenxiang Pavilion, what is it used for?"
"That was reserved during the expansion, and the land is ours. The craftsmen at the time said that we should build it according to that area. Not only is the workmanship complicated and difficult to build, but the cost will also increase significantly.
I figured that building a bigger house wouldn't make much more money, so I gave up that piece. I built a small utility room and put some unused furniture and sundries in it."
"Every inch of land is worth a lot of money! Why not rebuild the place and build a room. Make a door between it and the first floor hall. Then sell these exclusively there, and kill two birds with one stone."
"That's a good idea!" Shopkeeper Zhao nodded in affirmation: "Okay, I'll call the craftsmen right away and let them discuss it!"
"etc!"
"What's wrong?"
Mo Yi was a little embarrassed: "If you really want to do it...then later, you can tell the prince that this is your idea, okay? Don't let me spend money right away when I haven't done anything yet!"
Shopkeeper Zhao laughed loudly and left...
"Does this count as a promise?" Mo Yi looked at his back...
