"Sister is right, this is a good place to have a restaurant."
Gao Zhidan agreed.
She would not open a restaurant. If she had to choose, she would still like the previous shop, which she could use as an embroidery shop.
"Shall we go check out the third shop?"
After Gao Zhijun finished speaking, she took her three sisters to the third shop.
It's also just around the corner, but this shop is not in the middle, but at the end of the street.
When I opened the shop door, I found that the layout inside was different from the previous one. There were many rooms on both sides of the first floor, all separated. There was a large main hall in the middle and a small courtyard at the back, which contained four rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom.
Gao Zhijun took them to the second floor, which was full of small rooms and two corridors.
"What kind of business do you think is suitable here?"
Gao Zhijun asked Gao Zhiyi, Gao Zhishan, and Gao Zhidan.
"It's suitable for a grocery store. The small room upstairs can be used to store valuable goods, such as rouge, handkerchiefs, and jewelry. The first floor can be used to store rice, seasonings, daily necessities, etc."
Gao Zhiyi said that she felt this kind of decoration was suitable for a grocery store.
"I think it can be used as an inn. The first floor is used for guests to eat, and the second floor is where guests stay."
Gao Shishan said.
She felt that there was a lot of traffic here, so it could be used to open an inn.
If it was a grocery store, there would be one across the street. If there were two grocery stores on the same street, business would not be very good.
"I think my second sister is right. This is the most suitable place to open an inn."
Gao Zhidan agreed with Gao Zhishan that this place was suitable for an inn. She also saw a grocery store across the street, but its business was average.
"We've looked at all three shops. Discuss which one you want to take. This is voluntary. You can't take it and then regret it or complain about it."
Gao Zhijun said to her three sisters.
In fact, if she buys the shops, she can decide which shop to give to which cousin, so there will be no quarrel.
She didn't know what they liked to do. If she made the wrong choice for them, would they blame her if they couldn't make money?
After Gao Zhiyi, Gao Zhishan and Gao Zhidan discussed it, Gao Zhidan wanted her first shop, an embroidery shop.
Gao Zhishan wanted a second shop, she wanted to open a restaurant. The remaining one was the third one, which belonged to Gao Zhiyi.
Gao Zhiyi originally wanted to open a grocery store, but Gao Zhidan and Gao Zhishan told her that the store across the street wasn't doing well. If she opened a store there, business wouldn't be good either. If she wanted to open an inn, this location was ideal, close to the main road, and could provide accommodation for passing merchants. It could also be used to house students traveling to Beijing for the imperial examinations.
The inn doesn't need too many people, so Gao Zhiyi can just fit in.
Finally, Gao Zhiyi agreed to their suggestion and used it to open an inn.
"We've agreed. Zhidan wants the first shop to open an embroidery shop. Shishan wants the second shop to open a restaurant. I want this shop to open an inn."
Gao Zhiyi told Gao Zhijun the result of their discussion.
"Have you made up your mind? No regrets? No regrets?"
Gao Zhijun once again asked Gao Zhiyi, Gao Zhishan and Gao Zhidan that it was not too late to regret now, and they could not regret it after they opened the business.
"No regrets!"
The three of them said in unison.
It doesn't matter who wants that shop.
"Okay, since you have no objection, we'll take the property deed to Jingzhao Prefecture and transfer it to you. Later, we'll have to go to Ya Market to hire some people. You're opening a restaurant, an embroidery shop, and an inn. Should you hire or recruit people?"
Gao Zhijun said to Gao Zhiyi and the others.
If you want to do something, it's a matter of people.
"We don't understand this either. How about, sister, give me some advice?"
They hadn't thought of this, and they didn't understand it either.
"I think the shopkeeper, the cook, the embroiderer, these people must be under our control, so they are suitable for having indentures. Think about it, if their indentures are in your hands and they want to betray you, there is only one end, and that is death or a life worse than death. If you want to be safe, you can even buy back the waiter."
Gao Zhijun felt that people's character was really unreliable here.
Only when you hold the indenture of the people you bought, which is equivalent to holding their lifeline, will they dare not betray you.
If there is no indenture, your opponent can bribe them by paying a high price, and then frame you and kill you.
"I always listen to my sister."
Gao Zhidan said.
"I listen to my sister too."
Gao Zhiyi continued.
"I don't know anything, just listen to my sister!"
Gao Zhishan said.
"Okay, let's go to Jingzhao Prefecture first."
After Gao Zhijun finished speaking, she took Gao Zhiyi and the others to Jingzhao Prefecture.
When the prefect of Jingzhao heard that it was Princess Xiangyun who came to handle the house deed transfer procedures, he came out to greet her in person and asked his lawyer to handle it personally.
It took less than half an hour to help Gao Zhijun get it done.
After the formalities were completed, Gao Zhijun took Gao Zhiyi and the others to the Ya Market, where the broker from last time personally received Gao Zhijun.
He sent all the people who met the requirements to Gao Zhijun for selection.
As a result, Gao Zhijun selected two men with strong martial arts skills to protect Gao Zhiyi and her family. She also selected a shopkeeper, two waiters, two cooks, two handymen, a coachman, a doorman, two housekeepers, and a maid to take care of Gao Zhiyi. The total cost was 130 taels.
For Gao Zhishan, he chose two guards with strong martial arts skills, three cooks, two apprentices, a shopkeeper, five waiters, two kitchen maids to wash vegetables, a coachman, a doorman, and two cleaning maids. The total cost was 166 taels.
Gao Zhidan was given two highly skilled guards, a female shopkeeper, five embroiderers, five maids, a coachman, a doorman, and two housekeepers. The total cost was 293 taels. Because embroiderers were expensive, each one cost 35 taels.
After paying the money, Gao Zhijun returned to the princess's mansion with the servants she had bought.
He waited until Ji Guansen and Luo Mingkuan came to Beijing before buying a yard and letting them move out.
