Chapter 127 The Plate Shop
His hands were hidden in his wide sleeves, and his hunched body made him look very humble.
"The old general is old, and sometimes his mind is not very clear. I am sorry to make you all laugh." "
When the old general was young, he was on the expedition and was not often at home. Naturally, he was not close to the young masters. The young lady is his child, so it is inevitable that he spoils her a little."
Gan Fanren showed a standard business fake smile: "The old general loves his daughter very much, and we can understand it."
[It takes at least ten months to carry a child, plus the confinement period, so at the fastest, one child should be born every year. Even if eleven children are born in succession, it will take eleven years. Even sows can't give birth that fast! Gan
Tian really admired the wife of the old general. After giving birth to ten children, she was still able to educate them so well. She is a talented person.
Fortunately, the protagonist of this book is not General Tang, otherwise it would have become a child-bearing story.
In such a novel, the identity of a woman like Gan Tian is not good.
As expected, reincarnation requires luck. Gan Tian is very fortunate that she has done good things and was reincarnated into this novel. If she was reincarnated into a child-bearing story, it would be too terrifying.
She thought about it and couldn't help shuddering.
Hui Niang thought she was cold and quickly wrapped her quilt tightly.
"The weather is getting colder and colder."
"Yes, it's cold, I don't know how many women will suffer."
Since starting the sanitary napkin business, Hui Niang has become more sentimental.
The weather is cold, and both washing clothes and cooking have become painful. The water that can be warmed up by being exposed to the sun will become freezing cold.
If the family is diligent and has plenty of firewood, they can boil some hot water. If the family is in financial difficulty and can't bear to use firewood, they can only bear it.
How many women have to suffer in freezing water when their period comes.
The high price of sanitary napkins was not her original intention.
It seems that she should buy a shop as soon as possible and sell them herself. Only in this way can the price of sanitary napkins be cheaper.
As a person next to Hui Niang, Gan Fanren understands Hui Niang well enough. Seeing her worries, Gan Fanren gently put his arm around Hui Niang's shoulders.
"Since we are all out, it would be a pity to go back so early. Let's go and look at the shops." Gan Fanren, wearing a plain long jacket, led people to the direction of the shops, and walked in a mighty manner.
"These days, A Yue, A Zhi and I have been looking at shops, but the shops in the capital are either too remote, too expensive, or too small. There is always something missing."
"After running around for many days, I finally found a few. I will take my wife to see them today."
Gan Fanren chose two shops in total.
One shop has a large area and a good location. There is a street in front of the door. There must be many customers opening a shop here.
But this shop is too shabby and needs to be renovated.
Of course, the price of renovation is not cheap. The purchase of the shop plus the price of renovation will cost almost two thousand taels.
There was another shop which was a little smaller, but its facade and furnishings were very new. Although this shop was on the main street, it was already at the end of the street. However, the price offered by the shop owner was still very reasonable, only three hundred taels of silver.
"The previous owner of this shop was a pastry chef, so the shop is not very big. Although the shop is still on the main street, it is near the end of the street."
"Everyone walked down the street and bought almost everything they wanted to buy. Almost no one came here to buy snacks."
"And there are always people parking their carriages and horses at the door, blocking the road seriously."
The shopkeeper was very upset, but he could do nothing about these people. After all, the cost of raising a horse is not something that ordinary people can afford. Not to mention that raising horses is the exclusive right of dignitaries, at least they are all rich people.
The shopkeeper dared not drive them away easily, for fear of offending the nobles and getting into trouble, and customers did not dare to come to the door, for fear of causing trouble.
"Some people who wanted to buy cakes saw many carriages parked at the door and misunderstood that their cakes were for the rich, so they didn't dare to come because the prices were too high. Gradually, the shop's business became worse and worse, and the shopkeeper couldn't continue."
Gan Fanren couldn't help laughing when he thought of the shopkeeper's aggrieved look. "
The shopkeeper said that he spent 1,000 taels when he bought this shop, but when he tried to sell it, he couldn't sell it. As long as the buyers saw the carriages at the door, they felt that this shop was out of their reach. As a result, this shop didn't sell for half a year."
A good shop was ruined because of these carriages, but the shopkeeper didn't dare to say a word and could only sell the shop himself with grievance.
When the shopkeeper saw them coming to visit the shop, he served them tea and water, and he looked even more affectionate than if he had seen his own father.
Gan Tian couldn't help but sympathize with the shopkeeper when she saw him being so humble.
[It's a good thing to have a parking lot in front of the store, but he doesn't have the corresponding strength.]
[If I were the boss, I wouldn't sell ordinary snacks, but just make some beautiful packaging, and then invite a few great scholars to come up with some beautiful names, increase the price of all the cakes by five times, and then hold a limited sale event, and I'm sure I'll make a lot of money.]
[Other bosses want to invite so many rich people to their stores but they don't have the chance. He has such a good opportunity but doesn't know how to use it. He's so stupid.
Gan Fanren and Gongsun Yue both nodded silently. They had similar ideas to Gan Tian. They both felt that this was an opportunity. However, their purpose in buying the shop was to let Hui Niang do the sanitary napkin business, so they wanted Hui Niang to come and see it in person. Without
considering the money, Hui Niang was very tempted by both shops.
One was large in size and in a good location. It could be completed in one step with just some renovation.
The other was small in size but cheap, and in a good location, but it might not be enough in the future, and it would be a bit troublesome to expand or relocate.
Children make choices, of course adults want both. 】
【It is not easy to sell mother's sanitary napkins separately. If they are sold separately, those young ladies from official families will be embarrassed to come. We should put more novel small things and put the sanitary napkins in an inconspicuous corner. In this way, even if they are accompanied by male customers, they dare to come in and buy things. These small decorations do not take up too much space, and this small shop is just right. 】
Gan Tian does not think that girls should feel ashamed of menstruation, but the consciousness of this era is not something she can easily change. If she puts sanitary napkins in a conspicuous place without caring, I am afraid that customers will be scared and dare not come.
【The big shop can open a grain store for Dad, or a wine house is also good. Anyway, there are many hot pots, barbecues, and fine wines in the system supermarket. 】
Thinking of hot pot, Gan Tian couldn't help drooling. She was too young to eat these things yet. When she grows up, she will eat them to her heart's content.
[Or divide the shop in the middle, half for Nanxing to open a clinic, specializing in treating female customers, and the other half for my mother to sell some women's products. If they open the two shops together, it would be a perfect match, complementing each other.]
