Qian Ruoyu nodded slightly.
Zhou Yuanliang could count and read, so he was not considered a incompetent person in ancient times.
Moreover, he is willing to do even hard labor, which shows that he is serious about finding a job.
Zhou Yuanliang said.
"If you're talking about expectations... I don't have any expectations. It's enough to have enough food to eat and save some money."
"My mother has spent so much time taking care of me. I must make a lot of money to repay her kindness in raising me!"
These words made Qian Ruoyu extremely moved. It seemed that Zhou Yuanliang was indeed the person she wanted to find.
"Yes, this lady admires you very much."
"If I give you a shop, what do you think is the most suitable thing to do with a shop that is neither too big nor too small? There is a yard behind this shop..."
After listening to Qian Ruoyu's words, Zhou Yuanliang thought about it for a while and touched his chin.
"This... I have a few ideas. If the store is small, it means that some businesses cannot be done, such as inns and restaurants."
"If there is a yard at the back, it can be used to store items. This means that this kind of business can be a long-term business or an emergency business... If this is the case, I think it would be a good place to sell medicine."
Qian Ruoyu suddenly woke up when she heard what Zhou Yuanliang said!
If you sell medicine, aren’t you also a person who makes the medicine?
All kinds of modern useful medicines are in our own laboratories, and these must include most of the traditional Chinese medicines.
I studied medicine, and if I add selling medicine to this, then this business can be done, right?
It really was a wake-up call.
At the beginning, Qian Ruoyu didn't think about these things at all, but now she suddenly came to her senses and looked at Zhou Yuanliang with a look as if he was about to emit a ray of light.
Zhou Yuanliang not only looks reliable, but also makes such suggestions, so he must not be a mediocre person.
Thinking of this, Qian Ruoyu spoke to him directly.
"Yes, your idea is very good."
"I own a shop two streets away. I just bought this shop and I'm short of someone. If you're willing, you can go to that shop starting tomorrow."
When he heard this, Zhou Yuanliang was stunned again.
Then his expression changed in a very interesting way, from ignorance at the beginning, to sudden surprise, and then to an exaggerated expression.
When he heard these words, he immediately rolled over and knelt down before Qian Ruoyu.
"My lady, is this true?!"
Qian Ruoyu saw his excited expression and just said lightly.
"Yes, of course it's true. This shop was just bought not long ago and we are in need of someone. If you are willing to go, you can manage the shop."
Zhou Yuanliang said worriedly.
"This... I have never run a business before. If I mess it up, wouldn't that cause the Majesty to suffer a loss?"
"This... I feel that I cannot take on such a big responsibility!"
Qian Ruoyu said calmly.
"It's nothing. Use it as a stage for you to practice. It's your first time managing a business, and it's my first time opening a store. Who knows, maybe there will be some wonderful results."
"If you are willing, stand up now. If you are not willing, just continue to kneel."
Although Zhou Yuanliang didn't quite understand what Qian Ruoyu said, Quan immediately got up from the ground and patted his knees gently.
He was extremely excited and had never thought about looking for a job, but he got one immediately.
When Qian Ruoyu saw him like this, she just said calmly, "Calm down. If you get so excited when something happens, how can you help me manage the store in the future?"
Zhou Yuanliang immediately forced himself to suppress his emotions, and after taking a few deep breaths, he seemed to calm down.
He said in disbelief: "I never thought I would get such a job... Please rest assured, Madam, I will definitely work hard!"
Qian Ruoyu thought for a moment and spoke to him calmly.
"If so...your monthly salary will be two taels of silver. If you have done a great service in helping me, your monthly salary will increase accordingly."
Zhou Yuanliang had never heard of this form of wages before, and for a moment he found it difficult to accept it.
Qian Ruoyu then spoke in a serious tone.
"But you must remember what happens next. If it gets leaked out, you won't have to do it again."
"This store is under your management. You only need to worry about how to buy and sell. The rest of the goods will be left to me."
"But the most important thing is that you can't let anyone know that I'm the owner of this store. Just pretend to be the boss of this store."
Zhou Yuanliang nodded immediately and said respectfully, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty... My mouth is as tight as a bottle, and I will never say a word to anyone..."
Qian Ruoyu knew that what he wanted to say was actually to keep his mouth shut.
Therefore, Qian Ruoyu felt much more at ease. As for other herbal medicines, etc., they were all in his laboratory. At worst, he could spend one night packing some of the herbs tonight, so that they could be conveniently delivered to the store.
It was for this reason that Qian Ruoyu stood up and walked towards the door.
"Tomorrow morning, when you go to the store, there will be a batch of herbs waiting for you at the door. Also, here are ten taels of silver. Take these ten taels of silver and buy some things you need for the store."
"This is my first test for you. If you can't even do this, then you don't have to come here tomorrow."
Zhou Yuanliang immediately nodded solemnly.
"Please rest assured, Madam..."
Qian Ruoyu left the Zhou family without even looking at him.
Yan'er followed behind him and immediately spoke behind Qian Ruoyu's ear.
"My queen...are you selling herbs? But we don't have any herbs. Should we buy them from someone else?"
"And I heard that this business is about buying low and selling high. Madam, who should we buy herbs from? What if others don't sell to us? Should we use the prince to scare them?"
"By the way, Madam, how do you set the price of these herbs? Doesn't that mean Zhou Yuanliang will have to find someone else?"
Yan'er's three questions almost shocked Qian Ruoyu!
Qian Ruoyu never thought that Yan'er would have so many questions in her mind, and she blurted them all out at once.
Qian Ruoyu still blocked Yan'er's mouth with two words.
"Stop talking!"
