After a night's rest, they told their two children not to run around at home, and after a brief discussion, they left the house and went to the street.
Because they were considering opening a restaurant, they first had to find out what local restaurants there were in the capital and what their specialties were.
Only in this way can they create their own brand and attract customers.
After thinking this through, they first went to several well-known restaurants to try their hand and get a general idea of their specialties.
"Sister Jiang, do you think our restaurant can be opened here?"
After some investigation, Chen Simin couldn't help but ask. She didn't have Jiang Xueying's keen market insight. Although she had come to Beijing a long time ago, she had never chosen a venue.
Jiang Xueying nodded, "Now it seems that most of the restaurants here are high-end luxury, and most of the food is for rich people. There is a gap for many ordinary people, but this part of the people is the general public, so we can consider starting from here."
"It does sound feasible, but can it be profitable? After all..."
Chen Simin did not finish what he said. After all, in such a place where every inch of land is valuable, if the business is not profitable enough to cover expenses, the restaurant will probably end up closing down.
This is obviously not what they want to see.
"Si Min, I know what you are worried about, but I will solve this problem."
Jiang Xueying smiled. Her goal was not to just invite ordinary people to come, but to build a restaurant that could accommodate people of all consumption levels. After all, every guest was a potential consumer.
Of course, this requires some preparation and careful planning.
"Yes, as long as Sister Jiang has confidence, I will do my best to support you."
It doesn’t matter if you don’t succeed!
Of course, in Chen Simin's eyes, there is nothing that Jiang Xueying can't do, and the word "unsuccessful" seems to never appear in her.
"Now that we have decided on this concept, the next step is to choose a good location. Let's go look around. There is no rush."
"Yeah, okay."
Then, the two of them turned to another street. When they passed by a place, they suddenly saw a lot of people gathering towards one place.
"Did something happen over there?"
Chen Simin was a little surprised. There were too many things happening in the capital every day, but usually someone would deal with them quickly and so many people would not gather to watch the fun.
Jiang Xueying didn't say anything, but her ears moved slightly. Her sensitive hearing told her that there seemed to be someone arguing over there.
"We're not in a hurry anyway, let's go take a look first."
When the two followed the flow of people into the inner circle, they could see the situation clearly. It turned out that two women were arguing. One of them looked very dignified in her dress and behavior, but she was hardly angry.
The other woman was dressed more gorgeously, with a look of pride in her eyes and her words were extremely harsh and hurtful.
"Why, sister, it's obviously you who doesn't please the master, but now you're angry with me. Don't you think you're being too much?"
The beautiful woman raised her eyebrows slightly and said sarcastically.
"You vixen, it's obvious that you have seduced the master, which is why he has disregarded etiquette. You are not helping him, you are harming him."
Her anger did not change the woman's expression. She still looked at her arrogantly and said, "Haha, that's also my ability. It's not your turn to say anything if I help him harm him, right?"
Hearing these extremely shameless words, the dignified woman seemed to be extremely angry and pushed her on the body.
At this moment, words suddenly came from the crowd that the prefect had arrived. The beautiful woman who was about to fight back instantly fell to the ground like a delicate willow.
The next moment, a loud angry cry suddenly rang out.
"Ming Rulan, what are you doing!?"
A middle-aged man in an official robe walked in from the scattered crowd. When he saw the woman lying on the ground, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, and he hurried over to help the woman up.
"Jiaojiao, you...what's wrong with you?"
"Master, you are finally here. If you hadn't come, my sister would have beaten me to death in the street."
The woman called Jiaojiao quickly hid in his arms, covering her face and crying in grievance.
This look made the man's face darken instantly. His eyes looked at Mingshi like sharp swords and he said sternly, "Mingshi, is what Jiaojiao just said true? You are so arrogant that you dare to beat my concubine in the street!"
"Master, that's not the case. What she just said..."
"That's enough. You are such a jealous woman. You really disappoint me. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today, I wouldn't believe there is anything you can't do."
After saying that, without waiting for her to say anything else, he picked up the person and walked out of the crowd. The several yamen runners following the man looked at Ming with sympathy and hurried to catch up, leaving the woman alone behind to be pointed at and talked about.
The farce on the street did not last long. After being abandoned, Lan left in tears.
Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the crowd dispersed.
"Oh, this woman is so pitiful."
Chen Simin sighed. In a place like the capital, there were many dignitaries and it was common for them to have three wives and four concubines. Jealousy among wives and concubines was very common, but only a few of them would quarrel in the streets. It would be really embarrassing if this got out.
Jiang Xueying looked at her receding back, something flashed across her eyes, but she still did not chase after her directly.
They haven't resolved their own situation yet, so it's not appropriate for them to rashly interfere in other people's affairs, especially emotional issues.
"Okay, let's forget about the excitement. Let's go find a store first."
"kindness."
After searching for half a day, they finally chose a relatively satisfactory location. That place was located in the southern part of the capital, and there were no restaurants in the three adjacent streets. This way, a lot of hidden competition could be avoided, making it suitable for the survival of the newly opened restaurant.
After waiting there for a while, the two saw Shopkeeper Li coming over to negotiate.
"Ladies, are you planning to buy this shop?"
As Shopkeeper Li spoke, he looked them up and down with his sharp eyes. Seeing that they were two women dressed in ordinary clothes, suspicion unconsciously appeared in his eyes. After all, it was still very rare for women to do business in this era.
"Yes, it's us."
Jiang Xueying did not hesitate at all. She was a modern person. Even though she came to this country where men were superior to women, she did not want to live a depressed life. She also believed that her abilities were no weaker than those men.
