Chapter 294 Planning to Open a Store
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye it is already the end of April.
The weather has warmed up. It's still chilly at night, but you don't need to wear such thick clothes during the day. A sweater will be enough.
During this period of time, Zhu Suisui did nothing but divide himself into two parts.
Some are students, and some are immersed in the ocean of knowledge about antiques.
There are some things that cannot be taught in textbooks. The stories told by Old Man Shou are all true stories and are therefore more valuable. These are things that Zhu Suisui cannot learn on his own from the books that Lu Lanxu gave him.
Originally, he wanted Zhu Lechen to help him look around and see if there were any good items.
Now since she had to come over every afternoon, she just did it herself.
A lot of treasures were indeed found among them, and the prices were very cheap. The residents nearby didn't understand these things, and some were even used to store things. Zhu Suisui said that if they bought them for one or two yuan, they would be happy for a whole day.
Before, Zhu Suisui could rely on the fog to guess the approximate price.
However, after having a son, she has a deeper understanding of the importance of these things in the market.
Archaeologists and antique collectors are still different.
Some things with historical research value may not necessarily be sold at a high price in the market. It turns out that things do not become more valuable as they age. It also depends on where they came from, what kind of historical stories are behind them, and what kind of historical figure their former owners were.
Things that come out of the palace are definitely valuable, but things that come out of ordinary people are different.
Also, antiques have an evolutionary process.
Let me give you a simple example.
For example, porcelain. A long time ago, jars from the Han Dynasty appeared. They were the most primitive celadon. Before the celadon of the Song Dynasty, they were usually mixed with pottery jars. Han jars have a history of more than 2,000 years, which is very long, but they are not as expensive as porcelain from the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, if you want to understand the essence of an antique, you have to dissect its production process.
Only by understanding the ins and outs of an antique can you understand how it came into being.
This is a very interesting process.
Zhu Suisui was fascinated by the subject. Although Han jars have no commercial value, they have historical value. Zhu Suisui bought one some time ago, and it was used by the owner of the house to pickle duck eggs.
She found that her mood had become very calm. This was truly something that could help cultivate one's character and required patience.
Looking at the items Zhu Suisui bought, they were of varying values. I asked her for her opinion and asked her to judge where they came from, including the dynasty, purpose, etc. She was almost always correct.
Old Man Shou was really surprised at Zhu Suisui's learning ability. He thought that this was not only the ability he taught, but also the result of Zhu Suisui's own talent.
Zhu Suisui felt somewhat guilty looking at the old man. There was a reason for her special ability. In addition, after her rebirth, her photographic memory made studying easier for her, and she even got some benefits in the college entrance examination.
In this process.
Another thing happened in the Zhu family.
Xu Hui took the initiative to propose that she wanted to open a store.
Over the past few months, Xu Hui has encountered many things, big and small. She was at a loss at first, then she managed to handle them reluctantly, and now she is able to handle them with ease. Zhu's family has changed a lot, and she has accumulated a certain number of customers, especially students who live nearby, who ask Xu Hui if they can open a store in the school.
This made Xu Hui feel a little excited.
The school definitely makes money.
Even in a small place like Shexian County, Boss Xu could earn a considerable amount of money by making money at the school gate, let alone the old city.
Students have a lot of pocket money, and they receive subsidies in college. College students also have part-time jobs to pay for their studies, which means they have relatively ample financial resources.
Apart from buying books, the only thing I spend money on is food.
It doesn't matter if you look through them.
Xu Hui discussed with Zhu Xingguo and wanted to open a store directly, which would be more stable.
Just when Zhu Suisui was there, Xu Hui brought up this idea.
They now have 5,000 yuan saved, which is after deducting costs and the money given to Zhu Suisui. They didn't make that much originally. They started serving lunch in the past two months, and not only has the business improved, but the profit has more than doubled. This was something Xu Hui had not expected, and it made her want to open a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
It is hard work, but you can do it for a long time.
However, these are minor reasons. The main reason is that Xu Hui's rice ball business is so good that some people are jealous and always report it to the urban management.
This has happened several times this month, and Xu Hui is still a little worried. Seeing other vendors’ stalls having their goods confiscated, she feels that setting up a stall is not a long-term solution.
This was the first time Xu Hui woke up and had her own ideas.
Zhu Suisui was very surprised. "Mom, I think it's okay. How did you find the store? I think it doesn't need to be very big at the beginning, but the kitchen hygiene must be good. If you want to open a store near a school, it must be even cleaner. When the time comes, get all the procedures for the business license completed before opening it."
This is very important.
Catering is more troublesome than other stores. There are many procedures and requirements. You need to go to the relevant departments to figure it out.
Xu Hui didn't quite understand these things, and when Zhu Suisui brought them up, she felt a little embarrassed, "Do I have to go through so many procedures?"
"I'll ask later and estimate the time it will take. But this way, if anything happens in the future, it won't affect our store." Zhu Suisui replied.
Upon hearing this.
Xu Hui quickly said, "No need, let your dad and I go run. You are so busy, how can we let you do these things? It's really not possible. Your brother is here. He has nothing to do recently anyway, so let him run."
Zhu Suisui is indeed very busy, and all these trips to different departments cannot be done in one go, and it depends on other people's schedule.
However, Zhu Suisui can ask Lu's family for help. There must be people from the industrial and commercial department and the health bureau.
But when she proposed this idea, the old lady rejected it.
Old Lady Zhu said, "We have already made some people in the Lu family uncomfortable by opening this small stall. If we ask them for help, they will criticize us even more. I don't believe that ordinary people can't get a license to open a store without using connections. Besides, if we really can't get it done, we can go back to the Lu family and ask for help."
Having said that, Zhu Suisui had no choice but to give up.
Wait until after you get back.
Zhu Suisui did not tell Lu Lanxu about this, but Lu Lanxu took the initiative to ask her about it.
"Will you be home tomorrow morning?"
Zhu Suisui nodded, "What's wrong?"
To this, Lu Lanxu replied casually, "It's nothing. A few days ago, a plan was proposed to modify our pipes. Workers will come tomorrow morning. You just need to stay at home and watch over it."
