Chapter 404 403 Marriage 2
Although Su Xiaomei is not very old, she has already helped her mother and elder sister manage the family shops. Xun Wan followed them to several shops of the Su family, including restaurants, grocery stores, and cotton quilt clothing shops, which sold food and clothes, all of which are indispensable to people's daily lives.
Su Xiaomei asked, "Sister Awan, what kind of business do you want to open?"
Xun Wan smiled awkwardly: "Just now I heard you say that your family started out as a breakfast stall. This capital is not... big... right?"
The Su family's breakfast stall had been there before Su Xiao was born. She couldn't relate to the various experiences of the stall. She nodded and said, "I heard from my elder sister that our life in Beijing was very difficult at that time. We could only start from a small stall and earn one penny at a time."
Xun Wan thought to herself, my father is now a minor official in the capital, and we have just moved to the capital. Everything is expensive in such a big city like Bianjing, and her family is struggling to make ends meet, so they have to increase their income, otherwise they will not be able to make ends meet.
"How much does it cost to set up a small stall?"
"Sister Wan, you're going to sell breakfast too? What delicious food are you selling?"
Xun Wan quickly shook her head, "We are originally from the south, and most people in Kyoto like pasta, which I can't make." She has a talent in cooking, and it's already pretty good that she can take care of her family's meals.
"So what kind of small business is Sister Wan thinking about?"
Standing in the center of the busy street, Xun Wan looked around and saw that apart from the Su family restaurant and grocery store, the others were either big restaurants, silver shops, pawn shops, or exquisite pastry shops. These all required a lot of money in the early stages to open the shops.
She said embarrassedly, "I don't know why, but when I saw your clothing store, I suddenly wanted to open a shoe store."
Shoe store?
Su Ruojin also didn't expect that the young lady from the Xun family would eventually want to run a shoe store business.
Su Xiaomei said, "Sister Awan said that she can't do anything else except making hard-soled shoes. She said that there are many peddlers in the capital, and they have discarded shoes, so the shoe business should be good."
For making food, you can use your own skills to set up a small stall, but for shoes...
In this era, all shoes were handmade. There were soft-soled shoes for ladies, hard-soled shoes worn by peddlers, and even thatched rope shoes for sale at some temple fairs and markets.
"Miss Xun..." Su Ruojin didn't know what to say, but she still showed an encouraging smile on her face, "It's good to have ideas."
Su Ruojin couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked Xun Wan'er out and went to visit all the shoe stores in Beijing.
After shopping in the store, the young lady who wanted to open a shoe store was dumbfounded, "There are... so many varieties of shoes!" Then she only had thousand-layer soles!
Having such feelings means that the trip was not in vain.
The young lady was so scared that she was like a quail. Su Ruojin smiled and said, "Last winter was cold, and this winter will probably be similar. It's September now, and winter is coming soon. We can use cotton to make cotton shoes, slippers, and boots."
After last year's cold winter, cotton has grown in many places in Dayin Kingdom this year. The cotton has grown a lot. In addition to cotton cloth, cotton jackets, and cotton cloth, it can also be used to make cotton shoes!
"But I..." I only know how to make thousand-layer sole.
Xun Wan was embarrassed to say it.
Su Ruojin laughed, "Xun's sister is really smart. She knows what kind of business her family wants to start just by walking down the street."
Xun Wan blushed at the compliment, "Sister Jin, please stop making fun of me."
"How could that be." Su Ruojin said happily, "I have to thank Miss Xun for her keen insight."
Xun Wan waved her hands repeatedly. She was praised for her intelligence by Su Erniang, the wife of a young prince. Although she was talking about this and that, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
Xun Wan's shoe store was still opened. The Xun family had just arrived in Beijing and was short of money. It would be difficult to open a shop all of a sudden. Su Ruojin participated in the investment and helped the shop find an ordinary woman who could sew shoe soles.
With the support of Santai, Xunjia Shoes opened quickly.
