Chapter 226 Luggage Business
This kind of thing couldn't be explained to the guests, so Song Liyun had no choice but to say, "This is the rule of Tianxianglou. If the girl is in a hurry, she can pack it up and take it away."
"Sister Xiao Cui, the young master will call someone soon, so let's take it away and eat it!" At this time, the companion of the girl in green skirt came over.
It was a servant in a green shirt, looking outside anxiously. It was obvious that the two men had sneaked out without their master's knowledge.
"Okay! Then you guys, pack it up and we'll take it away to eat!" Smelling the aroma of barbecue skewers in the building, the maid in green skirt urged impatiently.
Song Liyun smiled and said, "Miss, go to the shopkeeper and order the food. You can take it away after it's grilled. You can also take a jar of fruit wine."
The clear fruit wine from Tianxianglou has only a light taste of alcohol and a fruity aroma, which is just right for women to drink.
"Oh! You're so stupid for not telling me this good news earlier." The girl in the green dress grumbled dissatisfiedly.
Looking at the woman who scurried towards the counter, Manager Wan sighed, "That's a good idea. It doesn't take up any tables."
Tianxianglou’s skewers have now been replaced with willow sticks, which are placed in paper boxes and can be taken away.
Song Liyun led the steward Wan upstairs and said, "If you want to take the skewers away, you need to remember the name and address. Not everyone will agree to this."
"Why do you have to record your name?" Manager Wan was surprised. It was too much to record your name when buying something.
"Become a member! You can get discounts on food from now on." Song Liyun smiled with her eyes curved.
When it was decided to allow takeout, Lin Tao and Zhou Xiang were both against it. After the poisoning incident at the opening, they were worried that something might go wrong when the kebabs were taken out.
Although no one else came to disrupt the situation during this time except for some minor issues like the wine was too bland and they needed stronger liquor, or the chili was too spicy and they needed ice water, but it is better to have less trouble than more and we dare not take it lightly.
If I can’t do takeout, I can’t promote my own paper box products, which means I lose a way to make money.
Song Liyun thought of real-name authentication and applying for a membership card.
Of course, customers cannot buy skewers with their household registration books. They just need to report their name and address on the registration form and then the two of them will guarantee each other.
If someone doesn't want to leave their name, they can't take the items away. If someone wants to tamper with the items, they will feel even more guilty!
The vast majority of people were still tempted by the 10% discount and readily agreed.
Lin Tao and Zhou Xiang were full of admiration: "Miss Song, this is even stricter than our roll call in the camp."
Song Liyun also asked them to note down the birthdays of members if possible, and give them a gift when the time comes.
Sometimes people don't do things for a few cents, but just for that little bit of uniqueness.
When he heard about the membership card operation, the smile on Wan's face faded and he fell into deep thought: Should the Wan family's newly opened handbag shop also do the same?
Humph, I'll ask Miss Song to give me some advice later... Forget it, it's better to bring her in. I have to pay more attention to my own shop.
Sitting in the private room specially reserved for them, Song Liyun personally poured tea for the steward Wan and said, "It's hot, so I won't serve you barbecue. We have other fresh foods in the store, so let's give them to you to try."
Wan Da Guanshi didn't come here just to eat. He laughed and said, "Okay, the food at Tianxianglou is good. I've heard it all over the city. I'm busy now, so I'll just eat something casually."
Song Liyun walked to the front desk and asked the kitchen to send crystal eggplant, roasted potato chips, and a few specialties made by Mrs. Zhou.
When I returned to the private room, I saw the steward Wan writing at his desk. When he saw Song Liyun come in, he didn't even look up, but continued writing. He said, "Miss Song, our Wan family has opened a handbag shop in the capital. I'll give you 10% of the shares."
Song Liyun didn't understand for a moment: "What do you mean by 10% share? Uncle Wan opened a shop again?"
"Come and take a look. If you have any requirements, please add them." What the manager Wan wrote was a contract that had been signed long ago, but he added another line of words on it.
Song Liyun took it and looked at it. It was the share of the profit from the last handbag design for her, with the seal of the person in charge. Now there was a new row of content added, which was that Song Liyun would also get a share of the profit from the newly opened luggage shop, totaling 40%.
"Uncle Wan, why does the luggage shop also give 10%?"
I have been doing business with Manager Wan for so long, and all I have done is smuggling business.
Cardboard boxes were purchased with cash, no banknotes were needed, and neither party had ever signed a contract. This was the first time a formal procedure had been carried out.
Manager Wan said sincerely, "Girl Yun! Uncle Wan really thinks you are a talent.
Come, if you are not dissatisfied, just sign the contract."
Song Liyun certainly had no objection to the contract. It only stated that she would provide the luggage drawings and assist in the luggage shop's promotion and sales, and would receive a 40% dividend every month. For Song Liyun, this was free money, so of course she was happy to agree.
He took out his seal from the small pouch at his waist, dipped it in tea, waited for the red mud on it to dissolve, and then wrote his name on the deed.
Seeing Song Liyun being so straightforward, Manager Wan sighed again: "Alas! Miss Song, why aren't you a man?"
Song Liyun put away her small seal and chuckled, "Uncle Wan, whether I'm a man or a woman, it won't affect your business and making money, right?"
"It seems... you have a point!" Manager Wan laughed.
As she was speaking, Mrs. Zhou personally brought the dishes over: "Miss, today's soft-braised sour soup fish and steamed pork ribs are quite good, so I changed the dishes for you."
Song Liyun nodded: "Thank you sister-in-law for your thoughtfulness!"
Manager Wan is also fifty years old. He is still used to local thick soups and stews, and he just wants to try the skewers for fun.
The two began to eat, and Manager Wan directly talked about the opening of the handbag shop.
"The shop hasn't been set up yet. It will take at least two or three months to set it up. Also, the handbags need fine sheepskin. Miss Song, could you please buy some more goods?"
Manager Wan now knows that the Suijin Guard is involved in fur smuggling.
But the guard did not show up. In order to avoid suspicion, he still did not go beyond Song Liyun.
"Well, I'll go back early today. By the way, I have something to discuss with Captain Luo."
Tianxianglou now pulls three to five sheep from the garrison every day, and will also sell beef in winter. The source of these goods is clear.
In the past, leather horn cups could be considered trophies, but pieces of fresh meat were not.
Thinking about what Abu and the others said about being able to contact the grassland tribes, some answers became clear.
This time, Song Liyun was going to find Captain Luo again. She was going to ask for some cumin powder and milk, and to find out where Ah Shi and the others were...
As for how Captain Luo would react, she didn't care.
Before leaving, Wan Daguanshi remembered that he had brought a gift for Song Liyun: "Last month was your birthday. I was in the capital and couldn't make it to celebrate your birthday, so I'm giving you the gift now as a supplement. Please don't refuse it, young lady."
Song Liyun was surprised and asked, "How did Uncle Wan know this? I'm not worth Uncle Wan's trip."
Manager Wan just smiled and didn't explain. He wanted Song Liyun to marry into the Wan family, so naturally he had to ask about her age. He found out from Song Zhenping when he bought the cardboard boxes.
I brought gifts with me when I came to Qili County this time.
In the afternoon, Song Liyun returned to Suijin Town early because she had to go to the garrison.
On the street towards the city gate, Ju Qingma trotted past.
The woman on horseback wore a wide sunshade hat and had a graceful figure, like a beautiful scenery in Qili County.
Next to the street where Song Liyun ran, two people were standing in the window on the second floor of Zuichunlou.
Huang Changsheng said respectfully, "Mr. Lin, this is the current female steward of Tianxiang Tower. Her surname is Song, and she is a military householder in Suijin Town."
