Chapter 397 The worldly atmosphere
For five consecutive days, Jiang Xiangbei led his team to deliver the goods.
When delivering goods, he not only delivers the goods, but also inquires about the sales of each item, such as which one is the best-selling, why it is selling well, and what the feedback is;
What is the shop's favorite item to sell? The purchase price varies, but the selling price is not as simple as adding a certain amount of money to the price. After all, some products with a low purchase price are sold at a high price, while some products with a high purchase price are still difficult to sell even though they are sold at a low price.
It is equivalent to the amount of profit. Of course, the purpose of opening a business is to make money. Who doesn’t want to sell products with high profits?
Whether it is the needs of customers or the needs of the shop, they must be taken into consideration, and production can be adjusted only after returning to the village.
I make one trip in the morning and one in the afternoon every day. After coming back, I use the time at noon and in the evening to record the collected information one by one.
His mother said that no matter how good one's memory is, it is not as good as a good pen. He wrote it down and took it out to look at it from time to time to prevent himself from forgetting. If he couldn't come because of an emergency, other people in the family could take over smoothly after looking at the booklet and he wouldn't lose the business.
Shen Qing took Liu Cuihua, Lei Lao Da, and Guan Lijiang Yu to wander around the capital.
It's not easy to come out, especially to the capital, so I have to see the prosperity of the capital. I will have something to tell people about it when I return to the village and ask them about it.
Of course, Shen Qing was not just wandering around, he was also observing the passenger flow and customer groups on each street.
The former depends on whether there are many people, while the latter depends on whether these people are the target audience.
A street like the one connected to the vegetable market is definitely not suitable. It is dirty, messy, and crowded. The people who come and go are either ordinary people or servants, maids, and nannies. This street is suitable for small vendors who can provide large portions, full meals, and cheap food.
It is not acceptable to have a street for drinking and prostitution. People come here not for eating or drinking, but for that kind of thing. These groups are willing to spend money, but people who come to this street are not interested in eating, and they don’t want to spend a lot of time on eating.
After eliminating them one by one, the suitable streets emerged.
After deciding on the general direction of the street, it is time to start selecting specific shops.
The hot pot restaurant needs to be large, preferably with upstairs and downstairs, with the first floor being the lobby, which is bustling with people and attracts popularity;
The second floor is the private room, for the rich and powerful who need privacy. They don't care about money, but only care about whether the money is worth it.
There must also be a backyard with a row of side rooms, one for the kitchen, making cakes, staples, desserts, cold dishes, etc., and the other for the food preparation area, cutting beef and mutton, and arranging vegetables, etc.
The remaining rooms are for the store employees to live in - the shop must have someone to guard it, and the rent in the city is expensive. Living in the shop's own rooms, you can guard the shop and save rent at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.
The yard is used for washing and cleaning. The cattle and sheep are sent directly to the farm outside the city, where they are processed and then sent back. It is convenient to have a yard for washing.
It’s hard to choose a shop. Either it’s already rented, or it’s too expensive, or it’s too small and shabby... I looked for several days but couldn’t find a suitable one.
"Don't worry, Mom. Maybe we'll meet someday when the destiny comes." Guan Li looked at her mother's slightly frowned brow and persuaded her.
"Well, the shop is of utmost importance. There's no point in rushing. We can only take it slow." Shen Qing replied.
If you hastily choose an inappropriate one, there will be a lot of problems later.
Living in the capital is not easy. How can they figure it out in just three or five days?
I was originally thinking of buying one, but now it seems that it may not be easy to rent a suitable one. I can only watch and wait. If I can buy a good one, I will buy it. If I can’t buy it, I will rent it. If I find a suitable one in the future, I will buy it and open a branch.
Jiang Xiangxi knew nothing about the shop. He listened to the conversation between his mother and daughter-in-law, raised a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and drove home silently.
After more than twenty men worked overtime for several days, all the houses in Zhuangzi looked brand new!
All the mottled walls were scraped away, the yellow and black lime turned snow-white and clean again, and the whole house became bright.
The window frames were cleaned and pasted with thin and breathable gauze - not white paper, but a kind of gauze!
Compared to white paper, it is breathable! There is a breeze blowing through the room, and it is not stuffy at all. Especially at night, the cool breeze is very comfortable.
Secondly, it is brighter than white paper, and the room is obviously much brighter during the day. Coupled with the snow-white new lime plastered walls, the whole room instantly becomes brighter than when I first arrived.
The only drawback is that it is expensive, otherwise I really want to replace it at home.
Apart from being expensive, there is nothing wrong with it. They also get to see the world with their aunt.
The whole house has been painted, next is the exterior wall, and finally the courtyard wall, etc.
However, the courtyard wall cannot be painted for the time being because it is raining.
The dripping rain slid down the eaves, and the strings of water droplets were crystal clear. Sitting in the bright room and looking out, it was quite beautiful.
That means no one can work.
"I should have painted the outside of the house and the courtyard wall a few days ago while the weather was good. Now that it's raining, it won't delay painting the walls inside the house." Jiang Daxi blamed himself.
Shen Qing laughed: "Doesn't that mean there's no rest? Besides, the house is for people to live in. It should be clean, bright and comfortable inside, and the outside is for people to see. What does it matter whether it looks good or not?
Anyway, we are mainly in the house. Even if we can look at the sky, the earth and the rain outside, why do we have to look at the dilapidated wall?
So, it’s better to paint the inside of the house first, it will really bring you convenience.”
It took more than ten days to get from the village. When they arrived, these men were either delivering goods, digging the ground to plant vegetables, or painting the walls, patching the floor tiles and replacing the tiles. They were spinning around like spinning tops without a chance to rest.
I've been busy for half a month and it's time to take a break.
Jiang Daxi thought so too, and the other men followed suit and said, "Auntie is right."
But they only get a hundred coins a day, so it would be embarrassing to take a break.
I eat three meals a day, lunch and dinner, both of which are meat, and the cooking oil is all lard! I feel bad if I don't work, and I always feel like I'm eating and drinking for free.
Shen Qing thought it was quite interesting to watch the falling rain, but seeing the group of men looking uncomfortable, he suggested, "Why don't you go help in the kitchen?
Let's see what to eat. We have some free time now, so we can make something complicated or something we want to eat."
The men's eyes suddenly lit up.
Apart from the kitchen, there is really nothing to do. The vegetable garden has been reclaimed. This is not wasteland. The difficulty of reclaiming wasteland is completely different. It has just been left uncultivated for a year or two.
Clear the weeds, plow the land, break up the clods, sow the seeds and water.
The tiled floor, windows, kitchen, bathroom, livestock room and toilet have all been cleaned up. If you don’t go out on rainy days, it’s a good time to go to the kitchen!
Zhao Hu yelled, "I want to eat big steamed buns with braised pork in soy sauce! I ate them once at my aunt's house before and have been craving them for so long, but my mother always adds a lot of vegetables to them, and the meat tastes gone."
They've been eating so much meat these days. The meat in every dish is so substantial. Maybe they'll even be able to eat big steamed buns with braised pork in soy sauce...
