"Mom, this shopkeeper Li is quite honest and not very greedy. And thanks to him, otherwise the master would have been poached."
"If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. It's normal to get some within a controllable range. Moreover, he has made the most profit in recent years. Even in the past two years, the profit has remained very good, proving that he is working hard to maintain it."
"Well, this person is available. The craftsman's skills are also good. The salary can be increased a bit."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. The little guy will start to worry about his career."
“I feel happy working hard for my own life.”
“Yes, work hard for yourself.”
Later, the two of them went to Xiangrui Cloth Shop, which simply sold cloth, and the cloth was all high-end. Doudou decided to make a few hangers and then design several sets of ready-made clothes with different cloths to facilitate customers' choices.
I will hire a few more embroiderers later depending on the situation and take some special orders. There is a small courtyard with three rooms behind the store, which can accommodate seven or eight embroiderers.
This can increase added value and increase profits. He only needs to update the styles and launch new products frequently. He can even customize the patterns of the fabrics. The clothes made in this way are more unique, even one-of-a-kind, and more attractive to nobles.
"Mother, the shopkeeper Hu in this store is not very good. We need to choose someone else. He looks too shrewd and is a cunning man. He is greedy and gives you less and less money every year, but keeps more and more for himself. He also uses our money to buy goods privately for his own business.
You can see he's so guilty when he talks, as if he's afraid you'll check the accounts. The accounts in his shop are real, and the ones he shows you are fake, but you can't tell by just looking at the accounts."
"It's almost the end of the year. When he gives his account, I'll use him as an example to all the shopkeepers. We can't visit those shops in other places anytime, so they'll have some concerns."
"Okay."
They also looked around Xiangyun Bookstore, which was a standard shop. The books inside were mostly common, including enlightenment books, books for the imperial examinations, famous works by famous people, history and geography, strange stories, Buddhist scriptures, moral principles, books related to etiquette, morality and music, as well as popular vernacular novels.
There was another item whose sales exceeded Bai Zhiyue's expectations, and that was the erotic fire-avoiding pictures. This kind of thing was basically included in women's dowries, and it was definitely included in men's collections, so the sales had been growing steadily.
"Every man in the base has this kind of stuff in his online drive. If there are any girls who would like it, you can select a few pictures and make a high-definition version. It will definitely sell well."
Bai Zhiyue curled her lips,
"Son, do you still know that you are underage? What did you learn from those bastards?"
Doudou, I'm sorry.
"Hehe, there's nothing we can do. Those people have too many images like this in their heads, and we're forced to accept a lot of this stuff every time."
It's over. I thought my son was an innocent boy.
"Forget it, let's talk about this later. There's nothing to change in the bookstore. When you have time, you can think of some storybooks or novels to print and sell."
"That's good. If I don't have enough in my head, I can look for it on their computers. Novels and short films are their way of killing time. They'll be enough for us to sell for a long time."
We have visited all the shops and it is already noon.
"Hongying Qinglian, do you know which restaurant has good food? Let's go and have a seat."
"I heard that Linglong Pavilion and Junyoulai Restaurant are both good, but I don't know which one is better."
"Then let's go to Linglong Pavilion first, and then go to Junyoulai next time."
Linglong Pavilion has three floors, and the view from upstairs is particularly good, where you can see the street layout of half of the capital.
"Are there any private rooms on the third floor?"
"Madam, the third floor is booked. What do you think of the second floor?"
Many places like this are given to the noble people behind the scenes. It is difficult for ordinary people to book them, and she does not force them.
"Then let's go to the second floor. Please find a room facing the street."
"Okay, ma'am, please go upstairs. The waiter will lead the way."
"Bring me a pot of Baihao Yinzhen, and four of our specialty dishes!"
"Madam, please wait a moment. Tea will be here soon."
The waiter came out of the box and called out in a very poetic way:
"A pot of Jingyuexuan Baihao Yinzhen~~~"
Someone responded from the other end, and a short while later, a waiter came over with a tea tray.
"Madam, your tea"
It smells elegant and fresh, and looks slender and straight, with distinct roots, tender green color, rich white hair, and clear and light soup. It tastes fresh and refreshing, with a long-lasting aftertaste.
“It’s really good tea”
"This is the best tea our master has specially selected from dozens of varieties. There will never be any inferior tea in Linglong Pavilion."
Bai Zhiyue nodded. The tea was indeed good tea and the price was also good. This pot cost sixteen taels of silver.
I don’t know how the food is!
While waiting for the food, she felt like going to the bathroom.
"Qinglian, you two take care of the young master. I'll be back soon."
"Don't worry, Madam. There's no danger here. I heard that no one dares to cause trouble in Linglong Pavilion."
"That's good. I'll go first."
Bai Zhiyue had just finished when she vaguely heard a few shouts coming from the restaurant. The voices sounded very similar to Qinglian and Hongying's.
He tightened his belt and used parkour speed and skills to return to the box in the shortest time. Hongying fell to the side, probably knocked unconscious.
Qinglian was still holding Doudou's cloak, but the child was gone, his arm was cut, and he was pointing to the west outside the window.
"Madam, the young master has been snatched away."
"Go back home and find someone to help you, then report to the police!"
She jumped out of the window, gun in hand, and chased to the west.
"Doudou, how are you?"
Bai Zhiyue tried to contact her son, but there was no response after calling him several times.
Either he was too far away to receive it, or... she didn't dare to think about it.
"No, calm down, no, maybe Doudou is unconscious. She just needs to find that person quickly to save Doudou."
At first, she could judge the direction the man was going based on the reactions of passers-by on the road, but as she chased him, she had already moved away from the main street. There were alleys everywhere, and there were many residents in each alley.
It is impossible to tell which path the person took, and it is even more impossible to find which yard he entered. What should I do now?
She went through the people who had a grudge and might take action in her mind. The most likely ones were the Zhang family and the Rong family. The Bai family didn't have the courage. The Zhang family was in chaos now. Some were injured and some were punished. They probably didn't have time to do such a thing at the moment.
Rong Jinghe was treated like that by Su Chengang, and because of the Huang incident, they must hate the people in the Marquis' Mansion.
There had been no movement for over a month, and she attacked Doudou as soon as she left the house. Could it be that the other party still had his men in the house, or had someone been watching outside the house?
Didn’t you notice anyone following you on the way out of the house?
"We shouldn't have left such trouble behind."
If you can't find the thief who stole the person, then go find Rong Yang directly and force him out.
