Chapter 87 Shaoguang's Business

This "pop-up shop" in the East City was really effective. In the next few days, people continued to find Chongxianfang and Qinrenfang Shenji restaurants to eat hot pot.

I ate it in Dongshi for the first two days, and when I turned around, I still wanted to eat it: "Why is your mutton so fresh? The kitchen at home can't make this taste."

"Our soup is good... I advise you not to worry about that, but come to our store, order whatever pot base you want, and whatever you want to order shabu-shabu. There are Xinfeng wine, sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus, agate meat, and jade balls, and besides—there is also Zhang Erlang who eats bouncy balls for you to watch." The wine shop steward is a good talker.

Hearing the last sentence, the guest laughed.

"Give you another plate of fresh shrimp?" The steward looked at the table of the guests and asked with a smile.

There are also famous ones, "I heard that there is a 'Hot Pot Festival' in the East Market in the beginning of winter, and the small cauldrons sell well. Is this your place?"

"That's us, please come in, Mr. Lang. Would you like to buy our milk soup pot, Mr. Lang? It was set up in Dongshi that day." The most popular is the milk soup.

"Just come to it! I heard that this soup alone is very fresh."

"Langjun said it well! Just this soup, not to mention our fresh mutton and tender fish balls, just grab some white noodle houto, and it's delicious. You can smell the aroma in our store."

There are also sad reminders. At that time, met them in Dongshi, but didn't have time to eat, and didn't even wait for a seat.

"I'm eating today!" A look that finally got what he wanted.

For this kind of guests, the steward specially presented a plate of flower cakes that "can make Tanhua Langdu dismount" to make up for the guests' regrets.

Shen Shaoguang and Shao Jie toured the store and were quite satisfied with the situation.

"It's a pity that there is only one Beginning of Winter a year..." Shao Jie was not greedy enough.

Shen Shaoguang comforted him, "It's okay, when spring starts and fresh vegetables are on the market, we'll sell spring cakes; when summer starts, we'll sell all kinds of cold products; when autumn starts, we can have a meat festival and crab festival. As long as Lang Jun can find a place to set up a stall in Dongxi Market, he can still make up a name by going there four or five times a year."

However, Shao Jie valued this "first time": "Although we will go to the Dongxi Market to set up stalls in the future, even more grand than this time, this is the first time after all, and the meaning is different. You can draw, little lady, When you draw the story of the East City Hot Pot Festival that day."

Shen Shaoguang saw through his mind: "Isn't it better to paint a few more pictures and hang them in several stores?"

"That's great!" Shao Jie clasped his palms, "It's best to draw a long scroll, and talk about the topic, it's best to draw it with the word 'Prosperous World Peace'."

Shen Shaoguang looked at his major shareholder with a half-smile but not a smile.

Shao Jie paused for a moment and smiled, "It takes a lot of work? Actually, it's okay to paint two... one is fine, but it's not worth much. This painting must be framed by the best frame shop in the East City, and it's framed. , it's hanging around in each store."

Shen Shaoguang figured it out, Shao Langjun will definitely put on a public welfare coat for commercial activities, let people take pictures, shoot videos, write soft articles, post official accounts, post Weibo, put on paper media, and put on TV, oh, yes, have to buy a hot search, this profiteer...

Shen Shaoguang is quite authentic, "Okay, I'll think about it." After speaking, he smiled first.

Shao Jie also laughed.

Then the two conduct "daily general meeting of shareholders" - business nonsense and looking into the future.

"The third and fourth store is about to open. I estimate that by the summer of next year, we will be able to open six or seven stores?" Shao Jie said.

Shen Shaoguang felt that he was too optimistic, but it did not dampen his confidence.

"One hundred and eight squares in Chang'an City, if you remove those in the south of the corners and corners of the poor, remove the nobles that occupy half of the squares, remove too many large gardens and large temples, how can you still have half of them? These five There are more than ten, and we open a store every four or five squares...Little lady, will we be able to cover almost the entire city of Chang'an by the end of next year?"

Shen Shaoguang: "...Then we will open the restaurant to Dongdu, Beidu, Bianzhou, Puzhou and even Jiangnan?" The two of them said the last few words together, and then they laughed together.

I know it's not easy to achieve, but it's also good to have a good time.

Yu San came to the backyard to pick up the meat, and saw the two fools laughing under the wall, and it was quite difficult to explain.

Shen Shaoguang and Shao Jie were quite comfortable in the sun, and they held their "high-level meeting" with their hands in their sleeves.

"Let's go back and assign people to patrol the store, settle accounts, train newcomers, and purchase goods, otherwise we won't be able to do it even with three heads and six arms."

Shen Shaoguang nodded: "Very well. Just like the imperial court, there are three provinces, Zhongshu, Menxia, ​​and Shangshu, and there are six divisions, nine temples and five prisons. Each division has different divisions of labor. Only by working together can the whole be moved."

The Shao family is a big business, and it has its own time-tested management methods. Although it is family-style, it can also be used for reference; Shen Shaoguang is from later generations, and he is half of the catering industry. He is not unfamiliar with the operation of catering companies. People have already opened two branches, which are doing well at present. The two discussed the establishment of the future "Shen's Catering Chain Company".

Entering the hall, Shen Shaoguang simply drew the structure.

Looking at the neat structure drawn, and thinking about the few people there are now, Shen Shaoguang swallowed: "Shao Langjun, I think that by the time we fill this shelf, Linglang will probably be able to buy oil with soy sauce. right?"

Thinking about his bride who doesn't know where he is, and looking at this picture again, Shao Jie is a little embarrassed, "Not necessarily..."

Shen Shaoguang laughed. The road needs to be taken step by step, and the meal needs to be eaten one bite at a time. This huge architecture diagram can be placed first, and the operations, finance, procurement and other personnel can be configured first.

However, Shao Jie looked at Shen Shaoguang's small hall, and then looked at the yard with a wing outside - adding more staff, and placing rice, grain and vegetables, there was not enough space, "I didn't say, you should buy a house. You, the owner of a dozen or so pubs, live in such a humble place, and you don't fit your status..." In the future, when you marry Lin Shaoyin, it is inappropriate to leave such a house.

Shen Shaoguang: "...How come there are only ten?"

"If it goes well next year, won't there be a dozen or so?" Shao Jie is righteous.

Shen Shaoguang: "..."

"Are you saying that these ten or so homes are not all of your Lady Shen? But I have a big mansion..."

Shen Shaoguang made his divine logic go a bit off track, and he actually felt that... it seemed right.

Shen Shaoguang said to him vulgarly: "Hey, Shao Langjun, I actually like a house—"

Shao Jie came to be interested, "Tell me, talk! I look at the store all day, and I know people in the real estate, so I can help you to see each other. It's not as good as buying a house, don't buy a haunted house."

Shen Shaoguang: "...it's a haunted house."

Shao Jie: "!!!"

Shen Shaoguang said happily: "It's the one on the street in our square, the yard in the third entrance, the first owner was a businessman from the south. This house has not been built for a long time, only about ten years, and it looks quite neat from the outside. , a little watery in the south of the Yangtze River, I heard that there are also chiseled ponds to grow flowers, and the halls and halls are complete, making it look decent, that businessman—"

Shen Shaoguang coughed, but didn't say Ma Feng, "This is a little bit lustful, died in Pingkangfang, and passed it on to the next owner, when he went to Youzhou to do business, he met a strong man, and he was not in this house. Yes, this house is actually not a haunted house."

"Isn't that bad?"

Shen Shaoguang whispered: "This is considered fierce? How many people have died in Daming Palace, Taiji Palace, and Xingqing Palace? Is it fierce?"

Shao Jie: "..."

Shen Shaoguang brought out Bai Juyi's reasoning: "Zhou and Qin are all in Yaohan, one for eight hundred years, one for two generations, let's look at us and the former Sui... So, 'people are murderous, not house murderers'!"①

Shao Jie thinks about it, it seems to be right, is there any place more fierce than the palace? Doesn't the saint still live? He wasn't the kind of person who followed the rules, otherwise he would never have made such a deal with Shen Shaoguang. He immediately let go of his worries about being "fierce" and asked, "Why don't you buy it? What's the makeshift here?"

Shen Shaoguang became indifferent again: "Actually, there are a few thatched cottages here, a small courtyard, peach and plum trees in front of the hall, onions and leeks fragrant by the wall, and the chicken lady and the chicken cubs cooing... It's not bad."

Shao Jie: "Hey—"

In fact, if it weren't for the rapid expansion of the branch, Shen Shaoguang would have saved almost the same amount, but now personal consumption can only give way to business investment.

Shen Shaoguang felt that when the branches were stabilized next year, there was no need to buy chickens, but just wait for the chickens to lay eggs, and he should be able to save enough for this plate of "sweet vegetables" soon.

In order to realize the dream of a big house as soon as possible, Shen Shaoguang stepped up the training of new shop assistants, and only waited for the new shop to be renovated and fully equipped before opening. At the same time, Shen Shaoguang also selected Xu Shilang, Zhang Erlang and A Dou to form a special performance team to tour each store.

Certainly not those two shows. Shen Shaoguang pondered that Zhang Erlang, a greedy and delicious person, was unshakable, and based on this persona, he made a "series of dramas". It's a pity that she can't find a dedicated screenwriter, so she can only do it herself, think about the jokes in the store, and dig hard to dig out the corners in her memory - such as the "Smile Forest Guang Ji" with a bunch of yellow jokes.

Shen Shaoguang has a lot of yellow waste in his mind, but he only keeps it in his stomach, he will never take it out and say, it is also in his private room - such as flirting with Lin Shaoyin?

Shen Shaoguang imagined that he was teasing Lin Shaoyin to the point that his face was red and his ears were red.

It is a pity that the winter is coming, and the Chinese New Year is not far away. The foreign embassies who came to Chang’an Chaozheng have arrived one after another, and the tributes from various prefectures have also arrived. There are many festivals in winter, and the day of the winter solstice festival is approaching. Jingzhao not only undertakes household registration duties, settles prison lawsuits, persuades farmers, cultural and educational tributes, etc. like ordinary prefectures, but also assists the various ministries and departments of the imperial court to deal with special matters of Jingzhao. In such a season, Lin Shaoyin is really busy. Get busy. Shen Shaoguang was busy himself, and the time when the two of them could talk to each other in peace was less, so Shen Shaoguang's flirting move could only stay in his imagination.

In the open space in front of the hall, Zhang Erlang took the "fried quail" and nibbled it deliciously.

A Dou said faintly: "You have eaten three of the four quails, and you should eat the rest, lest they break the right one, you are pitiful." ②

Shen Shaoguang grinned, feeling that Adu's expression was similar to that of the third princess.

The author has something to say:

①Bai Juyi's "Haunted House": Zhou and Qin's house dishes, and their houses are different. One for eight hundred years, one for Wangyi Palace. A message to the family and the country, people are not murderous.

②Adapted from a passage about eating oriole from "Smiling Forest Guang Ji": two people share a meal together, there are four oriole in the bowl, one person gluttonously eats three of them. In the womb, save them from dismantling the right one."
