Jianjia Lou makes so much money that it makes people's eyes look red and green, and they really want to bite off a piece of meat.
The three of them have been running this restaurant for the past two years and have made a lot of money. Murong Xian doesn't want others to get a piece of the pie. She has already found out the news before the teahouse has opened, and then discusses with Princess Rujin how to deal with it. Policy.
The two decided to create a fresh food every month to make the guests feel fresh. Then, the maids in the store should also teach them well to make the guests feel more comfortable in Jianjia Tower than other places.
Finally, prepare some books and notebooks for the ladies and girls to pass the time.
Su Wan thinks these ideas are good, especially the one about preparing books and storybooks.
She said: "The storybooks in my study have always sold well. You can just pick some and bring them over. In addition, we can also produce a few storybooks and put them in Jianjia Lou, not for sale to the outside world."
"It will be kept in Jianjia Tower for three months first. During these three months, it will not be available in the study. If the girls want to see it, they can only go to Jianjia Tower to see it. Now that they have gone, it is impossible not to eat and drink something."
"Three months later, the study will start selling, and a new batch of scripts will be replaced in Jianjialou."
Murong Xian's eyes lit up: "Okay."
When she was a girl, she also liked reading story books very much. Even now that she is married and has become a mother, she also likes reading them very much.
Going to a teahouse to sit in a teahouse for a morning or afternoon in order to catch the book you want to read is definitely something that many girls can do.
"There is also the issue of keeping warm. It is hot in the summer, and ice can be used in the building to cool off. But in the cold winter, if you sit for a long time, a fire pit cannot solve the problem, especially upstairs."
Floor coverings can be laid downstairs, but upstairs it is not easy. It is really cold in winter. Even if guests go out in the cold, they will not stay in the building for a long time.
If this problem can be solved, the winter guests of Jianjia Tower will not have to worry.
Murong Xian was also a little worried: "It would be great if this matter could be solved."
Su Wan said: "If not, what do you think about opening another place in winter?"
Murong Xian was a little confused: "Open another one?"
Su Wan hummed and said, "I remember that our dowry should include a house in the Imperial City. If we choose a house like this and renovate it, it will become a gathering place for girls in winter."
"In spring, summer and autumn, when there are fewer guests and there is no need for it, it can be used to hold poetry parties for those girls. Whoever wants to use it then has to book a place and pay the money. This can be considered a Progress."
"You said, help organize poetry gatherings and things like that?"
"Exactly, I think it's feasible. The houses are ready-made and can be tidied up and decorated by others. These houses are good. If you keep them in your hands, you won't be willing to rent them to others. I'm afraid they will make the place dirty and empty. If it's empty, it's just right for use."
"Besides, there is no need to worry about those who eat. In winter, a few masters will go there. If there are parties at other times, they will make arrangements. It may be a little harder, but if we add another monetary subsidy to them, they will naturally I am willing.”
"The same goes for the maid."
"You can give it a try this year. If you feel you're losing money, you can just stop doing it next year."
Murong Xian thought for a moment and thought it was feasible: "What you said is feasible. It is indeed a good place to go in winter."
Su Wan also got the idea from the Plum Garden, such as the Plum Garden Poetry Club, which can indeed attract many guests.
"Then try it first."
After the two discussed it, Su Wan let her rest, and then returned to the main courtyard. Aunt Zheng and Xiaowei took the people to count the things brought by Jinning Palace and Zhenguo Palace, checked the gift lists and put them in the warehouse. .
The two families prepared a lot of things, mostly supplements and medicinal materials, as well as some food and cloth.
After the things were sorted and put into the warehouse, Xiao Fei gave the gift list to Su Wan, and then explained to her the origin of these things: "Part of the things here at Jinning Duke's Mansion were prepared by the old lady, and some were from the third room." The remaining ones were prepared by the eldest young master and the young madam."
"The Duke of Zhenguo's office doesn't distinguish who gave it, and there is only one gift list."
Su Wan nodded, indicating that she understood that the Wang family's share represented the Jinning Palace, and she might have added some privately. The third bedroom's share was given by her father as an extra for her daughter.
As for Su Jian and Murong Xian, she has a better relationship with Murong Xian. Murong Xian is also the eldest sister-in-law. She has made a lot of money from Jianjia Lou in the past two years, and her family is rich. It is normal for her to give her a private share.
The Zhenguo Government does not need to divide these.
"You go to the warehouse in the past two days to select some things suitable for return gifts. Prepare them first so as not to be in a hurry later."
"yes."
Li's group stayed in Shiqiao Village for a few days. During their free time, Hong's Murong Xian and Su Wan had private conversations. Li felt a little embarrassed. Seeing that Hong was there, she breathed a sigh of relief and simply shut up.
Su Wan also breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay for her to get along with Mr. Li in a harmonious manner and to be polite and respectful to her. But it would be awkward for her to be intimate with Ms. Li.
Su Luo and Zhang Fu'er had been out playing all day long. It was spring now, and wild flowers and fruits were blooming everywhere in the village. She was enjoying herself day by day.
That is, I only think of her as my sister when I have some free time.
Su Wan once thought she was here for fun.
After a few days like this, the three of them felt relieved when they saw that Su Wan was indeed having a good pregnancy and that the baby hadn't bothered her too much, which was a rare worry.
The three of them discussed it and said goodbye. After all, there were many things in the Imperial City that they needed to deal with.
Since they said they had something to do when they went back, Su Wan naturally couldn't keep anyone around, so he asked the people in the kitchen to prepare a banquet for them to bid farewell to them. When the day was about to leave, he gave the return gifts and sent them to the carriage.
Su Luo was still very reluctant to leave and almost cried when she left, but she was no longer the little girl she was back then, and she didn't really want to cry, she just hung her head and looked miserable.
She was happy when Mrs. Li asked her to come again in autumn.
After seeing off the guests, Jingpingyuan also calmed down.
Su Wan rested these days and felt much better, so he began to deal with the events of last year.
Now the account books of each shop have been sent to Suichuan, and he has already checked them. She needs to check them again and count the accounts.
After the inventory is completed, 30% of the money must be allocated to Mrs. Miaohua, so that she can use it to run the girls' school.
By the way, I also invited Mrs. Miaohua to come over to see and understand the situation, so that she would not spend so much money and not know how things were done.
