"Brother Sen, Sister Lan, are you up?"
Bai Yulan bit her teeth lightly, almost breaking her lower lip. She could hit this critical point every time.
"Um……"
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement inside. Axiang frowned, then sighed again, turned around and tiptoed away.
There was a layer of fine beads of sweat on Bai Yulan's pink face, her skin was as red as fire, her mouth was open, and she was breathing heavily.
It had suffocated her to death just now. It was too hard for her to bear it. If Axiang stayed for one more minute, she might not be able to control it.
"This girl Axiang is getting more and more unruly. I have to teach her some rules in the future!" Zhou Sen chuckled.
"It's all your fault!" Bai Yulan rolled her eyes at Zhou Sen.
"Hey, I'll ask Ah Xiang to boil some hot water later, and you can take a good soak." Zhou Sen sat up and said.
"The First Cause of All Realms"
"you dislike me?"
"I don't mind it, I'm just afraid that if you smell like me, experienced people will know what you're doing as soon as you smell it." Zhou Sen gave a bad laugh.
"I'm telling you, if you behave like a monster in the morning, don't even think about entering my room." Bai Yulan said with an embarrassed voice after hearing this.
"Hahaha..." Zhou Sen laughed, got dressed, opened the door and walked out.
The physical exertion is quite high, so I need to replenish my energy first.
…
Chang Bo was doing Tai Chi in the yard. His movements were unhurried and very elegant. Zhou Sen said hello and headed towards the kitchen.
"Uncle, take it easy." Chang Bo looked at Zhou Sen's back and said, "Don't rely on your youth."
Zhou Sen walked back and smiled at him: "Are you old and unable to do what you do?"
"I'm not strong enough, do you want to try?" Chang Bo stopped what he was doing and suddenly blew his beard and stared.
"You should have told me earlier. Yu Lan has always told me that I want to find you someone who knows both the cold and the hot. I see that you are living a good life alone. I'm afraid you won't like it, so I told her not to worry about it. Don't worry about it." Good intentions lead to bad things." Zhou Sen chuckled and started fighting with Chang Bo. If you win, you won't win with force. If you lose, it will be embarrassing. Only a fool can do this!
Chang Bo almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. This boy definitely holds a grudge!
"The lady in charge of the teahouse, Sister Xia, is pretty good, but she's not too young. If she works hard, she might still be able to give birth..." Zhou Sen said to himself.
When Uncle Chang heard this, he almost bit the tip of his tongue. His face turned red. How did this boy know? Why did the lady tell him everything?
…
"Brother Sen?"
"I'm here to see what's for breakfast. Are you busy with your work?" Zhou Sen casually walked over and opened the drawer.
"The mutton buns are so delicious. I haven't had them in a long time. Ah Xiang, you are so considerate." Zhou Sen reached out, took one out, and took a bite.
"Brother Sen, sister Lan haven't eaten yet?"
"She's still asleep. You can boil some hot water for her later. The weather is a bit dry and her skin is dry. Let's take a dip to replenish her moisture." Zhou Sen made nonsense.
Axiang wanted to laugh but didn't dare. She could make up excuses like this at will, and it was only Zhou Sen, no one else.
"Okay, Brother Sen, I'll boil the water right now." Axiang nodded. Ningxiang Pavilion operates a teahouse, so naturally there is no shortage of boilers for boiling hot water.
However, Ningxiang Pavilion is a high-end teahouse, so it cannot be compared with those ordinary teahouses. The water boiled in the boiler is basically used for washing, and the tea that guests drink is burned separately and specially brought down from the mountain. of mountain spring water.
After eating two large mutton buns in one go, Zhou Sen decided to go to his own property to have a look, which was considered a field trip.
The Ningxiangguan branch of "Sen" Kee Tea Shop is actually the first store, but the "Sen" Kee head office is in Haicheng Street.
So this place can only be a branch. The main store is over there, a tea shop. Ah Xiang is the chief chef. He usually studies how to make delicious pastries and drinks. He develops some new products almost every month, some of which are hot sellers. Of course There are also some that no one cares about after they are launched.
Anyway, with the introduction of new products, "Sen" Ji Tea and Food Shop seems to be an upstart in the pastry industry in Bingcheng, and the position of old Dingfeng is in danger.
Early in the morning, I saw a long queue waiting in front of the "Sen" Kee tea shop. This was the buying and selling window.
Naturally, there is also a "dine-in" door.
Business is very good, and even though the price has been raised several times due to the increase in raw material prices, there are still a lot of people queuing up every morning.
Everyone seems to be used to eating a piece of pastry produced by "Sen" Kee every day, especially many Russian women can be seen in the team.
Business is good, so naturally some people are jealous, but there are people behind "Sen". Anyone who dares to come here to cause trouble will not end well.
After the Qin family split, the second son of the Qin family completely distanced himself from the Qin family and became Bai Yulan's lackey.
There are also rumors that Qin Lang is Bai Yulan's face, and that Zhou Sen, who has disappeared for a long time, is probably just a cover to introduce him.
But those with knowledge know that Qin Lang is not Bai Yulan's lackey, but was subdued by Zhou Sen.
If he recognizes himself as the boss, Qin Lang only recognizes Zhou Sen, and Bai Yulan can only be regarded as the sister-in-law.
There are people in both the black and white circles, the business of "Sen" Ji, and the blind-eyed dare to think about it. That is the birthday man who has eaten arsenic and is tired of living.
If "Sen" remembers that business is good, the products must be of high quality and delicious. Otherwise, you won't be able to force customers to buy your products.
"Sen" Ji now has one main store and four branches. The only one outside Daowai is Fujiadian, and it is also the largest one. It has the largest scale and turnover. The main store is on Haicheng Street in Nangang, and its business is the second largest. At the Ningxiang Hall branch.
Then another branch was opened in Nangang, one in Majiagou and one in Butou District.
There are plans to open two more branches in the future, one in Xiangfang District and one in Butou District (Butou District has a relatively large flow of people).
The scale and focus of each store are different. After all, the target customers and groups are also different.
Take the Ningxiang Pavilion branch, for example, which is in the old city with a large flow of people and a large number of Chinese people living there. The taste is naturally heavier, and the consumption power here is not small, even for some more expensive pastries. There are people who eat it, and it sells a lot, but the focus tends to be heavier and more expensive.
As for Butou District, the people living there are ordinary workers and urbanites, as well as some White Russians, and their tastes are different.
In short, although they are all the same "pastry", the taste of each branch in each area is slightly different.
This is differentiated management, ensuring that every store can have good business. Of course, this is in Bingcheng, a city of immigrants. In other cities, there is no need to do this.
So it is obviously the same pastry, but it tastes different in different branches.
As for the Ningxiang Pavilion teahouse, Bai Yulan has been very cautious in its expansion. In the past six months, in addition to the main restaurant of Ningxiang Pavilion, Bai Yulan has expanded.
A building was built on Jiaohua Street near the West Market in Nangang District. It used to be a teahouse, but the owner couldn't continue running it and wanted to sell it. Because the location was good, the price was naturally not cheap.
For this building, Bai Yulan invested all her profits from "Sen" for several months. Fortunately, she finally got it.
Although Jiaohua Street is not the most prosperous area in Nangang, it is a place where the market and cultural atmosphere blend. It is a very good choice to open a tea house here.
Bai Yulan is also ingenious in management, re-presenting some small games of ancient Chinese literati in a new way, attracting the support of many middle- and high-end people. There has never been a shortage of elegant people in this business.
Although this branch library is not as lively as the main library, it has become the best choice for many officials and wealthy businessmen to discuss matters because it is quiet and private.
Moreover, high-ranking Japanese and puppet officials were regular visitors, and business was not bad at all.
Food, clothing, housing, and transportation are the four things that ordinary people live by. If an ordinary person can do a good business, it will be enough for them to have food and drink for a lifetime.
If he could do two things, he would be a wealthy gentleman at least.
Bai Yulan is also ambitious in business. Besides, money kept in the bank will continue to depreciate, so it is better to invest it.
She is not good at or understands the industrial field, but she still has a say in the industries she has worked in.
For example, it turned out that Lao Ma's family was in the cloth business and had a garment factory. After the separation, these were all taken over by the Ma family.
Although she returned all the properties and shops, she was by no means a generous person. The Ma family could not manage these properties at all.
After losing all her money within half a year, she used other people's money to get back the garment factory and some shops.
Then they integrated it and established "Sen" Ji Clothing Company.
Zhou Sen looked through these documents and felt his scalp numb. His wife was really amazing.
Give her a fulcrum and she can really lift the entire earth.
In addition to "Sen" tea shop and "Sen" clothing, there are also "Sen" transportation and "Sen" food.
In other words, only the Ningxiang Pavilion teahouse belongs to her, and everything else is written in her name. This woman is really a bit stupid.
Although there is no such thing as "community property" in law, Zhou Sen does not really regard "Sen" Ji Company as his own property.
Bai Yulan was in the exclusive office of Ningxiang Pavilion, and he sneaked over.
Pushing the door open and walking in, she saw Bai Yulan wearing an embroidered brocade jacket and a pair of embroidered velvet shoes. She was sitting on a chair behind the desk and was reading a bunch of information on the table. When she saw Zhou Sen, she was a little confused. surprise.
"Why didn't you go out today?"
"I just came back. My boss gave me three days off. I need to take a good rest at home and spend time with you." Zhou Sen chuckled, stood up, walked over, held her shoulders, lowered his head and asked, "What are you looking at? ?”
"What are you supporting me for? Take your hands away?" Bai Yulan was not used to such intimate behavior outside her own boudoir.
"You have our son and daughter in your belly, how can I not support them?" Zhou Sen chuckled.
"Fuck you, how could it be so fast..." Bai Yulan's cheeks turned red and she spat at him, "A dog can't spit out ivory."
"Our business is getting bigger and bigger, and this is all due to you, Yulan." Zhou Sen said sincerely.
"Komori, although you are not here, what we have today is all because of the foundation and strategy you laid. I am just executing according to your wishes." Bai Yulan said.
"Yu Lan, you are too modest. Those things of mine are all on paper. You are the one who realized them. If you want to take the majority of the credit, I barely get some." Zhou Sen said with a smile, " In fact, you can do whatever you want, don't worry I will object, as long as people are around, you can make a comeback even if you have nothing."
"Aren't you afraid that I will ruin your family?"
"You are wrong. This home is not only mine, but also yours." Zhou Sen said seriously, "As for me, as long as I have enough money, it will be fine."
"Do you want me to raise you?" Bai Yulan chuckled. After moisturizing, the woman looked even more charming.
"I don't mind!" Zhou Sen's heart swayed and he blurted out.
