"Because the rich people in Shengjing City have a mouth that likes delicious food."
Li Qiao explained.
When doing business, you must conduct market research.
Countless people have been doing traditional businesses such as silk, tea, porcelain, pawn shops, spices, wine, medicinal materials, etc. for a long time.
If he engages in these businesses, firstly, he will have no way out, and secondly, he will have to steal food from other people's jobs.
So, after just a rough thought, he turned his attention back to eating.
Food is the most important thing for the people, and Shengjing is the most prosperous and bustling city in Dasheng. If you are doing food business here, as long as the taste is good enough, you will definitely not lose money.
But what kind of food to eat specifically?
In the past, Li Qiao couldn't make up his mind for a while, but today at noon, Xin Zhi ordered a fried squab, and the peppery smell instantly cleared the fog from Li Qiao's eyes.
What is darkness under the light?
That's it.
He actually ignored the fried chicken legs that his family ate every day. This was really inappropriate.
Let’s not talk about the most famous KFC and McDonald’s, but just talk about the fried chicken restaurants all over the street. This is enough to prove that this business will definitely not lose money.
Moreover, judging from the reactions of Li Xiaorui and the two little guys, we can know that if this shop really opens, it will definitely be prosperous.
After hearing Li Qiao's explanation, Tao Zhu nodded directly: "Okay."
Anyway, he hasn't decided what new shop he wants to open yet. In that case, let's open a fried chicken shop.
After deciding to open a shop, the next step is to choose a location.
Fried chicken is both meaty and oily, and ordinary people would never bear to eat it every day, so this shop should be located in the east of the city.
Tao Zhu had not moved to the east of the city for a long time, but he had wanted to buy a house in the east of the city. At that time, he had learned about various shops in the east of the city, so he had chosen the store location in less than five days.
His shop was famous enough, so he chose not the shops on both sides of the main street in the east of the city, but the shop in an alley across the street from the main street.
This shop is big enough. It was originally two shops and was opened after the previous owner bought it.
The alley is also spacious enough for two carriages to travel side by side, making it quite convenient for guests to come and go.
After buying the store, we start recruiting people.
During this interval, Tao Zhu went to Painter Shen's house and told him about the Seventh Prince's courtyard.
Even though this small courtyard only has three entrances, it is very spacious, almost as big as four entrances, and is enough to renovate a greenhouse.
And the location is good, only three streets away from Tao Zhu's house.
According to Li Qiao, this house is within the second ring road.
The location is good and it is spacious, so the price is not low. Even if the Seventh Prince gives a friendly price, it will still cost 80,000 taels of silver.
Shen Hua naturally couldn't get this money.
Even if it bankrupts the entire Shen family, it can't be taken out.
Tao Zhu had previously offered to lend him money to buy a house, but he refused and wanted to ask his family for money. But at this time, he was frightened by the price and gave up the idea of asking his family for money.
Forget it, he might as well ask Brother Zhu to borrow it.
He has a fixed income. He designs a piece of clothing for 2 taels of silver. In one quarter, he earns almost 700 taels of silver.
but!
This is the number from the past.
He designed parent-child clothing for the Chinese New Year last year. Once launched, it became a hit all over Beijing. Sales quadrupled compared to previous years. People who were originally not interested in Royal Cloth Shop were also attracted by the parent-child clothing and entered the store to spend money.
So for the new styles in spring and summer, he designed parent-child clothes.
Similarly, business in these two quarters has also been booming.
As a result, the silver he received increased from about 700 taels to 3,000 taels.
In these three quarters alone, he received almost ten thousand taels of silver.
He had saved all the money he earned from designing clothes, so now he has saved more than ten thousand taels!
His family's daily expenses are all covered by Xu Ying's salary.
Neither he nor Xu Ying were lavish people, and they had a surplus of their monthly salary. What's more, now that Xu Ying had been promoted, his monthly salary was much higher than before, a full four hundred taels.
Four hundred taels a month is 4,800 taels a year. If you spend half and save half, you can have more than 2,000 taels a year.
Moreover, his parents knew about his situation and gave him money from time to time, fearing that he would be wronged.
Therefore, although 80,000 taels of silver is a lot, he and Xu Ying will definitely be able to repay the 80,000 taels in their lifetime!
Shen Hua was willing to buy the house, so Tao Zhu immediately took 80,000 silver from home and went to the official residence with Shen Hua, the seventh prince's steward, to go through the formalities.
After Shen Hua bought the house, Tao Zhu called his nursing home and assistant to move him within one day.
The Xu family lives in the north of the city. If they want to cause trouble for Shen Hua in the future, they will have to run from the north to the east of the city.
However, after all, Shen Hua's new home was three streets away from his own. In order to prevent anything from being overlooked, Tao Zhu and Li Qiao discussed it and asked Xu Ying's opinion, and then let Buqin Bufa move over.
Xu Ying was very worried that her family would run over and cause trouble for Shen Hua while he was not at home, and his own servant could not control the Xu family.
Now that the two guards who were rewarded by the Holy Spirit live here, he can finally feel more at ease while working in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
After settling Shen Hua's new house, Tao Zhu began to recruit people for the fried chicken shop.
This time, he did not choose to recruit people publicly.
When he was a recruitment manager in a cement workshop, he accumulated a large amount of information about ordinary people. Therefore, he directly sent people to these people's homes to ask them if they were willing to work at Li's Fried Chicken Shop.
The people who were selected all felt like pie in the sky was falling.
Tao Zhu actually took the initiative to send someone to their home to inquire?
Oh my gosh, so approachable!
They are willing and extremely willing. The wages of Li's shop are at the normal level in Shengjing, neither high nor low, but the benefits of Li's shop are good!
During festivals, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu would distribute some food.
There will also be bonuses during the New Year.
Moreover, Li's shop has meals included, and the food is much better than other shops. There is meat in every meal.
What's more, this is the shop of Li Qiao, a third-grade official!
If they enter the shop, it means they have a backer. They have no intention of bullying others, they just want not to be bullied.
After becoming Lord Li Qiaoli's employees, no one should dare to bully them at will in the future.
The people at the bottom responded enthusiastically, and it took Tao Zhu only three days to recruit almost all the people.
However, when it comes to the most core prescriptions, you still need to find someone you can trust.
Tao Zhu was not in a hurry to open the business, but instead trained dozens of newly recruited employees.
If nothing unexpected happens, people from Sanliu Village should arrive in the next few days.
Tao Zhu's guess was good. Five days later, retired elite soldiers from Royal Logistics escorted a group of people from Sanliu Village into Shengjing.
There were actually quite a few people here this time.
Li Liang Wang Guihua came with Li Xiaoshan and Li Xiaolan.
Siblings Li Shu, Li Yuning and Li Yuan also came.
Li Dong and his newly married daughter-in-law Ding Rou also came over.
There are also the Zheng family, Zheng Butcher and his wife, and Zheng Qi and Shi Ju.
In addition, Zhuangjiazhuang Fengshou and his wife, Li Ping and Zhuang Fang, mother and son, came.
The Shen family and his wife also came.
Meng Yue’s parents are here.
Such a large number of people, old and young, have been walking for a long time on the road. Summer is almost over now.
Among these people, except Li Liang and Li Dong, all the others came to Beijing for the first time.
Before entering the city, they were so surprised by the smooth and smooth concrete road that they could not recover for a long time. After entering the city, they saw the spacious and lively Taiping Street. They felt that their eyes were not enough. Zhuang Fengshou couldn't help but turn his head and look left and right.
Is this Shengjing?
It is indeed a prosperous capital city. Even though they heard Li Liang and Li Dong talk about it countless times, they were still shocked when they saw it with their own eyes for the first time.
When Li Liang and Li Dong came last time, Li Qiao Taozhu lived in the north of the city. Now that Li Qiao was promoted and moved to the east of the city, the people from the Royal Logistics took everyone straight to the east of the city.
The east part of the city is an aristocratic area, with spacious and clean streets and tall and beautiful houses, which amazes everyone who sees it.
As expected of Shengjing!
When the group first entered the city, people from Royal Logistics went to report the news to Tao Zhu. Therefore, when everyone arrived at the door of the house, Tao Zhu, Zheng Qianqian, three little guys and a group of servants were already waiting.
"Big brother and sister-in-law!"
Tao Zhu first saw Li Liang and Wang Guihua on the first carriage.
He hurried down the door steps.
Zheng Qianqian originally wanted to lead Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan down slowly, but when she glanced around, she saw Zheng Butcher and his wife sitting in the second carriage.
He thought he was dazzled, but at this time, Butcher Zheng had already seen him and shouted excitedly: "Brother Qian!"
It’s true that my father and mother are here!
Zheng Qianqian was excited and immediately looked at Li Xiaorui on the side: "Take care of your two little uncles. Not only are your grandparents here, but your grandparents are also here!"
After saying that, he let go of the two little guys' paws, jumped down the steps in a hurry, and ran towards Butcher Zheng's carriage.
Li Xiaorui blinked his big eyes, bent down and held the two young uncles in his hands. He stood on the steps without moving, but looked curiously at the carriage approaching from far away.
When relatives meet, they naturally burst into tears.
Tao Zhu's eyes were red, Zheng Qianqian was crying loudly, and Li Shu was wiping away her tears. Li Liang and Wang Guihua were still calm, and after saying a few words to Tao Zhu, they immediately ran to the door and stood on the steps. three little guys.
Li Xiaorui is their eldest grandson.
