Nie Huaian leaned on his crutches tightly, pretending to cover his mouth and cough lightly, and said with a stiff smile: "Jin Xiao, my teacher and Chang Lao just heard about the quarrel outside, but someone broke into the garden?"
"It's not a big deal, it's just that in order to reward the Bai Yu delegation, Prince Xie wants to bring them to the restaurant to stay for a while."
Lin Jinxiao replied in a light tone, not wanting the second elder to ask too much about Prince Xie.
"Isn't this a big deal?"
Nie Huai'an frowned and said, "If you can't live in a nice inn, why do you want to live in a restaurant?"
Lin Jinxiao deliberately glanced at Chu Nanzhi beside him.
Now everyone must think that Xie Jingchen moved the delegation into the restaurant just to compete with him and not for other reasons.
Nie Huaian immediately noticed something fishy: it seemed that the rumors were true, and Prince Xie really had a bad interest in Nan Zhi girl.
Just at this moment, Butler Zhao hurried in and asked at a loss: "Your Highness, Princess, I don't know that the one who entered the garden first was the Baiyu delegation, so Prince Xie took 30,000 taels of silver to cover it."
How can this old man settle down in this restaurant?"
"Thirty thousand taels?"
Nie Huaian was shocked when he heard:
He must be jealous of Jin Xiao.
Otherwise, there is something wrong with the Baiyu prince's brain.
Spending a lot of money just to get a smile from a beauty is also a common trick used by children from rich families. I just hope that this girl Nan Zhi will not be moved.
Regarding this matter, Chu Nanzhi had already decided to let nature take its course and did not want to cause any more troubles.
After all, it is the disciple who likes to spend money, and it is not him who feels sorry for him.
Let him do whatever he wants.
Glancing at Butler Zhao indifferently, Chu Nanzhi calmly ordered: "Prince Xie only hired ten other courtyards in the garden, not the entire restaurant. You and Sang Kun only need to run the restaurant normally. Don't."
Ask people to disturb the other courtyard where the Baiyu delegation is staying, and if they have any errands, they will be satisfied as much as possible."
"I've remembered it."
Butler Zhao had no idea at all. Today, it was easier to earn money one lump sum at a time, and the amount was even bigger, which was simply shocking.
"Go ahead."
Lin Jinxiao waved to Butler Zhao and no longer tabooed anything. In full view of everyone, he pulled Chu Nanzhi into the living room affectionately.
Although he knew that Chang Lao didn't like him flirting with his wife in public like this, at this time, he felt that it was more important to let everyone in the world know his love for his wife.
First of all, now my personality is that of a lazy idler who often suffers from leg problems. I have to rely on the princess in everything, so naturally I should be closer to her;
Moreover, it also made Xie Jingchen retreat when she saw the difficulties, and even more so that the powerful people in Jingling City did not dare to slight her.
During the dinner, as usual, he only focused on picking up vegetables for Chu Nanzhi and taking care of the little ones, and did not mention Xie Jingchen's affairs.
After the banquet was over, he sent off his relatives and led the family back to his house.
Chu Wenbi was very satisfied with his son-in-law's performance today. He drank a few more glasses of wine and fell asleep when he got home.
But Chu Nanzhi noticed that Lin Jinxiao was a little too abnormal today, and was afraid that he was ready to attack Concubine Yue and King Nandu.
Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity cannot be missed.
After taking a bath, seeing Lin Jinxiao locking himself in the study room and not knowing what he was doing mysteriously, Liu Yun also led the babies to the backyard to rest first, while Chu Nanzhi led Chu Nanxiang.
Sisters Chu Nanzhu and Sang Kun went to the inner room of the bedroom to count the accounts of the restaurant for the past few days.
Sang Kun looked at the account book in her hand, and anxiety suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Although the restaurant is very profitable these days, a lot of the money it receives comes from predetermined expenses, and Jushengfang's current daily subsidy of money
But there are more and more. In the past two days, three new pastry shops have been admitted, and the daily subsidy has reached nearly one thousand taels."
"It doesn't matter, you can always make back the money you spend."
Chu Nanzhi chuckled nonchalantly.
Now that the restaurant is gradually getting on the right track, he is about to go to Beijing, and there are many things that he should explain to Sang Kun.
Staring at him, Chu Nanzhi said carefully: "More than 20 shops and more than 60 houses have been built on the east side of Jushengfang. Next, you can discuss with Butler Zhao to start selling them, starting next month.
All subsidies will be stopped, and shops willing to move into Jushengfang will be free of rent for three months."
“Rent-free March?”
Sang Kun took a pen and paper and meticulously recorded what she ordered, but this first thing made him feel very embarrassed.
"Not bad, rent free for three months."
Chu Nanzhi replied with firm eyes: "Without the subsidy suddenly, those stores must be unwilling to accept it, but now that the popularity of Jushengfang has risen, they are definitely not willing to give up this good business. Starting next month
, you open the west gate of Qinghefang, remove all the temporary shops, and plan the west area of Qinghefang for everyone to enjoy, so that our two cities can continue to maintain their high popularity."
After a pause, she continued slowly: "Nowadays, it's different from the past. We are not begging for those pastry shops. How can there be more than ten pastry shops left in the two cities? You must consider it when choosing the merchants to settle in.
Be more careful. Those who deal in oil, salt, rice and grains, clothing and shoe shops, rouge and gouache shops, etc. should all be taken into consideration, and try to ensure that the families who live in Jushengfang in the future can buy all the daily necessities nearby.
.”
Sang Kun thought for a moment, and finally nodded happily: "Master's considerations are indeed very thorough. A few days ago, several pastry shop owners who had tasted the benefits came to ask in person when our shop would be able to sell. Now it is also the time of survival of the fittest.
It’s time to leave the merchants who can continue to attract customers for Jushengfang, and let the rest be settled by capable people in other industries. When all walks of life gather around Defang City, everyone feels that it is convenient to live in Jushengfang.
The house no longer has to worry about sales."
"Of course it is. You and Butler Zhao don't have to rush to build the entire house at once. We can sell it while building it, and we can even launch a restaurant reservation model."
Chu Nanzhi considered it carefully and said: "When I went to Beijing this time, I said I would be able to come back before the new year, but I don't know if there will be any changes. Anyway, I have told you the general strategy. If you encounter problems and cannot make decisions on your own, you can
I sent someone to deliver a message to the capital. Anyway, the God of Wealth came today and sent so much money. Even if part of the Jushengfang house is temporarily put aside, we can still afford to lose money."
"Don't worry, Master, I won't let the money you put in go to waste."
After receiving these tips from her tonight, Sang Kun's thoughts became clearer and he was confident that he would make Jushengfang extremely lively and prosperous.
Just thinking about Princess Qian's restaurant that was going to open soon, he was a little worried and frowned slightly: "After the master leaves, our restaurant's business will be affected."
"Don't worry, the Governor of the Tang Dynasty brings in 10,000 taels of silver every month. Are you still worried that Yuanlai Restaurant will not be able to support Gaosheng Restaurant?"
Chu Nanzhi smiled disapprovingly.
But after all, this is not a long-term solution. She has to think of some ways to deal with it.
