Fu Bao rolled his eyes at him and explained.

"It's delicious, for example, fruit juice, milk tea."

"What is milk tea..."

"I'll tell you later." Fu Bao waved his hand, obviously talking about opening a library, why are these two people focusing on eating and drinking.

"Then we are not just a library, but what is the name?" Wen Heng raised the key question.

Fu Bao glanced at him, "How about Shuxiangyuan?"

"Although we sell some snacks and drinks on the first floor, our target group is students and literati, and only they need a good communication environment."

"Shuxiangyuan, such a name is elegant and high-end." Fu Bao explained.

"Fubao, is the first floor equivalent to a teahouse? For example, if I have an appointment with my little sister, then we can come to the second floor of Shuxiangyuan to buy a script, and then we can chat on the first floor?" Shen Yaner put herself understand said.

"Yes." Fu Bao nodded.

Zhou Zhe frowned, can this work?

Although he thinks this method is not good, but Chu’s trust in Fubao is also supportive, "Although I think it is a waste of this shop to open up, whoever has nothing to do to have refreshments and drinks, but I think it can be tried. try."

"Then it's a deal." Fu Bao finalized, "I want to buy that shop, what's your intention?"

"It's all right."

"It's all right."

The two spoke in unison.

"Then when are we going to sign the business contract and the drink?" Shen Yan'er asked hastily.

"Let's go after dinner."

The three reached an agreement.

at this time.

Fragrant Manlou, Zhang Xiaowu carried ten catties of sweet potatoes on his back and placed them in the backyard, watching the cooks peel and cut them into pieces.

"Xiao Wu, is this candied sweet potato really delicious?" Shopkeeper Feng was a little puzzled when he saw the prescription he sent.

This roasted sweet potato is delicious, he knows it, he has eaten it before, but this candied sweet potato.

"It's delicious, sweet, and the skin is crispy." Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile.

When Mrs. Zhang Wang was making candied sweet potatoes, he watched from the sidelines. He memorized the whole process, and with Fubao's handwritten recipes, there would be no mistakes.

Shopkeeper Feng took the peeled and diced sweet potatoes and followed the steps on the recipe.

When the syrup is boiled, the thick and sweet taste hits the face, so sweet.

Mixed with the sweet smell of sweet potato, after a while, taste it, the sugar on the outside of the candied sweet potato is crunchy, and the sweet potato inside is soft and mouth-watering.

"Delicious." Shopkeeper Feng praised in surprise.

He was born as a cook, and he has cooked a lot of sweet dishes, but it is really rare to see such dishes that are neither sweet nor greasy.

"How much are you going to sell for this prescription?" Shopkeeper Feng asked with a smile.

Since the old Zhang's family only shared the lo mei with their restaurant, Xiangmanlou's business has become the leading restaurant in Fucheng.

Ten miles and eight items are also unique.

"No money, but you have to buy these sweet potatoes from our family." Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile, "This is grown by our family, and no one else knows how to grow it."

"It's easy to say." Shopkeeper Feng smiled and signed the contract.

The news that Xiangmanlou had new dishes today spread widely within two or three days.

Because it is sweet and delicious, it is not liked by the wives of officials.

Because the materials used are relatively expensive, and there is only one serving, the price of this candied sweet potato is ridiculously high, as high as [-] yuan per serving.

But just like this, the hunger marketing method of queuing up to make reservations every day and limited supply has made Xiangmanlou's business even better.

Fubao and others bought the shop, and finally it was 950 taels. After buying it, Fubao asked Shen Yaner to find someone to clean it first, pave the first and second floors with wooden floors, and replace all the doors and windows with new ones. , Beam reinforcement.

After she draws out the specific design, let Boss Zhang help with the decoration.

In the next few days, Zhou Zhe was busy writing new scripts and practicing homework, Fu Bao was busy drawing drawings, telling stories to Zhou Zhe, and practicing homework, while Wen Heng helped with what he could.

Ten days later, Shen Yan'er received the design drawings from Fu Bao.

I am very happy to see the novel style in the picture.

"Brother Zhang, the counter on this floor is called the bar counter? It's similar to the cash counters in other shops. But it's a bit longer, and the arc design is very novel."

"Well. Almost, the left side of this table is for collecting money, and the right side is for customers to get their things." Boss Zhang has heard Fu Bao's explanation of why he designed it this way.

Although he hasn't fully understood the benefits of this, it's certainly not wrong to follow suit.

"Then you can decorate. These days I'm busy communicating with the printing bureau about printing scripts." Shen Yan'er suddenly remembered that she had made an appointment with her father and would go to Beijing North Printing Department later.

"Go and do your work, leave this to me." Boss Zhang waved his hand, beckoning his men to start laying the wooden floor.

When Shen Yan'er returned home, she saw that her father was about to leave.

"Father, why didn't you wait for me a little longer." Shen Yan'er muttered, if she came a little later, wouldn't her father just leave.

"I came out to wait for you. If I didn't want to wait for you, I would have left long ago." Shen Yuanqing couldn't laugh or cry, "Let's go, or else we won't be able to make it to dark."

Shen Yan'er smiled and got on the carriage.

It takes three or four hours from Qingshan Fucheng to Jingbei Printing Department, so we have to start early.

It was already evening when they arrived.

Although the printing department is closely related to the Imperial College in the eyes of outsiders,

But it is also a private printing organization.

It's just that their biggest client is the Imperial College.

In addition, these printing departments have access to more books, documents and historical materials, so they are also very proud.

"Master Shen, this is the beloved daughter who wrote to me, right?"

"Yes, this is my daughter Shen Yan'er."

"Hello, Uncle Zhu, I took the liberty to write a letter to interrupt you." Shen Yan'er greeted with a smile.

"The letter said that Yan'er wanted to open a bookstore, so she wanted to publish some new books. This is not a problem, but the printing price of these new books is expensive..." Zhu Xinyan said with a smile.

When he said this, he clearly meant to tell Shen Yuanqing not to think about using his official position to suppress him, but to ask him to give him a discount.

Shen Yuanqing smiled and didn't say anything. He didn't come here this time to use officials to suppress people, but he just wanted this Zhu to stop talking like a lion.

"The price is easy to talk about. Uncle Zhu doesn't know how much it will cost to print a [-]-[-]-word vernacular?" Shen Yan'er asked hastily.

Shen Yuanqing on the side looked at his silly daughter's question and couldn't help but shook his head.

But his face didn't change.

"A printed copy is only one or two hundred characters, but this pair of engraving blocks is expensive. An engraving block with about 500 characters costs three to five hundred taels a pair." Zhu Xinyan did not exaggerate.

Said a similar price.

Hearing this, Shen Yan'er breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay.

3000 taels of silver to buy a shop, and another 400 taels for decoration and publicity.

The remaining money should be able to make engravings for two books first, and then print hundreds of copies.

Hearing this price, Shen Yuanqing's heart fluctuated slightly, this Zhu Xinyan is different from the rumors.
