Mingyi didn't notice his confusion. He only had store plans in his head.

After shaking her head and returning to the carriage, Zhou Ting was still confused; but when she saw Mingyi tilting her head and stroking her chin in thought, she really couldn't bear to interrupt her train of thought.

When Mingyi came back from her reverie, she looked up and saw Zhou Ting staring at her for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Chaosheng, I've thought about it, doing women's business is the most profitable. I want to sell rouge and gouache, and then buy some women to teach them how to use human body acupuncture points, and run a massage business. There are also some beauty techniques and methods. It can be used.”

"Also, the northwest is bitterly cold, and when the ice and snow melt, the moisture is very heavy; the moisture, moisture, and coldness will lead to poor health. From this point of view, acupuncture and steaming are used to remove moisture from the human body and play a role in health care. .”

After talking about her thoughts in a nagging way, Mingyi talked about a practical problem, "With the shop now, people can buy and train people. I don't have a yard in Fucheng. If I buy someone, I can give them a place to live."

His expression darkened. On the surface, he had enough money to buy a person, but not enough to buy a yard.

"There should be a small courtyard behind your shop where people can live." Zhou Ting said.

Mingyi was stunned and looked up in surprise, "Is there a yard behind?"

"Most of the shops here have yards, and the shopkeeper's family can live in them. Didn't you look at them when you bought the shops?"

"No." She shook her head and said helplessly: "The shop was sold to us by a merchant who cooperates with my family. It is impossible for a long-term cooperation partner to sell us a bad shop; besides, the location is no problem, they have obtained the land deed. Come over, we made the deal on the spot, but we didn’t get to see what the shop looked like right away.”

Zhou Ting sighed silently, the Cheng family was still too trusting.

There are many people who have been cheated by long-term partners. If you are really cheated, it will be too late.

Fortunately, they should know that the Cheng family is the family he takes care of, and they will not cheat the Cheng family for no reason.

"Do you have the key to the shop?"

"Yes." Mingyi nodded repeatedly, "But I didn't bring it out, it's at home."

Zhou Ting nodded, "Ask your nanny to go back and get it. Before the teacher arrives, organize the shop first. If there are people in the backyard, and how many people can live there, then you can decide how many people to buy back."

"it is good."

Mingyi nodded without hesitation.

The two of them wandered around the city for half a day, and bought two portions of something they wanted to eat. When they returned to the palace, it was noon, and Mingyi had almost eaten, so she only ate a little casually with the princess and Zhou Ting.

Afternoon.

Mingyi sent Nanny Rong home to get the key.

Early the next morning, Zhou Ting took Mingyi to her shop. When she opened the shop, she found that it was very clean inside; the shelves and goods were not there, but the floor had been specially swept so there was no need to clean it again.

That's it.

The second floor was equally clean, so Mingyi stopped looking; instead, she and Zhou Ting went to look at the backyard. There were five small rooms in total and a large master bedroom.

The master bedroom must be for the owner or the shopkeeper, and the small wing is equivalent to a guest room; a small wing is about fifty square meters, with a heated kang, which can accommodate five or six people.

"It seems that we need to buy six women and hire a shopkeeper; we also need two errand boys, and the boys cannot be men."

Once she knew about the shop, she thought about it, "There will be six people doing massages and two people running errands. The shopkeeper can't be a man; he has to be a girl with business experience."

As she spoke bit by bit, a family appeared in Zhou Ting's mind. "Yiyi, female shopkeeper, do you also want to use the people you bought?"

Mingyi looked at him and said: "I can rest assured only if I have the body deed in my hand. Besides, I am not familiar with the northwest and my foundation is not deep. I bought it with someone to avoid subsequent troubles. However, you ask, is that right?" Do you have the right person for you?"

"There is one, but you are right; you can rest assured only when you hold the body contract in your hand." At this point, he stopped talking.

Mingyi stared at him for a while and asked, "Is the person in your hand trustworthy? If he is trustworthy, there is no harm in using him."

"Believable, this person is the wife of a Bai family in the army, surnamed Wan; Wan Bai family died in the battle last year when resisting the invasion of foreigners. His wife and daughter are not living well in their husband's family, and their husband's family is staring at the money in their hands. Pension, and also wants to marry off and buy and sell his wife and daughter.”

"Wives and daughters from hundreds of families have begged General Xiaolin in the army. They are currently being placed in a private house by General Xiaolin. They have no livelihood and can only rely on General Xiaolin's subsidies to live."

"However, after General Xiaolin discussed the marriage some time ago, his fiancée's family found out about the matter and thought that General Xiaolin was hiding an extra room. They almost broke off the engagement. Although they later explained it clearly, there was still suspicion about this matter."

If we could take people out and provide them with a livelihood, the matter would be solved.

Mingyi heard this curiously, "Are the daughters-in-law of Wanbai households intentional or unintentional?"

Whether you have the heart to be a foreigner is the key.

If she brings someone here and they want to live a good life as an outsider, why should she be the bad guy?

"It's unintentional. I met him accidentally. He is a decent person. He has no unkind thoughts about General Xiaolin. He is respectful and treats him as a benefactor. There is no sign of seduction."

"Then does she have business experience? Women are not as good as men as shopkeepers." This is the fact that the Xi Dynasty is not friendly to women.

Zhou Ting thought for a moment and said: "I heard General Xiaolin mention by chance that Wanbai's natal family is a businessman, but it's just a small business; otherwise, should I have someone teach her?"

"Okay, then ask. If she is willing, she can move here first and you can send someone to teach her. If she is not willing, forget it. I will slowly look for the shopkeeper." Anyway, we are training a group of girls who have no foundation. It takes a lot of time.

Zhou Ting smiled, "Thank you Yiyi."

"Why are you thanking me? You are helping me. It's my turn to say thank you."

It’s not scary to have no experience, the key is to be honest.

Zhou Ting turned to look at Bu Wei.

"I heard?"

"Yes, sir, I have remembered it. I will ask General Xiaolin later." He bowed his hands respectfully and stood.

Zhou Tingdao: "No need to wait later, go now, come as Yiyi said; bring her here if you want, forget it if you don't. Yiyi happens to be here. If you come, you can see me."

Nodding in response, "Here."

After watching Buwei walk out of the shop, Zhou Ting and Mingyi looked back and forth in the small courtyard twice; in the city, such a backyard is considered large, but unfortunately, it seems a bit cramped due to too many rooms.

"I'll leave it to you to find a reliable one later." After he finished speaking, he talked about the second floor again, "How do you plan to renovate the upstairs?"

Mingyi had already had an idea, and he revealed his plan as soon as he asked.

"The wing rooms are built one after another, and the upstairs area is about 100 square meters; one wing room covers an area of ​​10 square meters, and ten wing rooms can be built. One wing room can be used as a rest room, three wing rooms can be used as massage rooms, and three wing rooms can be used as beauty salons. , three rooms for hot steaming."
