Metaphysical Talisman Wife Fortune-telling Spirit: Orion eats chaff and I eat meat

Jin Yilin explained: "The business of Yihelou has always been good. We also listen to you and hold various activities regularly, such as cooking competitions and chef competitions..."

Various activities also cost money.

That is why the profit is so little.

If that money wasn't spent, the net profit of the Yihe Building could have doubled.

Of course, Chen Huaiyu also knows that if he wants to keep his business going for a long time, the key is to keep people coming back often.

So in addition to the particularly recognized dishes and chefs, he also asked Jin Yilin and Luo Hongzhang to invite new chefs and create new dishes from time to time.

For a month, if the dishes sell well, they will stay, if they don't sell well, they will be replaced...

This purely market-oriented behavior has aroused the chefs’ ambition. Nowadays, chefs in the kitchen are proud of the good sales of their dishes, so they naturally put in their utmost efforts.

After hearing the happy news, Chen Huaiyu felt a little relieved. Just after eating and drinking, he pulled Jin Yilin to discuss the matter of opening a branch of Moxiangzhai.

Moxiangzhai follows the path of literati and women. As the son of a minister, Jin Yilin also knows many scholars and children of officials.

He had a wide circle of friends and many women in his family who were all literate. He knew what scholars and women liked.

So when Jin Yilin led Chen Huaiyu to a quiet alley and then into a courtyard, it was no wonder why the backyard of the shop was deliberately made neat and beautiful.

Because the female members of the family were not comfortable showing their faces in public, it was much more convenient to have a backyard where one could park their carriage and then go directly into the private room of the shop from the carriage.

"The front of this shop faces the street, and the back is this yard. The women's carriages can be parked in the yard, and there is also an elegant room for women to drink tea and chat."

In fact, it is to allow the female family members to calm down and read the storybooks in such a room. If they are interested in the front part, they can buy it directly.

If you were to choose from shops on the street, it would be unsightly for a noble lady to stand for too long...

Chen Huaiyu, Lu Yingying and Xiao Luoyi nodded when they heard this.

Xiao Luoyi couldn't help but praise Jin Yilin: "You are very thoughtful!"

Jin Yilin scratched the back of his head and laughed heartily: "My aunt is the most thoughtful. She always takes into account the preferences of the mistress of the house and my father..."

In other words, Jin Yilin inherited his mother's meticulousness.

Xiao Luoyi glanced at Chen Huaiyu, who understood and looked at Jin Yilin.

"Moxiangzhai is planning to do this business in the capital, but we don't have time to stay in the capital for a long time. Are you willing to partner with me in this business?"

Jin Yilin was flattered after hearing this: "I... Of course I am willing! But now I often go to Yihe Building. If I take care of this place as well, will it delay both places?"

Chen Huaiyu suppressed his laughter and said, "Everyone is on the right track now, and the shopkeeper is capable. You don't have to keep an eye on them all the time. Just let Luo Hongzhang keep an eye on them."

"Isn't he going to be your brother-in-law soon? Are you still not confident in his abilities?"

Jin Yilin suddenly realized what was going on when he heard this. He scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Then I will withdraw my shares from that side and concentrate on this side."

Chen Huaiyu waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary: ​​"We agreed when we first invested that the management salary is for management, and the dividends from the investment are for the investment. There is no conflict."

"If you don't have time to manage that area, you don't need to take the management salary, but the dividends will continue."

Although Luo Hongzhang is the future son-in-law of the Jin family, brothers have to settle accounts clearly and cannot be confused, which may lead to conflicts in the end.

When Jin Yilin heard this, he immediately agreed with great joy.

Originally, Chen Huaiyu wrote to him, asking him to look for and buy a shop in the capital to open Moxiangzhai, which would mainly serve female customers and sell storybooks and various exquisite stationery that female relatives liked.

Today, Jin Yilin's arrangement was even better than he had imagined! Even more comprehensive!
It's such a pity not to use such talents!

That's why Xiao Luoyi immediately signaled Chen Huaiyu to use this person thoroughly.

It was agreed that Jin Yilin would be in charge of Jingcheng Moxiangzhai and he would receive 30% of the management shares and dividends. Jin Yilin was so excited that he agreed immediately.

After Chen Huaiyu and Jin Yilin separated, they returned to the Prince's Mansion to discuss with Xiao Luoyi and Lu Yingying how many types and quantities of goods should be prepared, and how to have the script copied as quickly as possible.

On the other side, after Jin Yilin returned home, he went to find Minister Jin first.

Minister Jin already knew that Chen Huaiyu had come to Beijing today and was having dinner with Jin Yilin, but he didn't expect that this bastard had gotten a new project.

Listening to Jin Yilin's retelling of Chen Huaiyu's business ideas, Minister Jin stroked his beard and nodded.

The finest writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstones have always been very valuable, but the wealthy families only bought them for men.

It is rare to find a bookstore whose main customers are women.

Can it work?
Thinking of the prosperity of the Summer Palace, Minister Jin felt that he was overthinking.

The noble families in Daye all like literate mistresses, as this will be more beneficial for their offspring when raising children.

Therefore, the young ladies from noble families in Daye take pride in being literate.

In addition, Chen Huaiyu is the emperor's heir, so even if he only sells women's storybooks, there will surely be many people who will support him, right?

Just for this reason, the shop will not lose money.

"Prince Xing is a good businessman, just listen to him. If there is anything I need you to do, just tell me."

Minister Jin was in a pleasant mood, and Jin Yilin was flattered: it was only after he became a shareholder of Yihe Building in recent months that his biological father spoke to him so kindly.

How could we have such treatment in the past?

"Okay, go tell the steward that from now on your monthly allowance will be the same as the legitimate son's."

"Thank you, Dad!" Jin Yilin was very happy!
In the past few months, he had received more than a thousand taels of dividends from the Yihe Tower, which was enough for him to have the few taels of silver as monthly salary. He was not happy about the money.

He was happy about the recognition from his biological father.

With this excitement, he went to see his aunt.

When the aunt heard that her son's share was the same as that of the legitimate son, she was so happy that she cried!
"I told you...I told you that you can do it..."

Jin Yilin had no choice but to patiently coax his mother, and it took a long time before he finally calmed her down.

He had just come out of the house when he ran into Jin Muyun.

The former eldest daughter stood outside the yard, like a lotus in the wind, slender and graceful.

"Hello, brother!" Jin Muyun bowed very politely.

Jin Yilin waved his hands hurriedly: "We are family, why are you being polite? What do you want from me, sister?"

Jin Muyun smoothed over a strand of hair that was messed up by the wind and said, "I just heard that Prince Xing and my brother are planning to open another Moxiangzhai together?"

Jin Yilin looked at Jin Muyun in surprise: "How did you know?"

"My brother's leg has just recovered recently, so he has been busy going out early and coming back late. Everyone in the family knows that you are working for Prince Xing, so I naturally heard about it."

"That's true. What is my sister trying to do?"

Jin Muyun glanced at Jin Yilin, then lowered his eyes and said, "I would like to ask my brother to ask Prince Xing if Moxiangzhai still needs a shopkeeper."

"Ah?" Jin Yilin was dumbfounded. (End of this chapter)
