The whole family went crazy after reading my mind, and I became a favorite after eating melons

Xu Zhiyan was not joking when she said she wanted to inspect Liuzhou.

After finding an inn to stay, she took Xiaoxi out. It was called shopping, but actually she wanted to see what was popular here. After walking down the street, she saw eight out of ten shops selling food, which made her look dumbfounded.

"Is there a glutton living here?"

Xu Zhiyan was puzzled.

[Although food is the most important thing for the people, there are not so many stores selling food. Even the few remaining stores that do not sell food only sell food-related things... Well, in this case, Doesn’t it mean selling other things can quickly open the market here? 】

She rolled her eyes, took the idea into consideration, and immediately turned around and went back to write the letter.

Xu Yanqing was surprised to see her coming back so quickly.

"Shouldn't the inspection take a long time?"

"I mainly walked the busiest streets, and also went to teahouses to sit and inquire about the living habits of most of the people here. This information is enough."

Seeing his sister's confident look, he became a little curious, walked over to her, and teased her a little.

"Tell me what you can summarize from your information."

Xu Zhiyan took out the notebook, waved her hand, and wrote the word "cloth" on it.

"Brother, do you still remember what made you think I had business talent in the first place?"

When Xu Yanqing heard this, his first thought was: rely on your voice!

Then he thought about it, he was the only one who could hear the little sister's voice, so he thought about it carefully.

"It seems that it's also because of the fabrics. It's because of you. Those fabrics have been popular in Yangzhou Prefecture for many years, and they are still used by many young ladies and ladies from aristocratic families."

Xu Zhiyan applauded.

"That's right, it's fabric! I found that food culture is prevalent here, with snack bars and delicious food everywhere, but who doesn't like to look beautiful!"

"So I plan to open a neutral store here, just like the department store I saw in Uncle Zhang's when I was a kid, except that I don't sell department stores, I only sell fabrics, ready-to-wear, needlework and skin care products."

She didn't believe it anymore, she couldn't defeat the people of Liuzhou with this!

Xu Yanqing thought for a while and nodded.

"You can do this, but won't you have to stay here for a long time?"

"No, you can tell whether a store can gain momentum within seven days of opening. Mine will definitely be a big hit. Then there will be malicious competition from my peers. It only takes one month for me to gain a foothold."

Under Huarong's influence and education, Xu Zhiyan has a keen sense of business and has enough talent to support this keenness, so Xu Yanqing fully trusts her confidence.

"I just heard His Highness say that we will stay here until the Mid-Autumn Festival. There are still two months left, which is plenty of time. So where do you plan to get the supplies?"

"I remember that there was a caravan under my mother's name that passed through here."

"I have already written to them listing the things I need. When the time comes, they will bring them all together. We will use that batch of goods to make a name for ourselves first, and then we will find partners while opening the store. It is best to establish a team dedicated to this place. Caravan."

The members of Mom’s caravan are all good hands and can always get the best goods at the lowest prices. As long as she establishes her own caravan, she can use the routes and partners provided by Mom’s caravan. , can save a lot of things.

But building a caravan is not a simple matter.

"Brother, will you be free later? I want to find a Yaman to buy a few people for errands." When my sister asked if she had any objections, Xu Yanqing came down on the spot, and after asking about the best local Yaman, she took Xu Zhiyan with her. It's past.

"If you want to buy someone, just come to me. Whether it's a servant to sweep the house, a servant or a maid to serve you, or a good person to look after the home, I have it all."

Xu Zhiyan did not hesitate, "I want a lot of people, most of them can look after the home and care for the home, and there are some who are more meticulous in their behavior. Oh, by the way, they must be from good families, and I don't want those who are overly thoughtful."

She is looking for people to do things, not for herself.

Yaren said he understood.

"I want a lot of housekeepers and nursing homes, so let's pick these first. Please follow me."

They were led along a winding corridor and finally stopped in a huge courtyard.

The structure of this courtyard was different from the one she was familiar with. There were doors everywhere. The distance between the doors showed that the room was extremely small and could only accommodate a camp bed.

She frowned slightly.

Xu Yanqing caught her expression with his peripheral vision, leaned forward and whispered in her ear.

"This kind of living conditions is already better than most people who sell their bodies."

Xu Zhiyan didn't expect that such conditions were already good, but on second thought, people who had been reduced to selling themselves might still find such an environment quite good.

She put away her inappropriate sympathy and motioned for the tooth man to take the person out.

As soon as Yaren gave the order, the surrounding doors opened at the same time, and a large group of people came around with cheers.

Xu Zhiyan took a cursory glance. At first glance, these people did appear to be in good health, but they looked a little thin. But that didn't matter. They could be raised later if they were taken care of.

"Brother, you have learned some basic medical skills over the years. Please help me check their pulse and check their physical condition."

Yaren didn't expect that these two people could also have medical skills. During his stunned time, Xu Yanqing had already picked out a few foreigners and strong ones. The remaining people who met the requirements went through Xu Zhiyan again, and finally only six were left.

Yaren thought he could place a big order today, but he didn't expect that the servants who accounted for the largest share of the housekeepers and nursing homes would only pick this small amount. However, no matter how small a fly is, it is still meat. He hid his disappointment and finally talked to Xu Zhiyan. After confirming that there are only these people here, take them to another yard.

In this courtyard are the kind of people Xu Zhiyan requires to do detailed work, but this place makes Xu Zhiyan very unhappy, because a woman rushed to Xu Yanqing when they came in, and the way she was flirting was really vulgar.

Xu Zhiyan had a cold face.

"Is this the quality of the people under your command?"

Yaren quickly pulled the woman away and shoved her into a room with a rough movement. Then he smiled at Xu Zhiyan and said, "I'm sorry, miss. I can guarantee that the rest of the people will be well-behaved!"

She snorted coldly and didn't dwell on the matter anymore, but she didn't show that she didn't mind either.

Yaren secretly spat at the woman who had just done something bad, but on his face, he treated Xu Zhiyan with even more caution.

Xu Zhiyan didn't respond to any of his flattering moves, she just silently picked two people, paid and received the deed of prostitution and went back.

Fortunately, they had booked the entire inn, otherwise I would not have known how to arrange the arrangements when they brought so many people back.
