The story of the struggle of the poor girl who crossed

Chapter 41
With good luck, Mai Xiang found shopkeeper Liang, and the two went to Hua Yangfan's house together to discuss matters.If you come to discuss with good luck, if someone overhears, that would be bad.

Hua Yangfan went on a long trip, but Tan Yufang didn't come over, which made it easier for Mai Xiang to move freely.

"Uncle, please sit down, I'll make tea for uncle!" Mai Xiang said, and went to make a pot of tea. Although there was no tea set for Kung Fu tea, her flowing movements still stunned shopkeeper Liang.

This little girl is really not simple.I don't know how many surprises she can bring him.He had a feeling that his life might be changed drastically because of this little girl.

Shopkeeper Liang picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Well, it's great, it tastes so good! Mai Xiang, why are you so capable? By the way, what do you want to say when you came to me today?"

Mai Xiang: "Uncle, my little uncle is very kind to me and my family. I really want to pull him out. So, I plan to let my little uncle participate in our cooperation. I don't know what uncle wants?"

Shopkeeper Liang laughed: "That's it? No problem, I agree! Tell me about it!"

Mai Xiang: "My little uncle's money is limited, only 1000 taels of silver. How about this, you invest 4000 taels and take up 1000% of the shares, and my uncle invests [-] taels and takes [-]% of the shares. Let's first take Qinghe County How about opening the main store, and opening branches after the main store is profitable?"

Shopkeeper Liang responded readily: "That's fine, as you said! It's okay to open one store first, but now we don't have many people on hand. If we open several stores at once, we will inevitably be in a hurry!"

Mai Xiang: "About the main store, it's best to find a bigger store with a second entrance behind it. It's best for the dumpling restaurant and the novelty food specialty store to be close together. In this case, the house behind the novelty food specialty store , it can be used for the dumpling restaurant. The house at the back can be decorated into a private room or a small banquet hall. In this way, it can also attract some wealthy families to eat at the dumpling restaurant."

Three days later, shopkeeper Liang came to tell Mai Xiang: "I am interested in the store, you can go and have a look with me, if you like it, you can buy the store today!"

In Shopkeeper Liang's heart, he regards Mai Xiang as an adult.

Mai Xiang went to the shop with him, and she was quite satisfied: "Well, the location is not very good, nor is it bad. Two shops, two second-entry houses, a total of 3000 taels and 500 taels of silver, the price is not bad. It's not expensive. Come on, here it is, buy it!"

The dentist was very happy, so he took the two of them to the yamen, and quickly completed the relevant transaction procedures.Finally, the house deed was handed over to shopkeeper Liang.

The names on the house deed were the names of Shopkeeper Liang and Mai Xiang.This shows that the shop and the house were jointly bought by two people.According to the law of Rongguo, as long as there is an extra ten taels of silver, more than two names can be written on the house deed.

Mai Xiang was very happy.From today onwards, she can be regarded as having her own property in this county town in ancient society.

After buying the shop and the house, the available investment amount is only 500 taels.

Mai Xiang drew a sketch of the decoration design, and Shopkeeper Liang hired an acquaintance to do the decoration. It took half a month, and it was finally done.After ten days of ventilation and ventilation, the dumpling restaurant and novelty food specialty store officially opened.

During the renovation, Mai Xiang also figured out tofu.

On the opening day, the dumpling restaurant and the novelty food specialty store both offered a [-]% discount, which attracted a large number of ordinary people to join in.Luckily, the shopkeeper, Mr. Hua, the head catcher, and Mai Xiang, the hero of the breeding industry, these three are the bosses, so what else is there to worry about?

The price of dumplings is actually not low. A bowl of dumplings is at least half as expensive as a bowl of noodles, but the dumpling restaurant is still crowded.Even the small banquet hall was almost full of people, and the dozen or so private rooms were full of seats.

The novelty food specialty store next door has launched water tofu, soy milk, tofu flower, and dried tofu. Because of this unusual food, the people in the store cooked a plate of spicy tofu, a plate of homemade fried tofu, and a plate of fried beans with green vegetables. Dry, a plate of fried tofu with minced meat, please try it.

Mai Xiang shouted loudly: "Novelty tofu, taste it for free!"

The crisp and pleasant sound has attracted many diners.

After tasting, most of the people bought a few pieces of water tofu or a few pieces of dried tofu to go back.More people, after eating dried tofu and tofu, bought a bowl of tofu flower or soy milk to drink on the spot.

The people behind, seeing the people in front looking satisfied with their drinks, hurriedly paid for it.[-]% discount, only for this day, if you don't buy it, you will suffer a loss!

After closing the door at night, Mai Xiang took shopkeeper Liang to take stock of today's turnover and calculate the net profit.

Mai Xiang cracked her abacus, and finally reported a number: "100 taels 21 taels, today's net profit is 120 taels! This is still a [-]% discount, otherwise, it will be a little more!"

Shopkeeper Liang was also surprised and happy, but he still poured cold water on it: "It is precisely because of the [-]% discount that so many people came to buy it. The number of people who will come tomorrow may only be as many as [-]%!"

Mai Xiang waved her hand indifferently: "Don't be so pessimistic, our dumplings and tofu are unique. Let me ask, starting tomorrow, will the lucky one come here to buy tofu and dried tofu?"

Shopkeeper Liang: "Such a good thing, of course we have to come in. Otherwise, other restaurants sell dishes made of tofu and dried tofu, but Haoyunlai doesn't, so the business of Haoyunlai will be affected. !"

Mai Xiang asked another question: "So, Uncle, do you want to welcome customers and do exclusive business with Good Luck, or accept orders from other restaurants?"

After hearing her words, shopkeeper Liang couldn't help hesitating a little.It stands to reason that from the standpoint of the shopkeeper of Haoyunlai, he naturally hopes to reach an exclusive business with Yingkelai; good.

However, he quickly made a decision: "Naturally, the more you sell, the better. If you are lucky, there are not many tofu and dried tofu stores. Only by serving the public can we grow our tofu business." Bigger!"

He understands that even if he has good intentions and wants to do exclusive business with Haoyun, he still has to consider the positions of Mai Xiang and Hua Yangfan.It has nothing to do with good luck, so why not earn money?

Mai Xiang said: "How about this, I'll sell a few tofu recipes to Haoyunlai, in this case, Haoyunlai will have a big advantage!"

Shopkeeper Liang was overjoyed: "Okay, thank you! We can discuss the price, and you will be satisfied!"

Mai Xiang picked up the pen and quickly wrote down five recipes: "Uncle, for your sake, I will give you a friendly price! Five recipes, a total of 150 taels of silver!"

"Thank you, I'll ask the accountant to bring the money in a while!" Shopkeeper Liang accepted the menu and happily returned good luck.

The dumpling restaurant jointly opened by Mai Xiang, shopkeeper Liang, and Hua Yangfan is called Yingkelai Dumpling Restaurant, and the novelty food specialty store is called Yingkelai Novelty Food specialty store.

In the backyard for welcoming guests, a courtyard was set aside as a place for the shopkeeper and shop assistants to stay and look after the store.The master bedroom in this courtyard was reserved for Mai Xiang as her place to stay in the county town.

That night, Mai Xiang stayed at the guest house and did not return to his uncle's house.

Early the next morning, she had just finished washing when she heard the report from the handyman Mao Sheng: "Master, a lot of people have come to place orders, including the shopkeeper of the restaurant and the housekeeper of the big family! The front is too busy, please wait for the second shopkeeper." Go there!"

Manager Tian of the Dumpling Restaurant is Manager Liang; Manager of the Novelty Food Store is Mai Xiang.The person in charge of making tofu and bean products is Liang Guihua, a woman in her thirties. Her husband died on the battlefield, leaving behind a 12-year-old daughter and a seven-year-old son, Mao Sheng.Liang Guihua's natal family belongs to Liang Jia'ao, and is not related to Mai Xiang's family.

After her husband died in the country, she was bullied by her husband's family so that she had no place to stand, so she had to take her children to her mother's family.Helplessly, my natal sister-in-law is a vicious woman who cannot tolerate the three of them, mother and son, and is reduced to living in a thatched cottage on the side of the mountain.Liang Guihua is a hard-working woman who also loves to be clean, and has a simple heart. She is also very good at cooking and has a talent for cooking.

When Mai Xiang heard about it, she got in touch with her for a while, brought rice and money, and helped her several times.After investigating for a period of time, I found that this person was really nice, so I invited him to welcome customers, and specially made tofu and soy products for the novelty food specialty store.Mai Xiang signed a ten-year contract with her, and taught her how to make tofu, dried tofu, tofu flower, and soy milk.

In addition to Liang Guihua, the people who can make tofu and tofu products are Huashi and Licorice, and Liang Guihua's 12-year-old daughter Xiaocong.On the opening day, Fahrenheit also came to welcome customers, helping to make tofu and dried tofu.The main force of the novelty food specialty store is currently Liang Guihua, Huashi and Shallot, and Mao Sheng is helping in the front shop.

The person in charge of selling things in the shop in front is Liang Gaoshan's good brother Mao Lin, and a young boy Shen Haisheng introduced by the shopkeeper Liang.Shen Haisheng is very eloquent, cheerful and lively, always laughing, and is responsible for entertaining guests; Maolin is silent and steady, and is responsible for collecting money and weighing tofu.Such a combination couldn't be more suitable.

Shen Haisheng is the second shopkeeper of the novelty food specialty store.

The novelty food specialty store also recruited a worker who lives in the county to deliver food.This man was found by Hua Yangfan, he was the younger brother of a fast catcher, he was hardworking, smart, honest and honest.

The two head chefs of the dumpling restaurant, one is Tian Sheng's wife, and the other is someone hired by shopkeeper Liang.Tian Sheng's wife is also more talented in cooking, and she also likes to be clean.So, Mai Xiang recruited her into the dumpling restaurant.Maolin's wife likes to farm, and the food she cooks is so-so, so Maixiang doesn't think about it.Regarding this, Maolin's wife was not angry either, she knew what she was capable of and expressed her full understanding.

Mao Lin had also separated from his brother a long time ago. The family of four lived alone and built a new house near Mai Xiang's house.Now, Maolin has become the receptionist again, and the family has another income, so he is very happy.

Closer to home.

The little handyman Mao Sheng came to ask Mai Xiang to go to the front to help.

Mai Xiang couldn't help but feel happy, and said to herself: Hehe, this is the rhythm of business booming!

Seeing her, the panic on the face of the second shopkeeper finally calmed down a bit: "Boss, you are here! Oh, there are so many people, it's too chaotic!"
