After returning home from Zuichun Building, it was already evening.

The eldest sister-in-law Xie Chen and Shui Yun had already prepared the meals. When the little loli saw Xie Shen entered the house, she walked up quickly and said, "Young master, why are you coming back now? We have been waiting for you for a long time. Hey, why is there such a big wine bag on you?" gas?"

Seeing little loli's disgusted face, Xie Shen felt a little embarrassed.

"When I went to the county school, I met brother Shouwen, so I went to the restaurant with some friends to eat some food and wine."

"Well, no wonder."

Little Loli tilted her head to one side, blinked her eyes and said, "But I don't care about that, you still have to eat a bowl of cooked meals!"

Xie Shen and little Lolita went to the inner hall and sat down around the table. The elder sister-in-law Xie Chen burst into tears and said, "Bodhisattva bless you, Xiao Lang has really been selected as a scholar. Tomorrow morning, my family will go to Pushan Temple in the west of the city." I wish."

Eldest brother Xie Fang reprimanded: "It's Xiao Lang himself who is hardworking and studious, so what's the matter with the Bodhisattva?"

The sister-in-law Xie Chen rolled her eyes at him and said: "What are you talking about? If I hadn't prayed sincerely and the merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva blesses me, how could Xiao Lang pass the exam so smoothly."

Xie Shen was confused by the two and couldn't say much, so he coughed lightly and said: "By the way, brother, when I came back from the restaurant, I passed by Feng's Bookstore, and I have already negotiated with the shopkeeper Feng, and he agreed to our family's shareholding." .”

"really?"

Xie Shen successfully led the topic away, Xie Fang asked happily.

Don't look at him saying that he is not qualified to manage the bookstore, but he is still looking forward to it in his heart.

My young man is promising, so I bought him a bookstore to run.In the future, if Xiao Lang wins Jinshi and becomes an official, life will definitely be better.

Thinking of this, Xie Jiefang felt his chest warm up, and felt that no matter how much grievance and fatigue he had suffered before, it was worth it.

Not a family, do not enter the door.

The sister-in-law Xie Chen also said: "Don't look at your elder brother who can't make a boring fart with a stick, if you really want him to run a bookstore, maybe you can really make something out of it."

Xie Shen nodded, asking the eldest brother to run the bookstore is only the first part of his plan, the purpose is to train the elder brother's business ability, which is more training than being a small tea vendor.

After that, Xie Shen wanted to open a bank in the name of his elder brother.He came from a poor family with a weak foundation. If he wanted to accumulate wealth quickly, he couldn't do it slowly like those aristocratic families, but had to operate the business that made the fastest money.

After that, Xie Shen hasn't made up his mind yet, but he doesn't want to touch Huangshang for the time being.

As an imperial merchant, looking at the scenery, in fact, he smashed his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach.Not only is there not much profit, but it also has to endure layers of difficulties from governments at all levels.

Let's just say that in the weaving industry in the south of the Yangtze River, the most profitable is not the imperial merchants.The officials of the Weaving Bureau were all like lions, and more than half of the profits had to be swallowed by them.

If the service is not thoughtful, it is too small to lose the qualification of the emperor and smash the signboard, and it is very likely that he will be bitten back and lose his life.

You must know that the Zhejiang silk woven by the imperial merchants was sent to the palace. If something went wrong, even the whole workshop would not be enough to atone for it.

Therefore, Xie Shen is in a high position, and Xie Shen will not easily contact the imperial merchants before he holds power.From Xie Shen's point of view, the emperor's merchants show their status, but he has not reached that status yet, the kingly way is to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.

"Tomorrow, brother, you can go directly to the bookstore. If you don't understand anything, you can ask shopkeeper Feng. As for the tea shop, I will ask Shui Yun to watch it first. We will hire a few people after a few days."

"I'm going to go to the store? My son, I'm afraid it's not right. How can I do something like this in public?"

Hearing this, Shui Yun's face turned pale, her face was pale, and even the chopsticks in her hands almost fell off.

Men and women's defense, three obediences and four virtues, these rules given by Zhu Xi reached their peak in the Ming Dynasty, and Shui Yun also grew up in this environment, so naturally she couldn't accept Xie Shen's advanced ideas for a while.

Only then did Xie Shen realize what the problem was, nodded and said: "You are right, then let's hire a few assistants tomorrow. But only assistants are not enough, you, the female shopkeeper, will still be here."

Although the profit of the tea shop is not as good as that of the bookstore, it is the eldest brother's life-long painstaking effort, so Xie Shen naturally couldn't bear to see the tea shop close.But people's energy is limited, and if the elder brother puts his energy into the bookstore, he will have no time to be distracted.Let Shui Yun come forward, firstly, because Xie Shen trusts her very much, and secondly, because Xie Shen values ​​Shui Yun's meticulous workmanship.

The tea shops are not making any money now because they only sell local tea from Yaojiang.

If you buy some Qiantang Longjing, your income will definitely be doubled.But these are not the point.What Xie Shen really wants Shuiyun to do is to upgrade the quality of tea and create a high-end brand concept.

In any era, the saying that rare is more expensive is true.

If the quantity of tea sold can be controlled, broken up into wholes, and packaged, there will definitely be a lot of dandies rushing to buy them.

Drinking tea is elegant. If you write a few poems on the wooden tea box, it will naturally add a lot of sentiment.

The target group of high-end tea sales is those dudes.These people may not have much talent and learning, but they must be arty, and this kind of high-end tea is naturally very suitable.Just the tea box with poems on it is enough for them to show off in front of relatives and friends.

Of course, teapots and teacups can also be sold as a set in the later stage.However, this requires cooperation with some porcelain merchants, and Xie Shen hasn't found a good candidate yet.

"Since this is the case, then I will give it a try."

Shui Yun lowered her head, biting her red lips lightly with her white teeth, showing a special charm.

"Young master, what about me!"

Seeing that Shuiyun had an errand, little Lolita was naturally a little jealous, puffed out her small chest and asked loudly.

Xie Shen's heart sank, it seems that there will indeed be problems if the bowl of water is uneven.

"Don't worry, I won't forget you."

After a short pause, Xie Shen said: "When I was in Hangzhou Mansion and Brother Shouren had nothing to do, I tried to cook, but I didn't expect the dishes to taste very good. You are idle at home anyway, why don't you come here Follow me to learn how to cook. Of course, sister-in-law can also give pointers."

Now it's not just the little Lolita, even the eldest brother Xie Fang and sister-in-law Xie Chen are all looking at Xie Shen with doubts.

Xie Shen felt so depressed.In his previous life, his culinary skills were excellent, even if he couldn't work as a chef in a five-star hotel, he was still an expert in cooking on campus.

Many dishes of later generations are simply delicacies when they are moved to the Ming Dynasty.

Sure enough, we still have to rely on strength to speak!

Xie Shen has always had a heart to cook privately, but he has been struggling for the imperial examination since he came to Daming.Now that I finally have some free time, it is naturally a good choice to teach the little Lolita and the sister-in-law.

A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, at least Xie Shen can't be the master of the kitchen.But if the sister-in-law and the little Lolita become teachers in the future, it is not impossible for Xie's family to open another restaurant to make more money.
