Chapter 194 Storybook
“Yes.” The clerk hurriedly took a few books off the shelf, “Look at these books, they are all selling well at the moment.”
Xia Mingyue took it and looked at it carefully.
"Jade Flower Chronicles", "Golden Hairpin Record", "Spring Boudoir Dream"...
Flicking through a few pages, Xia Mingyue discovered that most of them told stories about talented men and beautiful women. Either they are unable to love each other due to family competition, or they are opposed by their families due to the disparity in status, but they are all sadistic love stories that are touching and touching.
At first, the plot seems a bit tacky, but the scholars who wrote these stories have deep writing skills, concise words, and various images vividly on the page, making it very comfortable to read.
Xia Mingyue picked two books she wanted to read and asked, "Are there any weird stories about strange stories?"
"Yes!" The clerk saw a big customer coming and was very busy. She took out the storybook from the bottom of the box and said, "These are all stories about strange stories. Do you think they suit you?" Some folk tales, and even some fairy tales, were included in the collection.
A few more travel books were selected. Xia Mingyue took a total of eleven books and took out her money bag to pay the bill.
"The total is twenty taels of silver." The clerk took out another storybook and handed it to Xia Mingyue, "You bought a lot, and this is a gift."
Xia Mingyue saw that the gift was There is no name written on it, but the content inside looks like the story of the mistress of the Gaomen Courtyard. , Chuchu saw that the writing and content were not bad, and he was a little surprised, "This book looks good, why didn't you take it out just now?"
"To tell you the truth, this storybook is not bad. "It's not finished yet," the clerk said, "This is the first volume, and the second volume has not yet been completed. Originally, the shopkeeper didn't want to accept the unfinished storybook, but the person who wrote the storybook was really short of money, so she said she would sell the book first. She was already writing it and expected to finish it by the end of the year. "
< br>"The shopkeeper saw that the quality of this storybook was pretty good, and then he saw that the man Lian, then I agreed, but the unfinished storybook couldn't sell for the price, and I was afraid that the people who bought the storybook wouldn't see the ending and would curse, so I could only give it half as a gift and half as a sale. Let's see how the feedback is first and wait until it's finished. We’ll see if we sell it later.”
We’ll also see how to price it later.
"That's it." Xia Mingyue nodded, and asked the waiter to wrap up all the notebooks, pay the money, and go out with them.
"Slow down." The guy said briefly.
Seeing Xia Mingyue push the flatbed truck at the door, and put the books directly on the flatbed truck very nonchalantly, she frowned slightly.
After he walked away, he shook his head again.
It is said that people should not be judged by their appearance, and it is indeed true.
This lady seemed to be wearing ordinary clothes. Her clothes were just ordinary fine cloth, and she was pushing a flatbed cart. She was obviously an ordinary person who did menial work.
Such a person is willing to spend two taels of silver to buy a true story.
Tsk, tsk, is this story so beautiful?
The guy twitched his lips and continued to go back to look at the store.
Seeing that it was already noon and there were no customers in the shop, I just stood behind the counter and picked up the ghost story that I had not finished yesterday and continued reading.
In the book, the moon is dark and the wind is high, the wind is blowing, and a pair of red embroidered shoes...
How scary!
But I really want to continue reading.
Xia Mingyue pushed the flatbed truck all the way back home.
After putting away all the storybooks and washing their hands, Jiang Zhuguo and Lu had already prepared lunch.
Steamed white rice, stewed tofu with cabbage, and the meat dishes are braised chicken and braised pork liver left over from Xia Mingyue.
Under Xia Mingyue's daily influence and guidance, the two of them have improved their cooking skills a lot. The cabbage and tofu stew is fragrant and delicious, and is quite delicious.
The braised chicken is fished out and then torn into small pieces and served on the plate. The braised pork liver is also cut into small pieces. No dipping sauce is needed. It is very delicious when eaten alone. "The braised food made by my sister-in-law is very delicious. It tastes much better than the braised food from Yueran Restaurant. Will my brother and sister consider joining the braised food chain in the future?" Lu asked.
Nowadays, the central kitchen has begun to take shape, and everything is in order.
In the past two days, Xia Mingyue once again adjusted the internal division of labor in the central kitchen, assigning all the raw materials needed for the snack stalls, oden cooking, and breakfast stalls to dedicated personnel.
There are also dedicated people to do the cooking, firewood, raw material purchasing, etc.
In this way, each performs his or her own duties, and whenever there is a problem, only one point will be mentioned.
Clear division of labor, clear division of responsibilities, and proper connection enable the entire kitchen to operate in an orderly manner.
In such a central kitchen, even if you add another braised food, it is still affordable.
In addition, braised food is easy to store in winter, and with the Chinese New Year approaching, the demand for braised food is quite high, so you can take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.
If we go back one or two months, Xia Mingyue adheres to a very conservative attitude and approach towards business expansion.
After a trip to Xiaohe Village, Xia Mingyue felt that Lu Qiyan took good care of him, and she should do something for him when Lu Qiyan was in trouble.
To work for Lu Qiyan, you need money to support you.
Today, I went to buy some storybooks, which cost another twenty taels of silver. Xia Mingyue also felt that a comfortable and leisurely life required a lot of money.
Then she needs to earn more money.
Therefore, Xia Mingyue nodded immediately, "It's feasible, let me think about it in the next two days."
It seemed like the usual routine, first they went to set up a stall on the street to try it out. Just sell it and see what the effect is, and then expand it to franchises.
Or just rent or buy a small shop and open it as a self-operated shop.
If the braised food is made in the central kitchen, the shop will only serve as a sales place, and the storefront does not need to be too big. And she has saved some money now, so even if she buys a small shop, it will be easy...< br>
Xia Mingyue thought about the braised food business for two or three days and went to the street for a walk.
The first is to take a look at the shops selling braised food in the entire county, what types of braised food they sell, and what the quality is like. The second step is to see where there are suitable shops.
This morning, when Xia Mingyue was wandering on the street with probing eyes again, she was stopped by someone.
“Ms. A suitable little shop.”
Small shop...
"Ms. Xia, are you planning to start a new food business?" Shopkeeper Qian asked tentatively.
"That's right, but it's not completely determined yet."
Seeing that Shopkeeper Qian hesitated to speak, Xia Mingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, "Shopkeeper Qian has something to say to me. ?"
"Yes..." Shopkeeper Qian rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "Ms. Xia, go to the shop and talk."
"Okay." Xia Mingyue agreed and followed shopkeeper Qian into Rouge Shop.
Ms. Liu was also in the shop and was surprised and happy when she saw shopkeeper Qian and Xia Mingyue coming in together.
Happy holidays to all the adults and children~ In the new month, I hope to get continued support from the little cuties~
