Chapter 309 The Legend of Zhen Huan, Yixiu (50)
"Xian Fujin, my master wants you to go to the front yard."
Su Peisheng saluted and said, "Master Jiu wants to see you and wants to discuss business matters with you, Xi Fujin."
"Let's go!"
Li Siqi stood up and walked out, "Don't keep people waiting."
Arrive at the front yard.
The fourth uncle and Lao Jiu stared at each other, sitting in silence.
"I would like to say hello to you, and I would like to say hello to Master Jiu."
Li Siqi greeted the two of them.
"You're here!"
The fourth uncle nodded to her.
Lao Jiu grinned at her with a bright smile, "Sister-in-law, I'm here to find you."
"I know."
Li Siqi walked to the chair next to the Fourth Master and sat down, "Master Jiu has been sending messages that he needs to meet with me to discuss cooperation.
I wonder how Master Jiu plans to cooperate? ”
"Sister-in-law, I listen to you."
Lao Jiu directly kicked the ball back to Li Siqi, "You can cooperate in whatever way you think is appropriate.
I believe that the fourth sister-in-law will not cheat her own people.
Sister-in-law, do you think so? ”
"Is this your sincerity, Mr. Jiu?"
Li Siqi was a little surprised and surprised.
This is not the business method of Caishen Jiu.
"How about it? Is your sincerity enough?"
When Lao Jiu saw her expression, he smiled proudly, "My fourth sister-in-law won't refuse to cooperate with me anymore."
"No problem."
Li Siqi laughed dumbly, "Jiu Ye, don't worry, our cooperation will be a win-win situation.
But if you want to develop, you need a lot of money investment.
I wonder if Lord Jiu is not willing to put money into it. ”
"No problem."
Lao Jiu nodded, "We only have one shop in the capital, which is too small.
Sister-in-law, I need to open at least three or five more stores.
There is no money left to earn.
I feel unhappy. ”
"I understand Master Jiu's thoughts."
Li Siqi nodded, "It's not a big problem to open three or five more stores.
But we need to invest a lot of money.
Master Jiu must be mentally prepared. ”
"Just open a few more shops, how much money will be needed to invest?"
Lao Jiu frowned and said, "Sister-in-law, a few thousand taels of silver is enough.
Could it be that tens of thousands of taels of silver are needed to invest? ”
"Master Jiu, have you ever eaten braised pork from other shops?"
Li Siqi refused and asked, "What is the difference between the braised pork sold in our shop and the braised pork sold by others?"
“What’s the difference in taste?”
After hearing this, Lao Jiu thought for a moment, "The braised pork in our shop is more fragrant, so you won't feel bored eating it.
But the more you eat, the better the taste becomes. After eating, you will remember this taste.
The braised pork made in other shops will have a lighter taste.
Eating it twice more makes it boring.
You can eat it or not.
It’s okay if you don’t eat. ”
"Master Jiu is so smart, he should understand the difference between the two."
Li Siqi smiled slightly, "Whether the braised pork is delicious or not attractive, the key lies in the spices of the braised pork.
You can ask Fourth Master.
How much money does it cost to buy spices? ”
"Spices are expensive?"
When Lao Jiu heard this, he looked towards the fourth uncle.
“It is indeed very expensive.”
The fourth uncle nodded to him, "Last time Honghui and I went out to buy spices, we spent thousands of taels of my money."
"A few thousand taels of silver?"
Lao Jiu's eyes almost popped out of his sockets.
He looked at Li Siqi in disbelief and exclaimed: "Sister-in-law, the spices are so expensive, no matter how good the business is, you can't make much money."
"Expensive, naturally has its advantages."
Li Siqi looked indifferent, "Besides, although spices are relatively precious, they can't only be used once.
As long as the brine is not broken, it can be used forever.
Cook until all the flavor of the spices is gone.
Therefore, although the price of spices is a bit expensive, it is still within the affordable range.
The most important thing is that the spices are a bit expensive.
What I'm most afraid of is not getting the right spices, losing the real flavor of braised pork, and becoming the same fake braised pork as everyone else.
Master Jiu can think about it, will our business be able to continue by then? ”
"That's true."
Lao Jiu nodded in agreement, "In this way, the most important thing for us is to ensure that the spices are complete. Maintain the current braised flavor."
"Not bad."
Li Siqi nodded, "We can indeed get spices in the capital. If we continue to open new shops, we will need more spices.
Not to mention whether the capital can provide us with enough spices.
If something unexpected happens, we may cut off the payment at will.
So we have to have a supply of spices. ”
"What does the fourth sister-in-law mean?"
"Caravan, build a caravan of our own."
"Okay, we have our own caravan, so we can go around to buy spices..."
The two of them were chatting, and they seemed to be getting more and more excited as they became calmer.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The fourth uncle was heartbroken when he saw this.
He wanted to be out of sight, out of mind, but he didn't want to leave the two of them alone.
Staying here makes me look redundant.
It made him feel very uncomfortable.
Inexplicably, I feel a little tortured sitting here.
……
Lao Jiu rarely comes to visit.
It's even rarer to have dinner at Lao Si's house.
Today is an exception.
Thinking of the aggrieved appearance of the fourth child, he felt that he could come more often.
It's also fun to watch the cold-faced king's expression change.
"Why should we cooperate with Lao Jiu?"
The fourth uncle was really unhappy, "If you need money, I can just give it to you.
Why bother dealing with people like Lao Jiu? ”
"Master, Master Jiu is your brother."
Li Siqi raised his eyebrows, "And he is the only one of your brothers who does business.
If I don’t cooperate with him, who will I cooperate with? ”
"You can run your own business."
The fourth uncle frowned, "There is no need to cooperate with him."
Li Siqi's expression was a little complicated, "What do you mean, are you willing to come forward to solve any business problems for me?"
"Ask the servants below to deal with it..."
"Master, not everything can be solved by slaves."
"The slave represents the master."
The fourth uncle looked unhappy, "No matter who you are, you will pay attention to it."
"I do not deny what I said."
Li Siqi was a little tired of his entanglement, "But we still have to see whose slave it is.
In the eyes of the royal family, the slaves around me are nothing.
Is it necessary for me to give face to my slave?
What if it were Master Jiu instead?
Even though they looked down on Master Jiu in their hearts, they still wanted to give the Ninth Prince some face.
Even the slaves around him will not look down upon him.
Master, don't say you don't know this. ”
"..."
The fourth uncle's face suddenly turned ugly.
Li Siqi stood up and said, "Although I am cooperating with Jiu Ye, I am actually cooperating with Jiu Fujin.
Don't worry, Lord.
There are many people watching our business.
It’s better not to worry about things unfounded.
I have something to do.
I'll take my leave first! ”
He bowed to him.
Li Siqi turned around and left.
The fourth uncle watched her leave and felt even more uncomfortable.
……
It’s almost the New Year’s Eve.
Everyone started to get busy.
Rou Ze took over the stewardship and started messing around.
She felt that she needed to save money at home.
New Year's Eve is coming soon.
I don’t know where I found the old stuff at the bottom of the box.
Reward the woman in the backyard as a good thing.
Some old and new fabrics.
Blackened and damaged jewelry, peeling leather, and expired rouge and gouache.
Seeing these things, the woman in the backyard almost fainted from anger.
Although these women are not of high status.
After all, they doted on the wealthy young lady at home.
It's simply humiliating to have these things in front of them!
