Space takes me to ancient times

Chapter 120 Opening of the Pastry Shop

Qu You brought Huan Shan and the others back to the Qu family's mansion excitedly. As soon as they entered the courtyard, Qu You ordered Dai Rou to boil water in the bathroom. She wanted to take a bath and change clothes, and asked Huan Shan to prepare some mint leaves for her. Moldy.This day is really thrilling, I don't know if it's a bad year, but who is it really rushing to?

"Huanshan went to Madam's room and asked her to cut some villains for me, and if I committed villains, I would trample her to death." Qu You said fiercely.

"Yes." Huanshan agreed outside the room.

"Ah... Also, I'm preparing a brazier for Miss, and I'm going to step over the brazier after taking a bath." Just as Huan Shan was about to leave, Qu You's words sounded again.

Take a bath and change clothes, remove the mildew with mint leaves, step over the brazier, well, that's it.Qu You nodded in satisfaction.

Huanshan and Dairou's hands and feet were quick, and everything was ready in the time of a cup of tea. After Qu You took off her clothes, she lay relaxed in the bathroom, letting the steam fill the sky.

"My lord, the matter has been settled." Shen Yan came back and reported.

"Send a few people to follow Qu You, I don't want her to make any mistakes." Chu Yu stood on the spot with one hand behind his back, eyes dim and unclear.

"Yes..." Wei He and the others said in unison.

"But, where is Prime Minister Zuo..." Shen Yan was still a little worried.

That old man Lin Ziyang is going crazy and killing people. If he knows that his daughter-in-law has been thrown into the red tent, he may not make a fuss. If he participates in beating the prince in front of the emperor, things will not be good.

"This king is free to decide." Chu Yu glanced coldly at Shen Yan, turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves.

The next day, Quji Pastry Shop opened happily.Adhering to a low-key style, Qu You is relatively low-key for this opening.She just asked Xinrou, Shuitao and others to distribute leaflets on the street, set off firecrackers, and open the business after uncovering the red silk.

There are many merchants traveling from south to north in Yanlai County, and the Qu family's shop is well-known among the big families in Yanlai County.Coupled with Qu You's deliberate publicity before the opening, now many customers have heard the news and come over.

When I arrived at the pastry shop, some customers couldn't move their feet immediately. Even though many of the people who came here were family members of rich families, they had never seen such novel and unique things.

"Sister-in-law, look at the pastry with three layers. What is the white thing on top?" A lady in green silk led the girl to the display case of the birthday cake.

"Hello miss, this kind of pastry is called birthday cake, and it is specially used for birthday celebrations." Shuitao stepped forward to explain with a smile on her face.

"Oh, it's for birthday celebrations." Several guests surrounded it curiously.

"Miss and Madam, if you usually eat, you can come here." Xianghan smiled and motioned everyone to follow her. "There are almond cakes, sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and glutinous rice cakes that we can eat on weekdays, as well as our Qujia's innovative and original cream pastry, ice point, moon cakes and bread."

Some rich families saw the novelty and cuteness of the pastry, and bought it on the spot, and those who were impatient after paying the money, immediately sat at the table next to them and ate it.

"Hmm~ delicious." A chubby little girl scooped a spoonful of cream and put it in her mouth.

"Oh, this is really delicious." The woman in the green silk dress just covered her mouth and exclaimed.

Now, the customers who had been on the sidelines all paid for it one after another. Everyone, you have one piece, and I have one piece. The busy Qianwen and others didn't touch the ground, and sweat oozes from their foreheads.

Standing at the door, Qu You looked at the busy figures of Xianghan, Qianwen and others in the house, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.It seems that this pastry shop is really opened right, and it really makes money.

In the next few days, although the business in the store was not as busy as it was on the opening day, there was still an endless stream of people who came to buy pastries every day.Qu You even took the opportunity to formulate a VIP system. If you spend 100 taels of silver, you can apply for a membership card for free. Members can not only enjoy a discounted price, but also get a free birthday cake from Qujia Bakery on their birthday.

Now the pastry shop has basically settled down, and there is still a surplus of silver taels in the shop.Qu You sent someone to fetch some money from the store and prepared to go to the market to buy some manpower. There are more and more shops at home, and the manpower is really not enough.

"Miss Qu, where are you going?" Shen Yan, who came to buy pastries, hurried over to greet Qu You.

"Buy people, why are you interested?" Qu You teased.

"Let's go, I'm still afraid of this." Shen Yan jumped into the carriage uninvited.

I'll go, if I tell you to go, just go, you don't know how to be modest.Qu You held his forehead helplessly, wondering if he should drive Shen Yan out of the carriage.

"Let's go, master will help you choose carefully." Shen Yan ignored Qu You's uneasiness, stepped forward and called Dong Zi to drive the carriage to Renshi.

This little girl from the Qu family is very flamboyant now, it seems that he has to take good care of the prince, such a charming little girl is being snatched away by others, Chu Yu has to cry to death.Shen Yan lowered her head and smiled triumphantly.

"Miss Qu, your business is getting bigger and bigger. What kind of people do you want to buy when you come back? I have a lot of goods in this batch. The embroiderer and the nurse are all available. Let's see how many you can pick." No?" The matchmaker watched Qu You and the others come in from a distance, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them warmly.

"You call everyone out, I'll see for myself." Qu You ignored the salesman's promotion, and secretly thought about who to buy.

People who know martial arts must get a place, and from now on, everyone in the family must know martial arts, otherwise, if one day there is a scene of being kidnapped on the street, she won't be able to find a place to cry.

"Okay, then you can take a look first." The prostitute clapped her hands and summoned a group of servants to be selected.

Qu You frowned and circled around these people, many people on the field were sweating nervously.She saw that although the people brought this time were pale and thin, everyone was very delicate and had faithful facial features.

"Miss Qu, don't look at these people with yellow and thin faces. There are quite a few of them who are literate, and some of them have family skills. Take your time and we will throw the ones we can't pick into the secret door. "The matchmaker's words made the candidates shrink into a ball, and everyone looked at Qu You anxiously, fearing that she would not be able to pick him.

Hmm~ Didn't this guy say to help me pick someone, now that someone is here, let's go... Qu You raised her eyebrows and looked at Shen Yan.

Shen Yan shook his head amusedly, and leaned forward, "These few are suitable for martial arts, and these few have skills."

For the people Shen Yan randomly selected, Qu You took a closer look, they were handsome, honest and honest, well, they were all malleable talents, as long as they were trained well, they would become great talents in time.

"Prepare the deeds of sale for these people, I will buy them all." Qu You waved his hand proudly.

"Okay, 32 taels in total for 320 people." The matchmaker stepped forward with a smile and stretched out her hand.

"Cheaper..." Qu You made another mistake of bargaining.

"Miss Qu, I already gave you a small change for the person you bought last time. You really can't negotiate the price this time." The matchmaker was crying, and suddenly she didn't know how to communicate with Qu You.

"Eight two." Qu You smiled and stretched out his hand to make an eight.

"Miss Qu, some of the people you bought are official slaves, and they all know how to read and write." The matchmaker gritted her teeth and refused to let go.

"Let's go, don't buy it." Qu You pretended to be angry and flicked his sleeves, planning to scare the matchmaker by using the modern way of bargaining for clothes and leaving if they don't sell them.

"Hey, Miss Qu, it's easy to discuss, easy to discuss, otherwise you will be alone." The matchmaker almost cried, and she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Qu You's sleeve.Why is Miss Qu so difficult to talk to, I thought she was a big fat sheep, but I didn't expect that she would be so picky and searched to death.

Look, this trick is really easy to use. It has been tried and tested.Qu You turned her head and smiled lewdly.

Qu You paid the prostitution money of these people, a total of 280 eight taels.The matchmaker stretched out her hand to take the money, dumbfounded, "These embroiderers are also very good, Miss Qu still needs it."

This little girl is picky, but if she really buys it, she will be unambiguous, so let's forget about small profits but quick turnover.The prostitute opened her mouth and asked uncertainly.

"Call someone over and let me have a look." Qu You pondered for a while.

The matchmaker grinned, and cheerfully turned her head to lead the people. After a while, a group of more than a dozen embroiderers were led out.Qu You looked at it carefully, her fingers were slender, flexible and tough, well, her embroidery skills should not be bad.

"Which one of you is better at craftsmanship." Qu You asked in a deep voice.

"Miss, we are the embroiderers of the Nishang Pavilion in Feiyun City. Just because the proprietress in the shop didn't want to commit herself to the governor's son as a concubine, the governor's son asked Ji to kidnap the proprietress, and the proprietress didn't want to be humiliated and committed suicide by jumping into a well. We were originally the best embroiderers in the store, but Nishang Pavilion was disbanded after the proprietress committed suicide, and we were all sold by the proprietress' younger brother." A leading embroiderer stepped forward and cried.

"He was taken away again, and he was also humiliated." Qu Youhou trembled with fear, and suddenly felt the importance of knowing martial arts.

Qu You looked at these embroidered mothers who were crying silently, and suddenly couldn't bear it anymore.Forget it, anyway, I want to open a showroom, so let's buy them all.Just now those people bought it at nine taels, but now they have to be at eight taels.Qu You haggled with the matchmaker for a long time, and finally bought all the eighteen embroiderers with eight taels of silver.

Eighteen embroiderers, 140 four taels of silver, Qu You reluctantly reached out and handed over the silver.The matchmaker didn't care so much, took the money and left cheerfully.To make you prodigal, make you owe money, and make you spend money so that you can't stay overnight, Qu You looked at the little money left in his hand and felt like crying, why can't he save money? Spend it immediately.

The people have also been bought, and the money has been spent. Qu You asked Dongzi to take the people to the pastry shop to make arrangements. Tomorrow, two employee shuttle buses will come and pull everyone back to resettle at once.

"Guard Shen, thank you today." Qu You said listlessly.

"You're welcome." Shen Yan looked at Qu You with a smile on his face.He has really gained his knowledge today, this little girl is a money fanatic, she can still bargain when buying, she is really No. 1 in ancient and modern times.

"Then, let's take our leave first." Throwing it away after using it is like crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, Qu You suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"It just so happens that the palace has something to do, so Shen will leave first." Shen Yan cupped her hands and walked out of the market first.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days later, Qu You entered the city again, and the city was full of scholars with scholarly faces, and everyone carried their bags and hurried forward. "I won't let my parents down this time. I'm sure a scholar will come back, at least I can honor my ancestors."

"Let's go, I don't know if there is any room in the inn in Yanlai City. If you go late, you should sleep on the street again." A scholar wearing a square scarf kept walking forward.

"I heard that there are students from Bailu Academy among the candidates this time, and I don't know how knowledgeable they are." A lean scholar said curiously.

"I heard that Bailu Academy has a wide range of teaching methods. They teach almost all of etiquette, volley, and morality, and there are many things in it that we haven't heard before." Someone sighed.

"Hey~ As long as our knowledge is true, I believe that I will definitely enter the red list." A student shook his head and said with a rather smug expression.

Qu You grinned a little funny when he heard that, the people of Bailu Academy are so scary now, why are they talking about the people of Bailu Academy all the way.

"Miss, the pastry shop's business is increasing unabated. Recently, a few big family members who celebrated their birthdays have ordered cakes from our shop." Qianwen walked forward with the account book and reported with a smile on his face.

"Oh~ how many tickets have been issued for the VIP membership?" Qu You sat on the chair and picked up the teacup on the table.

"The effect of membership card processing is also very good. I have processed more than 150 cards." Qianwen said with some pride.

"Thank you for your hard work. Everyone will be rewarded with 1 tael of silver." After drinking all the tea, Qu You put down the teacup.

"Thank you, Miss." Everyone in the room knelt down at this moment.

"Miss, I heard that the Brocade Pavilion is going to be transferred, should we buy it here?" Xianghan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"Why do you want to transfer?" Qu You didn't dare to be rash, she asked cautiously.

"I heard that Zhijinxuan bought a batch of goods a few days ago, but it was flooded when passing through Suyang. Not only did not make a lot of money, but even the capital was lost. The boss of Zhijinxuan was hit. He fell ill and passed away within a few days." Xianghan described the rumors he heard.

"Let's go, go and have a look." Qu You glanced at Xianghan, got up and walked outside.

Zhijinxuan is not far from Quji Bakery, and a few people just turned around and arrived.At this time, Qu You looked up, the plaque was still the same plaque, but something was different.She raised her hand and knocked on the door, "Is there anyone else in the room?"

"Miss Qu, it's you..." The boy who opened the door still remembered Qu You.

"The shopkeeper is here." Qu You nodded to him politely, admiring his good memory.

"Now I am the shopkeeper." The man smiled sadly.

"Shopkeeper, my lady wants to buy this store." Qianwen stepped forward and said.

"Ms. Qu also wants to open an embroidery workshop. If not, I won't sell this shop." The assistant looked at Qu You and his party firmly.

"Yes, I also want to open an embroidery workshop. Are you interested in staying and being my shopkeeper?" Qu You felt that this guy must be a talent, just because of his never-forgotten eyes, this guy is worthy of her keeping .

"I, can I?" The man's eyes widened, and he looked at Qu You in disbelief.

"Yes." Qu You nodded with a kind face.

"Thank you, Miss Qu, thank you, my boss." The man knelt down and kowtowed vigorously.The heavens have eyes, the master's shop has finally been saved, and the embroidery workshop is still operating here.

"Get up first, let's talk about the price." Qu You looked at Qianwen, motioning for him to help the guy up.

"My name is Zhang Chunwen. I am the adopted son of shopkeeper Chen. I grew up in the brocade pavilion. Before he died, my adoptive father told the slaves that as long as someone continues to open an embroidery workshop in this position, the embroidery workshop can be developed. If you hire slaves, Just give her the Brocade Pavilion, without any silver." Zhang Chunwen sat on a chair, sobbing while talking.

Free, no money?Qu You's face was full of surprise, he didn't expect his small kindness to get such a big harvest, it seems that he has to be a good person.

"Thank you shopkeeper Chen, thank you Mr. Zhang." Qu You bowed to Zhang Chunwen respectfully.

Seeing Qu You's benevolence and righteousness, Zhang Chunwen hurriedly got up and wiped away his tears, and both parties signed and signed.After paying the flower tax at the Yanlai County Yamen, Zhang Chunwen handed over the key with both hands, and the shop belonged to her.

After everything was done, Qu You asked people to move all the disfigured cloths that had been soaked in water to the backyard.He also ordered Dongzi to find Foreman Zhu to decorate the shop.

After the construction of three factories and an academy, Foreman Zhu is still very happy to do Qu You's work, no, as soon as he heard that Qu You was looking for him, he immediately brought the engineering team here.

"Here, here, and here, help me change it into a VIP room, and put a few wooden shelves here..." After Qu You explained the blueprint to Foreman Zhu in detail, he gave a few more instructions and then left it alone up.

Foreman Zhu took a ruler around to check the progress of the project.The decoration this time is very simple, there is not much work, it should be done in two or three days.Qu You nodded, left the money for the materials and went to Qinghe Village.

"Mother, how are these embroiderers?" Qu You was the first to go to Wang's room after returning home.

"The hands of these little girls are very delicate. Just look at how beautifully these patterns are embroidered. They are so vivid that you can't tell that they are embroidered at all." Mrs. Wang gently unfolded the finished products in front of Qu You.

Yo~ It's really true, the craftsmanship is really amazing.Qu You touched the embroidery on the silk with his hands, and exclaimed in his heart, no.

"Mother, Jinxiufang will open in three days, and you will have to work hard these few days." Qu You suddenly stepped forward and hugged Wang Shi emotionally.

"Silly girl, I'm your mother..." Wang Qiuyun patted Qu You lightly, feeling extremely happy to be able to help her daughter.

After Mrs. Wang finished speaking with her daughter, she conducted surprise training for these dozens of embroiderers. After confirming that their skills had passed the test, it was time for the opening of Jinxiufang.
