Chapter 116 Shop
For the next two days, Bai Susu paid attention to the refining of sugar, whether she moved these things and spread them apart, and the scattered sugar grains were refined out one by one.

Xiao Jingyu, who came to the mansion as promised, was still shocked when he saw Bai Susu's sugar that was nearly half a crock, "You really refined this sugar?"

"That's right." Bai Susu dug a spoonful with a spoon and handed it to Xiao Jingyu, "The color of this candy is also correct, with distinct grains, do you think it's feasible?"

"It's very feasible." Xiao Jingyu picked up a little bit of sugar and tasted it, his eyes sparkled, "It's really the best white sugar."

Zhou Ximing has been coming this way for the past two days, and he knows every step of Bai Susu. When he saw Xiao Jingyu smiling with a crock in his arms, he had already walked in front of Bai Susu.

"Your method of making sugar is really good. First, it won't damage the food. Second, you don't need too much sugarcane, and there are many things like beetroot, so don't worry about not having enough."

"Yes, yes, I have planted more than ten acres of beets in my home. These beets are meant to be thrown away. I will give them to you at that time, and I will definitely be able to refine a lot of sugar." Xiao Jingyu felt that this was killing two birds with one stone. Things, said quickly.

"Now that the candy matter is settled, the next step is to count the shops." Bai Susu looked at Xiao Jingyu, "I haven't asked you yet, where is the shop you chose?"

"I have three vacant shops in my hand, two are in the East Market and one is in the West Market. I just don't know which one you should choose."

Bai Susu thought for a while, and then asked, "What do most of the East Market and West Market sell? Who are they going to?"

"East Market is the place where we went to restaurants last time. There are rouge gouache and refreshment restaurants. Most of them are high-ranking officials and dignitaries. In West Market, there are many tile shops. There are many snacks and reasonable prices. People like to go." Xiao Jingyu observed the streets and markets in the capital very carefully, and observed them carefully.

"Then let's go to the West Market." Bai Susu looked at Xiao Jingyu, showing a faint smile, "The price of sugar has dropped, so naturally the price of dim sum doesn't need to be set too high."

Her choice was unexpected by Xiao Jingyu, who thought she would put a wealthy family on the front of her shop.

"Why don't you choose Dongshi? There are more nobles there."

"I went to Yipinsu two days ago to have a look. The dim sum there is good, and the elegant style is very popular with literati and nobles. He was there before, and I can't find any benefits when I do business there. Why don't you find another way Sell ​​it to the people of the capital."

Xiao Jingyu immediately understood why Bai Susu had to make candy by herself before. She wanted to lower the price to the point where the common people could afford it.

"You have a good idea."

"It's called small profits but quick turnover." Bai Susu looked at the still early sky, "Why don't you go to Xishi today to have a look at the shop, I'll make preparations early."

"Okay." Xiao Jingyu looked at Zhou Ximing who was standing there listening all the time, knocked on him with the fan in his hand, and joked, "I don't know if you have something to do today, come with us?"

"Naturally." Zhou Ximing looked at Xiao Jingyu, with no obvious clues on his face, "I have nothing to do today."

Xiao Jingyu knew that he had nothing to do here, he was just risking his life to accompany a gentleman.His young playmate is still so screwy.

"Let's go."

The three of them left the palace and headed towards the West Market. Standing in the crowd, they always looked a little out of place.

Most of the people here wear short-sleeved short shirts and green clothes and linen for the convenience of work.People in the West Market didn't find it strange to see such a noble person coming.

There are always a few noble people who want to come here to try something new, but the others don't care, and they all do their own things.Bai Susu walked from one end of the West Market to the other, and except for two drinks shops, she never saw a shop selling dim sum.

Bai Susu walked to a drink shop, ordered a bowl of jujube and corn tea, and casually asked, "Why isn't there a shop selling dim sum here?"

"Listen to the girl's accent, isn't she a local?" The tea seller smiled, "If you want to eat cakes, go to Dongshi in the east. They sell them there, but not here."

"Why?"

"There used to be a few shops here, but the dim sum is too expensive, and most of the people who come here can't afford it. They lost money, and no one came here to sell it again." The voice of the lady selling tea was soft, Turn around and go to the work in hand.

What she said was the same as what Bai Susu had thought before. She looked at the prices of these teas, and had a little understanding of the prices of dim sum.

"I've asked you clearly." Zhou Ximing looked at Bai Susu who was walking over, "The cheapest tea here can be sold for two copper coins a bowl, are you sure your dim sum is okay?"

"You can't compare it with tea, you have to compare it with sesame seed buns." Bai Susu looked at him, "A meat bun costs four copper coins, and I sell red bean cakes for five copper coins, which is almost enough."

One red bean cake can have a profit of one copper plate. Thinking about it this way, it is also possible to earn dozens of copper coins every day.

While talking and walking, Bai Susu saw the shop Xiao Jingyu mentioned, she paused, looked at this two-story shop, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that it was out of place with the surrounding shops.

She turned to look at Xiao Jingyu with doubts in her eyes, "Who built this shop?"

"It's me." Xiao Jingyu looked at Bai Susu with a smile, "Are you wondering why I built it like this?"

"En." Bai Susu nodded slowly.

"Because I had the same idea as you before. It's a pity that after thinking about it, this matter was left behind. I thought this shop would always be empty." Xiao Jingyu looked in front of him and never used it once. shop, with a sigh in his eyes.

"Anyway, let's go in and take a look first." Bai Susu lifted her skirt and walked up, and when she opened the door, a cloud of dust came out from inside, making Bai Susu couldn't help but take a step back.

She turned her head to look at Xiao Jingyu, with an indescribable expression on her face, "How long has your shop been idle?"

"It's been almost two or three years." Xiao Jingyu had expected it a long time ago, he took out three pieces of white cloth from his sleeves, and handed them to the two people beside him, "Tie them in and that's it."

Bai Susu took it slowly, covered her nose, and walked in.

There are counters, tables and other facilities inside, and there is a kitchen at the back, which is obviously set up according to the standards of restaurants. If you change it to dim sum, it will not take much trouble at all.

Walking to the second floor, the upper part has been divided into private sitting and private room, half lively and half clean.

Downstairs there are only four or five tables for tasting, and a table can seat more than a dozen people, which is very suitable.
