Three points are destined, seven points depend on face

"Where are we?"

"Star Observation Tower."

The Star Observation Tower is located in the center of Rongcheng and has a total of six floors. This six-story building is taller than our modern ten-story buildings. This place is not usually open to the public. It is only open to some dignitaries during sacrifices or important festivals.

Xia Chuntao looked around and asked weakly: "So, now we..."

"On the eaves of the top floor."

Xia Chuntao:......

Just kill me! Would you please kill me to cheer up your old man?

Her whole body was trembling, and she rubbed herself hard against Ling Qingxuan. She didn't know what Ling Qingxuan was thinking at this time. She didn't have any ideas at all. She just wanted to go down and be a down-to-earth person on the plains.

Ling Qingxuan hugged the trembling Xia Chuntao and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you shaking so hard? Are you cold?"

Xia Chuntao trembled and said: "I, I, I... feel dizzy. Go down, go down... go down."

Only then did Ling Qingxuan realize that her face was pale, "Are you scared?"

"Who, who, who... who is scared? Me, me, me... I'm just dizzy."

"I'm here, don't be afraid."

After finishing speaking, Ling Qingxuan carried her and flew into the observation deck on the top floor, gently put her down and smoothed her slightly messy hair.

It feels so good to be down to earth!

Xia Chuntao felt relieved and had time to take a good look at the night view.

In the dark night sky ahead, the stars and lights complement each other, like the golden and silver threads left by the Weaver Girl in the human world. It is so beautiful!

"Do you like it here?"

"Yeah! It's so beautiful. This is the most beautiful starry sky I have ever seen!" Xia Chuntao turned to look at Ling Qingxuan, "Thank you for allowing me to have such a beautiful night."

Although they don’t know what the future holds, this moment is shared by the two of them. Sharing such beautiful memories with the one you love is also a great blessing in life!

How many years will she be here?

Two years? Twenty years? Or a lifetime?

How long was her relationship with him?

Two years? Twenty years? Or a lifetime?

She couldn't be sure of anything.

I'm afraid, only the starry sky and lights are lasting, and only the shared memories are lasting.

She smiled and said to Ling Qingxuan: "Your Majesty, let's make an agreement!"

"what?"

"When we get old, we can come here to watch the stars again, okay?"

"Why do you have to wait until you are old to come here? If you like, I can take you here anytime."

Xia Chuntao lowered her head and said, "I just want to know if this place will still be as beautiful as it is today in a few decades."

Ling Qingxuan stared at her deeply. She only dared to look into his eyes when he was lying.

For a long time, he stroked her soft cheek.

"it is good."

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xia Chuntao went to "Jinshiju" and "Juhaowu" to check the account books during the festival.

"Jinshiju" has made a lot of money selling egg yolk lotus paste mooncakes and fresh meat mooncakes.

More than 800 mooncake gift boxes were sold. Excluding the cost of ingredients and the gift box itself, each box made a net profit of one tael. The income from the gift box alone was more than 1,000 taels, and the simple-packed mooncakes earned almost 500 taels. Just selling two kinds of mooncakes made a profit of 1,670 taels, not counting the income of the restaurant itself.

Liu Heng kept feeling pity. If he had prepared a month in advance and started selling mooncakes earlier, he might have been able to double his income!

Xia Chuntao is not in a hurry. What's the pity that everything is in the past? No matter how unfortunate it is, you can’t do it again, right? With such a pity of time, why not think about whether "Jinshiju" can find a new development path in the future?

For example: window selling service?

Put some portable specialty foods for sale in the window, so that customers who can't book a seat or can't afford to book a banquet can also eat the special dishes of "Jinshiju".

We can even provide home-cook service.

Of course, this will only be offered once a month at most, and reservations must be made in advance. The chefs, kitchen utensils, various ingredients, and seasonings all come from "Jinshiju". Of course, the cost is high, but how can it reflect the quality of your own restaurant?

When Liu Heng was told this by his boss, he suddenly became enlightened and hurriedly made plans.

The "Mid-Autumn Shopping Festival" of "Gather Good Things" lasted for four days. The goods piled up in the warehouse are getting less and less. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are basically some sparse and defective goods left. The performance is still quite good. Calculated as a whole, the net profit is not as high as the profit from selling mooncakes, but it is still quite good.

During this Mid-Autumn Festival event, Xia Chuntao put a lot more effort into "gathering good things" than "Jin Shi Ju", but the benefits were not as much as "Jin Shi Ju". It seemed that the gain was not worth the loss.

actually not.

You know, grocery stores are not as profitable as restaurants. The two are not the same industry and are not comparable. It is not easy for a grocery store to clear out so many goods at once.

Everyone was exhausted from this event. In addition to giving everyone overtime wages, Xia Chuntao also decided to give everyone a holiday to let them rest for a few days. In addition, the warehouse is empty, so of course it’s time to restock! This time, Zhao Chunsheng took his boy Zhang Chengzhi to Rongcheng.

Xia Chuntao also quite agreed.

This kid is smart and discerning. The most valuable thing is that he doesn't talk about people's rights and wrongs. He is a child who knows what's wrong and is worth cultivating. Although Zhao Chunsheng is not very young, the past nearly a year has given him tremendous training. Now he can basically stand alone and be a qualified shopkeeper.

Xia Chuntao didn't say anything about Zhao Chunsheng's arrangements.

Selecting people is also the skill and right of the shopkeeper, and Xia Chuntao will not interfere too much. The boss keeps chattering next to him, what else do you want from a shopkeeper? Just do it alone!

Xia Chuntao discussed the future sales plan of vermicelli with shopkeeper Li from Zhenweilou again.

Because now there are other merchants selling vermicelli on the market. Although their vermicelli is not as chewy as Xia Chuntao's, the price is lower than hers, and many people are still willing to buy it and try it.

Xia Chuntao's plan is to reduce prices starting from next month. The original price was 500 Wen per catty, but Xia Chuntao planned to reduce it to 300 Wen per catty. When more merchants sell vermicelli on the market next year, the price will drop further until it reaches a level that the general public can afford.

Shopkeeper Li was a little worried.

Although there will be a big price cut in the short term, it will definitely have a big impact on other merchants who have just entered the market, and their own market position will definitely be the dominant one. But if the price is reduced for a long time, as Xia Chuntao thinks, until it is reduced to a price that ordinary people can afford, then the profit of vermicelli will be too low, which may also cause dissatisfaction from other merchants.

"I understand what you mean. But the actual value of vermicelli lies there. It is not a rare item. It should be an ingredient that ordinary people can afford. We just made it one step ahead of others."

"While there are not many merchants entering the market, we will lower the price first and keep it at a normal level, so that merchants who want to speculate can also weigh whether this market is worth doing."
