[Comprehensive] The number one cannon fodder

After Qiuxiang and Su Xueyun moved together, Su Xueyun started planning to open a shop.They had only one study as their source of income before, so it was too little to support so many people. Moreover, she had to save dowries for her two younger sisters and assets for future children.Fortunately, she has long been experienced in doing business, and she has all the preparations in mind, so she does things in a calm manner.

Su Xueyun took the two of them to look for a suitable shop while observing on the street. Qiuxiang knew the capital very well, and had been introducing Su Xueyun where there were many people, where there were bullies, and so on.Zhu Xiaolian watched Su Xueyun pass by several study rooms, she didn't have any intention of going in to have a look, and couldn't help asking: "Sister-in-law, aren't we opening the study room? Do you want to go and see the business of your colleagues first?"

Su Xueyun smiled and said: "We don't open a study. Your brother used to open a study in Suzhou because he was famous there. Of course there is business in the study related to Suzhou Three Treasures. But in the capital, every shop that can be opened has a door behind it." , and we have already grasped the source of goods and have regular customers. We are new here, and it is easy to lose money if we compete with them for business, and we will offend others if we don’t make money.”

Zhu Xiaolian nodded her head as she was taught, with a face of contemplation, "Then what kind of shop should we open?" Before Su Xueyun could speak, her eyes lit up suddenly, and she said happily, "Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are excellent, otherwise we will open a shop. Let’s go to the restaurant, business must be booming!”

Qiuxiang also looked at Su Xueyun and said with a smile: "Yes, sister, your craftsmanship is really good, even better than pomegranate, which has been called the best shovel in the world before! If you open a restaurant, I think there will be many People like to eat, and then the money will flow in!"

Su Xueyun shook her head with a smile, led them into a makeup shop, slowly looked at the goods inside, and said with a smile: "Although I am very happy to hear you two complimenting me, I don't want to be a cook for the rest of my life. If If I invite other chefs, it has nothing to do with my craftsmanship. What is the difference between it and other restaurants? At most, the recipes I know are a little special, but this is the easiest thing to be stolen. People who know how to eat it a few times can be imitated.”

Qiuxiang subconsciously curled up a lock of hair on her shoulder with her fingers, and thought: "Then what should I do?"

When the two little girls frowned and thought, Su Xueyun had already picked out some of the best rouge powders in the store, and after paying the money, she divided the items between Zhu Xiaolian and Qiuxiang, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go look elsewhere look."

This was the first time they went shopping. The two girls couldn't help being a little curious. They followed Su Xueyun and looked at the things in their hands, and then they both showed joy.

Zhu Xiaolian said: "This rouge is much better than the rouge in Suzhou. There are indeed many good things in the capital."

Qiuxiang opened the box and smelled it, and said with a smile: "It smells so good, of course this rouge is good. The one just now is the best rouge shop in the capital. I saw that Madam used this kind of rouge, and Madam liked it very much. But sister, this It's very expensive, isn't it too wasteful for you to buy so many for us?"

Zhu Xiaolian quickly put away the rouge when she heard it, fearing that it would be accidentally lost, she said in a tangled manner: "Sister-in-law, why don't we take it back and return it, I can use the kind of rouge from the stall, it doesn't need to be so expensive .”

Qiuxiang nodded again and again, "Yes, sister, you don't have to buy me such a good thing."

Su Xueyun patted their hands reassuringly, and said with a smile: "Just use it, you two, don't think too much, even if our girls don't use the best one now, they will use the best one in the future, don't worry about money. , Sister-in-law has a solution."

Then Su Xueyun led them to gold shops and clothing stores, and bought them a lot of things. In the end, the two of them didn't care about opening any shops at all, and only cared about money.After arriving home, Su Xueyun drank a cup of tea, and seeing that they still looked distressed, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Didn't you say that you want to see the situation of your peers? I bought these things to know myself and the enemy. Let's use it first to know how they are." Where is the good stuff?"

Qiuxiang was surprised: "Sister, you want to open a shop to sell rouge, jewelry and clothes?"

Su Xueyun nodded, and Zhu Xiaolian immediately said in a hurry: "Sister-in-law, how do we understand these things? Don't you have to lose money to open a shop? Also, you said before that we should not compete with others when we are newcomers, so if we sell these Getting into trouble?"

Su Xueyun called the two of them to sit down, and explained to them carefully, "The study is usually used by scholars. In Suzhou, we can borrow Zhishan's reputation, but if we do it in the capital, people will despise it, and the study Our clients are scholars, and most of them are high-minded people. They may not be willing to patronize our business, and we will offend other people in the study. But women's business is different. Although women will patronize more familiar shops, women The most important thing is whether the things are good or not. As long as our things are good, they will definitely come. If anyone wants to trouble us at that time, those officials and wives will be the first to disagree. And women’s money is the best, as long as we let They think that buying our products will make them more beautiful, so they will readily pay for it. As for the formula of rouge powder, I just know a little bit, so opening a shop is not a problem."

Qiuxiang said thoughtfully: "Sister, what you said is very reasonable. The shops that Madam likes cost a lot of money every month. And we can ask Madam to help us open such a shop. Madam Now, no one would dare to trouble us.”

Su Xueyun nodded with a smile, "Not only that, Madam Grand Master can also bring us many guests, who would dare to say that it is not good for the things that Madam Grand Master buys, if there is a chance, the concubines in the palace can use our As for the goods, even if we have a firm foothold in the capital, we will not be easily shaken by others."

Zhu Xiaolian looked at Su Xueyun with bright eyes, and said with a smile: "It turns out my sister-in-law has already planned it. I don't understand these things, but I can help. Sister-in-law, tell me what to do, and I will just follow your orders."

Su Xueyun smiled and said: "Of course you two have to help. Not only must you work diligently, but you must also learn to manage the shop diligently. When you get married in the future, I will choose a few of your favorite shops as dowry for you."

Hearing about the marriage, Zhu Xiaolian and Qiuxiang looked at each other, a little shy, but their eyes were also full of joy, glad that Su Xueyun planned for them like this, and really cared about them.

Chen Xiaosheng walked in from the door, saw them and asked: "What are you talking about, so happy?"

Su Xueyun poured him a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "I'm talking about opening a shop, I've already chosen a location, let's go and have a look together some other day."

"Okay, you can decide these things, I don't understand you anyway." Chen Xiaosheng smiled, and sat beside her to drink tea.

Zhou Wenbin followed him into the door, glanced at the table, and said in surprise, "You bought so many things today? Is today a special day? Whose birthday is it?"

Zhu Xiaolian said while packing her jewelry, "Do you have to buy things on special days? We don't have these things, of course we bought them."

"Really?" Zhou Wenbin looked at the rouge powder and then at Zhu Xiaolian's face, puzzled, "But you don't seem to use these things usually, I thought you didn't like them."

Zhu Xiaolian snorted softly, and said: "I don't use it, it doesn't mean I don't like it, and the things I use don't mean I like it. You are still a genius, and you don't even understand this truth. Do you like the things you use? "

"... Oh." Zhou Wenbin sat down and poured tea in silence, feeling that he should know that silence is golden at this time.

But Zhu Xiaolian frowned when she saw that he did not speak again, "What are you 'oh'? We have known each other for so long, you don't even know our birthday!"

Zhou Wenbin asked subconsciously, "Then do you know my birthday?"

"You!" Zhu Xiaolian choked for a moment, picked up her things, got up and said, "I don't care about you, I'm going to cook!"

Qiuxiang suppressed a smile and got up and said, "I'll help Xiaolian, sister, you can talk slowly."

After they left, Zhou Wenbin asked with a dazed expression, "Did I say something wrong again? Why is Xiaolian angry again?"

Chen Xiaosheng patted him on the shoulder helplessly, and sighed: "You didn't say something wrong, you are a piece of wood, well, you can reflect on yourself here slowly, I will go back to my room and change my clothes."

Su Xueyun stood up, and kindly reminded her before leaving, "When the girls say something, you just need to go along with it. Sometimes it's just casual talk, don't be so serious. When you meet a girl you like in the future, don't do that." Wood."

Zhou Wenbin watched the couple go away talking and laughing, and he admired Chen Xiaosheng very much in his heart. Even a woman as powerful as Su Xueyun was coaxed happily by Chen Xiaosheng, no wonder his life was so good.Zhou Wenbin lowered his head and thought about what they said. He seemed to understand something, but it seemed that there was a layer of fog that made him unclear.After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Wenbin decided not to think about it, the most important thing is to let Zhu Xiaolian calm down.

So Zhou Wenbin went to the kitchen and saw that only Zhu Xiaolian was chopping vegetables, so he hurried over and rolled up his sleeves and said, "Come on, chopping vegetables is very hard. Although I don't cook well, I can chop vegetables." of."

Zhu Xiaolian kept moving and said without raising her head: "What are you doing here? You have finally won the appreciation of the grand master, and the scientific examination is promising. You should study hard. Don't wait a while and say that I delay your review."

Zhou Wenbin hurriedly said: "How could it be? I can't say such a thing. I like to help you do things."

The corners of Zhu Xiaolian's mouth curved almost invisibly, and she pretended to be cold and handed the kitchen knife to Zhou Wenbin, "Hey, I'll cut it for you, and I'll make the dough."

"Oh, okay, you knead the dough first, and I'll knead the dough later, that's also very laborious." Zhou Wenbin reached out to pick up the kitchen knife, and accidentally touched Zhu Xiaolian's hand, and he was stunned by the delicate and smooth skin .

Zhu Xiaolian immediately withdrew her hand and turned around, even her ears were red!
