The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"It seems that Ma Shisan has done a very good job." Li Fu said, "It has only been a short time, and the matter has been settled. Not bad, he is a talented person. Lao Zhao has done a good job in finding someone this time."

"My dear, I heard that Manager Ma is a fellow villager of Uncle Zhao. The two of them left the village together." Shitou said.

Shitou only heard what Lao Zhao said, and did not ask for details.

When Lao Zhao was the housekeeper of the Li family, he had not yet gone to the house on the farm.

"That's a good relationship, fellow villager, Lao Zhao is a family, family is good." Li Fu said with a smile.

Most of the fellow villagers these days are not so cunning.

It is not popular for fellow villagers to stab each other in the back.

"Is there a letter from the farm?" Li Fu asked.

"Not yet, but now the restaurants here have changed, and it is estimated that Manager Ma's letter will be sent to us soon along with the account book." Shitou said with a smile.

He also knew about business matters. After all, the business of the manor in the past two years was all done by him.

Now, he just stopped doing it.

The account book must be delivered to the young master clearly.

The young master may not look through it, but the people below must deliver it.

Li Fu walked to the door of a restaurant.

"Young master, do you want to come in for dinner? Our restaurant also has cold-mixed eggs. You don't have to queue up at Ke Yue Lou alone in the future." The waiter at the door asked Li Fu attentively.

"Young man, let me ask you, how many restaurants in the East Market have cold-mixed eggs now?" Li Fu asked.

"There should be about five or six." The waiter said, "Young master, if you want to taste it, I suggest you come in now, otherwise, there may be no seats at mealtime."

Li Fu waved his hand.

He just wanted to find out to what extent Ma Shisan promoted the eggs.

Five or six restaurants are not bad.

At least the current output of the workshop can fully supply the needs, and we can expand it in the future.

Li Fu and Shitou continued to wander around.

"Shitou, the egg-changing business in the manor is now up and running, and with the workshop, it is on the right track." Li Fu said, "But this is far from enough to expand the source of income."

Shitou nodded after hearing this.

Business is good, but there is no money.

It is also magical.

But then again, even if my husband spends money, he spends it on useful places, and he wants to make money with money.

My husband also said that we can't learn from those wealthy families who pile up money in the warehouse, the copper coins are rusted, and the ropes that string the copper coins are rotten, but they don't take them out to spend.

If you can't spend it, it's no different from a pile of copper.

"Have you come up with a new idea, my husband?" Shitou asked.

"Yes." Li Fu said with a smile, "A huge profit."

"Is there such a good thing?" Shitou asked.

"Of course, you have seen it."

Shitou heard this and began to think about what he had seen.

He had seen a lot of things, but he had not seen a lot either, but when it comes to a huge profit, he really couldn't think of anything for a while.

Highway robbery?

That's really a huge profit. A few people, a few knives, find a trade route, do a job, and that's a huge profit.

"Buy a shop in the East Market." Li Fu said.

He now has a status, a backer, and a backer. He doesn't need to form a partnership with others to do business in Chang'an City.

He hasn't made much money yet. He doesn't even have enough to spend at home. How can he have time to help others make money?

In this day and age, he, a landlord, doesn't even have surplus food.

"Let's go around today and have a look. Let Ma Shisan come here to talk to the shopkeeper." Li Fu said, "After the shop is bought, we will start a new business."

"My dear." Shitou looked at Li Fu, "I haven't thought of any business that will make a lot of money."

Obviously, he is not trying to be a strong man, otherwise why would he buy this shop?

To be a strong man, you don't need to invest so much.

"How about the furniture in our house?" Li Fu asked.

Shitou suddenly realized.

My dear wanted to find a few carpenters to make furniture.

In fact, the tricks inside are not as simple as Shitou thought. Li Fu wants to open a furniture factory, recruit a group of people who can do carpentry work, make furniture in the furniture factory, sell finished products in the shop, but also accept high-end customization.

After all, rich people are different from ordinary people. They have big houses and big businesses.

In addition, the rich are also particular about the use of labor and materials.

So, this thing is profitable.

Earlier, Li Yuan and Li Xiaogong went to the manor on theWhen they were in the house, they found the furniture in the house very novel and thought it was quite good.

But at that time, Li Fu had no time to care whether they thought the furniture was good or not?

Now that he has freed up his hands, Li Fu plans to start a furniture business.

First, he will send a set to Li Yuan and Li Shimin.

When Li Yuan's old friends come to him for a drink and chat, they will definitely ask.

Now, won't the nobles in Chang'an know about it?

Is there any need to work hard to promote it?

And there is Li Shimin.

What did they gain by sending out two sets of furniture? It is fame.

What they saved is advertising fees.

Although there is no such thing as advertising fees these days, doesn't it cost money to hire people to go around?

All this is saved.

And it is a small amount of money to do a big thing.

"My dear, are you going to sell our furniture?" Shitou asked.

"Build a workshop and hire a group of carpenters." Li Fu said: "While selling finished products, we can also accept custom orders. According to the different rooms of each house, we can customize different furniture and furnishings. This is the most profitable place. As long as this business is popular, how much is the wood worth? But how much the furniture sells for, isn't it up to us to decide the price?"

Shitou nodded, that's true.

There are no tables, chairs, benches, or beds in the Tang Dynasty now.

Even when they are working on the project, most people sit on the floor with a backrest to lean on, and the floor is covered with woven couches.

When entering the house, take off your boots at the door and enter the house wearing only "socks".

Those with athlete's foot are embarrassed to serve as officials in the court...

People in the Tang Dynasty sleep on couches at night, and this thing was also learned by the neighbor, who made tatami.

Later, there were beds and kangs, but the neighbor was still sleeping on tatami.

But Li Fu couldn't do it. He was not used to sleeping on a couch and always felt uncomfortable. Therefore, he specially drew a blueprint and found a carpenter to build a bed for himself.

At the beginning, he had to explain to the carpenter for a long time before he could understand what it was.

Now Li Fu has made much progress in drawing.
