Chapter 28

There is a saying that food should be eaten one bite at a time, and the road should be walked step by step.

In the past, Jia Yun had no money, so she could only slowly accumulate capital by selling buns. When she had capital, it would be logical to open a shop.

Opening a shop not only earns a lot more, but also frees you from the complicated work and concentrates on studying, killing two birds with one stone.

Ever since she decided to cook stewed food, Jia Yun deliberately inquired about nearby shops while setting up a stall.

And the reason why he decided to open the store on Ningrong Street was also because this was the territory of the Jia Mansion. Compared with opening stores in other places, there would be less harassment by bureaucrats and hooligans here.

During this period of time, Jia Yun paid special attention to inquiring about the consumption level in the capital.

Generally speaking, a few pennies or a dozen pennies is enough to eat a snack on the street.

If three friends and four friends go to the Fly House to have a meal, the average per capita can be enough to eat for ten or twenty renminbi.

If you go to eat in a restaurant that is a little cleaner and higher grade, the average cost is three to five hundred Wen per person, which is also a normal consumption.

As for buying a table in those big restaurants, it is not affordable for ordinary people, at least it starts with one tael of silver.

Opening a stewed and roasted restaurant, in the eyes of outsiders, is at most just a family support, not very eye-catching.

In fact, it is not expensive to sell a bowl of stewed fire pork for two to three hundred renminbi. If you sell a few hundred bowls a day, you can easily earn dozens of taels of silver every day.

In this way, it is suitable for him to make a fortune silently, earning money without attracting attention.

West end of Ningrong Street.

Seeing from a distance the door of the rice shop Jia Fa mentioned was closed, so Jia Yun pushed the cart and went directly to the house of Qian Yuanwai, the owner of the shop who lived in a nearby alley.

After meeting Yuanwai Qian and explaining his intentions, the two went to the store to check it out.

The store has more than 200 square meters, and the rent is three taels of silver a month, paid every three months.

The price is not too high, but it is not low either.

However, the location of the store is quite good, it is located at a crossroads, the traffic is large, and the area is also suitable, so Jia Yun did not hesitate too much, signed the contract on the spot, paid the money, and got the key from the boss .

The store is in hand, but it cannot be operated yet.

I still need to invite someone to come over for a simple decoration, build a few stoves, and buy some tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans, and so on.

In addition, you need to hire a trustworthy person to help with the operation and one or two waiters to help wash the dishes and serve the dishes.

In this way, Jia Yun will not be busy in the store all day long, but also have time to study and study.

At most, he will only lead the business for a period of time in the early stage, and when the business is on the right track, he can study off-duty.

When they got home, Meiren had already cooked the meal and was waiting for Jia Yun to come back.

"Why did you come back later than usual today?" At the dinner table, Mrs. Bu asked casually.

Jia Yun took a sip of Meiren's side dish and thought it tasted good. She smiled at Meiren standing behind Mrs. Bu, and replied: "I just delayed for a while and ordered the rice shop at the west end of Ningrong Street. down."

Bu's chopsticks paused and remained silent.

Although she was worried that her son would lose money in business, she also knew that when her son grew up and had ideas, as long as he didn't do anything wrong, she wouldn't stop him.

Seeing that her mother was silent, Jia Yun smiled, and was about to persuade the charming woman to sit down for dinner, when she suddenly remembered the rules of this era, so she endured it again.

As the saying goes, do as the Romans do, although Jia Yun is now just a grassroots citizen, not yet qualified to hire servants or servants, but she will not say that everyone is equal.

As for Meiren, in fact, she is still a black householder. If she wants to settle in Jia Yun's house, at least she has to wait until Jia Yun has a reputation as a scholar.

Even those businessmen with huge family fortunes are eligible to hire servants and servants only after they have donated such idle positions as officials.

After breakfast, Jia Yun came to the yard to find Jia Wei who was directing people to work.

"Uncle Wei, please introduce me to a craftsman who can make stoves, and the craftsman must be good!" Jia Yun said with a smile.

Jia Wei asked curiously: "Brother Yun, why are you looking for a stove maker? Your kitchen can't wait a few days before repairing it? Don't be in such a hurry."

Jia Yun's house can only be repaired after Lao Geng's house is repaired, otherwise Jia Yun and the others will not even have a place to live.

"It's not at home, it's at the store. I went to take down the rice store at the west end of Ningrong Street just this morning. It needs some simple renovations. I also need to make a few stoves and buy some tables and benches." Jia Yun Smiling and shaking his head.

Jia Wei said happily: "It's ok, brother Yun, this is getting more and more promising, okay, I'll go back tonight and tell your brother Long to come to your store tomorrow, what do you want to do?" Stove, just tell him directly."

Jia Yun nodded and said, "Then we'll settle this matter. The sooner it is done, the sooner I will open the business."

"Don't worry, I won't miss your business." Jia Wei nodded.

The two were talking when a young man came in carrying a load of firewood.

This person is Jia Yun's little friend, named Jia (bài). This year, he looks like a hunchback, has a simple personality, and is relatively strong. He used to go with Jia Yun to cut firewood outside the city.

Since the current Jia Yun came here, she hasn't cut firewood. The firewood used at home is bought from Jia.

Jia's parents both died of the epidemic when he was five or six years old, and he was raised by the clan.

In Jia Yun's mind, after she has studied, it is best for Jia to run her own store. First, the relationship between the two is good and they both know the basics.

Of course, it would also be good to help Jia increase his income by the way.

But we still have to ask Jia for his opinion on this matter, to see if he intends to do business.

"Brother Yun, I brought you firewood. There are piles of things in your yard, where is the best place to put them?" Jia Man asked profusely, and then greeted Jia Wei: "Uncle Wei is here too?"

Jia Yun smiled and said: "It's my brother, please put all the firewood in the kitchen, as we just ran out of all the firewood at home."

Jia nodded and said with a naive smile, "Okay, I'll put the firewood away first, and I'll tell you when I come out later."

After Jia went to the kitchen, Jia Wei pondered for a moment, then said with a smile, "A few days ago, I heard that my ancestor found a matchmaker to marry my brother's wife. I don't know if it's true."

Jia Yun nodded, and said: "Ninety-nine are not far from ten. When I was out of the stall in the past two days, I heard many people from my tribe talk about this matter."

Jia Wei smiled and said, "I remember my brother is a few years older than you, so it's time to marry a wife."

While talking, Jia came out. Hearing the conversation between the two, he stepped forward with a smile and said, "I was just going to tell you about this. We just made an appointment yesterday, and we will get married next month."

"Congratulations, you are about to start a family!" Jia Yun congratulated Jia Congratulations.

Jia Wei on the side asked curiously, "Brother, where is the girl from?"

"Hehe, from the countryside, from Sanli Village, Lantian County." Jia disturbed his head and replied with a smile.

After the three chatted for a while, Jia Wei went to work again, and Jia Yun called Jia to the kitchen to sit down.

Jia sighed, and said, "Brother Yun, although getting married is a happy event, I can't even eat these days."

Jia Yun wondered, "What's the matter? Did the woman raise some harsh conditions?"

Jia shook his head and said, "That's not true. The woman is easy to talk to. I'm worried that my daughter-in-law will not be able to support her after she enters the house, what should I do?"

"Hehe, I thought what was the matter. It just so happens that you are not coming today, so I have to talk to you about something." Jia Yun laughed.

Then, he opened a shop by himself and told Jia about the need for manpower.

After hearing this, Jia agreed and said happily, "Brother Yun, being able to work with you is a blessing I have cultivated in eight lifetimes, but you also know that I have a big appetite..."

He didn't learn any skills, and he couldn't earn much money just by working hard. Now that Jia Yun wants to take him into business, he is very happy.

Jia Yun interrupted him with a wave of her hand, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that you have a big appetite. When you come to my place to work, you eat with your stomach open. In addition, I will give you a monthly rate of two taels of silver, which is better than cutting firewood outside the city." Earn more."

"Brother Yun, don't give me such a high monthly bill, five hundred Wen is enough." Jia said excitedly.

Jia Yun shook her head and said, "Don't refuse. If you were still alone, I wouldn't give you such a high monthly rate, but aren't you going to get married next month? You can't earn money to support your family?"

"This..." Jia hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head and said, "This is still a little too much. I don't feel at ease when it's too much."

Jia Yun thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you a monthly bill of one or two taels of silver, and that's it."
