Chapter 107 Seeing Business Opportunities Again
For making money, every second counts. Before the tools were in place, Gu Qingyou asked Zhang Yong to conduct an overall training for the boy who was afraid of running errands. No matter in terms of attitude or appearance, he must leave the best impression on the guests.

Xue Lan took Gu Qingyou out to check the locations of several post stations in person, and then made adjustments in due course.

Dajin deserves to be the richest big brother among the surrounding countries, and the prosperity of the capital might not be inferior to that of Tang Dynasty.

They are located in the center of the largest rouge and gouache shops in Shanghai. On the road, there are fragrant cars and clouds on the temples, colorful and colorful, and they are already dazzled just by looking at the beauties.

Gu Qingyou observed carefully, and found that the shops in the whole street were of different sizes, and the products were of different grades. The customer groups ranged from princes and nobles to ordinary people.

I was overwhelmed to watch, when I suddenly saw a shop selling porcelain and dishes in the middle of several cosmetic shops.

The clerk in the store was leaning on the door frame and yawning boredly. There was a lot of traffic on the road, but no one stopped in front of him.

After yelling a few times as a matter of routine, he was no stranger to the scene where no one was interested. The clerk took a towel and wiped the floating ash from a few samples placed in front of the door, and walked back to the store.

Although it is very bad behavior to laugh at others, Gu Qingyou still wants to say, selling dishes among a bunch of fragrant beauties, is this boss out of his mind?

She tugged at Xue Lan's sleeve, and whispered: "Look, mom, is the boss out of his mind? It's no wonder the business can get better with a porcelain shop here!"

There were three black lines on Xue Lan's forehead: "This shop belongs to our family."

Gu Qingyou: Beautiful!

You don't need to think about it to know that it was written by Xue's family, and it's hard for this store to survive for many years, and it hasn't closed down until now.

But for a store of this size, and located in a bustling commercial center, if it doesn't make money, it's already a loss.

The most urgent task at the moment is to change his face and replace it with other profitable livelihoods.

The cold winter can't dampen girls' enthusiasm for shopping, Gu Qingyou has a hand stove in his sleeve, and wears a thick fox fur cape, the tip of his nose is still red from the cold.

But he couldn't hold back the hustle and bustle of the commercial street. After shopping for half an hour, his feet were sore, and he still couldn't get enough.

Looking at at least half of the street in front of him, Gu Qingyou got into the carriage to take a rest, and said with emotion: "I really miss the days when I went shopping with my little sisters, each with a cup of big milk tea and a serving of stinky tofu, when will we be able to leave?" When I’m tired, I’ll find some Malatang to eat... Alas, unfortunately there’s no more.”

Shuangjiang hadn't heard what she said about the food, but guessed that it was when she was in her boudoir, and comforted her: "Young Madam, don't be sad. Wherever you want to go in the future, you can call your slaves to go with you. How long have you been shopping?"

After coming out for a long time, Xue Lan also felt a little thirsty. She drank the tea prepared in the carriage and said with a smile: "I never understood you before. What's so good about milk tea if it's sweet or sticky? Now thinking about the taste, I feel It’s not too hard to swallow.”

But as Youyou said, the seemingly inconspicuous moment before, now it has become an extravagant hope to experience it again, and I can't help but feel a little sentimental.

Seeing that the two of them suddenly looked listless, Shuang Jiang changed the topic and said, "Young Madam, what kind of tea is the milk tea you mentioned just now? This is the first time I have heard of it!"

"As the name suggests, milk tea is tea made from milk. In fact, the process is very simple. I will make it for you to try when I return home."

Recalling the memory, Gu Qingyou suddenly had an idea, this commercial center is not too close to the residential area, like some rich family's female relatives, they basically have to take a carriage when they come here, the advantage is that they can get in the carriage to rest at any time, but Congestion often occurs on narrow streets.

Women from ordinary families usually walk here in groups of three or four. If they get tired and thirsty after walking, drinking water will become a problem.

But if you open a milk tea shop, these situations can be largely avoided, not only to ease the traffic, but also to provide a resting place for shoppers.

Xue Lan doesn't know much about all kinds of weird drinks, and the tastes and habits of the ancients may not be the same as those of the modern ones, so she is a little uncertain.

Gu Qingyou said: "Most girls have no resistance to sweet things, and there is a lot of traffic here, one out of ten people is willing to come in and have a taste, so they probably won't be too busy."

Xue Lan nodded: "Anyway, it's definitely better than selling porcelain. It's not profitable to control this shop, so you can just watch and fiddle with it yourself."

Gu Qingyou nodded confidently: "When I go back, I'll make some milk teas that I can remember first, and then let the little girls in the mansion taste them. As long as I pass the test with them, I won't worry about selling them."

In just a few days, there were two good investment projects, and the two mothers were in a good mood, and they were going to bring some boxes of rouge back to the family members of the mansion.

Shuang Jiang pointed to a makeup shop not far away and said, "Madam, young lady, look quickly, there are so many people in that shop, let's go and have a look?"

There is no woman who does not love beauty. Shuang Jiang grew up in a poor family, and had never used these things before coming to the Duke's mansion, so she was particularly interested.

Xue Lan looked in the direction she pointed, and said with a smile, "You have a good eye. That's Zhiyunzhai, the most famous powder shop in Shangjing. The rouge made in it is elegant and pleasant, no matter the color or the fragrance, and it's very popular."

It's just because the business is so good that you often have to make reservations for top-notch goods, and you can't buy them if you go directly.

Mrs. Xue liked strong scented powders, so she seldom went there to buy things. Xue Lan just wanted to replace all the balms and powders in the dowry, so she walked over to see if she could buy something she liked.

If it's not that the business is good, before entering the door, there is already a waiter inside who warmly greets and inquires.

Seeing that the logo of Ningguo Duke's Mansion was on their car, after saluting politely, he led them directly to the private room.

There were all kinds of tea and snacks in the private room, Gu Qingyou picked up a plate and stuffed it for Shuang Jiang, but Shuang Jiang refused to take it at first, but when the waiter said it was free, she happily took the plate and ate it slowly.

Gu Qingyou was drinking tea with his mother. Not long after, a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper entered the door, and said respectfully: "I don't know if Mrs. Guogong is here, and I am far away from you. Madam wants to see something, so I will choose someone Send some good ones over."

"I don't come here often, so you can pick up some useful powders and introduce me to them."

Gu Qingyou doesn't like makeup, not to mention that she is only eighteen or nineteen now, and it is the time when she is in her best state without makeup. Taking advantage of Xue Lan's slow selection, she lifts the curtain and walks to the lobby outside, looking at the various colors displayed on the counter with great interest. Bottles and cans.

The packaging here is mostly made of cloisonné enamel, with excellent workmanship and elegant colors. Of course, the price is also high, which can be seen from the dress of customers entering the store.
