Chapter 114 Opening (a new update)
The people in the shop should preferably be literate.It's a pity that there were very few people who could afford to read and write in ancient times, Xiao Jinyue had no choice but to take a step back and choose those who were clever and good-natured.

The second steward had been in charge of the house's purchases before, and dealt with outsiders a lot on a daily basis. Xiao Jinyue planned to let him be the shopkeeper, but it was a headache to choose the accountant.

Almost none of the soldiers who retired from the battlefield had any experience in account management. Just when Xiao Jinyue was going to find Ren Yazi to ask if there was any suitable candidate, Xiao Pingyuan sent her a man.

That was Xiao Pingyuan's personal guard, surnamed Yang.Although he was nearly sixty years old, his body was still upright. Because his legs and feet were injured in the battlefield before, he walked with a slight limp, but when he was standing still, it was almost impossible to see that his legs and feet had been injured.

According to her father, this Uncle Yang had helped him manage food and grass in the army before, and he had some experience in managing accounts. Knowing that she was looking for an accountant, he took the initiative to find Xiao Pingyuan to recommend himself.

Xiao Jinyue would naturally not refuse when manpower was needed.She talked with Uncle Yang for a while, and got a general understanding of the accounting methods of people in this era.I have to say that she is really not used to the bookkeeping method of this era, not to mention complicated, and the efficiency is extremely slow.

Xiao Jinyue could only make a modern accounting method and explain it to Uncle Yang.

Unexpectedly, what Uncle Yang was most interested in was the Arabic numerals written on the ledger, Xiao Jinyue then remembered that people in this era didn't know Arabic numerals yet.

She could only start with Arabic numerals, and when she finished explaining the most common accounting method in modern times, Uncle Yang was already fascinated.

With the staff ready to open the store, Xiao Jinyue began to train them.

Xiao Jinyue emphasized hygiene issues. After all, it is something to be imported, and hygiene must pass the test.

After the store was decorated, the custom-made display cabinets and display racks were also installed. Xiao Jinyue asked the second manager to transport all kinds of candies from the workshop and put them on the display cabinets and display racks one by one.

Then I prepared two large portions of all kinds of candies, one was sent to Nan'an Palace for Princess Minghua, and the other was given by her eldest brother to the son of Duke Zhen.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

Picking an auspicious day, Xiao Jinyue's sugar shop opened.

Early in the morning, Xiao Jinyue and Princess Minghua went to the teahouse opposite the sugar shop one after another. They sat in the private room on the second floor by the window and looked at the front of the sugar shop opposite. The second steward was presiding over the opening ceremony.

"Jinyue, I didn't expect that there would be so many people when our sugar store opened." Princess Minghua climbed by the window, looking at the crowd of heads at the entrance of the sugar store with bright eyes.

Xiao Jinyue was not surprised by this. Three days ago, she asked the second steward to post a notice at the door of the store, stating that the sugar store will open today, and everyone present, including children under ten years old, will be given five lollipops and five candies.

Five days before the opening, no matter what kind of sugar, as long as you buy one catty, you will get eight taels for free, and the more you buy, the more you will get.

I know that there are free candies given away when the sugar store opens, so there are many adults and children here today.

Fortunately, Xiao Jinyue had anticipated this situation, and asked her father today to ask for a lot of manpower to maintain order.

When the time came, the second steward led the well-trained boys and maids, stood at the entrance of the sugar shop wearing the overalls that Xiao Jinyue specially found for the embroidery workshop, uncovered the red silk, lit firecrackers, spoke briefly, and then announced that the sugar shop was officially opened.

The second manager ordered two large baskets of lollipops and candies to be brought to the door of the store, and the two servants were making the children line up to receive them one by one.

"Jinyue, even I really like the lollipops and candies you make. I really don't know how your brain came up with it."

Xiao Jinyue smiled. She didn't expect Princess Minghua to like sweets like children, so she teased her with a smile, "Although those candies are good, don't eat too much, or you will damage your teeth, so don't cry for me."

In fact, Princess Minghua can't be blamed entirely, after all, those candies are not only beautiful in color, but also in shape.

Xiao Jinyue didn't intend to make candies and lollipops at first, but the five-year-old Xiao Nanyi was just in love with sweets, and she overheard her mentioning that she knew that she had eaten white rabbit milk candies, and was amazed that the candies had the shape of rabbits Yes, so Fei insisted on asking her to make some too.

Xiao Jinyue explained to him that the white rabbit toffee is not in the shape of a rabbit, but Xiao Nanyi didn't believe it.In desperation, Xiao Jinyue had no choice but to rack his brains and made some lollipops to coax him.

Xiao Nanyi couldn't put it down when he got the lollipops, especially those in the shape of animals. He treasured them so much that he held them in his hand and looked at them all day long, but he was reluctant to take a bite.

The second manager was surprised when he saw the lollipops in his hand. Knowing that Xiao Jinyue made them, he immediately ran to her and strongly suggested that Xiao Jinyue let the workshop produce these lollipops and sell them in sugar shops.

Xiao Jinyue saw that all the maids and servants in the mansion were interested in those lollipops, so she agreed after thinking about it.

While the shop was still under construction, I went to the workshop to teach the sugar workers how to make lollipops.

Without modern machines, nature can only be made by hand.

Xiao Jinyue did it herself, teaching while making it. One of them, a 15-year-old man named Xiao Hai, was the fastest and best learner, with nimble fingers, and the various animal-shaped lollipops he made were even better than Xiao Jinyue's.

Xiao Jinyue saw that he had a good comprehension ability and the strongest hands-on ability, so he told him all the shapes he could think of, and suggested adding fruit and vegetable juices, and then let him try to make it himself.

Unexpectedly, Xiaohai's hands-on ability is really super strong, but in a few days, he made a lot of candy with different shapes based on her description.

Even Xiao Jinyue was a little surprised looking at those colorful candies. Although they were not as good as the countless candies in the previous life, they were already very good in this era.

Princess Minghua listened to Xiao Jinyue's joke, and instead of being annoyed at all, she was even a little proud, "Not only do I like the candies you made, but even my mother and concubine are full of praise for them.

Not to mention my two little cousins, my mother and concubine sent them some to their house, but they finished eating in half a day. .Knowing that I opened the sugar store, I immediately asked the steward to come and buy it.Here, look, that squat guy in the brown silk shirt over there is the steward of my uncle's house. "

Xiao Jinyue looked out the window at the entrance of the sugar store, and sure enough, she saw a short and fat steward in a brown silk shirt getting out of the carriage and walking towards the entrance of the sugar store.

"Tsk, why is the steward in our mansion moving so slowly, and it took him so long to come." Princess Minghua muttered dissatisfiedly when she saw that the steward of purchasing in her mansion had just rolled over from his horse.

 About the progress of the plot: here is a little spoiler, the progress of the previous part is relatively slow. After the heroine avenges the original owner in these chapters, the relationship between the heroine and the heroine will soon change dramatically. Please be patient and continue to chase. ha.
