Traveling across the heavens starting from the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 70 Mi Xianfang’s ability to make money is pretty good
Wait for Li Shimin, the most distinguished couple in the Tang Dynasty, to leave.

Li Lizhi and Li Ruoqiu started busy with the opening of 'Mixianfang'.

Open today.

The two of them will definitely have a lot going on.

It wasn't until all the pastries prepared for the opening of 'Mixianfang' were sold out that the whole shop became completely clean, and the female clerks in the shop were already tired and sat down to rest.

"Your Majesty, drink tea."

The maid Taohua finished her work in front of the shop and returned to the second floor to serve Li Huaian attentively.

Li Huaian took the teacup, glanced at Li Lizhi and Li Ruoqiu, who were concentrating on their accounts at the table next to them, and asked Taohua, the maid next to him.

"Everyone is very busy today. In addition to the happy gift for opening the business, I will also give a reward to the female clerks in the shop."

Hearing this, the maid Taohua quickly dissuaded her.

"Mr. Lang, there is no need to give any more reward money. Although the female clerks in the capital do not get paid, the government will still give them monthly money. Plus the occasional reward from the government, it is already more than the starting salary."

"It's opening today. There's no need for Mr. Lang to give me any more rewards."

"Besides, this is what we, the maids in the palace, should do. How can we always think about receiving rewards? If this happens for a long time, they will become lazy, which is not conducive to diligence."

A whole bunch of theories.

Li Huaian was stunned for a moment, as if he was in the capital society of the main world.

"I have to say, Taohua, you are a better capitalist than me."

"capitalist?"

The maid Taohua was a little puzzled. She didn't quite understand what capitalist meant, but she knew one thing. Only Lang Jun could be the capitalist he mentioned.

"Lang Jun, Taohua cannot be a capitalist, Lang Jun is."

Li Huaian was speechless and choked. He stretched out his hand and slapped Taohua, the maidservant, with a crisp sound.

"Your husband is not a capitalist, and you have to say, since the maids in the house work so hard and don't get paid, but they are rewarded, how can the husband be stingy?"

"Go ahead, it's really hard today, and you deserve an extra reward."

"Well, I'll thank you Sir for them."

Seeing Li Huaian's insistence, slave Taohua had no choice but to leave the room and go downstairs to tell the news to the female guys working in the 'Mixianfang'.

then.

Li Huaian came to Li Lizhi and Li Ruoqiu amidst cheers downstairs, lowered his head and asked: "How is the income of 'Mi Xianfang' today?"

"Mr. Lang is not bad. He made a profit of [-] guan today. When the business of 'Mixianfang' stabilizes in the next few days, he should make around [-] guan every day."

Li Ruoqiu didn't have much feeling about the income of 'Mixianfang' today. After experiencing the baptism of 'Liu Li Pavilion', her daily income of [-] yuan was no longer taken seriously by her.

But Li Lizhi is different.

"Brother Huai'an, I didn't expect this 'Mixianfang' to make so much money just by selling pastries."

Earn ten thousand silver coins in one day.

Wait until this excitement wears off.

'Mi Xianfang' becomes a daily routine, and you can have three thousand silver coins on that day.

For Li Lizhi, who had only saved a few hundred coins in a few years, this was already a huge sum.

Hearing this number, Li Huaian was quite satisfied.

"It's not bad. It seems that the pastry shop you two opened is quite successful. The money earned is enough for you to use as pocket money."

"Ah, just pocket money?"

Li Lizhi couldn't believe it.

"if not."

Li Huaian asked back, ten thousand guan of silver a day might be a lot to others, but to him, it was just the same thing, not to mention that the 'Mixianfang' would only receive [-] guan of silver every day.

This small amount of money may not be enough to compare with the money the Coal Industry Chamber of Commerce can earn in an hour after the Coal Industry Chamber of Commerce is established and officially operational.

"I thought that 'Mixianfang' had a prosperous opening and would definitely surprise Brother Huai'an."

Li Lizhi looked at Li Huaian sadly, like a child who had not been praised.

"Well, actually I am not without surprises. It depends on who you compare with. If you compare with me, you will definitely not be able to do it. But compared with other people in Chang'an City, Changle is still very powerful. She can be regarded as the first female goddess of wealth in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Huaian looked at Li Lizhi who pursed her lips sadly and immediately changed her tune.

Although he knew it in his heart.

The opening of 'Mixianfang' is a foreseeable thing and the business is booming.

As for the reason, there has never been a store like 'Mixianfang' in Chang'an City, which can make many pastries that have never been seen in Chang'an City.

There are also the patrons of the 'Liu Li Pavilion'. Before this, they have enjoyed this kind of pastry in the private room of the 'Liu Li Pavilion'. But before, they had no place to buy it separately. Every time they wanted to eat it, they had to come here. Let's go to Liulice to see if there are any new products launched by Liulice. By the way, we can taste the snacks specially prepared for patrons who enjoy private box privileges in Liulice, which are the pastries sold at Mi Xianfang.

When these patrons of 'Liu Li Pavilion' heard that 'Mixianfang' sells pastries and desserts that can only be tasted in the private rooms of 'Liu Li Pavilion', they would definitely come to visit 'Mixian Fang' ’, and picked a few pastries to take away.

Of course.

For differentiation.

Under the influence of Li Huaian, Li Ruoqiu did not sell all the pastries and desserts from the Shouchang Hou Mansion in the 'Mixianfang'.

Just like what she said to Li Lizhi, among the pastries and desserts that appear in the 'Liu Li Pavilion', there are always several pastries and desserts that are secret products of the Shouchang Hou Mansion and are not passed down to others.

This is the signature food of the house.

The same principle was used by Li Ruoqiu for 'Mixianfang' and 'Liu Li Pavilion'. 'Mixianfang' will always have a few valuable, special, beautiful and delicious pastries. Desserts will not appear in 'Mixianfang'. Sold in Xianfang'.

These snacks will be exclusive to patrons of the private box of 'Liu Li Pavilion'.

Besides.

Li Lizhi's status as the Princess of Changle of the Tang Dynasty also played a big role in the booming opening of 'Mixianfang'. With this status, it is impossible for the nobles living in Chang'an City to ignore this 'Mixianfang'. Xianfang'.

These nobles who are seeking wealth under Li Shimin will definitely send their families to support Princess Changle.

If other types of shops were too expensive, these nobles would still have a reason to refuse.

But a pastry shop, no matter how much it costs, can still use a few copper coins.

It's just a few coins to top the sky.

but.

It was a bit too much for these honorable men to think.

Although the pastries at 'Mixianfang' are not expensive, they are not cheap either. They cost at least five hundred copper coins or one tael of silver at a time, otherwise you won't be able to buy many pastries.

This is why Li Huaian said that 'Mixianfang' is something that ordinary people in Chang'an City cannot afford.

The customers of 'Mixianfang' have always been wealthy people in Chang'an City.

The air around 'Mixianfang' is filled with the aroma of butter and caramel. They are all unconsciously thinking that the people in Chang'an City are announcing that the pastries here are very expensive.People in Chang'an City feel that standing outside and taking a breath of the sweet fragrance in the air is a gain.

As a result, every time pedestrians passing by 'Mi Xianfang' can't help but stop and take a deep breath of the air greedily, wanting to suck the sweetness in the air into their mouths and enjoy the sweet fragrance of milk and honey that they have never smelled before. .

at this period.

Neither Europe nor the Tang Dynasty has achieved true sugar freedom.

Sugar was exclusive to the nobility.

Just know this.

You can understand what status 'Mixianfang' will have in Chang'an City.

As long as white sugar has not become popular, 'Mixianfang' will always be the only one in the pastry industry in Chang'an City and maintain a monopoly.

By then, everyone will know.

The pastries of 'Mixianfang' are so sweet and fragrant. I'm afraid the only thing that can compare with them is the heavenly delicacies. Just standing at the door and smelling the sweet aroma, you can imagine how delicious it is. After taking a bite, I'm afraid It is sharing the blessings of immortality with the immortals.

Under these various factors.

This creates the basis for 'Mixianfang' to make money.

That's why Li Huaian doesn't think there's anything amazing about 'Mixianfang'.

Because this is inevitable.

but.

Li Lizhi actually accepted Li Huaian's consolation, and soon became happy with the speed at which 'Mixianfang' made money, which saved Li Huaian, a guy who was not very good at coaxing girls, a lot of trouble.

the next day.

In the front yard of the Shouchang Hou Mansion, where materials for the renovation of the house were piled up, Li Huaian, Wu Dayong, and a group of craftsmen working in the manor gathered, looking at the materials that had been placed in the yard in advance. Replace the house with neatly arranged flat glass.

Li Ruoqiu went to the East Market early in the morning, and together with Li Lizhi took care of the business of 'Mixianfang', and also took care of the business of 'Liu Li Pavilion'.

Only the maid Taohua was left in the mansion, responsible for serving Li Huaian.

Wu Dayong looked at the glass placed in the yard to seal the greenhouse and the window glass. His face was filled with shock, disbelief and disbelief.

It's been a long time.

He just came back to his senses.

"Master Marquis, are you going to use these glazed glasses as window lattice paper?"

"Yes, these glasses are what I use as window lattice paper. It's winter and there is only one layer of window lattice paper on the windows, which is not warm enough and blocks the sun, so I want to replace it with this kind of glass."

Li Huaian pointed to the windows of the rooms in the courtyard and told Wu Dayong that this was the purpose of these glasses.

"Master Marquis, are the servants' rooms in the mansion also changed?"

The reason why Wu Dayong asked this was naturally because when they, the craftsmen, renovated the Shouchang Hou Mansion, they also remodeled the houses where the maids lived in according to Li Huaian's instructions.

Not only were fire pits added to the rooms of these maids, but iron stoves were also added, and the windows were also remade. As soon as Li Huaian received the materials to seal the windows, he could immediately remove the old windows and replace them with new ones. .

What he didn't expect was that the material Li Huaian used to seal the windows would be so expensive. Using glass instead of window lattice paper was too luxurious.

It is even more luxurious than the Tai Chi Palace of today’s saints.

The most important thing is that Li Huaian not only replaces the glass in the main house, but also plans to replace it in the houses of the maids in the mansion, which has to be confirmed by him again and again.

"Of course, all rooms in the mansion that are occupied by people must be replaced with these glasses, including the rooms of the maids in the mansion."

Done.

Li Huaian thought of something and looked at the maid Taohua.

"Peach Blossom, are the curtains ready? After Old Wu and the others have replaced the windows, you can lead people to hang the curtains in each room. Otherwise, the glass will be too transparent. Without curtains, it will be like opening the windows. .”

Hanging curtains is still necessary.

Although he was the only man in the entire Shouchang Hou Mansion, the maidservants in the mansion were also his private property according to the contract of sale, and these maidservants had no privacy from him.

As long as he is willing, these maids in the mansion are happy to let him watch.

But it still needs to be installed.

Even if the curtains are installed, if Li Huaian wants to see the maids in the mansion, there is no need to peek.

"Mr. Sir, the slaves have already prepared and can hang curtains on the windows at any time."

The maid Taohua was very happy and curious about changing the glass windows.

Not only was she happy, but the maids in the house were even more happy. I really didn’t expect that these maids, this winter, would not only have hot pots and iron stoves, but they would also be able to install such transparent windows on the windows of their rooms today. Glass.

This piece of glass can buy several of their maids.

Lang Jun actually wanted to use it for these maids.

These maidservants were even more aroused by Li Huaian. They kept flirting with each other and their eyes were as tender as water. They wished they could eat up their only husband and only man in the Shouchang Hou Mansion.

It's really like a pack of wolves staring at a piece of meat.

These maids in the mansion are different from the female clerks in the mansion. When Li Ruoqiu bought them back, every maid was basically a female prostitute who had not left the court in Pingkangfang Flower House.

The appearance is not bad.

However, I just can't get the husband's sympathy.

I can only take care of myself and pity myself.

Seeing that the curtains were ready, Li Huaian explained the key points of tempered glass to Wu Dayong, and warned not to use too much force on the four corners of the tempered glass to avoid accidental breakage.

"Okay, Old Wu, let them get started."

"Okay, Lord Marquis, let's start work now."

Wu Dayong received the order and immediately gave instructions to his craftsmen.

"Listen to the Marquis, guys, let's start the work. Remember to be careful when moving these glasses. Don't bump into them. These are precious things."

"Master, don't worry, we are no longer little dolls."

"No."

A group of craftsmen worked hard to find the suitable glass size. Together, they carefully lifted the confirmed glass and began to seal the glass on the window frame.

Then, under the guidance of the maids, they walked around the courtyard of the mansion to install glass windows.

Wu Dayong took a dozen craftsmen straight to the greenhouse yard. He planned to be responsible for the installation of the greenhouse himself.

Because the glass in the conservatory is huge, it takes more than a dozen people to lift a piece of glass.

Therefore, Li Huaian used [Zhutian Private Warehouse] to place the glass of the greenhouse next to the greenhouse in advance to facilitate Wu Dayong and the others to move and install it.

Suddenly the entire Shouchang Hou Mansion became busy.
