Chapter 276 Xunnan County
Fengmei immediately whipped the horse to catch up with Wang Jinyi, grabbed the lady's horse's reins, and led the lady's horse to slow down slowly, and the two horses walked slowly.
After queuing up to enter the county town and having their documents checked at the city gate, the master and servant quickly found Cross Street according to the county town commercial street map hand-drawn by Zhao Chunming. Xunnan was a small county town with not many businesses, which were distributed in a cross shape, hence the name.
Wang Jinyi was curious about everything when she went out for the first time, so she slowed down and walked along the street. She passed by a busy wood shop, which caught Wang Jinyi's attention.
On the door of the furniture shop, there were four large characters written in ink on a whole piece of wood - Four Brothers Furniture Shop.
Wang Jinyi thought: Who has four brothers? You know, in this era, if parents have four sons, it is also a very encouraging thing to show off. Look, even the plaque says so.
Looking at the furniture being loaded in front of the wood shop, it seemed familiar. Wang Jinyi vaguely felt that it was somewhat similar to the French furniture he loved in his previous life.
I couldn't help but laugh to myself, thinking that I could relate everything I saw to Chen Zhiyuan. I shook my head and drove away the unrealistic fantasies.
Sister Feng pulled the young lady's sleeve and reminded her, "The young lady is over there."
At the same time, he pointed at the street sign on the side of the road with his whip.
Wang Jinyi followed Feng Mei's instruction and looked to the right. On the wooden stake at the intersection, there was a wooden sign with black letters and white outlines on both sides, clearly stating "Tai Sheng Rice Shop".
Zhao Chunming implemented his ideas very well. He even instructed that the name of the store should be promoted as much as possible, so he came up with the idea of putting up a sign on the street.
For the past six years, Zhao Chunming has been inspecting every Tai Sheng Rice Shop before it opened in various places. His only goal was to truly replicate the chain model.
Unified store front, completely consistent store style, management and service.
This will not only facilitate internal management and personnel flow, but also allow customers who love Tai Sheng Rice Shop to find Tai Sheng stores no matter where they go.
In fact, all of these were to leave information for Chen Zhiyuan to find himself. No matter where he was, once Chen Zhiyuan saw it, he could find the Wang family!
Wang Jinyi opened Taisheng Rice Shop not mainly for making money. His business requirements were: low profit, high sales, expanding traffic, widely promoting the stars in the night sky, and working hard to collect couplets for the stars in the night sky.
Wang Jinyi was thinking about something and observing the street market.
From the city wall, we can see that Xunnan County is neither wealthy nor a major commercial or transportation center. Commercialization is not popular here, and the folk customs are still very simple...
Merchants and pedestrians on the road looked sideways at two tall horses passing by. One of the horses was a dashing young man, holding another white horse on which sat a delicate little boy.
The two horses walked leisurely, turned leisurely at the intersection, walked along the alley to the third store, and stopped.
Fengmei jumped off the horse first and walked to the young lady, wanting to pick her up. Unexpectedly, the young lady also jumped down easily. Fengmei quickly reached out to hold the young lady steady.
This is an alleyway where two horse-drawn carriages can pass side by side. There are various storefronts on both sides, but the shops don’t look big. Customers come to the shops from time to time. Compared with the hustle and bustle of the city, the business here seems bleak!
I simply wanted to expand Tai Sheng's market coverage, make the stars in the night sky famous, and let more people know about the collection of the second couplet.
Although I think it is impossible for Chen Zhiyuan to be in such a remote town, but what if it is? So this county town cannot be missed. We must open a Tai Sheng Rice Shop.
There has been no news about Chen Zhiyuan in the past few years. Wang Jinyi even began to wonder whether Chen Zhiyuan was not in the Daqi Dynasty, but perhaps in the fiefdom of another king in the surrounding area or somewhere else?
A familiar plaque appeared in front of me. It was a heavy wooden plaque with large ink characters written on it: Tai Sheng Rice Shop.
A thin young man was busy going in and out at the door, sweeping the floor, wiping the door, and hanging a banner soliciting couplets on a long bamboo pole outside the door.
A long bench was placed outside the door for people passing by to sit down and rest.
Wang Jinyi knew that the young man was Wen Xiao, so he contacted Zhao Chunming and asked Wen Xiao to change his name to Chen Wenxiao and work as a clerk in the store. The owner of the store was still Zhao Chunming.
Wang Jinyi just glanced at Feng Mei, and Feng Mei found a tree to tie the horse, and followed the young lady into Tai Sheng Rice Shop.
Chen Wenxiao knew that his master would personally preside over the opening ceremony of Tai Sheng Rice Shop, so he had been making preparations step by step according to Manager Zhao's instructions over the past few days.
Wen Xiao was moving the food while thinking: How should I accommodate the master when he comes? Then he saw two figures coming in from the door.
The person who came in from the front was a handsome young boy with long eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a turned-up nose, baby lips, a fair face, and delicate features, looking a bit like Pan An and Song Yu.
Wen Xiao, who was holding a grain bag and adding grain to the granary, was stunned and stared at the young lady's face. Feng Mei waved the horsewhip in front of Wen Xiao's eyes, as if to summon a spirit, to focus Wen Xiao's attention on the business.
Wen Xiao coughed awkwardly, took the bag of grain from his hand, and poked it on the side of the grain storage. He wiped his cuffs and hands with the towel on his body, walked over, smiled, bowed and greeted the two people:
"Do you want to take a look at the rice or do you want to buy some? I can introduce it to you!"
Feng Mei glanced around the store nonchalantly, then stepped back behind the young lady, observing the shop assistant's every move. She even watched Wen Xiao getting closer and closer to the young lady, staring at his movements with a frown, ready to take precautions at all times.
Wang Jinyi walked around the store carefully, then passed through the grain storage and walked towards the small door leading to the backyard.
Wen Xiao had been following closely and introducing them at any time. When he saw the two people were going to the backyard, he quickly squeezed to the front of the door, stretched out his hand to block their way, and asked:
"Please tell me what you need first. If I can't solve it, I will ask our shopkeeper to talk to you. You can't just barge in. Besides, it's an inner house and it's not convenient for outsiders to come in and out."
In fact, after Tai Sheng became a chain store, the store layout of front shop and back house was fixed. After seeing the front, Wang Jinyi just wanted to take a look at the back and didn't intend to arouse Wen Xiao's disgust.
Seeing that Wen Xiaoming knew that the store owner was not there at all, but he could still swear that there was someone in the back, this was a warning and also a reminder to customers that the store owner was in the store and if they had business, they could talk in the front store first.
Wang Jinyi wanted to tease him after hearing this, so he deliberately lowered his voice, imitating the boy's voice, and asked:
"I want to buy a large amount of grain. Can you ask the shopkeeper to come out and discuss it with me in detail?"
Wen Xiao quickly led the two to the counter, found two ceramic bowls from under the counter, poured half a bowl of water into each, moved them in front of the two, then went out of the store, brought in a bench, and asked the two to sit down.
"I wonder what kind of food you two want to buy, and how much? Can you give me an exact number so I can inform the shopkeeper?"
Wang Jinyi thought: This man is young, but he is cautious and prudent. Knowing that he is the only one in the store, he can calmly stop the customer and find out the truth.
"Then can you tell us what kinds of rice you have?"
