Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 427 Preparing to Open Moxiangzhai

Yingying smiled and said, "Change more. I don't mind too much silver. The more the better. It's great to have a rich lady like Miss. Qingming, we are so lucky."

Su He smiled and nodded: "Okay, our Yingying is saving for her dowry! Don't worry, I will prepare a large sum of dowry money for you when the time comes."

Yingying stamped her feet shyly and said, "I won't pay attention to you. Miss is too mean. You are still a little girl!"

Yingying ran out after saying that. Su He and Qingming laughed in the room, holding their stomachs. Yingying was really not easy to be teased. It seemed that she had reached such an age and had such an idea.

Su He talked to Qingming about going out, and then took out a medical book to read. While reading, she was also thinking about doing something related to medicine or reading.

Things related to these two directions are the most profitable. Any of them is not cheap. Not to mention medicine, most people don't know how to make it. Su He knows a lot of prescriptions, and makes them into Chinese patent medicines to sell, especially for common colds and fevers and some health pills.

The next day, after breakfast, Su He expressed his ideas and asked his masters and his father for their reference. Everyone came up with ideas and consulted on a good one.

They all think that writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone are better. For business people like them, it is easier to get them. Pharmacies here usually need to hire doctors, which is more troublesome. Good doctors usually open their own shops. Young patients don't trust them, and the elderly don't need to be doctors.

Generally, clinics are passed down from generation to generation, and most family members know medicine, but Su He's family does not have such conditions.

Of course she can be the head doctor, but she can't just walk around. This is unrealistic. The Su family's business cannot do without her for the time being. She doesn't need to show up, but she needs to give advice behind the scenes. Once she is tied up, she can't get away. Practicing medicine is a time-consuming job.

The location of the shop is not far from the academy, so it is more suitable for making brushes, ink, paper and inkstones. Su He and his sister have been making brushes, and now they are very good at making brushes. They also make ink, paper and inkstones, but they made less after their family became rich.

For the Su family, buying materials for inkstones and inkstones is not a problem. Also, with the support of the Ninth Prince and General Wang An, there is nothing to be afraid of, not worrying about taking advantage of others.

Su He meant that the store should not be expanded, and it should only be sold in the capital city. If the Ninth Prince wanted to do it, they could supply the goods or cooperate in the operation.

In this way, you need to buy a farm outside the city and build a workshop to make pens, inkstones, paper and inkstones. If you want to do it, you have to do it seriously, only in this way can you make money.

They agreed to sell the four treasures of the study, and the name of the shop was Moxiangzhai. They chose this name from a variety of names. Su He liked it very much, and it was obvious that it was a study shop, and the meaning was very straightforward.

Now that these have been discussed, they start to discuss how to decorate the store. Su He wants to use the current supermarket style. Besides, most of the people who buy pens, inkstones, paper and inkstones are scholars. As long as the waiter is careful, there is no need to worry about things getting lost.

For scholars, reputation is more important than anything else, so this is something that can be put at ease. Those that are more expensive can be placed close by, right under your nose.

Su He took out pen and ink and drew a rough blueprint of the store, explaining how to make shelves and counters, and dividing the areas in detail.

We were planning to hire a few waiters and talked about how to manage the business. In the end, we decided to hire people. They would send people to manage the business while we were not in the store. This was the best way.

Then everyone split up into several groups, one group went to find people to work, one group went to the brokerage to buy people, and one group went to the brokerage to check the farm. These tasks had to be done at the same time. Time waits for no one, the sooner the better, if the shop is empty, it will lose money.

It was easiest to find someone to do the work. There were people who specialized in this in the city. You could just pay a little money to the broker and ask them about it. They had all the information. They paid quite a bit of money, and the broker was thinking about selling the farm to make money, so he recommended a more reliable one to them. The broker said that this was the best worker in the city, and his skills were top-notch.

Another broker took them to select people. Su He came here with her father. He carefully selected eight energetic young men from the crowd and prepared to train them well. The shopkeeper only needed to keep one of the people who came.
