Traveling Through Ancient Times To Be a Shopkeeper

Wei Cheng came to the grocery store in the suburbs from Xianmanju, today is the date to make an appointment with Boss Gu.

The grocery store has a name, it is called Yuanji Grocery Store, and people who hear it will not understand what it means.

The dried seafood dried in the workshop is placed on the shelves of the grocery store. Wei Hu, Wei Yi, and Wei Jin all help out in Xianmanju, and Wei Shi looks at the grocery store.

"master."

Wei Shi saw Wei Cheng coming in and shouted respectfully.

"There are guests coming today, you ask Wei Shu to prepare some refreshments for the guests."

Wei Shu is Wei Jin's husband, a brother with a disfigured scar on his face, he chose to stay in the grocery store to help out since he knew his disfigurement.

Although the scars on the face are covered up, ancient makeup techniques still leave traces, and there are obvious traces in the covered places.

Wei Shu is careful and organized. There is not much to do in the grocery store, and there are too many things to prepare in advance. Wei Shu is very suitable.

He didn't know much about Wei Shu. Wei Cheng set up a study room in the grocery store, where Uncle Mao, who could walk around, was in charge of teaching. Apart from Wei Shu, there were also Wei Cheng's three brothers-in-law.

The two long-term workers recruited by Weicheng, the workshop is currently out of work, and the long-term workers are going to Xianmanju to help. Xianmanju's business is booming, and they will be hired later.

The steward of the sauce workshop arranged for someone to deliver the sauce, one to the kitchen for backup, and one to the private room. The chef is arranged by Tai Fu Lou, and the ingredients to be used have been purchased in advance.

Wei Cheng made an appointment for noon.

Before the lunch market, Boss Gu drove to the door of the grocery store.

Yun Chengfeng didn't come until the two of them entered the private room. In fact, he didn't have to come in this situation, because his identity was there. Yun Chengfeng came anyway, he felt that there might be something to gain from coming.

There are more than a dozen kinds of sauces on the table in the private room, some are fresh, some are stewed, some are stir-fried, some are used for soup, and some are used for steaming... Those sauces are suitable for sale in restaurants and restaurants, even high-end Big family.

Commonly used by ordinary people, the grade is inferior, so I did not recommend it to Boss Gu.

When Wei Cheng saw that everyone had arrived, he ordered Wei Shi to let the kitchen serve the dishes, and the dishes were put on the table one after another, with several special dishes made with different sauces.

"Young Master, Boss Gu, please try!"

Boss Gu tried them one by one.

Yun Chengfeng tasted it properly, he had tasted it.

"The sauces this time are a lot different from the ones I bought last time, and the taste of each sauce with the right ingredients is even better." Boss Gu said with a smile, "Boss Wei, you are doing this to let me make each sauce Approve all materials?"

Yun Chengfeng raised his eyebrows, is that so?

Wei Cheng's intention is not just what Boss Gu said.

Wei Chengdao: "Young Master, Boss Gu, let's talk while eating."

The two agreed and neither had lunch.

"Boss Gu's merchant ships travel all over the world, so they should have a lot of goods on hand." Wei Cheng cut to the chase. "Wei's intention today is not only to sell the sauce, but also to talk to Boss Gu with sincerity to discuss cooperation."

Yun Chengfeng glanced at him, it really is so!

Boss Gu was stunned, he didn't understand what Wei Cheng called "cooperation", and he wondered what kind of cooperation could there be in the sauce business?

"Boss Wei, what do you mean by cooperation...?"

"I have already discussed with the Shaodong family before how to sell the sauce in the sauce shop." Wei Cheng said, "We don't plan to unilaterally sell the goods in the sauce shop, but directly cooperate with the merchants to sell each The local sales rights are directly handed over to the cooperative merchants. The price is still the wholesale price."

"Of course, you can ask why we don't sell it ourselves. It's okay to sell it by ourselves. At present, we have not set up sauce sales stores in other places. It is easier to open up the sauce market by cooperating with merchants in the early stage. To obtain the right to sell, there must be a merchant. Conditions, we provide the goods in our hands to the cooperative merchants, and the cooperative merchants also provide us with the same goods, this is the cooperation condition."

Upon hearing this, Boss Gu frowned and thought.

Wei Cheng continued to put aside the temptation of profit, "Boss Gu has tasted the dishes made with my sauce, and over time, the sauce will enter restaurants, restaurants, and rich and powerful people are absolutely guaranteed."

Boss Gu is a businessman, and the dishes fried with sauce taste better than those without sauce. Obviously, Wei Chengjia sauce will become a necessary purchase sooner or later, just like soy sauce.

Boss Gu: "What kind of goods does Boss Wei want me to exchange for cooperation? If I don't have any suitable goods from Boss Wei, can I not wholesale sauces from Boss Wei?"

"That's another way of saying it. Let's put it this way. Suppose you don't have a partner in the place where you sell sauces, and you haven't opened a store. It's okay for Boss Gu to sell the goods from me. After you have a partner, then It won't work."

Boss Gu frowned: "I don't know what kind of goods Boss Wei wants?"

"Don't worry, I won't **** your important goods. What I want is what goods you can provide me, and I will choose the right one to discuss cooperation with you."

Boss Gu is a ship merchant, and he has a wide network of resources. He relies on merchant ships to resell commercial goods.

However, his source of goods is not fixed, he always goes to the local area to trade and buy with other merchants, and then sells the goods to people who need them, or sells them in other places.

The pier market in the county seat is a good trading place.

The sauce he bought from Wei Cheng before was sold to the cooperative restaurant. If the cooperative restaurant does not buy it, he will transport the sauce back to the store in his hometown county, and then sell it.

The sauce is surprisingly good for sale. The cooperative restaurant ordered a batch, and the rest relied on sales to other restaurants to sell out the sauce. Regardless of whether the restaurant or the restaurant has to book the next batch, he will come to Wei Cheng again to buy.

It is risky for Boss Gu to come to Wei Cheng to order sauces. The risk is that he will be able to rob him of the source of sauces by letting businessmen who are interested in the source of sauces follow him to look for them.

Whoever has the capital to buy and sell must trade with whom.

At that time, he was afraid that the cooperative restaurant would not cooperate with him, and he would lose a source of goods.

The cooperation that Wei Cheng mentioned, he is very excited, so he doesn't have to worry about others robbing the market.

As for Wei Cheng, he wanted to cooperate with him. After the cooperation was signed, the local independent sales rights belonged to him.

Boss Gu hesitated because he didn't know what goods Wei Cheng needed from him.

He doesn't have enough important goods on hand to sell by himself, so how could he give them away. He wants to get this cooperation again. Having a buyer before means that there is a sale in the market.

"Boss Wei, the quantity of goods in my merchant ship is not large, but it is better than the variety of goods. At present, in addition to the merchants who have established regular cooperation transactions, I can use the goods to cooperate with Boss Wei. Boss Wei wants How about next?"

When Boss Gu said this, he cast a dark glance at Yun Chengfeng. He was afraid that Yun Chengfeng would be dissatisfied if he kept the goods privately. Boss Gu didn't know that the exchange of resources was what Wei Cheng needed.

Yun Chengfeng still doesn't like this resource.

Wei Cheng asked: "Boss Gu, can you tell me, what kind of goods do you have that you can provide?"

"My merchant ships have a lot of goods from the south, and some of them are not widely distributed. I buy scattered tea, local products, medicinal materials, and fruits from the villagers. There is also a small amount of white sugar and brown sugar. The northern purchases are grain, fur, and medicinal materials. , These have fixed partners, so they cannot be provided to Boss Wei, please forgive me."

"Boss Gu, don't worry too much." Wei Cheng pondered for a moment, "I won't be able to use the goods in Boss Gu's hands for the time being. Instead, I need Boss Gu to help me purchase the goods for a long time."

"I don't know what it is?

"Local mountain products, several kinds of fruits, fresh flowers..." Wei Cheng said, "Because they are fresh products, we can't wait too long. If Boss Gu can't deliver the goods, he can ask other merchant ships to deliver them. I will also teach Boss Gu how to save it."

Boss Gu breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes! On this condition, Gu agrees to cooperate with Boss Wei."

The two parties reached a cooperation agreement.

The cooperation contract between the two parties requires the supply of goods.

When saying goodbye to Boss Gu, Wei Cheng said: "If Boss Gu encounters any rare mountain or sea goods, he can send you samples, and I will also buy rare mountain goods."

"Be sure to pay attention!"

After people leave.

"All you want are mountain products? What are they used for?" Yun Chengfeng said, "Mountain products are not easy to store, and they have to be sold when they are fresh, so it is easy to lose everything."

"Don't worry, I have my own solution for this." Wei Cheng walked into the shop, walked a few steps, remembered something, and said to Yun Chengfeng, "By the way, my house is going to be remodeled, I have the blueprint, and your construction team is Fucheng Come here, you should be able to do what I ask. You can lend me your construction team."

After Wei Cheng finished speaking, his thoughts turned to other places.

Product packaging is a problem. He doesn't know the technology of glass. It should be possible to make plastic boxes. Plastic boxes and bottles are transparent, so he can see the appearance of his products and sell them more easily.

There are spare workshops at home, which can be implemented.

To make plastic, it is convenient for our own people, but to buy it, it seems that there is not much money.

Make a small batch first.

Wei Cheng went in directly.

Yun Chengfeng standing at the door: "......"

This man is really rude.

Wei Cheng and Yun Chengfeng were busy selling sauces.

It was discussed before that a sauce shop will be opened in the inner city of the county, named Quanweifang, which is funded by the sauce shop and promoted by Taifulou.

In the outer city of the county, Weicheng recruited shopkeepers to help sell them, and sold them through the streets and alleys to every household, which was easy to open up the market.

Wei Cheng is not in Xianmanju, Xianmanju is managed by Wei Lei.

When his eldest brother Wei Liang invited friends to dinner and came to Xianmanju, he saw Zhou Yuan working as the shopkeeper at the counter.

At first I thought I was wrong.

How could his second brother's husband be the shopkeeper in Xianmanju? It's not something he can afford to be the shopkeeper.

In order to avoid identifying the wrong person, Wei Liang sat down with his companions instead of going to confirm.

The waiter in the store came to record the names of the dishes, and Wei Liang asked, "Xiaoer, is the husband at the counter called Zhou Yuan?" He thought for a while before he remembered the name of his brother-in-law.

The shop waiter was also sincere, and said with a smile: "My proprietress is indeed called Zhou Yuan. Guest officer, do you know my proprietress?"

Boss lady—

"You...you mean that Zhou Yuan is your boss' wife?!" Wei Liang was startled, and his tone became urgent, "Is your boss called Wei Cheng?"

"That's right, my boss is called Wei Cheng."

Wei Liang was dumbfounded and shocked!

It's not that the business of his second brother's stall is not good, and it didn't take long for him to open such a large restaurant as Xianmanju.

Is there a mistake somewhere.

The people in the company were very curious about Wei Liang's expression, knowing the owner of Xianmanju must be so shocking, this is a good thing!

Wei regained his senses, he decided to go back and find out if the owner of Xianmanju was his second brother, and if it was—

Wei Liang narrowed his eyes and thought, if it was true, his family would be in trouble!

"Wei Liang, why were you so dazed just now? Do you know the boss of Xianmanju?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Wei Liang said generously, "Whatever you want to eat, you can order anything except the signature dishes!"

The companion was happy now, and ordered a lot of dishes without hesitation.

—

Wei Lei who came down from the second floor also saw Wei Liang who was eating in the lobby.

Wei Lei walked to the counter: "Brother Yuan, Chengzi's eldest brother Wei Liang is eating in the lobby, did you see it?"

"Ah?" Zhou Yuan, who lowered his head to settle accounts just now, didn't notice at all, "I didn't see it, where is Big Brother sitting?"

Wei Liang sat on the inside, blocked by a partition, so Zhou Yuan didn't see where anyone was.

"On Channel 17."

Zhou Yuan pondered for a moment, "Shall I go over to say hello?"

Wei Lei shook his head, "Chengzi is not here, Wei Liang didn't come to ask, it's better for you not to go."

Zhou Yuan frowned: "Isn't that good?" You can see that Wei Liang is the husband and his eldest brother, so he has to go over and say hello.

"It's okay, Cheng Zi has explained that he knows that he will meet family members when he opens a restaurant in the county. Cheng Zi said that if he is not there, you can avoid it if you can, and he will deal with it." Wei Lei said, "I will let Xiao Liu replace you The location, the busiest time in the afternoon market is over, we can come here quickly, you go back to the backyard to rest first."

Zhou Yuan didn't object, since his husband had explained, he still didn't go over to say hello. He had very little contact with his husband's family, and if he did, he didn't know what to say.

Leave the lobby to Wei Lei.

Zhou Yuan went back to the backyard to take a lunch break.

This is because the husband in his family let him rest for half an hour every day. The husband is considerate of him, and he will definitely obey.

When he is not busy, he will go back to the backyard to rest.

After Wei Liang finished his meal, he went to the counter to check out, but he didn't see Zhou Yuan.

Xiao Liu did not receive Wei Lei's explanation, so she accepted Wei Liang's full payment. Wei Liang gave Yin Liang a heartache.

Wei Liang was annoyed, why he was so confused all of a sudden, so that he could make more people.

He thought about eating for nothing, Zhou Yuan was at the counter cashier, and seeing him, he would definitely not accept his money, order more, and it would not cost money.

—

Before the evening market started in the afternoon, Wei Cheng returned to Xianmanju, and learned from Wei Lei that his elder brother came to Xianmanju for dinner and saw his wife.

"okay, I get it."

Sooner or later, the Wei family will find out that he opened a shop.

Things always have to be faced!

I don't know what plans the Wei family will have when they find out.

Walking to the door of the private room, Wei Cheng held back his expression slightly, pushed open the door of the private room, and put on a gentle expression.

Zhou Yuan's eyes lit up when he saw someone, "Husband, are you done?" He got up and was about to walk over, but Wei Cheng walked over to him with big strides, and asked softly, "Do you miss me?"

Zhou Yuan thought about it, he didn't see anyone all day today, he was embarrassed to say, Wei Cheng leaned over, "I miss you."

Zhou Yuan smiled sweetly, "I thought about it too."

Wei Cheng leaned over, bowed his head and kissed him lightly on the lips, took his hand and sat down, "I'm hungry, join me for afternoon tea." Afternoon tea was still what Wei Cheng said.

Hearing this, Zhou Yuan immediately sat down to eat with him. He was full and was about to go down to help.

When I heard that my husband was hungry, I took care of my husband first.

If you go out for a day, you must be too busy to eat enough.

Zhou Yuan felt distressed, and kept making snacks for him.

Wei Cheng happily accepts his daughter-in-law's feeding.

—

Wei family.

Wei Liang asked someone to inquire, and confirmed that Xianmanju was opened by Wei Cheng, so he told Wei's father and Wei mother about it.

From Wei Liang's mouth, I learned how good the business is at Kaixianmanju in Weicheng, and the price of recruiting vegetables is the most expensive, and the business is even more booming every day. Wei Liang also said that when he had a meal yesterday, he ordered ordinary dishes, which cost two taels of silver.

Both Wei's father and Wei's mother were shocked, and Wei Cheng's sister-in-law even stared in disbelief!

After the shock, his expression was equally excited, and his eyes gleamed.

Wei Cheng's shop, Wei Cheng is their son, that is, their family also has a share.

This is his house - it's about to be released!
