Chapter 465 Why is business bad?
Su Yueyao had two days of leisure. When Cui Yiyang was on vacation, he came to tell her that he had sent some iron back to her.
Su Yueyao excitedly went into the study and drew a shabu-shabu pot.
"What else does my wife want besides the pot? The iron this time is all discarded from weapons. Give it to the blacksmith to refine. I think it will be no problem to make at least thirty."
"So many? Do you know where we can make a small stove? It will be fine if it matches the pot. Then we can put a pot-sized one on the table, like this."
Su Yueyao couldn't explain it clearly so she started to draw.
When Cui Yiyang saw it, he understood.
"My dear wife, I will arrange for someone to make it, but I want to inform His Majesty about this new food, since it uses a lot of iron utensils."
"After we taste the food, I will bring the pot into the palace and let Your Majesty have a taste. When we open the shop, I will give Your Majesty 20% of the profits." Su Yueyao said directly.
"The wife can choose from our shops in the next two days." Cui Yiyang said.
"Okay! I'll ask Qianqian."
Just like that, Cui Yiyang took the drawings drawn by Su Yueyao and left.
Su Yueyao was a little excited. Hot pot, she was here... The only thing left was the issue of the hot pot base and some of the required medicinal materials. She wondered if Yuanyi and the others had found them.
"Haruhi, if Lu Cejun and the others come back today, ask them to come to the study to find me, and also go and see if the master is busy. I want to see him."
"Okay lady, I'll go right away."
When Yang Qian came, Su Yueyao drew a few kinds of food she wanted to eat.
"Ayao, you're looking for me?"
"Well, where are all the restaurants and shops you own? Are there any that are not doing well? I want to change it into a hot pot restaurant."
"Ayao, please wait a moment." Yang Qianxun went directly to the next room and took out a few booklets.
"Ayao, these are all our farms, shops, etc. I just finished counting them yesterday. I separated the ones with good business and those with bad business." Yang Qianxun explained.
"Let me see." Su Yueyao took it and said.
"Ayao's restaurant was originally a good business restaurant, this one was a average business restaurant, and the location was not so good."
Su Yueyao wanted to pick up the one with good business, but after taking a look at it, she just wanted to say, fuck...it even has the approximate income information on it, it's a lot of money.
The geographical location, personnel, etc. are clearly written.
"..."
“Who sorted this out?”
"Yuqi and I sorted it out together. Yiyang and the others only gave me their dowry lists. We sorted out part of the dowries of the servants, and Yuqi is sorting out the other part."
“It’s very well organized.”
"We also organized it according to the method given by my wife. It is really convenient!" Yang Qianxun said with a smile.
Su Yueyao was no longer looking at the big restaurant that made a fortune every day, but was instead looking at the one that wasn't doing so well.
"This Xianheju is at the entrance of the third alley in the east city. It looks like it has a good location and the shop is not small. Why is the business not so good?" Su Yueyao asked directly.
"Xianheju is Yan Xi's dowry shop. I heard from the shopkeeper that it was doing well in the past two years. This year, a restaurant that is bigger than it opened across from it, so Xianheju has fewer employees."
"Whose restaurant is that across the street?"
"It's the Feng family of Fengdu. The head of the Feng family is a fifth-rank official in the Guanglu Temple, responsible for handling banquets, rewards, and sacrifices."
"There is no rift between the Huan family and the Feng family, right?"
"Probably not. Yan Xi never said that."
"That's good. Let's settle here. After lunch today, I'll go to Xianheju to take a look."
"Okay, Yiyang and I will go with Ayao to take a look this afternoon."
After lunch, Su Yueyao and Cui Yiyang went directly to Xianheju.
It is a two-story restaurant, surrounded by shops selling cloth, rouge, powder and the like, and the street is quite prosperous.
However, there were almost no people at the entrance of Xianheju, but there were quite a few people scattered around the restaurant opposite.
Yang Qianxun took out a jade token and handed it to the waiter at the door. When the waiter saw it, he immediately bowed and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. I will go and ask the shopkeeper to come over."
"Qianqian, what is this? Is it a token of the Huan family's shop?" Su Yueyao asked curiously.
"Not really, this is A-Yao's shop!"
"What? Isn't this Yan Xi's dowry?" Su Yueyao was a little confused.
"Yueyao, when we saw the jade pendant used by Xingchen, we thought it was very convenient, so we asked him to agree to make a token of trust for our dowry shop, which is this jade pendant. Yueyao, take a look at the texture on it." Cui Yiyang said with a smile.
Su Yueyao took the jade token from Yang Qianxun and found that the word "Su" could be vaguely seen on the carved pattern.
"Ayao, although you didn't let us transfer the shop to you, the deeds are all kept in your study!" Yang Qianxun said softly.
"How come I didn't know these were placed in my study!" Su Yueyao said speechlessly.
She had visited so many shops today! Could the house deeds, land deeds, and servants' indentures all be in her study?
"Madam, Sir, please come in." The shopkeeper came out and immediately led the three people into the store enthusiastically.
There was almost no one in the lobby on the first floor, and the waiters were scattered around.
Su Yueyao took a general look at the layout and went up to the box on the second floor.
I roughly know how to change it.
"Boss, why is the business so bad?" Su Yueyao asked curiously.
"The former head chef of Xianheju went to Feng's Restaurant across the street when his contract expired, and business gradually declined."
"Feng paid a huge price to poach this person?"
"No, the chef married Feng's accountant. The chef had worked in the store for five or six years, but had never found a suitable person. Two years ago, she accidentally met Feng's accountant across the street. When the contract expired, the chef did not renew the contract and married him, so..."
"All right!"
Su Yueyao thought the other party was playing some tricks, but it turned out that she was married...
"My lady, the chef is an honest man. The accountant has always liked him. He originally wanted to marry him directly after breaking the contract, but the chef fulfilled the contract deadline and even trained a new chef for us."
"After he came to Feng's, he didn't cook the local cuisine anymore. I heard that he learned some new dishes." said the shopkeeper.
After Su Yueyao heard this, she felt something was wrong, but she didn't think much about it and said to him, "Do chefs nowadays also sign contracts?"
"Yes, my lady, there are still three years left."
"Are there any cooks or servants who have been indentured to death?" Su Yueyao asked directly.
She wanted to make hotpot, but she couldn't train a chef well, because when the time came, he would be poached by someone else.
"Yes, because chefs are skilled workers and rarely sell their bodies, but ordinary small cooks are indentured to death."
"Okay! Let's just close Xianheju tomorrow! I'll draw the blueprints and send people to make corrections. I'll also train all the waiters individually. All the chefs or waiters who are not under a life contract will be fired and compensated."
"How much money is left in the store account now?"
"Less than a thousand taels."
"Give them all the compensation according to the contract. The rest will be paid as monthly salary after I finish renovating the store. If you don't have enough money, go to the Su Mansion to ask for it." Su Yueyao ordered.
"Okay lady, I'll be ready."
After Su Yueyao had made all the arrangements, she prepared to leave. She went back to think about how to design it and also to make use of the private room on the second floor.
