371. Weaving workshop

With sufficient funds, the shops in Chang'an City were soon settled.

There is a restaurant in Datongfang. The store is not good at operating. It has been open for three or four years and has been lukewarm and has not made much money.

However, he was lucky and did not make any money in the restaurant. The shop he bought earlier appreciated, which was two or three times higher than the price he bought at the time.

He was also waiting and watching early in the morning and wanted to sell this shop for a good price. He heard that Aunt Luo was planning to open a branch in the south of the city recently, so he inquired with one of his neighbors, a small manager of Sister Food Store.

The manager told Aunt Luo about this matter. The aunt went to his shop that day to take a look. After seeing this, she was quite satisfied. The location was also suitable and the place was large enough.

The upstairs and downstairs are cleaned up. Although it has been several years since the last repair, the owner is very caring about it on weekdays and looks relatively new.

The price is not cheap, but in Chang'an City, it is not easy to find a suitable shop, so Aunt Luo didn't hesitate and bought it very quickly.

The store was very happy when it was sold at a satisfactory price. When the neighbors around him heard that Aunt Luo was going to open a sister's food shop here, they were even more happy.

After hearing the transaction price of Aunt Luo’s shop, many people said that the owner of the restaurant in front was not kind and was on the same street, and the transaction price was vainly several percent higher than other people’s houses.

Some merchants came here, saying that their family had some shops everywhere in Chang'an City, and they were planning to sell them. If Aunt Luo wanted it, they would sell it at any price, just to benefit the neighbors, and it would be better to be cheated by the bad-hearted restaurant owners.

Aunt Luo is not stupid either. Where can I find good things about pies falling from the sky? If I take advantage of others, I will have to pay them back sooner or later. What is the situation in the Luo family now? How many people want to give them money in different ways? The more this happens, the more they need to calculate the accounts clearly.

"Although he offered the price of this shop, I was willing to buy it with money. I am a rude deal. How can I say something bad? Don't say such things again?"

Aunt Luo didn't think there was anything unreasonable about the price of this shop. People sell the shop naturally wanted to sell more money. As the buyer, she felt that the shop was in line with her wishes and was willing to pay more money. This was completely something that you and I would like to do.

These merchants used the method of accusing the restaurant in front of him to show that they were very protective of Aunt Luo. This is actually a very common method of winning over.

They did not care about the reputation and feelings of the wine shop owner, nor did they care about whether Aunt Luo would get into evil with the wine shop owner and lay hidden dangers. They were just seeking benefits for themselves.

Aunt Luo is not a fool, both externally and internally.

If some of the managers in Ajie Food Store pay too much attention to the struggle for power rather than focusing on their own work, they will often lose her trust and reliance.

In recent years, some of my sister's food shops have also been sold. Some people are very diligent and docile when they first arrive at the shop. Later, they gradually gained a foothold. They rely on their mastery of the methods of eating in the shop and know how to buy the hearts of those working below, and they will start to make trouble.

Once this sign appears, the warning will not restrain itself a few times, Aunt Luo will tell them to leave. At this time, no matter whether they are soft or hard, they will be hard.

They also thought they had this skill and would not worry about not having a job after leaving Sister's Food Store, but the result was not that way.

Ordinary small vendors are afraid of causing trouble with them and dare not hire such people. After all, these people signed confidentiality agreements at the Sister Food Store, and they are also afraid of causing lawsuits.

Most of the larger shops have contacts with the North and South grocery store. In addition, the power of so many Hedong merchants influenced by the Luo family, most people do not want to cause trouble.

In short, these people left the north and south groceries, and it was not easy for them to make a better job in Chang'an City than before.

But I heard that some of them have entered the mansion of wealthy people and cooked with others, and some have gone to other places. Most of them have no news. Regardless of whether they are doing well or not, it is best to be more low-key. If Aunt Luo learns that they are making money with the prescriptions from Sister Food Store, she will definitely sue them.

I remember when Aunt Luo dismissed a manager for the first time, one of the straightforward women asked the aunt in person whether it was inappropriate for her to act like this.

The aunt laughed unhappy at the time: "You idiot, if I don't ask her to leave today, it will be inappropriate for you. I will keep her in the shop to form cliques and eliminate dissidents. If you are as stunned as you, then let alone increase your salary, you may even lose your job."

The woman who spoke at that time is now one of the oldest employees in the Grandma Food Store. Although she was a little careless, she was very familiar with the work in the shop because she was diligent at that time, so she became a manager even though she was not too young.

After seeing it over the years, I gradually understood that if Aunt Luo had not established the rules firmly and could be suppressed strongly, how could their sister's food shop have today? The atmosphere in the shop should have been corrupted long ago. Once this atmosphere is corrupt, the transaction will naturally not last long. Sooner or later, everyone would have to go home to eat themselves.

Now that A-sister Food Store has opened a branch, most of the former small managers have been promoted to big managers this time. Many people have the opportunity to be sent to various branches to be store managers.

She used to take a dozen women to make meatballs and fish balls, but she didn't care about the purchases. This time, when the shop in Chengnan opened, Aunt Luo asked her to go to the window selling fish balls in the new store.

The new shop is much larger than the old shop. When one shop comes in, each one is a window selling food. The window where they sell fish balls is inside, and a small door is directly opened from behind to lead to the backyard.

There is a well in the backyard, and there are many houses. Some are used as warehouses, some are workhouses, and some are specially used to bake cakes, bread, meatballs, fish balls, etc.

She looked at the new store these two days and looked again and again. From the window where the goods were sold, from the workplace in the backyard, from the operating table where fishing and meat-cutting, and from the guy who was cooking fish balls and meat balls, there was nothing that was dissatisfied with.

Aunt Luo also asked them to talk to the branch manager a few times, mainly about the preparations and details of various aspects of the store a few days before opening the store.

All of them are full of energy because the managers can not only get a bonus at the end of each year, but also give a performance bonus every month based on the profitability of the projects they are responsible for. This money is very large, so the branch manager will earn more.

However, the pressure is also great if you earn too much. If you don’t do well, you may be replaced. Aunt Luo is a person with many benefits. She is kind and loyal, but she is less merciless in terms of personnel appointment and removal.

Before the new store opened, they were both expectant and nervous, and were always worried about here and there. When the new store opened, they didn’t have to think about anything. They were busy all day long.

In the early years, the south of the city was not prosperous. For example, Guiyifang next to their Datongfang and several nearby yards were famous for having poor public security, and the ladies of wealthy families basically did not come here.

Later, the Dinghu people set up a Dingda Express here, and then several other express delivery companies appeared one after another, basically all of them were in this area.

However, the real prosperity of the south of the city has been in recent months. The platform of the wooden rail train is outside the Anhua Gate of Tongtong.

Anhuamen is very close to the area of ​​Datongfang, so in just a few months, many restaurants and food shops have emerged in this area, and housing prices have also risen a lot.

I got off the wooden carriage outside Chang'an City and entered the city from Anhuamen nearby. On the left is Da'anfang and on the right is Anlefang. Nowadays, they are all very lively places, with many restaurants, many vendors on the street, and many suburban farmers who carry carts and carry loads to the city to sell vegetables and fruits.

Datongfang is just a little in front of Da'anfang. It used to be less lively than Da'anfang. Recently, because a new sister's food shop was opened, its popularity became very popular for a while.

To tell how prosperous the business of this sister's food shop is, it is rumored that their family hired more than twenty women who wash dishes. The two-story halls are full of people every day, and there are servants and servants from various families carrying food boxes in and out. I really don't know how much food to sell every day.

If you want to talk about why the business of A Sister Food Store is so good, it is probably because it is delicious and not expensive. If you don’t mention it, just talk about Dongpo pork. There are also some tavern restaurants in Chang'an City that can be made, but most of those shops are expensive. If you go in for a meal, you will definitely not be able to get a few dozen cents each.

But at the Sister Food Shop, you go in and order a small jar of Dongpo pork, some pasta, steamed dumplings, etc., and then a cold dish, and a canned slurry drink made in their shop. These are only more than ten yuan. For many people in Chang'an, this price is very suitable.

Everyone comes in and out of this shop every day, including the group of young men and women, and the couple who bring their families to improve their meals. Occasionally, some elderly women can be seen.

There are also many Hu people, including the Persians, Sogdians, and many of them are unspeakable. These Hu people generally speak Chinese and order food in the store. There are many Hu people living in Chang'an City. In the past, they were very common in the store next to the West City, and everyone has long been used to it.

Chang'an City has become more and more prosperous in the past two years, with an increasing population, and its overall consumption capacity is stronger than in the past, and its trading is getting easier and easier to do.

However, in this seventh century AD, how many metropolises in the world like Chang'an City could be found, and most places were still in a state of desolation and backwardness.

The Hexi Corridor has developed well in the past two years, but compared with Chang'an City, it is just a deserted countryside. Squatting by the business road and waiting all day, it may not be possible to wait for one or two caravans to pass by. Although the Silk Road is brilliant, it is not something that people walk on every day. The desolate place is the daily life here.

This year, many people have built white-decker manors in various parts of Hexi. Local people in Hexi also plant white-decker flowers in various places. Now the season is over, and cotton bolls have been hung in the white-decker flowers in the fields. People are looking forward to a good harvest this year and a good price.

Those who thought far-reachingly had already begun to consider how to process these white laminates into white laminates. In order to save labor and transportation costs, it is best to process them locally. So naturally, they thought of recruiting some female workers in the local area and setting up a weaving workshop.

Recently, news came to Changle County, saying that people in Dunhuang and Jinchang are going to set up weaving workshops, and they need to find some women who can weaving. It is okay to know how to weaving, and cotton ginning is also necessary.
