Chapter 70 Planning
The outing festival has passed and the weather is getting warmer and warmer.
On the first day of April, Jiang Zhixia went to Zhucuilou and handed over the pattern. When she went home with the bonus silver notes and put them in the small box, she looked at the five or six thousand taels of silver notes. Jiang Zhixia finally decided that she could not do anything so idle anymore.
Yes, nothing to do!
I only draw a few days a month. Although the patterns are getting harder to draw and the time to conceive is getting more and more, it still takes up no more than a whole month.
What should be painted at home is painted, and what should be replaced is also replaced.
If you continue to struggle, it will be time to change the house.
Jiang Zhixia also had the idea of changing to a big house. Later, after careful consideration, he gave up.
She is alone, why do you want to change such a big house? If you change to a big house, you have to buy someone to guard the house and do housework, which is not troublesome enough. Now, this house is warm and simple, so good.
However, she couldn't stand it anymore when she was so busy.
After all, Zhixia had been studying for more than 20 years in his previous life, and had learned so much knowledge and so many principles. Later, after working for so long, how could he be considered an independent professional woman?
Why, in this life, I have to stay at home and play with nothing?
The key point is that there is really nothing fun at home, and it’s almost boring. There are no mobile phones, computers, comics, and even fewer novels---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zhixia, who was so bored, thought about it, but she still had to find a living to do it. Whether to make money or not can at least pass the time and give her something to do.
Alas, this is the life of the lady's body.
So, from the next day, Jiang Zhixia took Xiaoman around the street with her hat and searched for a livelihood.
On this day, Jiang Zhixia brought Xiaoman to the source of gossip - the teahouse.
"The Chen family's pen and mo shop on Feng'an Street has been closed. It is said that the shop owner is going back to his hometown." A scholar wearing a gray long gown and a square scarf of the same color said with a pity.
"Is that so? His pen and ink are pretty good." Another scholar wearing a blue gown also said regretfully, "The quality is good and the price is quite affordable, why did it close?"
"That's to say." The scholar in the gray long-robed shirt sighed that the Bimo Shop closed the door, and then talked about other things. "An Jishu Shop has collected a new book, saying that it was an article passed down by Prime Minister Liu back then. It was copied by a disciple of Prime Minister Liu."
"What kind of book is it?" asked the scholar in blue long gown with interest.
Liu Cheng was the top scholar in his age, and his articles have been read by many people.
So, the two scholars talked enthusiastically about this book about the content of the imperial examination.
Jiang Zhixia laughed.
Otherwise, why would she say that the teahouse is a place of gossip and the source of her inspiration?
You see, just a few gossip news, you can always find ideas after summarizing them.
"Xiaoman, I'm back home." Jiang Zhixia called out a friend to settle the tea and snacks.
Because he was in a particularly good mood, Zhixia also gave the guy a few extra copper coins as a tip, which made the guy keep thanking him.
"Ah, don't you wait until it's dark today?" Xiaoman stood up in surprise and walked out with Zhixia.
In recent days, Jiang Zhixia has always taken Xiaoman to stroll on Feng'an Street in the morning, and in the afternoon, she orders a pot of tea and a few plates of snacks in the teahouse and sits until dark.
When Xiaoman asked, Zhixia said he wanted to find inspiration.
Xiaoman asked again, and Zhixia said she was looking for a livelihood.
After hearing this, Xiaoman didn't dare to ask too much. It's not necessary to say how important business is, no one will think that there is little money.
"Well, go home. My life has been found, girl." Jiang Zhixia Zhi said proudly and walked home.
When Jiang Zhixia returned home, she waved Xiaoman back, took a pen and started writing and drawing plans on paper.
Why did you forget this? You can open a bookstore. Maybe it should be a bookstore, a beverage store, and a stationery store.
In his previous life, Jiang Zhixia wanted to open a store by herself, selling books here and reading books, and selling flowers there. Unfortunately, she had no money...
She also applied for membership cards in a chain of bookstores many times.
If you spend money to buy a drink or pastry, you can have a seat in the coffee shop. This seat is not limited to time, and you can also go to the bookstore to read various books. Of course, you can buy books that you haven’t finished reading and read them home and hard.
In today's dynasty, all aspects are divided into relatively detailed aspects. Selling books means selling books, selling brushes and ink means selling brushes and ink, and selling drinks - uh, there are no places where drinks are sold here, and all kinds of fruit drinks are sold in wine shops.
In short, they are all sold separately, and there is no place to sell comprehensively.
Jiang Zhixia wanted to open a modern bookstore. She could sell books, brushes and ink, borrow books to read, and tea. In short, it was a place where you didn't need to go out to buy things when you came in.
Once you have an idea, you need to start planning.
First, I want to find a shop.
I just heard the scholar say that there is a pen and mo shop on Feng'an Street that is closed. I don't know if the shop is big or small? Is it sold or rented? It's best to sell. If she rents it, if she gets it done and someone comes to collect the shop, it's really a wedding dress for others. There are such things in modern society, not to mention in ancient times. If the shop on Feng'an Street is not suitable, you can also go to Beifang and Nanfang to find shops. Of course, the one on Feng'an Street is the best, it's close to home.
Secondly, it must be decorated well.
When decorating, you must distinguish the various areas. You need to sell books, places that specifically lend books, places that specifically drink tea and read books, and places that specifically sell pens and inks. This requires you to buy a shop and design it carefully.
Well, if this business is done, someone will probably be jealous? Can you give kindness to students? Nowadays, students may not be officials in the future. If you give kindness a little, you need to say anything else. It is okay to give kindness a little, right?
Although we have the blessing of the Weiwu Hou Mansion and Zhu Cuilou, wouldn’t it be better to have a double-layer blessing?
What's more, if you are poor, you will be able to protect yourself; if you are prosperous, you will be able to help the world.
She was alone in this world, and at first she just wanted to live a life. Inadvertently, selling patterns made her rich. Now, Zhu Cuilou has opened a branch again, and the future dividends will be much.
So, now that she has money, can she do something that she likes and is meaningful?
Then add a place where poor students can copy books. Let poor students help bookstores copy books, you can give them money, or let them replace pens or books? Think about how to do this at that time. To be kind, you can't hurt others' self-esteem. Well, some literati are even smaller than needle eyes. Don't let good things happen at that time, instead of getting a grudge.
However, you must not read for free and you can’t just give money. Although you have to be kind, you can’t be too kind.
There has been a saying since ancient times: To promote Mien, to fight against Mien.
If you give too much kindness and those who receive favors cannot repay you. Over time, some people will not only be unhappy, but will instead form pressure and resentment. In the past life, I watched too many such things in books and TV.
Again, looking for someone.
If you want to find an experienced shopkeeper, it’s okay for the shopkeeper to find a good one. It’s great if you like Mr. Xu. Unfortunately, you can meet a talent that is hard to come by.
Also, you have to find a supplier. You must choose a supplier with good quality and honesty. This is indeed a difficult task. It seems that you have to go out to collect information frequently.
Now I really have nothing but money.
