All-round way to money

"I'll live in Linfu Residence."

Walked roughly around the palace, looked at all the courtyards that could accommodate people, and Chen Fu focused on taking the main courtyard and the west courtyard.Of course the main courtyard lives with the prince and the princess. Isn’t this the two princesses? The one who occupies the East Courtyard, he deliberately took a look at the West Courtyard.Seeing that Princess Chu didn't show any signs of moving in, she took another look at other places.As a result, Chu Ran fell in love with Linfuju.

This place is not big, just a separate small courtyard, five main rooms, three wing rooms on the left and right, two small gatehouses on each side of the gate, a square small courtyard.It is located in the northwest corner of the palace, adjacent to the garden of the palace, not far from the big kitchen.The reason why Chu Ran fell in love with it was that there was a corner door in the backyard, and the back alley of the palace was just outside the corner door.After walking 60 meters in the alleyway, turn a corner, which is Main Street. This Yuanbao Street is close to the imperial city, and people living on both sides are either high-ranking officials or dignitaries. After leaving Yuanbao Street, turn two streets, which is Fangshi Street.It is the most prosperous business district in Beijing, and it is very lively.

If she wants to do business, she has to be closer to the business district.This is already the most convenient place to come and go in the palace.And it's a separate yard.Originally it was built to be a guest house, but there has been no owner in the mansion, so the guest house is meaningless.No one lived there before.

"Okay, Chen Fu, then you arrange someone to clean the yard, and then move my study to the East Wing. My wife and I will live here. The West Wing will also be cleaned up, so Ning Xin can live there when she comes back." Xiao Yu arranged for someone Work, ready to move.In fact, there was nothing to move. When they came back, they didn't bring many things. The study here was moved from the things that the original body had used before it disappeared.

Chen Fu felt that Wang Ye's behavior was very strange, "My lord, you should live in the main courtyard..."

He is the chief steward of the palace, if he thinks it is inappropriate, he should persuade him.

Xiao Yu glanced at him, "I didn't say I don't need the main courtyard, and I will treat guests and handle government affairs over there in the future. I can't live without my wife here every day. What? Is what I say not useful? You still need to ask for instructions master?"

Chen Fu was so frightened that he bowed to the end, "The villain dare not."

Chu Ran added another sentence at this moment, "Steward, I just want to say one thing, if there is even a little bit of news about the affairs of the palace, you, the housekeeper, don't do it." It is a manifestation of the level of the trousers, don't be so loose that it leaks air like someone's waistband. What the owner of the front foot said, the back foot half-slacks all know.She can't see it at all.

Chen Fu didn't expect that it was Chu Ran who said this. He looked up at Chu Ran, and immediately lowered his head, "Yes."

He is a man from the palace, and he used to serve the second prince. Mu Wanru came to the palace after the emperor ascended the throne, and it hasn't been a year since he was full of money.To say that the big housekeeper is loyal to someone, who belongs to him, as long as he is not stupid, he will know that this is Prince Ning's mansion, and Prince Ning is the real master.If it is not about who he is, then he is not the emperor's person, but also the empress dowager's person.Certainly not Mu Wanru's person.If the emperor could really hand over Ruoda's palace to Mu Wanru without leaving behind, then he would have been tricked to death long ago, and why should he be on the throne.

It doesn't matter who it is, since Chen Fu can sit in the seat of the chief steward of the palace, he will know what to do.Before Chu Ran said this, he felt all kinds of disgust in his heart and looked down on him, but he was a servant, so he was not qualified to judge the master's family. If he didn't like it, he had to do his job well.As soon as Chu Ran said this, he really wanted to see it.These words are not like the insight that a village woman can have.Thinking about it again, this person in the county town has no one to rely on, no one to rely on, and I heard that the restaurant is the boss, and he can deal with all kinds of teachings. Could it be that he has no experience?Thinking about it this way, I regretted it in my heart, and my attitude became more respectful.Immediately ordered someone to tidy up the yard.

The sanitation has been maintained well before, just change the curtains and make the bed.It was packed before dinner and we were able to move in.

It was also the first day for the prince to return to the mansion. Before dinner, the second housekeeper came to ask for instructions and asked the prince and concubine to order with the menu.Neither of them ordered. Chu Ran said to try the small kitchen. It was too much. He cooked in the small kitchen in the backyard by himself, and the dishes were delivered by the kitchen.Everyone was trembling, afraid that what they did was wrong.

"It's okay. I'm afraid that you may poison the food. It has nothing to do with you. The prince hasn't eaten the food I cooked for a long time. Anyway, he is idle. You will do it in the future." Chu Ran comforted the steward of the kitchen very bluntly. A daughter and two are in charge, almost crying when the food is delivered.

Well, when she said that, the two in charge wanted to cry even more.The concubine's temper is really cool, this kind of master should be easy to serve, right?

Just after getting settled here, Mu Wanru came with someone again, and Chu Ran went back straight away, "It's okay, don't bother, look at your body, half of your life will be gone if you come here, if you get tired again, you will die anyway." Yes, I don't want to take the blame. The palace is so big. If you want to see the prince, you can think of other ways. Don't come to my place to embarrass me in person. We have nothing to do with each other. How should you manage it? Don't ask me, I can't ask you. We'd better see you if we can. When I see you dressed like this, my heart beats. What if you make me depressed again? I still have to do business. Hey hey hey, stop, stop, hold back your tears, I don't like you, even if I cry to death, I can't feel sorry for you, don't waste your golden beans. Go back quickly, don't come again .I'm just a deadhead. I can't let you have sex with the prince in my small courtyard, right? Go, go, go. You servants, why are you so stupid? Hurry up and help your master go back Huh? What’s wrong? If she died here, it’s because I killed someone, so you’re not responsible for it?”

With this scolding, Miss Mu probably won't come here if she wants to save face, right?If she came over with a stern face, then her virtuous persona would collapse.

After scolding Mrs. Mu away, the couple can have a good meal.As soon as they were placed on the bowls and chopsticks, Chen Fu came in with dozens of people dressed as servants, and asked the two to choose who to serve.

Choose what to choose, people can use it casually without combing through it.

"I have someone I'm used to at home, and it will be here tomorrow. Don't use it for now, let's talk about it later." Chu Ran didn't want it.

Xiao Yu ordered a few old people he recognized who had served Yuanchen before to stay. He planned to take a few days to see if he had changed his mind.If not, you have to go to the palace to ask the emperor to borrow someone.

What Chu Ran said was also true.

The next day, people from my hometown arrived.This is the person Chu father sent a letter to the Chu family village to ask for it from the village head before deciding to go to Beijing.

Everyone in the county has errands, and they have to help Aunt Chu's family stabilize the stall, so they can't leave.Everyone is from the Chu family village, so if you come to the capital, you can't do without someone around you.Chu's father and Chu's mother were prepared by Xiao Yu, and the people were all chosen by him, so don't worry.On the Wangfu side, Xiao Yu has just arrived, so everyone from his hometown has come to follow Chu Ran.

Not many people came, just five.One is the granddaughter of the village chief, who is also of the same clan as Chu Ran, named Qiuyu, who was just fifteen.Chu Ran didn't understand why the village chief asked her to come. He wanted his granddaughter to practice in the capital and find a good husband's family.It's not difficult.Let Qiuyu follow her first and be a personal maid.Everyone in the Chu family village practiced martial arts, so it was no problem for Qiuyu to run business with her.

There is also a young couple, Goudaner and his wife, Vanilla.Goudan is also in her twenties, and she has just been married for half a year. Vanilla is not an outsider. She is the granddaughter of the Wang family in the village.Life in the husband's family was not as good as in the mountains, and they were afraid that bringing a child would affect her father's remarriage, so they sent her back to the Wang family.She grew up in the village since she was a child, and she has also studied and practiced martial arts. She is a neat little daughter-in-law.They are all regarded as Chu Ranyuan's childhood, and there is no such thing as believable.

There are two other family uncles, Chu Ran, who is in his 30s, is called Uncle Lin, and Chu Ran, who is in his 40s, is called Uncle Gen.They are all brothers of Father Chu's clan, and they are important figures in the village who can take matters into their own hands.This is specially to stand up and cheer for Chu Ran, people outside can manipulate, and with such people around in the mansion, they will not be easily bullied.

Uncle Lin Shugen was arranged in the guest house, and he was treated as a guest.Goudaner followed Xiao Yu to run errands and guard.Xiang Cao took care of the sanitation in the yard and watched the servants clean it.

The reason why they came two days late was that they brought three carts of medicinal materials with them.

Chu Ran had no intention of stopping the braised pork business.I left the ingredients for half a year in the county, prepared the last medicinal material before leaving, and told Aunt Chu the ratio.Those who are sold out will be transferred to the capital.She still needs toppings.

There are plenty of empty houses and yards in the palace.Just find one and use it.The prince has the final say on this matter, and no one else can control it.

The restaurant business will not be done again, let's see in the future.Not making much money, worrying a lot.She can't get out, and before she finds a suitable person, forget it.

Just open a stewed meat shop.If there are real objects to advertise, the package will sell better!

It's still the Chu family's business to do this, which shows that we don't forget our roots.

After thinking about it, Chu Ran started to take Qiuyu and Uncle Lin Shugen out for shopping every day.Find a shop.When he found a suitable jade seed material, he bought it back and used it for Xiao Yu's carving.He has no students to teach now, apart from looking at the accounts in the mansion and arranging how to operate the outside industries, that is to sort out the palace.When I had nothing to do, I started to sculpt again.

It is impossible to go up to court.

He goes into the palace once a day to pay his respects to the queen mother, sometimes when he meets the emperor and the emperor scolds him for not being aggressive, he just hums and listens, and when asked to go to court, he says that his legs and feet are inconvenient and he is inferior.Or say yes, turn around for various reasons, just not to go.The emperor dotes on his own younger brother, so he can't do anything to him.Anyway, looking at it every day is quite idle.Except for entering the palace, basically stay in Linfuju, do not go out.Visitors came, not one out of ten.I will go back to the main courtyard to see you.Mu Wanru thought of many ways to meet him in the mansion, but she never met him, and she couldn't go when he was meeting with guests in the main courtyard.At other times, she was in the east courtyard and Lin Fu lived in the northwest, so it was impossible to catch up with her.Besides, she wouldn't do such frivolous things.It is even more impossible to meet that in the garden, the prince will not go to the garden.

Chu Ran wandered outside for a long time, and was gradually recognized by more and more people.She just greeted people, like an old relative whom she hadn't seen much.When you see a candy seller, tell them, oh, I know your candy, my daughter is talking about it when she sees the sky.When I saw someone selling fire, I told them that my lord likes your fire the most.I can catch up with anyone.The family saw that the three of them really had the same style.Just chatting, when I leave, I will take a little home-sold one, it's not worth anything, it's a meaning.A family of two, every day when they go out and come back, Uncle Lin Shugen has to carry a bunch of them.Then go out early the next morning, and take the tofu ground by myself, and send two yuan to each person's family, which is a return gift.The tofu was grinded by the guy in the kitchen. Seeing that they were too free, I found something to do.There are no Yushui stones in the water, it is just ordinary tofu, but it is made by the palace, and those who get the tofu feel like they are eating tribute.For those who do business, don't worry about big and small business, it's all about welcoming customers and making money.They are all happy to make friends with Chu Ran like this.

Hearing from Chu Ran that he wanted to find a shop to open a stewed meat shop, everyone was very active in helping to inquire.If there is a courageous aunt who thinks she has a good relationship with Chu Ran, she will ask, Princess, do you still need to do business to earn money to support your family?Such a big industry as the Wangfu.Chu Ran just said, we have nothing to do, and we don’t care about our family. We live for free and always feel inferior. It’s not that we can’t earn it ourselves. If we earn it back, even if we don’t need it, we don’t feel at ease.This can be said to have reached my aunt's heart, who can come out to do business, who is not a strong woman?Those who want to earn money to support their families, and those who are the directors of the family, think about how miserable their lives will be if they suddenly stop earning pennies?I feel more and more that the princess is really not far from the common people.

The power of the masses is the strongest. With the help of these local snakes, they can find out where there are shops for sale or rent, which location is good, and whether there is anything wrong with the shop.Soon, Chu Ran bought a small shop with two floors and two fronts on Fangshi Street. There was no yard, it was just a two-room retail store.In fact, one room is enough, not as big as the one just right.

I bought it and redecorated it. The facade has been turned into a counter. There are always three large counters, two for braised meat, one for sauced meat, and the braised meat counter also sells ingredients and packages, and does not accept diners.Inside is the kitchen, with a long stove, full of ten largest pots, and it also has the functions of a warehouse and woodshed.Half of the second floor is filled with material bags.Half of them are given to the clerks, and people cannot be separated from the shop, and at night they have to watch that the stove fire cannot be extinguished.

The meat is ordered directly from the butcher shop.They were all neighbors, and Chu Ran could not offend anyone. One of the five shops ordered a whole pig first and then added all the leftovers.Having said that, let's compare and see, which one is easier to use in the end.Concubine Ning's business, who dares to give something bad, let alone buy it at the market price, even if you don't give money, even the tribute will be happy to pay the tribute.

Butcher shops are very good at handling things, and they only deliver the meat and offal after they are cleaned up.At the beginning, the sauce was bought from outside, and it was introduced by the neighbors. It is definitely the best sauce shop in Beijing. After Chu Ran tasted it, the taste was good, so he ordered it directly, and he will not make it himself in the future.The medicinal materials in the package are also ordered by reputable pharmacies.

This shop is a little difficult, there is no well, and the water has to be pumped from the only deep well in Fangshi Street.There are ten big water tanks alone, and two men are needed to pull water every day.She put stagnant water stones in each tank, as if they were pressed against the bottom of the tank, and they were put in every tank, and no one thought there was any problem.

The day before the opening, the meat was put into the pot, and it was simmered all night on low heat, and all the lo mei went into the meat.In the middle of the night, the fragrance woke up half the people on the street.It opened the next day, and knowing the news, most people in the capital were curious to see what Princess Ning's shop was like.The people in the capital city have different pockets than those in the county. No matter how poor they are, they can still afford it for two catties.If you are reluctant to buy meat, it is also good to buy some pork trotters in marinated sauce.Those who were in a hurry, tasted it on the spot, and almost lost their tongues, but it was so amazing that I had to buy some of them that I didn't want to buy.Five whole pigs plus more than [-] pairs of pigs were sold out in less than an hour.If you can't buy meat, you can buy ingredients and cook it yourself.The taste is definitely not as good as the one in the store, but it is the taste.

On the first day of opening, it closed for a total of one hour before and after.After calculating the account, I earned 300 taels of silver.It is pure profit after all costs are removed.Of course, the main benefit of this is the material package. Except for Chu Ran himself, no one else knows how much it costs.

The capital is really different.

In the afternoon, each butcher shop delivered three whole pigs, nearly fifty pigs.The reason why there are so many is that they borrowed from the stewed meat shop, and the people who bought the ingredients bought the meat and went back to make it.In the evening, I packed up the cooking pot, opened the next morning, and all sold out in the morning.Earned 800 taels.

Chu Ran has been sitting on the second floor for the past two days and did not come forward directly.On the second day, I told Uncle Lin Shugen that from now on, there will be fifteen whole pigs per day, as many pigs are put into the water, until they are sold out.The material package is only sold for one morning.

In the afternoon, clean up, process raw materials, and rest.

The guys seemed to be grateful for something, how can there be such a good employer, the wages are high, and the work is not enough.Tell people good things about the Lord's house everywhere.

When the mansions start to send people to the store to buy meat, the business will be easy.The large population of high-ranking and big families is not short of money, and they are bought for half a pig.Don't be afraid that after the initial heat, you will get tired of eating it and won't be able to sell it.With the signboard of Prince Ning's Mansion, there is no such thing as forced buying and selling, and no one comes to collect taxes. The money earned is really similar to robbery.

After sorting things out, Chu Ran didn't go to the store much.Leave it to Uncle Lin to take care of it.The two of them are not staying in the store, so they go to have a look in the morning and collect the bill in the evening to finish the work.

Chu Ran spends more time packing ingredients in the courtyard of the palace, living a happy life.
