I opened a mall in ancient times
Chapter 90 Day 9 of Store Opening
The things in Luo Chaochao store are indeed cheap.
Especially the hot pot base, which Luo Chaochao thinks is the most valuable thing.Although a pack costs more than 100 Wen, if you eat stir-fried vegetables or noodles, you can eat it for more than a month, rounding up to five Wen per day, and you can still eat deliciously. As long as the conditions are good, the family will buy a pack as seasoning eat.
Those who have a little more space in their hands will buy some other food.
"This is your shop, right? A lot of people from Beidi have come to your shop to buy things recently." When getting off the carriage, the coachman sighed to Luo Chaoxi, "Make more money from foreigners!"
Luo Chaochao was amused by him: "Okay, I'll make more money from them."
After speaking, he paid for the carriage and got off.
There were many carriages parked in the narrow alley, and many people drove the carriages away, and were taken to the warehouse by the waiter in the shop, and moved forward slowly one after another.
Luo Chaochao walked through the dense crowd, thinking whether he should re-expand or divide the food store separately, otherwise, according to the flow of people, the alley would be blocked in a short time, and people outside could not get in. , the people inside can't get out, other stores in this alley will definitely have opinions.
as predicted.
Although Luo Chaochao's store can bring a considerable flow of people to this alley, once there are too many people, it will cause trouble.
There are more customers, and more raw materials need to be consumed. As a result, the alleys are so congested now that it is difficult for them to transport goods in and out. Naturally, there will be resentment after a long time.
So many people even affected the business of the barbecue shop.
Although some people would come to eat in the store at night, some people felt that they were in the way. Even though the taste was quite delicious, it really caused a lot of inconvenience to be placed on the first floor.
Luo Chaochao squeezed sideways into the store.It is a good thing that there are people coming and going in the store, but if it is a barbecue restaurant, it is not so pleasing to the eye.
Now this time is actually the time to prepare the daily ingredients. Before he focused on Daxing Street, the staff at this time of noon should be preparing the ingredients every night on a few tables in the corner of the first floor.
But now their fixed location has been removed. There are indeed many people on the first floor, but most of them have nothing to do with the barbecue restaurant. The people at the barbecue restaurant feel that they are in the way, so they move their work place to the kitchen.
The kitchen here is not big at all, and there are more than a dozen employees in charge of dine-in, filling the small kitchen to the brim.They don't even dare to go to the backyard to do it, because the backyard is also expropriated as a warehouse, and customers often come here to see the goods.
After more times, they stopped going to other places, but continued to make it in the kitchen.
It was nothing at all, at most it was wronged them.But in this way, occasionally the ingredients can't keep up with the consumption.
Especially when it officially opens at night.
Every day, old customers come to the store, and there are also foreign businessmen who come to the store to eat. They think the food in the store is delicious, so they stay for a meal, but there are fewer ingredients prepared during the day, and some are not enough at night. Occasionally It will happen that everyone here has ordered food, but the speed of serving the food is very slow.
Some foreign businessmen even choose to come here at night, which is the busiest time of the day for barbecue restaurants.These businessmen will feel that they are very obstructive, blocking their way in and out, and even feel that they are not doing their jobs properly.
But the people who do this are wronged.
Obviously they were the main business at the beginning, and the business of cooking kits and fast food was added by the boss later.But they also have to admit that if they were the only ones, it would be impossible for them to provide tens of thousands of taels of silver to the boss every month.
Their income is quite impressive on the outside, but it is still not enough to look at all the stores in Luochao Chao.
On the one hand, they feel that they are the old people at the beginning of this store, and they feel that they are right.After all, barbecue restaurants are not the main source of income for this restaurant, so they are naturally weak in this regard.
After going on for several months, even Bayu, who has always been good-tempered, felt that this would not work.In my heart, I still hope to go out independently and give the barbecue restaurant a quiet environment.
In addition, the guests who come to the barbecue restaurant also feel that such an environment is not convenient.
Everyone eats just to have fun, so why should they be judged by others.
Or some businessmen from foreign countries!
However, fortunately, the weather is getting colder now, and not many people are willing to go out to eat, so the impact is not too great.
But the impact is not too big, but it doesn't mean there is no. Bayu found that the regular customers who often appear in the past don't come very often, and worriedly planned to find a time to talk to Luo Chaoxi, but she found out about it twice before. Luo Chaochao went out to buy goods, and could only come back disappointed.
Luo Chaochao didn't know these things, but he could guess a little bit. Standing in the hall on the first floor and taking a glance, a little waiter saw him. for shopping.
The store later applied to recruit some new employees, but now they are very unfamiliar and do not know each other. Luo Chaoxi saw that there were no old employees he was familiar with on the first floor, so he said that he was here to find the manager.
Now the person in charge here is Banan's grandfather. He has passed the exams, can read and count, and is old and experienced, so he can handle some emergencies. Later, Luo Chaochao gave him full authority. He is also responsible for interviewing these people.
But now it seems that Banan's grandfather doesn't seem to have balanced the relationship between the food store and the barbecue restaurant.
"Are you looking for the manager to talk about big business?" Xiaoer asked cautiously, "Our manager has gone out and doesn't know when he will be back. If you have any needs, you can just tell us."
"Has Ba Shunshan gone out?"
Luo Chaoxi didn't expect to miss out, so he asked, "Is Bayu there?"
"Bayu is in charge, please wait a moment, I will ask."
Grandpa Banan has a good vision, at least the employees he recruited have a good attitude.He didn't look down on a person who didn't buy anything and said he wanted to see the manager.He turned around and went to the back kitchen to look for Bayu.
When Bayu heard that someone was looking for her, he took off his apron, washed all the oil stains on his hands, and then came out of the back kitchen.
That puzzled look suddenly lit up when he saw Luo Chaoxi again, and he saluted Luo Chaoxi slowly.That posture was completely different from the timid little girl in Luo Chao Chao's impression.
Although he has been working in the back kitchen, it can be seen that Bayu is living a good life recently. At least he can eat enough and wear warmth. Pretty little girl.Moreover, her grandfather also taught her to read and write. Every day besides work, she will take time to read.
Apart from saving a part of the money earned by their family as a reserve fund and a part to maintain daily life, the rest of the money is used to buy books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones.
Grandpa Ba plans to send his grandson to a private school after a while.
Girls couldn't go to private schools, so Grandpa Ba wondered if he could find a cheaper female teacher.In fact, he can be a teacher by himself, but usually the work in the store is too busy, and he is exhausted after work every day. He really has no time to teach his grandson and granddaughter.
Banan and Bayu also knew that their grandfather was too busy, so if there was anything they could solve by themselves, they would solve it by themselves, and they would never cause him any trouble.
"Master!" Bayu came up to meet him, "Why are you here? Grandpa said this morning that he wanted to ask you something."
"Did he look for me? When I came back this afternoon, I didn't see your grandpa."
"Then it should be delayed by something else. I'll be back in a while. What's the matter with you? The store is fine, so don't worry."
"I've been busy all this time, and I didn't take care of what I promised you before. Do you still want to separate out now?"
Originally, Bayu was still a little hesitant, thinking that it was good to be in the shop.Although I wanted to do this, I had some concerns in my heart and couldn't make up my mind.
Her thinking is still biased towards ancient women, and when she is not married, she listens to her father or other male elders in the family.After you get married, listen to your husband.But she is not married now, and her grandfather and younger brother encourage her to make her own choices and respect her ideas.
So at that time, she felt that she could work hard.
Later, the opportunity for Bayu to make up his mind was that the business in the store suddenly boomed. More and more customers came to the store.
After his employees complained to Bayu several times, Bayu finally strengthened his determination.
They want to go out independently again.
"Yes, I want to go out on my own." The teenage girl nodded earnestly, "I have improved a lot of dishes now, even if I can't make it as big as a restaurant, it will definitely be as big as it is now. No problem, I have also researched many new dishes, which are most suitable for eating in winter!"
Luo Chao Chao believed this.
Even with such a difficult living space, the income brought by Bayu and her staff to Luo Chaochao has not declined, and they have been relying on new dishes to retain customers.
Customers also often tell Bayu that if the food they cook can be divided into a separate store and specialize in restaurants, it will definitely attract more customers, and even open branches in other places. If the feedback is good, they can also open to Over there in the capital.
Seeing that Bayu already had his own thoughts, Luo Chaoxi nodded.
"Do you have a desired location? If there is no specific location, just open your new store near the main store. There is still a vacant store on Xingsheng Street."
"But that shop is really too big." Bayu naturally knew about this shop, had visited it before, and naturally knew that this shop had not been open for business since it was bought.
That's a shop even bigger than the current head office!
That shop is in the center of Kangzhou City, and the people I brought with me couldn't support such a big shop.
The head office couldn't use that place, how dare she use it!
And Bayu didn't think he could make it that big.Now that she can get the affirmation of her boss, being the manager of a store is beyond her imagination.
Life is already very good now, and Bayu doesn't dare to ask for too much.
Seeing that Bayu didn't want to go to the shop in the center, Luo Chaochao didn't force her, so he simply searched among the shops under his hands, and found a small shop on the second floor facing the street, which was originally a restaurant. Before that, I planned to re-do the cloth business or other daily necessities and cosmetics business.
It's just that the market in Connecticut City is already somewhat saturated, so there's no need to rush to open new stores, as it will not only divert sales, but the income may not be particularly good.
Now it’s just for Bayu, so there’s no need to redecorate, just replace some unsuitable furniture with new ones, clean it up and put up new signs.
Luo Chaochao also specially took Bayu to see the shop.
The location of this shop is even better than Nanluo Alley, just near the headquarters on Daxing Street, with an interval of less than 800 meters, but the position of the door is slightly narrow, with a width of only about seven or eight meters, an area of about 150 square meters, and three floors , is not very friendly to the catering industry, but the location is good, the flow of people is large, and the original signboard is still there, which can make up for such a shortcoming.
Even if there is no original signboard, the smell of the seasoning they use for cooking is quite attractive. Even if the depth of the house is very deep, the smell can spread out, and can attract passers-by at meal times.
Bayu liked this door very much, and when he saw this door, he happily touched the furniture in the shop.
"The things in the kitchen can be dismantled and replaced with those in the store. And the tables are not too clean, so they have to be replaced." After confirming that the store will be in charge by himself, Bayu has already started How do you want to redecorate, Luo Chaoxi saw that Bayu had an idea, so he gave her the key directly, "You are responsible for it yourself, you can decorate it as you like, as long as it doesn't differ too much from the decoration style of other stores."
Bayu naturally nodded.
She also feels that the decoration in the store is very comfortable now. The most important thing is that the layout of various furniture is already used, and there is no need to replace it with other ones.
Bayu came to take a look, then reluctantly locked the door, and returned to Nanluo Alley again.
Luo Chaochao and Bayu moved very fast, and Grandpa Ba hadn't even come back yet. Grandpa Ba didn't come back until Bayu's side had made a notice board, informing that the dine-in business would be suspended for a period of time and move.
"Boss! Why are you here when you're free?" Grandpa Ba couldn't help but took two quick steps when he saw Luo Chaoxi, "I heard from my colleagues at the main store that you're back, so I went to the store to find you."
"It's not a coincidence." Luo Chaoxi said with a smile.
"Then what's the matter with you today?" Grandpa Ba suddenly thought of this when he was happy, "Did I delay the matter?"
"That's not true. This time I came here mainly to find Bayu. Didn't I promise to open a new shop for her before? I came back from the outside today, and I happened to have some time, so I bought it for her by the way." Luo Chaoxi explained. After a while, "The storefront has been selected. It's on Daxing Street, less than 800 meters away from the main store. There's no need to decorate. Just change the layout and open for business."
Luo Chaoxi said again: "It was my negligence. I didn't consider the problem of the inability to integrate the customer flow of the two sides. I will open for another day tonight. When I check out, I will tell the customers that this place will be closed, and their store has moved."
"Here, Xiaoyu, why don't you hurry up and thank your boss?!" Grandpa Ba immediately pulled Bayu to kneel for Luo Chaoxi, and Bayu also wanted to kneel, but was pulled up by Xu Xu, "There's no need to do that." For these, just open the store and make money for me, Bayu, don't let me down, I look forward to your opening the store all over the whole country."
Bayu nodded vigorously when Luo Chaoxi said that he would open the store to the entire Sheng Kingdom, and infinite power surged in his body.
This feeling of being affirmed is really good, and Bayu even recalled the scene of her shop opening all over the whole country, making money for her boss and sharing her worries!
At that time, they will not be a burden!
"I will! I'll arrange it right away!" Ba Yu turned his head and went into the kitchen with all his strength.
"By the way, why are you looking for me?" Luo Chaoxizhi just remembered that Grandpa Ba had left the store to find himself.
"Actually, it's also because the two businesses in the store are too crowded." Grandpa Ba hurriedly said, "But if the boss has already resolved it, there will be nothing wrong."
"Is that so?" Luo Chaoxi felt that he still had nothing to say.
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you." Grandpa Ba said with a wry smile. "You have also seen the business of the food store during this period. The sales are very good, but when the convoys of the Western Regions and Beidi people stop at the door, they will block the way of other stores. It is okay when there is order, but some newcomers are not If you don’t understand the rules, the main road of the alley will be blocked, and you can’t get out, and someone is already looking for me.”
But this road is so wide, it is impossible for them to prevent customers from driving in their carriages, so they can only send someone to stop at the entrance of the alley, but it is not a problem if it continues like this.
It would be nice if the store could be opened at the entrance of an alley or near a wider street.
But this request is really unreasonable for Luo Chaoxi, the owner, and he dare not say it.
And Luo Chaochao's solution is also very simple and rude.
"Go and ask the store at the entrance of the alley if it is willing to sell the house."
As long as you have money, some problems are not a problem.
Grandpa Ba really didn't expect Luo Chaochao to use such a rough method, but he still responded, "I'll ask in a while."
"The psychological price is [-]% higher than the market price. Others should also ask. It would be great if you can buy a townhouse."
Directly open up to expand the area or something.
"If you can buy it, you don't need to open another branch, but the possibility is not high. I wonder if you have any suitable candidates to be the manager of the branch?" Luo Chaochao said straight to the point.
The two went to Luo Chaochao's office. Grandpa Ba closed the door and thought about it, but he was a little embarrassed.
"Actually, Mr. Shi Yibin can do it, but he is still studying in a private school. I'm not sure if he will agree, but if nothing unexpected happens, he probably won't."
Shi Yibin was the classmate who was introduced and hired to be the accountant.
Because the salary in the store is generous and there is plenty of time in normal times, he will be allowed to work and study part-time, and also provide him with a place to live.
He was able to be appreciated by Grandpa Ba, and his ability was naturally worth mentioning, but that was the problem.
Because he came here to work part-time and part-time, it doesn't matter for him to be an accountant. Anyway, he works wherever he is, and he doesn't have to take care of things. He just does the accounting. He usually comes out to deal with small things when Grandpa Ba is not around.
But if he was transferred to a branch to be the owner, he might not agree.
Scholars, farmers, businessmen, scholars, farmers, businessmen.
A businessman is at the bottom. A scholar coming here to be an accountant is already a feat for him to bear the strange eyes of other classmates. If he is asked to give up his studies and become a businessman, it will not be a strange sight, but a mockery of his self-willedness. depraved.
After all, he can still spare time to study as an accountant now. If he is not in charge of a store alone as an accountant, then he really has no time to study. In addition, the spring exam is coming, and it is absolutely impossible for Shi Yibin to be a branch for the exam. store manager.
This is also impossible.
"Aside from him, is there anyone else?" Luo Chaoxi could also understand Shi Yibin's thoughts, so he didn't force him, and continued to ask other candidates.
"Yes, there are, but I haven't been in touch for a long time, so I'm not sure if I can trust them." Grandpa Ba said, "I will pay attention as soon as possible. In fact, the main reason is that there are not many people in the store who are literate. , character is also good, but it is not suitable to be a store manager."
"You can learn if you can't read, then I'll send someone over at that time, you let those who are still able to learn, and then take over. Our scale will gradually expand, and then you will be responsible for the selection of good talents. If there is a suitable candidate, remember to report to the above.”
Luo Chaoxi simply asked the people on his side to do it.
However, Luo Chaoxi still went to ask Shi Yibin before sending someone. When Shi Yibin heard Luo Chaoxi ask him if he would like to become the manager of the new store, he subconsciously froze for a moment, as if he hadn't thought that such a thing would happen to him.
After all, he came here to do part-time work, not a regular worker in the store, but it is impossible to say that he has no nostalgia for the store.
Jiushui Supermarket is the best store he has ever stayed in. He has free time and the boss doesn't take much care of him.
He also raised his salary once, and now it is three or two months. This price is enough for his family to live on, and it is also enough for him to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and even save a little money for future exams.
Luo Chaochao offered him very good conditions, and the salary price of the branch manager was irresistible to anyone personally.But if all this is at the price of his future imperial examination path, then forget it.
Shi Yibin refused after careful consideration.
Just like what they were worried about, he chose scientific research between doing business and scientific research, even though the education in the northwest was far inferior to that in the capital.
Luo Chaochao was not surprised either, and asked other employees under his command to be responsible for the opening of a branch of the food store.They are all used to this kind of process, and after assigning people, they quickly arranged and organized them.
Soon, good news came from Nanluo Alley.
The door at the entrance of the alley agreed to sell the house, but the asking price was [-]% higher than the market price, and the other shops in Nanluo Alley heard that Luo Chaochao bought the shop at a high price, so they were also moved.
If they can sell the house at a price higher than the market price, they can use the money to buy a shop in a more prosperous place.
Luo Chaoxi is also very straightforward here, he can sell what he is willing to sell, and he can also give a suitable price. From what Luo Chaoti saw, he made up his mind and actually bought a shop on half a street directly. There is no need to change to other shops, just wait for people to move out, and open up all these buildings.
This is even more convenient.
The renovation started vigorously here, and the renovation of Bayu over there has also come to an end.Originally, it could be used with a little repair, without too many modifications, so it took about a week to reopen.
All the old customers clapped their hands and applauded immediately when they heard that the store had moved, and even some old customers who no longer came came to cheer when they heard that they had changed places.
They didn't want to come here at that time because the dining environment was too bad. Foreign businessmen often came in and out and disturbed their meals. Now that there are no annoying guys to disturb their meals, they will naturally come back.
In order to reopen Bayu, it took a lot of effort. In addition to the classic grilled skewers of their shop, they also put all the new dishes that have been researched during this period of time.
In the cold late autumn, there is nothing more attractive than the smell of meat at mealtime.
They opened this place quietly, but the crowds are full of customers and it is very lively.
Everyone was curiously inquiring about it, only then did they know that Boss Luo's original barbecue restaurant became independent and rebuilt a restaurant.
When everyone smelled the smell, it was really fragrant, so they went in after looking for it.
The current weather is not suitable for sitting outside and eating skewers. Everyone looked at the new dishes on the menu and simply asked the boss to serve the dishes they recommended.
Hot pot is naturally recommended in winter.
Nowadays, people are not used to gathering food together in one pot, so they use the method of sharing meals in two small pots for each person, and use alcohol blocks to maintain the heat.
The smell of butter and mushroom soup is extremely overbearing. It didn't take long for more and more people on the side of the road to come in after smelling the smell.
"Ba Yu did a good job." In the main store a few hundred meters away, the shop assistants couldn't help swallowing when they smelled the faint fragrance in the air.
"How many branches do you think this store can open?" Luo Chaochao asked Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.
"At least it's okay to open Kangzhou City this winter." Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai are very determined, "Aren't you going to visit Zhou Jiedushi?"
"He's gone on a business trip. I don't know when he'll be back." Luo Chaoxi took a sip of hot milk tea, "How's the beggar you're looking for?"
"Very well." Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai responded, "The merchants from Beidi also took the samples."
Altai is a businessman from Beidi.
In the past, he entered Sheng Kingdom from Sheng Kingdom to the northernmost point, but this time he chose to come from Kangzhou City.
The reason is very simple, he is going to Jiushui shopping mall.
Altai is a businessman from the Aoden tribe, one of the five major tribes in Beidi. His huge caravan is responsible for the purchase and import and export of the Aoden tribe. He is one of the most influential people in the Aoden tribe.
Originally, he didn't need to travel thousands of miles to come to Kangzhou City. The Aodeng tribe they were in was the closest to the northern end of Sheng Kingdom, and they usually wouldn't go around to the northwest.
But this time is different.
The chief of the tribe received the offerings from the tribe below, and there were things bought from this Jiushui, ranging from daily necessities to cosmetics, and the ladies and princesses in the tribe liked it very much.
It would be fine if they were all very expensive tributes, and they could use them at will, but the problem is that these things are not expensive, it is only because of the long distance that they become extremely expensive.
He is not the only traveling merchant in their tribe, and occasionally traveling merchants on the grasslands will come to their tribe to sell goods.
It was only then that Altai discovered that this tribute could actually be bought in bulk.
He thought immediately.
After finding out the address of this shop, he seized the time to take the caravan to Kangzhou City before it snowed and the tribe had not migrated.
Even though he had made good mental preparations before coming here, he was a little surprised by how lively the place was.
There are many merchants with the same purpose as Altai, and he even saw many familiar faces of merchants from other tribes here, and he recognized seventeen or eighteen of them, not to mention the local merchants from Sheng Kingdom And the merchants of the Western Regions, one can imagine how popular the things here are.
When he arrived at the store, he was dazzled by the dazzling array of goods to choose from. Fortunately, he brought a lot of money and picked out a lot of things this time. The cashier at the water supermarket introduced Jiushui cloth village.
Said that there are cold-resistant clothes and cheap fabrics there, so you can go and see if you need it.
It was in this strange Jiushui cloth village that he came into contact with something called a sweater.
Wool, of course they know, but in their tribe, wool is mostly used to make wool felt, and there is no way to wear it at all. Only the lowest slaves will wear clothes made of wool felt.
So he didn't pay attention to this sweater from the beginning. If the nobles knew that he was wearing woolen clothes, they would definitely be ridiculed, saying that he insulted the Oden tribe.
But Ao Deng is very interested in other cloth from Jiushui cloth village.
The price is much cheaper than other places, and there is also a very magical and very soft cloth called cotton cloth. He bought a lot depending on the situation, but he didn't touch the sweaters.
In the end, when he was paying the bill, Jiushui cloth shop actually stuffed him with a white sweater, and told him that it was for Beidi traveling merchants, so he could try it on before drawing conclusions.
At first, Altai snorted and didn't take it seriously, but when he returned to the inn where he lived with the goods, he opened the bag while counting the goods, and when he came across the sweater, he finally realized what he missed.
This was completely different from the rough wool felt he knew.
It is obviously made of wool, but this sweater is extremely soft. Although it is not light, it is undoubtedly much lighter than wool felt.
He didn't even dare to pinch it hard, the touch was even softer than that of a newborn lamb.
It can be seen that this sweater is a style worn by men. He struggled for a long time, vacillating between being ridiculed by others and being known by no one in Sheng Country. In the end, the latter defeated the former and quietly put away this sweater. Sweater, continue to count the goods.
At night, when he was alone in the inn, he finally took out the white sweater.
Altai made some mental preparations for himself again, then took off his outer clothes, and put this sweater on top of the clothes he took off.
He would only feel how soft the sweater was when he actually put it on, and he was afraid that his calloused hands would scratch the sweater.
And the gradually rising heat after putting on the sweater also made him aware of something, and it was only after he put on the coat that he accurately noticed the warmth.
He is not so cold anymore!
And he was just wearing a sweater!
and also……
Altai's eyes fell on another piece of clothing that was said to be called thermal autumn clothing. This time, he quickly put it on the innermost layer, then took off his jacket, lifted the quilt and lay down in the bed.
... so warm and lively!
In the past, in order to keep warm, they would wear a thick layer of fur inside. Not to mention that it is very heavy, and it is very uncomfortable to run around at night, and it will be very sleepy after sleeping.But the long johns are stretchy and tight-fitting, so sleeping under the quilt doesn't feel like being pressed down at all.
He slept like this all night, and when he woke up the next morning, his hands and feet were still warm!
Altai immediately understood the beauty of the sweater, and he went to the cloth store he had visited the day before the next morning, hoping to buy more long-wear and johns and sweaters, but the clerk told him very regretfully.
"The stock in the store is gone now, and people have been buying it for the past few days, and I haven't had time to make new ones."
"Is it so fast?!" Altai thought about it, and it was normal.
I can discover the mysteries of these things myself, there is no reason why others can't find out, it is not impossible to buy out the inventory before myself.
"There are other Jiushui Cloth Shops in Kangzhou City, and the affiliated counties below also sell them. If you don't mind, you can go and have a look below. If you can wait, you can also pay in advance and go to the factory to distribute the goods, and wait for the factory to make When there is a new batch of clothes, you will be notified to pick them up according to the order in which you ordered them.”
"Isn't it handmade?"
"Our textile factory has the latest technology and the production speed is very fast." The clerk explained.
"Then how long will it take for me to place an order and deliver it?"
"Estimated within a month."
"One month..."
Altai hesitated.
This time is too long. It will take about 20 days for them to return to the Aoden Tribe from Kangzhou City. If they delay here for another month, they will not be able to catch up with the time.
"By the way, have you tried cotton clothes? The heat preservation effect is also very good. You can also try them in Beidi."
Another thing he hadn't heard of.
Out of trust in this store, Altai still chose to give it a try.
After all, this store has given him too many surprises.
The simple style of black cotton clothes looks a little bulging after being patted softly. The rich people in Sheng Kingdom may think that the bulging is not very good-looking, but the people of Beidi are used to it. I don't mind this matter, but I think the style of the clothes is a bit strange, but I still try to wear them.
If wearing a sweater is the kind of warmth that slowly warms up, then the warming effect of cotton clothing can be said to be obvious.
If it weren't for the difficulty of obtaining down, Luo Chaochao would really like to make some down jackets.
The warmth effect is a must, and it is more suitable for cold places.
Altaïr had only put it on for a while, but he was so hot that he was sweating all over, he took it off immediately, and didn't say to put it back, after all, it was covered with his own sweat, so he directly asked: "Is this padded jacket still worth it?" how many?"
"There are still [-] pieces of cotton clothes in stock, how many do you need?"
"Give me... get five hundred pieces!"
"Hey, hey? How much is left? One thousand? We'll take one thousand and five!" He had just finished speaking when he heard a man shout from behind, speaking in Beidi dialect, but not their local accent. , but from other tribes.
He saw that the traveling merchant who ordered the remaining 1500 pieces turned out to be a merchant from the Baitu tribe, the second tribe!
Their tribe usually fights over who will be the first, but now they have their eyes on the same thing. Altaïr, who was originally rational, didn't want to hesitate at this time, and said directly, "I want all the two thousand!" !"
"First come, first served, do you understand? You only want 500 pieces, and the remaining 1500 pieces are ours!"
"I came first, you haven't paid the deposit yet, of course I can change the number temporarily."
Both of them are reasonable, anyway, they don't want to be at a disadvantage. Everyone knows that this is a good thing, so of course they want to buy more.
Among other things, it would be great to take this clothes back to reward the warriors in the tribe. Their tribe recuperates in winter, but it doesn't mean that all of them have to stay in the yurt.
In the grasslands in winter, there are not only cold winds and heavy snow, but also ferocious beasts that go out to look for food because of the cold and hunger.
The warriors of their tribe need to patrol outside every day, go hunting, and bring food to the tribe. Six out of twelve hours a day are outside. Dress thickly.It can't affect the activities too much, because if it is too thick and too heavy to affect the activities, it is very likely that you will not be able to fully use your hands and feet when you encounter danger, and then encounter danger.
In the past, when there was a lack of supplies, they would choose to launch a war and grab things from hostile tribes, but now everyone is recuperating and will not fight easily.
Although this padded jacket looks big, it is actually lighter than the leather they wear in autumn. Putting more clothes on it will not hinder the movement. Save some.
The owner of the cloth shop seemed to have expected this scene, so he stretched out his hands and pressed them very calmly, signaling to the people on both sides not to quarrel, "We will ship another batch of cotton clothes tomorrow, with a total of [-] pieces. Book in advance if necessary.”
"Where's the sweater? Where's the long johns?
Especially the hot pot base, which Luo Chaochao thinks is the most valuable thing.Although a pack costs more than 100 Wen, if you eat stir-fried vegetables or noodles, you can eat it for more than a month, rounding up to five Wen per day, and you can still eat deliciously. As long as the conditions are good, the family will buy a pack as seasoning eat.
Those who have a little more space in their hands will buy some other food.
"This is your shop, right? A lot of people from Beidi have come to your shop to buy things recently." When getting off the carriage, the coachman sighed to Luo Chaoxi, "Make more money from foreigners!"
Luo Chaochao was amused by him: "Okay, I'll make more money from them."
After speaking, he paid for the carriage and got off.
There were many carriages parked in the narrow alley, and many people drove the carriages away, and were taken to the warehouse by the waiter in the shop, and moved forward slowly one after another.
Luo Chaochao walked through the dense crowd, thinking whether he should re-expand or divide the food store separately, otherwise, according to the flow of people, the alley would be blocked in a short time, and people outside could not get in. , the people inside can't get out, other stores in this alley will definitely have opinions.
as predicted.
Although Luo Chaochao's store can bring a considerable flow of people to this alley, once there are too many people, it will cause trouble.
There are more customers, and more raw materials need to be consumed. As a result, the alleys are so congested now that it is difficult for them to transport goods in and out. Naturally, there will be resentment after a long time.
So many people even affected the business of the barbecue shop.
Although some people would come to eat in the store at night, some people felt that they were in the way. Even though the taste was quite delicious, it really caused a lot of inconvenience to be placed on the first floor.
Luo Chaochao squeezed sideways into the store.It is a good thing that there are people coming and going in the store, but if it is a barbecue restaurant, it is not so pleasing to the eye.
Now this time is actually the time to prepare the daily ingredients. Before he focused on Daxing Street, the staff at this time of noon should be preparing the ingredients every night on a few tables in the corner of the first floor.
But now their fixed location has been removed. There are indeed many people on the first floor, but most of them have nothing to do with the barbecue restaurant. The people at the barbecue restaurant feel that they are in the way, so they move their work place to the kitchen.
The kitchen here is not big at all, and there are more than a dozen employees in charge of dine-in, filling the small kitchen to the brim.They don't even dare to go to the backyard to do it, because the backyard is also expropriated as a warehouse, and customers often come here to see the goods.
After more times, they stopped going to other places, but continued to make it in the kitchen.
It was nothing at all, at most it was wronged them.But in this way, occasionally the ingredients can't keep up with the consumption.
Especially when it officially opens at night.
Every day, old customers come to the store, and there are also foreign businessmen who come to the store to eat. They think the food in the store is delicious, so they stay for a meal, but there are fewer ingredients prepared during the day, and some are not enough at night. Occasionally It will happen that everyone here has ordered food, but the speed of serving the food is very slow.
Some foreign businessmen even choose to come here at night, which is the busiest time of the day for barbecue restaurants.These businessmen will feel that they are very obstructive, blocking their way in and out, and even feel that they are not doing their jobs properly.
But the people who do this are wronged.
Obviously they were the main business at the beginning, and the business of cooking kits and fast food was added by the boss later.But they also have to admit that if they were the only ones, it would be impossible for them to provide tens of thousands of taels of silver to the boss every month.
Their income is quite impressive on the outside, but it is still not enough to look at all the stores in Luochao Chao.
On the one hand, they feel that they are the old people at the beginning of this store, and they feel that they are right.After all, barbecue restaurants are not the main source of income for this restaurant, so they are naturally weak in this regard.
After going on for several months, even Bayu, who has always been good-tempered, felt that this would not work.In my heart, I still hope to go out independently and give the barbecue restaurant a quiet environment.
In addition, the guests who come to the barbecue restaurant also feel that such an environment is not convenient.
Everyone eats just to have fun, so why should they be judged by others.
Or some businessmen from foreign countries!
However, fortunately, the weather is getting colder now, and not many people are willing to go out to eat, so the impact is not too great.
But the impact is not too big, but it doesn't mean there is no. Bayu found that the regular customers who often appear in the past don't come very often, and worriedly planned to find a time to talk to Luo Chaoxi, but she found out about it twice before. Luo Chaochao went out to buy goods, and could only come back disappointed.
Luo Chaochao didn't know these things, but he could guess a little bit. Standing in the hall on the first floor and taking a glance, a little waiter saw him. for shopping.
The store later applied to recruit some new employees, but now they are very unfamiliar and do not know each other. Luo Chaoxi saw that there were no old employees he was familiar with on the first floor, so he said that he was here to find the manager.
Now the person in charge here is Banan's grandfather. He has passed the exams, can read and count, and is old and experienced, so he can handle some emergencies. Later, Luo Chaochao gave him full authority. He is also responsible for interviewing these people.
But now it seems that Banan's grandfather doesn't seem to have balanced the relationship between the food store and the barbecue restaurant.
"Are you looking for the manager to talk about big business?" Xiaoer asked cautiously, "Our manager has gone out and doesn't know when he will be back. If you have any needs, you can just tell us."
"Has Ba Shunshan gone out?"
Luo Chaoxi didn't expect to miss out, so he asked, "Is Bayu there?"
"Bayu is in charge, please wait a moment, I will ask."
Grandpa Banan has a good vision, at least the employees he recruited have a good attitude.He didn't look down on a person who didn't buy anything and said he wanted to see the manager.He turned around and went to the back kitchen to look for Bayu.
When Bayu heard that someone was looking for her, he took off his apron, washed all the oil stains on his hands, and then came out of the back kitchen.
That puzzled look suddenly lit up when he saw Luo Chaoxi again, and he saluted Luo Chaoxi slowly.That posture was completely different from the timid little girl in Luo Chao Chao's impression.
Although he has been working in the back kitchen, it can be seen that Bayu is living a good life recently. At least he can eat enough and wear warmth. Pretty little girl.Moreover, her grandfather also taught her to read and write. Every day besides work, she will take time to read.
Apart from saving a part of the money earned by their family as a reserve fund and a part to maintain daily life, the rest of the money is used to buy books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones.
Grandpa Ba plans to send his grandson to a private school after a while.
Girls couldn't go to private schools, so Grandpa Ba wondered if he could find a cheaper female teacher.In fact, he can be a teacher by himself, but usually the work in the store is too busy, and he is exhausted after work every day. He really has no time to teach his grandson and granddaughter.
Banan and Bayu also knew that their grandfather was too busy, so if there was anything they could solve by themselves, they would solve it by themselves, and they would never cause him any trouble.
"Master!" Bayu came up to meet him, "Why are you here? Grandpa said this morning that he wanted to ask you something."
"Did he look for me? When I came back this afternoon, I didn't see your grandpa."
"Then it should be delayed by something else. I'll be back in a while. What's the matter with you? The store is fine, so don't worry."
"I've been busy all this time, and I didn't take care of what I promised you before. Do you still want to separate out now?"
Originally, Bayu was still a little hesitant, thinking that it was good to be in the shop.Although I wanted to do this, I had some concerns in my heart and couldn't make up my mind.
Her thinking is still biased towards ancient women, and when she is not married, she listens to her father or other male elders in the family.After you get married, listen to your husband.But she is not married now, and her grandfather and younger brother encourage her to make her own choices and respect her ideas.
So at that time, she felt that she could work hard.
Later, the opportunity for Bayu to make up his mind was that the business in the store suddenly boomed. More and more customers came to the store.
After his employees complained to Bayu several times, Bayu finally strengthened his determination.
They want to go out independently again.
"Yes, I want to go out on my own." The teenage girl nodded earnestly, "I have improved a lot of dishes now, even if I can't make it as big as a restaurant, it will definitely be as big as it is now. No problem, I have also researched many new dishes, which are most suitable for eating in winter!"
Luo Chao Chao believed this.
Even with such a difficult living space, the income brought by Bayu and her staff to Luo Chaochao has not declined, and they have been relying on new dishes to retain customers.
Customers also often tell Bayu that if the food they cook can be divided into a separate store and specialize in restaurants, it will definitely attract more customers, and even open branches in other places. If the feedback is good, they can also open to Over there in the capital.
Seeing that Bayu already had his own thoughts, Luo Chaoxi nodded.
"Do you have a desired location? If there is no specific location, just open your new store near the main store. There is still a vacant store on Xingsheng Street."
"But that shop is really too big." Bayu naturally knew about this shop, had visited it before, and naturally knew that this shop had not been open for business since it was bought.
That's a shop even bigger than the current head office!
That shop is in the center of Kangzhou City, and the people I brought with me couldn't support such a big shop.
The head office couldn't use that place, how dare she use it!
And Bayu didn't think he could make it that big.Now that she can get the affirmation of her boss, being the manager of a store is beyond her imagination.
Life is already very good now, and Bayu doesn't dare to ask for too much.
Seeing that Bayu didn't want to go to the shop in the center, Luo Chaochao didn't force her, so he simply searched among the shops under his hands, and found a small shop on the second floor facing the street, which was originally a restaurant. Before that, I planned to re-do the cloth business or other daily necessities and cosmetics business.
It's just that the market in Connecticut City is already somewhat saturated, so there's no need to rush to open new stores, as it will not only divert sales, but the income may not be particularly good.
Now it’s just for Bayu, so there’s no need to redecorate, just replace some unsuitable furniture with new ones, clean it up and put up new signs.
Luo Chaochao also specially took Bayu to see the shop.
The location of this shop is even better than Nanluo Alley, just near the headquarters on Daxing Street, with an interval of less than 800 meters, but the position of the door is slightly narrow, with a width of only about seven or eight meters, an area of about 150 square meters, and three floors , is not very friendly to the catering industry, but the location is good, the flow of people is large, and the original signboard is still there, which can make up for such a shortcoming.
Even if there is no original signboard, the smell of the seasoning they use for cooking is quite attractive. Even if the depth of the house is very deep, the smell can spread out, and can attract passers-by at meal times.
Bayu liked this door very much, and when he saw this door, he happily touched the furniture in the shop.
"The things in the kitchen can be dismantled and replaced with those in the store. And the tables are not too clean, so they have to be replaced." After confirming that the store will be in charge by himself, Bayu has already started How do you want to redecorate, Luo Chaoxi saw that Bayu had an idea, so he gave her the key directly, "You are responsible for it yourself, you can decorate it as you like, as long as it doesn't differ too much from the decoration style of other stores."
Bayu naturally nodded.
She also feels that the decoration in the store is very comfortable now. The most important thing is that the layout of various furniture is already used, and there is no need to replace it with other ones.
Bayu came to take a look, then reluctantly locked the door, and returned to Nanluo Alley again.
Luo Chaochao and Bayu moved very fast, and Grandpa Ba hadn't even come back yet. Grandpa Ba didn't come back until Bayu's side had made a notice board, informing that the dine-in business would be suspended for a period of time and move.
"Boss! Why are you here when you're free?" Grandpa Ba couldn't help but took two quick steps when he saw Luo Chaoxi, "I heard from my colleagues at the main store that you're back, so I went to the store to find you."
"It's not a coincidence." Luo Chaoxi said with a smile.
"Then what's the matter with you today?" Grandpa Ba suddenly thought of this when he was happy, "Did I delay the matter?"
"That's not true. This time I came here mainly to find Bayu. Didn't I promise to open a new shop for her before? I came back from the outside today, and I happened to have some time, so I bought it for her by the way." Luo Chaoxi explained. After a while, "The storefront has been selected. It's on Daxing Street, less than 800 meters away from the main store. There's no need to decorate. Just change the layout and open for business."
Luo Chaoxi said again: "It was my negligence. I didn't consider the problem of the inability to integrate the customer flow of the two sides. I will open for another day tonight. When I check out, I will tell the customers that this place will be closed, and their store has moved."
"Here, Xiaoyu, why don't you hurry up and thank your boss?!" Grandpa Ba immediately pulled Bayu to kneel for Luo Chaoxi, and Bayu also wanted to kneel, but was pulled up by Xu Xu, "There's no need to do that." For these, just open the store and make money for me, Bayu, don't let me down, I look forward to your opening the store all over the whole country."
Bayu nodded vigorously when Luo Chaoxi said that he would open the store to the entire Sheng Kingdom, and infinite power surged in his body.
This feeling of being affirmed is really good, and Bayu even recalled the scene of her shop opening all over the whole country, making money for her boss and sharing her worries!
At that time, they will not be a burden!
"I will! I'll arrange it right away!" Ba Yu turned his head and went into the kitchen with all his strength.
"By the way, why are you looking for me?" Luo Chaoxizhi just remembered that Grandpa Ba had left the store to find himself.
"Actually, it's also because the two businesses in the store are too crowded." Grandpa Ba hurriedly said, "But if the boss has already resolved it, there will be nothing wrong."
"Is that so?" Luo Chaoxi felt that he still had nothing to say.
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you." Grandpa Ba said with a wry smile. "You have also seen the business of the food store during this period. The sales are very good, but when the convoys of the Western Regions and Beidi people stop at the door, they will block the way of other stores. It is okay when there is order, but some newcomers are not If you don’t understand the rules, the main road of the alley will be blocked, and you can’t get out, and someone is already looking for me.”
But this road is so wide, it is impossible for them to prevent customers from driving in their carriages, so they can only send someone to stop at the entrance of the alley, but it is not a problem if it continues like this.
It would be nice if the store could be opened at the entrance of an alley or near a wider street.
But this request is really unreasonable for Luo Chaoxi, the owner, and he dare not say it.
And Luo Chaochao's solution is also very simple and rude.
"Go and ask the store at the entrance of the alley if it is willing to sell the house."
As long as you have money, some problems are not a problem.
Grandpa Ba really didn't expect Luo Chaochao to use such a rough method, but he still responded, "I'll ask in a while."
"The psychological price is [-]% higher than the market price. Others should also ask. It would be great if you can buy a townhouse."
Directly open up to expand the area or something.
"If you can buy it, you don't need to open another branch, but the possibility is not high. I wonder if you have any suitable candidates to be the manager of the branch?" Luo Chaochao said straight to the point.
The two went to Luo Chaochao's office. Grandpa Ba closed the door and thought about it, but he was a little embarrassed.
"Actually, Mr. Shi Yibin can do it, but he is still studying in a private school. I'm not sure if he will agree, but if nothing unexpected happens, he probably won't."
Shi Yibin was the classmate who was introduced and hired to be the accountant.
Because the salary in the store is generous and there is plenty of time in normal times, he will be allowed to work and study part-time, and also provide him with a place to live.
He was able to be appreciated by Grandpa Ba, and his ability was naturally worth mentioning, but that was the problem.
Because he came here to work part-time and part-time, it doesn't matter for him to be an accountant. Anyway, he works wherever he is, and he doesn't have to take care of things. He just does the accounting. He usually comes out to deal with small things when Grandpa Ba is not around.
But if he was transferred to a branch to be the owner, he might not agree.
Scholars, farmers, businessmen, scholars, farmers, businessmen.
A businessman is at the bottom. A scholar coming here to be an accountant is already a feat for him to bear the strange eyes of other classmates. If he is asked to give up his studies and become a businessman, it will not be a strange sight, but a mockery of his self-willedness. depraved.
After all, he can still spare time to study as an accountant now. If he is not in charge of a store alone as an accountant, then he really has no time to study. In addition, the spring exam is coming, and it is absolutely impossible for Shi Yibin to be a branch for the exam. store manager.
This is also impossible.
"Aside from him, is there anyone else?" Luo Chaoxi could also understand Shi Yibin's thoughts, so he didn't force him, and continued to ask other candidates.
"Yes, there are, but I haven't been in touch for a long time, so I'm not sure if I can trust them." Grandpa Ba said, "I will pay attention as soon as possible. In fact, the main reason is that there are not many people in the store who are literate. , character is also good, but it is not suitable to be a store manager."
"You can learn if you can't read, then I'll send someone over at that time, you let those who are still able to learn, and then take over. Our scale will gradually expand, and then you will be responsible for the selection of good talents. If there is a suitable candidate, remember to report to the above.”
Luo Chaoxi simply asked the people on his side to do it.
However, Luo Chaoxi still went to ask Shi Yibin before sending someone. When Shi Yibin heard Luo Chaoxi ask him if he would like to become the manager of the new store, he subconsciously froze for a moment, as if he hadn't thought that such a thing would happen to him.
After all, he came here to do part-time work, not a regular worker in the store, but it is impossible to say that he has no nostalgia for the store.
Jiushui Supermarket is the best store he has ever stayed in. He has free time and the boss doesn't take much care of him.
He also raised his salary once, and now it is three or two months. This price is enough for his family to live on, and it is also enough for him to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and even save a little money for future exams.
Luo Chaochao offered him very good conditions, and the salary price of the branch manager was irresistible to anyone personally.But if all this is at the price of his future imperial examination path, then forget it.
Shi Yibin refused after careful consideration.
Just like what they were worried about, he chose scientific research between doing business and scientific research, even though the education in the northwest was far inferior to that in the capital.
Luo Chaochao was not surprised either, and asked other employees under his command to be responsible for the opening of a branch of the food store.They are all used to this kind of process, and after assigning people, they quickly arranged and organized them.
Soon, good news came from Nanluo Alley.
The door at the entrance of the alley agreed to sell the house, but the asking price was [-]% higher than the market price, and the other shops in Nanluo Alley heard that Luo Chaochao bought the shop at a high price, so they were also moved.
If they can sell the house at a price higher than the market price, they can use the money to buy a shop in a more prosperous place.
Luo Chaoxi is also very straightforward here, he can sell what he is willing to sell, and he can also give a suitable price. From what Luo Chaoti saw, he made up his mind and actually bought a shop on half a street directly. There is no need to change to other shops, just wait for people to move out, and open up all these buildings.
This is even more convenient.
The renovation started vigorously here, and the renovation of Bayu over there has also come to an end.Originally, it could be used with a little repair, without too many modifications, so it took about a week to reopen.
All the old customers clapped their hands and applauded immediately when they heard that the store had moved, and even some old customers who no longer came came to cheer when they heard that they had changed places.
They didn't want to come here at that time because the dining environment was too bad. Foreign businessmen often came in and out and disturbed their meals. Now that there are no annoying guys to disturb their meals, they will naturally come back.
In order to reopen Bayu, it took a lot of effort. In addition to the classic grilled skewers of their shop, they also put all the new dishes that have been researched during this period of time.
In the cold late autumn, there is nothing more attractive than the smell of meat at mealtime.
They opened this place quietly, but the crowds are full of customers and it is very lively.
Everyone was curiously inquiring about it, only then did they know that Boss Luo's original barbecue restaurant became independent and rebuilt a restaurant.
When everyone smelled the smell, it was really fragrant, so they went in after looking for it.
The current weather is not suitable for sitting outside and eating skewers. Everyone looked at the new dishes on the menu and simply asked the boss to serve the dishes they recommended.
Hot pot is naturally recommended in winter.
Nowadays, people are not used to gathering food together in one pot, so they use the method of sharing meals in two small pots for each person, and use alcohol blocks to maintain the heat.
The smell of butter and mushroom soup is extremely overbearing. It didn't take long for more and more people on the side of the road to come in after smelling the smell.
"Ba Yu did a good job." In the main store a few hundred meters away, the shop assistants couldn't help swallowing when they smelled the faint fragrance in the air.
"How many branches do you think this store can open?" Luo Chaochao asked Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.
"At least it's okay to open Kangzhou City this winter." Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai are very determined, "Aren't you going to visit Zhou Jiedushi?"
"He's gone on a business trip. I don't know when he'll be back." Luo Chaoxi took a sip of hot milk tea, "How's the beggar you're looking for?"
"Very well." Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai responded, "The merchants from Beidi also took the samples."
Altai is a businessman from Beidi.
In the past, he entered Sheng Kingdom from Sheng Kingdom to the northernmost point, but this time he chose to come from Kangzhou City.
The reason is very simple, he is going to Jiushui shopping mall.
Altai is a businessman from the Aoden tribe, one of the five major tribes in Beidi. His huge caravan is responsible for the purchase and import and export of the Aoden tribe. He is one of the most influential people in the Aoden tribe.
Originally, he didn't need to travel thousands of miles to come to Kangzhou City. The Aodeng tribe they were in was the closest to the northern end of Sheng Kingdom, and they usually wouldn't go around to the northwest.
But this time is different.
The chief of the tribe received the offerings from the tribe below, and there were things bought from this Jiushui, ranging from daily necessities to cosmetics, and the ladies and princesses in the tribe liked it very much.
It would be fine if they were all very expensive tributes, and they could use them at will, but the problem is that these things are not expensive, it is only because of the long distance that they become extremely expensive.
He is not the only traveling merchant in their tribe, and occasionally traveling merchants on the grasslands will come to their tribe to sell goods.
It was only then that Altai discovered that this tribute could actually be bought in bulk.
He thought immediately.
After finding out the address of this shop, he seized the time to take the caravan to Kangzhou City before it snowed and the tribe had not migrated.
Even though he had made good mental preparations before coming here, he was a little surprised by how lively the place was.
There are many merchants with the same purpose as Altai, and he even saw many familiar faces of merchants from other tribes here, and he recognized seventeen or eighteen of them, not to mention the local merchants from Sheng Kingdom And the merchants of the Western Regions, one can imagine how popular the things here are.
When he arrived at the store, he was dazzled by the dazzling array of goods to choose from. Fortunately, he brought a lot of money and picked out a lot of things this time. The cashier at the water supermarket introduced Jiushui cloth village.
Said that there are cold-resistant clothes and cheap fabrics there, so you can go and see if you need it.
It was in this strange Jiushui cloth village that he came into contact with something called a sweater.
Wool, of course they know, but in their tribe, wool is mostly used to make wool felt, and there is no way to wear it at all. Only the lowest slaves will wear clothes made of wool felt.
So he didn't pay attention to this sweater from the beginning. If the nobles knew that he was wearing woolen clothes, they would definitely be ridiculed, saying that he insulted the Oden tribe.
But Ao Deng is very interested in other cloth from Jiushui cloth village.
The price is much cheaper than other places, and there is also a very magical and very soft cloth called cotton cloth. He bought a lot depending on the situation, but he didn't touch the sweaters.
In the end, when he was paying the bill, Jiushui cloth shop actually stuffed him with a white sweater, and told him that it was for Beidi traveling merchants, so he could try it on before drawing conclusions.
At first, Altai snorted and didn't take it seriously, but when he returned to the inn where he lived with the goods, he opened the bag while counting the goods, and when he came across the sweater, he finally realized what he missed.
This was completely different from the rough wool felt he knew.
It is obviously made of wool, but this sweater is extremely soft. Although it is not light, it is undoubtedly much lighter than wool felt.
He didn't even dare to pinch it hard, the touch was even softer than that of a newborn lamb.
It can be seen that this sweater is a style worn by men. He struggled for a long time, vacillating between being ridiculed by others and being known by no one in Sheng Country. In the end, the latter defeated the former and quietly put away this sweater. Sweater, continue to count the goods.
At night, when he was alone in the inn, he finally took out the white sweater.
Altai made some mental preparations for himself again, then took off his outer clothes, and put this sweater on top of the clothes he took off.
He would only feel how soft the sweater was when he actually put it on, and he was afraid that his calloused hands would scratch the sweater.
And the gradually rising heat after putting on the sweater also made him aware of something, and it was only after he put on the coat that he accurately noticed the warmth.
He is not so cold anymore!
And he was just wearing a sweater!
and also……
Altai's eyes fell on another piece of clothing that was said to be called thermal autumn clothing. This time, he quickly put it on the innermost layer, then took off his jacket, lifted the quilt and lay down in the bed.
... so warm and lively!
In the past, in order to keep warm, they would wear a thick layer of fur inside. Not to mention that it is very heavy, and it is very uncomfortable to run around at night, and it will be very sleepy after sleeping.But the long johns are stretchy and tight-fitting, so sleeping under the quilt doesn't feel like being pressed down at all.
He slept like this all night, and when he woke up the next morning, his hands and feet were still warm!
Altai immediately understood the beauty of the sweater, and he went to the cloth store he had visited the day before the next morning, hoping to buy more long-wear and johns and sweaters, but the clerk told him very regretfully.
"The stock in the store is gone now, and people have been buying it for the past few days, and I haven't had time to make new ones."
"Is it so fast?!" Altai thought about it, and it was normal.
I can discover the mysteries of these things myself, there is no reason why others can't find out, it is not impossible to buy out the inventory before myself.
"There are other Jiushui Cloth Shops in Kangzhou City, and the affiliated counties below also sell them. If you don't mind, you can go and have a look below. If you can wait, you can also pay in advance and go to the factory to distribute the goods, and wait for the factory to make When there is a new batch of clothes, you will be notified to pick them up according to the order in which you ordered them.”
"Isn't it handmade?"
"Our textile factory has the latest technology and the production speed is very fast." The clerk explained.
"Then how long will it take for me to place an order and deliver it?"
"Estimated within a month."
"One month..."
Altai hesitated.
This time is too long. It will take about 20 days for them to return to the Aoden Tribe from Kangzhou City. If they delay here for another month, they will not be able to catch up with the time.
"By the way, have you tried cotton clothes? The heat preservation effect is also very good. You can also try them in Beidi."
Another thing he hadn't heard of.
Out of trust in this store, Altai still chose to give it a try.
After all, this store has given him too many surprises.
The simple style of black cotton clothes looks a little bulging after being patted softly. The rich people in Sheng Kingdom may think that the bulging is not very good-looking, but the people of Beidi are used to it. I don't mind this matter, but I think the style of the clothes is a bit strange, but I still try to wear them.
If wearing a sweater is the kind of warmth that slowly warms up, then the warming effect of cotton clothing can be said to be obvious.
If it weren't for the difficulty of obtaining down, Luo Chaochao would really like to make some down jackets.
The warmth effect is a must, and it is more suitable for cold places.
Altaïr had only put it on for a while, but he was so hot that he was sweating all over, he took it off immediately, and didn't say to put it back, after all, it was covered with his own sweat, so he directly asked: "Is this padded jacket still worth it?" how many?"
"There are still [-] pieces of cotton clothes in stock, how many do you need?"
"Give me... get five hundred pieces!"
"Hey, hey? How much is left? One thousand? We'll take one thousand and five!" He had just finished speaking when he heard a man shout from behind, speaking in Beidi dialect, but not their local accent. , but from other tribes.
He saw that the traveling merchant who ordered the remaining 1500 pieces turned out to be a merchant from the Baitu tribe, the second tribe!
Their tribe usually fights over who will be the first, but now they have their eyes on the same thing. Altaïr, who was originally rational, didn't want to hesitate at this time, and said directly, "I want all the two thousand!" !"
"First come, first served, do you understand? You only want 500 pieces, and the remaining 1500 pieces are ours!"
"I came first, you haven't paid the deposit yet, of course I can change the number temporarily."
Both of them are reasonable, anyway, they don't want to be at a disadvantage. Everyone knows that this is a good thing, so of course they want to buy more.
Among other things, it would be great to take this clothes back to reward the warriors in the tribe. Their tribe recuperates in winter, but it doesn't mean that all of them have to stay in the yurt.
In the grasslands in winter, there are not only cold winds and heavy snow, but also ferocious beasts that go out to look for food because of the cold and hunger.
The warriors of their tribe need to patrol outside every day, go hunting, and bring food to the tribe. Six out of twelve hours a day are outside. Dress thickly.It can't affect the activities too much, because if it is too thick and too heavy to affect the activities, it is very likely that you will not be able to fully use your hands and feet when you encounter danger, and then encounter danger.
In the past, when there was a lack of supplies, they would choose to launch a war and grab things from hostile tribes, but now everyone is recuperating and will not fight easily.
Although this padded jacket looks big, it is actually lighter than the leather they wear in autumn. Putting more clothes on it will not hinder the movement. Save some.
The owner of the cloth shop seemed to have expected this scene, so he stretched out his hands and pressed them very calmly, signaling to the people on both sides not to quarrel, "We will ship another batch of cotton clothes tomorrow, with a total of [-] pieces. Book in advance if necessary.”
"Where's the sweater? Where's the long johns?
