The whole family traveled through ancient times to start a new business

The hot and sour noodle shop has been completed. It is not very big, just like a stall. A wall has been built between it and the Lan Hui Fang next door, completely isolating it.

The Su family planned to hire someone from Zhou Lizheng's family to run the hot and sour noodle shop. Zhou Lizheng's two daughters-in-law and his grandchildren could handle it.

Su An Dong had already talked to Zhou Lizheng about it. Zhou Lizheng immediately agreed. This was to take care of their family and bring them along. How could he not know what was good and what was bad? Of course he agreed.

In addition to the wages paid to the Zhou family, the Su family also gave an additional 20% of the profits. At first, Su Anton told Zhou Lizheng that the profit was 30%, but Zhou Lizheng thought it was too much, so he only accepted 20% in the end.

The rest of the Su family had no objection to this. First, Zhou Lizheng was their uncle and had always taken good care of their family. Second, the cooking methods were all Zhou Huilan's idea, so what was wrong with her taking care of her mother's family?

Zhou Huilan has already taught Li Hongmei and Zhou's two sisters-in-law how to make hot and sour noodles. But without chili peppers, it feels like something is missing. Fortunately, there are Sichuan peppercorns, otherwise the taste would be even worse.

Chili peppers can actually be replaced by dogwood, but dogwood is not grown here. It is sold, but the price is not low, much higher than Sichuan peppercorns. Hot and sour rice noodles are not a precious food, so using expensive spices would be uneconomical.

In fact, Su Andong opened a hot and sour noodle shop not only to open a shop, but also to sell sweet potato noodles. He hoped that others would follow his example and open a hot and sour noodle shop. In this way, his sweet potato noodles would have a market.

At this point, everything is ready and we are just waiting to open.

In the evening, the Su family gathered together for a meeting after dinner.

Zhou Huilan said, "I think we can't handle the kitchen of Shaguoju by ourselves, so we still need to hire two people to do odd jobs. Also, if you are worried, you can buy two people to work in the kitchen. It's better to buy two people who have some cooking skills, regardless of gender. We can't let the eldest brother, the second brother, and the second sister-in-law be trapped in the kitchen all the time. I think we still have to learn how to manage the store, and we can let go of some things appropriately."

Old Madam Su nodded in agreement and said, "Huilan is right. Don't be stubborn. You should have a long-term vision. It is important to learn how to manage a store. Tomorrow, you should go to the brokerage to see if there is anyone suitable. If not, tell the broker our requirements and ask him to keep an eye on us."

Su An Dong added, "It doesn't mean you have to buy a cook. It doesn't matter if he can't cook. Just buy him and teach him! I think character is the most important thing. The person you buy should be honest."

Su Ankang agreed, "Don't worry, Third Brother. I understand what you mean. I will go to the dental clinic tomorrow."

Su An Dong said: "It will open the day after tomorrow. We are almost ready. Next, I will tell you about our opening."

Next, Su Anton decided on the opening reward.

During the first three days of the opening, Sandpot House offered a 30% discount. During the first half month of the opening, every 1 tael of silver spent would receive a free portion of altar meat.

In addition to these, ten days before the opening, the Su family also planned to set up a tasting stall at the door for everyone to taste. However, the amount of each tasting must be controlled, just for people to taste the flavor. The daily tasting points must also be set in advance, and they will stop when they are all gone.

But if you really encounter those shameless people who are greedy for petty gains and queue up again and again. The Su family does not intend to take any measures against this. It is inevitable to encounter such people. In order to open the business smoothly, you can only ignore these trivial matters.

Su Yuanyuan had already drawn a poster for Shaguoju and planned to post it at the door. In order to attract attention, the poster was very eye-catching, and it clearly stated various matters related to the opening ceremony.

The opening promotion for the hot and sour noodle shop is that the first ten customers every day in the first ten days of the opening will receive a bowl of hot and sour noodle for free, and the customer must eat it in the store.

Su Yuanyuan also drew a poster.

After deciding these, the Su family went back to their rooms to sleep. They would make adjustments for another day tomorrow, and the restaurant would officially open the day after tomorrow.

As for Zhou Huilan's own store, in the first three days of opening, if you buy three items, you will get one free. The price of the free item must be lower than the lowest price of the three items. On the fourth and fifth days of opening, if you buy five items, you will get one free. The price of the free item must also be lower than the lowest price of the five items.

Apart from these, Zhou Huilan does not plan to do anything else for Lan Hui Fang. She thinks that a clothing store still needs to look good and have good quality in order to attract customers.

Su Yuanyuan also drew some small flyers for each store, planning to distribute them on the street when the stores opened the day after tomorrow.

The flyers mainly rely on pictures to attract attention, and people here are always interested in things with bright colors.

Su Yuanyuan put a lot of thought into these flyers and even asked Su Guoguo and Su Miaomiao to help.

The next morning, Nianchun found Zhou Huilan and expressed his desire to go to Lanhuifang to help and try to seize the opportunity.

Nianchun was very smart. She knew who was in charge of this matter, so she did not go to ask Old Lady Su for help, but went directly to Zhou Huilan.

Zhou Huilan said bluntly: "You should know that we are a ready-made clothing store. We not only have women's clothing, but also men's clothing. Even if you try to avoid them, you will inevitably encounter male customers. I'm afraid it's not convenient for you, an unmarried girl." Zhou Huilan hired a male assistant, but it was inevitable that there would be some contact. Moreover, even if there was no contact, outsiders probably wouldn't think so.

According to Zhou Huilan's own opinion, she naturally doesn't care about these things. But after all, living in such a society, she can't use her own ideas to measure right and wrong. So some things should be made clear to others in advance. After all, this society is more harsh on women.

After hearing this, Nianchun said, "I know all this. It's okay. Don't worry, I won't affect the business of the store."

Zhou Huilan hesitated for a moment and continued, "You may not care about these things, but you are not married after all. I am afraid that if you work in the shop, it will affect your future marriage."

Nianchun said firmly, "Don't worry, it's okay. If the other party doesn't dare to marry me because of this, I don't want to marry that kind of person."

Zhou Huilan looked at the stubborn girl and continued, "You two sisters have been in our family for a year and have always been very obedient. I can see that you are both good children. I might as well tell you something first. Our plan is that as long as you sisters stay like this, when the day comes that you want to leave the Su family, we don't plan to charge you two sisters for selling your bodies."
