Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

Afterwards, the two of them picked out a maid with management experience and kept her in the Qin's courtyard as a housekeeper. Four efficient maids stayed in the Qin's courtyard as first-class maids, and the housekeeper made decisions and arranged daily affairs for the others.

Two maids were also assigned to Qingli to take care of her daily life.

Just as everything was arranged, a servant from the mansion came over to invite Qin and Qinghe to the conference room to discuss things.

Qin and Qinghe arrived at the meeting room, and everyone stood up to greet them.

After everyone was seated, Shangguan Jing spoke first:

"Madam, He'er, we are going to settle down in Daxia now. The butler just told me about the shops under the name of the palace.

Now, the palace has a cloth shop, a restaurant, a grocery store, a rouge shop, and several other shops that have been rented out.

I think now that we are back, we should make use of these shops.

So I came to you to discuss how to utilize these stores.”

"How is the store's current profit?" Qinghe asked.

“The business of the cloth shop is good, but the other operations are not very good, so we need to make good plans.

Dad wants to use these shops to do business." Shangguan Jing folded his hands on the table, looking serious.

Qing He thought for a moment and said:

"Dad, I have an idea. Our store in Dasheng is doing well, so why not open some branches in Daxia?"

For example, as for the cloth shop, my mother is most familiar with our garment business. I can provide you with the most popular fabric styles and clothing design drawings.

As long as mom wants to do it, we can open it in Daxia. Considering the popularity of clothing stores in Dasheng, it will definitely be no worse in Daxia."

Qin nodded and said, "He'er, this idea is very good, but opening a branch store is not easy, it requires careful planning."

Baili Ye continued:

“As for restaurants, the Yue Lai Restaurant that Xiao He and I opened previously has 140 branches in Dasheng. The dishes, wines, and dim sum in these restaurants are all provided by Qing He.

The restaurant business of the palace can be renamed Yuelai Restaurant. Qinghe will be responsible for providing the dishes in the future, and we only need to find a reliable chef. "

Chu Lao Si said, "That's great, then what about the grocery store and rouge shop?"

Qing He thought about it and responded:

“The grocery store can bring in some of Daxia and Dasheng’s novelties, daily necessities, and food, and put them all in the store.

As long as people can use things in their daily life, they can buy them here, just like a market, but with many varieties of products, it can be called a supermarket. "

Qin asked curiously:

"Supermarket, that's a very fancy name. If you can buy everything you need at once, it will save you a lot of time and trouble."

"Mom is right, but this store requires a good location and a large store. It would be best if the store has several floors. As for the rouge store, we should bring all the products from our Dasheng rouge store here and sell them."

Shangguan Jing nodded slightly and said, "This idea is novel, but how to implement it still needs careful consideration."

Qing He continued:

“Dad, your daughter thinks that the store can be divided into zones, with different types of goods placed in different areas.

Some areas can be used to place all kinds of fresh food, such as fruits, vegetables, cakes, meat, etc., which can be clearly displayed;

There are also some areas that can be divided into daily necessities areas, where pots, pans, cloths, silks, needles, threads, spices, etc. are displayed in an orderly manner;

There is also a novelty area, which displays small special items from Daxia and Dasheng, such as exquisite wood carvings, small sachets, etc.

You can also set up an area for daily tools, with hoes, sickles, brooms, etc.

In short, anything that people need can be sold in the supermarket.

We only need to assign someone to be responsible for management and shopping guidance, so that customers can quickly find what they need and finally check out and leave.”

Baili Ye nodded and said, "This plan is feasible, but the purchase and storage of goods must also be properly arranged, and there must not be any shortages or backlogs."

Chu Lao Si touched his chin and said, "It sounds quite novel to me, but if we want to run this store, I'm afraid we need to prepare a lot of things. This way of buying also needs to be promoted well so that everyone can be familiar with what the supermarket does."

Qing He smiled and said, "Fourth Uncle is right. We can put up a large poster at the entrance of the store, stating the characteristics and advantages of the supermarket."

Everyone nodded and began to discuss the specific implementation plan.

After a while, Shangguan Jing said:

“Now that the general direction has been decided, let’s go check out the specific conditions of the store to see if it’s suitable for the business we want.

Qinghe and Ye'er will have to rush back to Dasheng before the New Year. If the supermarket's address is not suitable, we will have to look for a new store address.

In short, everyone should do their part and implement the plan as soon as possible.”

Everyone responded in unison: "Okay!"

Afterwards, they went to various stores to check the situation.

They first came to the cloth shop, where the cloth was arranged in a mess and the styles were not new enough.

Qin frowned and said:

"The layout of this cloth shop needs to be improved. The cloth categories should be clearer and more fashionable patterns should be added. These patterns are not as good-looking as those in our clothing store in Dasheng."

Qinghe nodded in agreement:

"Mom is right, the business is best before the New Year.

Let’s first change the fabric patterns to the styles of the clothing store over at Dasheng, and put some ready-made clothes here, as well as the mascots, suits, and bedding customized for the Year of the Tiger in the store, and try to make some money before the New Year.”

Qin patted her daughter's hand and said with a smile:

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'm thinking of renovating this store after the New Year to make it more like the style of Dasheng."

"Mom is right. After the New Year, Aye and I will come to help you."

"Okay, my dear daughter." Qin smiled from ear to ear.

Then they came to the restaurant, which had few customers and looked a bit old.

The restaurant owner came forward and asked, "Dear guests, would you like to eat in the lobby or in the private room?"

Butler Zhang stepped forward and said:

"You are so ignorant. This is our boss, Prince Jing, Princess Jing, Princess and son-in-law, that is, Prince Chen of Dasheng."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately knelt down and bowed, "I pay my respects to the prince, princess, princess and Prince Chen. I didn't know the masters were coming, so I failed to greet them in person. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"No problem. We came here today to see how the business is going and try out some of the dishes."

The shopkeeper replied:

"The restaurant's business has been taken away by the newly opened restaurant across the street. The income has dropped. Masters, please follow me to the private room for some tea and snacks."

Qing He looked around and said:

"No need, let's sit in the lobby and take a look at the store. Bring out the signature dishes and specials."

"Yes, princess. I'll go and give the order right away." After saying this, the shopkeeper left quickly.
