Sheng Qingyuan asked innocently: "What do you think the peasant women need to emphasize?"

"You'd better take a look at these things first." Zuo Mang said with full of arrogance on his face.

Sheng Qingyuan was unmoved, "I appreciate your kindness, but the women don't need it, so I'd better take it back."

Zuo Mang looked ugly, glanced at the guards next to him, and said angrily: "Are they all dead?! Do you want me to teach you what to do?!"

The guards immediately opened these boxes, revealing the gold and silver jewelry inside the boxes, as well as all kinds of gorgeous jewelry.

Zuo Mang had a proud look on his face, he was already prepared for Sheng Qingyuan to show shock and joy.

It's just that Sheng Qingyuan just glanced at it lightly and didn't look more. His expression was also very calm, and there was no ecstasy or excitement that Zuo Tang had expected.

However, the smile on Zuo Mang's face slowly disappeared as Sheng Qingyuan became calm.

Zuo Mang refused to give up and said: "This is only a small part. As long as you are willing to divorce your current husband and marry me, you can have better and more things than these, and you will have endless enjoyment."

Prosperity and wealth."

Sheng Qingyuan was not moved at all, "Thank you for your love, sir. It's just that a commoner woman feels that no matter how precious gold, silver and jewelry are, they can't compare to a commoner woman's husband. With him, even if she just lives an ordinary life, she will still be able to

Very happy."

"How dare you refuse me for a poor scholar?!" Zuo Mang said through gritted teeth.

He had already asked someone to find out. Sheng Qingyuan did indeed have a husband. The two got married in a small mountain village. Her husband was a scholar with no future.

This was also a major reason why he was determined to let Sheng Qingyuan marry him.

But unfortunately, this dead woman didn't even give her any face.

Sheng Qingyuan looked calm but very determined, "No matter what his status is, to me, he is my husband, that's all."

After Sheng Qingyuan finished speaking, she stood up and gave a faint salute to Zuo Mang, "The civilian woman has other things to be busy with, so I'll take my leave first."

After finishing his words, Zuo Mang left without waiting for any reaction.

Her gesture made Zuo Mang furious. The gorgeous jewelry placed on the table suddenly became an eyesore, and he swung them all to the ground.

Zuo Mang's eyes flashed fiercely, and his fists were clenched.

No matter what your status is, even if your life is ordinary, you still have to live with that poor scholar?!

He thought it was because their childhood was so fulfilling that Sheng Qingyuan dared to say these words without shame.

He didn't believe that if they had nothing, she could still care so little about glory and wealth!

"Come here!" Zuo Mang ordered in a cold voice.

Du Shujun showed the bills of the past few days to Sheng Qingyuan, frowned slightly and said, "The business of Tianxiang Tower, Zhuxinfang, and Zhushanfang has dropped a lot in the past few days."

Sheng Qingyuan looked through it and asked, "What's the reason?"

She expected that the business of Zhushanfang and Zhuxinfang would drop somewhat after the people got used to the novelty. However, judging from the reputation of these shops, the turnover should not drop so much all at once.

"Zuo Mang." Du Shujun directly reported Zuo Mang's name.

Sheng Qingyuan paused while looking through the account book, then closed it, with a pale expression, "I understand."

"What are you going to do next? How about I take people to beat up those who try to steal business?!" Du Shujun clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.

Seeing him like this, Sheng Qingyuan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, "Aren't you from a famous family? It's not in line with your temperament to beat him up every now and then."

Du Shujun: "...then tell me, what should I do to suit my temperament?"

"You don't have to do anything. Just do business how you usually do business." Sheng Qingyuan said calmly.

Du Shujun quickly understood what Sheng Qingyuan meant, "Do you want them to give up and fight because they can't persist because they hurt others with their own nature?"

"Not bad." Sheng Qingyuan smiled and nodded.

head.

In fact, she has heard a little bit in the past few days that Shopkeeper Tian's Xianpinlou has launched dishes similar to Tianxianglou, and the price is slightly lower than Tianxianglou...

Su Wei's Bamboo Carving Shop also followed the same method, shamelessly stealing the styles of the bamboo carvings in her shop, with only a few slight differences in details, and then selling them at a lower price than in her shop.

No customer is willing to spend more. In addition, Sujia and Xianpinlou are both old stores and have much longer experience than the stores in Shengqingyuan. Customers will naturally be more willing to go to the other stores.

Du Shujun then analyzed to Sheng Qingyuan: "In this way, Tianxianglou may be a way out. After all, the price of Tianxianglou is not high, but the consumption of staff and ingredients is fixed. If the price of Xianpinlou is lower than that of Tianxianglou,

If it is low, then they work hard and busy, but in the end there is only one word "busy". But the situation in Zhuxinfang is different. The cost of bamboo carving is not high. Even if its price is lower, it can still make a profit.

"

"The prices at Suwei's are actually not much lower than ours," Sheng Qingyuan said thoughtfully.

Du Shujun said: "It's about 10% cheaper."

Sheng Qingyuan stroked her chin, "It's about 10%, which is indeed a lot cheaper for ordinary people. However, for those who can afford bamboo carvings, it's probably not less than 10%. They don't care.

It’s more of a bamboo carving style.”

"Do you have any idea?" Du Shujun asked her.

"What do you think if I hold an exhibition and auction all the bamboo sculptures on display?" Sheng Qingyuan asked with a smile.

Du Shujun thought about it seriously and said, "This is a good idea. Maybe you can give it a try."

"Okay, let's make arrangements then." Sheng Qingyuan said with a smile.

"What about Zhushanfang? Many people in Zhushanfang have said they want to unsubscribe." Du Shujun asked again.

Zhushanfang's profits are not high, and it follows the route of small profits but quick turnover. Most of its sources of income come from large orders placed by wealthy families or restaurants.

"Let the guys do some things that don't take up much space first. You can also make some parts first. As for whether they can be sold, don't worry, just do it first." Sheng Qingyuan said calmly.

Then, Sheng Qingyuan added: "I will prepare some more recipes for Tianxiang Tower. The prices are affordable and the dishes are delicious. I don't believe the guests will be unwilling to come."

Du Shujun accepted her method, "You can do this, but in the next period, the profits will not be as good as before. You have to be prepared for this."

Sheng Qingyuan smiled and said, "You should know that we are not short of money now."

Du Shujun: "…………"

Zhuxinfang is a gold-eating beast. In just a short period of time, it has already made a lot of money. Even if it does nothing for the next year, it will still be enough for the Shen family to eat and drink well.

Not to mention, Shen Zhao also brought back many shops. Most of those shops are old shops that have been operating seriously for many years. Old shops that can persist are certainly not bad.

There are still tenants renting in Zhuangzi outside the city, and they also pay rent regularly, which is their income.

It can be said that they are indeed quite wealthy now. If it weren't for Sheng Qingyuan and Shen Zhaolan, they could have bought a bigger house.

"Okay, as long as you don't care." Du Shujun said helplessly, spreading his hands.

As soon as the two of them finished talking, Lao Wang came to Shen's Mansion and said to Sheng Qingyuan with a bit of anxiety on his face: "My boss, several apprentices have submitted their resignations today."

Du Shujun subconsciously looked at Sheng Qingyuan.

These masters are the core of Zhuxinfang and Zhushanfang. As long as they are still there, it is just a matter of marketing methods to revive them.

But if they leave, then no matter how beautiful the marketing methods are, it will just be a bubble.

Sheng Qingyuan asked Lao Wang: "Is any master shaken?"

Lao Wang shook his head, "Don't worry, boss, we will never leave."

If there were no owners, they wouldn't be where they are now.

The boss healed their injuries so that they could recover

Normal people live like normal people and are given such a good job. How ungrateful must they be to betray their employer?

Sheng Qingyuan smiled happily, "If they want to leave, let them leave and pay them one month's wages. As long as you are still willing to stay, that's enough for me."

Lao Wang solemnly assured Sheng Qingyuan: "Don't worry, boss, we will never leave."

After saying that, Lao Wang was a little reluctant, "Boss, they are leaving, why do you still need to give them money?"

"A little money is the last bit of dignity." Sheng Qingyuan said softly.

Lao Wang sighed: "My boss is so kind."

"Then I won't disturb my boss, and I'll go and get busy first." Seeing Sheng Qingyuan being so confident, Lao Wang felt relieved.

"Are you really doing it for the so-called respectability?" Du Shujun asked curiously.

"They will never receive such good treatment after they leave Zhuxinfang. From now on, let them take this little money and regret it." Sheng Qingyuan said with a slight smile on his face.

Du Shujun silently gave Sheng Qingyuan a thumbs up.

In Zuofu, Zuo Mang asked Lin Shuang, "How is the business at Shengqingyuan these days?"

"It's much worse than before." Lin Shuang replied.

Zuo Mang nodded with satisfaction, "So how is Sheng Qingyuan now? Does she have a sad face?"

Lin Shuang hesitated for a moment and said, "It should... yes."

Zuo Mang frowned: "If you have it, you have it, if you don't have it, you don't have it. What does it mean that it should be there?"

Lin Shuang said bravely: "She, she doesn't seem to have changed on the surface, and she still goes to the hospital as normal every day. However, her business has suddenly dropped so much. I believe she must be panicking in her heart, but she doesn't Dare to show it."

"Is it really so indifferent?" Zuo Mang frowned tightly.
