After dinner, Fubao and Jiang Pei Jiangyun went to see the shop.
The shop has been laid out. It is located facing the street and has a long shape. Four or five adults can stand inside without any problem.
There is a shed set up outside, and tables and chairs can be placed underneath.
Jiang Pei said proudly: "How about Fubao? Isn't this place nice?"
Fu Bao nodded: "That's right, but we need to recruit workers. There needs to be one person in the shop boiling the soy milk and tofu curd, and spreading sugar to fill the bowls. There also needs to be at least one person busy in the shed outside. Where will the workers come from?"
Jiang Yundao: "It's simple. We have contacted the workers and they said that the price is generally fifteen cents a day with rice, and twenty-five cents a day without rice."
This is also the market price that Brother Jiang Pei only found out after asking the snakehead. This kind of tea and water delivery does not require knowledge, and generally the labor cost is not high. But if it is a cashier, etc., it will not be this price. There are also docks, etc.
For men who work as coolies in the local area, the price will be higher.
The accountant can wait from one tael to several taels of silver a month. The average coolie is 50-80 taels a day.
Fubao nodded, "Since our daily income is only this, if we want to do our business, the pricing must be appropriate."
Jiang Yun also nodded: "That's right. I think a bowl of bean curd costs fifteen cents, but the price is still a bit high. I'm afraid it's not attractive."
You know, nowadays people can have steamed buns or big pancakes for breakfast if they want it cheaply, and it only costs a few pennies.
Tofu curd is delicious, but it’s not very filling!
Not to mention soy milk, even sugar water is not enough.
It’s okay for everyone to come here for a meal once in a while, but my wallet won’t be able to bear it if I eat it for a long time.
Fubao said: "It's okay, let's try it first as a bowl of beans costs ten cents and a bowl of soy milk costs five cents."
Jiang Pei and Jiang Yun looked at each other, "But if this is the case, how long will it take for the cost of our shop to be recovered?"
Fu Bao waved his hand, "It doesn't matter even if the soy milk and tofu puddings don't make money, just increase the customer flow in the shop. When there are more people, we can promote new products later."
Jiang Pei and Jiang Yun were hesitant, but still agreed with Fubao's words.
Fu Bao is always smart anyway, so they just follow suit.
Make a good plan, go home and sleep for a few carrot heads, and study tomorrow.
Fu Bao's schedule is the same as that of his two brothers, with daily enlightenment and a break at noon.
I can rest seven days a month.
In the evening, she studied Taoism and meditated with Qingying.
But today is different, Qingying said: "Fu Bao, the master will be away for a while."
Fu Bao was surprised: "What happened, Master?"
Qingying shook his head and said with a smile: "A secret realm has been opened. Master is going to look for opportunities. Maybe he can become a flesh body as soon as possible and come to see Fu Bao!"
His body was destroyed, but was accidentally saved by Liniang.
While Fu Bao was happy for his master, he was really curious, "Master, your body has been destroyed. How on earth were you saved by my mother?"
Qing Ying shook her head, "My cultivation went too far and my realm fell. I had no choice but to destroy my body in order to preserve my soul."
He recalled that time.
It was a pity that he failed to become an immortal. His body was also damaged and he could only survive.
Even so, even though he was seriously injured, he might abandon his withering body at any time.
He was lying dying in the mountains and forests. Liniang accidentally discovered him, took him with her and took care of him.
This allowed his physical body to survive for some time, and then his soul completely left the body so that he would not be left incomplete.
But after he went berserk and became possessed again, he lost consciousness and his body was completely burned that time.
After that, he fell into an endless sleep. I don't know how long it took before he woke up from his deep sleep. Liniang had already disappeared.
His spirit was so weak that he couldn't find Liniang at all.
It wasn't until he met Fu Bao that he learned that Liniang was dead. Fu Bao and Liniang looked alike, so they were indeed Liniang's children.
After his skills had recovered a little, he went to sleep to find Fu Bao and protect her.
Fu Bao's eyes were a little red, and he pursed his lips and said: "...So my mother is such a good person..."
Qingying saw that she was sad, so he diverted Fubao's attention: "Didn't your friend from some system give you a soul-catching bell? Taking in ghosts for your use belongs to the ghost realm——"
Qingying seemed to have remembered something interesting, and his eyes were sarcastic, "In the past, there were so-called decent people who despised the ghost way, saying that it was a crooked way. In fact, it was just a matter of different cultivation methods. These people could kill each other, how ridiculous.
"
He touched Fubao's head lovingly, "As long as Fubao maintains a clear state of mind and is not disturbed by the outside world, what about practicing the ghost way? Nothing more than that!"
He clicked on Fubao's space ring and now wore it around Fubao's neck.
"Didn't an old Taoist give you a Heart Sutra when you were choosing your name? Fu Bao took it out and studied it."
The old Heart Sutra was found and the handwriting was beautiful.
"Master, who left this Heart Sutra?"
Qingying said: "There used to be a very powerful female Taoist priest in Taoism, but she has passed away. This Heart Sutra is the treasure she left behind. The old Taoist priest is probably her descendant." He was a little sad.
"Fu Bao, if you practice the mind method, it will help you stabilize your state of mind and not be disturbed by external objects. This way, if you use the Soul-Calling Bell again in the future, it will be difficult for ghosts to affect you."
Fu Bao nodded, "Fu Bao knows that master is doing good for me... but Fu Bao can't understand."
Even after she became enlightened, she was still in the difficult stage of reading and writing. The Heart Sutra was indeed very difficult.
Qingying said: "Don't be afraid, just follow the master's instructions."
The master and the apprentice began to study the Heart Sutra. They did not say goodbye to the master until early the next morning when Fubao was about to start his enlightenment study.
…
Royal Palace.
Concubine Hui and the second prince had trouble sleeping and eating these past few days.
Everyone in the palace could see that the emperor was in a good mood these days.
Most likely it was because the eldest prince was cured of his leg disease.
The emperor had even set a date for establishing the throne.
If she kept waiting, Concubine Hui didn't know how her son could get into that deal.
The second prince said: "Mother, the eldest prince always speaks in simple terms. It may not be true that he has recovered. What if it is just a means to deceive the father..."
There was a sparkle in his eyes.
Concubine Hui couldn't make up her mind and cursed, "The Queen's lineage is really cunning! In order not to let others see it, the Queen went so far as to claim she was sick for half a month! She also refused to meet the concubines in the harem!"
If the Queen is willing to show up, maybe they can see something from the Queen's face.
But the eldest prince said he was sick and could not go out to recuperate, but the queen actually said she was sick too!
Anyone who sees this abnormal behavior will think that the Queen and the Prince are cooperating with the Emperor!
Just to avoid being noticed until the 15th day of next month when the crown prince is established!
The more Concubine Hui thought about it, the more panicked she became. However, because her father had offended the Jiang family before, she could not stir up trouble now, so she could only stay silent for the time being to protect herself.
She and her son really didn't know what to do in the palace...
