Chapter 942 The stepmother of the gloomy villain (12)
"Prince, are you okay?"
Inkstone, who was a personal attendant, held up two cups and rushed directly to Huo Jingzhou, who had finally managed to stand still, and asked nervously.
"fine."
Although the fall hurt a little, from Huo Jingzhou's point of view, it was more embarrassing.
I am already eight years old, and I was actually knocked to the ground by a child who looked to be only four or five years old. If I tell anyone, I am afraid that I will make others laugh.
So, he said to the inkstone with a straight face.
Of course, the most important thing is that it is impossible for him to argue with a four or five-year-old child. It would be disrespectful.
"Dalang, when did you come here?"
Just when Huo Jingzhou wanted to pretend that nothing happened and left with the inkstone, he only heard a soft voice coming from behind.
"Madam, you are here! Please come and sit inside."
The steward who was standing busy in the shop saw Shi Jiang appearing with Qingxia, and immediately ran out with a smile on his face, bent down to greet Shi Jiang.
But when Jiang Gang got off the carriage, he held Qingxia's hand with one hand, but his eyes were looking in the direction where Huo Jingzhou was standing.
There was also the little fat man who was resisting the maid. Because he didn't want to be dragged away by the maid, he actually grabbed Huo Jingzhou's sleeve and refused to let go.
Huo Jingzhou, who originally had a straight face, couldn't help but blush when he heard his mother's voice and recalled what he looked like when he was drinking tea just now.
Now that I was being grabbed by this little chubby boy again, I suddenly became a little at a loss. I wanted to forcefully pull this chubby girl’s hand away, but when I saw her round and cute face, I couldn’t help but paused, and I didn’t have the strength to pull.
.
In this way, Little Fatty's whole body seemed to be hanging on Huo Jingzhou's arm.
The reason why Shi Jiang stopped and called Huo Jingzhou was definitely not because Huo Jingzhou came to this tea shop.
After all, she had already figured it out when she gave her homework. With Huo Jingzhou's intelligence, he would definitely run to the store to investigate.
Looking at the chubby little man who was holding Huo Jingzhou, Shi Jiang was speechless for a moment.
After all, this person will be the person that Huo Jingzhou loves most when he grows up.
For her, he would go crazy and lose his life.
But now, looking at the little chubby Dun pulling Huo Jingzhou, Shi Jiang felt a very magical feeling.
Huo Jingzhou's face turned red. Seeing that he couldn't pull the fat man away, and it was hard to hear Shi Jiang's words, he didn't reply, so he simply broke the jar and threw it.
Reluctantly, he took the little fat man with him, then turned around and said hello to Shi Jiang Shili.
"Mother."
Shen Biru, who was hanging on Huo Jingzhou's arm, looked curiously at the lady beside the carriage. The lady looked to be a few years older than the eldest sister in the family, but she was even more beautiful.
Qiu Lian, who was on the side, almost collapsed when she saw the young lady holding on to the arm of the young master in front of her!
Shi Jiang nodded in agreement, and then stared at Huo Jingzhou curiously, thinking about how he would treat the heroine at such a young age.
After Huo Jingzhou greeted Shi Jiang, he winked at the inkstone, took the cup of caramel tea, and stuffed it into the little fat man's hand.
"Little sister, I'll give you this tea, and then go home quickly!"
Shen Biru, who had been stuffed with tea, naturally let go of Huo Jingzhou's arm.
As soon as Huo Jingzhou's arm was released, he breathed a big sigh of relief and quickly ran towards Shi Jiang, as if he was afraid of being stuck to the little fat man again.
When Shi Jiang saw him avoiding him like this, he almost burst into laughter.
Seeing his mother's smiling expression, Huo Jingzhou felt even more embarrassed.
"Is mother here to inspect the shop?"
In order to avoid further embarrassment, Huo Jingzhou quickly changed the subject and asked.
When Jiang Dao stopped embarrassing his stepson, he nodded to the steward who greeted them, and then strolled into the shop.
The shop was already small, so as soon as Shi Jiang and a few people came in, it was a little crowded.
However, when the steward led Shi Jiang and the others out of the back of the shop, they saw that there was actually a small courtyard behind the shop.
"Madam, please sit down quickly."
The steward found a chair and brought it out from the room, placed it next to Shi Jiang, and then stood aside with a bow.
Shi Jiang did not ask the steward as usual, but turned to look at Huo Jingzhou.
"Dalang, it's up to you to ask today!"
After hearing this, Huo Jingzhou nodded, then stepped forward and asked the steward to introduce everything in the shop to him in detail, and then pick out the parts he didn't understand well and ask.
After hearing the steward's answers one by one, the confusion in Huo Jingzhou's heart suddenly became clear.
Seeing that the steward was almost sweating when asked by Huo Jingzhou, Shi Jiang waved his hand compassionately and told him to go to the shop to do some work first!
"What do you think?"
Shi Jiang did not look down on Huo Jingzhou just because he was only eight years old.
Therefore, the tone of the questions was not to coax him as if he were a child.
"My son feels that it would be difficult to surpass a shop like this with the current income. For example, we have a shop here in Dongshi, but people who live in three places in the southwest, north and south come here all the time.
It is very inconvenient to come here to buy such a cup of tea. So
So, the best way is to open the same tea shop in different places. This tea shop has low cost and high profit. Open more shops in various parts of the capital. The small amount will add up to the profit.
, it will definitely not be less than the profit earned by our Marquis's restaurant."
Hearing Huo Jingzhou do this, Shi Jiang couldn't help but nod. Although it was slightly different from her original plan, it was still pretty much the same.
"Although this capital city is big, there are only so many people. Even if they like to drink this tea at first, they can't stop drinking it every day. Therefore, we have to halve the current passenger flow. In the capital city,
No more than four stores at most. In addition, in addition to the capital, if this tea shop can be opened in all the major capitals in the north and south, how much more do you think the revenue will be?"
Shi Jiang looked at Huo Jingzhou with a smile and said, and then dropped such a piece of news, which made Huo Jingzhou breathe heavily.
There are so many prefectures in Daxi Dynasty. If each prefecture opens such a branch, the total investment cost will be considerable, but at the same time, Huo Jingzhou thinks of the account in the account book he saw last night, three times the profit.
?
In other words, the more branches you open, the higher your profits will be.
"It's just that if there are so many tea shops, it's impossible to completely control them. Even in this capital, the shopkeepers and village owners will bully us orphans and widowed mothers and embezzle money from them.
Not to mention, if these tea shops open to various state capitals, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, no one knows whether they have any different intentions."
