Otherworldly Days

Chapter 193

The Shen family has more than a dozen shops in Nanyang, so it is not difficult to find a suitable shop.After deliberation, I chose a shop facing the main street, and the confirmed shop was already in the process of being renovated.

Thinking of the dazzling array of children's products and toys in the previous life, from small baby products to older children's toys, Cao Xiangnan has racked his brains these days, writing and drawing on paper, and putting everything he can think of first. Draw it out and let the artisans over there do it first.

Baby strollers, cribs, and other small appliances, and small toys such as rocking drums, small wind chimes, etc.Older children play small wooden horses, small bicycles, scooters, and other small toys, and there are also many small appliances suitable for children.

The weight of the child is light, and a small bicycle made of wood can bear the weight of the child. Even if it can't go far, it will definitely not be a problem to ride two laps in the yard.

When I was young, I was very envious when I saw other people’s children with small bicycles. It’s just that at that time, with my grandma, it would be nice to have a full meal and read a book. How could I dare to have my own bicycle, so until now Cao Xiangnan I am particularly impressed with children's bicycles.

However, if possible, Cao Xiangnan would like to get a batch of bicycles owned by adults, so that going out would be much more convenient, at least going from Caojia Village to Fenshui Town would not be a problem.

He hired someone to make some toys for the children in the family, but this is also relatively limited.Besides, Wanfeng's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and he will give birth in winter. Cao Xiangnan also plans to prepare all the necessary things before the baby is born, but when winter comes, the baby is too young and can only be locked in the house. It is rarely taken outside.

Going to the town to find craftsmen to make these things, after all, they are not their own people. If the drawings are given out, they are given away. It’s not like there are people from Shen Zhengyang’s side now. The craftsmen are all his own people. Not afraid to flow out.If he wants to buy the things he makes, there is at least a price for a premium member. Besides, they open a store here and sell these things, and the profits he makes can be counted as dividends. Why not do it?

So Cao Xiangnan was very active in opening a children's product store.

At that time, the clothes made by him will not only be sold at shopkeeper Jiang, but also sold in this store, so that the clothes produced by the garment workshop will not be afraid that there will be no place to sell them.

If you have 100 taels in your pocket in Caojia Village, you are a rich man. When you come to Nanyang, you can’t buy an ordinary shop on the street without 800 taels. The little money he saved is not enough at all. read.

With his current financial ability, there is no need to spend all his money to invest in a new store. Not to mention the high risk, if the capital turnover fails, everything behind him will be paralyzed.So now he just wants to be a manufacturer with peace of mind. He still can't integrate production and sales, and human and material resources can't keep up.

It is better to adopt the mode of cooperation with others now, that is, to get a little less share, but the risk is not so great. First, save a little money, and then make a new plan in the spring of next year.

"Can this little thing really walk on foot? Doesn't it need to be pulled by a pony?" Shen Zhengyang saw a blueprint in his hand, and saw a strange thing with two wheels on it. He couldn't imagine that this thing could be stepped on with his feet. It can be moved without relying on horses.

In making these small toys, he also played a little bit of his usefulness as a science and engineering student. Thinking about how he was also a mechanical student back then, it was completely useless when he came here, and this time he will finally come in handy.A small bicycle really wouldn't bother him. If it wasn't for the limited conditions, Cao Xiangnan thought he could get a small car and drive it.

However, these small things are at best made to make people feel that the craftsmen are ingenious, but it is too eye-catching to actually make a car. Think about those things and forget it, and it is really impossible to make them for the time being.

"Hmm, trust me, when you make it and find a child to try it, you will know if it will work." Cao Xiangnan remembered that in history, bicycles seemed to be introduced to China from foreign countries in the late Qing Dynasty. How can such an excellent craftsman fail to invent a bicycle?But this doesn't stop him from making a small bicycle for the children to play with?

Based on the level of wealth here in Nanyang City, an ordinary merchant's family could spend a few taels of silver to buy a bicycle for their children. He could completely foresee the popularity of these small toys.

Even Qu Guanshi who was following Young Master Shen, after seeing these gadgets, treated Mr. Cao from being wary at the beginning to admiring him later.The father who is in charge of the job is a craftsman slave of the Shen residence. He learned the craft from his father since he was a child, and later became a craftsman, and now he has been promoted to be the steward of the shop. Nothing has changed.

The blueprints were given to Qu Guanshi, and handed over to craftsmen to make them.Cao Xiangnan will also go over to discuss with the craftsmen how to make it more appropriate, and listen to other people's opinions. After all, these people are real craftsmen, and he is just talking on paper. After combining the two, he will adopt the most suitable way to do it.

Yipinzhai also has a lot of things to be busy here. After the new autumn cuisine is confirmed, only the new winter dishes are left.If it wasn't for the two busy days in the last two days, Cao Xiangnan would have settled the affairs of Yipinzhai long ago, but now both sides are going on at the same time, and there is no delay.

"Shopkeeper Fang, I will cook all the new winter dishes these few days." Even if he is busy at the other end, Cao Xiangnan will not forget Yipinzhai.

"I don't worry about you. If you are busy there, you can work there first, and you can take a while here." Shopkeeper Fang patted Cao Xiaozi on the shoulder. Yipinzhai is now full of customers every day, and the business is faster than before. Take it to the next level.

Anyway, a lot of new dishes have been released recently, and he doesn't care if the winter dishes are released after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Seeing that Brat Cao is busier than the shopkeeper, he and Young Master Shen are busy opening a new store.It is also a good thing that Cao boy got on the line of Shen's house. Speaking of which, it is the Shen's family that no one dares to touch in Nanyang.

"How can I slow down, I have to rush home to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Wanfeng's children, I have agreed, I will not stay here during the Mid-Autumn Festival, no matter what, I must go home before the Mid-Autumn Festival Yes." Even knowing that Qi Wanfeng would be taken care of by someone at home alone, Cao Xiangnan was still worried.

Otherwise, he wouldn't tire himself out like a dog. He was rushing home before the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he promised his wife!

"Hahaha..." Shopkeeper Fang laughed outrageously, knowing that this kid is good to his family, and he especially likes this kid on this point.

Cao Xiangnan is still very grateful to shopkeeper Fang. He has been living in Yipinzhai recently, and it is convenient for him to deal with Yipinzhai's affairs. He also goes out several times a day.

As for the overall situation of Yipinzhai, it is under the control of Shopkeeper Fang, and the method of making new recipes and moon cakes is sent by Shopkeeper Fa to other Yipinzhai's semicolons, so he does not care about these.

Now almost all the new dishes of Yipinzhai come from him. The shopkeeper Fang proposed to give him a monthly dividend from Yipinzhai.If it succeeds, it means that he will get the full amount of dividends in Yipinzhai in the future, not just a part, so now Cao Xiangnan is waiting for the result first.

No matter what the result is, Fang Ziye can't lose here anyway, and Cao Xiangnan still believes in this point.

The space in the kitchen is relatively small, and they have opened up a new kitchen in the back dedicated to making mooncakes. In this way, mooncakes can be made here from morning till night.

Since the first day of the launch, the sales of mooncakes have been increasing every day, and the building has received many orders from the government.

Cao Xiangnan suggested setting up a stall to sell mooncakes at the door, and proposed some modern sales ideas. Seeing that shopkeeper Fang was hesitant, he also told him clearly, "When the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, no one will buy mooncakes. At most, it will be about ten days. We can sell as much as we can, otherwise we have to wait until next year to make mooncakes."

He knew what shopkeeper Fang was hesitating about. It was just a place where Yipinzhai was a high-end restaurant. How decent would it be to set up a stall at the door to sell things?What he said is also true, if you don’t hurry up to make a fortune now, who will buy your mooncakes after the Mid-Autumn Festival?

So after shopkeeper Fang agreed, and after deliberation, in addition to setting up a stall at the entrance of Yipinzhai, they also decided to set up a stall to sell mooncakes in several crowded places on Nanyang City Street.

He had brought Sun Ji and the four boys of the Sun family here for so long, and finally they were able to come in handy. Two or two were in charge of a stall, and Sun Ji was temporarily in charge.For those at the gate of Yipinzhai, the staff in the building will be responsible.

"Sell mooncakes, freshly baked mooncakes."

"Don't miss it if you pass by..."

"Hey, my little brother, come and taste our mooncakes, you only buy them if you eat them, and you don't need money if they don't taste good..."

"Now buy five and get one free, and you can save face by eating and giving away."

The stalls set up on the street hold trays with mooncakes cut into small pieces and various flavors, and the boys try their best to sell their mooncakes to passers-by.Seeing these pancakes with beautiful styles and so many flavors, those who pass by will really have a taste, and they will pay for five pieces of cake if they eat delicious ones, plus a piece of cake to send home.

Needless to say, the amount sold in one day is also amazing!

The mooncakes that the kitchen was rushing to make that day were sold out quickly outside. The people who were rushing to make mooncakes in the kitchen never stopped except for a meal in the middle.When shopkeeper Fang saw the income from these stalls on the first day, he smiled happily, and his smiling face turned into a chrysanthemum.

"Trust me this time?" Cao Xiangnan also knew that the business of the few stalls outside was particularly good today, and there was a queue at the few stalls at the back, and the goods on the stalls were sold out, and they couldn't make it here. quick.

Soon other restaurants saw Yipinzhai doing business, and followed suit. Unfortunately, they made ordinary pancakes, which were completely different from the mooncakes sold by Yipinzhai, so even if someone bought them, it was far away. It's not as good as Yipinzhai's business
