The biography of Gu Qi, a poor girl

Zhou Li smiled: "I have too many eyes staring at me. No matter what store I open, it will become my family's business.

The Zhou family started the rice grain business, and then gradually involved various businesses such as cloth shops, wineries, restaurants, and medicinal materials.Apart from the fact that the rice and grain business requires frequent dealings with officials, the business next to it is relatively stable and low-key.

To sum up, although the Zhou family's business is huge, it now spreads almost all over Yuzhou and Yunzhou.But it's not radical, or even conservative.

This is also the reason why Zhou Li has always had porcelain in his hands, but he has not dared to try the way of tea bricks and shredded tobacco.

Until this year, the disaster in Yuzhou Prefecture was almost uncontrollable.However, things began to take a turn for the better after the family, who was far away in Yuzhou Prefecture, received most of Yuzhou's business and moved to Jiangling County.

Probably this is unbreakable.

Thinking of the several Yunzhou Mansion businesses that he had held in his hands before, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Li's mouth.

These people have too much appetite, I hope they don't die.

Gu Qi saw the change of expression on Zhou Li's face, so he didn't ask any further questions.Where there are many people, there are rivers and lakes, not to mention how there is no sullenness in a large mansion like the Zhou family.

Zhou Li is an old fox who has penetrated this way. He will compete with him. In the end, who will suffer in the end is uncertain.

certainly.It's nothing to do with yourself.

......

In the Dakang Dynasty, official laws strictly prohibited the private sale of salt, iron, copper and other items without official books.But can not help but porcelain, tea bricks and tobacco.

For Gu Qi, it is natural to do what the law does not prohibit.

Of course, Gu Qi also knows that these things are also difficult to deal with, especially tea bricks and shredded tobacco. There was a saying in the past that "a thousand miles of tea bricks open the way, and ten thousand taels of silver go into the pocket", which is the amazing degree of tea profits.

It is also for this reason that although the official family does not ban the sale on the public face, the private sale of tea bricks and cut tobacco has already been controlled by the major clans and the Caoyun horse gang.

And here the top officials account for a few percent of the share, so I can't go into details.

Generally speaking, it is more difficult for ordinary people and small merchants to bypass the water transportation and caravans and get the supply of tea bricks and tobacco shreds from the upper and middle reaches.

(ps: Remind again, this article is an old saying that is not history, the plot is purely fictitious, don't rise to reality. It is illegal to go to si cigarettes, please don't mess around.)

Of course, these do not need to be considered by Gu Qi. The commercial market is essentially a retail industry, and it has nothing to do with the interest consortia in the middle and upper reaches.

As long as the law is not clearly prohibited, any business that can make money, a fool will not do it.

When Zhou Li walked to the center of the business center, Gu Qi said: "Thanks to the young master Zhou to take care of the business, since the young master came over in person today, let's choose a good position for yourself.

Except for the junction of the east gate and the north gate, which belongs to the self-operated area of ​​Gu's business market, the rest of the location can be selected first. "

"Thank you Miss Gu for your generosity over there." Zhou Li chuckled and pointed to another area not far from the self-operated area that Gu Qi said:

"I think it looks good here."

The area selected by Zhou Li almost faces the north gate of the business city.Outside the north gate is right next to the entrance of Xiaoqi Village.Gu Qi and Zhou Li walked to the north gate of the commercial market and stood still.

Looking out from the inside, you can also see the official road outside the village, and the chariots, horses and pedestrians on the official road.

"It's really good. Young Master Zhou's vision is very precise." This location is considered to be an excellent location facing the street, and Gu Qi praised it.

Zhou Li raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard the words: "So you do business with me. Girl Gu, don't worry, you can make sure you don't lose money."

"Then borrow Master Zhou's auspicious words."

Looking at the sky, Gu Qi said: "If there is nothing else, why don't you go back first? The scholar has already prepared the evening meal and is waiting for us."

"Your accountant lives with you?" Zhou Li asked.

"The scholar is me..."

Gu Qi originally wanted to say that the scholar picked it up on his own way and had no place to live, so naturally he had to live together first, but he turned to the speech Gu Danian had made up before, and said:

"That scholar is my cousin from afar. He came to Hesong Town to find a living, but couldn't find a place to live. It happened that I was short of Mr. Accountant, so I asked him to stay and help first."

cousin?

Zhou Li smiled and didn't ask in detail, only said: "I see that your cousin has an unusual bearing. Just being a cashier, I'm afraid he will be buried."

"Why, did you see it too?"

Gu Qi was surprised: "I told you, that scholar is really good at cooking.

If it weren't for the fact that I really lack the accountant here, and I couldn't find another suitable person to do it, I would definitely persuade him to become a chef.With this top-notch cooking skill, the accounting room is indeed buried. "

After that, Gu Qi couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, "What a pity."

"..." Zhou Li, is that what I'm talking about?

Before the two entered the courtyard, Gu Qi could not stop the saliva secretion from his mouth, which was stimulated by the strong scent of spicy rabbit heads.

This scholar is really proficient in every cuisine.It's really his own sin to have such outstanding cooking skills, but now he can only succumb to the position of the general accountant.

Of course, one can admit one's sins, and there is absolutely no way to change it.

"Aqi, it's time to eat."

Fengqing put the tableware and chopsticks on the side and greeted outside the hospital. When she saw Zhou Li behind Gu Qi, she showed a polite and thoughtful smile and said, "Young Master Zhou, please."

"Mr. Lao." Zhou Li saluted and showed the same polite smile.

Gu Qi looked left and right, and suddenly realized that the two of them were a model of professional fake smiles.

In addition to spicy rabbit head, braised rabbit head, and spicy rabbit pot, Fengqing also made plain roasted winter melon, boiled cabbage heart and keel water chestnut soup.Each one is full of flavor and color.

As soon as the dishes were served, Gu Danian, who had been busy all day, also hurried back home, stepping on the sunset. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Zhou Li sitting at the stone table in his yard. Gu Danian was nervous for a while and didn't know what to do. Is good.

"Zhou...Young Master Zhou, why are you here?"

"Some business needs to be discussed with Miss Gu, so come here. How is Uncle Gu today?" Zhou Li asked with a smile.

"It's fine, everything is fine. Young Master Lao takes care of the family's business." Gu Danian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhou Li's polite words.

Maybe it's a habit, Gu Danian couldn't help but feel a little cautious when he thought of the comfort of Zhou's family all the way before he came to He Song Town.

"Uncle Gu, you don't have to be polite. Doing business is all about helping each other. Why don't you eat first? The dishes are cold. Wouldn't it be a failure of Mr.'s good craftsmanship?" Back to the dining table.

The four of them were satisfied with this meal, but of course they had to ignore Gu Danian's caution and Zhou Lifengqing's shyness.

After the meal, Zhou Li didn't delay any longer. After saying goodbye to the Gu family, she hurried back to He Song Town before it got dark.

After packing up the tableware, Gu Qi took out the pen and paper as usual to practice calligraphy in the yard.
