Chapter 191 Fresh Food Shop Opening
Looking at the shop he had taken back, Zhao Yuanzhen wondered what kind of business he should start.
I thought about the items I had at home and whether there was anything I hadn’t opened a shop for.
The products made in the workshop already have shops or sales channels, but agricultural products such as white fungus do not have much market, so you might as well open a shop for fruits, vegetables and dried goods.
I have a greenhouse at home, so I can sell fresh vegetables in winter, which is unique. Moreover, I grow jujube, wolfberry and white fungus myself, and the quality is good. I can run this shop.
This shop is very clean and tidy. Basically, it does not need any decoration. It just needs to customize a batch of shelves for fruits and fresh vegetables.
Fruits and vegetables are displayed in an open manner in front of the counter, while expensive items such as white fungus, bird's nest, etc. are placed on the shelves in the cabinet.
This shop is more than 200 square meters. When the antiques, calligraphy and paintings shop was rented before, the first floor was for low- and mid-end goods, and the second floor was for high-end goods.
Zhao Yuanzhen doesn’t have that much goods, so it’s a pity that the second floor is left empty.
After much thought, I decided to make a medicinal meal.
There are several private rooms on the second floor where you can dine in or take away.
Zhao Yuanzhen measured the dimensions and ordered a batch of fresh food shelves from the system. The bamboo baskets were used to store vegetables and fruits.
He sent the servant to find the owner of the construction shop and asked him to do some simple renovation, mainly on the second floor, to build a private room, to modify the toilet in the backyard, to expand the kitchen, and to repaint the house in the backyard and the hall in the front yard.
The shopkeeper saw that there was not much work here, so he sent a small team over and the work was completed in three days.
Zhao Yuanzhen was very satisfied.
He followed the shop owner to see the construction progress of the house.
Zhao Yuanzhen really didn't want to rack her brains to come up with a name, so she just copied it.
Let’s call it Chengyuan!
Just think of it as a dream come true. I’ve always loved this house, and now I’m going to own it. I feel very happy.
The construction of the house has not started yet, but we are still preparing the building materials.
Zhao Yuanzhen took a look and left.
I went to find Zhang Xinshu and asked him to nominate the food shop and then make it into a plaque.
【Zhang Food Ingredients Medicinal Food Shop】
The naming style remains unchanged, simple, straightforward and rough.
We have to find a shopkeeper. All the shopkeepers trained by Zhang Yu have been taken to Xiaoshan County. I want to keep a backup in the storytelling shop.
The storytelling shop was run by a newly trained servant, and the original owner was renamed Zhang Pusheng.
The owner of Zhang’s fresh food shop.
Let him hand over all the business in his hands to the new manager in the next two days. He can take a two-day rest and then go there when the fresh food side opens.
Before Zhang Qingyan went to Xiaoshan County, she left behind a lot of employee uniforms. Tomorrow she will bring a set of long gowns for the new shopkeeper.
Zhao Yuanzhen returned home and assigned two cooks and two servants to work in the fresh food shop.
There are 10 medicinal dishes selected.
Donkey hide gelatin black chicken soup, cordyceps flower black chicken soup, cordyceps flower fish glue soup, coix seed and kudzu root pork ribs soup. Adenophora odoratum old duck soup, angelica officinalis and mutton soup, Polygonum multiflorum black bean old duck soup, sea cucumber and pigeon soup, black bean walnut kernel pork bone soup, Codonopsis pilosula and yam beef soup.
Zhao Yuanzhen gave the recipes for ten dishes to Qian Xiaohui, asking her to study them before handing them over to the cook.
A customized menu was made for ten medicinal dishes, with the ingredients, effects, food contraindications, etc. written down, and of course, pictures were also provided.
After drawing the blueprints of the clay pots for medicinal food, he had them sent to Zhuangzi and given to the porcelain workshop, asking them to make a batch of clay pots first.
This casserole is also a take-out container, so you need to order more.
Let’s start with 1000.
She began to organize the types of items sold in the fresh food shop.
First are the dry goods: mushrooms, white fungus, bird's nests, dates, dried vegetables, kelp, vermicelli, sweet potato flour, rice noodles, rice vermicelli, bean curd sheets, dried tofu skin, dried bamboo shoots, sea cucumbers, donkey-hide gelatin, fish maw, various beans, etc.
Medicinal food: black chicken, cordyceps flower, kudzu root, coix seed, adenophora, ginseng, polygonatum, angelica, polygonum multiflorum, codonopsis, yam, astragalus, wolfberry, etc.
Fresh meat: pork, beef, fresh chicken, fresh duck, fresh goose, fresh lamb, fresh pigeon, etc.
Seasonal vegetables: This category is whatever comes out of the vegetable garden at home. In winter, they sell the vegetables grown in the greenhouse, such as eggplant, pepper, cucumber, tomato, beans, leek, celery, zucchini, onion, ginger, garlic, etc.
Among them, only green peppers can be used to prevent the seeds from flowing out.
Fruits: This category is also like this. Whatever is in season is sold, and whatever is stored in the cellar during the winter is sold. Apples, plums, pears, peaches, cherries, grapes, lemons, oranges, tangerines, etc.
Dried fruits: dried apricots, dried plums, fried cherries, dried strawberries, dried plums, dried tangerine peel, etc. We focus on one thing and sell whatever we have at home.
Seasonings: refined salt, pepper, aniseed, star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, pepper, oil, sauce, vinegar, sugar, etc.
Finished products: instant noodles, chili sauce, canned food, etc.
Zhao Yuanzhen compiled the recipes for everything she could think of and that she could make at home.
Such as bean curd skin, dried tofu, bean curd sticks, vermicelli, rice noodles, rice vermicelli and so on.
The recipe was given to Qian Xiaohui, and she was also given an empty workshop on the other side of the farm, and asked to select a cook and set up a fresh food shop to supply the workshop.
The last time I wrote to them, I asked them to buy a lot more people to train, so the family still has enough people. The cook drew 2 and the little girl chose 12.
For condiments, Zhao Yuanzhen directly supplies those grown in her own orchard. For those that are not grown, Zhao Yuanzhen simply buys a lot from the mall and puts them into the warehouse.
I also bought a lot of dried goods such as isinglass, kelp, sea cucumber, and peppercorns from the mall.
Zhao Yuanzhen bought everything she needed.
Start customizing your price tags.
What was ordered was a small black wooden sign with a hanging rope, which had the name of the dish written on it, but the price was left blank.
For example, the price tag of beans: beans are _____wen per pound.
Because the prices of various vegetables are different in different seasons, it is convenient to change them. Just use white chalk to make the changes.
I bought another big box of white chalk.
Two farmers and two servants were hired to pick fruits and vegetables.
Choose large and good-looking fruits and melons.
After the vegetables are picked, they should be neatly stacked, bundled if necessary, and washed if necessary to remove the dirt.
I also customized a few bamboo spray bottles to sprinkle water on the vegetables from time to time to keep them fresh.
Zhao Yuanzhen also selected some delicious kimchi and asked the cook to pickle them and put them in kimchi jars. There were no kimchi in the Daliang Dynasty, so it was not known whether this could open up the market.
Zhao Yuanzhen loves Sichuan pickles.
Zhao Yuanzhen trained the shopkeeper, servants and cooks of the fresh food shop, teaching them the names of various dishes, roughly how to cook them, which dishes go well with which, the prices of dishes, and how to use scales.
After all this busy work, the shop has been renovated. Zhao Yuanzhen took people to clean up. She first put the various custom-made shelves, small signs, and purchased dishes into the warehouse.
Then he asked the servants and maids to clean up and start arranging the shelves.
The shelves are arranged in several rows, divided into vegetable area, fruit area, meat area, etc.
Then there are all kinds of dry goods and dried fruits in the counter.
After the shelves are placed, arrange the existing ingredients and hang up the price tags.
I was busy until the evening before I finally put everything in place.
Zhao Yuanzhen set prices for various items based on their market prices.
She sells Tremella by kilogram, and the box is a bit troublesome.
The kitchen is also equipped with various pots, tableware, etc.
The cook has tidied and cleaned the kitchen.
Because the preparation time of medicinal food is so long, reservations must be made at least 4 hours in advance.
The shop will open tomorrow, so she specially selected cows, sheep, pigs, chickens and ducks to be slaughtered early tomorrow morning and then transported to the shop.
We try to pick fresh fruits and vegetables every day. The leftover fruits and vegetables of the day are taken home or delivered to the canteens of other shops. The main idea is not to waste them.
People who buy these fresh vegetables get up early to buy fresh ones, so the opening time is set at 5: in the morning.
At this time, people who go to the early market will come out.
The transport team delivered the items before 5 o'clock.
On the first day of opening, Zhao Yuanzhen generously offered a half-off promotion, of course not including expensive items like bird's nest and white fungus.
The crackling sound of firecrackers instantly attracted many people who got up early to rush to the morning market.
"What a coincidence! I checked here. Zhang's Fresh Food Shop is pretty good. They have all kinds of vegetables, such as eggplants, peppers, cucumbers, melons, fruits, pears, peaches, pork, chickens, ducks, beef, mutton, bird's nests, white fungus, peach gum. They also have rice noodles, rice vermicelli, instant noodles, and chili sauce. I went into the shop to take a look. They're offering a half-off sale for the opening. It's only for today, half-off!!! After today, it will resume tomorrow!"
The buyers only heard: Zhang’s Fresh Food Shop blah blah, blah blah, half price!
Half price!!
You have to go and see it.
If you don't take advantage of this opportunity, you'd be a bastard.
After a while, a lot of people came into the store.
The cooks had no orders for medicinal food at the moment, so they came to the front hall to help.
2 cooks, 2 servants, and a shopkeeper.
"This eggplant is good. How much is it?"
"Madam, the original price is 4 cents per pound, but today it's half price, 2 cents per pound."
"It's really half price, give me two kilograms each."
"Okay, I'll get it for you."
"What kind of dish is this? Why don't I recognize it?"
"This is a green pepper. You can cut it into strips and stir-fry it with meat, or eat it raw, or use it as a seasoning. It tastes a bit spicy, even spicier than dogwood."
"Chili? Is it the chili sauce from Zhang's grocery store?"
Someone next to him asked.
"Yes, that's what the lady is talking about. It's the chili pepper. We also have chili sauce in our shop."
“Is the chili sauce also half price?”
"Yes, the chili sauce is also half price today, and each person can buy a bottle at half price."
"Okay, give me a bottle. My husband loves this chili sauce."
A lady quickly bought a bottle. The usual price of chili sauce was 1600 wen per jar, but this time it was half the price, only 800 wen.
Her husband can eat this jar of chili sauce for more than three months.
"Then I'll have one too!"
"I'll have one, too."
Several people who bought chili sauce bought a bottle. The man in this family really loves it.
The ladies who come here to buy vegetables are all from well-off families with a certain source of income. After all, it is the capital, and it is a residential area in a prosperous area.
