Chapter 314: Shops Were Everywhere in the Country
Lu Sheng’s eyes brightened.
She tapped her fingers on the table and looked at He Zhang. “Uncle, when Magistrate Fu comes to our restaurant for a meal in the future, give him a discount.”
Given Fu Xianyun’s personality, he would probably not want to come again if they did not receive his money.
The only way was to give him a discount.
Comparatively, with him around, the income of the Lu family’s restaurant would definitely be stable.
“What do you mean by a discount?”
He Zhang kept feeling that Lu Sheng said new words that he had never heard before.
He had studied for two years and knew a lot of words. However, he was still puzzled by some of Lu Sheng’s words.
Lu Sheng explained patiently, “It’s just that it’ll be cheaper for him. For example, a dish costs one tael. You can give him a twenty percent discount, which means you only need to charge him eight hundred coins.”
Although Magistrate Fu was not short of money, he would still be happy if he was given a discount occasionally, right?
“I see!”
He Zhang nodded and noted it down.
Lu Sheng added, “During festive seasons, you can give customers a discount. As long as we don’t incur losses, it’s alright for us to earn less.”
There was a lot of profit to be made. This was how business was done to attract customers.
“Okay.”
He Zhang nodded seriously.
He Lai, who was sweeping the floor, cast an admiring gaze at Lu Sheng silently.
He did not know his little niece very well in the past. His biggest impression was that she did not like to talk. She was shy and spoke softly. One could not hear her unless they listened carefully.
However, she had changed drastically since her last visit.
Not only was she courageous, but she was also very opinionated in her actions.
Moreover, He Lai could tell that even his stubborn brother had no choice but to listen to Lu Sheng.
After thinking about it, he felt that the only things that He Zhang admired were the names and recipes of the dishes that Lu Sheng gave him.
His brother was passionate about cooking. He loved anything related to culinary skills or seasoning recipes.
“Lu Sheng, where did you learn how to do business?”
He Lai leaned on his broom and asked curiously.
How old was Lu Sheng? She was only a sixteen-year-old girl. He really did not know where she had learned these ideas from.
“Business?”
Lu Sheng tapped the tip of her nose. “Aren’t all shops like this?”
“Yes.”
He Zhang nodded. “Tian Xiang Restaurant often charges its customers cheaply.”
“Right?”
Lu Sheng smiled and said, “I heard that Tian Xiang Restaurant belongs to Lord Chu?”
He Zhang nodded. “Yes, Tian Xiang Restaurant is available in every mansion and town. There are even a few restaurants in the capital.”
He Lai said, “The Chu family doesn’t just have Tian Xiang Restaurant. Their shops are almost all over the country. They are famous for restaurants, cloth shops, rice shops, banks, and escort services.”
Lu Sheng sneered.
No wonder Chu Sihan wanted to give her a hundred thousand taels.
Rich people felt good.
As a poor person, she had to ‘scheme’ against others for a few hundred taels. They could probably earn the same amount by sitting alone for a day.
It was too difficult for her!
“Speaking of which.”
He Lai asked Lu Sheng, “You went to Lin Jiang Mansion with the Third Prince and Lord Chu. Didn’t they return with you?”
“Master has something on and left first. He should be back tomorrow. As for Lord...”
Lu Sheng pursed her lips and said in a low voice, “He said that he might not return until the new year.”
