Chapter 206 What’s going on?
Gu Yunling excitedly grabbed Jiang Xiyu's hand and said, "Xiao Xi, you are a genius in business."
Jiang Xiyu felt embarrassed by her praise and blushed, "I don't know how to do business. It's all thanks to Sister Yun's guidance. I was just thinking about it casually."
Seeing her being so modest, Gu Yunling glared at her, "Hey, don't be so modest. I didn't even think of this idea. You're really smart. You've never done business before. If you really embark on this path of doing business, you will definitely be better than me."
Jiang Xiyu didn't expect to receive such praise from Gu Yunling, and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Gu Yunling looked at Jiang Xiyu eagerly and asked, "What do you think is a reasonable price for our Recovery Soup and Hibiscus Porridge?"
Jiang Xiyu was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Gu Yunling to let her set the price. After thinking carefully, she said, "Fuyuan Soup is 30 taels, and Hibiscus Porridge is 20 taels. What do you think, Sister Yun?"
Gu Yunling carefully considered Jiang Xiyu's pricing and felt that it was quite appropriate, not too expensive nor too cheap.
"Since we only have a daily limit of twenty servings, why not sell them for fifty taels each? Whether it's the Recovery Soup or the Hibiscus Porridge, they're all fifty taels. Our medicinal food is both effective and delicious. Let alone fifty taels, even a hundred or a thousand taels would sell out quickly."
Medicinal materials are rare, and this thing is even scarcer. Selling it for thirty or twenty taels is really a waste of resources.
There are so many wealthy and powerful people in Kyoto that I believe I can easily sell out the coins even if I sell them for 50 taels. Once my reputation spreads, people will be vying for them even if they sell them for 100 or 1000 taels.
"Then it's Sister Yiyun's." Although Jiang Xiyu owns many shops, she has never done business herself, let alone a restaurant business, so her pricing is naturally not accurate. In this regard, she prefers to listen to Gu Yunling.
If the price is fifty taels, twenty servings of recovery soup and lotus porridge every day can sell for two thousand taels. Adding other things, it should not be a problem to sell five thousand taels a day. With a 30% profit, you can still make more than one thousand taels of silver.
No wonder everyone wants to open a restaurant, it is indeed very profitable.
Jiang Xiyu thought of something and looked at Gu Yunling again and said, "When our herbal medicine shop opens, what kind of wine and drinks do you plan to use, Sister Yun?"
"What other drinks can I use? Of course..." Gu Yunling's eyes lit up instantly when he was halfway through his words. "Are you planning to sell medicinal wine?"
Jiang Xiyu chuckled, "I previously made a batch of medicinal wine with Madam Yu and Madam Wei, but just like the Recovery Soup and Hibiscus Porridge, the quantity was not very large."
It was when she was making medicinal food that she saw the medicinal ingredients and remembered the medicinal wine her mother made with her when she was a child. She thought that the medicinal wine might be useful when the herbal food shop opened, so she took Nanny Yu and Nanny Wei to make a batch first.
However, they have limited manpower and cannot produce in large quantities, so the quantity is limited.
Gu Yunling didn't expect Jiang Xiyu to even think of medicinal wine, and immediately said excitedly, "What's the big deal? Just sell it in limited quantities like the Fuyuan Soup and Hibiscus Porridge."
She has learned another trick now.
If this limited edition product sells well, not only will the price be high, but the fewer and more expensive it is, the more people will chase it. Not to mention that our products are made with real ingredients and have real therapeutic effects.
Jiang Xiyu nodded. "For now, we've only made two kinds of wine: ginseng wine for men, and angelica wine for women. Ginseng wine can gradually replenish the lower abdomen, produce essence and blood, strengthen yang and bones, and even whiten the skin. Angelica wine can replenish blood and regulate menstruation, promote blood circulation and relieve pain, moisturize and lubricate the intestines. It's most suitable for women suffering from postpartum weakness, lower abdominal pain, and blood stasis."
Gu Yunling clapped her hands excitedly upon hearing this. "Xiao Xi, you really gave me a lot of surprises. I really found the right person this time."
Just based on the efficacy of the two medicinal wines she mentioned, they will surely be a big hit.
As expected of Liang's daughter, her ability in making medicine is truly unmatched.
She should have looked for her earlier. Perhaps if she had looked for her earlier, the entire Yunchao would have been filled with their herbal medicine shops.
Jiang Xiyu blushed at Gu Yunling's praise. "Actually, the recipes for the medicinal wines were left to me by my mother. I only made two this time. I'll try others next time if I have the chance."
Gu Yunling didn't take it seriously. "Just take your time. Release a new product once a month. I guarantee those diners who have tasted it will flock to it."
The two of them discussed some details about opening the shop.
In fact, Gu Yunling didn't have to tell Jiang Xiyu about these things, but since they are now in a cooperative relationship, she naturally had to explain it clearly to her. At the same time, she was also teaching her how to open such a restaurant and do business.
To be honest, Jiang Xiyu has some talent in business. As long as she is taught well, she will definitely make a lot of money in the future.
But as long as their herbal medicine restaurant does well, she can make a lot of money.
After discussing the matter, Gu Yunling called all the servants in the villa. Because the villa was very large, there were quite a few servants in it.
Jiang Xiyu took a look and estimated that there were hundreds of slaves.
"Princess." The servants of the villa all saluted Gu Yunling.
Gu Yunling pointed at Jiang Xiyu and introduced her to them, "This is the eldest daughter of General Jiang's family."
Gu Yunling's introduction gave Jiang Xiyu some unexpected surprises.
She did not say that she was the wife of the Yonglin Marquis, but introduced her as the young lady of the General's Mansion. She was really considerate.
"Miss Jiang." The servants all bowed to Jiang Xiyu.
Gu Yunling looked at Jiang Xiyu and announced to the servants, "From today on, she is your master."
As soon as Gu Yunling said this, the servants immediately started whispering to each other.
"what happened?"
"What does this mean, Princess? Why did this young lady become our master?"
"Yes, I've never seen the daughter of the general's mansion before."
Knowing they didn't understand, Gu Yunling patiently explained to them, "She is the daughter of my benefactor and also my sister. I have already given her this villa, and I will also give her your indentures. So from today on, she is your true master."
After Gu Yunling said this, the servants understood and quickly saluted Jiang Xiyu again, "Servants pay their respects to the young lady."
The princess gave the villa to this young lady and also gave her the indenture contract. Doesn't that mean she has become their master?
Thanks to Gu Yunling, these people addressed her as "Miss" instead of "Madam." Jiang Xiyu was very pleased and raised her hand, saying, "No need to be polite."
"Thank you, Miss." The servants then stood up straight.
Jiang Xiyu had just arrived and the medicinal herbs had not yet been officially planted. She really had nothing to say and would just wave her hand and say, "Just go do your own thing."
The servants subconsciously glanced at Gu Yunling.
Gu Yunling had no expression or reaction. It was obvious that after this introduction, she no longer considered herself their master.
The servants also realized something and all bowed obediently and retreated.
