Chapter 268 Shop
Out of curiosity, Su Mu went to take a look and found that the design was extremely ingenious.
These drainage measures have undergone many improvements and finally took on this form. People from the Ministry of Industry also participated in it. According to them, even if it rains very heavily, the water can be discharged quickly.
The drain outlets are also designed in the shape of various animal heads, and when the water flow is strong, each drain outlet discharges water outwards, which is also a spectacle.
Su Mu felt relieved after knowing this. He was afraid that the various spices would get wet when it rained. What was sold were not only whole peppercorns, but also various ground powders.
The goods were put into the warehouse, all the processes were prepared, and the news that the spices shop was about to open also spread.
When people heard that not only the valuable pepper was sold here, but also other things they had never heard of, what is the numbing pepper? What is the Sichuan pepper? And the rattan pepper, why are there so many peppers!
At the same time, these people had a thought: even though they couldn't afford it, they could still go and take a look! They had to see it for themselves.
In a blink of an eye, it was the opening day. People gathered at the door of the store as usual, but this time the customers at the door were different.
Many carriages of various colors were parked outside, with some noble people sitting inside the carriages, and servants and maids standing beside the carriages waiting.
In the past, people could be sent to buy vegetables, but pepper was different, they still wanted to come and choose it themselves.
Here, pepper is equivalent to a modern luxury item. Some people use pepper and other things as bribes. On the one hand, such things are rare and represent a symbol of status to a certain extent. On the other hand, these things are expensive!
Sumu and Lixia were dressed formally and elegantly, and the guys here also wore uniform, which made them look more professional.
Gongs and drums roared, firecrackers blasted, and the red cloth was lifted to reveal a plaque.
Singing and chanting began, gifts were delivered, the business opened, and the crowds poured in.
The guests in the carriages got off calmly and walked into the shops.
They also knew that this shop had sales on the second floor, private rooms, and VIP items, so they bought them as soon as they came out.
Entering the shop, on the first floor there are some common spices, which can also be found in other medicine shops. Of course, there are also some other rarer spices.
Going up to the second floor, the second floor is very quiet compared to the first floor. There is also a hall on the second floor. Of course, the things on the first floor are also available here. There are also some particularly expensive and high-status spices, as well as spices that have never appeared before.
On the other side of the hall are various private rooms.
Whether it is the first floor or the second floor, people are appreciating all kinds of incomprehensible ingredients and listening to the waiter’s explanations about the functions of these.
Each kind of spices exudes its own flavor, and these flavors mixed with each other do not seem messy at all, but are exceptionally thick, steady and unique.
Knowing what these spices are, some people choose to buy a little of each, while some people, after hearing the price, choose to give up and turn to other spices.
The spices are sold by pound, so even if you choose some of each, there won't be much, so they won't take up too much space.
Some people don't want to squeeze with others, so they choose a private room, so that the benefits of VIP can be reflected.
Others were jealous, and he was not without money, so the number of VIP guests increased dramatically.
When the business opened, some petty thieves showed up. They had shifty eyes and looked like they had bad intentions. We just quietly arrested people, but those guys were not pushovers.
There were also some people who came just to gather information. Once this spice shop opened, the secret thoughts of many people were shattered, and it indirectly hit those who smuggled pepper, hoarded pepper and maliciously raised the price.
Who would go to their store if you can buy it openly? Not to mention that their prices are so unscrupulous that some even ask for double the price. You have to give those people some benefits from time to time before they tell you that pepper is in stock.
At the end of the day, they caught several petty thieves, and also monitored those who came to gather information to see if they were smugglers.
This spice is not like vegetables. Everyone can buy a few kilograms. Although the quantity is not as much as vegetables, the price of the transaction volume is very high.
At the end of the day, I have sold countless spices. The food shop there always limits the quantity they sell. Today is the first day the spice shop opened, and the limit has been lifted. I can't help but buy more.
When he counted the sales volume at night, Su Mu was shocked. Did he sell so many? When did pepper powder become sold by the pound?
If there is no restriction, her stock will be consumed by these crazy people sooner or later.
There are so many people in the country, not to mention the whole country, even in Beijing, she alone cannot supply everyone with as much as they want to buy.
Fortunately, it was said at the beginning that there would be no restrictions in the first few days of opening, and they would only start after a few days.
It has changed from being sold once every few days to being sold every day, but the weight sold each day is controlled below a certain amount.
The growth rate needs to be roughly the same as in the space. After the limit, it is not a small number and is almost enough.
What Su Mu didn't know was that while she was calculating the daily limit, the petty thief caught today and those who were following her for information had results.
Those people were sent by the smugglers in order to find out the situation of the store first and then find a way to close it down so that their business can flourish again.
Before they could take any action, they were chased to their lair, caught in one fell swoop and brought to justice.
You should know that these smugglers are also serious targets of crackdown. These people secretly transport goods back to the country from foreign countries and cooperate with other countries to drive up the prices to a new high, seriously disrupting the market.
Under the temptation of such huge benefits, they can bribe and induce some officials to participate. The purpose behind it can be imagined, and this is also a huge risk.
Su Mu was busy with the things in the shop, while Ji Shiyan was busy with the smugglers' things.
When Ji Shiyan went to deal with things, he was also very excited. Mumu is really a little lucky star.
The smuggling gang was brought out in this way, and there was not just one.
These people were desperate and panicked. From the beginning when Mumu was selling pepper and didn't take it seriously, to now when Mumu opened a shop, they were completely panicked and didn't know what to do.
Without thinking, they sent people over. These people didn't even have any disguise. Their psychological defenses are almost broken.
That night, some people slept soundly, while others were in a state of panic, and eventually all of them were imprisoned.
