But now with BiDa Running Errands, if they want to eat Gujia Snacks but don't want to go to the store, they can just ask BiDa Running Errands, which is more convenient than going to a restaurant.
Li Mumu temporarily gave up the idea of opening a big restaurant.
Priority will be given to opening a place with BiDa errand service before opening a GuJia snack bar.
The development of Gujia Snacks was handed over to Li Youkang.
When the Gu family moved from Anping Town to Chong'an, they only used two horse-drawn carriages.
One carriage was for people and the other for luggage.
But now there are more people in the family and more luggage.
Two carriages were not enough.
So they allocated three carriages to carry the passengers and rented two more carriages to carry the luggage.
However, this time General Li and General Shang are also going to the capital, so the three families are going to the capital together. It will be more convenient to have someone to take care of them on the way.
A month passed quickly.
During this month, the Gu family was busy cleaning up the store, and even Li Mumu had no time to take care of the store.
On the day they set out, all the guys from the errand shop, including those who didn't have errands to run, came to see them off.
Especially to Li Mumu.
"Madam Gu, we are far away from each other now. I hope you can come back one day."
"Mrs. Gu, thank you so much. I thought I would have a chance to repay you, but I didn't expect you to leave so soon."
"Mrs. Gu, we can live so steadily now, thank you very much."
"Don't thank me, thank you." Li Mumu stood in front of the carriage and said loudly, "I just provided a job opportunity. It's you who are willing to accept it and are not afraid of hard work. It's you who worked hard on your own."
"Without you, this errand shop wouldn't be able to do so well. We have even opened errand shops in many places now. This is all because you all work diligently and carefully and are not afraid of hard work. We achieve each other's success." Li Mumu said.
"Even if I am not in Chong'an in the future, I will feel at ease knowing that you are here. It is also because of you that I can leave with peace of mind." Li Mumu said, "I don't know when I can come back, but I think I will come back. I will also look somewhere else, to those places where there are errand shops."
Li Mumu said to everyone, "Please stay. While I'm away, the errand shop here depends entirely on you!"
"Don't worry, Madam Gu!"
"We must do a good job!"
Even if you are not here, we will still be attentive, Madam Gu, don't worry!"
Li Mumu smiled at everyone, and was then helped onto the carriage by Gu Shangqing.
On the way, Li Mumu began to think about it.
There was no express delivery in ancient times, and because of transportation reasons, express delivery was definitely not as fast as it is today.
Although there were canal transport and escort agencies, they only transported large quantities of goods, which were not accessible to ordinary people.
There are official post stations for sending ordinary letters, but they do not provide farewell services.
If you want to send a small item to someone, it must fit inside a letter; anything larger won't fit.
I don't know if it's feasible to open a courier shop here.
Li Mumu just thought about it for a moment and had to go back and consider it carefully before knowing whether it could be done.
Along the way, they had official post stations where they could rest.
The food was pretty good, but it was always a little lacking in flavor.
Fortunately, Li Mumu has come up with instant noodles in different flavors. They are not suitable as a main meal, but they are just right to satisfy your cravings.
They finally made their way to the capital city. Before they even entered the city gate, they already saw people coming in and out of the city.
It is much more lively outside the city than outside Chong'an City.
There are already many tea and noodle stalls outside the city for people to rest.
Some farmers brought their own vegetables and eggs from chickens and ducks to set up stalls outside the city.
Including Li Zhiyin and the monk's wife, it was their first time to visit Beijing.
I couldn't help but lift the car curtain to look out at the excitement.
Once you enter the city, it's even more prosperous.
"In Chong'an, there are only a few two- or three-story buildings like this," said Mother Gu, "but in Beijing, they are everywhere."
"The streets are more lively, with many shops."
"Oh, the clothes they wear are so beautiful. The colors are much brighter than Chong'an's, and the styles are different too."
"Mu Mu, tell me, Beijing is so prosperous and has everything. Can our Gu's snack shop continue to operate?" Zhang Caiping was most concerned about the issue of doing business.
"Let's do the same as before. Let's get familiar with Beijing for a few days and take a look at the situation of restaurants in Beijing before making a decision." Li Mumu said.
"That's fine." Zhang Caiping nodded. "Even if we don't open it, we have enough space for our family with the restaurants we opened in other places."
"But we need to run errand shops and instant noodles." Li Mumu said, "These are the key
However, life in Beijing is not easy, and those wounded soldiers returning home will not come to Beijing.
As errand shops opened in other places, the wounded soldiers returning home chose to work in shops close to home.
If you open an errand shop in Beijing, you will have to recruit workers.
But there is no rush for these things now.
We have to wait until Gu Shangqing settles down in Beijing.
General Li's carriage in front stopped first, and then General Shang's carriage stopped as well.
After the Gu family's carriage stopped, Gu Shangqing got off the carriage and saw General Li's housekeeper Wang coming over and said to Gu Shangqing, "General Gu, the general's mansion is on Zhuque Street ahead. We have to turn left at the intersection ahead. The general asked me to come and tell General Shang and you, and we will separate ahead."
"Okay." Gu Shangqing said, "After we have cleaned up our house, we will go to visit the General's Mansion."
Butler Wang bowed and trotted back to the car in the General's Mansion.
General Shang's house is not far from Gu's house, and they are on the same road.
The Gu family's carriage stopped at the gate of the new house. Seeing the magnificent mansion, everyone in the Gu family couldn't believe it.
Even Li Mumu was standing at the door in surprise for a long time.
In her previous life, she was a wage earner, living in a tiny rented house. When she traveled, she had indeed visited the mansions that were left behind by ancient dignitaries and used as tourist attractions.
But the place was so crowded with tourists that it was impossible to have a good look around.
Many of the rooms are used as staff offices and shops selling souvenirs, and have long lost the feeling of when the owners still lived there.
Our previous house in Chong'an was considered a small wealthy family.
And now the house in the capital city has really become quite impressive.
Although it is still inferior to the mansions of high-ranking officials, it is also incomparable to the house in Chong'an.
As soon as everyone got off the car, they saw a middle-aged man in plain clothes walking out, followed by many servants.
"General Gu, Master Gu, Madam, Master Gu, Second Master Gu, and the three ladies." The man bowed and called out, "My name is Yao Xingcai, and I am the housekeeper of the palace. The emperor thought that since this is your first visit to the capital, there would be no one to take care of the newly granted house, and it would be a mess when you move in. So he arranged for us to come and clean it up in advance, and the indentures have also been delivered. If you like it, you can continue to use it. If you think anyone is not suitable, you can sell them."
