The same is true for Zhao Zitong's inn. The bathing place has the function of covering up shame, but the conditions are not much better, and air leaks everywhere.

When the weather is hot, guests can still wash it. When the weather is cold, few people are willing to suffer.

As for the carriage shop, no one cares whether to take a bath or not.

Zhou Qinchuan felt that it was unrealistic to make the current inn like a top peer, all equipped with bathtubs.

The price of the barrel is not a problem, and the expense is not large, so how to drain it is the problem, especially upstairs.

You can't just put the shopkeepers and shoppers together, pouring bath water for the guests one by one, you won't be exhausted.

Once it is transformed on a large scale, the cost will be huge. It would be strange if Uncle Dong’s temperament can agree. He also thought about gathering more money as soon as possible.

Moreover, if you do this, you will have to take the high-end route, otherwise when the cost will be recovered, but this is inconsistent with the mid- and low-end positioning envisioned by Zhou Qinchuan.

It is different to use wooden barrels and tubs to soak your feet. It is simple and convenient. No matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, cloudy, rain and snow, it will not have any impact on the guests. It is not troublesome to serve the guests.

With its own characteristics, soaking your feet warmly is probably more comfortable for most pedestrians who are still mainly walking at this time than taking a bath.

Such an inn has the warmth of home. Even if the location is a bit bad, how can the guests not like it?

The only thing that is worth considering is the foot basin shared by many people. The sanitation and disinfection will definitely not pass according to the standards of later generations.

However, no one cares about these things at this time. As long as the appearance is not dirty, it can only be washed and hot, and be more strict with yourself.

What’s more important is saving money, especially for Uncle Dong, this is very important.

After listening to this explanation, Uncle Dong pondered and did not express his opinion.

When Zhou Qinchuan saw it, he knew that the old man was still afraid of spending money, and was afraid that spending money would not work much. He was thinking about how to make it easier to understand, but he didn't want the next little man to play.

In just a few words, Uncle Dong understood the hidden benefits that such small means could bring to the inn, such as the word-of-mouth of the inn, the reputation of the inn will inevitably rise steadily, and eventually increase the inn's income, etc.

Xiaoduan's understanding of business philosophy and his eloquence to convince Uncle Dong have made Zhou Qinchuan look at him with admiration.

"Success! It's up to you."

Uncle Dong was finally happy. He understood. Although he could not see results immediately like bread, it was beneficial to the long-term operation of the inn:

"But Zhou Dalang, this idea is not easy to share with you."

The next moment, Uncle Dong frowned.

"Okay, Uncle Dong, since this idea cannot achieve immediate results, I will give it for free? Don't you feel sorry for it now?"

"Sure, what you said, Zhou Dalang, remember it."

When the old man heard this, his frown suddenly opened, and his sadness turned into joy. The speed of his face changed was unexpected.

......

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat."

Dachang's loud voice rang in the backyard. It was the afternoon of the busy morning. The inn people finally had a little rest.

Since Zhou Qinchuan came up with the idea of ​​soaking feet, the inn business has reached a small step.

Nowadays, you can open an average of 14 or 5 rooms a night, and the occupancy rate is no worse than the two inns in the Nanbian Village.

Occasionally, the guests were full, and a lambunt obviously couldn't get busy. Zhou Qinchuan had to hire another one, and the wages were still paid by him and the inn.

When the business got better, the gimmick of a clean bedding was replaced in front of the check-in guests, but I was too busy to do so.

Nowadays, as soon as the guests left in the morning, the two lambs were busy dismantling and washing the sheets. Xiao Duan and Zhou Qinchuan checked up and down to see whether the items in the room were intact before the guests checked out, thus deciding whether the corresponding deposit from the guests was deducted.

Therefore, after eating morning food at the hour of Mao until noon, it is the busiest time for the inn. For the inn, this meal of Wu is a double supplement of physical strength and mental strength, which is indispensable.

Dachang's screams were nothing more than Lun's voice.

Uncle Dong was so happy that he was the first to find Zhang Fangtou to sit down and wait for the meal to start.

Seeing that the idea of ​​soaking the foot basin was effective, he was so happy that he couldn't stop talking. Since then, he was convinced by Zhou Qinchuan and no longer picked on it. He didn't even make a fuss about the new idea of ​​Huanniang.

In fact, from Zhou Qinchuan, the increase in foot bathing basins will not have such an immediate impact on business. The spread of reputation will take time, so how can it be effective in just a few days of implementation?

When the business went up, he felt that it was more of the effect brought by bread. Of course, Zhou Qinchuan just thought about this in his mind and did not tell others.

At least I put on the fork and looked at the expression of admiration for others for myself. It felt pretty good. This is just an invisible benefit for time travelers.

Nowadays, around the inn, especially in the village adjacent to the south, the reputation of Zhaojia Inn has become popular with bread.

If someone from another countryman wants to stay, he will most likely ask the locals. The suggestions he gets are naturally mainly based on the Zhao Family Inn, which is the key to the continuous improvement of business.

In fact, this can be regarded as a reputation, but this reputation relies on bread, not the accommodation conditions inside the inn, whether the service is attentive, etc. If these things cannot keep up, there will definitely not be many guests willing to stay overnight.

However, Zhou Qinchuan made preparations in advance, and the brand new plain linens and thoughtful services such as foot baths made the guests feel that they were indeed worth living. The business is becoming more and more popular, which is a natural thing.

"Miss Su, let's take a break first and then be busy after using meals."

Xiao Duan packed up the tables and chairs, brought the pot of vegetables to the lobby, turned the kitchen, and said respectfully to Su Yourong when he passed by the counter.

Su Yourong stood behind the counter and was still planning the accounts. In addition to baking bread with Zhou Qinchuan in the inn, she also had to clear the accounts with the guests in the morning.

After all, the ethics concept of trapping women in the boudoir has only risen. Although there are few women who work hard and make money even through the state, there are not none.

Therefore, no customer has any objection to the role of Su Yourong, the female accountant.

Not to mention the inn, only Uncle Dong can plan, and it is far less quick and accurate than Su Yourong. She must be the one who settles the accounts.

Xiao Duan, a waiter, has benefited the most. He has long been interested in learning some skills, especially mathematics, and he is very interested.

It’s just that Uncle Dong is older and treats others kindly, he wants someone to teach you something. Xiao Duan doesn’t have the courage to raise it.

Since Zhou Qinchuan entered the inn, he saw that Xiao Duan was quite energetic, so he deliberately pointed out and asked Su Yourong to teach him how to calculate, which was also mentioned by Zhou Qinchuan.

It is not only to help Su Yourong reduce the burden, but also to lay the foundation for the departure of the three of them in the future.

Finally, Su Yourong had no shame in cherishing herself and did not object to Zhou Qinchuan's proposal.

Since then, after she has two students who study and learn calligraphy, Xiao Ji and Zhou Qinchuan, she has become Xiao Duan, an apprentice who studies abacus.

Xiao Duan is spiritual and patient, and cherishes this hard-won learning opportunity. After ten days, his plan has exceeded that of Uncle Dong.

Therefore, although Su Yourong is a female, Xiao Duan is respectful and serves him completely with the etiquette of his teacher.
