"This drawing technique is amazing. I can almost see the beams and pillars inside the building. I'll have Cheng Shan handle it. How do you plan to organize the investment promotion conference?"
"We need to prepare for both the investment promotion conference and the local relay stations, but the most important thing right now is manpower training. So, I might need to borrow Uncle Zhong for a while today. We'll act as instructors together and share our business experiences from the Yunmeng Dynasty. Come on, dear Mo, let's go listen to Teacher Tong's lecture."
With excitement, Xiangbei walked out, leaving behind a determined figure that filled Cheng Mo's eyes. Teaching? Looking forward to it.
She arranged today's class with Tong Chen, arranged lunch, and notified those interested in training to gather at the martial arts hall. Then, she personally went with Cheng Mo to invite Uncle Zhong, where they discussed the content of his lecture in advance. They also piqued the interest of several members from the Mountain and Sea Departments who were with him, and they all went to the lecture hall together.
XiangBei was all action when she decided to do something. She stood up eagerly and led the way out, with Chengmo's eyes filled with admiration for her determination and enthusiasm.
Teaching? Miss Xiao Tong as a teacher? He mischievously imagined the scene of the petite figure of Miss Xiaotong standing in front of the class as a teacher and looked forward to it.
XiangBei found Tong Chen and discussed how to arrange today's class, arranging for a special lunch and asking him to notify those who needed training and were interested to gather at the martial arts hall.
She and Chengmo came to the courtyard where the Cheng family guards were staying. XiangBei personally invited uncle Zhong to give a few lectures together. Zhong felt deeply honored by the personal invitation from Prince Mo and Miss Bei. He immediately communicated with them about the direction and content of the lectures.
XiangBei briefly described her development plan and vision, outlined the future prospects, and asked him to talk about the current business situation, people's needs, and the difficulties faced by merchants. She even managed to pique the interest of several members of the mountain and sea tribes who were present, and they all went to the lecture hall together.
XiangBei's vision for the North-South Supermarket and the Same City Inn was based on modern management principles, and she urgently needed manpower who could understand these new models. Learning new mathematics wasn't difficult, but the challenge was how to make these ancient people understand why they needed to learn it.
Xiangbei's envisioned North-South Supermarket and Local Relay Routes were based on modern management principles. She urgently needed a workforce that could understand these new models. New mathematics wasn't difficult, but the challenge was how to make these ancient people understand why they needed to learn all this.
So, Xiangbei staged a supermarket mini theater. Qiao Er was in charge of purchasing, and Xiao Xi, who had been familiar with the North-South grocery store for quite some time, performed cashier duties behind the counter. Xiangbei calculated the prices of the items listed by Xiao Xi on the large blackboard using vertical calculation, while Uncle Zhong operated the abacus on the side.
The result was, of course, no surprise. From that moment on, everyone in the lecture hall had only one thought in mind: to learn!
Several hours passed unnoticed, and no one left until Li Auntie and her team set up three coal stoves in the back hall. The pots on top contained abalone and chicken soup, braised pork with mushrooms and bamboo shoots, and lamb stew with skin-on radishes. On the table were braised beef, tomato and egg stir-fry, cured meat rice, and several types of pastries and main dishes. A large pot contained milk tea, fruit sweet soup, and Yangzhou fried rice. A stack of bamboo trays, small ceramic bowls, and bamboo spoons and chopsticks were neatly arranged on the side. The aroma enticed everyone, reminding them that it had been too long since their last meal, and they were hungry.
Xiangbei led everyone to line up and get their bowls and plates, three bowls and one cup each, with a choice of dishes. This fast-food format was introduced for the first time, and when Li Uncle came to invite a few honored guests to the main table for their meal, no one went, insisting on joining the line for the fast-food service.
The first day of teaching was an unprecedented success. Xiangbei changed the menu and flavors daily, so much so that the variety and unlimited refills of the fast-food became the infinite motivation for everyone in the village to come and attend classes. Even Old master Tong and Doctor Li brought Prince Rongzhi to attend classes and enjoy the fast-food. Most of the guests from the capital knew about the plight of Rong Wang, but they pretended not to know, respecting his privacy.
