Mrs. Wu likes women to be ambitious, but she likes Shi Gui very much, keeps them to eat, and asks them what kind of business they want to do with the stall, Qiu Niang has just been discouraged, but was persuaded by Shi Gui to come back, think about it at night, the people who carry firewood and sell water in the city can make money, is she not as good

If you boil hot water and sell it, it's just to build a few stoves and send them to each family after boiling hot water.

As soon as she said this, Mrs. Wu nodded straightly, she was about the same age as Qiu Niang, but she looked much younger than Qiu Niang, listened carefully to what they said, and said two useful sentences: "If you really want to set up a stall, go to a place where there are many people, it is best to do work and make a living, and you can't do without the loom to see the silkworm weaving, and the coolie who carries the bag can't leave the wharf. ”

Shi Gui originally thought the same way, he wanted to find a place to open a shop, without having to be exposed to the wind and sun, he could really do it, and he could hire someone to do it.

Hearing that they wanted to sell wontons, Mrs. Wu laughed: "There are many wontons here, and no one eats them outside, although the things are easy to make, you still have to see if they fit the local people's eating taste, it is better to think about a few to eat first, and see which one can be sold." ”

Shi Gui pursed his lips and smiled: "That's exactly what I thought, I first looked for a Chinese person to look at the rent, that is, I found the one I liked, and I had to clean it up, and the tables, chairs and benches had to be purchased, and my mother took advantage of this kung fu to practice her hands." ”

Mrs. Wu nodded: "You are right, everything is difficult to start, it would be good to really start." "When the family was hit by water bandits, she also came out to set up a household, which originally meant to help each other, and now she is more willing to help.

Shi Gui didn't know that Mrs. Wu had opened a shop at home, and she listened to what she said carefully, and remembered them one by one, which coincided with what she originally thought, she thought in the past two days, doing business in ordinary markets, it is better to go to the dock, where there is a large flow of people, and people from all over the world have it, so it is not to suit the taste for a while, and it is not tight, those coolies have the strength to eat when they are full, and they eat soup noodles and wontons, which are not as full as eating, it is better to sell guest meals, with soup and side dishes, and then there is a topping, what you have to do every day is also simple, and you don't have to be in charge of Qiu Niang, she just needs to look at the cabinet。

I think about it well, I have to go to see it, there are so many things in one stubble, and I can't stay for a long time, thank you Mrs. Wu, and know Mingyue's whereabouts, so you don't have to sit anymore, Mrs. Wu left for dinner, but was also politely declined by Shi Gui, and you can't sit at a table and go to the kitchen to eat, it's better to go to a small stall outside to eat.

As soon as Mrs. Wu saw her, she knew that she was an ambitious person, and she didn't force her to stay, so she sent them out with the girl, and sighed, I'm afraid that this father can't be found, but fortunately, as long as you want to stand up, there is always a way.

Xizi wants to go to school, Qiu Niang wants to support a stall, Ye Wenxin wants to go to women's school, everyone has something to do, there is no day to be idle in Suizhou, Shi Gui went out and saw Baozhi waiting in front of the door, and he didn't go back, he walked outside the city, how inconvenient, he asked Baozhi to find her father, and sat in the teahouse, asked for a pot of tea and a few snacks, and waited for someone while eating.

There are many female guests like them, those who are slightly better dressed can sit and eat a meal, Qiu Niang was still cramped when she first came, it was only two days, she was very used to sitting among them, and asked Shi Gui if she wanted to drink fragrant tablets.

The first seat in the teahouse, a few cages of dim sum were sent up, and after a while, Baozhi brought her father to come, knowing that there was business to the door, the man was full of smiles, although Qiu Niang was used to sitting mixed with men and women in the crowd, there was really a man in front of her, or shrank back, Shi Gui poured tea for her, and she and Xizi had a meal, and said to herself: "Looking for two things uncle, one is that we want to open a restaurant, and we want a suitable place, preferably around the dock; ”

The shopkeeper Bao Zhi's father knew that he hadn't really paid attention to this school, not to mention that it had to be an official school, so he called it and asked where there was a school that spoke official language, but Bao Zhi's father was stumped.

Naturally, there is no such school, but there are few such schools, and the threshold for entering is also high, Shi Gui is sincere to send Xizi to study, so he told him all about his situation, he is more than ten years old, and he only knows some words, and he has read some books with his husband in the countryside, and he has not finished reading a single one.

Baozhi's father asked and agreed, what he did was running errands, and he smiled: "The shop's business is wrapped up in me, if you want to see it, you can see it today." ”

The wharf is not a bad business, and there are many old shops, it is really difficult to open a shop there, but it is not full from time to time, and the business of the shop is not full from time to time, and the business of the shop is not hard to see, which one is not to buy a field and a house, and you can go to the countryside to raise silkworms and fruit forests in a few years, and you don't have to get up early and be greedy for darkness.

Shi Gui carefully said to Bao Zhi's father that it was best to be connected to the backyard, but Bao Zhi's father shook his head: "The wharf has every inch of land, and there are upstairs and downstairs, but if you really want to say that you can live in people, it is always inconvenient." ”

Shi Gui was ready to go and see it herself, but Qiu Niang didn't worry that she would go alone, and she didn't take Zhu Asheng out of the door, so she pulled Xizi along, and really walked to the dock, only to know that it was indeed inhabitable, there were two empty shops, one by the south and one with a backrest, and the south one had a second floor, but the house was very low, and people could hear the sound of the dock ships inside and outside the house, and it was not stop working in this area at night, so noisy that people couldn't sleep.

There is a small patio in the back of the north, if you build a shed, you can also live in people, after all, the weather in Suizhou is not cold, and you can live in a bamboo shed, Qiu Niang looks good, but Shi Gui shook his head and refused to respond, just the shop is naturally good, this is not a meal, there are many people up and down the dock, there is no empty place in these shops, the people who work want to have a full stomach, that is, squatting under the root of the wall to eat, it is just a meal, pull a few mouthfuls, throw down the bowl and go to the boat, and work again.

Shi Gui looked at it one by one, one by one in mind, what was sold on a street, but I remembered clearly, the things here are not heavy on weight and quality, a big bowl of fried noodles and noodles was brought out, and there was not much material on it, that is, I was full, how could I have the leisure to think about whether I could eat well.

Bao Zhi's father saw that she had an idea, so he said: "The more you rely on it, the better, no matter what you sell, people can make money continuously, girl, look at the shop in the middle, but there are more than half of the people on both sides." ”

These people are so tired of their legs and feet, so they can take a break when they eat, walk a few steps less, and be diligent when they work, but they are lazy at this time, and they refuse to move one by one, and they don't say anything when they eat with a bowl, but they are very quiet, and they throw the bowl after eating, fast and not much.

Farther away from the wharf, there are several shipping yard shops, when not leaving the ship, the workers also live there, five cents a night, there is a solid bed to sleep on, there is also a street there, Shi Gui still wants to go to see, Baozhi's father stopped her: "That is not the place where the girl should go." ”

Shi Gui didn't understand yet, but Bao Zhi opened his mouth happily: "That's Fireworks Street." "These dock workers are paid on a daily basis, and they receive as many bags as they carry, and some people put the money in their accounts, and they keep some food money a day, and some of them have to take it out to play.

The rooms were hung with red curtains, covered with flour, leaning against the door, and there was only one bed in the door, fast in and out, and the dock workers went wherever they got off work, and they were happy for a while, some went back to the boat, and some went to the Chase Shop, poured all night, and then came out to work.

Shi Gui frowned, although there are many people in the south, this shop in the north is more neat and cleaner, the doors and windows are good, there are tables, chairs and benches can be used, and the curtains can be opened.

Shi Gui nodded: "This one is not bad, but I don't know how much it is rented, is it on a monthly or annual basis?"

I can't afford to buy it, and Shi Gui doesn't have so much money in his hand, so Baozhi's father wiped his sweat: "I sincerely want to rent, I'll find the owner again, and press down the price with him, this is more remote than the one in the south." ”

Shi Gui nodded, only then did she realize the inconvenience of living outside the city, she had money to spare, and she didn't know if it was enough to rent a yard again, and she couldn't come to the shop early in the morning every day, and then rushed home after collecting the stall.

In addition to the two by the wharf, and went to see a few on the street, there are restaurants everywhere on Haoban Street, prosperous is prosperous, but you don't have to ask and know that you can't afford to rent, the shops here are not for sale, all are some high-ranking officials and nobles opened shops, although they can't come forward to do business by themselves, there are many

The house slave servant, tacitly speaking, the profit of the thriving shop in a month is higher than the annual salary.

Shi Gui Qiuniang walked all the way out of the city, discussing all the way to move to the city, it is not convenient to do anything outside the city, is it not possible to farm and raise silkworms, Qiu Niang looked at her daughter: "You are so good with Miss Ye, we are here again, I don't think she can leave you, really want to go?"

Shi Gui was also hesitating, Ye Wenxin had just arrived, and he only had a younger brother by his side, if he really left her, there would be no one to talk to.

Qiu Niang sighed, Shi Gui frowned, but she can't always live by Ye Wenxin, she is not short of money, but she is already free, she has to plan for herself, and Qiu Niang Xizi Green Calyx, living in the city is always more convenient than living in the countryside.

Shi Gui pulled Qiu Niang's hand: "It's okay, I'll tell the girl well, she will understand."

They went back, Ye Wenxin hadn't come back yet, she went to Ji's house again, took Ah Zhen with her, and when Shi Gui arrived home, the bath bucket was also delivered, Shi Gui let out a sigh of relief, quickly boiled the water, and lined up to let Qiu Niang's green calyx wash her hair and take a bath.

After washing, I dried my hair in the yard, really moved to the city, and I was a little reluctant to see this scenery, and turned out a fragmentary poem in the belly of the glow of the mountains, and the green calyx came to Shi Gui's side, and took a comb for her to pass her head, Shi Gui waited for her to speak, and she said after a while: "I, I want to learn from you." ”

"Okay!" Shi Gui immediately responded, smiled happily, and took Lu Calyx's hand: "When you learn it, you can also go to the counter, our business is done, and you don't have to run errands, open a store first, and open a second store when your reputation goes out, so that you can be the second shopkeeper." ”

The green calyx was stunned at first, knowing that it was difficult, but she couldn't help laughing, one hand touched the tip of the braid, and the glow reflected on her face, and she was flushed with laughter.
