303. Ambition
What will happen to Song Zhimei in the future, there are people in the Song family to worry about, Shi Gui is only worried about a few grapes and bamboos, Song Zhimei is pregnant and enters the palace, it is a misfortune for the old lady Song, if he intends to send his granddaughters into the palace, he will not report the granddaughters from the election, and if such a thing happens, what can he do if he is not sick.
The grapes and bamboos are all waiting in the Song Yin Tang House, Shi Ju is still in charge of the accounts, the Song family retreats to the countryside, and there is no need for these many people to wait, according to the old lady's temperament, no one in the house will move the girl in the Song Yin Tang House.
I don't know if Mrs. Zheng was sold, she was just a stove in her aunt's room, she really went back to the old house, there was not even a small kitchen in the small courtyard, and only the old lady could open a small stove, Mrs. Zheng's errand was lost, and her daughter and son-in-law couldn't help the table, and if she wanted to sell, she was selling such a person.
If Song Zhimei gives birth to a son, I am afraid that the old lady will have to clear the house and never return to Beijing.
Song Zhimei is abandoned by the Song family, and the prince will not pay more attention to her, the crown princess wants to pinch her, only move her eyebrows, and someone will do it for her, and she will not move at this time, that is, because she is pregnant.
The crown prince is not rich in heirs, if the ordinary palace people in the East Palace are lucky, the princess will also ask the eunuch to write down the day, and before the next month, he doesn't have to do anything, and he is not afraid of 10,000.
When Song Zhimei entered the palace, the child in her belly was two months old, although she was roasted on the fire, from the queen to the prince, it was not that the crown princess had never been said at all, it had become a stalemate at this time, and once she gave birth was a variable.
Shi Gui wrote a letter and sent it back, explaining that it was sent to Shi Ju, but the letter was sent very slowly at this time, and she didn't know when she would receive it.
Shi Gui took out the abacus, and the expenses recorded in the account book were reconciled again, and there was nothing that could be calculated on the first day of opening, but she looked at the numbers on it, and felt at ease.
Calculate the posting, and then take stock of the dishes that Ming'er wants to do, the meat is sent in the morning, and the vegetables are the same, today's dishes are not left, Ming'er also added more, the food money is not worried, but the advertising signboard has to be made early, get a square bamboo lantern, paste paper on all sides, write Shiji bamboo rice, press it on the car, and let Dafa light the lamp at night to deliver the meal.
Every shop in Jinling City hangs flags when they go out, what is painted is what is sold, the sewing shop hangs a purse outside, the rice noodle shop hangs a bucket outside, there is no selling in the Shangshu alley, but the merchant also sends a list for each family, what is printed on it, which street is written clearly.
Shi Gui supported his head with one hand, it is very common to send such a list, Jinling is still less, more or people paint, painting a penny, in Suizhou is different, because the printing factory is more, it is easy for small shops to print advertising lists, Shi Gui wants to open a plate and print hundreds of copies.
At first, you can't print much, since it is a newly opened store, it is natural to have a discount, with a list to the dock for free to get a rice bowl,
There's nothing more satisfying than being free.
The plate is engraved and printed, and no one will steal it, and twenty or thirty sheets are sent out a day, and someone will always come to receive it, so that the price of a rice bowl is fair and the taste is good, and there are also women who have a wealthy family, so they go to the foot store to buy food, the same is to buy food, how can Shiji bamboo rice not be bought.
There are also several private schools on the street where he went to school, and there are more people who are literate on one street.
Then hire two more people, add an extra car, Ming'er will increase from 300 to 400 servings, but unfortunately there is a shortage of manpower, you can make bamboo rice, you can make a breakfast car, steamed buns and sell them.
Shi Gui sighed, bluffed Qiu Niang, and quickly put down the needle and asked her, "What's the matter?"
"Where can I lose, I think that if we have enough people, we can do early business, before going to work is when I am hungry, I am afraid that it is better than the rice bowl at night. "After work, they rested, where the workers ate is not to eat, three or three of them will gather in one place and drink some wine, if you want to eat, you have to have snacks, and they all go to the foot shop inside, and the dinner at night is less than during the day.
Shi Gui figured it out, and thought that there must be a profit as soon as possible, and before going to work, the closer to the port the better, and there were also people there in the morning to sell cakes and buns, and they could load more in the car.
Qiu Niang laughed when she heard her: "You kid, why is your heart so wild, the business just went smoothly the day before, you want to go to the side, according to what I said, let's just do it in front of us, take your time." ”
Shi Gui can't take her time, and when those shops see that they are profitable, they all push carts to sell, her profit will be small, and the business at night is not as good as she expected, so she has to think about it quickly, she only hates that the principal is insufficient, if she pushes out four or five cars in one go, each occupies a corner, and others want to compete with her, it is not so easy.
Shi Gui told Qiu Niang about the advertising leaflet again, and Qiu Niang became anxious: "Twenty or thirty copies a day, we don't make much money, and if we give it away for nothing, it's not that there is no money to make." ”
"How can there be so many people coming to the door, this is a time limit, let's count by the number of days, a list is limited to five days, five days if you don't come to get it, it will be invalid, movable type typesetting is just moving numbers. Shi Gui saw that Qiu Niang was really anxious, and pulled her and said: "I estimate that there are seven adults in the twenty or thirty lists.
Among the ten people who knew, two followed to see, and one of them touched the money, this business is not a loss, Qiu Niang thought silently for a while, her eyes turned red, Shi Gui was at a loss, and heard her say: "You have so many ideas in your heart, if you listened to you a few years ago, you don't have to sell you as a girl." ”
Shi Guiding said that she wanted to go to the town when she was a little older, but she was just a child, who was willing to listen to her, Qiu Niang Shi still thought that she loved the excitement in the city, and when she said back, she promised to take her to the city for a trip, but she didn't take her words seriously, and now she knows that she is serious about business.
Shi Gui laughed: "Mother is just for this? isn't it worth feeling uncomfortable, aren't we very good now?" At that time, she was just an illiterate country girl, and what she said at the age of five or six would not be taken seriously, and the two of Qiu Niang's green calyx could listen to her, but also because she felt that she had seen the market in Jinling, and she could read and write.
Seeing that she was doing well at this time, she regretted it in her heart, and heard that her daughter might have her own shop, Qiu Niang reached out and rubbed her daughter's hair, Shi Gui stood up and put away her needle and thread: "After a busy day, you are not allowed to do this sad thing again, and when you make money, just find a tailor to do it." ”
Qiu Niang was still sad, and laughed again when she heard her words: "You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are when you become a family, and how much money does it cost to find a tailor." ”
"What is this worth, I will give Green Calyx a dowry in the future and marry her beautifully. Shi Gui knew that Qiu Niang was worried about her marriage, not only her own but also the green calyx, and although she saw that the woman was late to marry in the local area, she still put it in her heart, so she teased her with words.
Qiu Niang really laughed, pinched her nose, Shi Gui pushed her back to the house to sleep, and drew on the paper for a long time, but she was still not satisfied, and she couldn't be satisfied, so she couldn't really ask Ye Wenlan to help draw.
She thought about the advertising list, only the money for the engraving plate was insufficient, flipped through the jewelry box, and turned out a gold bracelet from it, and when she saw this, she thought of Mama Feng, she didn't know where it was sold when the Ye family raided the house, Shi Gui checked it, this bracelet can also be worth seven or eight taels of silver, and the money for hiring someone to print and make a light box is there.
This can't let Qiu Niang know, she also said that this bracelet should be left to Shi Gui as a dowry, looking at the meticulous workmanship, the amount of gold is sufficient, even if she wears it on the day of marriage, it is enough, and she also told Shi Gui that there are many things to marry, and her husband's family will not dare to look down on her in the future.
Shi Gui smiled at that moment, and pointed to Xizi who was boxing in the courtyard: "Wait another three or four years, who dares to bully me, I will marry later, Xizi can support me, I will marry." ”
It's not like Ye Wenxin with Qiu Niang, Qiu Niang always thinks that she can find a good person to marry, so that she can be considered complete, and she feels worthy of her, Shi Gui will not want to be next to her at this time, one pole will be supported until four years later, and it will not be twenty at that time, and the local girls will marry late, all of them are at this age, and Qiu Niang also wants to keep her for two more years, but there is no difference at all.
I got up early in the morning on the second day, and Ah Zhen also got up early, knowing that they wanted a restaurant early in the morning, and the meal was done early, and one person ate a bowl of soup and pho, Ah Zhen also sent them to the door, watching them go out, Shi Gui couldn't help but want to laugh, Green Calyx wanted to go to the women's school, but Ah Zhen wanted to go to the restaurant, if the two of them changed, it would be just right.
Wang Niangzi got up early in the morning, and boiled a pot of braised eggs last night, all made by her and the two of them, Qiu Niang also said: "Why don't you wait for us to come." ”
Mrs. Wang had already rubbed her hands and smiled shyly: "It doesn't take much effort." ”
Today is a potato roast meat and an egg, it is a good dish for three days in a row, first beat the name out, soaked a pot of potatoes in the basin, brushed one by one and threw it into the pot.
Shi Gui looked at the regulations of everything, pinched the gold bracelet in his sleeve pocket, and said to Qiu Niang: "I'll go to the carpenter to have a look, and then go to the printing factory to ask for the price." ”
Qiu Niang knew that she was busy with a lot of things, and several people rolled up their sleeves to wash and chop vegetables, so that she didn't have to rush back in a hurry, and sent Shi Gui out of the door, Shi Gui followed Bao Zhi through the pawnshop, she asked everything she could, and found the shop around, it was too early, and the door hadn't opened yet.
Shi Gui had to go to the bamboo craftsman again, order a bamboo bowl, and then let him sweep the appearance to make a bamboo lamp, how do you know that the store sells all kinds of sizes, Shi Gui thought about pasting paper, it can be covered with cloth strips, and there is a lampshade inside, which is very fine, the boss smiled: "There are still things that will turn, do you want to take a look." ”
It will turn like a horse lantern, and it is the same when used in bamboo lanterns, only the price is more expensive, and ordinary shops don't need it, Shi Gui also waved his hand: "I don't want that to turn, give me two of this size." ”
She carried the lantern and went back to the pawnshop, the door had just opened, Shi Gui pinched the bracelet before she was about to go in, she was patted on the shoulder, Mingyue stood behind her, looked at her and looked back, frowned and asked her, "What do you want to be?"
