Chapter 44: I'm Busy Making Money
Chen Renqing received the red envelope and couplet and began to be busy. The pen %fun %Pavilion kept most of the red envelopes for himself www.biquge.info and threw all the couplets to Wang Ding. After entering the wax moon, more and more people came and went on the streets of Baishui County. Almost all sides of the street are filled with wire beds, and there are more people selling clothes and groceries, as well as other goods such as firecrackers. There is a lot of noise from vendors everywhere, and it's probably only during the Chinese New Year that you see this kind of scene.
The winter in Whitewater may not be the windy cold of the north, but it is very comfortable on a windless and cloudless day when the sun comes out. Xiaoqing and Mu Ke put their stalls at the door of the clothing store, their own territory. The only door is not for people to set up stalls, every time Jiang Lei comes out to stand, the problem is solved properly, and there is no need to talk nonsense at all. The clothing store now also has a signboard, and Chen's mother and aunt didn't want to waste that money in the past. As a result, when I saw the effect of the unique signboard, I was also greedy. Everyone said that the braised vegetables were delicious, and they all answered that they had a unique taste.
How good this advertisement is, Chen Ma and Ren Feixia thought about the name of the store for a long time, like what Ren Ji clothing store is, and almost didn't laugh Xiaoqing to death. What era is this, if you really have such a local name, how can there be any novelty. Since it is selling clothing, it has to conform to the trend, and the clothes in Uncle Wu's factory are relatively popular. They made Xiaoqing laugh and angry, forcing her to think. Xiaoqing jokingly mentioned two "Yi Solicitors" and "Xiayun House".
said that Yilake was impressed because Xiaoqing had seen this name before, and it was homophonic with Iraq. Of course, there are many ingredients in this joke, and Xiayun House is taken from the names of the two mothers, one is called Yun and the other is called Xia. Xiaoqing just didn't know that the two mothers were dissatisfied, and she was incompetent anyway. You see that there are a few famous people in the family, and Chen's father's name is purely rich in the characteristics of the times, how many people were called the founding of the People's Republic of China at that time? Not to mention what else was the founding of the army, the founding of the party, the National Day, and the country, and there were also big stars called Tang Guoqiang.
The two mothers also discussed with Wu Mingli for a long time, and decided to call it Yunxia House. This is also unique in Whitewater, although you don't know what it sells when you hear the name, but it will arouse people's curiosity, and the layout of the store does not belong to this era, it can be regarded as enough advertising. Signboard, Xiaoqing came up with the idea to make a light box, which appeared in his previous life, and it can be regarded as plagiarizing other people's ideas. The lights are not extinguished at night, which also adds a bit of brightness to Baishui County. After all, at night, people mostly close their doors. There are not many street lights, and they are not high-pole street lights in the future, but simply hang a horn-shaped street lamp at some intersections. In this environment, the signboard of Yunxia House is to attract everyone's attention.
Mu Ke and Xiaoqing sat at the door of the store like cotton balls, and Ren Feixia was afraid of freezing and they prepared a drying cage (made of iron wire, and in the middle was a basin that could not be repaired if it was leaked, and carbon could be put in it). Jiang Xiaohua also wanted to follow, but she was still a little scared in the face of the crowd. Chen Renqing assigned her tasks every day, doing some math in the morning and writing some pinyin. Come out again in the afternoon to help. My sister-in-law also put her hair flower here in Xiaoqing to sell, and if you have money or not, you must always have a new dress for the New Year, and if you don't have new clothes, you must have a pair of new socks. If you can't do it, you have to buy some small accessories.
After waiting for a long time, an aunt came over and asked the price, "Child, how do you sell your sugar?"
"Hello Auntie. "Xiaoqing doesn't call it like this, it doesn't mean that you can't see the age of the person, who doesn't want to be younger. She also taught Wang Ding to pay attention to them, and those who don't seem to be married or in their early twenties should be called sister, and no matter how big they are, they will be called aunts. "It depends on which one you buy? The one on the right is 8 cents, the middle one is 1 piece, and the one on the left is more expensive, because it is a White Rabbit toffee, so it is 1 piece of 5. Xiaoqing introduced her carefully.
"Then weigh me half a pound of white rabbits, and 1 will come to two pounds quickly. By the way, what about your family?" the aunt was a little afraid that they would be wrong. In case there is a shortage of catties or two, how can the child say it clearly.
"We sell it ourselves, and we're going to earn money for tuition. Rest assured, we will never be short of pounds. ”
"Alright then, weigh me so much. "This aunt is still kind-hearted, and it is not easy to watch the two children come out in the winter to make money, less is less.
Mu Ke weighed according to the amount asked by the aunt, and Xiaoqing told them that when weighing things, they must not put too much at once, but add them little by little. This is also the experience of the previous life, everyone also has the same feeling, when weighing melon seeds, others have to weigh too much, and then get it out again, there will always be a feeling that it is not enough. Mu Ke Wang Ding and the others took Xiaoqing's words as a holy decree and implemented them very seriously. The aunt herself is also looking at the scale, seeing that the child's movements are very skillful, and the amount of sugar is still very sufficient.
Since it is an opening business, Xiaoqing also wants to earn a reputation. "Auntie, you are our first customer today, and you also bought a lot, so we will give you this half a catty in the middle. If you think so, don't forget to tell us about it. Mu Ke quickly added another half catty, two kinds of sugar wrapped in kraft paper, and a bundle of rope.
"It's a total of two pieces of seven. Mu Ke finally said the first words of the day.
"Auntie, we still have a new thing here, called a red envelope. Xiaoqing took the opportunity to promote her red envelope. "You see, this is it. How decent it is to give children New Year's money during the New Year. This was brought from the provincial capital. ”
When I heard that it was the provincial capital, the aunt couldn't help but be interested. The red envelope is printed with a New Year's doll, and there are words on it that beckons wealth and treasure, which is still a little rough in Xiaoqing's opinion.
"How much does this cost?"
"It's not expensive, 5 cents for 10. If you take more, we can give you more. ”
"I buy one for 1 yuan, how many can I give?"
"Well, you give you four dollars for these things, and I'll give you another 10. ”
The aunt walked away with a smile, thinking that she had picked up a big bargain. In fact, the wholesale price of this thing is cheap, and Xiaoqing will not lose even if she sends her a few more. This is a good start, Mu Ke and Xiaoqing are busy with their legs not touching the ground, the pot of fire is taken for nothing, and there is no time at all. Yunxia House's business is also busy, and they are also wiped out. After buying clothes, many people came out and went away with some candy. It stopped in the morning to replenish the stock, and Xiaoqing and her busy lunch didn't have time to eat.
In the afternoon, Lin Xinghua also came. Lin's mother is also on winter vacation, and she originally wanted to cultivate a relationship with her son. Who knows that this child thinks about playing with children all day long, especially likes to find Xiaoqing. She joked with Chen's mother, so she just forgot about the two families. Business was good in the morning, and Mother Lin was afraid that he would be affected by the past, so she sent him over in the afternoon. Only then did I find out that Xiaoqing was also doing business, and I was surprised. When her son is still playing tricks on candy to eat, how can other daughters earn their own money. Why is there such a big gap between people and people?
Mother Lin is even more embarrassed to let Lin Xinghua stay here now. Xiaoqing understood what she meant, but this child is like herding sheep, one end is a herd and a herd. Jiang Xiaohua is here, and Lin Xinghua can be regarded as a companion when he comes. There aren't as many people in the afternoon as there are in the morning.
"Auntie, you just let Xiaohua play here, and I'll send him back when it's time to eat. ”
didn't wait for Lin Ma to speak, Lin Xinghua was unhappy, obviously the two of them were a year, and he was older if he counted the months. Why do these two girls always regard themselves as younger brothers, "I don't need you to send it, I can do it myself." I'm not going to mess with you. ”
What kind of kid is this, kindness is not rewarded. Chen Renqing almost ignored the fact that he was only 5 years old now. "Okay, you're here to stay. After a while, with Xiaohua, I will teach you the formula of addition and subtraction. ”
Then he said to Lin's mother: "Auntie, don't worry." Something busy with you. Xiaohua is fine. ”
"Okay, I'm leaving. Xiaohua has to be obedient. These words poked Lin Xinghua's weakness again, and made him obedient as if he was disobedient.
Lin Xinghua sat bored and watched Xiaoqing sell things, and Chen Renqing saw that he was bored and asked him to help sell red envelopes. After a while, Jiang Xiaohua also came out, and the four of them divided the work, Lin Xinghua and Xiaohua sold red envelopes, and Mu Ke and Xiaoqing sold candy. It was unexpected, Xiaohua's classmate's small mouth was full of horsepower, and what Xiaoqing taught him made those aunty women happy. The little flowers are just counting next to them.
Alas, it seems that the aunts still like Xiaozheng a little too much. They are so hard selling, those aunts still have to look around, and Xiao Zhengtai is different. It's not the same name, why is there such a big gap. However, Lin Xinghua's child looks very cute, with a round little face, big eyes that look like a doll painted that year, and a sweet little mouth. How can you not let these old women be cute?
Chen Renqing is no longer jealous, anyway, he works for himself, and he has to give her the money he earns. When the stall was closed, several people were about to collapse, but in fact, the worst was Xiaohua, and those aunts liked to pinch his little fleshy face. It doesn't matter if one is there, a group of weird aunts can't bear it. So his face turned red. Xiaoqing is a little weak-hearted, how to explain this to other mothers, a good child was taken advantage of by a group of old women. In fact, she wanted to laugh more, but she didn't expect the current aunts to be so cute.
Xiaoqing's winter vacation is too fulfilling. Jiang Li was not idle in the provincial capital, relying on the red envelope designed by Xiaoqing (although it was plagiarized from the creativity of later generations, but who knows now. And he made a fortune again. It seems that people are still very satisfied with this red envelope. Wu Minghao was shocked, and secretly sighed that he had lost his eyes, and these children were more evil than the other. How does this make him live? Can you not hit him like this?
Fortunately, the clothing factory was also very busy during the Chinese New Year, and the money flowed in like water. Wu Minghao didn't have time to feel sorry for himself, and he also ordered a batch of red envelopes from Jiang Li. He wants to give bonuses to workers, this year it will be almost the twentieth day of the lunar month, early holidays, a big red envelope per person, plus two catties of sugar. Anyway, he contacted it, which can be regarded as a benefit for everyone.
