Chapter 120: Making a living
Seeing this, Jiang couldn't help but secretly complain that Mrs. Liu was really ignorant, even if there was a big matter that was not good to say in front of Second Master Su, she shouldn't have made such an obvious sneaky behavior, and she would be suspected of doing something unsightly by Second Master Su, so when she thought about it, she immediately scolded: "In front of the master, you can go back if you have something, what do you say?"
Liu Erjia was reprimanded like this, and he didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly said: "It's Miss Jin's father and mother, who came in to pick up Miss Jin back, saying that Miss Jin's aunt suddenly felt a bad illness and asked Miss Jin to go back quickly, but Steward Shen couldn't stop it, I was afraid that she would already go out." β
What? Jiang Shi suddenly changed color and shouted: "What kind of place do they think Yuanping Bofu is, come and go at will? Why don't you stop it." β
Liu Erjia trembled and said: "The slave and maid wanted to stop it, but Mrs. Jin made a big noise at the second gate, saying that her daughter was a guest in Bofu, not a prisoner, and her biological parents came to pick her up in person, why couldn't she leave? β
"When will it be the turn of the big house to take care of the affairs of my second room?" Jiang was so angry that he wanted to scold.
Second Master Su spoke, "You are right, this is still Yuanping Bofu, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, how can you be disrespectful to the eldest sister-in-law? β
"Master......" Jiang Shi looked at the attitude of Second Master Su and the two of them just now.
The second master of Su who achieved the goal was too lazy to talk nonsense with the Jiang family, he was now seeing that his old wife was becoming more and more unpleasant, so he immediately raised his feet and left.
Jiang broke a teacup angrily.
Liu Erjia, who knew Jiang's temperament, lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word, for fear of being angered by Jiang......
A few days later, after some planning, Second Master Su, who saw that he had fulfilled his wish, drank a little wine in Aunt Piaopiao's room, and was told the truth by Aunt Piaopiao.
This Jin Xiuyu was indeed sent to the Dingwang Mansion, but the second master Su is a person. It will not be true, not to mention that this is his niece and son-in-law, and it will hinder his reputation. This is a gift that has taken several turns, except for the person who received the gift. Others have no idea who sent it.
Second Master Su was also drunk, and he was only scolded by his concubine for a while.
After Piao Piao listened, she couldn't help but smile proudly, this time the Jiang family really stole chickens and rice, she just secretly put a message down, and the Jiang people turned their backs, there is no impermeable strength in the world. Now the Jiang family is annoyed, the mother's family lived in the house for two days, and was sent to the Dingwang Mansion within a few days, and before the combination, the Jiang family came to the door but was given a cold reception. As long as the people in the third room have a little brain, they will know what is going on, and then the Jiang family will have to bear it again.
People like Jiang just can't let her live too comfortably, let her be too comfortable, and others will suffer.
Over there in the county lord's mansion.
Su Yiqing was still looking at the account book. This month's income and expenditure have come out, and the income of her several dowry shops has dropped significantly, and two rented out stores have closed down due to poor management by the boss, which was not due to expire, but the boss's family said that it was pitiful. I hope to sublet it out as much as possible to get the deposit back.
This is her storefront, the previous boss did not have the right to sublease out, but to help find an interested tenant to take over, it is not easy to find a good faith business, in case of renting to a person who has been abducted and deceived to cause trouble, it will affect the owner of the house.
Therefore, she couldn't find a shared house for a while, Su Yiqing sympathized with the boss's business failure, life was already difficult, and she didn't want to deduct the little deposit of others, forcing people to cry every day, so she simply deducted the rent of the month a little, and the rest of the deposit was returned to others.
It's just this account...... Doing business is not so easy, although she has heard Xu say a little before, but after all, she is not so familiar, Xu does not want her daughter to be like her, so she just teaches a rough lesson, and it is okay to be able to calculate accounts and maintain a balance without being fooled by Diao slaves, most of the woman's energy is still to be spent on her husband and children, otherwise she wants to be the same as Mrs. Zhou, what is the use of making more money?
Besides, even if it is teaching, some of them also rely on talent, there are not many business-minded women like Mrs. Zhou, even the Xu family is just following Mrs. Zhou's old way and there are a group of capable shopkeepers to help, so that the dowry in the shop and the grange and so on are prosperous.
Su Yiqing couldn't help but feel annoyed.
Waiting next to her are Mama Yin, Mama Liang and Xin'er and a few, Su Yiqing wants to ask their opinions to see if there are any good strategies, now the income of these shops and granges has not met her expectations, as the saying goes, one person counts short and two people count long, these people are still smart, maybe there is a good strategy.
Mama Yin's interests are the most important, and as soon as Su Yiqing asked, she immediately preemptively said: "County lord, it is better to make more money by renting the shop to others to collect rent than opening a shop yourself, these shops are in good locations, and the county lord still opens a shop by himself." β
Although these words did not make much progress, since Su Yiqing wanted to ask the opinions of several people, she still nodded encouragingly and said, "According to Mama, what is better to make a living?"
Yin Mama said: "One of these is a tea house, selling tea to make less money, the most profitable is the restaurant, we have Zhuangzi, food, fruits, vegetables and meat can be completely self-sufficient, save these things can not be eaten and sold in pieces and trouble, as long as the location is good, the price is fair, most of them are sure to make money." β
Su Yiqing asked Mama Liang and Xin'er again: "What do you see?"
Mama Liang hesitated for a moment and said: "In terms of business alone, the restaurant is good, but the restaurant is also a place of right and wrong, the guests are drunk and fight and make trouble, and there are ruffians who blackmail, and even those who don't pay for dinner. β
As soon as Mama Liang's words fell, Mama Yin said with disdain: "We are not those little door effects, there are those ruffians and hooligans who dare to blackmail us, let alone dare to eat white food, as for the nobles, can they still have trouble with the county lord for a table of wine and food? It is easier to get drunk and make trouble, just hire a few more skilled guards." β
Mama Liang said: "What Mama Yin said is that most people know that this restaurant is opened by the county lord, but we can't shout all over the world that this is a restaurant opened by the county lord, right? β
Mama Yin was speechless, indeed, this noble person does business, although many times everyone knows it, but it will not blatantly say that Mrs. Zhou also opened a restaurant back then, and it was not her own destiny, but at that time she did not hear that Mrs. Zhou's restaurant had any major incidents, but what she said was refuted several times, and she couldn't help but say to Mama Liang: "What does Mama Liang have high opinions?"
Mama Liang said with a smile: "The old slave in the restaurant is not very insightful, but there is a shop pΓΉ used to open a cloth village, and the old slave asked himself to serve in the palace for so many years that he had some experience in clothing and decorations, and opened a cloth village, which is nothing more than a matter of purchasing vision." β
"Oh, does Mama Liang still want to recommend herself to be the shopkeeper of the cloth village?" Mama Yin said with a hint of sneer.
Mama Liang said to Su Yiqing: "If the county lord allows, the old slave is willing to give some advice, as for the shopkeeper, the old slave can't do it, but he can recommend his relatives." β
said her thoughts so frankly, Mama Yin was dumbfounded again, it's not bad to think about it, if Mama Liang goes to the shop to help, won't she have one less competition?
Su Yiqing thought for a moment and said: "Mama Liang doesn't avoid her relatives, since Mama is so self-volunteering, I will give Mama a chance, but who are your relatives, what kind of business you have made and how you plan to open the purchase channels of Buzhuang can be clear, after you have asked your relatives carefully, come up with a specific charter."
Mama Liang nodded yes.
Finally solved a shop, and couldn't become a fat man in one bite, Su Yiqing felt a smile, and waved them down.
Xin'er returned to the backyard, Qingwu greeted her diligently, since she knew that her father was temporarily fine, and her mother and younger brother were also accepted into the county lord's mansion, her family was very grateful, and her mother also sent her fourteen-year-old brother to the outer courtyard to do things, saying that she didn't need monthly money, and that being a low-level maid was to wash horses and sweep toilets and other foul words, and always did things for the county lord.
The county lord has no shortage of people to serve, and her mother stays in the maid's courtyard, helping wherever there is work, and this kind of temperament is pleasing everywhere.
After Xin'er returned to the house, Qingwu brought a cup of tea and said, "Sister Xin'er, this is my mother's home-made dried fruit tea, it has been dry for the past two days, and it is good for my throat to drink it." β
"Thank you. Xin'er tasted it, and it was really fragrant and delicious, and she praised it casually, "Auntie's craftsmanship is really good, by the way, I saw that Sungai was a little hoarse that day, can you give her some." β
Qingwu said with a smile: "I have already sent it, Sister Shuangxi said that she didn't sleep well, probably did too much needlework, her eyes hurt, my mother also made her a wild chrysanthemum pillow, do you want to make one and give it a try?"
"You have a heart, I'm used to sleeping on buckwheat pillows. Xin'er said lightly, and then thought about it, "Maybe you can make one for the county lord, I think the county lord doesn't seem to be in good spirits these days." β
Qingwu was a little nervous and said: "It's no problem to make a pillow, but the wild chrysanthemum pillow is made of wild chrysanthemums that can be picked all over the mountains, and the county lord has a noble status, why don't you find the steward in charge of flowers and plants to collect some precious chrysanthemums to dry and make one for the county lord?"
