"Why?" Lin Hongwen sat down next to Zhou Shiying, and carefully looked at the square scarf in his hand, "Why do they like it?" ”

"This cloth is foreign cloth, light, thin and soft, the price is more expensive than our homespun cloth, but compared with silk, it is much cheaper", Zhou Shiying looked at Lin Hongwenle, "Alas, in vain you know that you have to go to Sister Hong to sell perfume, why don't you understand a woman's mind at all?" ”

"Don't sell lawsuits", Lin Hongwen said a little impatiently, "I don't have a deep relationship with her, how can I understand her mind." ”

"Okay, I won't laugh at you. Women like to be pretty, as long as the clothes are good-looking, they can't wait to look at one and buy another. However, whether it is homespun cloth or silk, it is much more durable than this foreign cloth. Do you think, they buy a dress, and before they can wear it out, they will look at another one, and the more they buy, what will happen to the old ones? It's too bad to throw it away, don't throw it away to take up space", Zhou Shiying shook the square scarf, "The foreign cloth is different, if you wear it for a year or two, if it is broken, then you should buy a new one." ”

"You mean that because it is not durable, it sells more", Lin Hongwen asked.

"That's right", Zhou Shiying snapped her fingers, "I've inquired, the Fu family shop sells foreign cloth, and there is no one for the time being." Let's sell, that's the first one. But of course, we can't just sell foreign fabrics, like those road construction team people, you have to sell their foreign cloth, and if it breaks down for a while, they can't come to us, they have to buy durable ones. In the past few days, I have set up a line in the city, and the supplier is also from the south, I see that he has some foreign cloth and homespun cloth left, the quantity is not much, so I ordered it, and I also instructed him, in the future, foreign cloth is not allowed to be given to others, all to us. ”

"Do you have the money to order?" Lin Hongwen looked at him in wonder.

"Yes, the money from selling perfumes, in addition to the rent, there is still some left", Zhou Shiying said, "I paid the deposit, but I told him that our shop has just opened, and we will have to give him the money next month, and he agreed." ”

"You don't even know where the shop is, so you dare to give him a deposit", Lin Hongwen looked at Zhou Shiying worriedly, "You don't want to think about what I will do if I trick you?" ”

"If you fool me, I have to live here", Zhou Shiying said, "The worst thing is to sell along the street, can I still let it smash my hands?" ”

Lin Hongwen pressed his temples with a headache, "I have something to tell you." ”

"What?"

"From today onwards, you are the owner of this shop to the outside world", Lin Hongwen took out a bag of silver and handed it to Zhou Shiying, "I can't leave the hospital for the time being, so it's inconvenient to always come and walk around, I'll pay for it, you contribute, understand?" ”

"Understood", Zhou Shiying took the silver with a broken face, "I am a long-term worker." ”

"Aren't you a wrapper?"

"Why don't you talk about child daughters-in-law!" Zhou Shiying took the silver and slapped Lin Hongwen twice, "You wait for me to make money, this shop will be the boss sooner or later." ”

As he was talking, a person came in from outside the door, Lin Hongwen raised his eyes and said, "No need to be sooner or later, now it's the two bosses, come, get to know each other, this is He Mu, this shop is what he took back." He Mu, this is Zhou Shiying, in business, you have to learn more from him. ”

He Mu bowed like Zhou Shiying, "I don't know much about business, and I will ask Brother Zhou for more guidance in the future." ”

"It's too polite", Zhou Shiying returned the salute, pulled He Mu and asked, "Isn't this shop not done when it expires?" ”

He Mu subconsciously glanced at Lin Hongwen, Lin Hongwen motioned for him to discuss with the two of them, He Mu returned to his senses and explained to Zhou Shiying with a smile, "I thought Hongwen had told you, the original boss of this shop owed me money, and he was afraid that I would collect debts and use the deed as collateral, so I didn't urge him at first, but after delaying again and again, he said that he had no money." I haven't known Hongwen for a long time, but I feel very close to each other, and when I heard that he was looking for a shop, I remembered it. Last month I came with the deed, and they still didn't have the money to pay it back, and I said that since I didn't have the money to pay it back, I had to take the shop. They begged me again to give them some time to sort out the goods, which was not done until yesterday. ”

"I said it", Zhou Shiying suddenly realized, "Last month, I said that he would take me to the shop to have a look, but he said that it hadn't arrived yet, so I wondered for several days, did I meet a liar." ”

Lin Hongwen smiled and shook his head, "This time you can rest assured, by the way, you just said that your deposit has been placed, what about the goods?" ”

"It's piled up in my place", Zhou Shiying said, "You don't have to worry, these are all small things, I can do it alone, not to mention what else is there now, but my brother is settling accounts, how to divide the money earned, we have to explain it first." ”

"How are you going to divide it, tell me about it," Lin Hongwen said.

Zhou Shiying checked the bag of silver, "Hongwen, you have twenty taels, the shop belongs to He Mu, I can't take out a copper plate for the time being, but", Zhou Shiying's words changed, "You can't make money without me, so I want to draw 20% of the money I earn, and the rest of you are 40% each, how about it?" ”

"It's fair," Mr. Lin said.

He Mu also nodded, "I think it's also very good." ”

"Since that's the case, let's come like this", Zhou Shiying looked at Lin Hongwen, "Shouldn't you go back to the hospital?" ”

"Yes."

"Then you go back first", Zhou Shiying said, "The rest of the things, He Mu and I are busy." ”

"Okay", Lin Hongwen glanced at He Mu, raised his legs and walked out of the door.

"I'm going to send Hongwen," He Mu said, and walked out with him.

The two walked silently for a long time, one after the other, until they left Xinxing Street, He Mu said, "I will definitely hand over a lot of the money earned by the shop to you." ”

Lin Hongwen looked back at him, "Then what do you live on?" ”

"I ......" He Mu looked at Lin Hongwen for a while, and lowered his head again, he was very grateful to Lin Hongwen for helping him, but at the same time, he was a little stunned.

"Didn't you say you wanted to eat with me?" Lin Hongwen took a step forward and looked at He Mu carefully, "This outfit is very good, and it is much more pleasing to the eye than before." Since we are doing the business of fabric, we have to dress better, and you will go buy a few more clothes in the next two days. ”

He Mu looked up at Lin Hongwen in a daze, Lin Hongwen smiled, "Look at what I'm doing, you will take how much money Zhou Shiying will give you in the future." The shop was bought for twenty taels, when you give me twenty taels, let's even if we pay two clear, whether it is now or in the future, you are one of the owners of this shop. ”

"How can this work", He Mu said, "I don't have the ability to make money like Zhou Shiying, how can I be the boss." ”

"Can I have the final say", Lin Hongwen gently brushed He Mu's shoulder, "You remember one thing, I have never treated my own people badly." You also saw it today, Shi Ying is a businessman, he is very good at making money, but he is too obedient. If everyone follows the rules, then he can do well, but if someone doesn't follow the rules, he can't play. You and I know how the shop came about. Originally, the people who did business in this Xinxing Street were all in the same spirit, but now we are forced to step in, and others don't know what to think. Although we don't want to harm anyone, we have to guard against it, the people you have seen are different from those you have seen in Shi Ying, with you here, to be honest, I am much more relieved. ”

"Little boss......" He Mu looked at him gratefully, Lin Hongwen shook his head, "Don't call me that in the future, if you miss it one day, let Shi Ying be suspicious when she hears it, didn't you call me Hongwen in the shop just now?" That's what I'll call it from now on. ”

"Hongwen", He Mu held Lin Hongwen's hand, trembling with excitement, "Hongwen, don't worry, I will definitely help Shi Ying take care of the shop and protect you." ”

After He Mu finished speaking, he felt rude and let go of Lin Hongwen's hand, but he was still moved and couldn't help himself, and frequently raised his head to wipe the corners of his eyes. Lin Hongwen said with a smile, "Why are you crying while talking, by the way, you have been here for the past few days, have those people embarrassed you?" ”

He Mu shook his head, "It seems that they have gone to recruit workers recently, and besides, I have changed my clothes and I haven't been from there, they shouldn't recognize me." ”

"That's good", Lin Hongwen took out his pocket and took out a bag of candy, "I passed by the grocery store that day, and remembered that you used to say that the candy he had there looked delicious, so I went in and bought some." I think this candy wrapper is pretty good, you can take it and play with Shi Ying. ”

He Mu took the candy, his eyes were moist, and Lin Hongwen said, "Okay, you originally meant to send me, and it's been a while since I came out, so go back quickly." ”

He Mu nodded in response, and hurriedly turned around and went back. Lin Hongwen watched him walk away, the corners of his mouth slowly converged, and he turned to the medical hall, without a trace of a smile on his lips and eyes.

35.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Hongwen bought some paper money and ingots, thinking about burning them for Lin Xingshen and Lin Hongming at night. As a result, when I was drawing circles at the crossroads, I met Zhou Shiying, who was also holding paper money. Lin Hongwen watched Zhou Shiying draw circles one after another on the ground, and couldn't help asking, "How many people are you going to burn?" ”

Zhou Shiying didn't answer, took out a bottle of wine, which was full of foreign texts, he poured most of the bottle on the ground, turned his head to look at Lin Hongwen and said, "The entire caravan is dead." ”

After not knowing each other for a long time, Zhou Shiying was always smiling, so much so that Lin Hongwen almost forgot that he was actually a person who escaped death, and now that he thinks about it, he can't help but sigh.

Zhou Shiying took a sip of wine and stuffed the bottle to Lin Hongwen, "Taste it." ”

Lin Hongwen took a sip without knowing how deep or shallow, but the wine was so strong that it seemed to burn the entire esophagus, he frowned and returned the wine bottle to Zhou Shiying and asked, "What kind of wine is this?" ”
