Chapter 190: The Little Shop Opened
Since Liao Chengzhi took over the role of the big shopkeeper, he has been walking with a flutter. If it weren't for the fact that the child's mother was a woman, he really couldn't show up to manage and build the house, he couldn't wait to be able to hand over the affairs of the house to the child's mother, and he would immediately go to be the shopkeeper.
Well! If you have a place to live, you can go and bring your uncle over, and it would be good to help you build a house. Thinking of his eldest brother and father-in-law's house, he thought of his brother and father-in-law, and at this moment he felt that he had to thank his father and mother for forcing him to leave his hometown and come here. If he doesn't come here, where will this great opportunity come his way? His heart now did not have the same resentment and anger as before, but he did not dare to say this to his own woman, for fear that she would be sad when she heard it.
Liao Chengzhi is working on the construction site, but his heart is running at high speed. He felt that he had too many things to do: first, he had to seize the time to learn to know more words, whether he could write, but he must be able to know, so as not to be fooled. Second, we must learn to read the ledger simply, not to count, but at least to be able to read. Third, we must build the house as much as possible, and deal with the things at hand so that we can take office.
Liao Chengzhi, who was tired all day, did not go out as before after dinner, but picked up the large-character manuscript paper that his son put at home and recognized them one by one. If you don't know it, make a mark, and wait until tomorrow to ask the gentleman in the school. Liao Lin knitted yarn clothes on the side, and now she has also learned to knit clothes, and has received some manual money in her free time.
Liao Lin looked at the squinting eyes in the dim candlelight, struggling to recognize some of the big characters written by his son Holly. said with emotion: "His father! Let's be honest! Before I came, I just thought about the hardships of being in a foreign land and how hard my life would be. But I never thought that you would have to be the big shopkeeper one day. Looking back now, I don't blame my sister-in-law and mother-in-law at all. I always feel like this is God's arrangement, just to lead you here. ”
Liao Chengzhi smiled when he heard it, it turned out that his own women also felt the same way as himself. All the words that can be recognized have been selected, and the rest is really unrecognizable. He simply put the two piles of paper aside and concentrated on chatting with his woman.
"Yes! I feel that way too! At the beginning, he was forced to leave the well. I feel very uncomfortable in my heart, and I have an unspeakable fear wherever I go, so I hate them in my heart so much that I wish I would never see each other for the rest of my life. Later, he met the Shoucheng brothers on the road. When he said I could come to their house, I felt better.
The reason why I am optimistic about this place and willing to come here; One is because I have a good relationship with Shoucheng brothers; Second, it is also to see that the brothers of the owner family have good skills, if they can rely on them, they will follow them to the grassland every year. It's okay to earn two or three hundred taels a trip. Just never thought of it. There will be such a great thing waiting for me here! When I first came here, the Shoucheng brothers told the owner that they wanted me to follow him as the second master, and that I could get three hundred taels of silver for one trip, and he also allowed me to bring a little little bit of my own money and earn some pocket money.
I'm so busy building a house that I haven't had time to get to work yet! The proprietor and the proprietor's wife suddenly told me that they would ask me to be the chief treasurer, and in addition to the salary, they would give me another 1% of the dividends in the business I managed. I'm a little proprietor, isn't it?! You said. If it weren't for our parents and their coercion, where would we have thought of coming here to beg for a living?! If you don't come here. Where will you get this great good thing! We've become a small proprietor with a dime! Ha, ha, why do I always feel like I'm dreaming?! ”
Liao Lin looked at his man's eyes in confusion, and he wanted to laugh but not laugh. was a little scared, took the bamboo needle for knitting the sweater, poked the back of the man's hand, and asked carefully: "Daddy, child!" Are you okay? ”
Liao Chengzhi was stabbed a little painfully and woke up. smiled and said, "I'm fine!" It's just a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of good luck that I have such a lot of good luck, and a little bit of a smashing feeling. It's okay, don't worry! ”
I won't say much about the things between the Liao family and the couple, and let's say that Erya and Xiaohu know that Liao Chengzhi's house can't be busy for a while, and they don't really need to wait for him to free his hands before opening the business.
Xiaohu and his family didn't choose any good days or good days, but just watched the sun rise on this day, without wind and clouds. The children's clothes, children's socks, baby clothes, baby shoes, baby socks, artillery battles, flower baskets, and horse-drawn carriages were all pulled to the shops in the provincial capital. With a large group of people in the past, Liao Chengzhi also followed. There are many good people, and things are sorted out in less than an hour, and the ones that should be hung up, the yard number of the yard, and the inventory of the stock. On both sides of the door, there are flower baskets made of silk flowers made by the girls, and they are cleaned up. Finally, a super long cannon battle was set off before noon.
Because there was no greeting, Shopkeeper Chen, Shopkeeper Zhao, Shopkeeper Zhang and Hongxiu Dongjia all got the news temporarily and hurried over in a carriage to cheer up. As a result, when I saw that Erya had made the opening so simple, it was like a child playing at home, and everyone was annoyed and just wanted to scold people.
Erya doesn't care what others think, anyway, in her previous world, the opening was like this, just put a few flower baskets and put a cannon fight. Otherwise, how do you want to drop?!
Because when he was at home before, he had already asked Zhu Jinling and the other two boys who were clerks to memorize the prices of various products, so after the firecracker, Erya didn't care about the things inside, but together with Xiaohu and Liao Chengzhi, invited a few old shopkeepers who came to congratulate him and a Hongxiu owner to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
At the dinner table, before the third round of wine, the shopkeeper Zhang wanted to say something: "Little lady of the Wang family, originally on the day of your opening today, there is something that you shouldn't tell you, you are troubled, but I think it is better to let you know about this matter earlier!" ”
"What's the matter? Uncle Zhang said it! I don't care. Er Ya said indifferently.
Shopkeeper Zhang was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart why didn't this girl feel nervous at all?! But he didn't think too much about it, and said directly: "Even the people I told you last time also want to run a sweater weaving workshop, and recently the Splendid Embroidery House in Xitou has also produced the same sweaters as we sell, and their prices are one-third cheaper than ours." ”
Erya didn't speak for a long time, not because she was frightened and couldn't speak, but because she expected it earlier, and there was really nothing to say.
Because this matter involves the vital interests of Hongxiu Embroidery, Erya didn't speak for a long time, and the Hongxiu owner was a little anxious, but he also knew that he couldn't force Erya too tightly, so he had to set his eyes on Xiaohu. Relatively speaking, he is more familiar with Xiaohu.
Xiaohu helps deliver the goods and collect the money, but if he wants to have any ideas in this regard, it won't work. So when he received the distress of the Hongxiu owner, he turned to look at his daughter-in-law stupidly.
Erya looked around and saw that everyone was silently looking at her, so she had to speak: "Uncle Zhang, don't worry about it, you can just sell it at the previous price." I can give you two more points. ”
The owner of Hongxiu is not satisfied, he can't sell it, and it makes no sense to let any points. But things belong to other people, and how much people are willing to sell depends on themselves.
But Erya has another idea, she is not not allowed to fight with others, but she feels that there is no need for that, because her focus is about to shift to the north, the market in this provincial capital has reached a semi-saturated state, and it is not meaningful to compete with others to occupy the market.
Ay! If only the craftsmen surnamed Jin could come quickly, the sooner they fiddled with the weaving machine, the sooner they could do low-cost wholesale business to other places, and the sooner they could occupy the foreign market.
This craftsman surnamed Jin, who is remembered by Erya, can be regarded as quite noisy during this time.
The old grandfather of the Jin family shouted angrily at his eldest son: "Why didn't you say hello to me and secretly returned the fields?" You want to go to that place where the mountains and rivers are so poor that even ghosts don't lay eggs, go yourself! Lao Tzu won't go with you anyway. I'm just going to die here and rot here, and I'm not going! ”
The boss of the Jin family patiently said to the old man: "Dad! We can't even provide food and clothing here, let alone educate our children. Now that the second brother finally got such an opportunity, they still gave fifty taels of silver in advance, if we don't go. One is to lose credibility, and the other is to bury the future of future generations. Dad, why can't you understand the hearts of your sons? ”
Old man Jin's original anger was extinguished by the eldest son's mournful voice. He also lamented: "It's not that your father and I are unreasonable to stop you, it's really the place your second brother said, you don't know the situation!"
The people there were very poor, and they were all refugees who fled from various places in the south, east, and west during the war. It would be great if they were able to live until they didn't starve to death, and where could they have the money to buy a machine to spin and weave cloth. We can't feed our family well in the rich land of Jiangnan where there are many manufacturing workshops, and how can we feed this big family in a place where we can't even afford a loom? All we can rely on is this craft, and where this craft is useless, how can we survive? ”
The second child of the Jin family hurriedly said, "Dad! Don't worry, haven't I told you how many times?! I had already told the lady of the proprietor's house that it was the kind that depended on their family to live and take offerings. We don't have to make a living on our own! ”
The boss of the Jin family also hurriedly followed and persuaded: "Yes! Dad, we have passed, so we don't have to worry about dressing and eating, and we can also give the children in the family the opportunity to study, and we will have a bright future in the future, what a good thing! Father! ”
The old father of the Jin family shook his head sadly and said, "How good do you think it is to eat and worship?" At the beginning, your grandfather almost died on this food offering, do you want to follow this old path again? (To be continued......)
