Chapter 179: Knock Knock Knock Shop Open
Everything is ready, the day before the opening, Tang Qing'er, Xue Qianxun and Zhao Zishu were sure of the most important thing, and when they left, Tang Qing'er said to Zhao Zishu: "There is one thing, I have to talk to you,"
Zhao Zishu said: "What's the matter? ”
Tang Qing'er said: "It's inconvenient for me to go tomorrow, this is a sample of some soaps prepared for Lu, and tomorrow you will give them to the guest officer who comes to the store," he said, taking out a small bag and handing it to Zhao Zishu.
Zhao Zishu opened the bag and took out one, and said, "This thing is really ingenious,"
Tang Qing'er got the trial soap by cutting the rice paper into several small squares, and the soap was also made into a small piece, and on the rice paper wrap, he visually measured that the soap could be used for four or five days.
Tang Qing'er said: "Most people are more curious about what the soap looks like when they enter the shop, and when they ask the price, they will retreat, so I prepare these trial soaps, and you distribute them to everyone who comes to the shop, if they use them well, they will definitely come and buy them next time." ”
"Well, it's indeed a good idea," Zhao Zishu nodded, agreeing very much, and said to Xue Qianxun: "Brother, if you have a wife, what more can you ask for." ”
Xue Qianxun said expressionlessly: "You are not bad," referring to Wang Yanhua, the lady of the mansion.
Zhao Zishu touched his nose and said, "You're right," where can it be the same, Wang Yanhua has always ignored him, since the last time he said goodbye to the restaurant, he has always wanted to see her, and the flying pigeon wrote love poems to her, just to give her a smile.
Finally came to the opening day, Tang Qinger couldn't go, but I heard her father say that Zhao Zishu made the scene extremely lively, and invited the lion dance in the town.
Tang Qinger and Zhao Zishu argued in order to name the shop, and then Xue Qianxun combined the names of the two into one, which is the name on the plaque today: "Huizhifang." In addition to turning Master Liu into Liu's shopkeeper, he also got a few servants from Zhao's family to be the second child, and on the day of the opening, several famous grandfathers and wives in the town went to cheer, Zhao Zishu invited them to the inner compartment and talked with a few ladies, making them cover their mouths and chuckle, and bought a lot of soap when they left.
The next day was the official opening of business, Tang Qing'er went to the shop accompanied by Xue Qianxun to have a look, and talked to the shopkeeper Liu for a while, and then saw two guests coming in, looking at the age and demeanor, like a mother and daughter, seeing a few people gathered together, they also came to see the rarity.
"Huh" The girl swept the little second-hand thing, screamed in surprise, and took two steps forward, "What is this?" ”
Xiao Er hurriedly turned his head to this young lady, and handed the square soap in his hand to her, "This young lady, this is the soap handmade by our store, this one has a variety of flowers in it, the flower species are different, and the taste is different, such as this piece in your hand, it is a gardenia, washing your face with it can make your skin white and fragrant, you see that this soap is also branded with a blessing word, isn't it special and beautiful,"
The girl stretched out her hand to take it, and said with a smile, "Well, it is indeed good-looking" and asked how much, Xiao Er said the price, the girl was just right, the woman next to her heard that she wanted fifty yuan, her face was suddenly not good, this soap is so much smaller than sapon, and it is more expensive than thirty-five yuan, I think it is not cost-effective, and I reached out to get the soap in the girl's hand.
Tang Qing'er rolled her eyes twice on the side, and said to the shopkeeper Liu, "Shopkeeper, wrap me two pieces of this soap, and I want the one in the young lady's hand." ”
Shopkeeper Liu knew what he meant when he heard it, nodded with a smile, and waved his hand to let the shopkeeper wrap the soap in the young lady's hand.
The girl turned her head and coquettishly said to the woman: "Mother, this is very good, you buy it for me quickly, otherwise someone will buy it after a while, mother ......"
Shopkeeper Liu interjected with a smile on the side, exaggerating the effect of this soap, and the woman couldn't resist her daughter at the least, so she paid 50 yuan and bought a small piece of soap to go home.
When the woman and her daughter finished buying the things next to them and left the shop, the shopkeeper couldn't hold back the smile anymore, and Ha Luha laughed.
Tang Qing'er raised her eyebrows at Xue Qianxun and said, "Just now, I sang with Shopkeeper Liu and made peace with this, no one else can see it, right?" ”
Xue Qianxun turned his head not to look at her, in order to let people buy soap, he did not hesitate to deceive people, which really made his face extremely black.
On the way back, Tang Qing'er said to Xue Qianxun: "I think that at that time, there should be less stratification with Zhao Zishu, if the soap is sold more and more popular in the future, he earns so much money, and I really share so little, I feel a little angry when I think about it." This is what she thought about all night, and remembered that tens of millions of brain cells had died, so she gave it to Zhao Zishu lightly, so that he could make a lot of money, glanced at Xue Qianxun, and said straightly: "It's a pity......
Xue Qianxun said: "What do you do with so much money? ”
Tang Qing'er said shamelessly: "Of course you don't know the hardships of starvation, when you were a child, your father and mother lived with your grandparents, and the life at home was very hard at that time, there was no food in the field, and there was a large population, and you had to pay taxes, especially my family, my father was not born to my grandmother, but there were four babies, with my milk's character, can I be happy?" I remember that Jiao'er was still young at that time, and she couldn't sleep at night when she was hungry, and her mother had no choice but to feed her water to drink, and my brothers and I were better, and we could endure it, and those who survived the hard days knew what it was like to be hungry, so I wanted to keep earning money, so that my stomach was full, and my clothes were warm,"
Xue Qianxun saw Tang Qing'er jokingly saying this, the more he listened, the more astringent he became, so he had to say: "I will not let you suffer in the future, with me for a day, you will enjoy a day of happiness." ”
Tang Qing'er didn't care, waved her hand and said: "It's all in the past, I don't care, you don't take it to heart," Seeing Xue Qianxun's face full of regret, she hurriedly comforted him, and changed the topic again: "Two days ago, I sent soap to my aunt, and I heard about Xue Ning. ”
Xue Qianxun said lightly: "What does she have to do with us, don't pay attention to her." ”
Tang Qing'er knew that Xue Qianxun had never been interested in this eldest sister, but she still wanted to say such gossip from his mouth, shook his arm and said, "Just talk to me," she didn't believe that Xue Qianxun would not pay attention to Xue Ning's affairs after marriage.
Xue Qianxun said helplessly: "Only this once,"
Tang Qing'er stretched out her finger and swore, "I guarantee that this is the last time,"
Xue Qianxun didn't say anything, and said to Sanshun in the back: "You talk to her!" ”
Sanshun has the same hobby as the Qing'er girl, and when she saw her looking at herself, she hurriedly said: "After the eldest lady married Guo Gongzi, she lived a very happy life, but her mother-in-law always disliked her, spent money lavishly, and didn't do any housework, especially after marrying into the Guo family, she also brought the maid over, and she was very dissatisfied,"
Seeing that Miss Qing'er signaled him to hurry up with her eyes, she continued: "The eldest lady endured it once or twice, but after a long time, the young lady lost her temper and said to Cai: I spent money lavishly because my mother's family accompanied me as a dowry, and I don't want to spend my own dowry money, but can your family have money for me to spend?" I don't know how to do housework, let the maid do it, my own maid can do whatever I want, and you don't need to pay her every month,"
Cai's stutter trembled angrily, and said slowly: "It's against you, I have never married into my mother-in-law's family for two months, and my daughter-in-law who is working against my mother-in-law, you really give you a long face in Xue Mansion,"
The eldest lady said: "What does this have to do with our Xue Mansion, I married into your Guo family, I am the woman of your Guo family, your Guo family is not spending my money on food and clothing now, I said nothing, I actually disliked me, if it weren't for me, would you be able to eat big fish and meat every day?" ”
Sanshun breathed a sigh of relief and said: "My uncle was also present at the time, but on one side was the old lady and on the other hand was the daughter-in-law, he was in a dilemma, so he could only sit in the middle and listen to their quarrels. ”
The aunt said like an old man: "Mother, don't be angry, Ning'er is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, saying that she really hasn't been in the kitchen, how can you ask her to cook for you, with the maid here, you are not a lot easier, you don't have to get up early to cook for us." ”
Seeing that his son was facing his daughter-in-law every word, Cai's face was full of anger and said, "Is it still my fault?" ”
The uncle hurriedly apologized: "It's all my son's fault,"
The eldest lady was not happy at that time, so she pulled a face and asked her uncle: "Then you mean to marry me and marry the wrong one,"
Seeing that her mother and daughter-in-law had been arguing, and they didn't give in to each other, she said loudly: "Can you stop arguing, do you force me not to go home, you are satisfied,"
The eldest lady was a little scared, and muttered in a low voice: "It's not the mother-in-law's fault, I don't have anything to do,"
Cai Shi said angrily: "It's all you, a good-for-nothing thing, worthy of being a concubine, you don't understand the rules at all." ”
The eldest lady hated others to say that she was raised by a concubine the most in her life, so her face turned blue, and she laughed twice: "If it weren't for you, wouldn't my aunt be my father's concubine?" Didn't you spend a penny on my mother to say this to my face, and you weren't afraid that I would tell my aunt. ”
Cai sneered: "You go, if you are afraid, I won't say it." ”
The uncle originally expected the two to stop arguing, but the more he said it, the more excessive, the last time he threw up his sleeves and left, leaving the two daughters to quarrel at home.
After Tang Qing'er listened, she covered her mouth and snickered: "This is your eldest sister, a man who is tired of life and wants to marry, so unmanly, he can't even catch up with you,"
Hearing this, Xue Qianxun was happy, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Do you still know how good I am?" Sanshun slowed down very self-consciously and walked five steps away from the two of them.
Tang Qing'er said proudly: "That's it, it's good to have anything but thick skin,"
Xue Qianxun joked: "Only with thick skin can you marry a daughter-in-law," and being thin-skinned is Zhou Xuan's fate.
Xue Qianxun took Tang Qing'er's hand and walked back slowly: "It's really fast, it's about to be autumn," and in a few months, I will be able to marry her home.
Tang Qing'er didn't know what he was thinking, nodded and said, "Yes, the autumn exam is going to be taken soon, and I don't know if Tang Yang and Tang Liang can be admitted,"
Xue Qianxun said with relief: "I asked the master, if nothing happens, both of them can be admitted to Xiucai, you can rest assured!" I think the two of them want to be admitted to this show more than anyone else. ”
Tang Qing'er changed from the smile on her face just now to worry, and she could only nod slightly.
