Since Tang Tiezhu moved to the town, the empty garden in the backyard of his home was planted with vegetables, and the flowers and trees planted in front of the courtyard were turned over and over by him, and finally Li couldn't look at it and said to him: "Don't get it again, if you are really idle and panic, go back to Tangjia Village to see the land." ”

Tang Qing'er has been thinking about what her father can do after moving to the town, opening a shop is a little dazzling, hard work and a little distressed for him, after all, the family still has some family background, and finally thought of a way, but I don't know if her father can agree.

Tang Qing'er saw that her father and mother were at home, so she walked to their house and said to them: "Dad, in fact, I have thought of a way to make money, I don't know if it suits your heart." ”

Tang Tiezhu had been at home for a long time and was a little depressed, and when his daughter said how to make money, he couldn't wait to say: "What a way, say it quickly,"

Tang Qing'er was a little embarrassed: "The way I said to make money is to let my father recycle things like cabinets or ceramics from large households." "As the saying goes, you take the rags.

Tang Tiezhu said: "Why didn't I understand." ”

"It's my dad driving the ox cart in the town shouting to recycle the old tables, chairs, cabinets, ceramic bowls, teacups, etc. of the old big families."

Li didn't understand either, and asked: "What is the use of buying old things, even if they are selling, who is willing to buy them?" ”

Tang Qing'er said with a smile: "We re-polish the old things that came back, use tung paint and sell them to others, and we buy them at a low price and a high price." ”

Tang Tiezhu asked: "Is anyone willing to spend money to buy it?" ”

"Why don't you have it, do you know that the furniture of these big families is actually good mahogany, because it is slightly flawed or old, it is not used, we buy it to repaint it, buy it for others, and we will definitely make money."

"That's a good idea, but if I knock on the door of a big family, they will definitely kick me out, how can they sell it to me?"

Tang Qing'er said with a smile: "Dad, you just need to ask the janitor and ask him to help inform the housekeeper," the housekeeper is responsible for the daily life of a large family, but the housekeeper must know everything about every little thing.

Tang Tiezhu thought about it and thought it was feasible, so he said: "Well, this method is good, but Daddy doesn't have that skill." With the motivation to make money, he feels refreshed.

"Dad, I've seen your craftsmanship, and if I haven't seen it, I can't give you this idea,"

Tang Tiezhu scratched his head honestly and said, "Hehe." "It's a little embarrassing to be praised by my daughter.

Tang Qing'er said again: "Actually, I want you to bring your younger brothers to accompany you,"

Li said: "No, they still have to study, how can they go with your father, saying that they will be officials in the future, how can they do such a disgraceful thing." ”

Tang Qing'er said with a calm face: "Mother, we have protected them too well, causing them not to know the hardships of life, let Dad take them to recycle things, they can not only experience the difficulties of life, but also understand how to talk to outsiders." "Whether the younger brothers will be officials or businessmen in the future, through contact with people, they will know that there are all kinds of people in this world, and if they can talk and laugh with these people, then they will be able to do anything in the future.

The three Tang Yang brothers, who were hiding outside their father's door, heard it, opened the curtain and entered the house, and said in unison: "Dad, let's go with you." ”

Tang Qing'er smiled with satisfaction, since she was going to live in the town, she planned to let her younger brothers know what habits all the big families in the town had from the rags, which would do more good than harm to them.

Tang Tiezhu was a little worried: "If you go to a big family to collect old things, what should you do if the Xue family knows about it?" His family is a big family in the town, if the Yue family, who knows Xun'er from others, actually collects old things, what will be the face of his family? ”

"Dad, we don't steal or rob, we earn money with our own hands seriously, why do we say that we look down on us, if we accept the help of their family, then they will make his family look down on it!" There is no distinction between high and low in making money, and Xue Qianxun is not such a superficial person who can accept her ideas.

But I still said hello to him, so that afternoon, when Xue Qianxun came to the house, Tang Qing'er told him her thoughts, Xue Qianxun was not unhappy, but said lightly: "You don't need to care about what anyone says and thinks, you can do it if you think it's good." ”

Tang Qing'er had expected this idea, but she was still happy from the inside out when she heard him say this.

Xue Qianxun said: "How did you think of such a way to make money, no one in the town did this." ”

"This ...... This one...... I just thought of it suddenly," Tang Qing'er stammered.

"Oh......."

Two days later, Li handed the money bag to Tang Liang, because he was the fastest person in the family, Tang Liang hung the money bag on his chest, Tang Tiezhu pulled the ox cart out of the yard, the car was covered with a layer of hay, and there were four or five bamboo baskets, and the bamboo baskets were also laid with straw, ready to put ceramic dishes, these were prepared according to Tang Qinger's requirements, because ceramics are fragile products, and straw was laid to make them not fragile.

The further south you go, the more neat and wide the streets become, and the more tall and gorgeous the houses become, this is the grandfather's house of the rich man in the town, Tang Tiezhu led the ox cart and walked through the bustling streets, and after a while, he was sweating.

According to what his daughter said, he, like the people who deliver firewood to large families, walked through the back door, turned into a slightly narrow alley from the street, knocked on the door one by one and asked the gatekeeper: "Is there any old porcelain to sell?" Old furniture is also available. ”

The person who opened the door was usually a cook or a handyman, and probably had not seen anyone who came to collect these, and looked at her a little strangely, some of them went back directly, and some were patient, and told them to wait at the door, and went to help them find the housekeeper and said, "I'll ask the housekeeper," and then he would say: "The housekeeper said, no." ”

No one sold old furniture for a few days in a row, and the man of the Tang family couldn't help but be a little frustrated, but Tang Tiezhu cheered up: "It's impossible to do anything to sleep, you have to take your time, we've only been gone for a few days, and you're so frustrated, this is much easier than before when my father farmed,"

Today, Tang Tiezhu took his sons to ask more than ten people in a row and said that there was no old furniture, thinking that he might have to return empty-handed again, but he finally met a big family surnamed Zhang, and his son was ready to marry and make some furniture from the new, so many of the old furniture before had nowhere to put it, and it was a housekeeper surnamed Zhang who came to receive their father and son and led them into the house, the house of the Zhang family was very large, carved beams and paintings, the master of the Zhang family did not come out, everything was said by the housekeeper.

Steward Zhang led them to the east wing room under the back porch, where there were a large pile of old furniture, including ebony, rosewood, tables, chairs, benches, footrests, screens, everything.

After listening to his daughter's words, Tang Tiezhu took his three sons to start preparing a few days ago, among these people, Tang Liang was the most serious, and he specially went to a few furniture shops in the town to see the market, so he took a rough look at the things in this room and estimated the price.

Tang Liang told him quietly to tell his father to pick up those old furniture that looks new, the materials are not very good, and the style is outdated to buy, which is cheap and easy to get rid of.

Tang Tiezhu felt that what his son said was reasonable, so according to what he said, he picked out four square stools, three small dining tables of one square size, and more than a dozen ceramic dishes of different sizes and colors, and the estimated price was more than half a tael of silver, Steward Zhang was an old slave of the elderly, looking kind and approachable, he didn't seem to have any objection to the price given by Tang Liang, but he just stretched out his hand and pointed to the pile of cloth on a bed and said: "These cloths are good, but the colors are old, do you want them?" My wife has nowhere to get out, and the girls are not short of clothes, if you want, you can give them cheaply."

Tang Yang didn't understand this, looking at her father and brothers, several of them looked hesitant, and then he thought about it, walked up and opened the cloth to see the color and quality, now the popular thing on the street is silk silk, these cloth heads are some cotton fabrics that have been placed for a long time, I know that these cloth heads are old things five or six years ago, I don't know if they can still be used, I thought about it and pulled it hard, it was very strong.

Steward Zhang watched Tang Liang pull the fabric with his hands on the side, and explained: "Although it is a fabric from a few years ago, it is very durable because it is a fabric spun from the best cotton and linen."

Tang Liang looked like a businessman, picked up the abacus given to him by his brother-in-law and crackled, and after calculating, he said to Steward Zhang: "It's really old, and the colors are not very bright, we may buy it home and keep it for our own home,"

Steward Zhang said slowly: "Yes,"

Tang Liang said this deliberately, and when he saw that he agreed, he said: "With the furniture I picked just now and these two cotton cloths, I bid one or two pieces of silver."

Looking at the meaning of Steward Zhang, he also agreed with this price, Tang Liang was very happy, this was the first time he bargained with someone as a businessman, and happily took out a tael of silver from the money bag to pay Steward Zhang, and then moved the furniture and other things to the wooden cart with his father, and wrapped the dishes and dishes that he was afraid of touching tightly with straw, and then went out, Tang Tiezhu is an honest man, and he is very happy to see his son so capable, Tang Yangzhi is not here, and he came with his father to understand the state of life. And the youngest Feng Xiao looked at the second brother with admiration.

When the black curtain came, the ox cart of the Tang family was full of goods, Tang Tiezhu led the ox cart, and the three sons helped push the ox cart behind, and the cart was full of tables, chairs, benches and ceramic dishes.

When a few people pushed the ox cart to their home, Li and Tang Qing'er looked at the cart full of goods, and couldn't help but smile on their faces, Tang Qing'er said: "It's really good to receive so many things today,"

Tang Tiezhu worked hard with his sons to move things, so he told his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law about the matter, Li looked at the tables, chairs and ceramics in the courtyard and said: "Well, I think these things are better than our things in Tangjia Village, these rich people are really wasteful, where are there any big flaws, and they are not ready to continue to use them." “

Tang Qing'er glanced at the things she had purchased, and it was indeed as her mother said, so she said: "Mother, this is the so-called rich man's way of living, so we don't care about this?" We'll repaint them, fix them properly, and sell them when the town is in town. “

"What Qing'er said is that we only spent a tael of silver to buy these things, and if we sell them after we get them, we will only earn a lot more, which is the price that Liang'er reacted quickly and talked about." Tang Tiezhu said with a smile.

Tang Liang scratched his head and said, "Dad, do you think I have the potential to be a businessman?" “

"Well," Tang Tiezhu was still silent in excitement, not paying attention to what his son was talking about at all.
