Chapter 264: Grocery Store
It's not the first time to come to Quanzhou City, there is no initial apprehension and anxiety, the group spent two days, to the city gate, Li Dagui has been waiting for a long time, since getting the news that Li Yujin is coming, Li Dagui is restless, this exam is not only Li Yujin brothers, but also his own son.
His son is really angry with himself, he is following the Li family, so he has the opportunity for the children to go to school, but his son is really angry, even though he is only the shopkeeper, but he said that he has a child son, or will be a Xiucai son in the future, that is a face-saving thing.
"Liangzi, Yujin, you're here!" Li Dagui saw a few of them at a glance in the crowd with sharp eyes, and then went to greet them with the guys behind him!
"Uncle Gui! Father! The voices of several people rang out at the same time!
"Let's go, hurry home, your mother and your aunt have prepared food for you!" Li Dagui said to a few children!
"Thank you, Uncle Gui!" Li Yujin and Li Yuqian brothers carried things and followed Li Dagui to the city, this time to catch the exam, no one at home followed, only the long-term worker who rushed the car and the four boys who rushed to take the exam, Li Hui and they all stayed at home.
Mainly because she knows that there is the Lin family here, she will definitely take good care of the children, the Li family is more assured, and there is no need to let Li Hui always run along, she is getting older and older, and she can't be as guarded at all like before!
This is the first time Li Yujin has come to the grocery store in Quanzhou City, and he saw a very large shop, with two floors, standing in the middle of the street. There is a large plaque on the door, the Li family's grocery store, although the name is nothing special. But its business model is very different from others.
Standing at the door, you can see the lively scene of people coming and going, and everyone who comes out of it has no empty hands in their hands, and they talk from time to time!
"I've never seen anything like this, I can't negotiate the price!" A woman came out with something and said to those who were with her. It turned out that the Li family used a similar method to modern times, with a price tag on each item. You can see the price very clearly!
"yes, but don't say it, although you can't bargain. But it's really not expensive! The other woman was visibly satisfied.
What she said is very reasonable, the things in the Li family's shop are all real prices, much cheaper than the ones outside, after choosing the things. Check out right at the door. In this way, there is no need for so many guys, except for the ones who collect the accounts, and there is such a large space left, and there are two or three people who are responsible for sorting out!
"You can buy anything you want, and you don't have to look anywhere else in the future!" This is the main reason why everyone comes here, buy everything quickly, don't delay things, usually buy vegetables or something to run a big circle in the vegetable market. This will not be needed!
"Yujin has seen it, business is good. Anxi and Hui'er's methods really worked! "It turned out that there was no one at the beginning, Li Hui said the modern marketing strategy, the opening of the business, the 20% discount or something, but Li Anxi and Li Dagui tinkered for a few days, and really received unexpected results!
"Thanks to Uncle, I'm here all day long, otherwise Uncle wouldn't be so relieved to be busy with other things!" Although Li Yujin is not very involved in business, he also knows that this is the credit of Li Anxi and Li Dagui!
"What's the matter, I'm much more idle than before, I don't have to do anything every day, just reconcile the accounts and take care of a few of them!" Li Dagui is very satisfied, don't look at the fact that he can't go home all day, in fact, what he does now is effortless work, which is much easier than the guys in the brick kiln, and the salary is more than the original!
This year, Li Dagui went around, not only did he not lose weight, but he actually gained a lot of weight, and he also ate and drank well for entertainment, and the business needs were all settled by the Li family!
Li Dagui is now obviously starting to have a boss's belly, and he took a few people in, a store of about 200 square meters. It is full of all kinds of goods, although it is not crowded, but the people inside are not good, a few guys are responsible for shopping guides, reminding everyone to pay attention not to mess things up!
Seeing Li Dagui leading a few children in, they greeted one after another: "Shopkeeper Li, busy, who are these people?" ”
"It's the owner's child, this is my son, I'm here to catch the exam, and I'm going to take the Xiucai exam!" Li Dagui said proudly, he was more happy than selling a few taels of silver!
"Congratulations, congratulations, what a hero is a young man, he doesn't look big, and he is about to take the Xiucai exam!" The people who buy things are all regular customers, and they are very familiar with Li Dagui, and they look at Li Dagui with envy!
Look at these children, they are full of energy, they are not shy when discussing them, they look at the customers in the store gently, they are very sensible at a glance, and look at their age, they are fourteen or fifteen years old.
"Where, where, the children are still young, without praise, it's just a coincidence!" Li Dagui was modest in his mouth, but he was actually very happy in his heart.
"Don't be modest, if you pass the exam, you must inform us, let's say hello!" The big guys like Li Dagui's personality, doing business and living, if you buy a lot of things, you will directly wipe the change, or will give everyone some small gifts, no matter how much the value of the things is, it always makes people feel comfortable!
"No problem, I won't talk to you here, a few children have been on the road for a few days, just came from their hometown, I'll take them to rest for a while!" Li Dagui looked at a few children, tired all the way, and didn't want to talk too much with everyone!
"Go, go, let's pick and choose!" Everyone looked at a few people with a smile, and they were very understanding and considerate!
When he was about to walk to the back, Li Yujin suddenly said: "Uncle Gui, those guests just now looked very good, let's give them a cheaper!" "Even if you don't know how to do business, you have listened to Li Anxi and Li Hui discuss a lot at home, and you know a little, and giving profits from time to time will make you get greater profits!
Li Dagui understands it, anyway, the Li family gets along very well, and to hand over the store to himself is to believe in himself, and some activities and the like are also within the scope of his rights!
After that, Li Dagui came back to his senses and said to a few customers outside: "Good news." Our little proprietor said that he came from the shop for the first time in a few days, in order to thank the big guy for taking care of him. Today's things are all 20% off, if you want to buy it, buy it quickly, after this village, there will be no such store! ”
Li Dagui's announcement of the decision made these guests very happy, the Li family occasionally held activities, but not every time they could meet it, as soon as they heard the news, they were hesitant to buy this. Or the guests who are very hesitant in front of the two things will immediately put the things in their baskets!
Regardless of the hot scene outside, as well as word of mouth. It attracted a large number of guests. At this time, the backyard is warm!
"Why are you here?" Lin had already prepared the meal, dried the quilts in the house several times, and had already heard the sound outside. But no one came in. She had to run and deal with it herself.
"Didn't you talk to everyone outside? Let the guests also know the real owner! Li Dagui has respect and gratitude for the Li family, but the Li family does not treat them as subordinates, especially good buddies who grew up together.
For Li Dagui, he followed the Li family early in the morning, from the most difficult time to the current success, it can be said that they have made great contributions. So on weekdays, he and Li Anfu still match their names, and Li Yujin and their generation are still elders in their eyes. There's no such thing as inferiority.
"Uncle Gui, aunt, don't be so polite, just call me by my name!" In a word, Li Yujin blushed, this is an elder who has watched him grow up since he was a child, and he can't and won't put on a show.
"Okay, okay, don't be poor, let the children wash up and rest for a while!" Lin looked at Li Dagui helplessly, she was really teasing the children here, she couldn't be too clear about the personalities of the children of the Li family!
A very small courtyard, but there are four or five rooms, usually Li Dagui and the Lin family live in one, a few guys live in one, and the account room lives alone, which will be exactly two rooms left.
Originally, Li Dagui said that he wanted to make room for them, but Li Yujin hurriedly said no, anyway, the room is not small, it would be good for two people to live in one room, and the rest of the coachmen would temporarily live in one room with the account room because they wanted to pull Li Yujin and a few of them back at that time. The room was just enough!
Eat and drink well, several people will sleep in the room, this time it is not as leisurely as last time, a few people go straight to the destination, just to be in a hurry, and the rest can be well reviewed.
Thanks to Li Dagui's explanation, in the past few days, the movement of the guys coming to the backyard has been much smaller, and they always have to laugh on weekdays, knowing that several owners have to conduct scientific examinations, they are very envious!
To be honest, seeing other people studying, they are all teenagers, how can I not want to, it's not that the family conditions are not good, I was sent out as an apprentice early, I can support myself and reduce the burden on the family, fortunately, I have a good job with this person, and there will be bonuses every month when the business is good, and I don't have to spend any money here, I don't have to eat and live, there is no additional expenses!
It's good that you can take home your monthly salary to support your family!
Dongfang Night is actually in Quanzhou City, living in Li's house for more than a month, he doesn't have to think about anything, this more than one month, is the happiest time in so many years, no need to deal with official business, no need to think about those bad things, no need to calculate all day long, from time to time there are delicious things made by Li Hui!
One of the biggest gains is that he is a lot closer to Li Hui, unlike before, although Li Hui also respects him, he always feels that there is a layer in between!
Li Hui has regarded him as a caring big brother, especially Dongfang Ye often tutors Li Yujin in his homework, and he is very serious, so that Li Hui realizes that in fact, he is not cold-faced and cold-hearted, he has a good heart, but he is not good at expressing himself, so that it is difficult to see whether he is happy or angry.
Dongfang Ye set off a few days earlier than Li Yujin, and now he is in the Zhizhou Mansion, Ma Jianlin treats him as his own grandfather, when does this Lord of Yama often come to his place, in fact, he doesn't want him to come, okay? Although he has performed well all his life, he has leaked himself under the nose of this person, and if he is not careful, so many years of hard work will be in vain, which can be described as a companion like a tiger!
And the slightest reluctance can't be leaked out, fortunately, this master is here today, and he usually doesn't live in the official mansion, otherwise his life will be even more sad!
"Alright, you don't have to be nervous!" Who knew that Dongfang Ye's original comforting words made him even more scared, his liver trembled, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated!
"I'm just passing by here and taking a look!"
"Don't dare, don't dare, what does the prince command, the lower officials must go to the soup and fight the fire, and they will not give up!" Ma Jianlin knelt down to promise to show loyalty!
"It's not necessary to go to the soup and fire, I have a friend here, you can usually take care of them, just don't let those ruffians make trouble!" Oriental night is here!
In fact, there is no need for him to say, Ma Jianlin also understands that a small grocery store, no matter how novel it is, is not worth a trip to the prince himself, Dongfang Ye did not say it at that time, but Ma Jianlin happened to be in the crowd, and saw Dongfang Ye and the owner of the Li family's grocery store go in together, and the two kept talking, so he regarded the Li family's grocery store as a key protection object!
Today, Dongfang Ye deliberately came to explain again, so that he couldn't help but wonder, what is the relationship between Dongfang Ye and the Li family? It seems that I must be careful in the future, and I must be good at the Li family, I have to say, Ma Jianlin is the truth!
After the explanation, Dongfang Ye did not stay long, and left two guards, then he returned to Beijing with confidence, and left for more than a month, Dongfang Luo had already sent several letters urging him to return to Beijing, and he really couldn't withstand the pressure, so Dongfang Ye was reluctant to leave.
In terms of Li Yujin's level, there is no problem in his opinion, but if you want to take the exam, it is estimated that it will be difficult, they are just smarter than ordinary people, and they are willing to work hard, and they are not real geniuses!
So before leaving, explain a few to Li Yujin, after this show is over, don't continue to take the exam, study hard at home for another three years, and participate in the next township exam!
After all, even if you pass the exam, it must be a rubbing, it is better to pass it directly after three years, and then take the exam all the way, directly participate in the examination, and strive to be able to win the three yuan!
The Li family naturally adopted his opinion, after all, even if he was a person in the exam, the future of being an official or something was not very good, anyway, he was still young, and he could still struggle for a few more years, at least he had worked hard!
The days passed like this, Li Yujin studied step by step, and in the last two days, he no longer only focused on studying, but went out for a walk, took a walk, and looked at the flowers and willows outside.
July 18, it is the hottest time, the sun hangs high above, the scorching barbecue earth, even if sweating like rain, a group of candidates still gritted their teeth, high morale, swore into the examination room, the four teenagers of Lijia Village are naturally among them (to be continued). )
