The rest of the sisters have finished the embroidery work on your hands in the past two days. Two days later, I will teach you how to make some fresh puppets to sell, so that you can save the dowry. The sisters blushed.

"After the dim sum shop, in addition to profits, labor, costs, profits fifty-fifty points, uncle, two uncles, we, four uncles, uncles each count a share, there is a brother Wen counts a share, there is a married brother in the future, a total of fifty percent, the remaining fifty percent to the public to continue to open a new store funds, the profit of toys is also fifty-five points, all the people who work are divided into fifty percent, the remaining fifty percent to the public, from tomorrow all the expenses of the family must be reported to me, at the end of the month who took the silver is not registered, make up for it, Who doesn't understand what to do tomorrow before going out and asks me, "As soon as her arrangement came out, everyone was convinced, and she also started her career as a leader through her own strength."

The next day, Peach Blossom's busy work began, and after breakfast, all the uncles and brothers, under her clear instructions, each received the silver they needed, and went their own way, in an orderly manner, and set off from the market was a large group of people who were also in place and ready to act.

"Will the flower girls eat together or separately in the future?" She didn't know how to answer Xu Wang's question, and Li reminded her, "In the past, each family used to divide ten catties of coarse grains and twenty catties of miscellaneous grains every month. If it's not enough, add it yourself, "It turns out that it's just how to order," eat together, I'll solve the food matter." In two days, we will build a house, dig the ground, and open a store will be very busy, and there will be insufficient manpower. Xu Wang looked at the peach blossom and still didn't say anything.

Because they don't have to get up early to occupy the stall, when they set off, the sun has come out, and of course a large group of people are walking, making an appointment with Niu Bo's car, so that they can pick them up at the south gate at noon, and they all have to buy goods.

Li and the fourth aunt picked two baskets each, it was pretending to be a little chicken, Peach Blossom quietly asked Li about Xu Wang's attitude, Li just said that Xu Wang's found someone to tell her a hexagram yesterday morning, what was the result, Li didn't know, Peach Blossom was startled after hearing it, it was obviously a good phenomenon, but she still felt cold on her back.

It took about half an hour to walk to the bazaar, and the place and time of the appointment to meet were separated, the uncle and the lobby brother did not go back at noon, they were not easy to find the storefront, and they had to find someone to see the house, and it was not a matter of a day or two, they and the peach blossom went to the East Street, the second sister and the fourth aunt went to the South Street with the basket, and the grandfather and the fourth uncle went to the livestock ** land, a place called the sheepfold.

The soldiers are divided into several roads, a single table, Peach Blossom Li and the aunt visited many cloth shops next to each other, and finally found one of the largest cloth shops, the size of five stores, called Xiuchun Building, she wanted the most complete cloth, she ordered a lot of floral cloth, as well as white, black, brown, pink, blue some solid colors, Peach Blossom wants some decoration needs a lot of small pieces of cloth, maybe the rag head can be cheaper, so let the work in the store to the shopkeeper to discuss,

The shopkeeper of Xiuchun Lou is surnamed You, in his forties, is a good talker, heard that Peach Blossom wanted to break the cloth head and immediately took them to a warehouse in the backyard for them to pick, the various rags full of two rooms blinded Peach Blossom's eyes, originally Peach Blossom also wanted to use cotton to fill her puppet, and now finally found a cheap replacement, and finally she decided to buy all the cloth heads, and the shopkeeper of Xideyou made sure that these were sent to Peach Blossom's house in person.

"Shopkeeper You, you see how we want to do more cloth, can you discuss something," "Well, I'll give you a seven-fold discount on these cloths," Shopkeeper You seems to be so good that he doesn't know that this is a discount. "You shopkeeper is good at talking, we want these cloths to make a new type of toy, is a child's favorite puppet, you have never seen it, I want to cooperate with you." "Cooperation, how to cooperate." "It is our toys that are sold in your store, we share the profits fifty-fifty, I provide the goods, and then give money after selling, this is a business-free business, and it can also drive the sales of cloth in your store." Shopkeeper You laughed after hearing this, "Little girl, you really know how to plan, you don't have to go out of the store, and the labor cost will be fifty percent." "You shopkeeper can't be counted like that, we also need to do it manually, not to mention that you will never find the same thing as a second one in the country, and this kind of creativity is also a cost."

"We are just a small branch here, and the head office is in the provincial capital, so I always have to ask the owner." Peach Blossom heard that there was a play, "Shopkeeper You, so it takes time for you to say hello, I will bring samples the day after tomorrow, and then decide after you see it, I believe that some gadgets in Shopkeeper You's store can still call the shots, and besides, you don't increase the cost and make a lot of money, maybe the owner will promote you to be the chief shopkeeper as soon as he is happy." "The chief shopkeeper is the greatest wish of the shopkeeper You, but unfortunately he was calculated by his opponent that there is no hope in this town. The little girl is right, she must be happy to be a good owner, and if she doesn't do it well, it won't account for the cost of the store. It's a big deal. "Okay, I'll wait for you the day after tomorrow."

Out of the door of the Xiuchun Building, the aunt said, "Flowers, our family is also looking for a store, why don't you sell it in our house, innocent and share so much money." "Auntie, our family is mainly pastries, which have a taste, and there are oil smokes, touch the snacks, and then touch the puppets, it must not be all oily, who wants it." Our store is not too big, and it will be too chaotic if there are too many things in the limited space, "In fact, the Li family also wants to sell in his own store and make a few more money.

Peach Blossom continued, "In fact, it is only sold in our town and not for a long time, we have too few rich people here, this kind of thing can be made by yourself, and it has to be sold to other places, you don't see that the guys and shopkeepers in their stores are all foreign accents, so this is just a branch, they have branches in the town, it can be seen that the work is still quite big, if it is done well here, other local owners will definitely be on our products." In this way, we will make money, and our family must keep coming out with new products, so that they can never imitate this when they just learn this and want new ones. "Let's see, you can bear it, I haven't seen a single hair yet, so I think about it in the future, I can make money first, and then talk about the rest." Although Li is scolding Peach Blossom, she is quite convinced of her daughter's negotiation skills and analysis, because she can't think of this, her daughter is really amazing.

A few women's shopping is much more terrible, they keep walking, buying all kinds of goods, and the two calves of the peach blossoms are about to be broken, so they hurried to the appointment place.

Grandfather's cow was bought, and a semi-new ox cart was attached, and finally went back without walking, several passers-by were a bumper harvest, and the fourth aunt and the peach branch also bought three hundred fluffy and cute chicks, especially the delivery car of Xiuchunlou actually asked for three carts, although it was a worthless rag head, but it was also very spectacular. A group of people returned to the village in a mighty way, attracting many people's sideways glances along the way, and entering the village caused a sensation. The door was crowded with onlookers.

The first thing to do when I got home was to use the newly bought brush to record today's expenses in a self-made book, and the last summary was shocked, and it actually cost more than seventy taels of silver, and the money could not help but be spent.

After lunch, I asked Li's concubine to clean the cloth head a few times and remove the floating color, and Peach Blossom took a few sisters Peach Buds, Mei Xiang, Mei Ying and a younger sister Lianhong began to try to cut the skin of various puppets, naturally there was no Mei Duo, because she said that she was very busy and had no time to do it, and Peach Blossom was not reluctant, thinking that soon you would beg me to join.

The female red of the sisters is really good, the peach blossom is just a painting, they discuss it, they can compare the drawings and cut out, and then sew them up, pick up some suitable eyes with rag heads, nose, mouth, and then decorate the bow tie, clothes, small shoes, and dry cloth on the filling, it is exactly the same as the peach blossom requires, one afternoon they made pandas, hugging bears, giraffes, white rabbits, little girls in clothes, and cute lazy sheep sheep, all of which are lovely, and each one of them causes a burst of exclamations. In the end, the Li family and the Xu Wang family all joined in, and several onlookers were also itching, and Peach Blossom emphasized that this was a sample that could not be moved, and in the end, only Lian Qing and the little niece Xiuyun, two girls who could cry, got one. Promised one per person tomorrow, and several older children were still reluctant to leave.

Peach blossom saw that each did two or three, the speed of a dozen or so people is still very fast, tomorrow should be faster, peach blossom has to arrange it "I saw it this afternoon, we still like it so much, not to mention those children, so we must be popular, we have to speed up tomorrow, we can't all do this, tomorrow the man's life will not change what to do, Mei Ying sister cutting fast, you are in charge of cutting, sister-in-law and eldest sister, Mei Xiang sister is mainly sewing and splicing, lotus red and peach leaves are the smallest responsible for filling, The eldest aunt, you are mainly responsible for watching the children cook, the mother and the second aunt are responsible for washing the rags, the fourth aunt and the second sister are responsible for feeding the chickens and pigs, whoever finishes their own will come over to help, you don't need to divide the labor to see where you need to help, grandma, you and the aunt will watch the children together, and when the puppet earns money, buy you a few pairs of shoes first, don't accept the soles of the shoes, you can't see it. ”
