The next day, Ling'er's family continued to work and spent another morning finally cleaning up the yard of the shop. In fact, there is really nothing in this shop, the original shelves and the shopkeeper's table have all been smashed, the slightly better furniture, tables and chairs in the backyard have also been moved, and the rest are missing arms and legs or old.

Daddy picked up what he could use and hammered it east and west, and was busy for most of the day, only making a few square stools that were not very strong! The old lady frowned and looked at the pile of waste on the ground and said, "Alas, it's a pity, why do you want to smash good things?" It's really ......."

"Mother, there aren't as many things here as ours, why don't we go and ask a carpenter to come back and make some more?" By the way, I also bought some new ones at home, okay? ”

The old lady immediately objected: "No, no, I just spent more than 20 taels of silver to buy this shop, and if we continue to spend it like this, we won't make a penny, and we will have to lose all that little money!" ”

"Mother, there's nothing here, and there's no way to live there, so you have to buy something, right? For example, beds, tables, chairs, pots and pans, ......"

"Okay, okay, all these things are at home, just move from home!"

"What if they all moved to the house? Mother, why don't we just move to the town and sell the yard in Wangjia Village! ”

"Nonsense, you girl is unreliable to speak, no matter what happens here, Wangjia Village is our root, according to other people's words, it is the ancestral house, even if you make money in the future and live a better life, you have to repair the courtyard of Wangjia Village well, and leave a memory for your children and grandchildren, do you hear, Ling'er?"

Ling'er secretly stuck out her tongue, thinking to herself that the dilapidated house, if it hadn't been rebuilt last year, I don't know what it would have collapsed into? Mother, really, why is it so old! However, she was inevitably nagged by the old lady, so she still smiled dryly and perfunctory.

After the backyard was tidied up, Ling'er's family opened the shop door and began to tidy up the shop. Passers-by saw that this shop had been closed for a long time, and suddenly opened the door today, and they couldn't help but stop and watch at the door curiously, and some good people would shout: "Hey, uncle, aunt, has this shop changed owners?" ”

The old father and mother glanced back, and saw that they didn't care much about people they didn't know, Ling'er smiled and bowed to the other party: "Yes, uncle, this is the shop that our family just bought, please take care of it in the future!" ”

Passers-by see that Ling'er is well-behaved and likable, and they will generally stop and chat a few more words, such as how old are you? What's your name? What business does this shop plan to do in the future?

At this time, Ling'er would answer without hesitation: "Do rice and grain business!" Uncle, if there is any surplus grain in your family or relatives and neighbors, you can sell it to us, we will buy it at the market price, medium millet costs three cents a liter, as long as the thing is good enough, the price can be increased! ”

Passers-by were surprised every time they heard the news, and said suspiciously: "Girl, a liter of three cents?" Is it really millet? Not hulled rice? ”

Ling'er nodded affirmatively: "Yes, yes, it's millet, we will harvest the millet, and we won't collect the husked rice for the time being!" ”

"Seriously! Did you do it to the Lord? ”

"Seriously! If your uncle doesn't believe it, you might as well send some food after tomorrow, and we will weigh the money on the spot, and you will get what you pay for, and you will never lose half a penny! ”

Passers-by were overjoyed, slapped their hands and said, "Okay, that's it!" I'm sure I'll be here early tomorrow morning! ”

Ling'er saw that the man rubbed his hands and rushed away, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, yes, this is a good idea. So she simply took a rag and swayed at the door of the shop, and when she saw someone coming, she repeated Fang Cai's words, and most of the listeners were first surprised, then puzzled, and then left happily!

Daddy and Lady have been counting the things in the shop, and after a while, they found that there was a problem with Ling'er's statement, and the old lady quickly pulled her to the backyard and said with a slight reproach: "Ling'er, our shop hasn't opened yet, why did you promise indiscriminately?" ”

"Mother, I didn't make random promises! I wanted to buy this shop just to buy food! ”

"Harvesting grain? What do you collect food for? There is a rice shop in the town, why don't you buy it if you don't have it?

Also, even if you want to buy grain, you don't have to give such a high price, so isn't the white rice only three or four cents a liter? If you rush to the market, maybe the little money left by the buyer in the end will be gone, how can you get three wen and a liter of grain? You girl, don't boast about Haikou, let's just have a little silver, don't really lose nothing! ”

Ling'er covered her mouth and snickered: "Mother, it turns out that you are so good at settling accounts?" Then tell me, how can we harvest the millet at the right price? ”

"This ......" the old lady thought for a while: "Oh, by the way, listen to Hu Ziniang, as soon as the autumn harvest passed last year, some people went into the village to harvest grain, and at that time, the medium millet was only two pennies and a pound, and some of the poor, empty shells and rice grains were not full of one penny and one catty were sold!"

Now...... Seeing that the autumn harvest is coming soon, some people are not green, and the rice grain may be more expensive, but if the medium grain, I think it will be at most two Wen and five heavens! ”

Ling'er smiled and said, "Mother, if it's two or five, then it's not the same as in the bazaar?" Why don't people sell it in the market, why do they sell it in our shop? ”

"That's different, there are so many people buying and selling in the market, how can they all be sold out, and besides, the day of the market is only once in ten days, and some people who are in a hurry to use the money can't wait so long, don't they have to sell it to the shop? Those rice grain shops that do business are the most likely to fall into the ground, and those who deliver them to their own doors may not be worth two pennies and one liter! ”

Ling'er saw that the old lady was right, and she was very happy. I originally thought that the old lady was pedantic and conservative, but now it seems that she also has a shrewd side, so it shouldn't be a big problem for her to look at the shop in the future!

Seeing that Ling'er was silent, the old lady pulled her and said, "Ling'er, do you really want to use this shop to do rice and grain business?" ”

Ling'er nodded: "Yes, the words have been released, and you must not break your word!" Mother, anyway, the yard is almost clear, I'll go find someone to make a plaque and name our shop, what do you say it's called? ”

"Called... It's called ...... Alas, I won't choose a name, ask your father to go! ”

"Okay, mother, I'm going!" Ling'er rushed to the front shop, the old lady stood in place, frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly remembered something, and immediately pulled out her legs and chased out: "Ling'er, Ling'er!" ”

When she chased to the shop in front, she saw that her father was busy working alone but she didn't see Ling'er's shadow, and the old lady said, "His father, Ling'er?" ”

"She's got someone to make a plaque!"

"Huh? Already gone? His father, did Ling'er say that she wanted to use this shop to buy and sell rice grain? ”

The old man didn't raise his head and said: "I said, I also said that this shop is called Yang's grain shop!" ”

"Huh? You really want to buy and sell grain! Dad, why don't you hold her? Alas, this girl will cause trouble! The old lady was anxious to chase after her, and the father said: "Mother, leave her alone, let her go!" ”

"How's that going to work? His father, it's not that you don't know that the rice grain shop can't be opened if you want to, you have to have the approval of the government, otherwise you will buy and sell black grain, and you will go to jail if you find out! ”

Dad paused, stood up straight, frowned and thought for a while: "It's not that serious, right?" Of the five or six rice grain shops in our town, I heard that only one of them has been approved by the government, and the others are not all running well? ”

"Well, how is that the same? The owners of those rice grain shops all have a lot of backgrounds, how dare we compare with others? No, I've got to get that girl back! The old lady said and went out in a hurry.

She had not been far from the shop when she was stopped by a woman: "Hey, auntie, auntie, slow down!" ”

The old lady looked around, and saw that she was a woman in her thirties at the door diagonally opposite the door of her shop, the woman was not very good-looking, her figure was not bad, the clothes on her body were novel and strange, and the generosity was a little bold, which made people can't help but shine, of course, in order not to lose your appetite, it is best that your eyes have been glued to the clothes.

The old lady didn't know the woman, and she wanted to continue walking, but the woman came over with a smile: "Auntie, don't go!" ”

The old lady stopped and pointed to herself, looked at the woman inquiringly, the woman came over a few steps, took her arm familiarly and said, "Hehe, auntie, it's just to call you!" ”

"You ......"

"Oh, this ready-to-wear shop is my family! Auntie, this grocery store belongs to yours, right? ”

The old lady nodded, and the woman waved her handkerchief and laughed: "Oh, I'll just say, the eldest lady is a rich and noble person at first glance, and now she is going to move to us as a neighbor, this is our blessing!" Auntie, you see, we should move around more door to door, and take care of each other in the future, right? ”

The old lady hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, we just moved here, and we know few people, so I will ask my eldest niece to take care of me in the future!" ”

The woman pinched her handkerchief and grinned: "Look at what the lady said, we should take care of each other!" By the way, auntie, my father-in-law's surname is Kang, and everyone calls me Kang's sister-in-law, you are an elder, you can call it whatever you want! ”

The old lady nodded with a smile: "That... Then I'll call you Kang Da niece... Luckily? ”

"Okay, it couldn't be better, so I don't have an extra aunt, do I? Auntie, what is your surname? ”

"Huh? …… It's not expensive, it's not expensive, I... My old man's surname is Yang! ”

"Hehe, Aunt Yang! I see that your family was busy yesterday, why don't you see your children coming to help? ”

"This ......" The old lady was a little embarrassed and stammered: "I... We have a daughter, just... I'm only seven years old, and I'm just ......, oh, by the way, I still have something to do, eldest niece, let's talk about it when I have time! Only then did the old lady remember that her mission was to find Ling'er, and when she talked to the woman, Ling'er didn't know where she went!

The woman said, "Aunt Yang, what's the matter, so anxious?" Why don't you tell me about it? ”

"Alas, that stupid girl in our family said that she would open the shop into a rice grain shop, and she would harvest grain at the price of three cents from tomorrow! Alas, where did this dead girl go? ”

"Sanwen!" The woman exclaimed, paused for a moment and said, "Oh, aunt, the rice and grain shop is not so easy to open, have you gone to the government to file it?" ”

"It's just that I'm not in a hurry, this girl is really not worry-free, alas!"

The woman's eyes rolled, pulled the old lady aside, and whispered: "Auntie, in fact, it's good to open a rice and grain shop, and it's easy to file for the record!" ”

"Easy?"

"Yes, it's naturally easy to find the right person, I have a way here!" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
