Chapter 46: A New Direction
Before I knew it, three years had passed, and many good and bad things had happened in these three years, but overall it was not a good thing.
The first is that Zhao He is now finally able to express it simply, and can say some words such as hungry, cold, sleepy, etc., although it has not completely improved, but it is already very fortunate for Min'er and Ling'er.
The second is the shop, they sold a façade the same size as the coffin shop on East Street for only thirty taels, and there is a small courtyard behind it that can be lived. Speaking of which, it's really very interesting, they planned to rent a shop, but they haven't found a suitable one. Later, Ling'er took a fancy to the location of this façade, which was the third one from the small square in the center as soon as it entered the East Street, and it could be seen from the small square. And such a good location is said to be worth two or three hundred taels, and the one hundred taels is always worth it, but no one has come to rent this storefront, let alone sell it. The reason is that this house is a murderous house, which used to be a cloth village, and the old couple died in their sleep at night, and the next day the neighbors found out when they didn't open the door. After their son buried the two, he wanted to sell the store and continue to go back to the county to study and test for fame in the future, but the result was that no one sold it, and he couldn't rent it. This empty space is two years, and it happened to be taken by Ling'er, and everyone advised them to think twice. But Ling'er didn't believe that, she thought that the old man must be soot poisoning, although there was coal in this era, but it was possible to burn incomplete firewood and produce carbon monoxide.
In the end, Min'er immediately discussed that he used thirty taels to put the shop down, and spent another ten taels of silver to repaint and decorate it according to Ling'er's idea. Speaking of shops, I have to talk about Wang Dali, Min'er thinks that Wang Dali is a person, and he wants to hire him as a partner because of his poor background, but who knows that his uncle and aunt are so unscrupulous that the two signed a death contract with Min'er at a high price of thirty taels. Now these two people are working as buddies in the shop, Qian is the shopkeeper, and Wang Jizong is the account office and is also responsible for purchasing mountain goods.
The name of their shop: Mountain People. Ling'er divided the entire façade into three independent stores, and on the left were fur products, including some coats, hats, hand warmers, knee pads, ear bags, etc., all of which were mostly ordinary furs, and only a few mink products. In the middle is specialized in mountain goods, including pine nuts, hazelnuts, pecans, persimmons, vitex, fungus, mushrooms, etc. On the right is Ula straw products, the most important of which are Ula straw paper and Ula leather boots with very good warmth, and other straw products are filled with goods and styles that are not usually sold very well.
When they first opened the store, they didn't have any business, which made Min'er very anxious. Later, Ling'er found someone who could play Allegro, and Ling'er made up his own lyrics and asked him to walk on South Street, North Street, and West Street. I remember that I always heard a high-pitched male voice on the streets of Birch Town at that time:
"Ula grass, it's amazing, it's a treasure in the mountains. Wearing it in winter to race cotton, I was so scared that I couldn't get frostbite. Wearing it in summer doesn't hurt your feet, and your stinky feet are tasteless. If you don't believe it, give it a try, and people in the mountains will find it. Where are the people in the mountains? There is a sign in the East Street. ”
The children thought it was fun, so they sang along with the nursery rhymes. Slowly, almost everyone in the whole town will say that this is called the shop of the mountain people and everyone knows and goes to see it intentionally or unintentionally, and it has been almost three months since it opened before it slowly opened to sell.
Zhao and Li Dabai finally turned against each other after the battle, and now Min'er gives Zhao a tael of silver every month for pension money, and the old couple just wanders around every day. Especially how good Zhao's life is when he sees Tian'er's appearance, and how Li is shaved her every day. Since they separated, the Li family has not given the Zhao family a penny, the Zhao family is to see Tian'er and run to find the Li family's stubble, Min'er saw this and raised the pension money to one or two and hinted. The two sons must have the same filial piety, if the second uncle's family can't do anything, then she won't come out. The Zhao family never came to Min'er because of this, and it was Ling'er who sent the money every month, but the Li family was completely different. This Zhao family went to ask for money if he had something to do, and this time the Li family tasted the taste of the Wang family back then.
If you want to say that the biggest change is Ling'er, don't look at her only seven years old, but her head is not short, less than Min'er. This made Min'er very suspicious that there was something wrong with this sister? Later, it was Dr. Wang who gave the proof, and she was normal before it was counted. Now everyone in the village knows that this workshop belongs to their sisters, and they also know that she started her home because of frog oil. But now the price of frog oil is not high, not to mention, the amount collected by the hospital is not much, so there is no situation that Ling'er is beginning to worry.
In the past few years, Min'er has been mainly responsible for the things in the workshop and the shop, and Ling'er has been studying the pine papermaking with the village chief, and finally succeeded this year. The village chief meant to build a paper workshop, but Ling'er insisted on the previous idea of selling the technology, and the two were competing in the past two days.
"Ling'er, do you have time to come to the workshop today?" Aunt Zhang is now the stock leader of raw material stocks.
"When it's over there, come over and see, you're busy with me, I don't have anything to do." Ling'er said hello.
"Okay, your sister is in the tent, you can go there and find her." After Aunt Zhang finished speaking, she continued to count with the people below.
Ling'er walked slowly to the tent, and before she entered the door, she heard Min'er's voice:
"Okay, I see, you guys go and get busy, and tomorrow we will notify the various units that there is a meeting."
"Okay, then we're out." It was Zhang Qiang who spoke, and then several mermaids rushed out, and saw Ling'er shouting:
"Spirit Maiden"
"Hello" Ling'er greeted politely and entered the tent.
"Sister, your face is not good, what's wrong?" In the past three years, she has been studying grass products and pine paper making with the village chief, so she has not asked about the mountain goods shops and workshops here.
"Now in our workshop, all kinds of mountain goods are almost full, but the shop has always been like that, if it continues like this, these goods can be sold for three years." Min'er has a headache, you must know that these things are all over the mountain, who will spend that money on ordinary people, only those who have money will sell some, how can such a sales volume work? Their shop also buys mountain goods, and there are many more people who come to sell than to buy.
"And what are you going to do?" Ling'er asked.
"It's still going to be done, of course, it's to stop the acquisition, and then I'm going to go to the county and open a shop over there. It's just that the money is a little tight now. "Min'er has a headache.
"Sister, I have an idea, I don't know if I should say it?" Ling'er didn't realize this problem before, but she just thought that it was very prosperous in the modern mother's mountain specialty point, thinking that she could make a lot of money when she got here. The imagination is plump, but the reality is skinny, and now this shop is tepid, let's make money, right? It's not a lot, but if you don't make it, you can make money on the cost of personnel. Now it seems that it is not possible to sell mountain goods like this, she has to finish it.
"If you have something to say, don't deal with me with the same way you did against the village chief." Min'er said angrily.
"Sister, this mountain goods still have to be collected, the more the better, we can't just dry it and sell it in the shop, we have to process it deeply." Originally, Ling'er also planned to do this, but in the past three years, the village chief has taken a look at her, and she has to force her to make pine paper. In the middle, the workshops in the village have returned the ghost matter, and several villages outside have also begun to build workshops. There was no way, she put all her energy over there again, made a lot of new products, and raised the grade of grass products. Nowadays, many large families have begun to go to the mountains to buy all kinds of practical and artistic grass products, and the shop has successfully transformed into a franchise of high-end goods. Only then did he get out of the competition, and he saved the workshop because of it, but unfortunately he didn't find out the inner ghost.
"Deep processing? What is the first processing method? Min'er came to her senses all of a sudden, and Ling'er told all the thoughts in her heart, only to hear Min'er's heart fluttering. In fact, in recent years, there have been many poor families who have improved their shop or workshop life, so she does not want to stop buying in her heart, which will cut off the livelihood of some people. Now there are many landless families who rely on mining mountains to survive, and if she stops, then those mountain goods will be worthless.
"Or do you have a lot of ideas, if you put your heart on the shop in the past few years, can there still be such a situation?" Min'er got angry when she talked about this, that village chief was really a cunning old fox.
"Sister, let's do this, I've planned it a long time ago. It's just the right time, if it's too early. What do you think, first, our shop is not famous, and second, the variety of this mountain goods is not complete. Now it's just right, the fame is some, the variety is complete, and the raw materials are sufficient, so that you can go to deep processing, right? Of course Ling'er didn't dare to tell the truth, if she said that she forgot it for a while, then she wouldn't want to see the sun tomorrow.
"You, Chadi has said it, you say, now Chacha?" Min'er took out a pen and paper and planned to write down the steps, just in time for the meeting tomorrow to explain to everyone.
"Don't worry, now you have to find a quasi-brewery. Otherwise, everything else is empty, and this honey will take time for us to harvest it? It's just June, and it's about a month to prepare, and it's ready to sell at the end of October. "Actually, Ling'er forgot before, if these were already found, why do you need to prepare them now.
"That's okay, you can come to the meeting tomorrow, and you should also pay attention to the affairs of this shop and workshop, don't that useless heart every day." Min'er didn't put on that smiling expression only in front of Ling'er, and over the years she had now fully grown into a senior smiling tiger.
"Obey, ah......" Ling'er was funny, and the result was a shock to Min'er.
