The old lady's face was tired, and she nodded with her eyes closed, as if she agreed with the third master's statement.

Think back to the Shen family's shops. Since Old Lady Shen went west, she has been relying on her alone. Although she is a woman, she has worked hard and endured all the hardships, and she can be regarded as a prosperous business.

Later, seeing that she was getting older and her children and grandchildren were growing up, she couldn't do many things.

But if you want to say that you will hand over the business to your sons, the big house is weak, the second room is honest, and the third room is not right.

Who can compare to her back then?

I thought that the second room was honest, even if it was kept, it should always be kept. But if it is peaceful today, Jing'an City is second only to the northern capital, and it has become more and more prosperous in the past two years.

The old lady let out a breath of turbidity.

A few years ago, there were about four rice shops in Jing'an City?

And now?

How can you blame the second child for not being able to keep it! There are about a dozen storefronts in the southeast, northwest, and northwest directions. And that's not even counting those who come up from the countryside with their burdens.

The world is good, this is a good thing. Our Shen family also started with burdens in the past, and we can't help but let our family do business. But isn't there a wider road for the Shen family to walk? Looking at the noisy and unproductive children and grandchildren in front of him, and then think about the old lady's high-spirited smiling face back then.

The old lady's nose was sour: "You go down and rest first, the matter of the shop for the third room...... I'll think again. ”

Hearing this, the third master's eyes flashed, and he slapped his thigh: "Oops! Mother, if you are willing to think about it again, it will be done! ”

The third old man shook his legs happily! In the past two years, with how he has been soft and hard, all kinds of filial piety and filial piety, the old lady just likes the second room and is honest and refuses to let go. It can be seen that this fool of the Seven Girls has broken his heart!

Seeing that the old lady had already gotten up, she was helped by the maid to go into the inner room to rest. The seventh master laughed lightly, bent over and approached Shen Youfu and said, "I said that the seventh niece, when your father comes back, the third uncle has to help you intercede with him." Otherwise, if he is idle at home in the future, he will have to complain about you talking nonsense? ”

Shen Youfu was a little worried about her third uncle......

The most fearful thing about being a human being is not having a correct self-understanding......

"Grandmother, where are you going? I'm not done yet! "Shen Youfu doesn't want to kneel here! She didn't have time to take care of the third master, so she got up from the ground and chased the old lady with a coquettish tone.

The third master didn't complain about Shen Youfu not giving him face this time, anyway, in his opinion, now that the Shen family is about to fall into his hands, he will naturally have time to clean up this shameless hoof in the future.

"I said, fifth niece, I see that you are better than your sister's head, do you want to go to the third uncle's courtyard to play?" After the third master finished speaking, he said "hiss" towards the back room, ignoring Shen Youlan's angry eyes, humming a tune and leaving.

In the inner room of the old lady's main room, this is the first time Shen Youfu has come in.

I saw a water-colored red sandalwood carving, from the bed frame to the window lattice, it was a simple style that was old, and it was far from the glamorous and rich that the old lady had always loved. The light in the house was darker than the dark furniture. The old lady seemed to be a little unable to see things clearly, and squinted and looked back at Shen Youfu: "Why is there no rules like this!?" ”

The old lady didn't invite her, so she dared to run in by herself, and she Shen Youfu was still the number one!

Holding the old lady's two maids, the peach fan and the green plum, she gave Shen Youfu a look, which meant that the old lady would be in a bad mood, so Shen Youfu didn't hit the tip of the gun.

Shen Youfu smiled lightly. Come on! You are both good girls, write down your favors first, and wait for your sister to earn money to buy rouge for you.

Of course, Shen Youfu didn't leave, but took another step forward in the face of the old lady's dissatisfied gaze.

"Grandmother, granddaughter just said that the price will be adjusted, but it is not to adjust it cheaply!"

The old lady took advantage of the maid's hand to sit firmly on the Luohan bed first, and then took a cup of tea that the maid was waiting for. She gently buckled the lid of the tea cup with her fingernails, and after half of the salary, she was a little tasteless: "It's useless to raise prices." ”

The old lady was a little too lazy to analyze the reasons for this, doing business is not reading, and it is useless to teach it by hand.

Otherwise, how could her three sons have always been out of order?

Of course, you can earn more by raising prices, but there are so many rice shops in the city, who buys it is not to buy!

But how could she, Shen Youfu, not even understand this truth?

Shen Youfu saw that the old lady had no intention of driving her out, so she cautiously rubbed half a step forward, looked at the good lady flatteringly, and said, "Grandmother, what if the granddaughter said that the rice would be divided into three grades, and then the three prices would be adjusted?" ”

Shen Youfu has had many ideas since she went to the store, and "adjusting the price" is just the simplest and easiest "carving insect trick".

From the beginning to the end, there was only one thing that was sold in the shop - rice. Some people buy more, and then they pay a few bags of silver. Some people buy less, so they poke a bag, take it out in a wooden basin, weigh it and sell it - anyway, the whole city sells rice at the same price......

The peach fan and the green plum heard it in a fog, but the old lady's fingers holding the tea cup lid suddenly stopped!

The old lady almost didn't jump up, endured it, and finally only raised her eyelids, looked at Shen Youfu and said, "You make it clear." ”

Shen Youfu scratched her head a little, just such a thing, do you need to make it clearer? But the old lady is willing to listen, so she will say it.

"Back to my grandmother's words, what my granddaughter meant was that the rice would be divided into upper, middle and lower grades, and the price would naturally be set at upper, middle and lower grades. In this way, rich people are willing to buy expensive ones, and poor families are willing to buy cheap ones. ”

The teacup in the old lady's hand had been unconsciously handed to Qingmei.

With her years of experience, if you think about it, such a way to adjust the price is simply amazing!

"Aren't you afraid that other rice shops will buy all your cheap rice?" The old lady said tentatively.

"The granddaughter is not afraid, since it has been graded, everyone knows that the cheap rice of the Shen family is inferior rice. Even if they buy a pound from us, their business will only be done by waiting for rice in the future! ”

In the hall with the third master just now, the old lady also felt that it was not feasible to reduce the price, but let Shen Youfu say that the price reduction was clearly feasible.

With the grade being separated, whoever comes to the Shen family to buy cheap rice and then take it back and sell it at the original price will become shoddy! Shen Youfu is right, as long as a peer dares to come and buy cheap rice, no one will buy their rice anymore.

The old lady was a little excited, but continued to ask: "But the rice looks similar, how do you plan to divide the three grades?" ”

At the end of the day, that's the hardest step. The rice is all harvested from the countryside, and the price is the same, and it is all mixed together. Is it possible to hire labor in the store, and the screening of one grain by one cannot be achieved?

Thinking of this, the old lady was stern again-if Shen Youfu only used "dividing the second best" as a gimmick, but actually planned to deceive the guests, then she would never agree.

Although the old lady is treacherous, she also knows that being clever will not last long. This is also the reason why she was reluctant to hand over the shop to the third master.

The old lady suddenly became a little nervous. Xiao Qi can think of this, he is already a business wizard, but if he is not right like Sanfang...... In the final analysis, in fact, the old lady herself does not know how to distinguish the good from the bad.

The room was quiet for a moment, but then, Shen Youfu's delicate voice was heard.

"What's so hard about that?" Shen Youfu blinked her big beautiful eyes, "Let my father eat it door to door when he collects rice!" ”

It's wonderful!

The old lady really jumped up now! The two peach fans and Qingmei hurriedly stepped forward to help, they had never seen the old lady happy like this!

But the old lady doesn't need help now. She moved neatly, grabbed Shen Youfu's sleeve, and dragged her to sit beside her, with an extremely rare amount of love on her face: "I didn't expect you to know these things at such a young age!" Grandmother thinks this is a feasible plan! Say, if it does, what reward do you want? ”

Looking up at the peach fan and green plum who almost dropped her jaw, Shen Youfu was a little shy: "Grandmother should tell the fifth sister to get up first, she is probably still kneeling in the hall." ”

The old lady smiled and winked, and Qingmei immediately turned around and went outside to help Miss Five.

I only heard Shen Youfu continue: "My granddaughter really wants to ask for a reward, and my grandmother will give me one percent of the extra money earned in the shop, and I want to repay my father's debt to my third uncle......"

- Kind and filial, intelligent, and thinking about her father and sister - The old lady couldn't express her feelings at the moment, and had no choice but to pat her thigh like her bastard third son and say: "Grandmother promised you, the extra money you earned, give you thirty percent!" ”
