Chapter 11 Buying a New House
"Aunt Sugar!" Xiao Zhengtai was very impressed by this aunt who didn't see her a few times a year, but as long as she came back, she would bring gifts to herself, and immediately called people sweetly when she saw it.
"Good!" Bai Tang pinched Xiao Zhengtai's smooth face, went back to his room and took a two-foot-tall Transformers model and handed it to Xiao Zhengtai.
Xiao Zhengtai's eyes lit up, and his gaze was almost glued to the model.
"Thank you, auntie!"
"Play by yourself!" Bai Tang rubbed the top of the child's head, and the soft hair felt very good.
Xiao Zhengtai showed a bright smile and ran to the sofa to play with the model with the Transformers in his arms. Bai Tang walked to Bai Ma's side.
"Xiaokang, this kid is much taller than last year!"
"Children grow up fast!" Bai Ma said, "This child not only grows up faster, but also becomes more sensible." Hey, this fatherless child is distressing! β
"Doesn't he still have you two godgrandpas and grandma in pain?" Bai Tang smiled and changed the topic and asked about Bai Ma's other relatives.
"Zhang Rui is going to take his girlfriend home at the end of the year!" Mother Bai was depressed when she said this. Zhang Rui is the son of Bai Tang's second aunt, one year younger than Bai Tang, everyone has girlfriends, but his daughter has not moved at all.
"Ahh Then I'm not going to hurry up and prepare for the greeting gift! Bai Tang pretended not to see Bai's mother's resentment, and chattered, "What should I send?" Send a jade bracelet or a jade pendant? β
"Just send one thing. Don't show off like an upstart. "Mother Bai believes in wealth and not showing nothing.
"Yes!" Bai Tang gave a military salute.
Wu Xuemei knew that Bai Tang was going home today and got off work early, so before six o'clock, the two families sat down at the dining table. The delicious Yangzhou cuisine was eaten by several people.
"Tangtang, where did you buy these dishes? It's delicious! Next time I'll take my colleague to eat. Wu Xuemei took a bite of the lion's head, so delicious that she almost swallowed her tongue into her stomach.
"I made it myself, and I don't have to sell it outside!" Bai Tang took all the credit to himself, and he couldn't clearly tell Wu Xuemei that these delicious dishes were packed back from ancient times, right? Fortunately, her cooking skills are good, and she also learned some local specialties when she walked the rivers and lakes in the world of Red Mansions, plus the fresh ingredients from ancient times, although she can't make the flavor of other people's restaurants, but she can also make four or five points. Just these four or five points are more delicious than the food made in modern restaurants.
"Okay, Tangtang, with such good cooking skills, my uncle and aunt and I will be blessed." Wu Xuemei said with a smile. She knew this girl's thoughts, so she didn't say anything "good cooking skills can catch a man's stomach".
"Sister Meimei, how is your work now? Is it hard? How much is the salary? Bai Tang asked without any scruples.
"I'm now 1,89 a month, and if I run a lot, I can earn 2,34." Wu Xuemei's face became a little gloomy, her cultural background was not high, she couldn't find an easy and well-paid job, she could only work as a salesman running around, coming and going in the wind and rain every day, and even had very little time to spend with her son.
"That's it! Would you like to help me? I will give you 2,000 yuan a month, but you will be able to work freely and at home. Bai Tang thought about what she was going to do in the future before she went home, she didn't want to continue working 9 to 5, she wanted to open an online store, and be free and relaxed. And after returning from the world of Red Mansions, she was even more determined in this idea, and the purchase channel was not worried!
Wu Xuemei was moved, her working hours were free, she could work at home, and she had extra time to spend with her son.
"Sugar Candy, what is the job? What can I do? β
"I want to open a website, you can help me take orders and deliver goods, and answer some customer questions by the way. I can take care of the rest of the purchase or something. Bai Tang said.
"Online store? What are you going to sell? Wu Xuemei has also heard that online stores make money, and the threshold is very low, but she has no funds and no purchase channels, and this idea can only be an idea.
"I want to sell some embroidery and small classical crafts." Bai Tang put down the dishes and chopsticks, took out an embroidered handkerchief and handed it to Wu Xuemei, "Send it to you!" β
Wu Xuemei took the handkerchief, only to see that it was embroidered with lifelike plum blossoms, as if she could smell the fragrance of plum blossoms.
"Such exquisite embroidery, surely not cheap?" Wu Xuemei was amazed and couldn't put down her handkerchief.
Bai Tang smiled and did not answer. Twenty copper plates, an embroidered handkerchief, ten patterns of money and a rope, it is really too cheap!
Xing Xiaokang's big eyes rolled bonelessly, looking at his mother and then at his aunt, this child understood from the conversation between the two that Aunt Sugar gave her mother a job, and her mother would not work as hard as she did now in the future, and she would have extra time to spend with her. The child was overjoyed and thought that his aunt had come back too well.
The child smiled and squinted, and drank the noodle soup one by oneβthe staple food was noodles, "the noodles that were sent off by the dumplings", and the white mother had already prepared the noodles.
"Little one, laugh at something. Aren't you on summer vacation? Then help your mother more, and your aunt will also pay you a salary when the time comes. Bai Tang smiled and said to Xing Xiaokang.
Xing Xiaokang's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly: "Am I a work-study?" β
"Forget it!"
"Hehe, then I'm going to sue Liu Shun and make them envious!"
"Who is Liu Shun?"
"It's my classmate, my best friend."

The next day, Bai Tang rested happily for a day, and on the third day, Bai Tang, who had rested enough, began to look for a house. City D is a third-tier city, and there are not many high-end real estate, but the surrounding environment and quality of many mid-range real estate are no worse than those in big cities. Bai Tang ran for three days, compared the existing real estate, and bought two new houses. One household has three bedrooms and two living rooms, and one household has one bedroom and one living room, all on the same floor. Bai Tang plans to give a one-bedroom apartment to Xing Xiaokang's mother and son. The relationship between the two families is so good, Bai Dad and Bai Ma must be reluctant to part with Xing Xiaokang, plus they have money in their hands, Bai Tang doesn't care about paying 200,000 more. When the time comes, Wu Xuemei will symbolically collect three or four hundred yuan in rent, and it will be said that it is an employee benefit, and Wu Xuemei will definitely not refuse.
"Ms. Bai, do you have a favorite decoration company?" The sales lady asked with a smile on her face. She was so happy, she didn't expect that the woman in front of her who was pretending to be ordinary was an invisible rich man, from entering the sales office to going to the site to see the house, but she made a purchase in two hours, and she paid in full. I can't see it! Hehe, the other salesmen must be jealous of themselves, but who makes them have no vision!
"Do you have a good introduction?" Bai Tang has a headache about decoration, it is too troublesome, and she hopes to find a decoration company to do it at one time.
"My boyfriend is a renovation company, and he also bought a new house in Binhu Park and renovated several of them." The sales lady seized the opportunity to pull business for her boyfriend.
"Okay! Then you can help me contact him, I hope to help me decorate it all at once, and I don't want to have the trouble of running around in the middle! Bai Tang decided to give the sales lady a face, and the other party also lives in this community, so he should not pit the residents of the community.
"Okay, I'll get in touch right away!" The sales lady was even happier and immediately called her boyfriend. His boyfriend was also very happy when he heard the news, put down the phone and rushed to the sales office, and appeared in front of Bai Tang in less than ten minutes.
"Hello, Ms. Bai! My name is Lu Heng! "Lu Heng is about twenty-eight or nineteen years old, tall, and looks more like an athlete than a designer.
"Hello!" Bai Tang shook hands with Lu Heng, and after the two talked, they found that the house Lu Heng bought was actually the same as the house Bai Tang bought, and it was one floor below it.
"This is really fate!" Lu Heng smiled, "I'll give you a twenty percent discount!" β
"Thank you so much!" Bai Tang also accepted with a smile, and the two quickly signed a decoration contract, and Bai Tang said goodbye and left.
"Let's make a big profit today, and let's celebrate in the evening, shall we? I want to eat barbecue! Bai Tang heard what the sales lady said to Lu Heng.
"No, I still have a party tonight, you can find someone else to accompany you!" Lu Heng's tone was obviously very perfunctory.
Bai Tang sped up and left the two, it seems that the relationship between the two is not very harmonious!
The house was bought, the renovation began, and Bai Tang had time to handle the online store. It's very simple to open an online store, but there are too many online stores on the Internet, and Bai Tang didn't pay the website publicity fee, and her small store was lost in the crowd.
"Tangtang, this can't be done! Our store is not famous, people don't come to our store, it's been more than half a month, and there is no business! Wu Xuemei has resigned and stays at home every day to help Baitang take care of the shop.
"Sister Meimei, the new store opening is like this! You don't have to worry, our stuff is all high-quality and will definitely sell. Saying this, Bai Tang also had some drums in his heart, saying that the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, but in today's society, no one has the leisure to go to the alleys to find wine to drink, right? Bai Tang thought about whether to let the website exploit it and spend some money to advertise the shop.
Before she could make a decision, she heard Wu Xuemei shouting excitedly: "Tangtang, there is a business!" β
In the first business, the other party only ordered an embroidered handkerchief and a wood-carved dressing box. But these two items are already 3,000 yuan - the things in the small shop are not cheap, which is the main reason why no one has bought them.
"Hengdian Film and Television City?" Wu Xuemei wrote the recipient's address and guessed, "Which costume drama crew won't buy us, right?" β
"Maybe!" Bai Tang's eyes lit up, if he could really open the line of the costume drama crew, why should he worry about selling things in his own store in the future? I hope that the people who bought this time have an eye and can see the good things in their own store.
The buyer was indeed very discerning, and a week after the thing was sent, the buyer placed another order. This time, he ordered ten embroidered handkerchiefs, ten wooden hairpins, sixteen strings and two dressing boxes in one go.
