In addition to the shopkeeper, there is also a young man in his teens in the store, dressed in gray short brown, who looks white and clean, and is also very warm and thoughtful to people, and does not treat Shen Lan's mother and daughter slowly because they are wearing old clothes.

"What kind of fabric do you want to buy from my sister-in-law and this sister-in-law?" There was a smile on his mouth, not a philistine, perfunctory smile, but a kind smile.

"Look, little brother will go and entertain others first, our mother and daughter will trouble the little brother to cut us." Shen Zhao replied, and the guy listened, smiled and retreated, and no longer bothered Shen Lan's mother and daughter.

Shen Zhao really picked up the fabric, and it seemed that he was really going to buy it, and Shen Lan took the opportunity to walk to the counter.

"Shopkeeper, can I discuss something with you?" The shopkeeper sitting behind the counter took the book in his hand, put the abacus and pen, ink and paper in front of him, and raised his head slightly when he heard Shen Lan's voice.

"I don't know what's wrong with the lady?" The shopkeeper looked at Shen Lan with a torch in his eyes.

Shen Lan was really a little uncomfortable being looked at like this, plus she didn't have any sales experience in the past, and she was a little nervous when she took something to the store to sell it for the first time, but after all, she was not a rural woman who didn't know anything in this era, so although she was uncomfortable, she still didn't retreat because of shyness or anything else, but opened the cloth bag hanging on her shoulder.

"That's right, shopkeeper, I made some dolls and want to sell them in your store, I don't know if it's convenient?" Shen Lan took out the prepared puppet head-on.

The shopkeeper didn't move, but silently watched Shen Lan put a few dolls on the counter one by one, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "The appearance is novel, but I don't sell puppets in this store." ”

Shen Lan couldn't help blushing when she heard this, but although she didn't do sales, she wasn't careless. So he cheekily said: "In the past, it was not sold, but now it can be sold, my doll is the most suitable for children to play, if the woman who takes the child out sees the child crying and asking, can she still refuse to buy it?" ”

The shopkeeper fixed his eyes on the puppet, which was not delicate in terms of sewing and fabric. The only thing that can be interesting is the novelty of the style. It's just that if he sells it on the cabinet, he is afraid that if he doesn't wait for the thing to be sold, this doll will also be learned. After thinking about it for a while, the shopkeeper still shook his head and refused.

When Shen Lan was about to say something more, the shopkeeper had already spoken: "This store does not sell anything related to cloth, and your doll is certainly interesting." It's just that most of the people who come to the store to buy cloth are countrymen, and where are they willing to buy this thing. As for those who are willing to pay for it, I'm afraid they won't be able to look down on the material of this doll, so you don't have to say more. ”

Being rejected so clearly, Shen Lan felt a little sad in her heart. However, she still put the doll back into the cloth bag, it seems that she has done useless work, and Shen Zhao has already selected some fabrics over there. I'm letting that guy cut it.

Shen Zhao came to the counter with the fabric, just in time to see Shen Lan's disappointed face. also understood that Shen Lan's purpose of this trip had not been achieved, so she smiled and comforted: "You haven't done much, when the child in your belly comes out, you can just take it to the child to play, don't be sad." ”

Yesterday, Shen Lan's load of sorghum was sold for 300 wen, Shen Zhao felt that with this money, it was enough for Shen Lan to defend herself and buy some household goods, and she also believed that since her daughter could get a load of sorghum in a few days, she would naturally be able to get it next time, and she would take it out and sell it when the time came, and she didn't have to care about these gadgets at all.

Although Shen Zhao comforted Shen Lan, Shen Lan was still a little unhappy in her heart, and she was very confused, through this trip, she also understood that it was not easy to travel in ancient times, even if she had something to sell, it would be a waste of manpower and time, and she might not be able to sell it, as for doing business in the countryside, it would be even more difficult, because everyone didn't have much money in their hands, and no matter how good the things were, there was no market, so naturally it would be in vain.

Shen Zhao paid the money and walked out with Shen Lan, but said as he walked: "Lan Niang, don't think about anything else, your sorghum method is very good, and then my mother will give you some chickens, and you can raise them to supplement the family, but don't waste time on these useless things." ”

Shen Lan didn't say anything when she listened, but intuitively felt that what Shen Zhao said was not right, if she had space and couldn't grow things quickly, where could she make money, and besides, in the era in which she lived, farmers were not profitable professions, not to mention that she didn't even have basic land, if she didn't think of doing a small business, the future would definitely not be easy.

So she still wants to do business, although it is not good to be a teacher today, but Shen Lan feels that it is the reason why she did not do her homework, and she also misestimated the ability of the market and piracy, thinking of these Shen Lan's face slowly improved, and at the same time she understood in her heart that what she needs now is the stage of accumulating upfront funds, and only when she has money can she want to do business.

In this way, Shen Lan's mood is also relaxed, she wants to come over, the road in the county seat is too far away, and it is not cost-effective to have a lot of time to go back and forth every time, so there is no time to sell things, unless it is easy to sell food and have a special store to buy things, otherwise it is too late, unless she originally lived in the county seat, but Shen Lan does not have that ability now, so she had better focus on the bazaar, do some irregular small business to accumulate a certain amount of money, Then he went to the county seat to develop his career.

Thinking about it like this, Shen Lan also calmed down, and when she walked to the place where Shen Xiaoquan was waiting, her face returned to normal.

"How? Did Lan Niang's things sell? Shen Xiaoquan asked.

Shen Zhao shook his head, but seeing that Shen Lan was no longer in trouble, he said: "The shopkeeper doesn't like to buy them, but those can also be put at home, even if you go to relatives to give gifts to other people's children." ”

"It's okay, if you can't make money, forget it, it's a serious thing for us to grow food and crops well." Shen Xiaoquan said with a smile that for farmers, planting land is the most serious thing.

Shen Lan nodded, but instead of agreeing with them, she said, "Dad, where can I buy pottery?" ”

"What? Do you want to buy a cylinder? Shen Xiaoquan also knew that Shen Lan had no water tank or rice tank at home, in fact, he had planned to sell the bamboo utensils and take Shen Lan to the kiln to buy one.

Shen Lan didn't answer, but asked, "Dad, how much did those sorghum sell?" If you have something handy, can you give it to me first? ”

"Oh, I sold it for three hundred wen, and I was going to give it to you when I went back, what, what do you want to buy?" Shen Xiaoquan replied honestly, but when he heard his daughter ask him about money, he was still a little uncomfortable, thinking that his daughter was afraid that he would be greedy for her money.

Shen Lan didn't think much about it, heard that there were three hundred texts, and then thought of the prices of this era, and felt a little relieved, so she replied: "I want to use this money to do some small business, just now I thought of an idea, isn't there a set every half a month?" I'd like to set up a pitcher stall at the market and use the money to buy some knick-knacks as prizes. ”

Shen Lan said her plan, in fact, her revelation was the ring she played in the park when she was a child, and this was because she thought about how to sell the dolls she made.

"Do business." Shen Xiaoquan didn't object, but he didn't understand what business his daughter wanted to do, as for what kind of thing was the pitcher?

"Well, so I want to go to the place that sells ceramics and buy some everyday household things to make prizes." Shen Lan thought about it, everyone has a speculative heart to bet on luck, and being able to buy something of higher value with a small amount of money can attract the attention of some speculators no matter what.

"Lan Niang, what should you do with this pot throwing business? Is the cost big? Shen Zhao asked, if he could think of a good way to make money, Shen Zhao would naturally not let it go.

"Mother, that's the case, let's put a pot, and then get ten arrows to sell to someone who wants to play, that person stands at a certain distance behind and throws arrows into the pot, one of which we set up a prize, and if you win two, there will be a higher prize, and so on ten will win the biggest prize, of course, if you don't vote, you can't get anything." Shen Lan explained that in modern times, there are many such games, but they have just become target shooting, dart throwing and ring rings.

"Daughter, aren't you going to lose money in this way?" Shen Zhao said.

"How can you lose money?" Shen Lan asked, after all, it is necessary to set up difficulties, how can everyone be able to hit the pot.

"People exchanged a penny for your prizes, and according to you, those prizes must be worth a lot, why don't you lose money?" Shen Xiaoquan also opened......

"Dad, mother, you don't understand what I mean, that pot is naturally not good, and the more advanced the prize, the worse it is, and I have thought about it, the first prize is worth ten yuan, the second prize is in the range of five yuan, the third prize is two yuan, the consolation prize is less than one article, the first prize is ten arrows, the second prize is eight to nine, the third prize is five to seven, and the consolation prize is one to four, so the setting is reasonable?" Shen Lan said.

After listening to Shen Lan's explanation, the two old ones were even more worried, people exchanged one penny for ten pennies, and their daughter had to die? Thinking like this, Shen Xiaoquan and his wife also asked.

"Lan Niang, if everyone wins the first prize, where do you have so much money to pay for the prizes?" Shen Zhao asked worriedly.

Shen Lan raised her forehead, is she such a stupid person? But in the distrustful eyes of his father and mother, he had to explain again: "Dad, mother, if you place a pot three zhang away, can you be sure that you can throw all ten arrows into it?" (To be continued)
