Chapter 41: The cherry is red

It is no wonder that Shuyun's fish and shrimp are so sought-after, although at this time, there are many rivers and water nets near the capital, but most of the aquatic products here are some ordinary carp, grass carp and the like. Like the sturgeon, salmon, and salmon sold by Shuyun, the people in the capital don't even hear of it. Even those ordinary species are extraordinary. Just ask, who doesn't like good-looking, those big red and yellow fish, look at it and celebrate. Even if it's a little more expensive than the average one, but the real rich people, who is worse than these two jujubes. If you buy it back, you just don't eat it, and you just want to be auspicious, and it's not fresh to see it.

Chen Ce, who was surrounded by everyone, saw that Shuyun was back, and hurriedly squeezed out of the encirclement of everyone and came to Shuyun. Asked, "Little sister, you see that there are still so many people who want to buy our fish and have something to order, how can you reply to them?" ”

Shuyun thought about it for a moment and said, "Since our fish and shrimp are so sought-after, then we won't come here tomorrow to sell them as originally planned." If anyone else wants to buy it, let him pre-order, and we will write down how much we buy, tell them the address, let them pick it up themselves, and we will prepare it in advance. Anyway, now we are not afraid of Zhuangzi being remembered. In this way, we can save the toss back and forth, and it will be much more convenient for us. However, it should also be noted that to control the quantity to be sold, we also need to keep some for seeding. Do you think that's going to work, big brother? ”

Chen Ce nodded and said, "That's the best, I think so too." Then I'm going to talk to those who want to buy it now. ”

Wait until all the customers are gone. It's not too late, and the businesses aren't closed. Shuyun will go to Chen Ce to the overpass. Sook Wan wants to buy a small storefront here.

Because the overpass is bustling and lively, not to mention the Hu Ji dim sum shop of Sister-in-law's Osmanthus also has a branch here. If you can open a store here and become neighbors with Sister-in-law Guihua, then it is very natural that there will be a relationship between the two adjacent grocery stores and dim sum shops that mainly sell candy, and no one will suspect it. In that case, Shuyun and Juan's family can establish a new relationship. It's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. That's why Shuyun discussed with Chen Ce and chose to open a store here in Tianqiao.

In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, the people who had been tormented by natural disasters and man-made disasters had just recuperated for a few years, and then caught up with the rebellion of the three feudatories. There are several shops on the street that have posted notices for rent or sale.

This is just right for Shuyun to make it easier for them. So Shuyun and Chen Ce found a store to sell closest to Hu Kee Dim Sum Shop. The specifications of this store are also very in line with Shuyun's requirements, the place is not large, only 40 square meters, blue brick houses, gray exterior walls. There is also a small yard at the back. There are two jujube trees and a persimmon tree in the courtyard. It was very clean. In addition, there are two living rooms, a kitchen, and a firewood room.

The house is very well maintained and eighty percent new. As long as it is slightly renovated, the floor is paved with stone slabs, the interior walls are painted with white plaster, and in some places a new layer of paint is painted. Put it on the shelves and counters, and you can open the door for business.

Shuyun and Chen Ce were very satisfied with it, and began to negotiate the price with the shopkeeper Lao Yu. This old man is called Yu Qingxiang, in his 40s, thin and small, with a shrewd face. This shop was originally intended to be inherited by his youngest son, but his youngest son was conscripted by the imperial court and incorporated into the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty to fight Wu Sangui. I didn't want to, but I died on the battlefield. So as soon as Lao Yu saw this shop, he thought of his youngest son, who had just turned 20 years old, and couldn't help but feel sad, so he wanted to sell it so as not to touch the scene. Seeing Shuyun, they really want to buy it. The shrewd old Yu thought about raising the price, and asked for a thousand taels of silver when he opened his mouth. In fact, Shuyun and the others had already inquired about the price in advance, and a shop like this could almost be bought for eight hundred taels.

Shuyun saw that Lao Yu was so dishonest, so she opened her mouth and returned a price of five hundred taels. I almost didn't come up in one breath when I choked on the old man. So the two sides fought for a while. After the worst, Shuyun really didn't like to grind with him, but this still made this old Yu take advantage of it and sold it at a price of 850 taels. The two parties signed an agreement and gave Lao Yu a deposit of 50 taels. As long as you go to the yamen early tomorrow morning to go through the transfer procedures, you can pay off the money to Lao Yu. This shop is Shuyun's.

In fact, at this time, it is quite cost-effective to buy a store in Beijing. In four years, the rebellion of the three feudatories will be completely pacified, and the Qing Dynasty will gradually enter a period of peaceful development. When armed conflicts and political movements cease in this world, people will naturally have to look for new directions. Of course, the thirst for money is indispensable, and people's psychological desires need to be satisfied at all times. The era of money worship will come. As a result, more and more corruption will breed and more people will go into business. As society develops, prices will get higher and higher. At that time, such a shop will not be able to be bought for 850 taels.

In fact, if you have spare money, you can buy a few more shops now and wait for the appreciation of the value. It's just that Shuyun is too lazy to that heart.

But when I think about it, the children I adopted will gradually grow up and go into society, no matter what industry they want to engage in in the future, it is essential to understand society and human nature. In the process of doing business, ushering in and sending each other is the best way to exercise people. So why not buy two shops, and when the children are almost done learning, we will leave it to them to operate, so that everyone can intern for a period of time, as a window for them to understand society.

Thinking of this, Shuyun and Chen Ce discussed and negotiated two more stores one after another. It is also on this street, which is larger than the current one, and costs a total of 2,800 taels of silver. It is also a deposit to be paid in advance. Shuyun and Chen Ce don't have enough money in their hands now to pay the full amount. And now that it has been negotiated, I am also in love. So Shuyun didn't want to wait any longer, so she was ready to take some gold out of the space. also told Chen Ce, who was worried that he would not have enough money to pay, to rest assured that he still had some private money.

After dealing with these, the follow-up matters can be taken care of by Chen Ce.

In the past two days, the big cherries on the Zhuangzi are ripe, yellow, red, and agate-like fruits are all over the mountains, and they are very beautiful. But the farmers and children who had never seen a big cherry were very happy, saying that this big cherry was festive when they looked at it, and it tasted better. As a result, the children ran up the hill after class, scrambling to find some ripe fruit that had fallen to the ground to eat. The children are still very well-behaved, and even if the ones on the trees are ripe, they will never touch them without permission.

Shuyun was also very happy to see this situation. On the second day after returning from selling fish, Shuyun changed the two labor classes in the afternoon to the morning, and organized the children to go up the mountain to pick cherries early in the morning.

Each of the 86 children was given a small basket, and they were divided into ten teams, and they were asked to choose their own captains and vice-captains. They are then paid according to the number of picks.

Shuyun has always implemented this kind of policy for the children, usually do not give the children pocket money, they want money, they have to earn it themselves, or help the farmers do some farm work, or take out the garbage in the garbage can by the pond, or some other work they can do, as long as they do it well, they will exchange some pocket money from Shuyun, and then if they want to buy something, give the money to Qian Afu, and when he goes to the city to buy, he will help them bring it back. Shuyun just wants to cultivate the concept of self-reliance and more work.

Shuyun's approach was opposed by Mr. Du at first, saying that Shuyun's doing so was insulting and would make the children become philistines. Even Chen Ce, who had never refuted Shuyun, also put forward his opinion euphemistically.

It is no wonder that people in this era, especially those who read, often regard money as dung, and everything is inferior, only reading is high. Shinong industry and commerce, except for studying, the others are regarded as the lower ninth class. Even a more enlightened reader like Mr. Du is not exempt from vulgarity. Therefore, it is very normal that children do not want to exchange money in this way. This phenomenon is not caused by a certain person, which is the sadness of the times.

And Shuyun ignored the opposition of the two of them, and insisted on doing so. He also told the children a lot of truths and stories about how much work is more, and there is no shame in exchanging labor for income. Won the approval of the children. So that this policy has been smoothly implemented.

Shuyun took the children to happily pick cherries, and from time to time there were bursts of singing on the mountain, "On the Field of Hope".

It was at this time that the people who bought the fish came. It was quite interesting to see that the hillside was full of big cherries that they had never seen before, that looked so beautiful and so attractive.

asked Qian Afu what the name of this fruit was, whether it was delicious or not, and whether it was sold. Seeing this, Qian Afu ran over to ask Shuyun, who was watching the children not far away. So Shuyun went over with Qian Afu and asked those people to taste the cherries. Everyone applauded in surprise after eating.

Among these people, there are some restaurant shopkeepers and housekeepers of the magnates, and their subordinates bought fish yesterday, and after they went back to make it, they found it very delicious. All have been praised by the boss or the owner. Therefore, the shopkeeper and the housekeepers came in person today, in addition to those who ordered in advance yesterday, there were many people who bought fish and shrimp yesterday, but they didn't have time to order with Chen Ce later. They also came together. And there are long-term plans to buy fish from Shuyun.

They didn't expect that Shuyun's Zhuangzi not only had delicious fish and shrimp, but also such delicious big cherries. So they all paid for it, and no one thought that the price of a pound or two of silver that Shuyun wanted was too expensive. Also, is it rare to be expensive, everyone has seen and eaten it for the first time. Is the picture fresh, not to mention that it tastes so good.

But Shuyun, whether it is fish and shrimp, or big cherries, has given them a limited purchase. This makes these people even more flocking.
