Chapter 6 Don't be afraid to follow the trend

"Where did you two go? When will all this come back? ”

As soon as the Wu Tian sisters and brothers entered the house and put down the bench, they alarmed the mother who was cooking in the kitchen, and Chu Yumei shouted at the sisters and brothers with a rice spoon.

Wu Yuan was immediately frightened by her mother's momentum, and lowered her head weakly and didn't dare to say anything.

Wu Tian doesn't eat this set, more than 30 years of experience shows that my mother has always been a powerful mouth, and she has never slapped our sisters and brothers since she was a child.

"Mom, the pot is mushy!" Wu Tian exclaimed with a hippie smile.

"Ah......" When Chu Yumei heard this, she hurriedly ran back to the kitchen, but her mouth kept chattering, "Let you watch the door at home, but you ran away without a shadow, and it was dark before you knew that you came back?" Hmph, I'll settle accounts for you when I'm ready! ”

Wu Tian pouted helplessly, we wanted to come back early, but the problem is that the business is too good, with our repeated actions, we finally baked the business prosperous, especially when it was almost dark, there were many people passing by after work, and they were surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, if it wasn't for the fact that we couldn't see the writing after dark, I was afraid that we wouldn't be able to disperse.

Alas, writing is actually a manual job...... Wu Tian rubbed his sore wrist and glanced at the old lady, and the two villains got into the back room, and as soon as the door was closed, Wu Yuan began to pick up his pockets, a handful of RMB, one cent, two cents, one piece, two pieces......

"A total of thirteen yuan and six cents!" Wu Yuan counted carefully for a long time and shouted excitedly.

"Huh? Only thirteen dollars? Wu Tian was very disappointed, you must know that the Daoist brother has been busy for most of the day, and his tired wrist is sore, and he has only earned a dozen yuan? What is this money for?

"Don't be satisfied, how much is our mother's salary a month?" Wu Yuan said, "And Mr. Chang, he hasn't opened for an afternoon, and he helped us cut paper......

Thinking about Lao Chang's aggrieved and depressed expression, Wu Tian couldn't help but want to laugh. Thinking about the current prices, as well as his mother's salary of forty or fifty yuan a month, Wu Tian was a little relieved, earning more than a dozen yuan in half a day, which seemed to be not less......

But the problem is that according to this calculation, if we are busy until the New Year, we can only earn more than 100 yuan at most, and then give half to the "partner" sister, and we are afraid that the rest of the money is not enough to buy a wooden bed!

No, this business needs to be improved......

Wu Tianzheng was thinking about it, and heard his father outside the door calling his mother for help, and the sister and brother ran out of the house without saying a word, but saw that the father was pushing Erba permanently, and there was an old wooden bed on top of which I didn't know where I got it, and I was sweating along the way.

Wu Tian looked at the dilapidated little wooden bed, and secretly sighed that in order to live a happy life, my father is more anxious than us. That's fine, although according to today's business situation, we don't need to make enough money for a bed by the end of the year, but this money can not be used to buy a bed, and it is better to save it as capital and reinvest, isn't it?

*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************

"Brother Chang is early." Wu Tian slept in a bed alone for the first time after his rebirth, and woke up early in the morning in good spirits. After being reborn, the biggest problem that plagued him was easily solved, and Wu Tian's mood was not ordinarily high.

In fact, it was not early, it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning. There is no way, I have to wait until I have breakfast, my father goes to work and leaves, and my mother cleans up and goes to work slowly, so that I can sneak out of the "stall".

But fortunately, Chang Tianhua had already laid out the table and everything, and the Wu Tian sisters and brothers only needed to take out the brush, arrange the ink, and then hang the couplets written by their grandfather as "samples" on the back wall.

"Ah, Xiaotian and Xiaoyuan are here, hehe......" Chang Tianhua replied with a slight curtle.

Wu Tian couldn't help but feel a little strange, Chang Tianhua's attitude was a bit abnormal, although he didn't react too much when we called him "Brother Chang" yesterday, but he was a little dissatisfied, but today he acquiesced to this title and didn't say it, and it seemed to be a little guilty?

What's going on?

Wu Tian's eyes swept slightly, and he couldn't help but smile a little dumbly - I saw that Chang Tianhua's table had already set up red notes for writing Spring Festival couplets, but it was obvious that these notes were much wider than yesterday's!

Oh, it seems that honest people also have red eyes, and seeing that our business is so prosperous with the trick of "wide paper and big words", he can't help but follow suit. But the problem is that we don't just rely on the fact that the paper is wide and the characters are large, and the business is booming, and he can't learn the sign of "prodigy".

"Brother Chang, how is business?" Wu Tian smiled, but his eyes kept staring at the stack of wide red papers.

"It's early, there is no one on the street ......" Chang Tianhua is an authentic intellectual, his face is not ordinary thin, and he blushed before he could say anything. After all, seeing that other people's business was good, he immediately followed suit, and the other party was still a six or seven-year-old child, which was a bit inconsistent with his position as an intellectual. However, since Wu Tian's sister and brother came yesterday afternoon, he was stunned that it was not opened, and when he went back at night, he was complained by his wife, and the most important thing is that the situation at home really needs money, and he can't afford to look at his face again.

"Hehe, I see there's already someone lining up over there?" Wu Tian's eyes looked at the two large stalls near the entrance of Xinhua Bookstore, and indeed three or five people had gathered and were queuing up to write Spring Festival couplets.

As soon as he said this, Chang Tianhua's face became a little more resentful and said: "They have all changed the paper!" ”

Wu Tian was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look carefully, but saw that most of the stalls on a street had been replaced with wide paper, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a while, although the Chinese people have always had the habit of following the trend in business, especially in Shannan Province, in the later generations, as long as there is a good business, there will be countless people to follow immediately, and they will not give up if they do not make this business stink. But I don't want to be so powerful as early as the early eighties, and it's only been an overnight effort, and I have learned the same thing all over the street?

Wu Tian looked at Chang Tianhua's aggrieved expression, smiled in his heart, and asked, "Brother Chang, do you know where there is a wholesale door?" ”

The so-called door heart, is the New Year's painting, although there are also directly written four-word couplets to make the door heart, but after all, it is not as good as pasting the colorful printed New Year's picture.

"There's a printing shop." Chang Tianhua said, "Why are you asking this?" ”

Wu Tian said with a smile: "Do business to pay attention to a full range of products, I only write couplets here, it is better for you to buy wholesale snacks, let's engage in complementary resources, mutual benefit and reciprocity." ”

Chang Tianhua was stunned when he heard it, what kind of nouns are in this child's mouth? Fortunately, Chang Tianhua is a teacher, and he can understand the meaning - he is saying that he buys couplets and asks us to sell hearts? That's okay, he sells a couplet, we can also sell a pair of hearts by the way, although a pair of hearts is at most a few cents, it's better than not opening for a day.

The problem is that we are a dignified teacher, and it is okay to write couplets and sell them, which can be regarded as a cultural job, but if we sell them wholesale, then we will not become pure small traders and hawkers? That's how you can't pull off this face!

Seeing that Chang Tianhua was not happy, Wu Tian didn't care about him, greeted the old lady to look at the stall, ran to Xinhua Bookstore to buy ten pieces of red paper, and then went to the paint counter to buy a small bag of gold dust for two cents.

It is said to be gold powder, but in fact it is brass powder, and it is not an ordinary style to write golden characters after mixing it with water. In later generations, many printed couplets were printed with gold characters, but this year is not popular, if we come to a "first in the world", how can we make more than a few cents?

"Golden couplet, three cents and a pair!" Wu Tian returned to the stall, wrote a sample with gold dust, and hung it on the wall, and shouted.

Commodities still have to be divided into high and low grades, low-grade products are produced, and high-end products are profitable, which is the king.

Chang Tianhua couldn't help but pouted secretly, isn't it just that the black ink has been replaced with gold powder paste, you dare to raise the price? Who can be so stupid to spend this extra dime?

But the problem is that Wu Tian just shouted here, there was a guy in a suit and tie standing on his feet, obviously this "got rich first" was very interested in Jin Cancan's couplet, although he was a little hesitant about Wu Tian's age, but he couldn't resist Wu Tian's three-inch tongue flickering, and asked for six couplets plus a gold-lettered door heart in one breath, one of the couplets on the door was also fooled by Wu Tian to spend a high price of one dollar, and he bought a super wide and super-large one.

Seeing Wu Yuan happily counting more than six yuan into the account, and then looking at the four or five people lining up in front of Wu Tian next to him waiting to write couplets, Chang Tianhua was not ordinary depressed, he vigorously supported the frame of his glasses, and finally gritted his teeth and turned his head to go to the printing factory on the other street......
