Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Lazy New Shopkeeper
The old lady said that no matter if her son wanted to go back to the countryside, it was just angry talk, and she didn't dare to make the matter public, if it was known that Shen Mingwen was not filial, it was very likely that she would be dismissed.
Shen Mingwen's fame is more important than anything else in Li's mind!
Shen Mingwen was determined to stay in the inn, even if Shen Mingjun and the relatives of the Shen family tried to persuade him, it would be useless, and later the two sides simply stalemate.
On the sixth day of the fourth month, on the third day after Shen Mingwen came back, Li gritted her teeth and went back to the village, she was going to bring her second son and third son to the city, and by the way, Shen Mingwen's wife Wang and two daughters were also brought over.
Shen Xi knew that the Li family mainly wanted to go back and bring his second uncle Shen Mingyou and third uncle Shen Mingtang over to take over the tea shop business, so as to prevent the signs of family separation after the family became dominant.
When the Li family entered the city, he was accompanied by his eldest son, and naturally he had to be accompanied by someone when he returned to his hometown, and Shen Mingjun still couldn't go home.
On the ninth day of the first month, the Shen family and his family entered the city in an ox cart.
The first thing Li did after entering the city was to send the two daughters of Wang and Shen Mingwen to the inn and launch a family offensive to make Shen Mingwen compromise.
Then the Li family took Shen Mingyou and Shen Mingtang to the tea shop and took over the management of the tea shop from Han Wuye.
“…… I tell you, as long as I live, this house will not be dispersed. ”
In the small courtyard of the Shen family, the Li family gathered the three sons except Shen Mingwen and Shen Mingxin, the fourth elder in the countryside, to give a lecture. Нёǐуапge.сОМ
On the other side, the Wang family took their two daughters to the inn for a whole day, but nothing came of it, and they came back to report to the Li family before dark.
Li scolded: "Useless things, even my father-in-law can't take care of them...... I'm going to run away from home, and I don't know how you live your life on weekdays! ”
The Wang family was originally unhappy, and in order to revitalize the family, the mother-in-law actually locked her husband in the attic for a whole year, making her a widow. When Wang was in the countryside, he had a lot of opinions about his mother-in-law, but he didn't dare to resist because of Li's obscenity, and now he had Shen Mingwen to start, and when she heard her mother-in-law reprimand, she plucked up the courage to reply: "Mother, I am on the side of Xianggong in this matter." ”
"You...... What did you say? Say it again! ”
Shen Mingyou hurriedly grabbed the Li family and said with a smile: "Mother, you see that this is the city, or the old man's house, it's not good for the neighbors to hear it, let's go in and talk about something, let's dissipate our anger first." ”
Shen Mingyou is the laziest of the brothers, and he is also the most sleek and sophisticated. He knew that this time the Li family asked him to go into the city with the third child, Shen Mingtang, to choose one of them to manage the tea shop, so he naturally wanted to behave well in front of his mother.
The family walked into the hall, and the Li family glanced around and waved his hand: "Qian'er, Man'er, you two go out with Xiaolang, there is nothing to do with your juniors here." ”
Shen Qian and Shen Man are the daughters of Shen Mingwen and the Wang family, Shen Qian is fourteen years old, and Shen Man is only eight years old, but they are both older than Shen Xi. Seeing their grandmother drive them away, Shen Qian and Shen Man were a little at a loss for a while.
Shen Xi nodded at them: "Eldest sister, fourth sister, let's go eat first." ”
"Okay."
At Shen Qian's age, she basically knew what was going on, she took her sister's hand and followed Shen Xi out of the yard, and when she was about to get to the back door of the pharmacy, Zhou came out.
Zhou was going to go home to have a look, but when she saw Shen Xi, she saved trouble, so she directly pulled her son in and asked, knowing that there was no result, she didn't want to get involved.
That night, the Li family and others went to Shen Xi's lobby uncle's house to spend the night, Shen Qian and Shen Man followed together, due to the more people around him, Shen Mingjun was finally allowed to stay at home with the Zhou family.
As soon as the drum beat the next morning, Shen Mingjun rushed to take care of his mother, and when Shen Xi had breakfast and was ready to go to school, Shen Mingjun turned back and brought the Li family's final decision: the shopkeeper of the tea shop handed over to Shen Xi's second uncle, Shen Mingyou.
Zhou was very dissatisfied after hearing this: "The second uncle, who likes to work weekdays, rarely even does farm work at home, where is he the material for managing money?" ”
Shen Mingjun said helplessly: "This is my mother's decision...... My mother is now worried about my eldest brother's affairs, and when I look back at my mother, don't say anything to her old man. ”
Zhou's face darkened, and he handed over the account book of the tea shop and asked Shen Mingjun to take it to Shen Mingyou.
When Shen Mingyou was born, the Shen family was still well-off, so he went to school and knew some words, which was probably the main reason why the Li family asked him to take over the tea shop.
The first thing Shen Mingyou did after taking office as the shopkeeper was to read all the accounts, and then told Li that he had no problem accounting for the accounts.
Shen Mingyou felt that Han Wuye was just hired by the tea shop to tell the story, and it was too much of a loss to share the profits of the tea shop, so he simply decided to turn the share into a fixed monthly fee, and there was no increase or decrease in the quantity, basically according to the monthly money set by Han Wuye's daily share.
Han Wuye didn't want to interfere too much in the Shen family's housework, and the floating share was changed to a fixed monthly income, and he didn't reduce his income, and he was happy to accept it.
In the first few days when Shen Mingyou became the shopkeeper, he did a lot of actions in the tea shop, mainly for how to deduct the monthly money for the guys below, as for the work-study bonus, he simply canceled it, thinking that this kind of money was wasted and meaningless.
Li was very supportive of Shen Mingyou's decision.
On April 13, the Li family took Shen Mingyou to the small courtyard of Shen Xi's house, and counted Shen Mingjun in front of the Zhou family and Shen Xi: "...... Look at your second brother, he has just taken over the tea shop, and the business has done well, and there are a lot of places that can be saved. ”
Shen Xi thought to himself, according to Shen Ming's business ideas, he could indeed throttle in a short period of time, but there was no open source, which made Han Wuye and the guys below complain that they couldn't do things well.
Even if Shen Xi knew these words in his heart, he couldn't mention them to the old lady in person. The cold war between the old lady and Shen Mingwen is still going on, and the Wang family, who was originally brought to the city by her to persuade her husband, now simply moved to the inn to live a small life with her husband, which made the Li family even more annoyed.
"Look at what my mother said, this business is our Shen family, can I not care as a member of the Shen family?" Shen Mingyou, who was praised by the Li family, was particularly modest, "After the business is done, the family can save a little lighter, I am going to use this money to put a few pieces of land on the edge of the city, and then build a big house." ”
Shen Mingjun reminded: "Second brother, shouldn't you keep the money to make the shop bigger and stronger?" ”
Li's face was very unhappy: "Can our Shen family do the thing of putting the cart before the horse?" No matter how big the business is, there will be a yellow day, and only by buying more land can our Shen family return to its former appearance. Don't always fail to learn from others. ”
This is as if the son and daughter-in-law have learned badly...... Zhou helped out in the pharmacy, and the owner of the pharmacy, Hui Niang, made money by turning one pharmacy into two.
In ancient times, business is the end, and the land is the foundation, the ancients advocated the end of the profit, to keep it, to put it bluntly is to do business to make money, and then use the money earned to buy the local owner, which is why there are few big businessmen in ancient times, capital is not used to expand business and blindly want the local owner to exploit others.
Zhou heard it and went in his left ear and out of his right ear.
But when Zhou returned to the pharmacy and talked to Hui Niang about it, there were many complaints.
Hui Niang was the listener first, and after listening to Zhou's words, she handed over the bowl full of rice: "Sister said that she was tired, let's continue after eating...... Today, my sister went to a few bookstores in the city, our books are selling very well, and now it is difficult to buy another one in the city. ”
Zhou touched his chest and said, "At the end of this day, my sister's words make people feel comfortable when they hear it." ”
Shen Xi ate silently, and he was also thinking about the sudden popularity of this sales.
At this time, it is difficult for readers to read hard behind closed doors, so they usually read some miscellaneous books to pass the time. In the past, those bookstores had never sold booklets, so no one paid attention to them at first. After a person accidentally touches and buys it, he immediately indulges in the book, which quickly forms an advertising effect, and soon everyone else knows about it and rushes to buy it, so there will be a situation where no one cares about the book when it is first placed in the bookstore, but suddenly it sells hot and quickly sells out.
As soon as this book comes out, it will have a huge impact on the operation of the tea shop.
In the past, the business of the tea shop was booming, because the new book had just come out, and everyone wanted to listen to it first, and then the book was put on the shelves for public sale, and when the literate people bought and read it, they would tell people in the street, after all, the neighbors got together to have a better atmosphere, and it was much more than going to the tea shop to spend money to listen to the book.
