Sister-in-law Zhang and sister-in-law Liu went to buy it once, but they also returned empty-handed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info As a result, the next day they didn't do breakfast and went out before dawn, so they grabbed a few pieces and came back. Zhang's sister-in-law said that even if they went to line up early in the morning, they could only buy two yuan per person, so they couldn't help the Liu family bring one.

When washing clothes by the well, Sister-in-law Zhang and her sisters ostentatiously washed their clothes with soap and washed those dirty clothes cleanly, which made Liu's heart, which was still using a washing stick.

The first thing he recommended became a weapon for Zhang's sister-in-law, which made the self-proclaimed virtuous and virtuous housekeeper Liu's heart unwilling. Because of this incident, Liu's cooking and housework were a little wilted, which made her husband ask strangely several times.

How did the husband know, it was all for a small bar of soap.

But Liu still wanted to try his luck.

On this day, after cooking the rice porridge for breakfast, before her husband and son finished eating, Liu hurried to Dongcheng Heng Street. After walking for two quarters of an hour, Liu arrived at the soap shop at the hour.

In front of the soap shop, there was already a long queue, at least sixty or seventy of them waiting. Hearing that the people next to him said that they could only buy soap by waiting in the queue, Liu also hurriedly lined up like others.

In the ranks, Ryu heard the others talking.

"At this time yesterday, the store didn't let others continue to queue, saying that it was sold out."

"I've heard people say that this soap is easy to use, and today is the second time I've been here, and I didn't buy it last time! The store didn't come out to speak today, could it be that there is still a stock? ”

"Hey, this soap is really in demand, I can't buy it. I'm afraid that when it's our turn next time, the store will say it's sold out again! ”

When Liu heard these discussions, he couldn't help but be a little nervous. Running all the way in the morning, you have to wait in the line, but don't let yourself be busy again.

As the team moved forward a little, Liu stared at a middle-aged man and a teenager who were busy in the soap store. Watching them sell out of the soap they had little by little, and watching them go into the back room from time to time to bring out more soap, Liu's heart became more and more nervous.

The others around him were still talking about it:

"Yo, there's a lot of goods today!"

"It's almost us, and there's still the goods!"

Finally, the long queue in front of me was over, and it was Liu's turn. Looking at the dozen or so pieces of soap for sale on the table in the store, Liu knew that she had succeeded this time, and she felt so excited that she wanted to cry.

The second uncle, Li Dao, accepted Liu's copper coin, and seeing Liu's excited expression, he said casually: "Good luck for the little lady!" It will be out of stock by this time yesterday. Today, the owner shipped 1,000 yuan, and the supply is sufficient, so there are goods until now! However, one person can still only buy two pieces! ”

Liu Shiqiang suppressed his excitement, paid for and got two large soaps of his own, and his mood was suddenly very good, and the depression of the past few days was swept away. Leaving the group with soap in hand, Ryu jumped twice on the ground excitedly.

Seeing that Liu was so excited, the people waiting next to him all teased.

"The little lady is so happy!"

"Congratulations to the little lady for buying soap! That's a big deal! ”

Being made fun of, Liu's face turned red. But looking at the soap in his arms, Liu felt that this trip was really worth it. Now, I can throw away the laundry stick like Sister-in-law Zhang and the others, and wash clothes easily by the well. From now on, I am no longer afraid of dirt on the collar and cuffs of dirty clothes.

Holding the soap, Liu walked happily to the house.

#####

Half a month later, Li Zhi gathered half of the goods for Cui Wending, and handed over half of the goods first, 25,000 pieces of soap stock, and transported them to the courtyard of Cui's house one by one. Cui Wending had seen enough of the shortage of this soap in Tianjin, and was worried that Li Zhi would not supply it in time. After receiving the goods, Cui Wending was relieved and immediately settled half of the payment -- and gave Li Zhi 21225 coins of silver.

Cui Wending's payment plus the store's profit in the past half a month is more than two hundred taels, and Li Zhi already has six hundred taels of silver in his hands. Compared with the predicament when he first crossed it, Li Zhi is now a well-deserved little rich man.

With the silver, the first thing Li Zhi had to do was to make a few new sets of clothes for his family of three and his relatives who were working in the workshop.

Of course, Li Zhi himself has to make new clothes. In the past, the Li family was so poor that Li Zhi was wearing a shabby cotton coat full of various patches. Wearing such clothes, when you go out to talk about business, others doubt your strength, and you get twice the result with half the effort. Now that he has money, Li Zhi wants to make a new set of jackets, as well as three sets of washed silk and satin, and three sets of underwear.

With a soap business, Li Zhi is enough to wear satin clothes.

Li Xing and his mother Zheng are also treated the same as themselves.

However, when he heard that Li Zhi wanted to make silk clothes for himself, Zheng looked reluctant and said: "Zhi'er, we just made a little money, let's save some money, and don't make my mother's clothes first!" ”

Li Zhi smiled and said to the Zheng family: "Mother, now we can earn thirty taels of silver a day, and we are still short of the money for these new sets of clothes?" ”

The Li family is now in charge of Li Zhi, and the money and property are kept and recorded by Li Zhi. Li Zhi had not settled accounts with his mother before, and at this time, Zheng was startled when he heard Li Zhi's words.

"Zhi'er, you're not miscalculated, are you? Can we earn thirty taels a day? If you want to say that ten taels are for the mother, you still believe it. ”

Li Zhi smiled: "Of course it's not wrong, mother, our store now sells a thousand pieces of soap every day, plus more than a thousand pieces of soap made for Cui Xianggong every day, of course, there will be a profit of thirty taels of silver!" ”

Zheng Shi was stunned, touched his heart and said, "Oh my God, I didn't think I could make so much money!" ”

Li Zhi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "So mother, don't worry, our family is now rich, and we have the capital to wear satin clothes." ”

Zheng Shi no longer argued, but said slowly: "Zhi'er, you are really good!" ”

The family of three made satin clothes, while the relatives of the helpers each made a new set of cotton jackets, plus three sets of green cloth jackets and three pairs of white cotton pants.

These relatives who came to help were too poor, and some were even poorer than Li Zhi half a month ago. Their clothes were in tatters, and some of them could not protect them from the cold. It has only been half a month since the start of work, and the monthly money has not been distributed, so they have no money to make new clothes.

Now that they have come to Li Zhi's house to do things and eat well, Li Zhi will also improve their clothes and help them make new clothes so that they can live a decent life. However, these relatives are still in the blue-collar class, and it is okay to wear cotton clothes for the time being.

After dinner that night, Li Zhi asked his relatives to stay in the courtyard. Three tailors were called from Tailor Street, and Li Zhi asked everyone to measure the size of their clothes. When everyone heard that Li Zhi was going to make new clothes for them, they were all elated and cooperated with the tailor to measure the size.

The leading tailor was a middle-aged man in his forties, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but say, "Strange! Unusual! Where did this come from? Do you still want to make padded jackets and new clothes? ”
