The weather is getting colder and colder, but Sun Chen's roasted sweet potato business is getting better and better.

Whether you are shopping or setting up a stall on the street, you will always feel warm when you eat a hot sweet potato in your hand.

The merchant Yang didn't wait for Lidong to come over to ask for the goods, and he asked for five hundred pairs at one time. The payment for the goods was paid in person, and five hundred pairs of gloves were two and a half silver, which made the second girl's eyes widen in shock.

He also brought seven or eight people, all of whom were merchants like him. The number of pairs is different for each person, but there are a thousand pairs in total. Under the peace of the merchant Yang, Sun Chen also gave them the same price as the merchant Yang.

"Uncle Yang, this is a pair that my sister made especially for you, you put it away." Originally, it was said that the price of the merchant Yang should be the lowest, but he didn't have any light, Sun Chen could only pick out a pair of less fancy gloves from the house and give it to him.

"Hehe, then I'll be cheeky and take it!" The merchant Yang was a little embarrassed, originally Sun Chen only gave him a discount for one person, so that he could use it cheaply for the brothers, but this kid suffered a big loss. Not only did he agree without changing his face, but he even generously gave himself gloves at this time.

"How much are you going to sell?" Sun Chen asked him.

"First try to sell a pair for ten cents, and finally sell the unpopular suit for eight cents." Merchant Yang didn't hide it from him.

Sun Chen nodded, about the same price as he had envisioned.

……

Sun Chen also brings dozens of pairs of gloves to the market every day. There is no need to advertise it deliberately, just hang it on the handlebar of the cart, and there will be people who come to buy sweet potatoes to ask, eight out of ten. Nine people will buy a pair. Because of the novelty and practicality, dozens of pairs of gloves are only enough for him to sell a day.

Sun Chen also sells a pair of ten cents, but this ten cents, but the profit of five cents belongs to Sun Chen. Originally, Sun Chen was going to calculate the general ledger and finally share the profits with Aunt Zhuzi, but Aunt Zhuzi resolutely disagreed, saying that she already had a handiwork of three cents per pair of gloves, and the money earned by selling it through Sun Chen would naturally belong to him.

In this way, Sun Chen's income suddenly increased several times every day. Sun Chen tasted the sweetness and worked more energetically.

It was also at this time that Sun Chen suddenly discovered that it was much easier to make money by finding the right thing to sell than he had gone up to the mountains to hunt before.

Although it is hard for the merchant Yang to walk the streets and alleys, this income will really not be low! Or do you want to change your career to be a merchant? Sun Chen shook his head and drove away the thought that appeared in his mind again.

Merchants, like other craftsmen, have their own sense of territory. The village where a merchant usually runs will only be so many over and over again.

Even when business is bad, they usually don't try their luck in someone else's 'territory'. If he trespasses, he will be despised by all his peers, who think he is unruly.

This is also what Sun Chen said when several merchants went to pick up the goods at home.

There is a merchant who usually runs to several villages that have a bad harvest today, so business has not been very good during this time, so he often secretly goes to other nearby villages that are not part of his 'territory' to sell things.

In the first few times, he was lucky, he didn't meet his peers, and he also had a lot of extra income. But his peers who 'fought for the deal' finally noticed it, and finally blocked him in his own 'territory'.

In the end, the merchant apologized in dismay, and gave up a village's business from several villages where his business was already cold as compensation.

Because of this, with the new source of income of gloves, all of them tacitly did not inform the man, and the man missed an opportunity to make money in vain.

Sun Chen thought, this is the so-called 'unspoken rules' of the industry!

As for the market in the town, Sun Chen asked them, and learned that these merchants would only regard the villages where it was inconvenient to buy and sell things as their home field, and no one would want to dominate the entire market without knowing it. It's just a little merchant, and there are some conventions and rules that just want to live a good life.

……

The glove business was the same as Sun Chen expected, and the more it came later, the more difficult it was to sell.

Some of the women who had bought it went home and studied it carefully, and they made something similar to sell it.

When it was time for the winter solstice, Sun Chen notified Aunt Zhuzi and asked them to stop their glove work, in case they would press all the goods at home and eventually not be able to sell.

Aunt Qingyun and her sister-in-law, as well as Fennel, Sun Chen also settled their wages, as for Erniu, Yanzi, and Aunt Zhuzi, Sun Chen planned to slow down a little longer.

Fennel was paid a tael of silver and was so excited that she cried with joy. However, she listened to Sun Chen's advice and only took 400 Wen back and handed it to Sun Yang's family.

In the end, the glove business can't hide from these people in the village, and everyone can see it when the merchants come to pick up the goods. Sun Yang finally knew that Fennel was helping Sun Chen work, but she endured it for the sake of wages, but instead urged Fennel to come over every day, make more gloves, and make more money. When she got paid and urged Fennel to come back to work, she learned that she was no longer employed, and she cursed angrily.

Fennel's marriage, she really didn't mention it, and I don't know if it was because she saw the use value of fennel, or because the eldest aunt didn't reply. However, Fennel herself is very satisfied, and she came to play with the second girl during this time, and there are more smiles on her face.

……

There have been two snowfalls, and today, since last night, there are far fewer people in the market than before.

However, Sun Chen's business is not bad, he shiveres with cold, and it can be warmer with hot roasted sweet potatoes.

After another business, Sun Chen put away the money bag and pressed the hat down, and then put his hand on the sweet potato stove to warm up.

"Boss, bring me two roasted sweet potatoes." The sound of laughter sounded, and Sun Chen turned his head to see that he was dressed tightly, like a big bear.

The big strong is very tall, strong and strong, and if you wear thicker, isn't it a big bear! Sun Chen thought of the nickname he gave him in his heart, and couldn't help but laugh again.

"Hey, why are you so happy to see me, just smirk, and can't even speak?" Da Zhuang gently slapped Sun Chen's shoulder with his hand, no way, Sun Chen's body was too weak, with a little more strength, Da Zhuang was afraid that he would be beaten by himself. "It's okay if you don't speak, why don't you take out a sweet potato for me to eat first!"

"Why did you remember to come and see me?" Sun Chen teased while handing him the sweet potato, "I thought you could only see your sister Qiu in your eyes now!" ”

"Look at what you said~" Da Zhuang was teased, and a rare blush appeared on his face, "You are a busy person now, and you can't find you if you don't come here." ”

Li Yuanqiu was the object of someone else's introduction to Da Zhuang some time ago, the two met on the day of Lidong, and they had a good impression of each other, and today was the day they agreed to meet again.

Sun Chen knew that the matter between the two of them seemed to be eight. Nine is not far from ten. If he wasn't very satisfied with this Li Yuanqiu, Da Zhuang wouldn't have agreed to meet for the second time. Miss Liu's matter, but how long has it been!
