Chapter 16: Abduction of Girls
Zhou Jialin couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning in bed, seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Zhou Jialin made up his mind that he would never be looked down upon, and it was worth taking a risk to impress his father. As for whether Zhang Chu is a liar or not, he gave me the money, and I don't know who cheated whom.
After getting up, Zhou Jialin came directly to the inn where Zhang Chu lived, and expressed his willingness to cooperate with Zhang Chu. Zhang Chu took out the money and gave it to him as the money for the purchase, and then told him to go to Jiangnan not only to purchase cotton, but also to buy back a few machines for spinning and weaving, if possible, it is best to hire a few masters to make looms, and Zhang Chu will pay them double the wages.
Zhou Jialin took the money and left. The team member who entered the city with Zhang Chu asked him: "You are not afraid that he will take the money and run away." ”
"Who are we, we are Daming security guards, if he runs away, then the Zhou family will have to pay us how much silver." Zhang Chu said with a smile.
The team members are speechless, and the liars are still afraid of that.
After breakfast, I went straight to the center of the county, and the purpose of this trip was to "kidnap girls".
Yue Shaoquan opened a grocery store in the bustling section of the center of Yanchang County, although it was not as good as the big merchants in the north and south, but it also did a good job. In the early years, he was alone Zhang Luo, in recent years, Boss Yue has a powerful helper, that is, Yue Shaoquan's daughter Yue Yue, Yue Yue has followed her father to help in the store since she was a child, and she is very familiar with the doorway and bookkeeping methods. It is also well-known in Yanchang County.
Zhang Chu manages more and more materials in the mountains, and urgently needs talents who can manage bookkeeping, but this kind of people are already scarce, and they all have stable jobs. When the undercover agent who was doing business in the county reported the situation in the city to Zhang Chu, Yue Yue was mentioned when he introduced the expert in accounting. Zhang Chu was very interested when he heard it, on the one hand, Yue Yue's name has the same name as his colleagues in his previous life, on the other hand, in line with the principle that men and women are not tired of working together, having a female assistant is also the dream of the otaku Zhang Chu, so Zhang Chu thought that if he could do a trick of abducting a girl, would it add a lot of fun to the girl to live on the mountain, Zhang Chu's problem of dreaming was committed again. Of course, there are still serious things on this trip, Zhang Chu wants to meet Boss Yue to see if he can find a market for the honeycomb coal he made.
Walking into the Yuejia grocery store, there were no customers in the store because it was still early. The items in the shop are well organized and clean. , a little girl who is not tall is behind the counter, with long eyebrows and clear eyes, and she looks like she is in her teens. So Zhang Chu asked, "Little girl, is Boss Yue here?" Before the girl could reply, a little boy of seven or eight years old jumped out from behind the counter and shouted, "What a little girl, she is eighteen years old and has not yet married, she is an old girl." Are you here to propose? ”
Facing the bear child, Zhang Chu was speechless.
"I'm sorry, my brother talks nonsense all day long." The little girl came out from behind the counter, chased the little boy away, and asked, "What are you looking for my father?" ”
Zhang Chu found that it is true that people should not be called little girls, people still have capital, although everything is small, it is proportional, and even the curves are outlined according to aesthetic principles. Zhang Chu's old mistake was made again, and he didn't answer with his mouth open.
The little girl didn't hear the answer, and looked up to see Zhang Chu looking at herself in a daze, thinking of another pervert in her heart. But he still spoke, "You sit down first, and I'll go and ask my father to come out." ”
Zhang Chu finally came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Then there is Miss Lao." ”
After a while, Boss Yue came out of the back room. Zhang Chu saw that Boss Yue was in his forties, and he was obviously a shrewd person.
Boss Yue asked Zhang Chu to sit down in the store before saying, "I don't know what you're looking for?" As he spoke, he looked at the visitors. Seeing that Zhang Chu is in his twenties, his skin is fair, he does not look like a person who does manual work, and the clothes on his body are bright, he looks like a rich son, and he should not have much intersection with this kind of person.
Zhang Chu hurriedly replied respectfully: "I want to make a deal with the old man." ”
Boss Yue couldn't help but look Zhang Chu up and down again, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a businessman.
"I want to work with my uncle to sell coal here." Zhang Chu continued.
"I'm afraid this won't sell, right?" Boss Coal Yue knows it, but it is not easy to ignite this thing, and there is smoke and dust when it burns, so it is not liked by people.
At this time, Yue Yue came out to pour water for the two, Zhang Chu looked at her feet and her brain was stuck again, and she stopped talking.
Zhang Chu came to this world, and the accusation of the evil old society is to bind his feet in addition to starvation, no matter how beautiful the beauty is, with a pair of deformed feet, Zhang Chu can't feel the beauty. Although Yue Yue's feet are not big, they are in the normal range.
Boss Yue saw that the young man looked at his daughter and didn't speak, and secretly scolded the disciple. I was very displeased, so I said, "Childe is fine, I'm going to be busy." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Chu hurriedly said: "It's rude, I'm thinking about what the old man said just now, and I'm distracted for a while." Boss Yue thought to himself, this can also go back. I only heard the young man go on to say, "In Xiazhangchu, the people of Guanzhuang Town, outside the city, have been cultivating for generations, but in recent years, there has been drought and little rain, and the harvest has decreased. The family wants to use the money to trade, and I want to put some coal here for you to sell. Zhang Chu motioned for his fake guy to come in with a few pieces of honeycomb coal.
Boss Yue saw that this coal was really different, and Yue Yue next to him also approached to watch.
Seeing that the two of them were interested, Zhang Chu continued: "This kind of coal is clean and convenient to burn, and you don't need Boss Yue to invest a penny, you just need to sell it on your behalf and then share it according to how much you sell." ”
Seeing that he didn't need to invest his own money, Boss Yue said, "Okay, just put a few pieces outside to see if anyone wants to buy them." ”
Zhang Chu said: "I still have some sales ideas. ”
"You tell Xiao Yue, he is watching in the store every day, and I have to leave beforehand." Boss Yue has lost interest in this matter, things are not easy to sell, this young man is a rookie in business at first glance, and he has nothing to talk about. The things are there, and they can't be sold, so just let him take them away. After Boss Yue finished speaking, he got up and left.
As soon as Zhang Chu saw that the opportunity had come, he immediately summoned Yue Yue to talk about his sales methods. Zhang Chu's eyebrows fluttered for a while, and Yue Yue just listened quietly. The conclusion is that although the method is novel, it can be tried, Yue Yue thought. So he agreed to let Zhang Chu try it tomorrow. Next, the wolf grandmother played by Zhang Chu began to stretch out her claws to Little Red Riding Cycle.
"I've long heard that the girl is not only beautiful, but also very smart, and very proficient in bookkeeping." Zhang Chu used his trick of picking up girls, which he was not very successful in later generations.
"I don't dare to say that I am proficient, but I just use it often." Yue Yue is still confident in bookkeeping.
"I have a new method of bookkeeping, which we can use for our business this time, which is convenient and accurate, and this method is invented by me and is much better than the old method." In order to succeed in kidnapping the girl, Zhang Chu began a braggart show. He said that the double-entry accounting method of later generations was his own invention. Yue Yue didn't believe that he could invent any better bookkeeping method, but when Zhang Chu introduced it, Yue Yue's talent for bookkeeping felt that this was indeed a good way of bookkeeping, so he asked Zhang Chu to explain it carefully. Zhang Chu got the opportunity, and he not only talked about double-entry accounting, but also added half of the compliments to Yue Yue, and in the end, in order to show himself, even Arabic numerals became Zhang Chu's numbers. Yue Yue tried to write, and found that these strange symbols would indeed be much more convenient if they were used for calculation and accounting. couldn't help but look at Zhang Chu twice, this young man still has the ability to come up with these things that he didn't have before.
Zhang Chu was encouraged by his eyes and continued: "I didn't finish studying, and now I am doing business, all of which my family asked me to do, I really don't know what I want to do in the future." Girl, what are you going to do in the future? ”
"The girl's affairs are not up to me, and it's not suitable for showing up outside, it's good to be able to watch the store here." Yue Yue said worriedly.
"What does that girl like to do?" Zhang Chu climbed up the pole.
"I just want to be able to do business like my father, manage money, and the more the better. Put the skills I learned in managing accounts to the bigger picture. But this is impossible, a girl can't manage a lot of money. Yue Yue sighed and said.
"How is it impossible, men and women are inherently equal." Then the feminist ideology of later generations appeared, and Zhang Chu was a victim of feminist ideology back then, and he was bullied by female compatriots, so he was deeply impressed by feminist theory. After a long speech, Yue Yue was dumbfounded.
"How can a woman be like this, it is impossible for the husband's family to allow it." Yue Yue said that he was gone, and quickly lowered his head. Originally, Yue Yue ran a shop here, and there were some irrelevant people pointing fingers. And she is eighteen years old and has not yet married, her father always uses this to say that she has learned, and even her younger brother has learned, and from time to time he teases her.
"If I have 100,000 taels of silver, please manage it, will you go?" Zhang Chu asked.
Yue Yue heard that he was open, so he said, "You have to have 100,000 taels of silver first." ”
Zhang Chu thought that he really didn't have 100,000 taels of silver now, but he couldn't admit defeat: "You wait for me, I will soon have 100,000 taels of silver, and then I will marry ......, I will invite you, let you manage your wealth for me, and give full play to your talents." ”
What do you mean I am waiting for you, Yue Yue secretly blamed him in his heart for not choosing what to say, got up and said, "Don't forget to arrange for the sale of coal tomorrow." ”
Zhang Chu had no choice but to quit the store, thinking that an otaku is still an otaku, not even a pickled girl, and he still wants to abduct an ignorant girl, what a failure to be a man. Although frustrated, the work that should be done still has to be done, Zhang Chu went back to prepare for the sale of honeycomb coal tomorrow.
The next day, the front of the Yuejia grocery store was particularly lively, a team of old artists sang loudly there, attracting many onlookers, five coal-burning stoves were built with bricks next to it, the stove was in full swing, the kettle and the pot were placed on the stove respectively, the meat was still boiling in the pot, the aroma was scattered, and the water in the kettle was rising with white steam. According to Zhang Chu's script, the fake guys brought by Zhang Chu worked hard to publicize, loudly preaching that not only the old performance would be performed for ten days, but also that during this period, the coal would be bought and the stove grate and stove lid would be sent. A total of 100 sets will be delivered until they are finished, and if you buy more, you will also get iron pots and copper kettles. Someone demonstrated how to use a coal stove and how to burn three pieces of coal for a day. The lively performance was not in vain, and some people really bought honeycomb coal. Zhang Chu promised to install the stove for them.
Everything is going well, and Zhang Chu should go back. Over there, Zhou Jialin asked his father Zhou Tai to go to Jiangnan, Zhou Tai felt that it was better than fooling around with a group of fox friends and dogs, so he sent a few guys to follow, and Zhou Jialin went down to Jiangnan with Zhang Chu's purchase list and silver.
Zhang Chu knew that it was impossible to make much money selling honeycomb coal, but after Zhang Chu came to this world, he saw the living conditions of the poor, and always wanted to change something, and the use of coal should be regarded as a major improvement in the quality of life, and the Chinese should also live a warm and clean life.
100,000 taels of silver, if only I had 100,000 taels of silver, Zhang Chu couldn't help but regret his big mouth, if he said less, maybe he would have abducted the ignorant girl. Zhang Chu left people to sell honeycomb coal and rented houses in secluded places in the city to make honeycomb coal. Everything was arranged, and Zhang Chu said to the team members who followed him: "Let's go back to the mountain". Zhang Chu was also saying in his heart that no matter what method he used, he would get 100,000 taels of silver.
