Chapter 21 It's a door-to-door son-in-law again
"The first opinion, the budget of a total of twenty taels of silver is definitely not enough, with satin or silk, a single piece will cost seven or eight dollars, plus hangers, at least three pieces of sample clothes in the shop, and spare materials, your budget has to add some."
Chen Xin read the plan written by Liu Minyou, and began to put forward opinions, both of them used to participate in various review meetings, and they would not worry about the other party's heart when they put forward their opinions, they all had something to say.
Liu Minyou said: "It's a little less, but we now have a total of fifty taels of silver, and we have to ensure that the fur seals eat meat every day, if they use too much, I am worried that the food will not be enough." ”
Chen Xindao: "I'll solve this matter, and there is still a bead, find a time to pawn it." ”
"In the past few days, everyone wants to keep hard currency, and the pawn is probably not a good time, and the pawnshop will definitely lower the price."
"Yes, I'm not in a hurry, I can add it later, I asked Lao Cai about the pawnshop's tricks a few days ago, and I will talk to Zhang Dahui in detail before leaving, and let him do this."
Liu Min nodded a little and said: "This kid at the conference is clever, but he doesn't use it in the right place, and he has to be lazy every time he trains." ”
Chen Xinyan glanced at him: "It's not that you are soft-hearted, you see that Lu Donkey has been ruthless these days, and he can't hide, he may indeed not be suitable for being a nursing home, and if the business becomes bigger in the future, you can arrange for him to do other things." ”
Chen Xin used a brush to draw a horizontal line on the budget part and wrote forty taels on the side.
"The second opinion, since the main positioning is the female dependents of medium-sized families, the profits for the selling wife will be more, this group of female dependents is difficult to go out, only the selling wife can enter the house, if the less is given, they may find their own clothing store to do. Let them set their own prices, and we'll just ship them. ”
"That way the price will be messy."
"The customers are in the hands of the seller, and the initial stage of the seller is strong, and when we get bigger, we will change the pricing method."
Liu Min thought about it and agreed.
"The third opinion, the clothing logo you designed is too complicated, and the tag may be removed by the seller, I want to embroider the logo directly on the back of the collar, and paint it directly on the hanger, so it can't be too complicated, so that those ladies look at it every day, and slowly build up the brand."
"This is okay, I'll change it, if it's simple, just write a 'orchid' character with a five-petal flower pattern."
"The fourth opinion, there is no part of the green house in your marketing strategy, prostitutes are the pioneers of fashion in this era, one of the main forces of consumption, and the best advertising, I heard that most of these women's clothes are sent by prostitutes, so it should be the prostitutes who pay, we can find some big green buildings, send one to the top brand first, other women must compare, but prostitutes will not come to us to buy, we put two samples and clothing samples in each big green building, find someone to squat, let the prostitutes pay for these women to order. These clients are generous in brothels and will certainly go to other brothels to promote them indirectly. ”
"Does the old bustard give a commission?"
"Here, you can think about the proportion."
Liu Minyou nodded as he listened, sketched on the page, and wrote down the changes. The two talked about writing and writing, and after half an hour of hard work, Chen Xin checked it again, and said to Liu Minyou: "There has been a war recently, you look at the situation, if people are panicking, they will open later." ”
"Okay, let's take a look at the situation in the next few days, and then ask Zhou Laifu to come over first to make two samples and prepare."
Chen Xin agreed, and after he was busy here, he went to the courtyard to call Zhang Dahui and told him some tricks of the pawnshop, which he also heard from Lao Cai, and asked Zhang Dahui to ask a few more and consider how to be more cost-effective.
Zhang Dahui scratched his head and went back to the house, Chen Xin hoped to let these followers think more and exercise more, so that they could be independent in a certain aspect faster.
At this time, there was a commotion outside the courtyard, Chen Xin opened the door and came to the street, the shoppers on the street had disappeared, and the neighbors of Erdao Street rushed outside with grain bags in twos and threes, some people kept urging, and a few of them were in a hurry, and they got up again immediately after falling, and they didn't dare to stay, looking nervous.
Chen Xin saw Jiang Wang's wife, Jiang Wang, taking a grain bag and coming back. He asked in the past: "Sister-in-law of the Jiang family, can you buy it?" ”
Jiang Wang's sweat was on his head, and he patted the grain bag: "But it's a shame that you said it early, rushed to the Dong family's grain store, and worked hard to buy forty catties." ”
"Has the price changed?"
"One stone costs one or two or five dollars, and I heard the store say that it will rise tomorrow."
In the blink of an eye, it rose by four dollars with one stone, this troubled world is really profitable, Chen Xin calculated and asked her: "Your family of four can't eat for long if you have forty catties." ”
Jiang Wangshi said helplessly: "Who said no, then Jiang Wang went to Tianfei Palace to sell incense today, and I can only take forty catties alone, and if I buy more, people will not sell it, only hope that the official army will drive away the tartars as soon as possible." ”
Chen Xin said: "It will definitely rise sharply in the future, if it is not enough, don't buy high-priced grain, come to us to borrow some, and return it when the price is low." ”
After Jiang Wang's hurriedly thanked him, he hurriedly went back to the house to put the grain away, Liu Minyou and others also came out at this time, looking at the panicked scene on the street, and sighed in his heart, this is still a battle far away outside the pass, although the straight line distance is not far, but after all, there is a Shanhaiguan screen in the middle, if you really come to the city of Tianjin, I don't know what kind of chaos will become.
Next to Chen Xin suddenly pulled Liu Minyou's sleeves, put his mouth to the north, Liu Minyou turned his head to look, Shen Lou's wife Shen Li also took a bag, and hurriedly ran to Dongmen Street in a hurry, when he passed in front of a few people, he saw Liu Minyou's presence, his face was red, he lowered his head and walked quickly, since that day after the trouble, she was rarely seen coming out, looking more haggard, and her clothes were more dirty.
Chen Xin whispered to Liu Minyou: "Why did she see you blushing?" ”
"How do I know?"
"I know why."
Liu Min said: "You don't need to say it, anyway, you want to get me into a relationship with her, I know it if you don't say it." ”
Chen Xin looked at him with a wicked smile: "You see that you have the heart of a villain again, the reason I said is that she took a bowl from you that day and didn't return it, and she naturally blushed when she saw you." ”
Liu Minyou: "......"
In the afternoon, Lu Donkey was not there, Chen Xin supervised the training of the three people, and after buying the yard, the sea dog and others trained twice a day, more than 20 days, the action was neat and uniform, and there was a bit of rectification, these days Lu Donkey took them to practice simple stick techniques, that is, straight splitting and straight stabbing two movements, because Chen Xin always required to be in a queue state, sweeping can not be used, looking at their simple and powerful movements, Chen Xin is still very satisfied with Lu Chuanzong's training results.
There was a lot of noise outside, and it didn't stop until it was almost dinner. When Lu You got off work and came to Chen Xin, he complained dejectedly that he had been going to work and had not bought food, Chen Xin generously lent him forty catties of grain, Lu You thanked him and accepted it, Chen Xin carried twenty catties of grain on his back, and the two went to Lao Cai's house to visit.
Cai Shen raised his face and vomited white, but his spirit was okay, and he quietly gave Chen Xin a smug look, Lao Cai was not good, he was in a state of malaise, Lao Cai's two wives estimated that the amount of food was small, and it looked better, and the wife cried and complained to the two that she had a good look when she bought meat, but somehow, the whole family was poisoned by food after eating. Chen Xin pretended to comfort them, and Lu You sent food, poor Lao Cai's family was still grateful to Chen Xin, the two sat for a while, said goodbye to Lao Cai's family and returned to Jingdongfang.
--------------------------------------------------------
After a night, Chen Xintian called Hai Gouzi and others before dawn, and trained in the courtyard again, and the three followers were more enthusiastic about training since they heard about the invasion of Jiannu. Not long after the morning bell rang, Lu Donkey came back, his face was red and his spirits were high, Chen Xin quietly asked him, "How much silver did you use last night?" ”
"One tael and five dollars, the first card of the dog day costs five taels, and I am not willing to give up."
Chen Xin smiled: "When you come back, the silver is enough, you can try the top card, but you still have to keep enough for your family first." ”
Lu Donkey nodded and said, "What Brother Chen said is that if it weren't too far from home, these taels of silver would have to be brought back, enough for them to eat for a long time." ”
Chen Xin handed over the training to Lu Donkey, and discussed the clothing store with Liu Minyou, and then packed up some clothes, and it was already halfway through the morning.
According to the owner's arrangement, he will go to sea tomorrow, and today is the last day of staying in Tianjin, he suddenly remembered that inexplicable date, his heart moved, and he went out to the Temple of Literature. After entering the wall, I came to the gate of Dacheng Hall. Looking left and right at the door, I saw that there were still a few people in the hall, and I didn't see Miss Zhao, if Confucius knew that someone used Dacheng Hall as a dating place, I am afraid that he would come back to beat people.
"Mrs. Zhang, you go for a walk by yourself, don't wait for me, I want to worship Sage Kong, worship for a long time."
At this moment, Miss Zhao's voice came from outside, Chen Xin was still weak after all, and hurriedly hid in the palace gate, not daring to let Zhang Po see it.
"Miss, Madame said that I will not leave Miss, Miss has always come to the Temple of Literature these days, Madame is still complaining about me, I ......"
"I know, I'll pray for my father's blessing, if there are too many people, it won't work, you will wait for me at the door."
Miss Zhao's tone was firm, and she picked up some new theories, but Mrs. Zhang didn't understand, so she had to agree.
After waiting for a while, the footsteps sounded, Miss Zhao's figure appeared at the door, she was wearing a white bime today, and she wore a colorful pleated skirt underneath, and the pleats were staggered and dyed with five different colors.
Chen Xin hurriedly shook his hand and pointed out the door, Miss Zhao hurriedly covered her mouth, walked to the corner of the door, and reached the position where Zhang Po couldn't see, her voice was minimized, and she complained to Chen Xin: "You little family, why did you only come today, causing me to run back and forth for a few days." ”
Chen Xindao: "Why didn't you come, I waited for you here every night, I didn't sleep for a few days, and you didn't write that you wanted to come during the day." ”
Miss Zhao blinked, her face full of disbelief.
Chen Xin was worried that Mrs. Zhang would come to see after a long time, so she urged Miss Zhao to say, "How many mothers-in-law do you buy?" ”
"Who's going to buy a mother-in-law with you?"
"What's the matter with the young lady looking for Xiaosheng? I only sell my mother-in-law. ”
Miss Zhao couldn't help laughing, and her eyes turned into crooked crescents again: "I'm looking for you to buy an idea." ”
Chen Xin was stunned: "This thing is precious, I don't know if Miss has enough silver." ”
"Phew, just give me a penny, if you don't sell it to me, I'll go to my mother to sue me, and say that you molested me that day."
When the big scoundrel met the little scoundrel, Chen Xin had no choice but to say, "What idea does the young lady want to buy?" Raiding houses or killing people and setting fires, I won't do anything else. ”
Miss Zhao's eyes rolled: "You are eccentric, help me think of a way, I don't want to get married." ”
It turned out that this little girl was working so hard to find herself for such a reason, her head quickly turned, and she said casually: "If you become a nun, you don't need to marry." ”
"What's so good about being a nun, I don't want to be the third aunt, you think otherwise."
Chen Xin had already thought about it in his head, took the opportunity to inquire about the family situation of the owner, and said to Miss Zhao at the moment: "If Miss wants to think of an idea, you must first tell Sù Zai, who wants you to marry, why do you refuse to marry, Xiaosheng is good to prescribe the right medicine." ”
"My mother and my father want me to marry, I don't want to marry, at home my mother and my father both love me and listen to me, and if you marry someone else's family, you have to listen to your in-laws, what's good."
"I'll just say that you haven't learned your female training well, and you listen to your parents at home, how can any parents listen to your reasoning."
At this time, another person finished worshipping and walked to the door, the two of them quickly stopped, pretending to worship the ten sages, and when the person left, Miss Zhao turned her head to look at the door, Mrs. Zhang didn't look there, and then whispered: "My father has two children, my brother hasn't come back for a long time, I'm at home, my mother and father love me, of course they listen to me." ”
Chen Xindao: "In this way, the owner is only you and your brother, so if you get married, who will serve them in the future?" ”
"Who said no, it turned out that my mother was going to find me a son-in-law, and recently, somehow, I was going to find a matchmaker to tell me about my mother-in-law's family."
Chen Xin was a door-to-door son-in-law in his previous life, his wife is the daughter of the company's largest director, although the position is soaring, but at home, his wife is always a strong party, how much to look at the face, it can be said that there are pros and cons, and the feeling is quite deep, hearing this, looking up at the woman in front of him, Miss Zhao is pretending to worship the ten sages, Chen Xin looked at the past from the side, and the silhouette of the little girl's side face was as beautiful as a landscape. He secretly praised in his heart, much more beautiful than his original wife.
He thought about the wording for a while, and said tentatively: "Then it's not that you don't want to marry, but you don't want to marry someone else's family, for fear that your in-laws will treat you badly." ”
Miss Zhao blushed, nodded again, and said, "Exactly." My mother had been saying that she was going to find me a son-in-law, but in the past few days, she suddenly said that she was going to find me a son-in-law. ”
Chen Xin listened to it and guessed that the proprietress had reached some agreement with the owner, or that Miss Zhao was indeed old and did not dare to delay any longer. This was originally an opportunity for him, but he was still hesitant about his son-in-law, and finally had a new life, and if he returned to his original state, it didn't seem to be worth it.
He couldn't think about it for a while, so he used a dragger: "I'll go back and study relevant policies and regulations for this question, and I'll give you an answer within 30 working days." ”
"Weekdays? No, my mother is urging me urgently, and when my father comes back this time, it will be decided, how can I wait for you for 30 days, you have to find a way today, otherwise I will go to my mother to sue you. ”
Chen Xin was scratched by this little woman, and he was rarely coerced, but he couldn't get this idea out for a while, so he had to beg for mercy: "Miss, you are embarrassed for me, how can I think of it for a while, if you really don't want to marry, you have to rely on your mother, you have to figure out why she doesn't insist on finding you a son-in-law, you know the reason to think about it, isn't it?" ”
"No, you have to figure it out today, you think I don't know, you have to go out with my father, and when I leave tomorrow, where will I find you."
Chen Xin began to regret coming to this meeting today, and now he didn't dare to leave, in case this chick was ruthless and really went to sue herself, the planning for this period of time would be over, thinking of this, I had to use my brain and think about it seriously.
"You can pretend to commit suicide and resolutely refuse to marry."
"No, in that case, my mother will definitely find a lot of maids and wives to watch me in the future, and I won't even be able to get out of the door."
"Then you said that you are devoted to the Buddha and want to be a female layman."
"Female laymen also want to marry."
"This, then you say that you are still young......"
"I'm not young, I'm seventeen."
Chen Xin secretly glanced at her chest and muttered, "Who said it's not small...... Forget it, then you say you like women. ”
Miss Zhao's eyes widened: "I don't have that kind of handkerchief, don't talk nonsense." ”
"And you like men?"
Miss Zhao's face flushed, and there was another person next to her, so she couldn't help but not hit Chen Xin. I only heard Chen Xin say again: "That's all I have for my idea." ”
"No, if you don't think about it, I'll call Zhang Po in now and say that you are molesting me."
Chen Xin was desperate, so he had to say: "Anyway, I only have one last idea, and if this idea doesn't work, you just call the bull head and horse noodles in, and there will be no more." ”
Miss Zhao looked at Chen Xin seriously for a while, and finally nodded: "Then you can say it quickly." ”
"The last way, since your mother once planned to find a son-in-law, it means that she must have some reason, but it is not easy to find, so she changed to find her mother-in-law, so you tell your mother that you have a sweetheart and can be a son-in-law."
After listening to this, Miss Zhao said, "Just such an idea? If it's that easy to find, it's not too long to find it. This doesn't count. ”
Chen Xin had no choice but to say: "I'll tell Miss about a personal choice, but you are not allowed to get angry when you hear it." ”
"Okay, you say it quickly"
"Really not angry?"
"Really."
"You forced me."
"Say it quickly."
"Cai Shenju!"
"I don't want it, he's not as old as me."
"Miss, you see, Shopkeeper Cai has followed the owner for so many years, and he knows the roots, although Cai Shenju is a little bit, he has the calm style of his father, and Xiao Cai is begging for a living under your father, how dare he bully you."
Miss Zhao thought about it, shook her head again, and said: "No, my mother will definitely not agree, how can Lao Cai's family background be compared with my family, Cai Shenju can't even read words, and I don't want to, unless he is a scholar." ”
Speaking of this, Miss Zhao suddenly stared at Chen Xin, her eyes were weird, Chen Xinxin screamed badly, and sure enough, she said, "I heard that you have been in Xiucai?" ”
Chen Xin quickly denied it: "That was many years ago, and I don't recognize any other words now except for settling accounts." ”
"Humph!"
Miss Zhao looked at him carefully, Chen Xinren was still very handsome and looked very pleasing to the eye, otherwise he would not have been selected by the director's daughter. Because her parents have walked across the sea, her family style is different from that of ordinary families, but after all, she is still embarrassed to say that she wants to take Chen Xin as a candidate, but she has a plan in her heart, she turned her back to Chen Xin, and thought for a while.
Miss Zhao lowered her head and thought, her face slowly turned red, and she didn't dare to talk to Chen Xin anymore, just as Zhang Po was calling outside, and hurriedly walked out, leaving Chen Xin alone.
Chen Xin saw her go, and was worried, when he was not a son-in-law, he hadn't thought about it yet, there must be benefits, and he could get a good starting point in this era, it is estimated that the income of this owner must be a lot, I heard that there is also a big son, in ancient times, the eldest son generally inherited the family property, and I didn't hear that the son-in-law accounted for the majority, but since there is an eldest son, why does the lady want to recruit a son-in-law? Before these questions were clarified, he didn't dare to make a rash decision.
In the end, there was no conclusion, shook his head and sighed: "Could it be that I am really the life of a son-in-law?" ”
