Chapter 124: The Shop
Chen Wen watched Zhang Alan slam shut the door of his house, swallowing his saliva, she shouldn't have provoked her, right?
Well, there shouldn't be.
Yes...... Shouldn't it be because he has been talking to Guan Rong that Zhang Alan thought that he was not going to relax, so he went back to the house angrily, right?
If that's the case, Chen Wen thought, after Guan Rong left, she would go and coax her again.
Zhang Alan is angry and consumes quickly, so he must be coaxed.
So Chen Wen continued to talk to Guan Rong.
"Miss Alain, is this?"
Chen Wen didn't care: "Children, occasionally a little tempered, it's normal." ”
Guan Rong couldn't help laughing. A little child in front of him, called a girl older than himself, a child?
It's so cute.
Chen Wen had been standing at the door with the cloth in his arms, his hands were about to be sore, and he said to Guan Rong, "Come into the house and sit down?" I invite you to drink star fruit wine. ”
"Star fruit wine, good!" Guan Rong happily followed her in.
Chen Wen secretly poured two glasses, one for Guan Rong and one for his grandmother to drink, then took them out, pretended not to know anything, and walked in front of his grandmother with confidence.
Then I saw the old one, sitting on a chair drinking water and resting.
Li Suniang grabbed Chen Wen's wrist, and Chen Wen was so frightened that he took a few steps away from her.
Li Suniang frowned: "What's wrong?" ”
Chen Wen said vaguely: "I couldn't hold the water cup steadily, and I almost fell off." ”
In fact, I am afraid that my grandmother will be able to smell the faint smell of wine in my mouth if I get closer, although I know that my grandmother may not be able to smell it, but I am not afraid of 10,000, just in case.
was discovered, but he was to be scolded.
Chen Wen told a clumsy lie, but fortunately, grandma believed it.
"What is that man here for?" Li Suniang gestured with her eyes to Guan Rong, who was looking around, and said to Chen Wen.
In fact, she is a little nonsensical about what Chen Wen is busy with now.
Why did this girl do so many things secretly behind her back? No wonder they're so busy.
"It's the shopkeeper of the town's first noodle shop, grandma, you know, the hairpin I made for you is beautiful, right?"
"Pretty." Pretty is beautiful, but she is reluctant to wear it, for fear that she will accidentally wear it.
"That hairpin can be sold for three taels in the city, you say, isn't this a business that makes money quickly?"
Li Suniang's eyes jumped. So expensive? Since he no longer accepted Chen Wen's money, and asked Chen Wen to save it by himself, it is no wonder that some time ago, Chen Wen's small cloth bag was swollen quickly, and it seemed that he had saved a lot of money.
"Or else...... Sold my one too? ”
Three taels of silver, you should be able to buy the string of meat that the young man brought in just now.
Chen Wen waved his hand and said helplessly: "People are doing big business, where can you see one or two, pick and search, grandma, don't ask, I have a sense of proportion." ”
"Okay, okay." Li Suniang also knew that she couldn't help much, so she could only taste good, and then let the little girl make up her own mind.
After getting along for so long, Li Suniang can also see through it, this girl has great ability, she can live anywhere, and she can't starve to death.
Chen Wen breathed a sigh of relief, sniffed, and a faint smell of wine came up.
It's good that grandma didn't smell it.
Brought the wine to Guan Rong, Guan Rong took a sip and liked it very much: "Homebrewed? "The wine is faint, and when you drink it, you can drink a taste of fruity sweetness and sourness, which is delicious.
Chen Wen raised his eyes lightly: "When you like to go back, I'll give you two altars." "Anyway, grandma won't let me drink it, I gave Yang Mu some of the brewed last time, and I can't finish drinking some left.
"Okay." You won't get drunk when you drink it, and the aftertaste is sweet and sour, and it's best to pick up female guests.
The two chatted about some things again, and chatted for a while before they got back on track.
"By the way, did Mr. Dai say what style he wanted?"
Guan Rong was stunned for a moment, and then slapped her head fiercely: "You said that my head almost forgot, something important." ”
After saying that, he turned around and got into the carriage.
After a while, he got out of the car, holding a stack of thick paper in his hand, and with a shake of his hand, the paper was spread out, and Chen Wen could see the painting inside at a glance.
She took the stack of thick papers, and there were several, all of them patterned.
Chen Wen saw it, and also sighed that Mr. Dai had put a lot of effort into driving out so many paintings for the sake of the child.
Guan Rong glanced at her, not interested.
"Scholars like to do something that they don't have, paint so much, and say that it's all up to the girl to put it together." Guan Rong doesn't like people who read very much, because she is tired of the sour smell in their bones: "The words are crepe, which makes people struggle to guess what he means." ”
Chen Wen agreed very much in his heart, and his face was calm.
After listening to Guan Rong's complaints, he spread out the drawings and pressed them tightly with a cloth.
"He said that he could just make two winter clothes for him, and his child would be born in the fall, so he should dress warmer."
Guan Rong took the money and took out a few taels of silver.
Chen Wen stretched out his fingers and counted, and said, "It's too much, right?" ”
"Mr. Dai said, I forgot to ask you how much it costs to make winter clothes, and he didn't buy the right ingredients, I want to bother you to buy it, if it's less, he will make up for it when the time comes, and it's all yours if it's more."
But Guan Rong looked at it, this silver is enough, eight taels, and it doesn't cost two taels to buy a little good cotton.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Mr. Dai wants to thank Chen Wen and give more.
Of course Chen Wen understands.
She thought that she had bought rabbit fur from the merchant before, which was enough to make a few clothes, so she would stuff rabbit fur with her grandmother's winter clothes.
So, she took the money in Guan Rong's hand and put it in her pocket.
"By the way, Mr. Dai said that when the child is full moon, he will invite you to the child's full moon banquet and ask you what you mean."
"I'm going to go to his child's full moon feast."
"I'll pass it on to him."
"Thank you, shopkeeper."
"What are you talking about, if you really want to thank me, make me more wrapped flowers, and ah, my girl has found several of them, just waiting for you to go to the town to teach."
Chen Wen was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Okay." ”
Guan Rong talked a lot, and the two of them were not cold, and finally Guan Rong drank the wine in the quilt and gave it to Chen Wen, Chen Wen took it, then looked at the cup, lowered his eyes and thought for a long time before he mustered up the courage to speak.
"I don't know, how much does it cost to rent a shop in town?"
Guan Rong pondered, thought for a while, frowned, and said: "It seems that the most infested, fifteen taels a month, the better ones, will have twenty, and if they are good, the price will have to be raised." ”
"Oh......"
"You want to open a shop in town?"
Chen Wen habitually scratched his nose: "I have this idea." ”
It was a few days ago, when she pressed the purse to fold, she suddenly came up with the idea, she has good craftsmanship, can make clothes, can embroider purses.
But not many people know about it, and what they make more is a small amount of money in the neighborhood, and if they open a storefront in the town, not to mention the people in the countryside who are going to the city to buy things regularly, even the people in the town will know.
Moreover, Chen Wen is confident in his craft.
After thinking about how much money she had in her purse, Chen Wen thought that when she and the old lady got the purse business done, she would open a ready-to-wear store in the town.
That's why I asked Guan Rong if the shops in the town were expensive.
Although, for the time being, she can't afford to rent, but it should be soon.
