Chapter Twenty-Three: The First Encounter with Business

Hearing the sound, Shang Qianlan turned around and saw a person getting out of the carriage, looking very familiar.

"Shang girl, why did you come here?" The man walked up to her and stood still, and looked at Shang Liang twice, "This is your brother?" Where's your mom and dad? ”

Shang Qianlan then remembered who the person in front of her was, wasn't this the Chen family housekeeper she saw when she was just reborn? Aunt Sun said that his surname was Zhang.

"I'll go around the farm tool factory here." Shang Qianlan briefly explained her intentions, she was wary of Steward Zhang, although Steward Zhang didn't make things difficult for her last time, and even quickly cut through the mess and ended the family affair, but the heart of prevention is indispensable, not to mention that there is a small bun by her side.

Steward Zhang knew that this girl was guarding against him just by looking at Shang Qianlan's eyes and didn't break it, so he only smiled, "It just so happens that my master has a farm tool factory here, do you want to take a look?" ”

Shang Qianlan hesitated for a moment, "It's not the one in front, right?" ”

She didn't bother with those two people just now, but this didn't prevent her from holding grudges, if it was the Chen family's business, she didn't want to go.

Steward Zhang glanced at her eyes and shook his head, "No, my master's stall is in front." The stall I just took over a while ago is still under repair on the easternmost side of this road, and it will take a while for it to open, but I can lead you in. ”

He looked at Shang Liang, who had been staring at him, and added, "Take you inside." ”

Shang Qianlan didn't hesitate any longer, nodded her head and agreed, and asked Steward Zhang to get into the carriage and lead the way, and she led Shang Liang to follow her.

Seeing her like this, Steward Zhang didn't insist anymore, and after getting into the carriage, he told the groom to walk slowly, and from time to time he opened the curtain of the carriage to take a look at the sisters and brothers.

Unable to keep up with the carriage in the end, Steward Zhang waited at the door of the farm tool factory for a while before Shang Qianlan walked, and a thin layer of sweat was already on her forehead.

"What is this?" Steward Zhang was very curious about the things in Shang Qianlan's arms, since he saw Shang Qianlan, that thing has been held by Shang Qianlan, looking at Shang Qianlan's struggling appearance, the things under her clothes are not light.

Shang Qianlan first glanced at the farm tool factory behind him, and made sure that what he just said was true, before he smiled, "Let's go in first, you will know later." ”

Entering the gate of the farm tool factory, many workers looked at Shang Qianlan, why did Steward Zhang carry two dolls behind him?

Steward Zhang took the two sisters and brothers to the backyard of the farm tool factory, and motioned for Shang Qianlan to put the things on the stone table, "Now can you tell me what is in here?" ”

He didn't expect much from what Shang Qianlan brought, he thought that Shang Qianlan was clever, but no matter how clever she was, Shang Qianlan was also a rural girl who couldn't read big words. Today, the master asked him to come over to take a look at the situation of the farm tool factory, which is an eye-catching matter, and listening to Shang Qianlan will not delay time.

"Don't worry, what are you going to sell here in the future?" Shang Qianlan pulled Shang Liang to sit on the stone bench and asked seriously.

The Chen family's farm tool factory is not small, she doesn't know the situation in the county, and it is easier to cooperate with the Chen family than to cooperate with someone who has not met once, at least Steward Zhang treats her warmly, and some things are easy to say.

This asked Steward Zhang, "The farm tool factory naturally sells farm tools, what else can it sell?" ”

"That's what other farm tool factories sell, what do you sell?" Shang Qianlan held her chin with one hand, her face was embarrassed, "Then I'm afraid Uncle Zhang will have to persuade your master to change this place to something else as soon as possible, don't do this business." ”

Steward Zhang frowned, with a little displeasure on his face, "Why can't you?" ”

He only thought that Shang Qianlan was smart before, but now it seems that he is all smart, the master has been in business for so many years, and he has never changed business halfway, if the master is present, he will be driven out by designation.

"Uncle Zhang is more familiar with this place than me, how many companies make farm tools on this road?" Shang Qianlan said unhurriedly.

"In addition to us, there are three." Steward Zhang was patient and thought carefully for a while.

Shang Qianlan's hands clapped and then spread out, "That's right, there are already three that sell the same thing, if you sell the same thing as them, how can you attract customers?" At a low price? What should I do if I force others to reduce their prices? ”

"And what's your idea?" Steward Zhang said, his eyes already moving to the table.

This girl said so much to make an introduction to the things on the table, and the more he understood, the more curious he became about this object.

Shang Qianlan no longer hung her appetite, and untied her torn clothes, revealing the true face of that thing.

"What is this?" Steward Zhang frowned lightly and walked around the stone table, his eyes always on the table.

Shang Qianlan took over with a smile, "This thing is called a cylinder car." Please also have someone bring you a basin of water, the bigger the better. ”

The cart on the table is different from the one she sells in Qinghe Village, and it is her carefully improved work. Compared to before, this one has a wider irrigation range and requires much less power to divert water, making it suitable for people with a lot of land at home.

After waiting for the basin to come, Shang Qianlan immersed the cylinder car into the basin according to the old method, and then slid the water in the basin with her hands, and with the rotation of the cylinder, a thin stream flowed down the wooden groove to the ground.

"Uncle Zhang, can you see clearly? If the drum car is fixed in the fast-flowing river, it will only take one day to irrigate more than a dozen acres of fertile land. Shang Qianlan looked at Steward Zhang's shocked face, and continued, "What I make is just a model, if you need it, I can give you the drawings, and you can make a big one to sell." ”

Steward Zhang is an old man who has been crawling around the mall with the Chen family for decades, first appeased Shang Qianlan and waited, and then found someone to go to the house to call the master.

It didn't take long for the old man of the Chen family to hurriedly walk in from the front yard and go straight to Steward Zhang, "Huaide, what are you talking about?" ”

Steward Zhang recounted what happened just now in front of the two sisters and brothers, and then pointed to Shang Qianlan, "The cylinder car is made by this girl, if the master wants to ask, ask her." ”

Only then did Master Chen notice that there were two little dolls next to him, he looked at the cart on the ground, and then at Shang Qianlan, "It's really a junior, and it's too young to be young." ”

In the face of praise, Shang Qianlan smiled silently, quietly waiting for Master Chen's words.

"Girl, have you shown this to other families?" Old Man Chen stepped into the topic and asked while sitting opposite Shang Qianlan.

Not only did he take a fancy to the cylinder car, he also wanted to be the only one in Tongzhong Township, and before that, he had to ask clearly.

Shang Qianlan shook her head, "I haven't seen it from other families, but I have sold it to the villagers in the village, and no one knows how to make the cylinder car except for me and my father." ”

Master Chen, who was still worried, breathed a sigh of relief, the thing was Shang Qianlan who came up with it, so it was understandable for her to sell a few, as long as the big households in the county hadn't seen it.

"Okay, that girl thinks five hundred taels, how about you sell me the cart?" After estimating the profit that the cylinder car could bring him, Master Chen opened his mouth to inquire about the price.

Shang Qianlan didn't expect him to be so happy, and she hesitated for a while, five hundred taels of silver was not a decimal number, and she really didn't dare to put so much money on her body.

"Wrong? Then I'll give you an extra 10% of the car's dividends every month, is the girl willing? Master Chen mistakenly thought that Shang Qianlan was too little, so he added another one.

Silence or price increase? Shang Qianlan was a little crying and laughing.

"I'm willing, but Qianlan has a request, I'll take fifty taels first, and put the rest here for you, and I'll withdraw it when I need it." Shang Qianlan was very satisfied with Master Chen's offer, and then said, "I didn't bring the drawings with me this time, you wait for me for two days, and then I will send them to you in person." ”

Master Chen hesitated a little, but Steward Zhang on the side took the initiative to vouch for Shang Qianlan, so he agreed, asked Shang Qianlan to make a note, and ordered someone to withdraw fifty taels and hand it over to Shang Qianlan.

After the matter was done, Shang Qianlan only felt refreshed, and the pace of walking out of the farm tool factory with Shang Liang was much brisker.

"Sister, two days is so short, can you draw it?" Shang Liang, who watched the whole process, was a little worried.

Shang Qianlan smiled unhurriedly, "Of course your sister never says big things, of course she can do it." When my sister is done, I'll take Ryoko to study, okay? ”
