Chapter 187: Opening a Shop
Now Yang Laohan sighs three times a day, goes out early and returns late every day, either in the vegetable field or in the field.
After learning that the eldest son's house and fields were rented to others, Yang Laohan also lost his heart, and there was no land to plant, so he simply went to the wasteland to grow vegetables by himself, and then went to the town to sell them, relying on his meager income to maintain the family's life.
Someone persuaded Yang Laohan that Yang Wangcai couldn't do it anymore, so he asked him to talk to Yang Wangtian about it, go to the eldest son's house to raise it, why bother so hard.
Now there are two sons in the countryside, and it is not for nothing that the old couple each follows a son to support the elderly, Yang Laohan can still move, and he can help do something when he goes to the eldest son's house, and he will not be looked down upon.
Otherwise, we will think of a way, we can't let Yang Wangcai fall and sink like this again.
But Yang Laohan refused, he still hoped that Yang Wangcai would wake up and work hard, after all, he was the youngest son who had hurt all his life.
As for finding a way, what can I think of, his family is just temporarily unable to get out, and they all blame the snobbish women outside, who have harmed his family like this, the child is still young, and if he is older, he will be sensible.
The only thing that made Yang Laohan feel unhappy was that Yang Wangxiang stirred up trouble at home, but he was clumsy, and he was a stepfather, so he would not easily deal with Yang Wangxiang.
The life of the Yang family was a mess, but the life of Li Xia was good.
Not long after the high school entrance examination, the primary school also had a holiday, and the summer vacation was longer than the winter vacation.
Li Xia didn't plan to let them learn anything, and make a living from it in the future, just hoping that they would learn a little more, whether it was singing and dancing, or English and mathematics, as long as they were interested.
The only requirement is to study hard after signing up for classes, not just for fun.
Li Nan, Li Yang and Tao Tao don't need Li Xia to worry about it, just Tao Ran, twisting and pinching, I don't want to learn, and I don't have any interest in that, if it weren't for Li Xia knowing, he wanted to concentrate on his small business, and didn't want to waste time on interest classes, so he really let him go.
Li Xia glanced at Tao Ran, "It doesn't matter what you study, you can pick one that interests you, and you have to apply for at least one." ”
The summer vacation is so long, really let Tao Ran out, let go of his heart, there will be no guarantee for the next semester's study, and other brothers and sisters are learning things, although he is happy, but it is not good to favor one over the other.
"Then sign up for an afternoon shift, it's not easy to get out of the stall in the afternoon anyway." After Tao Ran hesitated again and again, he signed up for a sanda class that started at three o'clock in the afternoon, but he had an overlap with Li Nan, and he was not afraid of not having a companion when he came to class.
Although it was decided, Tao Ran still felt a pity in his heart, he could actually go out to sell popsicles at noon, he could go out to sell popsicles, even if he didn't sell popsicles, he could also do handicrafts at home, which was not to make money.
But after looking at Li Xia, who was already talking to the teacher about registering for class, Tao Ran silently chose to be honest and obedient.
A few small ones in the family, except for Tao Tao, who is younger and needs a little more effort, the other three big ones can take care of themselves in life, and they usually go to class or study at home, and they basically don't need to worry about Li Xia.
A few small ones also got together to invest in Tao Ran to do business, no way, although Tao Ran now has more principal, but he wants to expand the small handicraft business, and he buys a batch of popsicles to sell, but it is still a little worse.
You must know that there are not many varieties of popsicles in the foam box, but you will lose a lot of customers.
At first, Tao Ran had a whim to make mung bean popsicles to sell, but he bought mung beans with great interest, boiled them into mung bean paste, added grain, and then iced them in the refrigerator.
"You haven't counted the cost of coal, labor, and electricity." Li Xia silently reminded him that the things he made must be good and sufficient, and there was no comparison outside.
If you want to make money, you must either dilute it with water, or increase the price, but the taste of mixed water is not as good as that of the outside, and there is no market for the price increase.
Tao Ran, "......"
Fortunately, there is no waste of making so many mung bean popsicles, and there are many people in the family, one per person, and they are quickly consumed.
In order to appease Tao Ran's injured heart, Li Xia and they still gave Tao Ran money at the market price, not to mention, the taste of their own cooking is really good, Tao Ran is careful, the mung beans are filtered twice in the process of boiling, and the sugar is also added, which is sandy and sweet.
But Tao Ran looked at the small tickets in his hand, and then thought about the money he spent to buy mung beans and sugar, and inexplicably wanted to cry.
In addition to the time of drawing and attending classes at home, Li Xia also spent more time in the factory after the summer vacation, although he did not participate in management, but sometimes Li Xia also needed to adjust the version and supervise the production.
Although there are two tanneries in the provincial capital, but now the tannery production style is single, mainly based on tanning, Li Xia their small processing factory is equivalent to no competition, because the products are excellent, the quality control is in place, it is no exaggeration to say, orders drift like snowflakes.
However, because Li Xia insisted on only sticking his own label, he also missed some orders.
As early as the beginning of the establishment of the factory, Li Xia insisted on registering the trademark, and Du Weimin was looking for someone to do it, although it dragged on for a while, but it was done quite smoothly.
Now the leather bags produced in the factory are all their own trademarks.
When Lixia arrived that day, Du Weimin also came over to rest, and said from the heart, don't look at him as a middle-level cadre in the leather factory, but he is really a little hot about the grand occasion of this small processing factory.
You must know that the factory gets piecework wages, and the wages of the best workers are more than ten yuan higher than him, which is on par with the wages of the front-line workers in their factories.
"Xia Xia is also there?" Every time Du Weimin saw Li Xia, he couldn't help but exclaim, this young girl is talented and courageous, he is really ashamed of his age.
Li Xia was finalizing a version, and only said hello to Du Weimin, and only sat down to talk to Du Weimin after he was done.
"Uncle Du, how is the conversation going at the store in the mall?" Li Xia washed her hands, walked to the yard, and took the watermelon handed over by Du Weimin.
Guo Shunshun mentioned to Li Xia before, the matter of the best leather goods, Li Xia has always been in mind, she has investigated the situation, every time they ship about ten days, the best leather goods will be new at the same time, it is certain that the other party is imitating their design.
Aunt Guo checked privately, and the workers in the factory did not steal the design to sell, and the biggest possibility is that Zhizhen bought off Lixia's customers and directly took samples to make patterns.
It is okay to sue, but due to the reality, Li Xia and they have not considered this at all, and it is only their time cost, money and energy that is wasted by hitting the stone with jade, and at this time, it is a good idea.
Li Xia is ready to go directly to the extreme, they have already had a meeting last time, Li Xia is ready to open a leather bag shop directly in the shopping mall, specializing in the mid-to-high-end route, and comprehensively suppressing the perfection.
It's still easy for their local shopping malls to settle in, and now shopping malls are not as standardized as later generations, and the requirements are so high, saying that it is a shopping mall, in fact, it is not much different from the market of later generations, and there are not even a few brands.
But Zhizhen Ke not only has a store in Jiang Province, knowing that the genuine version is in this city, but also openly selling it in local shopping malls, which shows how arrogant they are.
"It's been discussed, if you are free in the next two days, you will take the time to go over and have a look." Saying that, thinking of something, Du Weimin sighed, "It would be nice if we could find a company with strong capital to cooperate." ”
When the time comes, their stores will bloom everywhere, and they will compete with the Ultimate Champion, and there is no good design, depending on what they win.
Li Xia thought of Zhou's leather goods for the first time, but the one who came last time, to be honest, Li Xia's perception is not good, and he feels better when he comes out of a large company.
Of course, this is just one reason, and it will not become an obstacle, if Li Xia really wants to do something, just go to Zhou's with his work to talk to, talk about it if he can, and find other partners if he can't talk about it.
Li Xia's biggest concern is actually Chu An and Gu Yuchen's side, that is, she feels that they are honest with each other, but she has a lot to hide, and she feels that she can't go, and the last time she was in Beijing, Li Xia always couldn't take that step.
"Let's talk about corporate cooperation, let's open the store here." Lixia put the cluttered thoughts in her head behind.
There is still a considerable surplus from the previous investment, and the factory is already starting to make a profit, Aunt Guo and Guo Shunshun are very supportive of opening this directly-operated store, in Li Xia's words, this store will be their signature in the future.
It happened that Lixia was on summer vacation, and everything after the store was rented was handed over to her.
Back from the factory, Li Xia flipped through the borrowed high school textbooks, and sat under the big tree in the yard to ponder the new design, Li Yang had no classes in the afternoon, but she made an appointment with her classmates to go out to play, as soon as she got home, she came to Li Xia with red cheeks and asked Li Xia if she could buy her roller skates.
"I'm not good at skating, and I want to practice it at home first." Li Yang's eyes lit up.
Li Yang has always been a quiet character, usually playing with friends of the same age, most of them are jumping bands, the amount of exercise is very small, originally in the Children's Palace, Li Xia thought about reporting sports to Li Yang, but Li Yang didn't like it.
It's rare that she is interested in rollerblading, and Li Xia naturally has nothing to disagree.
But Li Xia didn't agree to buy shoes, she was worried that the children would learn to skate on the street and have an accident, so it would be better to go directly to the skating rink to practice, where the field is flat and there are protective gear to protect it.
Li Yang's purpose is to practice, and she doesn't have to buy shoes, she heard her sister say to take her to practice, only happy, Li Nan and Tao Ran were also very interested after hearing about it, they haven't been there yet, and they want to go along.
The roller skating rink is generally open at 10 o'clock in the morning, but this one near their home is opened by the nephew of Sister Ma next door.
The roller skating rink during the day and the night are completely two worlds, standing in the roller skating rink again, for Li Xia, it is also a matter of two lifetimes, in the previous life, when she was working in the factory, she was often invited to the roller skating rink by the little sisters to play.
At this time, the roller skating rink is very different from the high-end decoration of later generations, but it is closer to the appearance in Lixia's memory, the venue of more than 200 square meters, the field is surrounded by barbed wire, the railing is repaired, and the cement seats are repaired next to it, except for the empty field, there is only a slightly undulating runway.
"Sister, I learned a little bit and can walk in a straight line, I'll teach you." Li Yang changed into roller skates and walked into the arena tremblingly.
Tao Tao sat aside holding the small snack that Li Xia bought for her, "Come on, sister!" ”
Li Yang held on to the railing, and was about to let go of the move, when he felt a gust of wind around him, and it passed with a bang, and then when he turned his head, he looked at his sister, flying all over the field like the wind, not to mention the beautiful movements, and it would slip backwards!
"......" Li Nan and Tao Ran, who were holding on to the railing, were dumbfounded.
The boss who opened the door for them to get shoes hadn't left yet, and when he saw Li Xia's beautiful skills, he couldn't help but whistle, "Li Xia, you can, do you want to help me come to the hot field at night, you can play casually during the day, don't need a ticket." ”
But that's just what he said, Li Xia sisters and siblings are well-known good students in their streets, obedient and filial, with good grades, and the skating rink is still quite messy.
Sure enough, Li Xia waved his hand and politely declined his proposal.
It's not because of the chaos in the skating rink, after all, she was invited by the boss, and this identity is not messed up with her, Li Xia is busy, just come and skate occasionally to relax, this kind of thing is too wasteful of time for her.
The boss smiled, left the key to Li Xia, and went back to make up for sleep, his skating rink said that it was open at ten o'clock in the morning, but it never opened earlier than three o'clock in the afternoon, and the venue was basically all night at night.
"See, there is rubber in front of the shoes, which can be used for braking and emergency stops, don't be afraid when you want to fall, try to hit the ground with your butt." After a turn, Li Xia began to teach her younger siblings.
When Li Yang came, it was five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was also a crowded time, she didn't dare to enter the field to slide at all, she only dared to hold on to the railing and move slowly, and now there are only a few of them in the whole venue, and her courage has finally become a little bigger, not to mention that there is Li Xia by her side to protect her, which is no more reassuring.
Li Nan and Tao Ran were bold and had good balance, and after Li Xia explained them the main points, they tried to move on their own and soon learned to walk in a straight line.
The sister and sister slid for two hours, and seeing that Li Nan and Tao Ran simply sat on the ground and did not move, Li Xia proposed to go home.
Li Xia mainly taught Li Yang, Li Nan and Tao Ran both skated on their own, in Li Xia's words, the trick had already been told to them, and it would be if they fell.
"My ass was broken into eight pieces." Tao Ran rubbed his buttocks and screamed bitterly, and Li Nan nodded beside him.
"Sister, you slide again, let's go back." Although Li Yang is protected by Li Xia, he wants to learn how not to fall, but he doesn't fall as many as Li Nan, and he is not as miserable as them.
Performing for her younger brothers and sisters, Li Xia naturally did not refuse, although after a long time of strenuous exercise, her muscles are now a little unbearable, but she did not refuse.
Li Xia an acceleration, directly rushed to the wave slide, that is a more advanced slide, today Li Nan they didn't dare to go there, after galloping over, Li Xia slid in front of Li Yang, came to a sharp brake, after a few laps in place, he slid backwards two times.
After slowly stopping, not only the exclamations of Li Nan and the others sounded, but also the applause from outside.
