Chapter Forty-Nine: Opening of the Chamber
Regarding the people on the mountain, in the end, the two people couldn't tell Wei Rui, but Jia Zhenzhen finally relented and agreed with Wei Rui's idea.
Although she was very suspicious of this matter, Wei Rui didn't pay attention to it at all, and the construction team soon arrived at home, and in about a month, Wei Rui's yard was completely new.
For this reason, many people from the village came to visit, and even many people from neighboring villages also came to join in the fun.
It's not opened yet, just renovating the house can attract so many people, Wei Rui feels that she has made the right decision.
Seeing that everyone came to join in the fun, she was not idle, and handed out the leaflets that had been rubbed and printed to everyone present, this kind of thing everyone thought was novel, no one refused, everyone took it and looked at it carefully.
On the day of the actual opening, the village was as lively as a rally, with firecrackers and trumpets being used.
Wei Rui, who had worked hard for dozens of days, finally breathed a sigh of relief, his flyer and the previous "county order advertisement" seemed to be very useful, coupled with the lively mood of everyone in the village, the opening day was quite successful.
Because of the rule that 10 people are free before the opening day, people from all over the world rushed to hear the news, so the business on the first day was simply good.
It's just that when Wei Rui looked at the records at night, most of them were people from nearby villages, and many of them were old bachelors who had not been able to marry a wife for many years. These people who have no self-knowledge give her a bit of a headache.
And, it gave her more than that, because the business was quite good, resulting in a serious shortage of manpower, although she found Da Niu and Cai's sister-in-law to help, but she was still a little in a hurry, and many things were wrong.
On the second day, Wei Rui decided to find two clerks who would be responsible for receiving customers and recording their requests.
After the recruitment news was sent, there were many people who came to apply, but most of them had never done it, and many of them couldn't write even words and asked to be recorders.
Wei Rui finally felt the difficulty of starting a business at this time.
Fortunately, Jia Zhenzhen knew his identity as a collaborator quite thoroughly, and helped her find two people. One is called Miaozhu, who is the maid in his house, with clever hands and feet, witty words, the most suitable for dealing with people, and it is most suitable for her to receive guests. The other is called Li Jin, who he has cultivated as a bookkeeper, and there is no problem in being a recorder, and he can also be managed if there is a problem in the account.
Is this Mr. bookkeeper, Wei Rui always felt that it was Jia Zhenzhen's eyeliner inserted, so as not to swallow his dividends, Wei Rui thought.
But thinking about it, the ability of the two people is extraordinary, after the two of them came, it was obvious that the process of the store was much more formal, Wei Rui was no longer in a hurry, and even took the time to eat melon seeds to listen to the complaints of those old people.
The old people come here basically to say goodbye to their daughters, and some of them are too old to get married, so they are in a hurry. There are also some who are too high-eyed and delay their own girls before coming.
After opening for a month, everything has entered a similar formal process, and when Wei Rui made a summary, she found that they had facilitated seven marriages in just one month.
This is good, after all, it is just the beginning, and in this era, most girls don't go out by themselves, and some parents also feel that it will be embarrassing to come here, so many people basically can't come here.
So the conditions are quite bad.
It can be said that at the beginning, this head did not open badly.
It happened to be almost winter, Sister-in-law Cai and Da Niu had nothing to do, so they simply came here to work, Wei Rui gave them wages, they set up tables and chairs on weekdays, poured tea, and occasionally said a word or two to customers.
Sister-in-law Cai's whole person has changed, she is no longer as cringe as before, she has learned to joke, and occasionally plays cards with Wei Rui and them, and the whole person is a lot more energetic.
Cai's sister-in-law's child Xiaobao is the lucky star in the store, the whole person is round and cute, and many customers have to hug him after they come, so as to touch his joy, so that he can get married and have a baby as soon as possible.
Everything was on the right track, and Wei Ying also followed Wei Rui to help, and Wei Rui helped him hire a gentleman to teach him to read and keep accounts. At first, it was Wei Rui who kept the accounts, and then slowly Wei Ying himself did it.
After that, Wei Rui was responsible for after-sales consultation, asking herself what was not good here, which was liked by everyone. Basically, the kind of shop before, after becoming a parent, it has nothing to do with the store, but here there is even a question about life after marriage. This made these people feel as if they were being taken seriously, so it spread to the county, and soon the store spread to the county seat.
Of course, the advertising in the county town also contributed to it.
As more and more people came here, Wei Rui gradually discovered the singleness of the packages here, so she decided to have a few more packages, such as "Riverside Unexpected Meeting Group", "Mutual Letter Group" and so on.
With the continuous attempts, Wei Rui felt that it was only a matter of time before her business became bigger.
Jia Zhenzhen came twice, and each time he felt quite satisfied, Wei Changan came with Liu Qing'er once, and was forced to press his handprint on Wei Rui's signboard to help Wei Rui advertise.
It's just Jingxing, but he never came again.
Wei Rui once asked Wei Changan about Jingxing, but Wei Changan kept silent and refused to tell the truth. Wei Rui felt a little embarrassed, so she never asked, but she didn't know why, she always remembered Jingxing.
Probably because the osmanthus balm he left behind smelled too good.
Speaking of which, Wei Rui also felt strange, in the days when his brother went to Dawan, the two of them were basically together, and Jing Xing didn't have much time to move because of his injury, this osmanthus balm, I don't know when he made it.
This thing is definitely not carried with him, because the smell on his body has never been the fragrance of osmanthus, but the smell of aromatherapy, the kind that is light and can be smelled occasionally.
The fragrance of osmanthus has always been domineering, just like she only needs to apply a little on her wrist every day, then when it comes to opening a store, someone will inevitably praise her fragrance.
Many ladies with a little family background asked her for this spice, but she had to awkwardly refuse, and finally made the people unhappy, so she didn't apply it much later, and only applied a little at night and then fell asleep with this smell.
It was at this time that she met Aunt Ying.
Wei Rui remembers very well that it was the day when the store opened for three months, and the store was already quite famous, of course, most of them were ordinary people, and few officials and big families came here.
At first, Wei Rui thought it was because it was too far away, but later learned that there was another reason.
But she didn't care about it at the time, and Aunt Ying's arrival shocked everyone in the store. Because, there has never been a girl who is single to find her own relatives.
It was still a rainy day, and Aunt Ying came in the rain, she didn't even hold an umbrella, and when she entered the door, she was drenched. At that time, Wei Rui was sitting on the table at the door taking a nap and taking a lunch break, and was suddenly awakened by the sound of footsteps.
Wei Rui was really taken aback, she thought something had happened, who knew that this girl was here to tell her about matchmaking.
She found someone to help her find a dry dress, because she had never seen the girl's family tell her to be a matchmaker, so a group of people gathered around, as if they had seen something strange, to see what the girl was doing.
Aunt Ying was very timid, and she was too scared to speak when there were many people, so Wei Rui had to let everyone go and talk to her herself.
When learning about the relevant information, Wei Rui learned that Aunt Ying was only seventeen years old this year, and the reason for coming here was that her father was sick and couldn't come, so she had to come by herself.
When it came to the criteria for choosing a mate, Aunt Ying gave the simplest answer, she said that she only needed a dowry of one or two silver.
You must know that in Wei Rui's village, the lowest dowry is also three taels of silver, and Aunt Ying's dowry of two taels of silver shocked Wei Rui, and she even thought that Aunt Ying said such things because she didn't know about the market.
But Aunt Ying said that she didn't understand, but she just felt that she could only value the price, Wei Rui was unbelievable, and when she asked about other things, Aunt Ying refused to say it.
She hurried back and forth, and when she was leaving, she happened to meet Aunt Song's son at the door, Liu Zhengde.
This Liu Zhengde is an unserious gambler, who is spoiled by his mother and is not afraid of heaven and earth, and comes to Wei Rui to report here all day long, and asks every day if there is a suitable candidate for him.
What father and mother would be willing to marry their children to this kind of person, so there is no result.
So when he saw Aunt Ying at the door, Wei Rui suddenly trembled in his heart, and he had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, as soon as this person entered the door, he said that the one who just went out was good, could you introduce it to him, Wei Rui refused without thinking about it, how could she match that girl.
But this Liu Zhengde refused to give up, and asked all day long, which made Wei Rui annoyed.
It just so happened that Aunt Ying also came that day, and the two bumped into each other, Liu Zhengde simply didn't ask Wei Rui, and directly asked Aunt Ying and asked her if she was willing.
Aunt Ying glanced at Wei Rui, Wei Rui hurriedly shook her head, but Aunt Ying asked him, "Do you have a dowry of one or two pieces of silver?" ”
Wei Rui's eyes widened, she wanted to stop it but couldn't stop it at this time, she rushed out of the house, Liu Zhengde was already dancing with joy, "Of course, who can not have a tael of silver?" ”
After he finished speaking, he immediately said: "This way, I will take you to my mother, if she has no opinion, this matter will be done." ”
Ying Gu seemed to hesitate slightly, and at this time Wei Rui had already stood in front of the two of them, and she said to Liu Zhengde: "Zhengde, you are not suitable, I will pick a better one for you, can you?" ”
"No, I just like her, how good-looking she is!"
Wei Rui looked at Aunt Ying again, and Aunt Ying glanced at her and then said to Liu Zhengde, "Then go see your mother." ”
At that moment, Wei Rui's mouth moved for a long time, but he couldn't say a word.
