was really hit by the crow's mouth of Yuegui, Xiaoyue Embroidery Workshop has lost money again and again, and now it can't even get the money to buy it, obviously it can't hold on.

Yuexiang Yuegui sat at the table and frowned, Bai Qianfan didn't have a sad look on his face, he counted the remaining embroidery neatly, and wrote it on the paper while ordering, "Eight pairs of embroidered socks, twelve handkerchiefs, five uppers, ten purses, and ten sachets......"

Yuexiang asked, "What are you ordering all this for?" Take it out and sell it cheaply? ”

"Of course not," Bai Qianfan said, "Although we can't sustain trading, we still have a reputation, and we will take over the work in the future, and these things can still be sold." ”

Yuegui was not angry, "At the beginning, I was holding a silver ticket in my hand, and my waist was as thick as a rich man, everything was good, and I did business like you, and it was strange if I didn't lose money, but now you said that you would come back to do it, and then you couldn't make any money." ”

"Sister, don't scold me, let's eat a piece of Changyizhi, the right is to pay the tuition," Bai Qianfan said with a smile: "I have good news for you." Someone has taken a fancy to our shop and is willing to rent it for business, what do the two sisters think? ”

Yuegui became alert when she heard this: "Who is it and what do you do?" The most important thing is to figure out the origin of the identity, we can't deal with everyone. ”

Yuexiang was worried about another thing, "I rented the shop, what do we live on, we can't count on those two rents, right?" ”

Yuegui said: "Exactly, in this kind of place, it would be good for a shop like ours to rent a tael of silver." ”

Bai Qianfan untied his purse from his waist and poured out the money inside, a few pieces of broken silver, and a few eldest sons, flashing under the lamp, "One or two dollars a month rent, people say that they don't rent for a long time, pay for two months first, if the business is good, they will continue to do it, if it is not good, they can't hold on here, naturally they have to move the place." ”

Laurel Yuexiang's eyes widened, "You didn't come back to discuss with us, so you agreed?" ”

Bai Qianfan scratched the back of his head embarrassedly: "I thought that you were a girl's family, and it was inconvenient to deal with foreign men, so I ...... it."

Yuegui was a little unhappy, "How can there be such a rent shop, people rent it on an annual basis, he rents it on a monthly basis, if he doesn't rent it after two months, we can't drink the northwest wind!" ”

"If the business is not good, you can't let the family drink the northwest wind!"

Laurel glared at her, "Who are you doing?" ”

"Sister, don't stare at it," Bai Qianfan was not afraid of her anyway, she was still smiling, "Compare your heart to your heart, we have made a loss-making transaction ourselves, and we also think about it for others, two months is two months, and there are two taels of silver in the account, I have thought about it, Sister Yuegui is good at embroidery, and she will specialize in embroidery in the future, Sister Yuexiang has done a good job of dim sum, make a few draws of dim sum every day, I am responsible for selling it, what do you think?" ”

Laurel Moonwood glanced at each other and smiled.

Yuegui said, "This method you said is not bad, there is no cost for embroidery, but the dim sum is still needed, I don't know if the rent is enough?" ”

"I've thought about this layer too, let's do it differently," Bai Qianfan licked his lips: "I remember that Sister Qihong used to make acacia cakes, chun egg cakes, artemisia baba, sugar and oil gourds, and in the summer she also made lotus leaf cakes, lotus seed cakes, corn cakes, chrysanthemum cakes, osmanthus cakes, sour jujube cakes in autumn, we can simmer sweet potatoes in winter, many things are wild, I will climb trees, it's no problem to get these, scarce things are expensive, let's not sell expensive, change the season to do, there must be business." ”

Her eyes lit up when she said it, and Yuexiang was also deeply encouraged, "I think this is a good idea, so let's do it, you don't need to make any books, a good deal with a lot of profits, and only people as smart as us Afan want to get it." ”

Bai Qianfan, who was wearing a high hat, was a little embarrassed, and rubbed the tip of his nose: "If I were smart, I wouldn't have made a loss-making deal." ”

In this way, Xiaoyue Embroidery Workshop became a shop selling grain and oil.

The shopkeeper of the grain and oil shop is surnamed Qian, and it just so happens that Bai Qianfan's name is also surnamed Qian, because of the same surname, it is a little kind, so the shopkeeper of Qian was very embarrassed to tell her that he originally rented another place as a residence, but it didn't come to pass, the family regretted it and didn't rent it to them, so I wanted to ask Bai Qianfan to rent a room to live in.

Bai Qianfan had to discuss this matter with Yue Gui Yuexiang, after all, there were two big girls living in the backyard, and she was afraid that it would be inconvenient.

Laurel Yuexiang saw that the money shopkeeper took his wife and daughter, like a decent person, so they all agreed, it is not easy to go out, it is good to be convenient, and then you can get a few more dollars of silver.

The grain and oil shop is open lively, and the business seems to be good.

Bai Qianfan walks the streets and alleys with a basket every day, selling seasonal snacks, the first two days are very light, and then she finds the trick to sell at the door of the house with children.

The child was led out, she gave a cake for free, the child still wanted to eat it, and the mother was embarrassed, so she had to pay for it, one to buy two, which was equivalent to giving one for nothing, taking advantage of the heart happy, the thing was delicious and not expensive, and then I saw that the little guy looked clear and sweet, and it was cooked when he came and went.

This kind of dim sum is not only liked by children, but also by elderly uncles and aunts, Bai Qianfan has always been a child who is not deceived in business, never takes half a advantage, sometimes it is not sold out, she also gives it away in vain, and gradually gets good popularity, and when it comes to the point, some people stand at the mouth of the alley and look around, looking forward to her to buy snacks.

In this way, the small business made a big reputation, a basket of dim sum was carried out, and the things were sold out without having to go through two alleys, and the ones who didn't buy them were quite depressed, and asked him to bring more out tomorrow.

Because it is a seasonal snack, Bai Qianfan is very concerned about the festival, seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival is coming, she ran to a far place to pick zongzi leaves, washed them and soaked them in water, and put them in a bamboo basket in the morning to sell them together, she sold them cheaper than the market, and as soon as she took them out at the entrance of the alley, a swarm of bees was robbed.

She sold out early, she was also happy, because she had time to pick the leaves of the dumplings, she also picked a lot of wormwood back, people here have the custom of tying wormwood on the door and window, she half sold and half gave away, and actually made a small profit.

The residents of the same town are getting more and more acquainted, everyone affectionately calls her "Afan", she often sells half and gives away, and everyone is embarrassed to always take advantage of her, so they also give her things, sometimes a handful of green vegetables, sometimes a few garlic and a few pieces of ginger, or a handful of bright green onions and a few red and bright peppers.

There are not only vegetarian dishes, but also meat, Jiangnan Town, water is abundant and fish is fat, and you can see hook fishing people everywhere, sometimes when you meet an acquaintance, you will give her one. When she went back to the butcher's house, she was given a piece of meat, and her eyes were so happy that she smiled. Another time, an old lady happened to have a nest of chicks at home, and gave her one, a small pom-pom that was tender and yellow, which reminded her of Xiao Huang, and she planned to feed it to lay eggs, and then the eggs lay chickens, and the chickens lay eggs...... She squinted her eyes and dreamed, and the more she thought about it, the more beautiful it became.

Bai Qianfan felt that the days were getting more and more hopeful, and in the sunset, she held her head high, carried the short-sold bamboo basket on her back, and strode on the path home.
