The unpleasant episode Xiaobai quickly forgot about it, and looked through it crookedly in the carriage holding a book of local chronicles.

Yang Chun was still unhappy in his heart, and finally couldn't help it, and asked Qu Xiaobai: "Sister-in-law, she speaks so ugly, why do you put up with her?" ”

Qu Xiaobai said idly: "Didn't I say it, when you go out, you have to talk less and eat more...... Hey, Yang Chun, I found that you care a lot about what that little girl says. Why, look at how good she looks? If that's the case, let's go back and my sister-in-law will help you chase it. ”

"What did my sister-in-law say!" Yang Chun's voice was suddenly raised, which frightened Qu Xiaobai and almost fell down without sitting still.

"You...... Why are you so excited? If you don't like it, you don't like it. At most, wouldn't we go back? The words of the stunning girl suddenly popped into her mind, "Can't you see it? It's because of what you said that he was angry, and if he was to say it, he probably wouldn't have such a big temperament. ”

Qu Xiaobai: No, this is impossible, this is absolutely impossible. Qu Xiaobai's first reaction was to shake his head in disbelief.

Yang Chun is an excellent and self-controlled teenager, who knows how to advance and retreat in the etiquette system, and she is very proud of him as his sister-in-law outside of the eight poles.

It was even more impossible for him to think about something without knowing that she was his sister-in-law.

Speaking of which, that good-looking girl is really hateful. has been provocative, not to mention, and still teased her and Yang Chun like this.

It's best not to let her meet again, otherwise, never let it go. Qu Xiaobai thought through gritted teeth.

In the evening, the carriage entered Dongshu County, Yang Chun found an inn on a street near the downtown area, settled the carriage, and the two entered the inn for a short rest.

Yang Chun is a scholar, rarely goes far away, this time he is driving in person, he is already too tired to work, and he enters the house and goes to bed crookedly.

Qu Xiaobai is not better than him, the injuries on his body are not good because of the hot weather and long-distance bumps, he went back to the house and asked for a basin of hot water, washed the dust on his body, and applied medicine to his injuries, and also lay crooked on the bed.

When entering Dongshu County, it can be seen that there is no tension in Nanping County.

Although it is a neighboring county, there is no haze of war here, and there are no soldiers forcibly arresting strong men on the streets, and there are endless shouts and young people in the streets.

It's a pleasure to watch.

Qu Xiaobai lay down for tea, and the shopkeeper knocked on the door outside, asking if he needed to prepare dinner, Qu Xiaobai replied that he didn't need it, and he would talk about it later.

What she wanted was to go out for a while, see what was delicious and fun on the streets of Dongshu County, and by the way, see what business opportunities there were.

Helplessly, in this era of underdeveloped information technology, if you want to know anything, you can only go to the field to investigate.

I have to go when I'm tired, it's only the second day, and the road ahead is still very long.

Qu Xiaobai lay down for a while, got up to tidy up, and knocked on Yang Chun's door. This time, she specially confirmed, so as not to make any oolong knock on the wrong door and enter the wrong room again.

Yang Chun got up and opened the door, with a tired face: "Sister-in-law." ”

"Are you hungry? Take you out to eat something delicious. ”

"Can I not go?"

"No, you can't."

"Okay."

"I'll go get some clothes samples, you can pack them up quickly."

Qu Xiaobai went to get the sample, and Yang Chun quickly cleaned it up, although he was a little tired, but he was a good boy with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, "If you are more energetic, it will be perfect." ”

Qu Xiaobai patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Yang Chun rolled her eyelids, this sister-in-law is copper-skinned and iron-clad, right? How can you not feel tired?

One mile ahead of the inn, there is a bustling commercial block, commonly known as the night market.

Qu Xiaobai communicated with Du Niang and learned about some of the cultural features of Dongshu County, as well as special products and so on.

Dongshu County's wine is famous in all directions. The wine here is brewed with the jade spring water of Shushan Mountain in the east, the entrance is fragrant and soft, and the stomach is mellow and clear, no matter how much you drink, it will not go up.

Qu Xiaobai muttered to Yang Chun: "Let's go shopping first, find a shop later, make a few pots of good wine, and bring it back to the inn to drink, how about it?" ”

Yang Chun was puzzled: "Why do you want to bring it back to the inn to drink?" ”

"You're stupid, if you get drunk outside, who's going to take us back to the inn?"

"Yes. But why do we have to get drunk? ”

"What if? In case you can't drink enough, in case I'm greedy for alcohol, just in case. ”

"Okay." If he said this, he couldn't refute it.

The shop street has the name of a rotten street, Suzaku Street, east-west, the street is three miles long, there are many shops on both sides of the road, to the middle of the street, there is a north-south avenue intersecting with it, the street is one and a half miles long. The big shops are all located on the east and west roads, and the small stalls and vendors are concentrated on the north and south roads.

Although it is more prosperous than Nanping County, after all, it is very close to the war zone, and there are many people wandering on the street, but there are not many people who really buy things.

Business is hard. After a quarter of an hour on the east and west streets, I also entered a few shops, but the things in the shops were all the same.

The ones who sell incense powder are all those kinds of incense powder, and the ones who sell jewelry are all similar styles of jewelry, and those who sell ready-to-wear clothes are even worse than those ordinary ready-to-wear shops in Nanping County.

The shopkeepers of the shop are all sighing, and when customers enter the shop, they are not so enthusiastic.

Even if the society is in turmoil and the economy is sluggish, such a business attitude will only make things worse.

Qu Xiaobai didn't feel very good about the people in Dongshu County at first.

One side of the water and soil raises one side of the people, and the people raised by the water and soil of Dongshu County are not very positive.

On the contrary, it is not as good as the people of Nanping County, who are in dire straits.

Walking to the crossroads, Qu Xiaobai glanced at Yang Chun, "Yang Chun, why don't we take a walk around this north and south street?" ”

"Don't go any further? Isn't our target high-end people? ”

"Who said that?"

"I heard that this is what you planned for General Mu Nanyun Mu at the beginning."

"That was a plan for Mu Nanyun, and it was in Nanping County. Now, the customs of Dongshu County are different from those of Nanping County, so our plan has to be adjusted. ”

"Sister-in-law, do you think that the shopkeepers of those shops are arrogant and can't do business?"

"That's just one of the reasons. The people of Dongshu County don't seem to have any sense of consumption, they don't sell smartly enough, and they don't buy actively enough. ”

"These are things that can be changed."

Qu Xiaobai turned his head to look at Yang Chun, and suddenly smiled: "Yes, it can be changed." It's just that I don't have that much time and patience to do it. Anyway, Dongshu County is the closest city to us, and I can solve it when it is convenient for me. She paused and smiled more and more intriguingly: "Yang Chun, have you ever heard a story about selling combs?" ”

"Selling combs? No? Yang Chun shook his head, very dazed. This sister-in-law doesn't know what is in her head.

"The story goes that there was a comb making workshop, and they wanted to hire a guy to sell the combs, and as a result, three people applied. So, the shopkeeper came up with a question for three people, selling the comb to the monk to see who sold the most. ”

Yang Chun had an expression of "I look at you making it up".

Qu Xiaobai said to himself: "The first person, after running countless monasteries and selling to countless monks to no avail, finally met a little monk with an itchy head, so he tried to persuade the little monk to buy him a comb.

As for the second person, he also ran to a lot of monasteries, but he was not as lucky as the first one, and he met a little monk with an itchy head, and he didn't sell a handful. In desperation, he noticed that one of the worshippers who was burning incense had a female pilgrim whose hair was a little messy, so he told the abbot that it was disrespectful to the Bodhisattva, and finally persuaded the two monasteries to buy five handfuls each. He sold a total of ten.

The third man, he sold fifteen hundred. And, there could be more. ”

Yang Chun looked at him in disbelief.

Qu Xiaobai looked at him with a smile, "Or, think about it, how did he sell these 1,500 combs?" ”

The black line on Yang Chun's face, this change. The state of the sister-in-law, change. state of the problem. He scratched his scalp and racked his brains to think. Qu Xiaobai looked at him and smiled: "Yang Chun, do you need a comb now?" Sister-in-law here. "I was about to pull a comb into the package on my back.

"Hey, no." Yang Chun stopped her in time, "Let me think about it." ”

"That's right! Pregnant! Yang Chun was afraid of his brain and was pleasantly surprised, "I can cooperate with the temple and sell combs as a commodity." ”

Qu Xiaobai patted his head and said with a smile: "It's still quite a bit brainy." As for the third person, after experiencing the same dilemma as the first two, he began to think about how to sell the comb to the monk, and after thinking for a long time, he finally came up with a way. He thought that on the one hand, the monastery needed an economic foundation to support the monks, so he discussed with the abbot and engraved words on the comb, such as 'pious comb', 'fortune comb', etc., and divided them into different grades and distributed them after the pilgrims asked for signatures. This kind of comb was quickly widely accepted and purchased by pilgrims, so more and more temples came to buy this kind of comb. ”

Yang Chun's starry eyes: "So, what sister-in-law means is that there is no business that can't be done, the key depends on how you do it." Then this Dongshu County ......"

"What my sister-in-law means, anyway, this county is so close to us, let's talk about it later. Let's go, let's see what the vendors on the North and South Streets are selling. ”

On the north and south streets, it is more lively than the east and west streets, although there is only a short one and a half miles, but the stalls occupy the street to the full, all kinds of goods are dazzling, selling flowers, selling threads, selling vegetables, selling cloth...... There are even juggling squads.

There are a few knick-knacks on the street, Qu Xiaobai likes it very much, buys himself a jade bracelet, wears it on his wrist, and shows it to the other wrist: "Du Niang, other people's bracelets are more beautiful than you, I don't know where they went, only two taels of silver, obviously, you may not be worth two taels." ”

The mistakes made by Du Niang are enough for her to remember for a lifetime, and she will devote herself to the cause of fighting with Du Niang.
