Chapter 90 Opening of the business
Either way, it's too late to change something.
The invitation has been sent out, and the date of reopening has been set, so if you have any ideas, you can only discuss it slowly with your uncle and lobby brother in the future.
Yu Tang carefully inspected the goods in and out of the warehouse, and handed over the account book to his uncle.
Yu Bo spot-checked a few pieces, and saw that they were all well-organized and the accounts matched, so he praised Yu Tang: "Not bad, not bad." Start by getting familiar with the things in our shop, and then slowly learn to read the account book and learn to make accounts, and no one will be able to bluff you. ”
Yu Wen laughed when he heard this, and felt that his daughter was still very smart, and maybe she had a talent for business, but she was delayed by her identity as a woman in the past.
He thought for a while and said to his brother: "Brother, it will open tomorrow, why don't you let Ah Tang also come to the store to help?" ”
said that it was helping, of course, Yu Tang couldn't be allowed to sell wine on the street, at most, he was watching the shipment in the warehouse behind the shop, so as not to get the wrong thing in a hurry.
Since Yu Bo wants to cultivate Yu Tang, he must hope that she will often come to the shop to walk around, when Wang was in his mother's house, this is how he followed his father and brother to do business, and the reason why Yu Tang's grandfather fell in love with Wang was also because Wang had the ability to read accounts.
"Okay!" He readily agreed, and said to Yu Tang, "Your eldest aunt will also come over that day, so you will follow your eldest aunt and recognize people first." ”
When the shop reopened, people who knew each other on the first day and friends in business would come to congratulate them.
Yu Tang was busy.
Wang affectionately took Yu Tang's hand and told her with a smile: "Just wear ordinary clothes, the girl's family helps the family to look after the shop, and the most taboo thing is to dress too brightly, making people think you have ulterior motives." Make people feel like you're here to do things, not to be idle. Do you understand? ”
"Understood!" Yu Tang replied with a smile.
Clothing is also a language. On occasions when there are many female dependents, you dress flamboyantly, and others think that you are going to be in the limelight and take the lead, but it is understandable. But if there are many men, and there are business dealings, others will think that you have bad intentions and want to make a beauty, and there will often be a lot of misunderstandings.
Chen was a little worried, and said, "Why don't you wait until the business is opened, and then let Ah Tang come over to help look after the shop?" ”
Yu Tang took the initiative to comfort his mother: "Look at the shop any day." The main reason for coming here tomorrow is to recognize people, and if something happens in the future, it is good to know who to go to. ”
She didn't have the time or opportunity to understand who she could and couldn't, so she could only count on the guidance of her elders.
She also wants to do some small business to supplement her family after the auction of the map, she doesn't know people, how can she partner with others, the woman named Jiang Ling in her previous life is so powerful, and she also has to rely on the power of her brother, she is not so arrogant, she feels that she is more shrewd and capable than Jiang Ling.
Yu Bo nodded with satisfaction, and said to Yu Wen: "Ah Tang is really sensible, you will wait to enjoy happiness in the future!" ”
"That's, that's!" Yuwen made no secret of his pride.
Wang and the others all pursed their lips and smiled.
Back at home, Chen and Yu Tang rummaged through the cabinets, finally decided on the clothes to wear when they opened, and repeatedly told Yu Tang for a long time, "Follow your aunt, don't walk around" and the like, and then let Yu Tang rest.
Yu Tang couldn't sleep a little.
At this time in her previous life, she had married into the Li family, in order to give her a dismount and let her be a good widow, she begged several times to go back to her parents' house to send New Year's gifts, but Lin pretended to be deaf and dumb to avoid the conversation, but she was young and thin-skinned, knowing that Lin was rectifying her, it was not easy to go back, until the twenty-third day of the lunar month, seeing that the next day was a small year, Lin unhurriedly let her personal mother-in-law take the New Year's gift list to the Yu family, and let her go back to send the New Year's gift.
She didn't care about the anger in her heart, and returned to her parents' house with Shuangtao.
The house was deserted, only sacrificial fish and meat were made, and the eldest uncle's family of three gathered around the table and drank porridge with pickles......
To this day, she vividly remembers the way her aunt found her when she came in with the bowl behind her.
In this life, everything is different.
But she also wants to go in a better direction.
Yu Tang was full of thoughts and fell asleep unconsciously.
The next day, she was awakened by the sound of firecrackers.
Sitting up from the bed suddenly, Yu Tang was still a little confused, thinking that he was still in the borrowed nunnery, and it took a while to come back to his senses.
She called Shuang Peach: "What's the matter?" It's not yet a small year, who will set off firecrackers? ”
Shuangtao smiled and said: "It's the Xiang family, I came to give our family a New Year's gift, and the lord let me put the firecrackers." ”
Yu Tang didn't expect the Xiang family to give a New Year's gift to their family, so he lifted the quilt and got up, and said, "Who is the Xiang family to send the New Year's gift?" ”
Xiang is the future eldest daughter-in-law of the Yu family, and the people in the family come to send the New Year's etiquette, if the husband's family values this family business, they will set up a banquet to entertain the guests, and they will also take the aunt and uncle of the family to accompany them. Of course, if it's just a steward, that's a different story.
Shuangtao smiled: "It's Miss Xiang's brother." ”
Yu Tang said: "What should I do in the shop?" ”
Shuangtao said: "The eldest master said, our master and the eldest young master stayed to accompany the guests, you and the eldest master went to the shop first, and then rushed over when the young master was sent away." The auspicious time cannot be delayed. ”
That's all there is to it.
Yu Tang, Yu Bo, and Wang went to the shop.
It was still early, the weather was cold, and the people on Changxing Street were either preparing to open shops or sweeping the streets.
Yu Tang got off the sedan chair, sighed, and asked the eldest uncle: "Have you said everything about the lion dance?" ”
Yu Yuan is responsible for the lion dance and picking up the red, and today he is entertaining the people of the Xiang family at home, and she is afraid that there will be something that she can't explain.
Yu Bo said: "Ah Yuan is afraid that if something happens, he went to invite the lion dance to take Pinggui with him, he is not here, and Pinggui is still there." You don't have to worry. ”
Her cousin is getting more and more in place.
Yu Tang smiled and responded "yes", and entered the shop from the backyard with Yu Bo.
The big shopkeeper is her eldest uncle, a few young men have stayed after the water, and a few are new recruits, and the people in the workshops and warehouses behind, except for those from Jiangxi, are her uncle's apprentices. When she walked in, she made a special observation, and found that the people brought by the Jiangxi master were working on one side, and her uncle's apprentice was working on the other side, which was very distinct.
She couldn't help frowning slightly.
That's not a good sign!
Yu Tang wondered if he should come to the shop often to have a look, Xia Pinggui walked in, saw her uncle busy and said: "Master, everything outside has been arranged according to the will of the eldest young master, just wait for the auspicious time." ”
Yu Bo looked at the hourglass, felt that the time was almost up, and asked Xia Pinggui: "Has Master Pei San arrived?" ”
Xia Pinggui was stunned for a moment, pulled his legs and ran out, shouting in his mouth: "I'll go and have a look." ”
Yu Bo doesn't like Xia Pinggui very much, mainly because he also learned from him, and Xia Pinggui's craftsmanship is better than Yu Yuan. Of course, Yu Yuan is a young owner, and there is no point in fighting with Xia Pinggui, but Xia Pinggui's skills will soon be released, and Yu Yuan, a young owner, has to rely on him for a few points. Yu Bo was afraid that Xia Pinggui would stand on his own like his previous master, so he would be extremely strict with him.
Yu Tang was very surprised and said, "Is Master Pei San also coming?" ”
Yu Bo couldn't help but be a little proud when he talked about it, and said, "I didn't come originally. But when we went to deliver the invitation, we happened to meet Mr. Hu, who went to help us out, saying that he would come then. ”
I really didn't expect Pei Yan to participate in such an event.
Yu Tang blinked, imagining Pei Yan's expressionless face and disgusted eyes in the pungent smoke of gunsmoke and firecrackers...... I don't know why, but she thinks it's very interesting.
It's a pity that almost all of the shops in Lin'an City are old-fashioned, and Pei Yan doesn't have too many opportunities to participate in such activities!
Xia Pinggui ran back again, gasping and said to Yu Bo: "No, I looked around carefully, and I didn't see Master Pei San, nor did I see the Pei family's sedan chair or carriage. After he finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment and said softly, "I didn't see the Pei family come to send congratulatory gifts." ”
"Is there something delayed?" Yu Bo muttered, looking at the hourglass that recorded the time with some anxiety - at most, the auspicious time for the opening would be a quarter of an hour at most, and the noise of the crowd was already heard outside.
Xia Pinggui was also a little anxious.
There is only one lacquerware shop in Lin'an City, the Yu family has no craftsmanship, the most important thing is that the Yu family has a talented man, other merchants do not want to compete with the Yu family for the limelight, and the Yu family has someone who can stand in the court and speak, and others have to kneel.
If Master Pei San can come to congratulate him today, those officials who patrol the streets will have to look down on the Yu family's shop in the future, not to mention that some helpers dare to come to make trouble.
"Why don't I go and see it again?" Xia Pinggui said.
Yu Tang stopped Xia Pinggui: "Master Pei San is the sect master of the Pei family, and he is doing things safely, if he doesn't come, he will definitely say hello in advance, and we will open at an auspicious time." ”
Yu Bo and Xia Pinggui didn't quite believe it.
Yu Tang thought that she had dealt with Pei Yan several times, and she was very confident in Pei Yan, she said: "I have dealt with the third master, I know his personality, you can rest assured, he is a man of his word!" ”
Without faith, it is impossible to stand before others.
Yu Bo believed it, didn't say anything anymore, asked Xia Pinggui about the outside, and left Yu Tang in the shop, and he and Xia Pinggui went out of the shop from the backyard to prepare for the opening ceremony ahead.
Yu Tang thought about it, quietly went up to the second floor, pushed the window open a little gap and looked down.
The entrance of the shop is already full of crowded people, some come to see the excitement, some come to congratulate, and some want to take advantage of the opening discount to buy some cheap things. Yu Bo took Xia Pinggui and greeted the visitors with a spring breeze on his face, Yu Tang even saw Master Wu and Master Wei, but he didn't see Pei Yan or the people of the Pei family.
Is something really wrong?
Yu Tang's hand holding the handkerchief was tightly twisted together.
Pei Yanyan came to attend the opening ceremony of their shop, it was a very honorable thing for her uncle, her uncle must have let out the wind a long time ago, if Pei Yan didn't come this time, their Yu family would be criticized, and Pei Yan's reputation would also be affected.
Pei Yan won't regret it temporarily, right?
