Chapter Ninety-Eight: Opening a Supermarket
This time it was completely driven away by Zhang Peony, not to mention Liu Meiniang's mood, that is, the group of big girls and little daughters-in-law in the workshop, the mood was a lot more comfortable, after all, when Zhang Peony was there, he didn't know anything every day, who didn't hate such a person, now Zhang Peony is finally gone, and there is laughter and laughter in the workshop every day.
In the blink of an eye, the chickens and fish on the mountain have been raised for several months, and the chickens and fish have grown fat.
"Sister-in-law, this fish and chicken can be sold." Zhang Jihan caught a chicken with three strokes and five divisions. The chicken cooed in Zhang Jihan's hand.
"I can sell it." Liu Meiniang is looking at the potato seedlings, which have grown very large.
Listening to Zhang Jihan's words, Liu Meiniang fell into deep thought, these chickens and fish, go directly to the market to sell, I'm afraid they won't sell for much.
"Shall we take it to the market and sell it?" Zhang Jihan asked.
In the market, the price of chicken and fish is not very high, not even as good as the price of pork, if you sell it, you will not make as much money as weaving, remembering that they have been busy since March, and the chickens and fish raised at home look much better than in the market, and when they eat it, they also find that the meat is more delicious, if the price of the song sold in the market is the same, wouldn't it be a loss.
Moreover, if all of them are sold to Chunmanlou, Chunmanlou will not be so much for a while.
When Liu Meiniang was lying in bed at night, she was still thinking about what to do with chickens and fish.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred in Liu Meiniang's mind, remembering the scene of her visiting the supermarket in her previous life. Supermarket......
"yes, I can run a supermarket." Liu Meiniang patted her head and said.
Their family now raises chickens, fish, and vegetables on the mountain, which can be used to open a supermarket.
The more Liu Meiniang thought about it, the more she felt that this idea was very feasible, and she didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night.
Early the next morning, Liu Meiniang got up early in the morning, first went to the kitchen to boil water, and then boiled porridge.
The noodles from the day before had already been sent, and Liu Meiniang directly used the noodles to wrap the buns.
Liu Meiniang and two kinds of stuffing, one with radish and pork, and one with tofu and cabbage.
Zhang Dandan fell asleep, and the broken hair in front of his forehead stood up directly because of the pressure of sleep, looking cute and cute.
"Sister-in-law, what are you going to eat this morning?"
Zhang Dandan ran directly to the kitchen and asked Liu Meiniang, who was wearing a homemade apron and was busy working by the pot.
"Eat steamed buns." Liu Meiniang said with a smile.
Stretched out his hand and touched Zhang Dandan's head, and the hair that stood up was still stubbornly fried.
"Go wash your face and brush your teeth."
Liu Meiniang said.
"Okay, sister-in-law." Zhang Dandan received the order and quickly ran away.
After the steamed buns were steamed, Liu Meiniang took out the boiled millet porridge, and it happened that several members of the Zhang family had washed up.
"Eat buns today." Zhang Jihan rubbed his hands and went into the kitchen to help Liu Meiniang come out.
"Hmm." Liu Meiniang responded.
"Sister-in-law has worked hard," Zhang Jihan said with a grin.
"Hehe, it's not hard." Liu Meiniang's heart is warm, the children of the Zhang family are very well-behaved, at least Liu Meiniang found out, they all have a grateful heart.
"I'll tell you something." Liu Meiniang saw that everyone had finished eating, put down the chopsticks and said.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Li asked.
"I want to open a shop," Ms. Liu said.
"Open a shop?" Zhang Jihan swallowed the last piece of bun.
"Well, it's just a shop that sells fish and chickens." Liu Meiniang explained a little.
"Aren't the chickens and fish sold at the market?" Zhang Li asked puzzled.
"I want to transport our chickens and fish to the county town when the time comes, and then buy them directly from the shops in the county town, and the price we sell them is similar to that in the vegetable market, or even cheaper than that in the vegetable market. What do you think of this? “
Liu Meiniang finished speaking excitedly, but found that Zhang Jihan and Zhang Li were both frowning and looking at her, their faces were not very good, and Zhang Dandan also looked ignorant.
"Mei Niang, I think it's good for us to sell it in the vegetable market, and we can also sell it to Chun Manlou, there is no need to open a shop in the county seat, right?" Zhang Li paused and expressed his opinion. Zhang Li is a rural woman, originally lived as a husband and children, laundry and cooking, as long as she can have food and clothing, she is satisfied, in her opinion, now the life of the family has been getting better and better, the house has been built, and there is money in her hands, only after two years, Zhang Jihan married a daughter-in-law, and Zhang Tongtong and Zhang Dandan said a good family affair.
She was full of merit, but Liu Meiniang suddenly said that she was going to open a shop, which made Zhang Li feel a little uncomfortable, isn't Liu Meiniang still satisfied with her current life?
Opening a shop in the county seat, although she doesn't know how much money is needed, but she also knows that it is not cheap, and if she can make money, it will be fine, what if she can't make money, she will lose all the money in her hand.
Zhang Li's biggest worry in his heart is that if Liu Meiniang goes to the county seat to open a shop, she can't be at home often, there are so many people of all kinds in the county, what if Liu Meiniang meets a bad guy and is deceived, or has other thoughts, no matter what their family does?
Although Zhang Li also knows that it is a matter of love for Liu Meiniang to stay in the Zhang family now, but having said that, once something happens, it is still a little unacceptable.
"I want to open a shop and sell my family's chickens and fish to make more money." Liu Meiniang didn't expect Zhang Li to oppose her idea, and when she put forward any opinions before, Zhang Li was very supportive.
"Sister-in-law, I also don't think it's necessary to open a shop, you think, after opening a shop, we will have to transport all the chickens and fish in the family to the county seat, mainly to open a shop in the county seat, which is very expensive." Zhang Jihan glanced at Liu Meiniang and said quickly.
When he used to gamble in the casino, he often heard others say that it is quite remarkable to be able to open a shop in the county, although their family is now living better, but is it not good to weave cloth and sell vegetables like this, why take the risk of opening a shop in the county?
"The family finally has some money, and you have to spend it indiscriminately." Zhang Tongtong slammed his chopsticks on the table and looked at Liu Meiniang, expressing his dissatisfaction.
"I ......." Liu Meiniang looked at the people of the Zhang family and felt a little strange, why did she want to open a shop, everyone reacted like this.
"Mother, the shop I opened is different from what you think, that is, the main vegetables and fruits, as well as chicken and fish, are placed in the shop for everyone to choose, and then check out together after choosing." Liu Meiniang gestured, trying to let everyone in the Zhang family understand what she meant, but supermarkets can be seen everywhere in modern society, but in the eyes of the ancients, it is an incredible thing.
If everything is put in the shop for people to choose, won't everyone be robbed of it?
How can this be sold, and there will be no return when the time comes.
"Mei Niang, forget about opening a shop, let's still weave cloth and raise silkworms, don't we also make a lot of money? Now the family has enough money to spend, and they can eat white rice and white noodles every day, Ji Han and they are all wearing new clothes, and the entire Liuhe Village is envious of our family's good life, let's not go to the county again, we are all mud legs, just forget about opening a shop. “
Zhang Li said earnestly, looking at Liu Meiniang eagerly, hoping that Liu Meiniang would adopt her opinion, but Liu Meiniang fell silent after listening to Zhang Li's words.
"Sister-in-law, can you not go to the city? Are you okay at home and with Dandan? Zhang Dandan jumped down from the stool, stretched out his little hand to hold Liu Meiniang's hand, and looked up at Liu Meiniang.
Everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Mother, I must open a shop." After a long time, Liu Meiniang glanced at everyone in the Zhang family and said firmly.
She enjoys this comfortable life, cooking every day, feeding the chickens, and teaching the three children of the Zhang family to read and write. But that doesn't mean she likes this kind of life very much.
In her previous life, Liu Meiniang has always had a spirit of not admitting defeat, from primary school to university, her grades are very good, and after graduating from college, she was directly admitted to a well-known university in China with the first place in 985 and became a master of arts.
The height of people is constantly increasing, and when you reach a new level and have a new circle, you will make an unnatural effort to improve yourself.
So Liu Meiniang has never been a person who is satisfied with the status quo.
If she stays in Liuhe Village for the rest of her life and repeats the same life, Liu Meiniang will definitely not be happy, this kind of life is too boring. Not for her, not to mention that she is only eighteen years old now.
When she first crossed over, she had already thought about it, and when she made enough money and the life of the Zhang family could be stable, she would go outside for a walk and travel through the mountains and rivers of Daqi.
Therefore, it is necessary to open a shop in the county seat, even if everyone in the Zhang family is against it, she will open a shop in the county seat.
"Sister-in-law......" Zhang Jihan said.
"I know, you don't agree with me to open a shop, you have your concerns, I also have my ideas, opening a shop may fail, but I still want to give it a try, I will go to the county town to see the shop the day after tomorrow."
Liu Meiniang didn't care about everyone's reactions and expressions, and went straight to clean up the dishes and chopsticks after speaking.
The rest of the people at the table looked at each other.
"I really don't know what she's going to do!" Zhang Tongtong leaned back in the chair all of a sudden, clasped his hands around his chest and said angrily.
"Sister-in-law, I'll help you." Zhang Dandan bit her lip, grabbed a few bowls on the table and ran to the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law, I'll come." Zhang Dandan came to Liu Meiniang and wanted to help Liu Meiniang wash the dishes.
"You go play, I'll wash it." Liu Meiniang gently pushed Zhang Dandan away and said lightly.
"Sister-in-law, don't leave us." Zhang Dandan stood on the kitchen floor a little helpless.
"I'm not leaving you." Liu Meiniang felt a headache, she just wanted to go to the county town to open a shop.
"Then can you not go to the county town to open a shop?" Zhang Dandan said almost beggingly.
"I'm just going to open a shop, and it's not like I'm not coming back." Liu Meiniang sighed.
