Chapter 68: Road Encounter
Zhong Ling touched the brand-new clothes, and the first thing that came to mind was money......
Bo Zhong hurriedly explained: "This is not what we bought, this is a gift from someone." ”
Zhong Ling's eyes immediately widened, "Who?" "So rich!
"Yes......" Bo Zhong scratched his head and looked at Yuan Ning, only their sister and brother knew about opening a shop.
Yuan Ning smiled, put his arm around Shu Yu with one hand, and said to Zhong Ling: "There are no outsiders now, and I won't hide it from you, but you just remember it after listening to it, don't say it, otherwise, I will kick him out of the house!" ”
Shu Yu nodded his little head vigorously.
"The one I don't worry about the most is you!" Yuan Ning pinched him lightly in the face.
Shu Yu puffed out his cheeks, "I'm very well-behaved!" ”
Yuan Ning smiled, and then said, "I opened a shop with someone outside. ”
"What?" Zhong Ling couldn't believe his ears, "Where did we get the capital?" ”
"I haven't made a noise about this," Yuan Ning said slowly, "Before, in the fruit forest, your eldest brother and I rescued a person who was bitten by a poisonous snake, and they gave a reward of one hundred taels of silver.
"In addition, we also made a few dozen taels of silver from selling fruit, so I used this money to rent a house and buy a loom.
"Of course, this is far from enough, but we are also lucky, we met the person who was rescued before, and that person thought my idea was very good, so he cooperated with me, well, it is the Su Gongzi who came to our house before."
Zhong Ling nodded ignorantly, she understood some of what the eldest sister said, and she didn't understand some of what she said.
"At the beginning, I planted ramie in our field with the intention of doing a weaving business in the future, didn't I just start doing it slowly?"
"But," Zhong Ling was confused, "the eldest sister sold all the ramie, and later wanted to weave cloth, didn't she want to buy it back?" Isn't this a toss back and forth? ”
"Of course not," Yuan Ning pursed his lips and smiled, "At that time, we didn't have any money in our hands, we could do a lot of things by selling ramie, anyway, the price of ramie that we bought back later didn't go up." ”
"Oh." Zhong Ling nodded, his face still blank.
Yuan Ning couldn't help but laugh and said: "So I said you don't have to worry so much, everything has me!" Now all you have to do is rejoice and prepare for the New Year! ”
Zhong Ling took a deep breath and smiled widely, "Yes!" I listen to my eldest sister! ”
"That's right!" Yuan Ning pulled her into his arms and kissed her loudly on the face.
Ling Zhong grew so big, even her parents had never made such an intimate act towards her, and she immediately blushed.
Shu Yu didn't understand it yet, and he wanted to kiss him when he saw this.
Yuan Ning smiled and kissed him on the cheek, then looked up at Bo Zhong, "Do you want it?" ”
How many years older is Bo Zhong, knowing the difference between men and women, he blushed and waved his hand.
Yuan Ning laughed.
Ji Xiu also giggled.
The atmosphere in the room was warm and cheerful.
In the blink of an eye, it was the twentieth day of the lunar month, and Yuan Ning's house was almost cleaned up, and the meat he bought back was also disposed of, wrapped in oiled paper and frozen under the eaves.
The wax moon drips into ice, and it snowed again two days ago, Yuan Ning is afraid that his younger brothers and sisters will be cold, and the kang is burning all day long, but it is not cold in the house.
But thinking about the things in the shop, even if the road is a little slippery, I have to go to the county seat, but this time I didn't bring Bo Zhong, because the road is too sinful.
She fell twice on the way, and when she stopped to rest, she heard the sound of donkey hooves, and when she turned her head, she saw a man dressed in a thick coat and a hood, riding on a donkey, and beside him a servant carrying a burden.
The hood of the man on the donkey covered most of his face, and he didn't recognize it for a while, wasn't the servant carrying the burden the Beimang?
So, the one who rode the donkey was Su Heting?
She was at a three-way intersection, judging from Su Heting's coming, he should have come from Huaishu Township?
There are more than a dozen townships and more than 100 villages under Tianqing County, with a total population of more than 60,000.
Huaishu Township is a relatively chaotic township in Tianqing County, separated from Tianwei Township, where Xiaozhangzhuang is located, but Yuan Ning has not heard much about things there on weekdays.
Why did the master and servant go over there?
At the same time, Su Heting also saw her, and when the donkey came closer, he grabbed the donkey and turned it over, and asked, "It's freezing this day, where are you going?" ”
"Go to the county seat!" Yuan Ning rubbed his nose, which was red and cold, and sniffed, "Isn't there something else in the shop!" ”
Su Heting frowned, "Didn't you say that I would take care of the rest?" ”
"Alas," Yuan Ning sighed, "then I can't be the shopkeeper!" After all, I'm the big guy! ”
Su Heting untied his big hat and surrounded her, and hugged her on the back of a donkey, "Let it be given to you!" ”
"Hey-" Yuan Ning didn't have time to struggle, he was already on the back of the donkey, and the big coat wrapped around his body still carried Su Heting's body temperature, warm.
Su Heting is a person who loves cleanliness very much, no matter when they meet, even if they are dressed in disguise, their bodies are refreshing and refreshing, with an indescribable fragrance of plants and trees, clear and good.
Now there is also a unique cold fragrance on this big pot, which is very refreshing.
Yuan Ning's face was a little hot, after all, he was not used to wearing a man's clothes, "This ...... How embarrassing? ”
"You have small steps, I don't know when you will be able to get there," Su Heting reached out and took another piece of wind from Beimang's hand and draped it on his body, and said as he said, "What's more, even if I take a small head, the things in the shop are also my business, if you have anything to worry about, you can talk to me while walking."
"After all, I live in the county seat, if there is something in the shop, wouldn't it be more convenient for me to come forward?"
Yuanning had a moment of stuckness.
Su Heting said with a low smile: "The profitability of the shop is good, and there are more than ten or twenty taels of silver in the income every month, and in addition to the cost, rent, and labor, there is also a net profit of twenty taels of silver."
"We've just opened, so it's good to have this result, and besides, our cloth is good, and everyone who has bought it knows it. After the New Year, not only will there be repeat customers, but also many new customers, and it is not impossible to double the profit at that time.
"Aren't you trying to be sure? We didn't make a big deal about it, but when we wait for the next year, we can find someone to spread the word everywhere, and conservatively estimate that a tenfold increase in profits will not be a problem. ”
After saying this, he looked sideways at Yuan Ning, "Why don't you speak?" ”
Yuan Ning: "......"
You've said everything, what else can I say?
Su Heting smiled, "Are you still worried about me?" ”
"What's wrong with me?" Yuan Ning said sullenly, "For a person who can take a hundred taels of silver casually, what do you have to plan for a poor person like me?" Anyway, I took a big advantage! ”
