Su Zhixi said, "I'll just ask you a few questions. Yongpingfang's shop, how much money did you spend on it? ”

Cheng En just asked a question when he heard it, and his attitude immediately became much friendlier.

"Ten dollars."

Su Zhixi sighed, "Yongpingfang is located in a remote area, and the shops in it are even ten-thousand? ”

"That's not what I said," Cheng En replied vigorously, "Although Yongping Fang is located in a remote area, there are many officials below the seventh grade living in the fang. Those officials have small houses, so there are many houses. Moreover, the curfew in the West Market is early, if it is not for large-scale procurement, most people will buy it in the workshop. Besides, fresh melons and fruits are expensive, I open a preserved fruit shop, although those aunts can't buy every day, but every few days, they will also have to buy some to go back to satisfy their hunger. ”

Su Zhixi listened to what she said, and asked, "How much is the monthly tax?" ”

Cheng En replied, "The location of my shop is good, and it is a hundred yuan on the street." If it's behind the street, it's only eighty dollars. ”

A hundred bucks... One money can buy two Hu cakes, and one hundred yuan is a month's living expenses for ordinary people.

"How long has it been?"

"It's more than half loaded."

Su Zhixi asked, "How much can you win every month?" ”

Cheng Enhui said, "The preserved fruit ranges from 200 to 400 yuan a tael, and it can be sold for 250 to 200 yuan 600 yuan a month, and if you ask the account keeper for ten yuan a day, it is 300 yuan, and the purchase price of the fruit, minus the monthly tax money, is about 80 yuan for me." ”

Su Zhixi listened to her settle the accounts and analyzed, "Your identity is a slave, so it is not appropriate for you to come forward, so you spent money to hire the account." If you put aside your identity and take care of your own accounts, this shop can earn 400 yuan a month?! ”

After Su Zhixi finished speaking, she looked at Cheng En, and seeing that she didn't mean to refute, she knew that her calculation was good.

A preserved fruit shop in Yongpingfang can earn 400 yuan a month!

This was really too unexpected for Su Zhixi.

You must know that the monthly salary of a seven-grade official is only three times.

Three times money?!

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Cheng En's account is particularly unreasonable.

"Even if there are many houses, the monthly salary of a seventh-grade official is only three times, not to mention the eight-grade and nine-grade officials, and the monthly salary is only two times in January. With such a fortune like them, how can they be willing to spend so much money in your shop for a month? ”

Cheng En saw that Su Zhixi's words were to the point, smiled, looked forward to the left and right, and said mysteriously, "What kind of shop to open the shop, what kind of shop is suitable for that shop, these are all knowledge." ”

Cheng En's eyes were shining, and he wanted to vomit as fast as possible.

Su Zhixi was obviously also very popular, and said with a humble attitude, "I would like to hear about it." ”

Cheng Endao, "The girl also knows that before being sold to Su Mansion, my family has been in business for generations, and my grandfather often said that buying and selling this matter is to say that there is a university to ask, and to say that it is the way to behave in the world." ”

"Of the 108 squares in Kyoto, only Yongheibo is inhabited by officials below the seventh grade. They have a monthly income but not much, this monthly income, for the family's expenses is not tight, but they are by no means rich, and there will not be too much surplus money to save. And these people also know that if you want to be rich and glorious in this life, the only way to go is promotion. So I'm willing to spend this little money. That's one of the reasons I chose this shop. ”

"The second is to spend time researching what kind of shop to open."

Cheng En said and swung his body triumphantly, a pair of apricot eyes flashed with fine light, just like Su Zhixi's room with mountains of gold and silver, full of excitement and joy.

"There are many official families living in Yongpingfang, and there are many aunts, and those who are willing to spend money are also aunts. The things that women like are nothing more than bead jewelry, rouge gouache, cloth materials, preserved fruit pastries and the like. Therefore, if you want to open a shop in Yongpingfang, you can only choose one of these things to do. ”

"The cost of bead hairpin jewelry shops, cloth materials, rouge gouache is too high, and the requirements for craftsmanship are extremely high. I have no coins and no connections, so it's naturally inappropriate. ”

"The pastry shop has the most important reputation, and the pastries are the best to make and eat freshly, which requires me to do it myself, I have no energy, and my aunts don't have much spare money to use. It's also inappropriate. ”

"Come to think of it, this preserved fruit shop doesn't need to spend a lot of effort to make, nor does it need to be guarded personally. And the production process of preserved fruits is simple, you can sell them after buying melons and fruits for half a day, you don't need to save coins, and the recovery cost is also fast. ”

Su Zhixi listened to what she said, and she was already convinced, completely forgetting that Cheng En was her own slave.

Su Zhixi knows that there is such a type of person in the world. usually looks ordinary, but when it comes to what she's good at, it's like she's glowing.

She had seen many literati and elegant guests like this at the poetry meeting before, and she was surprised that Cheng En in her courtyard was also such a person.

Su Zhixi thought and sighed, "Sold to the Su family as a slave, I have wronged you." ”

Cheng En, who was originally in high spirits, listened to Su Zhixi's words and returned to his idleness again.

"The girl treats me well, I am not wronged. I didn't do this because I was wronged. ”

Cheng En supported the ground with his hands, his head tilted slightly, making it difficult to see his expression.

"My Cheng family has been in business for generations, and although my grandfather got married early according to the law, he worked hard and did not have me until he was twenty-seven years old. Later, since he was sensible, he often took me with him, taught me the way of business, and often said that those who achieve great things cannot be limited to their identity. ”

"My grandmother often complained that he was unfilial, and after giving birth to me, she never wanted to bother with the affairs of men and women. Only I know that he has a mountain in his heart and wants to achieve great things. But my grandfather's life is not good, and my Cheng family's shop has just improved, and it suffered a natural disaster. Grandpa, they also starved to death due to famine. ”

Cheng En suddenly straightened up, his eyes were filled with a layer of mist, but his gaze was unusually firm.

She looked at Su Zhixi and said with a smile, "Girl, although I am a slave, I am always unwilling in my heart, I am not willing to live like this, because my Cheng family only lives me, so I live for my grandfather and my Cheng family." I don't ask you to be considerate, girl, but I ask you to do it. ”

Su Zhixi was very emotional when she heard this.

If Cheng En's family hadn't undergone a great change, he would be better off than her now.

Because what her grandfather taught her is something that will allow her to live freely for the rest of her life.

It's just that God doesn't fulfill people's wishes.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh that in her previous life, she was mostly self-pitying and self-pitying, only saying that heaven was unfair, but she had never resisted like Cheng En.

If Cheng En, who lives like this, can't live this life well.

Then how can she be lucky enough to live again?

There are many people in the world who are more miserable than her.

Natural disasters! Part never to meet again!

How can she be so virtuous and can get this honor.

Su Zhixi looked at Cheng En and sighed, "If it's earlier, sooner, you can tell me this." Maybe I can live like you and live with dignity. ”

"That's it," Su Zhixi smiled bitterly and said to Cheng En, "Get up, A-Niang is still waiting for me to come over." ”
