Chapter 75: Talking about business, it's snowing
In the back hall of Yibaofang, Shopkeeper Zhang personally poured a cup of hot tea for the two of them.
"Tea, please."
Liu Xiaohe picked up the teacup and smelled it, the fragrance of the tea smelled very comfortable, and she took a sip.
"Good tea."
"This is this year's new tea, the best dragon tip."
"Dragon's Tip!" Liu Xiaohe smiled, and then asked, "Why did you choose such a name?" ”
"Because this tea grows on the top of Longwang Mountain, it is named Longjian."
"I see." Liu Xiaohe suddenly realized.
"If Mrs. Zhang likes it, bring a can back later."
"No, it's not good to drink tea when you're pregnant." Although I like it, I don't dare to drink too much while I am pregnant with a child.
After listening to this, Shopkeeper Zhang realized that his hospitality was not good, and hurriedly called someone to replace the tea with sugar water.
"I'm sorry."
"It's fine."
Liu Xiaohe was not angry, because she could see that the shopkeeper really didn't understand, and it seemed that he didn't get married.
After a while, the guy came in with a pot of sugar water, added sugar water to the two ladies, and the two drank some sugar water.
"I don't know what the names of these two puppets are."
"This stuffed one is called Teddy Bear, and this one is called Mickey Mouse." Liu Xiaohe pointed it out separately and introduced it to the shopkeeper Zhang.
After listening to the names of the two kinds of puppets, Shopkeeper Zhang felt that these two kinds of puppets not only looked strange, but even the names were strange, he had never heard of a bear called a teddy bear, and a mouse called Mickey Mouse, but it did successfully attract him.
"I wonder if Mrs. Zhang will have other tricks?" This is the purpose of the shopkeeper.
"Yes." Liu Xiaohe replied with a word and didn't say much.
"I wonder if Mrs. Zhang is willing to make a deal with our Yibaofang?"
"The transaction can be done, but my sister-in-law also needs to rely on this to eat, if I give you the drawings, then my sister-in-law will not have a job?"
Originally, Chen Keer was still immersed in the world where she had earned so much money just now, but when she heard Liu Xiaohe's words, she raised her head and looked at Xiaohe.
Shopkeeper Zhang looked at the woman next to Mrs. Zhang, who was also pregnant, and said with a smile: "This is simple, in the future, we will accept all the puppets made by Mrs. Zhang's sister-in-law." ”
He took a look, and this woman's embroidery skills were good, comparable to the embroiderers in Yibaofang.
"Then I don't know what price the shopkeeper used to accept it?" Liu Xiaohe asked.
This is a question, and the shopkeeper Zhang thought for a while before answering.
"Seventy percent of the market price."
"Eighty percent, the same every time I make the same picture, I want one percent of the dividends from the sale of the entire Yibaofang." Liu Xiaohe looked at the shopkeeper Zhang, what she wanted was just a profit from the profit from selling puppet toys.
The shopkeeper smiled and was a little embarrassed.
Chen Keer finally understood why Liu Xiaohe asked her to bring the drawings of the teddy bear and Mickey Mouse before going out.
It can be seen that the shopkeeper Zhang is embarrassed, and he does not let the shopkeeper give an answer now.
"Shopkeeper Zhang can think about it slowly, for the time being, our puppet toys will only be sold to Yibaofang, as for the drawings of teddy bear and Mickey Mouse, I will give them to you today as a meeting gift."
"Here's a drawing of a teddy bear and Mickey Mouse." Chen Keer offered it with both hands, not afraid that the shopkeeper would not admit it.
Shopkeeper Zhang didn't answer, but said to Liu Xiaohe respectfully: "This matter is very important, I need to tell our host, but Mrs. Zhang can rest assured, it won't be too long." ”
"Then I'll wait for the news of the shopkeeper, it's not too early, my sister-in-law and I should go back, so I won't sit down." After finishing speaking, he got up, and after giving up, he took Chen Keer out of the back hall and went to the front of the store.
Chen Ke'er said excitedly: "Xiao He, can we do more in the future?" ”
"Hmm."
"Then I'll buy more cloth and cotton." As he spoke, he went to adjust the cloth.
Seeing that Chen Ke'er was full of energy, she laughed, but still reminded her.
"Earning money is important, but the body also has to be taken care of, you are pregnant now, you can't work too hard, you don't have to worry about this money not earning for a long time, I won't draw a new picture this year, wait for the spring of next year to draw a new picture."
After listening to her words, the shopkeeper who came out felt that it was necessary to tell the owner as soon as possible, otherwise he would be robbed by others.
However, in order to show his sincerity, the shopkeeper Zhang instructed the guys in the shop: "In the future, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Liu will get a nine-percent discount on their purchases." ”
"Yes." The man nodded in response, and gave him a serious look at the two women in front of him, taking them to heart.
"Shopkeeper Zhang is too polite." Liu Xiaohe laughed, and did not point out the shopkeeper's intention to do this.
Chen Keer listened to the shopkeeper's words and bought more.
She doesn't break it, but the shopkeeper wants to break it.
"Please also ask Mrs. Zhang not to negotiate transactions with other families for the time being." He knew that the request was unreasonable, but he had to say it.
"Yes." Liu Xiaohe readily agreed.
Yibaofang is a big fat meat, how could she give up this big fat meat.
With Mrs. Zhang's approval, the shopkeeper Zhang was relieved and said, "Then I won't disturb Mrs. Zhang's shopping, I'll go to my owner now." ”
"Shopkeeper Zhang wants to go in person? Isn't it okay to send a message? ”
"The stakes are very high, and the drawings should also be shown to the owner, so be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, so it is better to go in person."
After listening to the shopkeeper's words, she nodded, thinking that it was about to snow, she reminded her.
"Be careful on the road."
Shopkeeper Zhang had a good impression of Mrs. Zhang, nodded and turned to leave, and suddenly an idea came to his heart: It would be better if Mrs. Zhang was not married.
I couldn't help but laugh, feeling like I was thinking too much.
Looking at the shopkeeper Zhang, who was shaking her head, she twisted her eyebrows slightly and didn't think much about it, turned around to see that Chen Ke'er had bought a lot, she felt a group of crows flying overhead, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.
"Didn't you listen to what I just said to you? You're going to exhaust yourself to the rhythm. ”
As he spoke, he halved the fabric that Chen Keer bought, and then took some thick fabrics.
"You make two thick clothes for yourself and Ah Can, it's going to snow soon, it's going to be colder, you have to take your time to earn money, you can't be in a hurry."
The guy also felt that Mrs. Zhang's words were reasonable, so he also said: "Mrs. Zhang is right, this year is much colder than in previous years, Mrs. Liu still needs to make two more thick clothes, and you have to have a good body to earn money, otherwise the money earned in the end will be given to the doctor, which is not worth it." ”
The guy didn't despise Chen Keer in the slightest, this is the reason why Yibaofang can take root all over the world, and this is also the reason why Liu Xiaohe likes Yibaofang.
Chen Ke'er's eyes were red for a while, forgetting that she was still pregnant, and she smiled and nodded.
"Listen to you."
In the end, Chen Keer bought some fabric and cotton to make thick clothes, and then the two left Yibaofang.
As soon as he walked out of Yibaofang, Zhang Yunsheng came over, saw them carrying bags in their hands, and reached out to take them all.
"Thank you." Chen Keer said thank you.
"You've all done your stuff?" Liu Xiaohe asked Zhang Yunsheng.
Zhang Yunsheng nodded, and then replied to her: "It's all done, I will do everything you ordered, I should be able to make it in a few days, and I will pick it up when the time comes." ”
"That's good." Thinking about being able to eat hot pot at home this winter, she felt refreshed.
That's right, what she asked Zhang Yunsheng to do was a blacksmith shop and a furniture shop, she wanted a table with a hole in the middle and a mandarin duck pot.
Although Chen Keer was curious, she didn't ask.
When she got home, Chen Keer took out six taels of the money she earned today and gave it to Liu Acan.
"You take this to Xiao He."
Liu Acan looked at the six taels of silver on the table, and asked dumbfounded, "Where did you get so much money?" ”
"The Muppets earned it." Speaking of this, Chen Keer was very happy, "Today, ten puppets sold ten taels of silver, and they earned more than nine taels after removing the capital, and these six taels were distributed to Xiao He, you take them to her." ”
Liu Acan was very surprised, he didn't expect the puppet to make so much money, nodded again and again, took the silver and went to the new house.
When Liu Acan put six taels of silver in front of Liu Xiaohe, Liu Xiaohe's good-looking eyebrows frowned slightly, and he reached out and took a tael of silver and returned it to Liu Acan.
"That's a lot." Liu Acan was wondering when he heard these two words.
"It's more than a hundred dollars, and I'll calculate a whole one for you." Liu Acan pushed the money back.
"My brother still counts the accounts, and more is more. You wait for me to find you money. After Liu Xiaohe finished speaking, he got up and went back to the room, counted one hundred and twenty copper coins, and handed them to Liu Acan.
Liu Acan said that he was very helpless, knowing that he couldn't talk about Xiao He, so he didn't argue with her, and took one hundred and twenty copper coins back.
Chen Ke'er saw that Xianggong took back another hundred and twenty copper coins, didn't ask anything, and silently put the money away.
Sure enough, the day changed, and only two days later, it began to snow, at first it was a fluffy little snow, and gradually turned into goose feather snow, and a layer of snow was spread everywhere, white and white.
Because this was Liu Xiaohe's first snow here, she stood under the eaves, looking up at the snow falling from the sky, with a smile on her face.
Zhang Yunsheng was worried that she would catch a cold, so he specially put a cloak on her.
"Let's look at it for a while and go into the house." The doting tone is asking for her wishes.
Liu Xiaohe nodded, but she didn't look at it, she was reluctant to let Zhang Yunsheng accompany her here to be cold, so she took his arm and turned around and went into the house.
"It's snowing so hard." She walked as she spoke.
"This year's snow is heavier than usual, and I guess we won't have to go out for a month." Zhang Yunsheng estimated it.
After listening to Zhang Yunsheng's words, she frowned, a little worried about the old house, thinking that there were still spare rooms here, so it was better to let Chen Keer and Liu Acan come over to live.
"It's better to let Liu Acan and his wife move over for the winter." She asked Zhang Yunsheng.
Zhang Yunsheng smiled lightly and nodded.
"You go back to the house, I'll go over and say."
Liu Xiaohe smiled and nodded.
On the side of the old house, Liu Acan and Chen Ke'er burned a charcoal fire in the hall, and they were roasting the fire, looking at Zhang Yunsheng who came in, Liu Acan stood up.
"What's the matter?"
"Xiao He asked you to move to a new house for the winter, you clean up."
Chen Keer was stunned and was almost pricked by a needle.
Liu Acan did not refuse, and thanked Zhang Yunsheng gratefully.
"Thank you, I'll go back to the room and clean up."
The reason why he didn't refuse was because it was really cold this year, and he was fine with the cold, but his daughter-in-law couldn't stand the cold when she was pregnant with a child, so he was not hypocritical.
Zhang Yunsheng looked at Chen Ke'er with no expression on his face, and said, "You come with me first." ”
Chen Keer shook her head: "I still have something to pack, you go back first, and our husband and wife will go over later." ”
Zhang Yunsheng nodded after listening, turned around and left.
