Chapter 308: Express
"Send something and yellow paper, a total of seven cents."
"You send this farther, it costs ten cents."
The guy didn't see the arrival of Jiang Xi and Li Xuemei, and he was still skillfully quoting.
Jiangxi was stunned, isn't this just an express delivery? It turned out that without her instructions, the people in the shop had already been self-taught. Moreover, it is still decently done.
"Girl, you're here." The person in charge of the post station saw Jiang Xi with sharp eyes and hurriedly greeted him. Seeing that Jiang Xi had been staring at the place where he sent things, the person in charge of the post station wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and explained, "Girl, many people don't send letters very much, and they want to bring some things to their families. ”
He thought that Jiang Xi would blame him, but he saw a smile on the corner of Jiang Xi's mouth.
"What's this, I originally planned to do the same, I wanted to wait for the time to be ripe, and then let them send things, I didn't expect that your side has developed so fast, but it's very surprising."
"Girl, do you mean to send something?"
"Naturally, our post station can't just act as a post office for sending letters, becoming a courier is the ultimate goal."
"Huh? Girl, what are you talking about, what is the post office and the courier? The person in charge was completely confused, what these two words meant, why he didn't understand it at all. He is also a literate person, otherwise he would not have been chosen by the girl to be the person in charge here, he knows these words when they are taken apart, but when they are combined, he doesn't understand them at all.
Sure enough, only a learned person like the girl could say such a thing, and those like them who only knew the surface were still too far behind.
He thought so in his heart, but he didn't know that even if he called out a champion of the Great Liang Kingdom, it was impossible to know the meaning of these two words, so he could only roughly guess.
Li Xuemei next to Jiangxi was happy, she didn't understand the meaning of these two words before, but fortunately Jiangxi taught her, and now she wants to laugh when she sees others like her.
"Cousin, don't just laugh at me, please tell me about it."
Jiang Xi and Li Xuemei had been here once before, so the person in charge knew Li Xuemei's identity, and when he saw her smile at this moment, he knew that she must understand the meaning of these two words.
"Okay then, I'll tell you." Li Xuemei glanced at Jiang Xi with a smile, and after confirming that Jiang Xi did not intend to stop her, she spoke, "As for the post office, it refers to the special delivery of letters, and the express delivery is different, the express delivery generally refers to the delivery of things, and these two things are combined, which is our Wantong Station." ”
Although the person in charge still doesn't understand it a little, express delivery is to quickly deliver things to others, which is still more appropriate. It's the post office, and he really doesn't understand why it's called that. In short, as long as you know the meaning of these two words, it will become, and they will have to analyze it, and they are not literati who specialize in studying these, they ordinary people only know the meaning, and then do what they do at hand.
Jiangxi also instructed some words, asking this side to set a standard for the price of express delivery, so that it can be implemented in other places in the future. As soon as the person in charge heard this, he knew that they were a pilot, just like the grain in their province was now a pilot in the whole country, and if they did it well, it would be a supreme honor, and maybe their status in the Jiang family would also rise, so they would work harder.
Li Xuemei and Jiang Xi watched here for a while before leaving satisfied.
"Xi'er, I found that the people in the provincial capital are really much smarter than the ones in our town, you see, they all know that it is like a courier, but our town is still just sending letters."
Jiang Xi smiled, shook his head and said, "Actually, you can't say that, most people are actually about the same level of intelligence. It's just that there are many people in the provincial capital, and there are more ideas that come to mind. Second, people in provincial cities may be relatively confident, and if they think of any ideas, they can quickly implement them.
In contrast, the people in our town prefer to follow a step-by-step approach, do whatever they want, and don't think of any special methods on their own, and even if they do, they rarely implement them. ”
Li Xuemei nodded heavily: "Yes, yes, what you said makes sense, the people in the village in our town are like that, they will do what they do, as if they will never be able to use their brains, they seem a little stupid."
Someone in our village had thought of an idea before, but he himself never thought of doing it, and then our merchant who harvested fruit came and overheard it, so he made his idea, and as a result, they made a lot of money, and everyone heard about it and thought it was not worth it.
In the past, I was quite worthless for him, it was clearly his idea, how could he be cheaper than others, and his own life was still hard haha. Now that I have heard what you said, I suddenly feel that he actually doesn't regret it much, because he doesn't want to do it at all, he is used to the kind of step-by-step you said, and he doesn't dare to go...... Go to ......"
"To innovate."
"That's right! It's innovation, and he doesn't dare to step out of the step. In this way, how can it be possible to live a good life. Even before Xi'er's family, didn't it get up little by little, and every time you think of a way, you have to turn it into a fact, so your family will become a big family in the town and county, and now you have a firm foothold in the provincial capital.
I was thinking that in the future, I must find someone who is confident and not timid, so that the two of us can live more and more prosperously, and not go to those who look honest and dare not practice or take risks. ”
Jiang Xi's eyes suddenly lit up, Li Xuemei has learned a little poetry these days, and her words are different, and her knowledge has become different from before. Li Xuemei didn't have such an awareness before, but now she knows that it is a good thing to find self-motivated people.
Jiang Xi remembered a sentence from his previous life: Boys are poor, girls are rich.
This poverty and wealth not only refer to material things, but also include spiritual things.
When a boy grows up, he will become the pillar of a family, so he must cultivate his sense of independence and responsibility from an early age, and he can't help him do everything well, just let him enjoy it, so that the children raised will not have a sense of responsibility when they grow up, and they can't support their own family, and it is difficult to find a daughter-in-law.
And girls must be well-informed, so that they will not be blinded by some external things and ignore some essential things when picking people in the future.
Li Xuemei now has such an awareness, so this trip is not in vain.
The two of them walked slowly from the post station, and the things that Li Xuemei wanted to buy had been completed in the first three days of coming to the provincial capital, and now there was nothing to worry about, so they walked around, and unconsciously, they came to Li Yunlan's newly opened shop.
In fact, the shop has not opened yet, Li Yunlan led a group of people to decorate it inside, making the originally tacky looking shop antique and full of charm.
"Hey, Xi'er!"
Li Yunlan was instructing someone to place the things she bought back in the designated place, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Jiang Xi standing at the door of the shop with a smile, and a woman about her age stood next to her, with clear eyebrows.
Li Yunlan commanded two more words, and then walked over slowly, her eyes falling on Li Xuemei.
"This is your cousin."
Li Xuemei nodded at Li Yunlan, and the moment she saw Li Yunlan just now, she was stunned. Before this, she had never seen someone like Li Yunlan who didn't seem to eat fireworks.
If you want to talk about appearance, Jiang Xi is better looking than Li Yunlan, but Li Yunlan has a temperament that does not eat the fireworks of the world, which others can't learn. Anyone, when they saw Li Yunlan for the first time, would be surprised and sigh that there was such a person at this time.
"Hello, I'm Li Xuemei." Li Xuemei was stunned for a long time before finally speaking.
Li Yunlan smiled and said, "Hello Miss Li, the two of us have the same surname, maybe the ancestors are still a little close, so there is no need to be so restrained." How old is I to be you, if you don't dislike it, just like Xi'er, just call me Sister Yunlan. ”
"Cloud ...... Sister Yun Lan. Li Xuemei's voice stammered a little, she really couldn't imagine how Li Yunlan was such a perfect person, and she was so close to people, and she didn't dislike her at all because she was from the countryside and mountains. I'm afraid of fairies, so that's all I can do.
Before, she had been reluctant to contact Jiangxi's friends in the provincial capital, because she was worried that they would look down on her. When she was in the county seat, Li Xuemei's emotions were not very obvious, and she could still scold her when she was humiliated by Du Ruoxi. But when she arrived in the provincial capital, the inferiority complex in her heart came out, but she didn't usually show it, so Jiangxi didn't notice it.
The first person I saw now was Li Yunlan, which made the depression and inferiority complex in Li Xuemei's heart fade a lot, and the corners of her mouth slowly hooked up a smile. The people in this provincial city are really different from those in the county.
"It's still being renovated today, and you don't even have a place to sit when you come, I'm really sorry." Li Yunlan's face showed apology, and Jiang Xi took her hand, "Sister Yunlan, if you say that, I really won't come in the future." ”
"You! Still so. ”
"Originally, what is the relationship between the two of us, you still say these unseen words."
"Okay, okay, then I won't talk about it."
A smile appeared on Li Yunlan's face again, and Jiang Xi was relieved to look at it, it seems that choosing a shop to open a pottery shop in the past few days has indeed made Li Yunlan forget about the previous unhappiness. As long as it takes a long time, Li Yunlan will definitely be able to recover completely.
