24 Moving
When you get to the street, you need to find the gentleman who wrote the letter to write a few words, Qin Chuchu didn't dare to say that he was literate, and there was no pen and ink, so this money had to be earned by others.
A square board, a few big words: one pound for every ten catties.
"If you don't eat rice, you will give one pound for ten catties? How can there be such a business! Liu Zigui is very opposed to this.
Qin Chuchu raised his eyelids: "Ordinary rice in the rice grain shop costs two pennies a catty, although our condition is better, but when we first arrive, who wants to choose your family?" ”
People have the psychology of taking advantage of the situation, giving a little discount, and the buyer is greatly satisfied.
Those high-quality polished rice range from three to five cents per catty, and the batch in their hands is actually not much worse than polished rice, and everything is difficult at the beginning, so they have to suffer a little loss at the beginning, in order to open the market.
And this afternoon, time was pressing, they agreed to move out, and they had to find another place to live, and there was really no way to wait for the buyer slowly.
After the big characters were written, Qin Ruoruo actively asked to hold the wooden board, she looked at the black ink on it curiously, and said with a smile: "I recognize this word, it's one!" ”
Traditional Chinese characters are not used here, one is a simple horizontal, so she recognizes it.
"Ruoruo is great~" Qin Chuchu's heart moved, the little girl has not missed the age of studying, but she can't be illiterate.
Families come to the bazaar, and because they don't have a stall to rent, they can't stay in one place for too long, so they can only choose to sell along the way.
The sign of giving one pound for every ten catties was played, and Liu Zigui shouted two sentences in a loud voice, which immediately attracted many onlookers.
"What rice? Don't fool us with some old rice......"
"Yo, look, this grain of rice is not bad!"
The two eldest ladies are knowledgeable, they buy vegetables and rice all year round, and they know whether the things are good or not as soon as they handle them.
"Do you really give one pound for ten pounds?" She asked again, stretching out her two index fingers: "The twenty catties will give two catties!" ”
"Of course it's true, our boards are all hung out, and we can't lie to you." Fang Erniang squeezed out a smile.
Liu Zigui waved his hand at her: "Go, let me come." ”
He picked up the scale rod and asked with a smile: "How many catties do you want, I will show you, and if you don't believe it, you can go back to your own scale when you go home." ”
Qin Chuchu is quite satisfied with his performance, as the saying goes, you can't run away with a three-point smile on your face, no matter how you lose your temper, you always have to smile and welcome people when you come out to sell things.
She helped to hold the cloth bag and load the rice for the eldest lady, and temporarily thought that the cloth bags were all bought, Fang Erniang was distressed, saying that she could save a lot of copper plates by sewing it herself.
Qin Chuchu explained her, if it is feasible to sell rice, she will take it from others and resell it in the future, and it will not be too late to make cloth bags at that time.
The rice bought and sent here was successfully opened, and Qin Chuchu left with Qin Ruoruo, and they still had silk flowers in their hands to take to the east of the city.
The four soldiers divided into two ways and made an appointment to return to the small courtyard to move at the same time.
The things had already been packed, and the sun had not yet set at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, so it was not a hassle to carry things to the new accommodation.
If you can't find a suitable courtyard, you can stay in the inn for one night.
When I was so busy, the days were extraordinarily fulfilling, and time flowed quickly.
Qin Chuchu took Qin Ruoruo to sell out the silk flowers before Shen Shi, the sisters smiled, and those big girls and little daughters-in-law came forward to ask, and walked around the east of the city for a few days, everyone knew that there was such a flower seller.
After finishing the work at hand, it is time to hurry up and get the accommodation for tonight.
Qin Chuchu's preferred location is the north of the city, and he asked many people to inquire about the price, and the price of different streets has its own level, and the first thing is safety.
The security conditions in the north of the city are much better than those in the west of the city, and its rental procedures are not so simple, and a deed is required.
Even if you are looking for a stable place to live, of course you can't just do it, Qin Chuchu doesn't know much about it, so he has to spend a few dollars to inquire.
It just so happened that the pawnshop she had dealt with was not far north of the city, and the fat shopkeeper was very familiar with this area.
Qin Chuchu took Qin Ruoruo to the door, the young man didn't remember them, but he wanted to find the shopkeeper, so he was still very patient to call someone inside.
The fat shopkeeper has quite an unforgettable eyesight, and when he saw Qin Chuchu, his eyes immediately lit up, and he said with a smile: "The little girl is here again?" ”
"How is the shopkeeper doing?" Qin Chuchu stood up and greeted him.
This time, she came not only to inquire about the accommodation, but also to ask him if he needed crystal beads.
Although the material is glass, it is cut in a sparkling and colorful way, which is beautiful. This thing is inexpensive, and she sells it for a lot of profit.
Originally, she didn't plan to sell it to a pawnshop anymore, but this time she had to ask for help, and only the pawnshop didn't ask her where the things came from, so Qin Chuchu simply didn't change buyers.
The fat shopkeeper only sold the small bag of beads a few days ago, and his heart was full of joy, and when he heard this, he immediately said that he would continue to accept it.
got the sweetness, and introduced her to the extra enthusiasm of the north of the city, not only made it clear which street houses are reliable, but also introduced the tailoring masters by the way.
"Little girl, if you need anything, just go to the shop I said, I will not pit you!"
"The shopkeeper is so kind, thank you so much this time!" Qin Chuchu looked down at his coarse cloth clothes, they were all washed, and they really should be changed.
"I'm just opening my mouth, what is there to thank you for." He waved his hand nonchalantly, squinting with a smile on his chubby face.
Seeing that Shen's time had come, Qin Chuchu stood up with his sister and said, "Then we won't delay you too much, and we will come to you with something when we go back." ”
"Don't be in a hurry to leave, it's this hour, I'll write you a letter, or you will have to move in tomorrow!"
"Huh?" Qin Chuchu was stunned, then came to his senses, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be an acquaintance of the shopkeeper?" ”
"I'm not familiar with it," the fat shopkeeper shook his head and said, "How to pass the deed, just let the other party be accommodating, and you can live in it tonight." ”
Qin Chuchu looked at him on the high counter, brushing twice with a brush, and couldn't help but thank him again: "It's really a great help, I don't dare to come empty-handed next time." ”
I thought that this fat uncle would give her some introduction and guidance, so that she would have a score in her heart, but she didn't expect the other party to offer help.
"Haha, we're a pawnshop, but no one came empty-handed, remember it next time!" The fat shopkeeper blinked.
He blew the ink on the letter paper and said, "I only have a little friendship with Lao Zhao, if the house you fancy is not under his control, then I can't help it." ”
Qin Chuchu stretched out his hand to take the letter he handed over, carefully folded it and put it in his pocket, "I know, let's go and take a look." ”
Coming out of the pawnshop, Qin Chuchu felt more confident, there was no one to answer in the city, and it was easy to suffer losses by tossing around.
The dilapidated small courtyard in the west of the city, shared with others, and now it will not be refunded after paying the deposit, that old man Xu is cheating, and no one can do anything about him.
Qin Chuchu said that he reported to the official, but in fact, no one was willing to take care of such a few copper plates.
Therefore, no matter who or what, reliability is the most important, otherwise it will be useless to say that it is good.
Back in the small courtyard in the west of the city, Liu Zigui and the others had already returned, and as soon as the sisters entered the door, they heard his triumphant voice.
"Shameless in the East Wing, phew! What the hell! It's useless to steal from us to make silk flowers, and we will get back nearly a penny in the afternoon when we sell rice, and they won't die if they are red-eyed! ”
Fang Erniang was not as happy as him, and said: "This is a fast sale only if you have to give it away, it's okay once or twice, how many more times do those rice and grain shops not jointly settle accounts with us?" ”
Any buying and selling that disrupts the market price will be attacked by peers, so this kind of thing can't be done more.
However, it is a great good thing for them to be able to sell all the 500 catties of rice in an hour, and it just so happens that the rice brought back by Liu Zigui from Zhupai Village has not yet been threshed, and when the move settles down, they can also deal with it and sell it together.
Qin Chuchu, who came back, heard the two of them's intentions and immediately stopped: "If you want to continue selling rice in the future, you can't do this." ”
"Huh?" Fang Erniang was puzzled: "What can't you do?" ”
"You also ate the rice I brought back, and the taste is sweeter than the home-grown one, and those people bought it for two pennies, and they will understand it after eating it." The grain seed is different, it is enough to polish rice.
Liu Zigui immediately understood what she meant, and then hammered his hand and said: "Then wouldn't we be at a loss, the rice is so good, and it sells for two pennies!" ”
"Didn't Fang Cai's mother say it, there have always been purchases and gifts, and other people's families will definitely come back to find fault if they can't stand it, so what do we do to fight our peers?"
Qin Chuchu knocked on the table: "If the price of good rice does not rise, there will naturally be a steady stream of repeat customers, so the ones grown by themselves are sold to others." ”
Fang Erniang nodded dispensably: "Just listen to Chu Chu." ”
Liu Zigui's rented cart has not been returned, and they just piled up their rice and some bedding and clothes.
Qin Chuchu walked in front with the letter from the fat shopkeeper, and went straight to Yongping Lane in the north of the city, she decided to go there first.
The fat shopkeeper works in a pawnshop, and he usually doesn't introduce people to houses or the like, and ordinary people can't find him, so he doesn't cheat people.
Qin Chuchu took a fancy to a small courtyard, with front and back doors, leading to different streets, and it was extremely convenient to enter and exit.
The courtyard wall is quite old, but the site is not large, and there are all kinds of internal organs, such as halls, bedrooms, wings, and kitchens.
"What do you think of my mother here, one hundred and eighty yuan a month." Qin Chuchu turned his head and asked.
At this time, Fang Erniang and Liu Zigui's expressions were the same, and their brows were furrowed.
Not long ago, they were worried about 500 yuan, and now it costs 18 to rent a house, which is enough for the family's poll tax in three months!
"There's nothing cheaper than this," Qin Chuchu knew that they were reluctant, and said, "The west side of the city costs five cents a day, and it costs one hundred and fifty copper plates for a whole month, which is much better compared to here." ”
Lao Zhao, who was in charge of the house, answered when he heard the words: "Don't look at me here, it's old, but it's really cheap." ”
