Chapter 357: Inspecting the Shop
People who have grown up in different backgrounds and environments have very different ways of thinking about problems and ideals. Lan Yi is also afraid of doing bad things with good intentions.
The second day is not the county market day, and the autumn harvest is not over yet, so the cow-pull shuttle bus sent on Thursday is not open. Lan Yi went to Sister-in-law Niu's house next door to borrow a car, put on a sunspot and drove to the county seat by Zhou Weiji.
Wen Xuan was protected by his father, waving a small whip to drive the car, very happy, asking Zhou Weiji some childish questions from time to time, while Lan Yi chatted with Jia.
"Aunt Yao, I haven't heard you mention your family, I don't know what your family members are." Lan Yi asked curiously, the Jia family rarely mentioned her own affairs, Lan Yi only knew that she grew up in the royal family like her mother Zheng, and she didn't know what other family members she had.
Jia's face was slightly bitter, "I am different from your mother, your mother is the son of the Wang family, and I was sold to the Wang family by my family when I was seven years old. ”
Seven-year-old, Lan Yi looked at the four-year-old Wen Xuan, Lan Yi was a little unbearable, and wanted to comfort Jia's family a few words but didn't know what to say, "Then did your family still come to the Wang family to see you later?"
Jia Shi pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, and let out a sigh, "My mother died of illness when I was six years old, and there was an elder brother in the family who was also sick at that time, and my father sold me to human traffickers because he didn't have the money to grab medicine, and I stayed in the hands of human traffickers for a few days to catch up with the Wang family to choose a maid before being sold, I am already blessed, if I am taken to other places by human traffickers, I don't know what will happen to me." ”
Lan Yi nodded, Jia's appearance is good, if it is really sold by traffickers to some unclean place or family. The end is definitely several times more pitiful than selling into the Wang family. She remembered the scene when she first met Yu as a child, and felt sad. Yu'er was sold because his parents died, and no one in his family wanted to see him. So Li Er's lame man pulled him to sell him in a grand manner; Jia is different, she was sold by her biological father, presumably she is even more uncomfortable.
The legalization of human trafficking is the hatefulness of this society.
"Aunt Yao, did your family contact you later?"
"My family didn't know that I had been sold into the Wang family at first, but when I was ten years old, I went to the ancestral tomb of the Wang family with the main family to worship my ancestors, and I was seen by my family. They recognized me, and they came to see me at the New Year's Day. Jia Shi recalled that when she saw her father, her father pulled her to tears. The scene where they point to their brother and let them recognize each other.
"That's fine." After all, there is a blood relationship, and after all, it is the biological father.
"Yes." Jia Shi replied, lowered his head and stopped talking. There were some things she didn't want to tell anyone else.
Her father went there less than two years after she met her, and it was her eldest brother and sister-in-law who came to see her again. At that time, the Jia family was already a second-class maid of the Wang family. Life is still passable. Her eldest brother and sister-in-law would cry poor every time they came, thinking of a way to ask for money from her, only saying that she was enjoying happiness in the Wang family and forgetting her brother and sister-in-law, so that the family affection between the two would fade.
Although it is not a market day, the county is still lively. Lan Yi parked the carriage in the courtyard behind the Qingshan grocery store, Zhou Weiji rushed to the county office after a few words, and Lan Yi and Jia Shi went to the grocery store to watch around accompanied by Lin Yuan.
Although the grocery store is not crowded, there are many customers, and the neatly dressed shop guys are greeting customers. A scene of thriving business. Lan Yi looked at such a scene, and a sense of pride arose. The scale and scene of this store today are inseparable from the efforts of these people. What could be more exciting than turning an idea into reality.
Jia Shi and Wen Xuan were left to look at the goods in the grocery store, while Lan Yi and Lin Yuan went to the Qingshan Oil Shop and Qingshan Goods Store next to them to take a look.
In order to ensure the exclusive operation in one place, Tsingshan Shangji did not open more shops in Meixian County, but there are only five shops in Qingshan Shangji in Meixian County: in addition to these three, there are Qingshan Oil Mill and Qingshan Fresh Fruit on the edge of the county, and in other areas, they also cooperate with local stores, only because there are Xia Wan and Wang Chengde and others in Meixian County, Lan Yi opened several branches of Qingshan Shangji to Meixian, and the current business situation is also good.
Da Zhou's economy is generally very developed, far more developed than she imagined, it is not a pure agricultural economy, and the urban economic development of some prosperous towns has surprised Lan Yi.
Of course, these are not what she has seen with her own eyes, but from several meetings of Shang Ji, she can also get a glimpse of the situation from listening to Xia Chongxiao and Xia Shun and others.
Although Lan Yi has an inadvertent understanding of history, as a student with a background in economic management, he still has some understanding of the economic situation of the Northern Song Dynasty at the same time in history. The economic prosperity of the Northern Song Dynasty is beyond the imagination of many people, and the most intuitive expression is the unique "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" in the history of world painting. The five-meter-long Qingming Riverside Map records the cityscape of Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty in China in the 12th century and the living conditions of people from all walks of life at that time. It is a witness to the prosperity of Bianjing in those years, and it is also a portrayal of the economic situation of the city in the Northern Song Dynasty.
This picture has been widely circulated in later generations, and it is often quoted by teachers when introducing the history of China's economic development, indicating the economic prosperity in China's history. The economic boom it depicts is more than 100 years later than Lan Yi's era, and it is a period of economic upward and vigorous development.
It is in this context that Lan Yi is more confident in the development of Shang Kee. The macroeconomic situation is optimistic, and only as a physical merchant can there be more room for development.
The development goals and pace of Tsingshan Shangji were designated as "integrity, stable development, and common prosperity" under Lan Yi's proposal, which was also recognized by the shareholders of Shangji, although in the process of formulating, Cheng Xiaoqi held an opposing view, believing that he should take the opportunity to make more money.
Although Shang Ji has increased his shares once this year, Xiao Qi's shareholding has increased, but his shares in Shang Ji are still much less than Lan Yi, Xia Wan and Xia Chongxiao. However, there are also differences in the shareholdings of the various businesses under the name of Tsingshan Shangji, and Xiao Qi's highest shareholding is Qingshan Fresh Fruit Workshop, and his shareholding is the same as Lan Yi's, reaching forty percent. At the regular meeting of the business last month, Xiao Qi strongly advocated buying more fresh fruits that are not easy to store in autumn and canned Qingshan fresh fruits to be sold in various places, and Lan Yi did not object.
Thanks to the psychology of hunting, although Qingshan fresh fruits have not caused such a sensation as peony seed oil, they are also extremely popular in various places, especially this way of storing out-of-season fruits makes people feel curious, and their prices are not high, many people will come to buy and try them. Of course, the bulk buyers are still restaurants, and there are not a few of them who take Qingshan fresh fruits as cold dishes.
Good sales will naturally be imitated, especially in this era without intellectual property rights and patents, this year there has been a fruit processing method similar to Qingshan fresh fruit on the market, fortunately, they have precautions in advance, the key links of making fresh fruit are strictly confidential, so fresh fruit did not appear this year's peony seed oil competition scene.
Lan Yi sighed, rude imitation of this vicious competition is unavoidable, and it has been the case since ancient times.
Listening to the sister-in-law's sigh, Lin Yuan asked tentatively: "Sister-in-law, oh, no, sister-in-law, do you feel a little inappropriate after watching this circle?" (To be continued.) )
