Chapter 53: The Opening

On the sixth day of the first month, the weather is sunny, cloudless, and the sun is shining.

There are a lot more pedestrians on Ping'an City Road, some take cars, some pull cars, some walk, some carry burdens, and some carry baskets......

At the beginning of the new year, the industrious Chinese people began to run for their livelihood again after the new year.

The war must be fought, the money must be earned, as long as the devil does not blockade it, it will not stop the pace of the people.

If you don't make money, how to support your family, how to live, the more troubled the times, the more hard work you have to pay.

This year, the beginning of spring is early, and the weather on the sixth day of the new year can already make people feel warm.

The implementation of the gun ban made Xu San feel that the opening of the New Year was a little less ceremonial.

The little girl Xu Dongmei is wearing a red padded jacket and holding a bear to help her mother clean up the store, and Xu San's side is just a simple wipe, as a four-body industrious, it is not easy for him to wipe the counter.

Two high-end bears and three low-grade bears were added to the shelves, and the difference in price was twenty times.

The reason why this price is made is because Xu San just wants to make money from big dogs.

As for the low-grade ones, he doesn't want to make money, he mainly wants to enrich the spiritual life of the children in Ping'an County.

The pimped cat that could attract customers was placed on the left side of the shop, just enough to envelop Ma Cuilan's tailor shop within a five-metre radius.

I bought a lot of mountain goods from the villagers who went to the city, and some small handicrafts that didn't take up much space, which can be regarded as continuing to enrich the inventory of the small shop.

The things of the fellow are really cheap, and the dried matsutake mushrooms the size of the ocean are enough to buy three catties for a dime. This thing is delicious, but it is too expensive, it turns out that in the supermarket, the kind that is only the size of a fingernail costs more than 500 pounds.

Pack up, keep accounts, increase the price, and put all the things that can be placed on the shelves, and put the larger ones in the back compartment of the store.

I picked the smallest basket and gave it to the little girl to put on the bear, so that she could free up her hands to help her mother work.

A morning passed quickly, Xu San only sold a pack of matches here, and Ma Cuilan was better than her, and received two pieces of work to change clothes.

Looking at the three poles on the sun, Xu San pondered:

Why can't the bear be sold?

This workmanship, this material, is only sold for two oceans, not expensive.

Even if you think it's expensive, isn't there a cheap one next to it, so you buy it for a dime.

"Brother, how is the morning business?" Ma Cuilan handed over the changed clothes to the customer, and walked out of the counter to chat with Xu San.

"I sold a pack of matches one morning." Xu San said weakly.

"That's right, didn't you often drive for a day and not be able to sell anything?" Ma Cuilan said with a smile.

As an old neighbor for several years, she still knows very well what Xu San's grocery store is like.

Xu Sanyi thought, it is indeed true, he has been fishing for three days and drying nets for ten days, so it is strange that he can sell things.

"Sister-in-law, did you do those skins?" Xu San asked about the bear's clothes, and he wondered if he would be able to attract the attention of others if he put clothes on the bear.

"I made two small coats and a foreign skirt, and I didn't do the cheongsam you said, I think the bear is too fat and doesn't look good in the cheongsam. And the pictures you drew of those clothes, my sister-in-law can't understand it. ”

Well......

Xu Sannao made up for it, the fat bear really doesn't look good in a cheongsam.

As for those blueprints...... Probably a little too abstract.

"By the way, how much does your bear sell for?" Ma Cuilan asked curiously.

Xu San quoted the price.

Ma Cuilan looked incredulous, "One point and two oceans!?" ”

"There are cheap ones too."

"That's too much difference. Your price, if you can really sell it, is enough for you to eat for a month. As a person who works and cooks, of course he knows the cost of those bears, even if it is a low-grade bear for a dime, she also thinks that Xu San is expensive.

"No, it's a month and a half for the two of us."

Ma Cuilan covered her mouth and laughed: "You are very clear." ”

"Didn't you say it, my brother will settle the account."

As he spoke, the door to the opposite door opened, and a middle-aged man in his thirties stepped out of it.

The middle-aged man wore a top hat, a dark gray gown, and a pair of leather shoes on his feet, looking neat and clean.

This man Xu San didn't know, and in his memory, it was an old couple on the other side.

"Sister-in-law, aren't we two old men and old men at the door? I remember that there seemed to be no one else in his house? Xu San asked.

Ma Cuilan seems to know this person, and she saw him a few days before the Chinese New Year, "The house opposite has been sold, and the old man and his family have left, as if they are going back to their hometown." ”

Judging from his clothes and demeanor, Xu San could tell that the person in front of him should be from a big city.

After the middle-aged man opened the door, he walked straight in front of Xu San, arched his hand, and made a gesture: "Happy New Year for the two shopkeepers!" ”

Xu San and Ma Cuilan also arched their hands and said, "Happy New Year." ”

"Business is booming!"

"Thank you."

After the greetings, the middle-aged man introduced his origin, his name is Tian Wang, he came from Taiyuan, went to Ping'an City to do some business, and the reason why he bought the house on the right door was because he had seen it with a master, and said that the feng shui on the opposite side was good.

Tian Wang first looked at the materials in Ma Cuilan's shop, and then looked at the samples that Ma Cuilan hung aside for display.

Ma Cuilan's craftsmanship is very good, and he is very satisfied with it, so he directly ordered three small coats, saying that he was going to wear them for his buddy in the future.

As soon as Xu San saw this posture, he knew that Tian Wang's business should not be small, and before the business was opened, he customized the uniform in advance.

Surname Tian?

Taiyuan?

Could it be that the little rich woman sent her to retaliate?

But come to think of it, it shouldn't be.

The little rich woman is also a revolutionary worker, she should not be so cautious, and her identity is sensitive, she will not be ignorant of the severity.

However, Xu San was wrong.

The little rich woman really wants to retaliate, and she wants to borrow a knife to kill someone.

Tian Wang did come to Ping'an County to do business, but this was not Tian Xue's idea, but the old man of the Tian family's idea.

In order to better support the Eighth Route Army, the old man specially sent his henchmen to serve as the treasurer of the Ping'an County branch.

The ancients were superstitious and believed in feng shui.

So Miss Tian bought Mr. Feng Shui and deliberately chose the address of the shop at the opposite door of Xu San's house.

The purpose is very simple, that is, I sell what you sell, and the price is low on my side.

However, Miss Tian's abacus was probably wrong, because Xu San didn't care what his store could sell.

After Tian Wang paid the fixed amount, he came to Xu San's shop.

His idea is very simple, the neighborhood and neighbors, the coming day is long, the two small businesses on the door, in the future, they will not look up and look down, this is the sixth day of the first month, it can be regarded as opening a business, taking care of the business, and it can be regarded as getting closer to the relationship.
