On the first day of July, it is the day when the new shop is opened.

Early yesterday morning, Chu Yi and Shen Songjie hung the plaque carved by Chu Yi himself on the top of the shop in the east courtyard, and Shen Luzhu also went to Aunt Sun's cloth village to buy a red cloth and cover it with an auspicious picture.

As soon as the auspicious time arrived, firecrackers exploded in the open space in front of the shop in the east courtyard of the Chu family, and the lively and festive sound instantly attracted many people to stop.

As soon as the sound of firecrackers fell, the little couple listened to the advice of Aunt Sun next door, and the invited gong and drum team and lion dance team appeared on the stage.

As the drums and music became more and more intense, the movements of the lion dancers became more and more complicated, under the enthusiastic gaze of the crowd, the red male lion actually stepped directly on the back of the yellow male lion, and then jumped up, jumped directly to the same height as the plaque of the Chu family shop, opened his big mouth, and ripped off the red cloth covered by the plaque, and the four big characters of "Chu Ji Funeral" appeared in front of him.

Just as everyone sighed, the male lion turned and leaped, and instantly returned to the ground steadily. At the same time, the sound of the drums also came to an end, and with the last drum beat, the two lions stood up together in tacit understanding, and a couplet fell out of their mouths, wishing the owner a prosperous business and a prosperous fortune.

A unique lion dance performance attracted a lot of customers for the Chu family shop, and then Jiang Quan and Shen Songjie greeted them hard, and attracted many customers to enter the store. Look at the book

"Boss, what is this in your house, this is paper money for the dead?"

The man asked the common sentiment of everyone, have they begun to use gold and silver ingots for the dead in these years? There were even people who retreated one after another, until they retreated to the outside of the shop, stared up at the plaque for a long time, and muttered to themselves, "That's right, it's a funeral shop!"

Some people who stayed outside the door and didn't plan to enter the shop, seeing that he was behaving so strangely, stepped forward and asked, "Dude, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with his shop?"

The man hurriedly grabbed him, pointed to the plaque on his head and asked, "Those four words are Chu Ji funeral, I am not mistaken?"

"That's right, it's Chu Ji's funeral, what's wrong with you?"

The man didn't explain, but pulled him and walked to the shop: "You come with me."

When the other people outside the shop saw it, they were all very puzzled, and they were all curious about what special things were in this funeral shop.

Shen Luzhu stood at the counter and patiently explained to everyone the two amazing Yuanbao Mountains: "Auntie, you really laugh at it, the funeral shop we opened, the things sold in this shop are naturally all objects used for sacrifice at the grave!"

"You little daughter-in-law, don't fool us, who hasn't seen the paper money burned at the grave, how can there be something like your family?"

"That's it, that's it, you're obviously a gold and silver ingot, who went to the grave to burn this precious object?"

Shen Luzhu smiled: "Auntie, I really didn't lie to you, you think, if I have so many gold and silver ingots at home, then who will come out to do business and make money, I have been lying down and counting silver all day long." But there is one thing, aunt, you are really right, this one in our family is really called ingots, but it is not gold and silver ingots, but paper ingots specially for the deceased."

"Made of paper? Oops, this ...... It's too similar, isn't it?"

Chu Yi took down a few paper ingots from the display cabinet behind him and handed them to the people around the counter, while Shen Luzhu continued to explain: "If you don't look like it, how can you be embarrassed to take it out and sell it to all the aunts and uncles, our paper ingots are a little different from the ordinary paper money selling method, they are sold by the number, and if you buy ten, you will only be charged forty yuan."

"Forty and ten? That's not cheap, we usually buy burning paper for 20 yuan a knife, buy your ten ingots, but we can buy two dollars."

For the first time, people in the county town heard about it

This paper ingot, I think it is normal to have no yellow burnt paper, the little couple has made expectations in advance, but they are not panicked, and continue to introduce with a smile.

"Uncle, don't look at this seems to be the same price, but it is not as much as the yellow burnt paper, but our paper ingots are different from ordinary burnt paper in our hands, just like ......."

Seeing that his wife paused, as if she hadn't thought of any good analogy, Chu Yi added in a timely voice: "It's like going to give gifts, although they are all the same, but one or two silver is always better than the usual copper coins."

Shen Luzhu glanced at Chu Yi with a smile, and nodded hurriedly in affirmation, "That's right, that's it!"

The old man also seemed to think that there was some truth: "That's right......

"It's okay, uncle, if you think this paper ingots are not to your liking, we have other paper money to choose from, in addition to the yellow burnt paper and white money that can be seen in the ordinary, our family also has a kind of paper called copper coin burnt paper, I will show you."

As soon as Shen Luzhu's words fell, Chu Yi had already tacitly taken a knife of copper money to burn paper, skillfully dismantled it and distributed it to all the potential customers present.

"Your paper money is quite special, why are there so many holes in this, why does it still look familiar?"

Shen Luzhu picked up a piece of copper coin burning paper, stood up and displayed: "Of course it's familiar, auntie, you see, all the engraved on our paper money are copper coins, this is called copper coin burning paper."

"Oh, don't say it, it's really a copper coin."

Everyone looked at the light, but no, Fang Cai really didn't associate it with copper coins, but now that I learned about it, the more I looked at it, the more I looked like it.

"How do you sell this copper coin burnt paper?"

"This is more expensive than ordinary yellow roasted paper, thirty dollars a knife, but now our shop has just opened, there are preferential activities, if you buy five dollars, you will get a knife."

The eldest ladies and aunts calculated in their hearts, and it seemed that this plan was much more suitable, but in the face of new things, they were still somewhat cautious: "Little daughter-in-law, is this easy to use in your family? I'm afraid it's better to buy it back and burn it without yellow burning paper, this looks like it's going to be the Midyear Festival, if it's easy to use, I'll buy more."

"Auntie, I won't tell you how much more expensive my paper money used to sell in the village, but they all lined up to buy it, and the aunts and aunts in the village all said that my family's paper money is more prosperous than yellow burnt paper, and it is said that the ancestors of the family like this kind of paper money, so they burn it exceptionally well."

"Really?"

Shen Luzhu nodded very seriously: "Of course, what did I lie to you, auntie, if you buy it back and the fire is not prosperous, if you look back and say it to the neighbors, my business will be completely yellow."

"Nacheng, then I will believe you, what kind of copper money burns paper to give me five dollars, buy five dollars, and you will give me a knife, right?"

Shen Luzhu's eyes rolled, and continued: "Auntie, these activities of ours today are only because they have just opened, and after the Midyear Festival, they will all return to the original price, I see that you are the first to trust me today, I will give you a discount, our family has bought enough 200 Wen in the past few days, you can apply for a member, today you only need to buy ten more paper ingots, although it is not 200 Wen, but I will also do one for you, so that even if these preferential activities are not there in the future, you are a member, every time you spend 200 Wen, you can give you 20 Wen cheaper, Do you think so?"

It was the first time that everyone had heard of this thing called "member", and they were a little confused: "You, a member, have you been cheap ever since?"

"Yes, auntie, I'll write down your name, and then you come back, as long as you buy enough for 200 wen, and then report your name, I'll give you 20 wen cheaper, which is equivalent to 10% cheaper, don't look at this time 20 wen is not much, but this is the four festivals every year, who's household paper money is a lot, and it can be a lot cheaper when you calculate it, our membership is limited, and it can only be done for fifty people, auntie, you have thought about it, do you want to do one?"

The eldest lady was stunned by Shen Luzhu's words, and nodded hurriedly in response: "Nacheng, Nacheng, I'll buy ten more paper ingots, you can get me that membership, I'll come to your house to buy it in the future!"

"It's done!"

With the first one there will be the first

Two, someone saw that this lady seemed to have made a big bargain, and heard that there was a limit on the number of people, so they hurriedly scrambled and said, "Boss, I will also buy a copy of what she just said, and you can also get one for me, what kind of membership are you talking about?"

Shen Luzhu looked a little embarrassed, pretended to ask for a moment, and then seemed to have made some major decision: "As usual, I have to buy enough paper money for 200 Wen...... However, if I favor one over the other, I'm afraid you won't come to my shop in the future, that's it, I'm happy on the first day of opening today, so I'll just give you some benefits, and if the big guy buys enough 190 Wen today, my family will give everyone a member!"

"Then I want it too, so do I!"

"The proprietress is so generous, this business will definitely be prosperous in the future!"

"That's it, if it's good, we'll all buy it at your house in the future!"

Shen Luzhu replied with a smile: "Uncle, you can rest assured, my family's paper money is guaranteed to be easy to use."

Grandpa Shen took Father Shen and Third Uncle Chu to stand on the side of the shop, watching several juniors busy and holding hands from time to time, and he was very emotional for a while.

"Lu Zhu is a different child when she is a child, other people's female dolls like to pick flowers or make a puppet or something, but she likes to read and write, and her little head is also smart, and the boys in the family are tricked by her all day long."

Father Shen thought about the scenes that his father said, and it was as if they happened yesterday: "No, when I was a little older, I was still worried with her aunt, my own daughter is so stubborn, and I don't know if it will be good to find a good family in the future, who would have thought that this grandson would be called grandpa now."

Third Uncle Chu has always been the most satisfied with Shen Luzhu, and at this time, he naturally praised without hesitation: "Luzhu is the most intelligent and capable, if it weren't for Ayi being lucky enough to marry her, the family would not be in such a good situation now."

Grandpa Shen laughed loudly when she heard this: "Her third uncle, I'm afraid you haven't seen her fooling people when she was a child, it's just the same as now, hahaha!"
