021: Chang Niangzi is too good at spending money
Clothing, food, housing and transportation cover all aspects of human life, and as long as you live in this world, you can't do without these four things.
Clothes, in this era is nothing more than silk, cotton and linen as raw materials, woven by looms, and then cut into ready-to-wear garments on the body, it seems that there are not many links, but there are a lot of patterns in this, there are no less than dozens of fabrics alone, there is no certain understanding of this knowledge, it is impossible to get involved in this industry, of course, the rich and bold are counted, in front of capital, everything is not a problem.
"Don't think about this, it's not something that can be played at a small cost."
Zhang Yingda thought deeply of Chang Xi's words, with his pitiful cost, let alone doing this business, it was difficult to buy a decent set of clothes.
In terms of living, it is even simpler, in a word, it is the house and the house-related trades, such as wood, bricks and tiles and other raw materials related to the construction of the house.
In ancient times, there was a mason who specialized in this, and this was a skilled worker.
"In other words, if you want to get involved in this business now, it's no different than if you were carrying a big bag at the docks, and with your small size, people don't need you to be an apprentice."
It is the same to sell a lot of labor in exchange for that little money that is only enough for living, and it also requires a certain amount of craftsmanship, which has nothing to do with getting rich.
Zhang Yingda looked at Chang Xi angrily, this woman's mouth was really damaged.
"I didn't want to be an apprentice."
Chang Xi glanced at him, "Even if you want to go, you can't find a way." ”
Don't think it's easy to learn art, in ancient times, the life of an apprentice was very hard, and it was not so easy to enter the industry, and Zhang Yingda's father didn't do it.
She thought about it for a while, and then remembered that Zhang Yingda's father was a fangya, and what he did was to buy and sell and rent houses.
So before Zhang Yingda protested, she said again, "I'll take it back, your father is Fang Ya, and your family's work still has something to do with the house......"
"I don't rely on him." Zhang Yingda gritted his teeth with a cold face and said.
His father has no ability, he has a big temper, he pawns his mother out for money, and treats their brothers and sisters harshly, which is simply inferior to pigs and dogs.
Chang Xi could see that this half-grown teenager's hatred for his father was about to penetrate into the bone marrow, but she didn't persuade everyone in the world to say anything like parents, because she also had a scumbag father in her previous life, and she knew what it was like to be a child of this kind of scum.
"As for the line, you can't reach the chariots, horses and ships, so to sum up, the first pot of gold you can dig can only be food."
The knowledge of food is great, and it is indispensable for people to live in the world every day, and the business opportunities are more abundant.
Zhang Yingda listened to Chang Xi very carefully and carefully, and after such an analysis, he was indeed the only one he could do.
However, he spread his hands and said with an embarrassed face, "I am not good at cooking, in your words, the restaurant does not accept kitchen apprentices like me, and they will think I am a small ...... when I run the hall."
The last voice was as thin as a gnat, and he had protested that Chang Xi was a child before, but now he slapped himself in the face, and he felt a little pain in his teeth.
Chang Xi didn't take the opportunity to make fun of his dead brain, but saw that there was a rather busy section of the road in front of him, and there were people selling anything on the side of the road, so he ordered the sedan chair driver to stop the sedan chair.
Mama Luo has not interfered too much with Chang Xi's conversation with the half-grown boy, which can be regarded as very accommodating, and now seeing Chang Xi asking to stop the sedan chair, she hurriedly stepped forward and bent over and said, "Chang Niangzi, who are you?" ”
Chang Xijing walked out of the sedan chair, looked directly at Mama Luo and said, "I felt a little stuffy after walking all the way in the sedan chair, and I wanted to come down to breathe." ”
She was not asking for Mama Luo's opinion, but informing her decision.
After her careful observation, the atmosphere of this dynasty was not very conservative, and there were many women walking around the streets, even unmarried girls, so it was not abrupt to walk on the road like her.
Mama Luo opened her mouth and wanted to persuade twice, but when she saw Chang Xi's firm eyes, she suddenly knew that if she said more, she would have touched Chang Xi's frieze, so she stretched out her hand with a smile and said, "I'll help you." ”
Chang Xi waved his hand and rejected her proposal, she didn't have seventy or eighty, what did she want someone to help her?
She walked straight forward, ignoring the rest of the family behind her.
Xiao Tao followed Chang Xi's actions closely, she didn't even look at Mama Luo, she raised her feet and followed behind Chang Xi, and then glanced at Zhang Yingda who came up, she would be hostile to this person before, but seeing that Chang Xi was very unusual to him, she put away her suspicions and began to face this half-grown teenager who was only younger than her.
Dong Li didn't follow at the first time, but looked at Mama Luo.
Mama Luo gave her a look, and she hurriedly caught up with the three-person team in front.
Mama Luo could only walk at the back with the two sedan chair drivers who carried the empty sedan chair.
Chang Xi saw that there were actually sugar gourds sold in the summer, which was quite novel, so he directly asked Xiao Tao to buy seven strings, one string per person.
Mama Luo took the sugar gourd with ice gas that Xiao Tao shared, and was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Chang Xi to bring herself when she bought snacks, and her mouth was sweet, and she didn't remember Chang Xi's actions.
As for the two palanquin drivers, they were even more happy to eat sugar gourds, and for the first time they enjoyed the same treatment as their masters, this errand was quite easy, both of them were very satisfied, and they still thought that the next time Chang Xi was going to leave the house, they would have to compete for errands.
Zhang Yingda was not very reluctant to eat this expensive snack, but wanted to keep it for his sister to eat, but this did not prevent him from observing the people who had benefited from Chang Xi, and saw that even the bitter-faced grandmother had stretched her eyebrows and eyes at this moment, which showed that this little favor could envelop people's hearts, and he seemed to have learned something.
Chang Xi took a bite, sweet and sour, it was quite appetizing to eat in the summer, and it was hard for this person to think of using the iced method to sell this kind of snack in the summer, and the things that were out of season were not cheap, sure enough, as soon as she turned her head, she saw Xiao Tao wrinkling her little face.
"Isn't it delicious?" She teased Little Peach.
Xiao Tao made a bitter face, "It's delicious, it's just too expensive, this string of things is only five or six copper plates in winter, and now it is actually sold for twelve or thirteen copper plates, Chang Niangzi, isn't this stealing customers?" ”
It's too expensive, even if it's not her money, she can't bear it, Chang Niangzi is too good at spending money.
A few days ago, Mama Zhong sent a dozen taels of money before it was hot, and Chang Niangzi gave the godmother three taels of ceremonies, and now she has spent so much money to buy sugar gourds, her heart is dripping blood just thinking about it, after all, she only has a poor baby of silver for one or two months a month.
Chang Xi knew at a glance that Xiao Tao was spending money and was heartbroken, so he smiled comfortingly, "As long as you eat happily, it's worth it." ”
Money is used to spend, in this regard, she never knew what to save, after all, some money cannot be saved, otherwise the team is not easy to bring, didn't you see Mama Luo and the others have no opinion?
"Chang Niangzi, it's good if you're happy." Xiao Tao said weakly, she didn't want to argue about anything, anyway, she just ate it now.
This little peach has more and more appetite for Chang Xi, so Chang Xi is now more and more tolerant of her.
It's just that when she turned her head and saw Zhang Yingda, who was reluctant to eat the sugar gourd that was about to melt, she suddenly frowned, "If you don't eat it, it will melt, and the syrup will melt faster in this weather." ”
Zhang Yingda noticed that the syrup outside the sugar gourd in his hand was about to melt, and he immediately took a bite in pain, and suddenly the sweet and sour taste exploded in his mouth, and he couldn't help but close his eyes in enjoyment, it was so delicious.
However, before he could enjoy it for too long, he heard Chang Xi's question, "What do you think after eating this string of sugar gourds?" ”
Zhang Yingda opened his eyes instantly, and put aside his regret for not being able to leave the delicious food to his sister for the time being, and after thinking for a while, he replied, "He sells things that others don't have, and he can take the opportunity to raise the price, so as to make a lot of ......money."
As he spoke, a lot of light flashed through his mind, and he was eager to catch it.
Chang Xi looked at the half-grown boy who stopped and pondered in the middle of speaking, smiled slightly, and did not urge him, but slowly walked around the market by himself.
Just didn't take a few steps, Zhang Yingda chased after him eating sugar gourds.
"I'm telling you, this trick is called Hope is more expensive." Chang Xi slowly spoke, "You have to find business opportunities in daily eating, and it is a business opportunity that you can operate at a small cost......
As she was talking, she found that Zhang Yingda did not follow, she stopped and followed his gaze, and there were a few listless vegetable sellers squatting there.
She walked over by herself, and Zhang Yingda hurriedly followed.
She stopped in front of a stall with only a few cucumbers and eggplants left.
"Auntie, how do you sell this dish?"
When the woman selling vegetables saw someone coming to ask the price of the vegetables, she immediately became energetic, "This lady, you see that it is not early in the day, I have to rush back to the village, and I will sell all the vegetables to you, so I will ask for three, no, two copper plates." ”
