Chapter 139: Identifying Business Opportunities
Weak water thought that the academy was on holiday, and it would have to wait until the New Year to sell it in the academy, "I have been idle for several days during the Chinese New Year, and I don't know if the book will be printed or not." ”
Originally, the brothers thought that they would take advantage of the Chinese New Year to print more books and sell them to the study after the Chinese New Year.
Weak Xuan wasn't worried at all: "Print, of course you have to print, I'm still waiting to open the study!" We could print more books of other kinds. ”
Their books are immortal, different from other people's homes, and they don't have to worry about selling.
After hearing this, Weak Water said: "It's okay to print some other books, but the study doesn't accept books, and we don't have other books to typeset." This depends on buying books and printing them, which is too expensive. ”
The financial resources are not strong enough!
This is not a problem for weak Xuan: "Brother Xuanyuan has many books there, and Mr. Han also has many books, I asked them to borrow them one by one." ”
Mr. Han came to Shaxi County from the capital, why he was several days late, firstly, because he was too old and the carriage did not dare to go too fast, and secondly, because he carried many boxes of books, and the journey was also slowed down.
Weak water was relieved when he heard this.
Alas, my daughter is only three years old, and I feel that I can do better than him as a father!
Whatever the problem is, it doesn't matter where she feels.
The father and daughter drove a carriage down the streets of the city.
At the end of the year, many vendors put their stalls on the street, and Weak Xuan did not return to the carriage, she sat next to her father, looking at the stalls on the side of the road, selling everything, much more lively than every market day she had seen in the city before.
The most are selling candy, nuts, couplets, New Year's paintings, window flowers, and New Year's bonsai.
Especially couplets, when the New Year is over, even the poorest people have to buy a couplet to go home and paste it, so that the family not only looks festive, but also the meaning of the couplet is also their expectation for the new year.
In the past, the brothers from the weak family would write some couplets and draw some New Year's pictures every New Year, Lei Pozi and Liu, and Jiang would cut some window flowers and sell them in the city.
Their family's handwriting is good, the New Year's pictures they paint are good, and the window flowers they cut are more beautiful than those sold by others, and the meaning is good, and they can earn three or five taels a year.
Tomorrow is the New Year, and there are still a few days before Chinese New Year's Eve, so Weak Water decided to buy some red paper and New Year painting paper to go back, write some couplets and draw some New Year paintings to sell in the city.
Although Xuanbao wants to open a study, but there is no shop to release it until now, and I don't know when the study will be opened.
Besides, his own family also has to prepare couplets, and the people in the village, every year the neighbors in the village come to his house to buy couplets, and they also have to give some to some relatives and friends.
There was a study in front of it, and the weak water simply stopped and went in to buy a large pile of cut red paper and paper specially used to draw New Year's pictures.
After buying the paper, Weak Water bought some maltose, sugar gourds, sugar people, baked cakes and other snacks that Weak Xuan and a few children in the family like to eat.
As for the sweets, nuts and other things used to entertain guests during the New Year, he didn't buy them on the street, he planned to go to the grocery store of his sister-in-law's house to buy them, which could be regarded as helping his relatives' business.
Just by the way, I gave them a New Year's gift.
"Dad, flowers have been sold so expensive over the years. It is so expensive, it seems that many people still buy it, and most of them are transported away by a carriage. "Weak Xuan saw that flowers have been sold for so many years, and some flowers are sold for ten taels of silver a pot, and some precious flowers are sold for hundreds of taels of silver a pot.
I didn't expect the flower to be so valuable, but I don't know if the daylily flower is worth it.
But why doesn't anyone sell daylily flowers?
Weak probe probe the brain to look for the same kind.
Weak water: "New Year's flower bonsai is only affordable for rich and noble families, and the price is naturally expensive." The mansion of a large family is big, the yard is also big, there are many houses, and there is a cloister, buy more and put it in the house, under the cloister, it is also festive to watch. And the New Year needs to give New Year's gifts, and many large families will give precious flowers and trees as gifts. ”
Weak Xuan thought of Bo Gu Xuan's backyard, as well as the villa where Xuanyuan's grandmother lives now, except for the flowers planted in the yard in the ground, which basically do not change, but the bonsai placed around them change due to the four o'clock.
In this way, even if it is not the Chinese New Year, those big families should often buy flowers on weekdays.
And she has been playing a lot with Zhang Jie, Yan Jiaojiao and others recently, and she also knows that their family often holds some flower-viewing banquets and the like, and those who read will also hold some poetry meetings, tea friends, flowers and friends, in short, they get together to discuss poetry and the like.
I also know that their home in the capital seems to have a flower room!
Most of the people in Xuanyuan love flowers!
She decided that after the beginning of spring, she would also plant a little more flowers and sell them the next year.
The flowers she raises will definitely be better than the flowers sold here, and she will definitely be able to sell more silver.
The father and daughter looked at the stalls on both sides of the street, thinking about how to make money, and unconsciously walked to the Yongxinglong grocery store.
This grocery store was opened by Xuanbao's aunt, and it was also opened at Liu's eldest sister's house.
There were two or three horse-drawn carriages and carts parked in front of the grocery store, and their carriages were parked a little farther away from the grocery store, and they could be seen at the door of the store, and they were not afraid of being stolen.
The weak underwater carriage carried Xuanbao off the carriage again, and then handed a baked cake wrapped in oiled paper to the driver of the carriage behind the coachman and said, "Uncle, can you help me look at the carriage?" I went to the grocery store to buy something. I just bought this baked cake, it's still hot, the weather is so cold, uncle eat some to warm up his body. ”
The uncle glanced at the baked cake in his hand and waved his hand: "I'll help you look at it, you don't have to burn the cake, it's just a matter of raising your hands." But you have to hurry, I'll be gone in a moment. ”
"Okay, uncle, you're welcome, I'll buy a lot of these baked cakes, uncle eat them while they're hot, I'm sorry for you, you have to leave in a while, just go directly, and I'll come out soon." Weak water insisted on handing the baked cake to the other party.
The other party pushed and gave in, and then took it, this winter, he came out early in the morning to purchase, he was cold, and it was good to eat a baked cake to warm his stomach.
Weak Water took two bags of the New Year's gift prepared for Aunt Xuanbao in the carriage, and there were still them in the carriage, and then pulled Xuanbao into the grocery store.
The grocery store was packed.
In the past few years, there has been no war, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, so at the end of each year, every grocery store in the city is overcrowded, and they are all preparing for the New Year.
Zhang Yecheng saw a guest come in, and subconsciously said: "Guest officer, welcome"
After the words were spoken, he recognized that it was weak water, and surprise flashed in his eyes: "Oh, old man, Xuanbao, you are here!" ”
Weak Water smiled: "Brother-in-law." ”
Weak Xuan had already been told how to say hello, and said sweetly: "Auntie." ”
"Oh, Xuanbao can really speak, and she can call her aunt! Wen Yao, Wen Yao, come here, brother-in-law and Xuanbao are here! Zhang Yecheng turned his head and shouted inside.
