Chapter 117: Shop Income
Bao Li and the others left, and Xu Lingzi used the half-baked nautical knowledge he learned in the past two days to drive the boat to a remote coast, and when he saw that there was no one around, he put the boat into the space.
It was too exhausting for him to sail by himself, and it was not as convenient as taking a boat.
Two days later, Xu Ling arrived in Quanzhou on someone else's merchant ship, and found a no-man's place to release the ship.
This time, it took some effort to sail the ship to the inner harbor wharf of Quanzhou.
The ship docked at the dock, and Xu Ling stacked the ripe cabbage and radish and other vegetables in the space into the warehouse, and then went to the shop to find someone to unload the goods.
Xu Ling left for seven days, the promotion of the grocery store has ended, there are not many customers coming and going, Lu Chun is sitting at the counter tapping the abacus.
The guys in the shop are entertaining customers.
"The owner!?" When a guy named Wu Hao saw Xu Ling, he hurriedly put down his feather duster and shouted.
When Lu Chun heard that the owner was coming, he also hurriedly stood up.
"Boss, you're finally back."
In the past few days, Lu Chun has been really miserable. Since he became Xu Ling's shopkeeper, he has to worry about everything, helping to rent the shop and not mentioning, how can there be a matter of the owner going out on the second day of opening?
The goods in the store were sold out quickly, and the things in the warehouse were all moved by him to sell out, seeing that the supply was about to be cut off, and many things were missing, he wanted to find Xu Ling but couldn't find it, it was really sad for him!
Xu Ling put down his bags and said to Lu Chun with a smile: "It's nothing to do these days, right?" ”
"How can it be okay! There's a lot going on! Lu Chun complained in his heart, he didn't have to worry so much before.
Pulling Xu Ling into the back room, Lu Chun vomited bitterness.
"There are many restaurants in the city that want to talk to us about cooperation, saying that they want to buy vegetables from us, and the prices are very good, but the dishes in the warehouse are not enough, and I haven't promised them yet, what do you think of this matter?"
"What are the restaurants?"
"Drunken Fragrance Building, Piaoxiang Building, and Cuiyun Pavilion...... Among them, Cuiyun Pavilion had the highest bid, and their shopkeeper said that no matter what price other families offered, she was willing to pay an extra penny. ”
Although it doesn't sound like much to give a penny more than a pound of vegetables, it can add up to a lot, and it definitely makes a lot for a long time.
Xu Ling didn't know much about these restaurants in Quanzhou, so he sat down and poured himself a cup of tea and beckoned Lu Chun to sit down as well.
"Which of these do you think is more suitable for cooperation?"
Lu Chun sat opposite Xu Ling stiffly.
"If the owner wants to make more money, it must be Cuiyun Pavilion, but Cuiyun Pavilion...... It's the land of fireworks. If the proprietor cooperates with them, wouldn't it be ...... for others to mention us in the future?"
Lu Chun has his own understanding of business, he used to be a shopkeeper in a pawnshop, and he heard that a doctor in a medicine hall often went to see a woman in the Qinglou, and over time, it was rumored in the market that the doctor would only see those dirty diseases.
On weekdays, I don't go to that medicine hall when I have a cold cough.
He was also afraid that the same problem would occur in the grocery store.
Xu Ling smiled: "If you want me to say, you are really worried." We're just a supplier, we don't have such a big face, and we won't be tied to others because of these dishes. If they bid high, sell it to them. ”
Lu Chun silently wrote, "Then tomorrow I will go to Cuiyun Pavilion to talk to the bustard's mother about this?" ”
"Okay, I'll leave that to you."
Xu Ling said again, "There is another batch of goods from the dock warehouse, you can take someone to order the goods." It's about to be the New Year, and the man's monthly silver will be sent in advance, when will the shop be closed, you look at it, I'm going home for the New Year, and it is estimated that I will come after the New Year. ”
"Ahem......" Lu Chun was drinking water, and when he heard that Xu Ling was about to leave again, he choked on a mouthful of water.
Xu Ling saw that his face was red from choking, and he couldn't stop coughing, so he hurriedly patted him on the back.
"How old are you to be so careless?"
Lu Chun hurriedly waved his hand, held back his cough and asked, "Where is the owner's hometown?" If there's something going on in the store......"
"You just have to look at it."
Xu Ling said to him earnestly: "Since I chose you among so many people, it is because I believe that you have this strength. I'm doing business abroad, you are responsible for guarding the shop, if you do a good job, wait for the shop to stabilize next year, we will revise the deed and give you dividends? ”
The cake painted by Xu Ling is large and round.
Lu Chun hesitated for a moment, still feeling that something was wrong, "But there are some things that I can't make up my mind." ”
Xu Ling doesn't have a doppelganger technique, he can't look at the shop for a long time, he can only cultivate people he trusts, according to him, Lu Chun doesn't want to forge ahead, and it is impossible to expect him to develop a career, but it is very suitable to be a keeper.
I didn't see that in the past few days since he left, Lu Chun had done everything he had ordered in an orderly manner. What a peace of mind.
However, Lu Chun's lack of ambition is not all a good thing, for example, now, Xu Ling has to ask him patiently: "What do you mean?" ”
Lu Chun thought about it and stammered: "Talking about business......"
"Give priority to those who keep integrity, and if they are all the same, choose those with more money." Xu Ling said directly.
He's here to talk about it?
Lu Chun made a bitter face and was silent.
Xu Ling said with a smile: "You can do what I say, if I don't tell it, you can delay it for a few days and wait for me to come back to discuss." You can do everything else. ”
"Also, in a few days, a person from Minzhou named Bao Li may come to the shop to look for me, and if he comes, you will leave him as a buddy in the store. If anyone has good quality and cheap goods, as long as it is stable and suitable, we can also sell it in the shop, and receive a small commission. ”
Xu Ling told Lu Chun all the things he had thought of in the past few days.
Lu Chun silently remembered it in his heart.
Xu Ling patted him on the shoulder and encouraged, "Work hard, let's eat and live in the shop, and there will be rewards for every New Year's holiday, if you are honest, you will definitely be able to do a good job." ”
Lu Chun sighed in his heart and agreed, it seemed that he had to go home and ask his father how to act.
Xu Ling arranged the affairs of the grocery store, counted the accounts, and found that in the seven days after leaving, the store had earned three hundred and twenty-eight taels of silver, the porcelain in the store was almost sold out, and the goods brought by the village had been swept away.
In the middle of the night, the cold wind was blowing outside, and the plane trees in the yard had been blown bald, the windows were squeaked, and the candles were shaking a little.
Xu Ling rubbed his cold and stiff hands and put them to his mouth and took a breath of white air.
There are too few types of goods in the shop, and it is really troublesome for him to buy them everywhere alone, but now he has a ship and people, and the matter of transporting porcelain to Lingbao Town can be handed over to Bao Li.
As for the loss during transportation, he gave Yishang an idea before, which could put mung beans and soybeans in the box containing porcelain, which could play a certain buffering role after sprinkling water to sprout.
After being shipped back, it can be sold in the shop, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
At other times, you can also find merchants like Xu Ling before in the city, and buy a large number of goods directly through the Yaren and sell them in the store.
However, the biggest source of income for the store now is the out-of-season vegetables in Xu Ling's space.
Xu Ling plans to rent another warehouse and transport the ripe vegetables in the space in advance before leaving tomorrow.
