MTL - The Landlord And His Wife-Chapter 141 : stepping over the threshold

Before leaving, Shicheng had not forgotten to ask Liu Xuer to drink the cup of papaya milk. What ulterior motive does he have, Liu Xuer is very clear in his heart, it is really difficult for him to find the papaya! But on this issue... ahem, Liu Xuer and his goals are basically the same...

There are not many people in the Shicheng family now, most of the servants have been brought to the Hanzhong mansion, and there are three or four women who wash and clean in the back house, and Shicheng does not ask them to come to the inner courtyard. Liu Xuer occasionally came to his house, and also came with Shicheng, to get something on the way, or come over to talk or something.

Liu Xuer is still very careful, she understands what to pay attention to in this age. In fact, Shicheng is also a number of people, and he has never done any excessive actions.

Nowadays, Liu Xuer travels by donkey cart. It's not suitable for a big girl to show her face outside, and her family also has this condition.

Shicheng is a ready-made driver. He came out today because he accompanied Liu Xuer to buy raw materials for the workshop. A cart of cloth satin, silk and wool, drove the little donkey cart to send the catkins back to the workshop, and followed Willow and Liu Sen to carry the things in.

Since last year, Willow and Willow have been dashing, and the two have been working all year round, moving and lifting, and their bodies are strong. A big guy.

After unloading the goods, Shicheng went home with Liu Xuer. The whole family came back together. Willow settled the account. Shicheng also had lunch here. After strolling around, I walked out and prepared to go to my shop to have a look.

Grandpa's house?"

Shi Cheng and Liu Xuer looked up and down the people, and they knew it, Shi Cheng smiled and nodded: "Yes, it is here, who is this aunt?"

The woman smiled and nodded, but did not answer, but asked, "Is your lord there?"

Liu Xuer has turned around and called Liu Changgeng: "Dad, someone is looking for it!"

Liu Changgeng and the He family who came back for dinner at noon are still at home, Liu Changgeng is also very comfortable now, and he has to drink tea for a while after lunch, and then go to the workshop with his daughter-in-law, he is drinking tea When Liu Changgeng heard the call, he hurriedly came out to take a look. Seeing that the woman was dressed in a style, he had already made up his mind. With a smile, he invited him into the room and asked Mrs. Zhou to serve tea and pour water.

Shicheng didn't leave either, but turned back: "I'll be waiting...cough cough, I'll leave later."

Liu Sen rolled his eyes: "Brother-in-law, what are you worried about? My sister has made an appointment, and everyone knows about it! It must be for my eldest brother."

Liu Lin laughed, and Liu Shu tugged at his ear angrily and funny: "Have you done the arithmetic problem assigned to you yesterday? I'm almost swinging a fan and carrying a bird cage to walk the birds!"

"What are you talking about, big brother..." Moriko was pulled by his ears and slipped away.

Liu Xuer was also very angry and funny, she turned back to her yard, Shi Cheng wanted to follow, Liu Lin was going to the shop and said with a smile: "Shi Cheng, you should be careful that my mother sees you, too. Pull it out by your ears!"

Shi Cheng said shyly: "What am I...I still have something to discuss with Xuer..." In the latter sentence, what he said was a little sullen. When he thought of the eyes of his mother-in-law, he was indeed a little guilty. Why don't you make your mother-in-law unhappy?

Liu Xuer turned back to him and said, "Go back, what can happen here? You also go and see your family's business."

Shi Cheng had no choice but to agree and went with Liu Lin.

Liu Xuer returned to her house and took out her embroidery work. She has to prepare her own wedding dress and so on. Fortunately, it takes a long time to do it slowly.

While embroidering clothes, she was thinking about business. After doing it for a while, Mrs. Wang came in and said, "Miss, the uncle of the Shi family is back again, and brought someone here. The master and the lady told you to come and take a look."

Liu Xuer put down the embroidery work in her hand, and was quite puzzled: "I didn't just leave, why did you come back? Who is the leader, why did you ask me to take a look?"

"It's a man." Wang said.

Liu Xuer was stunned for a while, then she suddenly came out of the room and hurried to the front.

Shicheng really brought a middle-aged man in his 40s and drank tea in the main room. Liu Changgeng was there to accompany him. Seeing Liu Xuer coming in, Shicheng said: "This is the owner."

Turning his head to look at Liu Changgeng, he still wondered, why did the matchmaker who came to send him away in a blink of an eye?

He came and sat beside Liu Changgeng. Shi Cheng introduced the situation of the middle-aged man. This is the shopkeeper of the Hanzhong Mansion that Shicheng found for her. He actually used to be the shopkeeper for the Shicheng family's shop, but a few years ago, there was something in the family and he had to resign, so the Shicheng family brought the second shopkeeper up. And this family thing is done, but it is not good to go back to the shop.

Stayed for a while, Shicheng looked for someone for Liu Xuer, and remembered him, and asked someone, he was naturally very happy to come out.

This person's surname is Cui, and Liu Xuer calls him Manager Cui. Shopkeeper Cui has also seen a lot of the world. Before coming here, he heard from Shicheng, the former young owner, that the young owner of the Liu family was a girl. Shopkeeper Cui didn’t look down on him at all, and was quite respectful.

Liu Xuer negotiated a salary with him, giving time to go home every month, and the rest of the little things.

Then Liu Xuer was the host. That night, she set up a table in the restaurant of Shicheng's family in the county town and invited the shopkeeper to eat. When Liu Lin came back in the afternoon, Liu Shu, Liu Lin, Liu Changgeng and Shicheng naturally all went. Liu Changgeng has now entered the business circle, and he can say a word or two in general terms.

Liu Shu has to follow the shopkeeper Cui to distribute the goods, write down the general ledger and other things, of course Shicheng has to go, if there is anything, discuss it with Liu Shu.

After eating this meal, the three of them set off with the goods the next day. As for the goods in the shop over there, after repeated consideration and discussion with Shicheng, Liu Xuer decided not to just get a cotton hand to cover the seeds. That way, there will be no seasonal goods for most of the year, which would be too wasteful. . There are three kinds of goods, cotton hand cover and sachet, silk scarf.

After several years of accumulation, it is indeed not a small number. In fact, Liu Xuer had also thought about this before. If it doesn't sell well, wouldn't it be in vain to do these things for so many years? Also takes up funds. For this reason, I have also consulted for a long time on the streets of Hanzhong House.

However, the rabbit fur needs to have a use, and Liu Xuer really can't think of it, there is a more suitable situation for your own home than making a cotton hand to cover the child. Second, after a long period of market research, there is still a market for cotton hand covers in big cities like Hanzhongfu.

The silk scarf was a new item after Liu Xuer and Shicheng discussed it, and it was specially prepared for the shop in Hanzhong Mansion.

The largest silk shop in Hefeng County has been set up. The light and thin silk they specially supplied, Willow Xuer bought it and processed it in the workshop, processing it into a turban shape that is one foot wide and three feet long.

This is specially prepared for summer. The northwest wind and sand are strong, and many women wear headscarves when they go out. But ordinary headscarves are cotton, or blue and white, or simply black.

This silk turban made by Liu Xuer can also be used as a scarf. It is specially prepared for young wealthy women who go out in summer. pretty. Embroidered flowers and birds at the end of the headscarf, it looks very delicate, and the price is the same as that of cotton hands.

As for the sachets, they were made before, and they were still expensive and delicate. In the summer like this, the shops in Hanzhong Mansion also have a main selling item. They can't be like other shops that sell only cotton hand covers. In summer, they are basically playing with flies. Doing business requires an active mind.

Send them away, and the catkins are the last stone to fall to the ground! As for the sales situation, you need to use your brains and engage in some activities from time to time.

After more than ten days, Willow and Shicheng came back, and the shop opened there. When they opened, Shicheng and the others thought about some opening activities, but it was okay. The headscarves and sachets sold well. , and the cotton hand cover actually sold some. Maybe people think it's just opened, and things will definitely be cheaper than when it's the winter season. At this time, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the cotton hand covers are used in winter. Naturally, we can't expect to sell well now.

The matchmaker who happened to come to the house with Shopkeeper Cui last time basically didn't hear Liu Changgeng and He's mentioning it. I guess it was not possible, so they refused at that time.

However, many people in the surrounding villages know the situation of their home. It happens that the willow and willow forest have reached their age. During this period of slack farming, matchmakers keep coming to the door. The feeling of being trampled.

During the last free time before the summer harvest, the uncle He Wenqing came. He brought his aunt directly in the morning, Xiuxiu and his two sons were sitting in the car.

. At home, he called Zhou's to serve tea and desserts to entertain guests.

Liu Xuer also came over to say hello, called Xiuxiu and her two younger brothers to her side, and even prepared a large table of food for the two younger brothers.

Xiuxiu is eleven years old this year, as expected, she is very delicate, wearing a round neck dress in honey and color, sat there, smiled and said to Liu Xuer: "Cousin, do you know what happened to my parents?"

Liu Xuer smiled and shook her head: "How do I know... Is it possible that it has something to do with me?" I already started to murmur in my heart, what's the matter?

Fortunately, Xiuxiu smiled and shook her head: "No, it has something to do with the eldest cousin."

Liu Xuer immediately understood and said, "Are you asking about marriage again? Whose family is this time?"

"Xiaoling from our village plays with me all day long. I mean, I always asked about my cousin a while ago, so I was thinking about this. Her parents came to beg me. Dad, I said a lot of good things about Xiaoling, but Xiaoling is actually not that good..."

Liu Xuer sneered and said, "How old are you, that girl?"

"Two years older than me." Xiuxiu saw the apple on the table, picked it up and took a bite.

Three uncle He Wenyu's apple orchard now has more than a dozen apple trees, and there are six or seven fruit trees in the prolific period. I still like to eat apples. Every time I come back to my side, I have to eat one.
