MTL - The Landlord And His Wife-Chapter 38 : Three to one
Liu Shu was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out the two taels of silver, and asked in a low voice, "But... that silver should have been provided by Father Shicheng, right?"
Uncle Quan is a servant of the Shicheng family. It is normal for Liu Shu to think this way. In fact, Liu Xuer also suspects that Shicheng's father may have given it to him, but because Liu Shu saw that it was paid by Uncle Quan, then It would not be wrong to return it to Uncle Quan. If Dad Shicheng asked Uncle Quan to pay, Uncle Quan would know to tell Dad Shicheng that the money had already been paid back.
Talk to Willow, and Willow agrees.
The two were murmuring behind their backs. Uncle Quan took two more steps and noticed that the two villains were behind. He stood and waited for a while, and when the two came forward, he asked with a smile: "Do you want to buy something?"
Liu Xuer hurriedly shook her head and handed him two taels of silver with both hands: "Uncle Quan, the last time our Morizi saw a doctor, you paid for the consultation fee, my brother has seen it, This is for you."
Uncle Quan was also stunned for a while, smiled, then took it and said, "Then I will accept it." Then he took out a smaller piece from his arms, cushioned it and said: " This is less than a tael, I found it for you, and the last consultation fee was a little more than a tael."
He simply did it, and Liu Xuer didn't have any uneasiness. She smiled and said, "Thank you Uncle Quan for helping us last time!"
Uncle Quan touched her head with a smile, and said, "You're welcome, let's go, go for a walk."
The two children followed him with a smile, Liu Xuer and Liu Shu looked at each other and were very surprised. After all, the money came unexpectedly, and no one expected it.
But what happened next took all the joy in Xu'er's heart away.
Uncle Quan brought them to the shop to find Shicheng. Fortunately, the second young lady from the Gu family knew that the shop had new products, and came to the shop today. When Liu Xuer entered the door, Shi Cheng ran up and took her hand and whispered, "It's upstairs!"
Liu Xuer was surprised and delighted to know who he was talking about.
Liu Shu came to this shop again, it was a bit baffling, but Liu Xuer had already been pulled in by Shi Cheng, so he could only follow up, and he was still the same as the last time. It was by the door, but this time I was a little more daring, and I dared to look up into the shop to see what was on the container.
Shi Cheng pulled Liu Xuer to a place where no one was there, and said in a low voice, "My father is settling accounts upstairs in the back, he won't come over, the shopkeeper greets Second Young Mistress, I will tell him Now, put your hands over there, and the shopkeeper will show it to her in a while!"
Liu Xuer was surprised, delighted and worried, and asked in a low voice with a smile: "Do you think the second young grandmother likes it? Can you buy it?"
Shi Cheng nodded immediately: "I will definitely like it," and then said: "But you don't have to be too impatient, this kind of thing is impossible to ask for... Maybe if you don't have vision! Cough cough ...you can't put all your hopes on it, you have to think about it later."
Liu Xuer also understood what he meant, and sighed: "I also know that I can't eat a fat man in one bite... Oh, I really need to calm down, I'm too eager to seek success instead of it is good."
Shi Cheng smiled and said in a low voice: "You just understand."
Where the glass is inlaid.
Liu Xuer did not call him, and lowered her voice to Shicheng: "I still have to discuss with you, I have also thought about a lot of things during this time, you say, I will be Are you going to do business, or are you thinking about raising chickens and rabbits?"
Shi Cheng frowned and said, "Didn't you already raise chickens and rabbits?"
Liu Xuer said: "You don't understand what I said... Raising chickens and raising rabbits will depend on selling eggs and rabbit hair from now on, that is to say, it is equivalent to farming, of course, I It is talking about developing in a big way in the future, so that it can be called farming... But a few days ago, I had another idea. I saw the handkerchief made by my aunt, and I have learned how to tie knots and knots for so long. Lanzi, and this hand covers the child... I think, if I can make these small things to sell, slowly if I do it well, it will grow bigger..."
Shi Cheng has fully understood, nodded and said: "Raising chickens and rabbits is easier said than done, raising incidental things at home, and taking care of it alone. Do hand embroidery work and sell it, start One person is fine, but if you want to develop big, you must hire people, and if you want to do it in a big way, it is to open an embroidery workshop."
Liu Xuer blushed and whispered: "I don't dare to think about this."
Shi Cheng smiled and was about to say what was he afraid of? Hearing someone talking over there, he looked up and saw a few guests came in, and the guy hurriedly greeted them. These were young girls wearing ordinary clothes. Purchasing ability, I introduced some cheap handkerchiefs, silk flowers, etc. to them, and sure enough, the girls took a fancy to a few of the silk flowers, and asked each other if they looked good.
Shi Cheng then whispered: "It's nothing to dare to think about, business is not like this, you have to set your own goals. To open an embroidery workshop, you have to open a shop, this kind of There must be a special place to sell things.”
Liu Xuer nodded and said: "That's right, I want to do this... I can't say embroidery workshop, just embroider something and sell it first, and see if it can be used as a way to make money. Just right. I raise rabbits, and I don’t need to sell the rabbit hair I produce. I’m thinking about making things by myself… But now I’m just worried, and I didn’t have a place to sell it at the beginning…”
She said to Shicheng: "This time you asked the shopkeeper to show it. The shopkeeper may not tell your father that he will give you the favor of the young master, but it can't be like this again and again."
Shi Cheng nodded and pondered for a while, Liu Xuer was about to worry, Shi Cheng had already said softly: "I actually thought about it... But I don't know what you think, it's me who sees our family. The shop is a bit messy like this, so I'm going to suggest to my father after the new year, open another shop, and move these odds and ends in the shop there."
Liu Xuer looked at him with wide eyes.
Shicheng explained in a low voice: "I thought, since this shop is for jewelry, there is no need to mix and put silk flowers, handkerchiefs, cotton hands to cover children and so on. It is a jewelry store that specializes in jewelry. It can be divided into grades, just like now, the second floor is high-end, and the first floor is low-end, but it specializes in jewelry and does not mix with other things.”
A rabbit or something will do." He whispered, "I'm going to ask my father to promise me that he will arrange a buddy for me at that shop."
Liu Xuer looked at him in surprise, and whispered: "Don't worry! You, a five-year-old child, made such an opinion, didn't your father doubt it? Besides... how old are you? Want to be a buddy? Don't make people suspicious of you just to help me."
Shi Cheng sneered: "I'm not stupid, of course I won't say it seriously, just pretend to ask him with my child's innocence in front of my father, why the jewelry store still has handkerchief What? It's better to put the miscellaneous stuff in another store..."
Before she finished speaking, she also made Liu Xuer laugh. She also understood what Shicheng meant and nodded with a smile.
Shi Cheng continued: "Also, I'm six years old after turning a new year. Many of the shop's young guys who are new to their crafts are all six or seven years old. I didn't mean to help you. I have to learn something too, it’s better to get in touch early when it comes to doing business… It’s just a matter of helping you.”
Liu Xuer thought about it for a while, then nodded and said, "Think about your own business. As for the rental counter, I am thinking about it..."
Shi Cheng nodded, she was worried about consignment sales just now, but she refused to agree to deliver it to her door, she was just worried that she would not be able to pay the rent, and she was unwilling to help her too obviously. My parents and the people around me were suspicious.
The two were murmuring here, Willow finally finished thinking about the glass cabinet, and walked over lightly and asked: "Shicheng, Xu'er, what are we doing here? Why don't we leave? Bar?"
Just as Liu Xuer was about to speak, there were noisy footsteps at the entrance of the stairs, and a burst of laughter from a woman. Liu Xuer and Shi Cheng immediately turned to look, and sure enough, the second young lady went downstairs surrounded by a few maids, and the shopkeeper followed behind.
Second Young Mistress went downstairs and glanced at the first floor: "Is there anything new here?"
Listening to the shopkeeper: "These are the new pairs of cotton hand coverings. The style is quite novel. The wrists can be fastened, so you don't have to worry about falling off. The young master must be extra warm when wearing them."
The catkins here are holding their breath!
She saw the shopkeeper pick up the pair of bigger hands and hand them to the second young mistress with a smile. "What kind of weird look is this?"
Liu Xuer's heart sank, Shi Cheng also frowned and whispered to himself: "I haven't seen the world."
The shopkeeper is still full of smiles: "This is the latest style in Beijing. Children wearing cotton pads are easy to fall off. I don't know which big family in Beijing came up with this style and gave it to their own. The young master took it with him, and the result spread. I also got a couple of pairs, second young lady, what do you think? It's made of rabbit fur."
The second young lady was still disdainful and asked casually, "How much?"
"Thirty taels for a pair."
The catkins almost jumped up! As soon as he turned his head to look at Shicheng, Shicheng blinked, and innocently turned his eyes away.
Liu Xuer scolded in her heart, Shicheng this guy...
