MTL - The Landlord And His Wife-Chapter 60 : business experience

Shi Cheng hasn't finished speaking yet, and continued: "Besides, when you put your hand over your child and set three taels, the shopkeeper over there didn't say it was expensive, think about it, the shopkeeper's How many years has he been in business, he can't count it in his mind? The young lady of the Gu family is also a regular customer in the shop, and the retired old Hanlin family is also a regular customer. He can put the worthless hands Did Muzi send it to these regulars to corrupt them? Does he still want to do business for a long time? He still…”

Liu Xuer 'puchi' smiled: "Okay, okay, I already understand what you mean, you just want to say that you are very far-sighted and the price you set is very clever..."

Make a few bright and beautiful ones from silk with brighter colors... Do you think only old people wear foreheads? Do you know who bought this forehead before?"

Liu Xuer was dumbfounded by his gushing: "I don't know..."

The willows and willows were not there when the forehead was sold, so they all listened carefully. Several teenagers over there were choosing silk flowers, and the willows leaned against the counter here, staring at the gang People, but their ears are stretched out here to listen.

Shi Cheng said: "A man in his twenties! When his wife gave birth to a child, he had a headache. He came to buy it for his wife. After a long time, he thought the color was too old-fashioned, no The green and green ones are blue, if I didn't like the flowers embroidered on them, I wouldn't have bought them, so I finally picked azurite ones, and I felt that the color was still bright."

Shi Cheng smiled and rubbed her nose, she almost lit her nose, but Luckily Liu Xuer hid back and rolled her eyes, Shi Cheng smiled and continued: "I know what you think , I always feel that the price of these things is high, and those who can afford it must be from big families, but big families have maids, basically they can do it, and the ones who can come out to buy are some daughters-in-law who want to be lazy. What, I want to please the old man and say that I embroidered it myself... You are wrong, there are many situations that you can't imagine, there are thousands of situations for thousands of people! You have to do things like business. Active, active mind, brain must be active."

Liu Xuer nodded and said, "I know, cough, I admit this, you are all right... cough, I said we didn't teach me a lesson, okay? Can you talk about that? What else can rabbit fur do? Do you have any ideas? After talking so much, can't you ask me to make a pipa shawl with a fur collar? I don't have that ability!"

Shicheng also laughed 'pochi', and Willow laughed, and said, "But what Shicheng said makes sense, we should keep the rabbit hair."

Liu Lin whispered to those people for a while, and they left with a silk flower, and Liu Lin handed over a few pennies: "Four or five people bought a silk flower! I told them life and death that if you can't send one flower, you will feel that you are not sincere when you send it to others. Two flowers are so good! Two taels are also good! But they won't pay more to buy another one."

Liu Xuer blinked her eyes and didn't understand what she said, Shicheng already said: "At first glance, he is not very rich, maybe he is from a nearby rural village, and he came out to the good girl when he went to the market. Buying a flower, one is distressed, let alone two. This business can be done very well. "

Liu Xuer's eyes widened suddenly!

But before she could attack Shicheng, Liu Shu had already nodded and said, "Yes, it's not easy for a countryman to have so much money, it's not bad to buy it."

Liu Lin continued: "I look at the silk flowers and it's pretty good! There are many people who buy silk flowers, women buy their own, and men buy them for good girls. This business is good. Xu'er, can't you make this silk flower?" She asked Liu Xu'er.

Liu Shu and Liu Lin haven’t reacted yet, but Shi Cheng understood it after a moment’s thought, and in fright, he coughed with his fists and coughed, “I’m going… what…” Turn around and run away.

Liu Xuer grabbed the back of his neck as soon as he stretched out his hand, and then hit him on the back of the head: "You are the worst!"

Shicheng shouted injustice: "Why am I the worst? Your two brothers... They all said it!"

"How old are they, how old are you?! You, you..." Liu Xuer paused and said angrily: "You are the youngest, so the worst!"

Shi Cheng was so frightened that he was about to interrupt when he heard that she almost slipped the tongue, but fortunately she still reflected it, so she could only turn her head hard and accompany her with a smile: "Doing business...cough cough Cough, that's it, all kinds of guests come, we have to figure out the minds of the guests? Otherwise, how can we know what they are buying? A half-sized boy in his teens stared at the silk flowers, and I began to wonder! But There are so many people like this, I can only... I know no matter how stupid I am! The same! Your two brothers also figured it out on their own! It has nothing to do with me, I didn't say..."

"You didn't say it? You were the first to say it!" After speaking, he picked up the abacus and tapped it on Liu Lin's head: "And you! Really... I really don't know what to say. What's up, you're only eight years old, eight years old!"

Liu Lin blushed and rubbed his head. Liu Shu felt distressed about the abacus, and when she saw her waving it up and down, she stretched out one of her hands and followed it up and down, fearing that she would throw it out.

Liu Xuer taught all three of them a lesson, and then slapped the abacus heavily on the table, and Liu Shu hurriedly picked it up again to see if it was broken.

Shicheng is used to it, and has returned to normal now: "Don't worry about the rabbit hair first, find a dry place to store it temporarily, wipe the forehead and hand over the child until September and October. I started to do it...the 15th month of August has passed! Hey, speaking of this, you can divide it like this. You can do three waves in a year. During the Yuan Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, the third wave is the Chinese New Year! All you need to prepare is to rely on these three waves of festivals!"

Liu Xuer nodded, and Liu Lin nodded, "Yes, that's it!"

"What are you going to buy this time? What are the customs of the Qixi Festival...?" Shicheng asked.

"Make a network... The others are selling needles, threads, etc., as well as the little clay figurine grinder and music, those are not handmade..." Liu Xuer said.

Shicheng slapped his thigh and shouted: "I remembered when you said it! When I used to celebrate the Qiqiao Festival, my mother called the maid to make up a lot of knots, saying that it was given to the little ones who came and went. The girls'...that's what, it's either a tie to hold things, or a braided tie, with tassels at the bottom, or not, you understand? Yingluo ring, wear it on your hand, and weave some knots on it."

Speak and gesture.

Liu Xuer already understood, so she could understand what Shicheng said. He said that the past and present have been brought.

Yingluo is a necklace that hangs around the neck. Most of the wealthy people are made of gold, and even jade is worn on it. And the ones Liu Xuer made are naturally colored threads, they are just braided and tied on top, and they can be worn like this when they are bought back.

The tie is a kind of jade sleeve. The jade worn on the body is easily broken or cracked if it is bare. Putting the tie on it has a protective effect.

And what Shicheng said was a bracelet, the same as a Yingluo but wearing a bracelet on his hand, and the knot he said was not very accurate, in fact, he was talking about knots like Chinese knots. Come out of all kinds of tricks, delicate and beautiful.

In fact, the colorful silk thread is also a kind of bracelet. Of course, it is completely different from the knot that Shicheng said. The colorful silk thread is just twisting several threads of different colors together, just for the Dragon Boat Festival. custom. Selling well is also because it is cheap. It is the Dragon Boat Festival. No one will buy special threads for a few colorful silk threads. What should I do with the remaining threads? So it sells well.

But the knot will definitely not be so cheap, because the handwork is there.

Liu Xuer pondered for a while, then nodded: "I know, I will buy high-quality filaments, and the price this time should be around 20 cents."

Shicheng nodded: "Well, that's how it should be, and don't look at these gems and scorpions that are not selling well now, it's not yet time, I guess it should be better in July, So you have to do more when you have time.”

Liu Xuer nodded: "I see." In fact, almost everything to be done next is related to the connection. The Ghost Festival is a month, and there is a Zhongyuan Festival in the middle. The custom is Children should wear a safety charm, or tie a knot, which is the shape of the pennant, and a small thing made of peach wood. This can still be called a pendant accessory for a small wooden fish and a small mallet, but it can be changed to Peach wood. Not to mention the Mid-Autumn Festival, just make up more moon, lantern, and rabbit-shaped pendants.

Several children leaned on the counter and talked and discussed. When guests came, Liulin went up to say hello. Sometimes there were too many people, Liushu and Shicheng also went to say hello. After thinking about it for a while, arranging it for a while, my mind is full of things.

When it was still busy over there, the people Shicheng received left. After Shicheng came over, Liu Xuer asked in a low voice, "Shicheng, how are your things selling? How much can you get in a month? silver?"

Shi Cheng smiled and shrugged: "Same, there are only about 180 wen in February, it will be better in March, I can earn a few thousand wen, and there are seven or eight taels in April. ...In the past few months, the rent is just flat. It looks good in May, and it's only a few days. Excluding yours, it's already thousands of dollars."

Liu Xuer nodded: "What did your father say? How do you think you are doing?"

Shi Cheng smiled: "I just didn't do well, and now my father can't say anything, how old am I? It's normal to have a bunch of situations! So what I'm doing now is already That's great... Occasionally, it's not surprising that you have to get some things that are at a loss. By the way, tell you, my father thinks that my shop is doing well, so he plans to give it to me... Of course, it will take a year or two. , then the prefect is completely gone, there are no remnants of power, and our family is no longer in danger... If you ask me to find a buddy at that time, I will be considered a shopkeeper, and then I will call your eldest brother and second brother to come over."

"Really? That would be great!" Liu Xuer whispered.
