A girl who is a criminal in the medical profession has a good fortune, and aristocratic families are

The second shop is a ready-to-wear store.

Logically speaking, food, clothing, housing and transportation should be what the people need most, and business will definitely not be bad.

But the bad thing is, this shop sells ready-made clothes made of silk and satin!

The workmanship is quite exquisite, and the price is naturally very expensive.

Ready-made clothes are made according to the body shape of most people, rather than specially customized. How many wives from wealthy families can like such clothes?

Unless there is an urgent need and you don’t have time to buy it, you can only buy it back and roughly change it before wearing it.

Therefore, this shop can still open once a month, even though it is starving. Since there are few people working, there is still a surplus after deducting expenses.

But that's all.

Yunling looked through the store's account books for the past year.

About twenty transactions were recorded on a few thin pages, which shows that this store is sparse.

"I remember the account books of this store clearly. I think if I run the business for a few more years, I won't be able to use up this book."

Yunling sent a soul torture to Zhou Qiong, "If you don't close a store like this, why are you still keeping it?"

He even said it would be a gift to her, which was just a lie!

Zhou Qiong blinked, "Isn't this usually in Ruidu? It's rare to come back and I can't spare any money. The few shopkeepers I found in the past years have not made much progress, so I just leave it like this."

As long as you don't lose money.

These shops have been passed down for generations. He can't just sell them because they are not profitable. He is no different from those prodigal sons.

Zhou Qiong wanted to retort a few words, but after thinking about her reputation in Ruidu, she swallowed her words.

Yunling sighed helplessly.

No wonder the Zhenxihou Mansion is so poor. Not only does the family have no business skills, but they also don’t have the vision to know people and do their jobs well. They haven’t found a few reliable shopkeepers in so many years.

Or is it that because the owner is away all year round, the shopkeeper who stays in the local business is passive and slow in his work?

Or, to line your own pockets?

This problem is actually very common.

If you want to know, you have to look up the account books over the years, and Yunling doesn't have the patience.

I really found out that a shopkeeper was lining his own pockets. It has been so long, where can I find someone to confront him?

Might as well run it well from now on.

The location of this store is excellent. The main thing is that the products sold are very large and cannot be sold. The warehouse is filled with a backlog of ready-made clothes. Some of them have even faded due to age, and will crack if you pull them a little, so they are considered waste products.

For those who are celebrating the Chinese New Year, seeing these is really heartbreaking.

Yunling thought for a while and simply put these things aside.

After the Lantern Festival, she went back to ask Shen Qixiang and Shen Qingdai for advice, and asked them to help make decisions, which could be regarded as a specialization in the art.

Seeing Yunling throw away the account book, Zhou Qiong was also very happy.

My sweetheart is too busy reading the brochure every day and doesn't even bother to look at me, which is somewhat hurtful.

Is it because he is not good-looking?

When the two of them went home that day, Xu Xiangxiang asked, "How has the shop been doing these days?"

If it weren't for knowing that Yunling was busy with this, she wouldn't bother to ask about these trivial matters.

When he learned that the shops were not doing well, he said, "Ling'er, since these shops are not good, why don't I trade with you? My natal family has arranged for someone to run several dowry shops for me, and I can earn a lot of money every year. If you don't have much money, you won't have to worry about changing.

Those shopkeepers are very reliable. I will write a letter back and ask them to recognize you. "

It is also very reliable and can earn a lot of money every year. However, it is a little far away in Ruizhou, but it doesn't matter. I can write a letter back and ask them to come to Yuezhou City to reimburse you. "

Yunling waved her hands hurriedly, "No need, Aunt Xiang, I like things that are challenging."

"There is nothing wrong with these shops. When I change my business strategy, I can always make some achievements. You have to have confidence in me!"

She and Zhou Qiong didn't know what would happen in the future, and they couldn't keep taking advantage of the Zhou family.

People treat her well because they like her, but she can't just rely on people's likes to be arrogant.

......

Time flies by, several days and nights alternate, and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is here.

Since breakfast this day, the four of them have been feeling a little unsatisfied with their food.

A faint feeling of parting spread around.

When it was noon, partly to liven up the atmosphere, but also to let Zhou Qiong eat better in the military camp in the future, Yunling brought out the hot pot.

Using an open copper pot, he showed Zhou Qiong how to eat hot pot.

"Just wash the ingredients, boil them in water or other soups, take them out when they are cooked, and prepare some seasonings for dipping."

Mrs. Mo and Xu Xiangxiang ate happily, which dispersed a little bit of their sadness.

Zhou Qiong looked at the steaming pot, feeling sour in her heart.

The young man sensed his sweetheart's thoughts.

Thinking about it, she was also worried that he wouldn't be able to eat well outside.

Even when eating, there is always a sense of tastelessness.

When night fell, the two ladies of the Zhou family did not go out, saying that they were tired.

Zhou Qiong and Yunling went to the lantern festival as planned.

Covered by their big cloaks, the two walked hand in hand on the road.

The Lantern Festival belongs to lovers.

There were many young men and women holding hands on the brightly lit road, and the intimacy between them was not out of the ordinary.

Guan Yi and Mingzhu were very knowledgeable and fell behind them not too close but not too far away.

"Young master and young lady, do you want to pinch each other?"

The vendors on the roadside are very good at soliciting business. Seeing that the two of them were well-dressed, the woman was carrying an expensive rabbit lantern, and the man was carrying some food, he knew that they would be customers.

Zhou Qiong saw how lifelike the little puppets on the noodle stall were, so she nodded and said, "Then help us make a pair."

While waiting, a girl and a little girl suddenly rushed forward and said to the vendor: "Shopkeeper, pinch one for me first."

"Miss, please wait a moment. I'll squeeze the two clay figurines in my hands before I finish squeezing them for you."

"No, I'm in a hurry to leave. Please hold me tight first."

Miss Jin Er was very dissatisfied, "Can't I give you more money?"

The stall owner glanced at Zhou Qiong, feeling a little embarrassed.

The girl who jumped in line was dressed very luxuriously, and she looked like someone he couldn't afford to mess with.

At first glance, the man in front of him was not someone who could be fooled.

At that moment, beads of sweat broke out on his forehead, and the speed of his hands increased a little. He secretly hated himself for taking the initiative to solicit customers. This careless move might lead to disaster.

Zhou Qiong's voice was cold, "It's so hard to squeeze."

Stall owners are reminded not to be quick and fool around.

The woman frowned and turned back.

With just one glance, I was dazzled by the grace of the young man in front of me.

With the light behind her just now, she didn't see the man's appearance clearly.

When I saw it, I felt deeply regretful.

She always likes good-looking men, and even if she wants to get married, she also wants to choose a good-looking son. Otherwise, she would not go out to Zhou Qiong's front yard to meet him by chance because of Zhou Qiong's "good reputation" outside.

It was the first time in her life that she had seen such a young man in front of her, and he looked shy at first sight.

Miss Jin Er bowed to Zhou Qiong.
