Chapter 78 Door-to-door sales! Send for exam!
Tomorrow is the day when the county examination begins. The county examination center has been cleaned and inspected to welcome hundreds of students who are rushing to take the exam tomorrow.
All the inns in Shandan were occupied by students coming to take the exams. In the past few days before the exams started, the county had been immersed in bustling activities that were different from business. In restaurants and inns, students from all walks of life can be seen discussing problems everywhere.
In the big inn where Lu Lu was staying, only the fifth floor that they occupied was relatively quiet. Now she stayed in the room, like Rapunzel on the tower, sitting by the window and looking at the building through the thin window paper. The scenery below.
Xu Dan went to the shop to deal with things again, and the collection of garlic was postponed for a few days, and he would have time to set off to Nashang Licun tomorrow. She and a few female guards were the only ones left in the room, and the female guards guarded her loyally and cautiously.
Lu Lu was lying on the window sill, looking downstairs boredly. She had been staring at a small figure for a long time, a little child in linen clothes, holding a bunch of very novelly packaged... green leafy vegetables in her arms?
At first, when the child appeared on the street, Lu Lu's eyes were immediately attracted by the handful of vegetables in his hand. Then he kept watching the child go into one restaurant after another and then out after a while.
At this time, the child's next target was the inn where she was. She tilted her head slightly, her eyes focused on the bunch of vegetables in the child's hands, and she felt enlightened.
It turns out that the many kinds of vegetables held by the child were packed in a funnel-shaped bamboo hat. There was straw in the bamboo hat. On top of the straw were layers of fresh vegetables. Outside the bamboo hat, there was a layer of low-quality vegetables. It was made of good yellow linen paper, and in the end, a strip of brightly colored cloth was used to circle the bamboo hat and tie it into a beautiful knot, a style she had never seen before.
There were many fresh vegetables placed in the bamboo hat, some of which she could not identify, so she had to call the maid to help identify them.
The vegetables are green and very pleasing to the eye.
The child walked into the inn with a bamboo hat in his arms. After a while, he came out of the inn. He was not here to stay or eat, and he was not chased away by the shopkeeper or the waiters.
It was not difficult for Lu Lu to guess the child's purpose. The inn clerk politely sent the child to the street, and then the child jumped into another inn opposite.
As soon as she raised her hand, a female guard approached from behind.
"Tu Lun, go to the shopkeeper and ask what that kid was doing here? He looked very interesting."
It was rare for the lady to be interested in something, and the guard couldn't help but feel happy. Seeing that the young lady would sit alone by the window and watch the scenery after waking up every day without moving. Looking at them like this, they were worried that the young lady would get sick from boredom, and even wanted to persuade the young lady to go out for a walk. The master sent so many people to guard the young lady. , just so that she can go out and play with peace of mind instead of staying in the room all day.
After a while, Tu Lun came back with a piece of paper and told Lu Lu exactly what the shopkeeper said: "The kid who came in just now is called Li Yu. He just moved to the county from a nearby village. There was another boy with him. An older brother, that older brother was good at growing vegetables, and the vegetables he was holding in his arms were grown by his older brother. The child said that his older brother had invented a method that would allow the vegetables to continue to grow and elongate even when the first snow fell. I know the planting time of vegetables in the northwest, and today I am here to sell home-grown vegetables for my brother."
Lu Lu was a little disappointed when she heard it. It turned out to be like this. She had thought that there would be some unusual and interesting things in it, but she didn't expect that it was actually a child selling vegetables.
She noticed the paper in Usagiwa's hand and asked, "What are you holding?"
Tu Lun snickered, knowing in his heart that the young lady would be interested when she saw it, so she held up the paper with both hands: "The child gave this to the shopkeeper. He said that if the shopkeeper is interested, he can go to the alleys of Xicheng to find it in the future. He and his brother."
Lu Lu picked it up and took a look. After seeing clearly what was written on the paper, he immediately became interested. He lay on the imperial concubine's couch, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his thoughts were attracted by the words on the paper.
After a while, she softly said "hmm" and asked, "Has the shopkeeper made a decision?"
Tu Lun: "The shopkeeper has decided to keep the appointment. This is the strategy used by Li Yu's brother. He does not decide which restaurant or inn to sell vegetables to based on price, but plans to let them fight to decide the outcome. Such a novel method Naturally, it will attract a lot of people.”
"Not only is the topic fascinating, but there are also fresh vegetables that you can actually see and touch." Lu Lu held the paper and smiled rarely: "It's really an interesting topic. Tomorrow my cousin and I are going to a school outside the county. Li Cun, I won’t be back until the day after tomorrow. Ask the shopkeeper to write down all the topics, copy them and give them to me."
"Yes."
The paper read: There was a person in the county who bought a chicken for eight cents, sold it to someone else for nine cents, then bought the chicken back for ten cents, and finally sold it to another person for eleven cents. . Ask, is this person making money or losing money? How much money do you make? How much is the loss?
Lu Lu figured out the answer in one go. There were some twists and turns in it, and he was afraid that many people would stumble on it.
She thought it would be great if the next questions were as interesting as this one.
The little girl was in a rare good mood because of a piece of paper. She hummed a little tune and leaned out of the window to look into the distance, and saw the child jumping away. He seemed to be in a good mood.
Maybe the child had finished handing out the paper in his hand, and instead of going to the next restaurant, he ran westward with the vegetables in his arms.
That child is Li Yu!
Li Yu ran into the alley excitedly, unlocked the door himself, and pushed open the house door. The puppy guarding the door had long smelled his scent, wagging its tail at him crazily, and kept squeezing under his legs.
He touched the house key hanging on his body. It was given to him by Ji Qingyue. It was the first time he had received such an important thing since he was a child. This key meant a lot to him.
When he first got the key, he was both happy and worried about accidentally losing it. The more Ji Qing saw how worried he was, the more he came up with an idea, asking him to tie the key with a piece of cloth and hang it around his neck so that he wouldn't be afraid of losing it if he kept it close to his body.
The house was quiet and there seemed to be no one.
Li Sanlang had already gone out early to go to the examination hall with his classmates to familiarize themselves with the route in advance. There seems to be no one at home, but in fact there is still Ji Qingyue in the painting.
Li Yu locked the door and ran into the bedroom. He excitedly told Ji Qingyue what happened in the morning word for word. The guys didn't kick him out immediately. The shopkeepers saw his cell phone. When he ordered the fresh vegetables, everyone showed a surprised expression. After he handed over the paper, the shopkeepers looked at him with a completely different look. After finishing, the shopkeeper asked the waiter to send him out respectfully.
Ji Qingyue smiled lightly, as if he already knew what Li Yu would encounter. He praised the child without hesitation, making the child scratch his head in embarrassment.
I wonder if he did well today and whether many people will come to buy groceries tomorrow.
Ji Qingyue had already thought that if a child wearing linen clothes walked into the inn alone, he would be misunderstood by the waiters, regarded as a beggar and kicked out. Now he asked Li Yu to hold a bunch of fresh vegetables, which he I get up early and pick the vegetables from the fields. The placement of the vegetables is very particular. Just like flower arrangements, the key points need to be highlighted.
He placed the spinach in the center, and placed a small handful of cowpeas in a circle, like flower petals, around the spinach in the center. He added celery, eggplant, lettuce, cabbage, broad beans, leeks and standing cucumbers. , and a few emerald green lotus leaves as a background. Holding such a green "bunch" that is dazzling as soon as it appears, anyone will weigh Li Yu's intention.
Each vegetable has a different degree of greenness. They complement each other and deliberately highlight their own characteristics, making them pleasing to the eye at first sight.
People in inns and restaurants would naturally not kick Li Yu out immediately after seeing this. This way, Li Yu would have the opportunity to explain his purpose, and when he took out the question paper, people would not think that he was talking nonsense or joking. This novel way of "sales promotion" attracts people. When they can't decide, they will immediately ask the stewards and shopkeepers to make a decision.
When asked by the steward and shopkeeper about his life experience and the source of the vegetables, Li Yu did not hide everything, but half hid the other half. Li Yu did not hide any information about him, and generously told his name and the information recorded on the household registration paper. place of birth. When it comes to Ji Qingyue, half of it needs to be hidden. Li Yu did not disclose too much information about Ji Qingyue, but just said: "If you are interested, please go to Yangshu Hutong in the west the day after tomorrow. My brother and I are here for the first time in Shandan." , while making a living, he was also worried that if he secretly provided money to a family, it would be a sin to destroy the balance here, so the elder brother came up with this method, not to compete based on price, but to compete based on the questions on the paper. As long as the price is right, the elder brother will Then we can supply vegetables to restaurants or inns.”
As soon as a business person looks at this question, he will roughly understand the twists and turns in it. As long as he can keep accounts, he can clearly calculate the profit and loss at a glance.
The onlookers thought for a while: "Earn three cents."
But the accountant said he was counting two cents.
Finally, the shopkeeper shook his head and said, "No, it's a penny."
So the people downstairs started arguing, which turned out to be more intense than when discussing literary topics.
Tu Lun kept reporting to Lu Lu the news he heard from downstairs. It turned out that the noise downstairs was not because of any commotion, but because they really had a quarrel.
Noisy.
It's really funny. Lu Lu smiled softly: "I feel that the chicken seller is at a loss. If I were the chicken seller and did this, my father would laugh at me for being stupid."
Tuwa didn't know what the lady meant, so he just laughed at her words and said, "The lady is talking nonsense. The master will not laugh at the lady. He will definitely make up for the loss himself."
"Haha, you're right."
The commotion downstairs became more and more exciting, and it was not only their inn that had such commotion, but several shops opposite were also lively.
Not only the inns where the overnight guests ate were so lively, but the restaurants where Li Yu visited were even more lively. Not only the students, but also the businessmen who ate in the restaurants were quarreling over the answer to this question, each with their own opinions. Each reason.
Faced with many answers, everyone quarreled fiercely, and no one could convince anyone. They all felt that they were right.
Ji Qingyue in the painting and Li Yu in the house did not know the situation in the east, but lived behind closed doors.
Li Yu opened and packed the vegetables he brought back, planning to eat some at lunch and some at night. These vegetables were picked less than a morning ago and are still fresh and tender. They make a great dish when boiled or stir-fried.
As long as Ji Qing didn't want to cook, Li Yu would do it himself.
In the future, they will have to rely on Li Yu and Li Silang to rely on themselves. The less Ji Qing helps now, the more Li Yu will be able to be more independent.
In fact, Li Yu has experienced so much and has long been accustomed to doing everything by himself, so Ji Qingyue doesn't need to worry at all.
The longer Ji Qing stayed in the painting, he not only handed the door key to Li Yu, but also gave him some change so that he could buy clothes and other daily necessities on his own.
Li Yu planned to go out for a walk after lunch to buy some necessary things for his home.
The bedroom and the small partition on the wall were designed by Ji Qingyue, but in the end he forgot to customize the door, so Li Yu planned to buy two pieces of linen to make a simple door curtain.
As simple as it is, he and Shiro are the only ones using it most of the time.
Every once in a while at night, someone would come to collect night incense. Li Yu learned from a neighbor’s aunt that for every bucket of night incense poured out, the person who poured incense would be given a penny.
Thinking of this, Li Yu frowned. Everything in the county cost money. Brother Ji was right to plan a new way to make money.
Li Sanlang returned home in time for sunset and made dinner with Li Yu. They did not prepare a sumptuous meal because they had to take the exam tomorrow. They just ate the most common Hu pancakes.
The main reason is that Ji Qingyue does not advocate taking supplements before taking exams. If you get something bad, your stomach will not adapt to it.
When it comes to the last minute, nothing can happen here.
After finishing the meal, Ji Qingyue asked Li Sanlang to count the things he would bring into the examination room and put them in a safe and conspicuous place. Don't miss anything important.
After all, in exams in modern society, there are always people who have all kinds of weird accidents, and in the end, unfortunately, they fail to catch the exam.
In the past, whenever Ji Qing heard this kind of news, he felt more and more regretful and angry at the same time.
Li Sanlang said that the exam will start at Chenshi, and the belongings will be checked before Chenshi. The exam time may be long or short, but the exam subjects will all end on the same day, so just bring some dry food in for emergencies.
During dinner, Li Sanlang specially baked a few more cakes and brought one in tomorrow without intending to bring water. If he accidentally knocks over the water pitcher and wets the examination paper while answering, everything will be over.
Ji Qingyue was very careful to prevent any accidents for Li Sanlang.
When it got dark, he asked Li Sanlang to wash up and go back to bed early. The neighbors would get up at a fixed time tomorrow morning to make some noise, and they would definitely not let Li Sanlang sleep to death.
However, Li Sanlang would not let himself fall asleep until he became unconscious.
The next day, Li Sanlang got up according to his usual schedule. Ji Qingyue asked him to count the things he had brought, put them in a basket and cover them with a piece of cloth. Finally, he told him not to let outsiders in when he went out. Hit the basket.
After Li Yu followed Li Sanlang out, Ji Qingyue calmed down and experienced for the first time the feelings of parents sending him off for the exam.
Bless, bless!
