At the end of March, the two pastry chefs finished their studies and left. At this time, the busy spring is coming to an end. Several families whose houses collapsed in the snow disaster years ago have repaired the houses with the help of the villagers and moved them back to their respective homes. Home, the small courtyard of Ji's family in the back mountain was vacant again.

Ji Chunshan had already found a day of free time to bring the village chief Feng Deli into the county seat, and went to the county government to buy him two acres of land near Ji's small courtyard in Houshan. .Just before the start of work, shopkeeper Li suddenly came to the door and brought news that shopkeeper Li was very bad, but Yu Jichunshan was right.

Fifteen years later, the New Year's Eve is over, and almost all the people visiting relatives and friends have gone. In addition, people's fresh pursuit of meat muffins has also passed, and the sales of meat muffins have naturally decreased a lot. He just came to pull one cart, and now it has stabilized to be enough to supply once every three days, but this was in Ji Chunshan's expectation, so he didn't think it was unacceptable.

On this day, Ji Chunshan got up early in the morning, made [-] meat muffins, put them in a basket together with the multi-flavored dried tofu and other soy products made the day before, and waited for Li Baogen to come to the door. But he didn't want to hear the knock on the front yard door that day to open the door. Besides Li Baogen, shopkeeper Li was the person outside the door.

"Uncle Li, it's a coincidence that you came here. I happen to have something to discuss with you." Ji Chunshan was a little surprised when he saw shopkeeper Li, but he was only surprised for a moment, and then smiled and invited the two of them inside.After cooperating for a long time, they are also familiar with each other. Years ago, he changed his mouth and stopped calling shopkeeper, shopkeeper, which seemed very unfamiliar.

"Really, that's really a coincidence." Shopkeeper Li said with a smile, and then entered Ji's main room with Ji Chunshan and sat down.

Ji Chunshan poured a cup of tea for Shopkeeper Li, sat down and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal, but I think it's getting warmer every day. If the meat muffins are left for a long time, I'm afraid the taste will be bad." Well, I wondered if I could let the Baogen brothers come to the house every two days, of course, the amount each time would be less than when they came every three days. But in this way, the Baogen brothers would be more In the past, I had to run many more times..."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, the days are getting longer and longer, and the journey from the town to your village is only an hour's journey, even once a day is enough." Before Ji Chunshan finished speaking, shopkeeper Li readily agreed. .

Li Bao stuttered at all, and because of this problem, he was very inferior and introverted since he was a child. It is easy to suffer when dealing with people. The shopkeeper Li only asked him to do some carrying and delivering work in his own shop. He is in good shape and drives steadily. It could not be more appropriate, now that Ji Chunshan proposed to shorten the delivery date, but it was also expected by shopkeeper Li, so he would not object.

"After that, Brother Baogen will have to work harder." Ji Chunshan looked at Li Baogen and said with a smile.

"Brother Ji, Ji, you're welcome, I don't, I don't work hard, I should, I should." Li Baogen waved his hands hurriedly, stammering and trying to speak.

Ji Chunshan looked at Li Baogen with a gentle smile on his face, without the slightest expression of impatience. When Li Baogen finally finished speaking, he nodded and smiled at Li Baogen, and then looked at the shopkeeper Li, " I wonder if Uncle Li is here today?"

When Ji Chunshan asked, Shopkeeper Li frowned complicatedly, sighed helplessly, and said, "Oh, nephew, I really don't know how to tell you..."

Shopkeeper Li is a native of Yanghe Town. He has lived here for several generations when Yanghe Town was still in Yanghe Village. Tao prospered.Because the Li family is close to the main street, they built a shop on the street. It's just different from the neighbors who have no business skills and can only rent out the shop. The Li family took advantage of Li's father as a shopkeeper to open a shop. A grocery store.

Later, Li's father passed away, and the shopkeeper Li, as the eldest son, inherited the family business as a matter of course, and started to run a grocery store.He has some brains, he is not mean, and he is very popular. The grocery store in his hands is much more prosperous than that in the hands of Li's father. After more than ten years, he has really made a lot of money. Over the past few years, I have spent a lot of money on my younger brother’s education. Now, apart from the house in the town where the family lives, there is only five acres of land.

And the reason shopkeeper Li came to Ji's house today was because of his brother Li Youcai.Li Youcai studied since he was a child, and he was a hardworking person. Although he spent more on studying as he grew up, after Li's father passed away, shopkeeper Li continued to support him.It's just that Li Youcai didn't get a name in the exam until he was in his thirties, and then he gave up completely. He found an errand for enlightening children in the academy in the town, and he worked for years.But not long after the beginning of spring after this year, he got drunk in the college because he accidentally knocked down the candlestick and almost caused a fire. In the end, although no one was hurt and there was no big loss, he was still dismissed by the college up.

Although shopkeeper Li and his younger brother are ten years apart in age, they still have a good relationship. Seeing his younger brother bored in the room all day, he was often relieved. Later, his younger brother asked to help out at the grocery store. With a decadent appearance, he agreed as soon as his heart softened, but soon he realized what a wrong decision he had made.

Li Youcai is a scholar, so he can't do the work of welcoming and transporting guests, and he can't do other rough work of tidying up and carrying, so he just helps shopkeeper Li to collect money and keep accounts. I don't want to think that after a few days, he offered to help Ji Chunshan They suffered too much from the sale, so they should increase the commission.Afterwards, although he learned from Shopkeeper Li that Shopkeeper Li took the initiative to visit the door to seek cooperation, he himself said the commission, and signed the contract, so how could he change it at will, let alone if it wasn't for this cooperation with Ji Chunshan However, Li Ji's grocery store can't survive the day when the North-South Freight Station that they are fighting with is closed.

But Li Youcai still insisted on his own opinion, and the argument with shopkeeper Li turned into a quarrel in the end, until Li's mother was alarmed.And Li's mother has always been partial to her younger son Li Youcai, so she only forced the shopkeeper Li to do what Li Youcai wanted.If it was something else, shopkeeper Li might have backed down a bit or two, but when it came to the issue of character and reputation, he was rarely tough and did not compromise at all, and finally forced Li's mother to say-separation.

Li's father passed away. Although shopkeeper Li was the eldest son and should inherit the family business, there was always Li's mother who was partial and fierce. In the end, the grocery store that shopkeeper Li had been running for more than ten years was assigned to Li Youcai's name, and the family's five acres The land was given to shopkeeper Li.Li's mother wanted to live with her youngest son Li Youcai, so the only house in the family belonged to Li Youcai, and Li's shopkeeper only got 20 taels of money for the house.

Shopkeeper Li never expected this result, he refused to follow, but under the pressure of Li's mother, he could only sign the separation document.The next day, he didn't care about Li Youcai's request to go to the county government to settle the contract with the shop, but let him and Li Baogen come to Ji's house first.

Shopkeeper Li finally said: "...Eldest nephew, the grocery store is no longer in my control, but I was the one who signed the contract with you back then, and I will always come to give you an explanation. Fortunately, the deadline on the contract It's only this month, and now it's only a few days before the end of the month. When the day comes, the contract will be voided, but there is no need to sign it again. As for whether you will cooperate with your younger brother in the future, it is up to you to decide, but you don't have to worry about me. "

Although Li Youcai once asked Li Youcai to increase the commission, but now Li Youcai has figured it out, it was probably just Li Youcai trying to find a reason to argue with him, and Li's mother was already partial to Li Youcai. Just stood by Li Youcai's side, even if Li's shopkeeper rubbed his lips, it would be gone.And Ji Chunshan's food is selling very well. Although the grocery store only takes [-]% of the discount, shopkeeper Li believes that his younger brother will not give up.

"So that's it." Ji Chunshan didn't want such an accident to happen to the Li family. After a sigh of emotion, he fell silent with a thoughtful expression on his face. After a while, he raised his head and asked Li's shopkeeper: "I don't know if Uncle Li will be there in the future?" What plan?"

Shopkeeper Li smiled wryly, and said, "If you have any plans, let's take a step at a time." Li Youcai and Li's mother got angry too quickly. To be honest, until now he still doesn't believe that his mother and brother will join forces to drive him away. After leaving the house, now their family doesn't even have a place to stay, so how can they talk about their future plans?

"Then I don't know if shopkeeper Li is willing to continue to be a shopkeeper?" Ji Chunshan smiled but said something that surprised shopkeeper Li.

"Continue to be the shopkeeper?" Shopkeeper Li was stunned, but soon asked with some expectation: "Could it be that my nephew has a friend who just wants to hire the shopkeeper?" If it is true, it would be great, after all, he is The shopkeeper who has been working for more than ten years is the most familiar and good at it, and he has no other skills other than that. If he can return to his old job, he is willing to be hired even if he is hired.

"It's not my friend, but me." Ji Chunshan said, pointing to himself.

"Could it be, could it be that you want to open a shop by yourself?" Shopkeeper Li suddenly looked surprised.

"Exactly." Ji Chunshan nodded, and said again: "Uncle Li, although the person in charge of the grocery store is your own younger brother, I am not familiar with him, so I am not as friendly as I am with you. Let’s get acquainted again, if we continue to cooperate and open a new shop together, I also plan to make some new flavors of pickles, so it should be no problem to support a store. What do you think?”

Before today, in fact, Ji Chunshan had been hesitating all the time. It was imperative for him to increase the variety of pickles, but whether he would continue to sell them in Liji's grocery store made him undecided for a while.Continue to sell as a consignment agent. If you have a lot of things, you may not be able to let them go in the grocery store. If you open a store by yourself, then he will often leave home, and he will definitely be too busy. But if you hire someone for a while, it will be difficult Finding someone who can let him rest assured that the store will be fully handed over, when he was in a dilemma, shopkeeper Li came to the door, and Ji Chunshan was finally able to make a decision.

Being able to continue to be the shopkeeper, although he is not his own boss but working for others, but if the person who hired him was Ji Chunshan, shopkeeper Li felt nothing wrong with it, and was even more overjoyed. He slapped the armrest of the chair , immediately said: "This is the best. Don't worry, I know the town best. What kind of shop do you want, the size of the location, rent or buy, I will definitely find the most satisfactory one for you. "

"Then I'll trouble Uncle Li." Ji Chunshan didn't shirk, and thanked him with a smile.

Afterwards, Ji Chunshan told Shopkeeper Li about his requirements for the storefront. The location doesn't have to be too good, but it can't be too remote. The size should be about the same as a grocery store, but it must have a yard where people can live and store things.Because a year ago I was buying furniture for an old house, buying New Year gifts, and spending a lot of money on trips to the county, not to mention having to set aside money to build a workshop, so Ji Chunshan could only temporarily rent one. shop.

The request he raised was really not high. After listening to the shopkeeper Li, he immediately had several choices in his mind. Dang even wanted to leave and go back to the town to see if the rental and sale were sold out, but Ji Chunshan hurriedly stopped him and wanted to be with him. Talking about the remuneration, it gave Shopkeeper Li another surprise.

Shopkeeper Li originally thought that now he is just helping Ji Chunshan to watch the shop and sell things, just like other shopkeepers, he thinks it is enough to get a salary, but Ji Chunshan said that he will still follow the original commission method, but now it is not Li The shopkeeper has his own shop, so the commission is lower than when he was in the grocery store, only [-]%.

Shopkeeper Li has helped Ji Chunshan sell things for a few months, so he knows that the profit from those food is really considerable. Although it is only [-]% now, and there is no income from the grocery store, but after a rough calculation, it is more expensive than the average clerk. The wages are definitely not low, so I am not unhappy.

And Ji Chunshan made such a decision, although it costs more than hiring an ordinary guy, but it can let shopkeeper Li do his best for the shop. After all, the more profit the shop makes, the more he gets, and he also earns money get the most.Of course, it was also because he had cooperated with shopkeeper Li for a long time, and Ji Chunshan was assured of shopkeeper Li's character, so he made this decision. If he changed people, it might not be the case.

After re-signing the contract, Li Baogen left with shopkeeper Li, who was gloomy when he came, but relaxed when he went back.At first, Ji Chunshan signed the sales contract with shopkeeper Li, but now the grocery store belongs to Li Youcai, and Ji Chunshan doesn't want to cooperate with Li Youcai, so shopkeeper Li doesn't have a holy father to help his white-eyed wolf brother talk to Ji Chunshan Good thing, it was the shopkeeper Li who signed the contract with Ji Chunshan at the beginning, not the grocery store, so although Li Baogen still took away Ji's pastries for food today, he did not deliver them to the grocery store, but found groceries At the corner of the street near the shop, they set up a stall with Mrs. Li's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Feng, using donkey carts as tables.Shopkeeper Li, on the other hand, ran around the town looking for a shop that met Ji Chunshan's requirements.

His efficiency is extremely high, he only left the morning before, and shortly after breakfast the next day, Li Baogen came to Ji's house again to inform Ji Chunshan, saying that shopkeeper Li had found two shops that basically met Ji Chunshan's requirements, and let him come Go check it out and order one.Ji Chunshan happened to be fine, so he told Ye Qinglan and followed Li Baogen to the town. Finally, from the two shopkeepers Li took him to see, he chose the same street as Liji Grocery Store, but the one at the corner Paving.

After signing a one-year lease and paying the rent, Ji Chunshan handed over the rest of the store decoration, purchase of counter shelves, etc. to shopkeeper Li, while he drove a carriage to the kiln factory of Wang's family. A batch of special ceramic containers was placed.
