The silly and sweet spring of crossing

Chapter 32. The Journey (2)

Qiu Baichen didn't want the apprentices to live separately, otherwise it wouldn't be good if they didn't communicate with each other on weekdays. It just so happened that the house over there was only a store with no room for people to live in, which suited his wishes.There is still room in Wang Xian's side room, and life as an apprentice is always more difficult, and everyone travels back and forth together and sleeps in Datong bunk together.

Qiu Baichen got busy with other things and forgot He Lanyuzhi's confession. He wandered to the chamber of commerce by himself, went to visit Cao Lian, and asked him if he could rent the shop to him.

"He Nan didn't come today." Cao Lian put down what he was doing, and said to Qiu Baichen that He Lanyu usually came here.

"Master Qin didn't come today?" Qiu Baichen didn't see Qin Xian, so he asked. He felt that Qin Xian, as an ignorant dude, fit his own personality very well.

Now Qin Xian is still working in the chamber of commerce, but it's not like at the beginning, after a long time, he spends three days fishing and two days drying the net.At the beginning, I got up early every day, but I didn’t know when it disappeared.He hangs out with his cronies until it's time, and then goes home and pretends to be hardworking.

But this kind of thing can't always be hidden from everyone. He was caught by his wife a few days ago, and her little lady was so angry that she went back to beat the child left by his dead wife.Then Qin Xian found a new love outside, and he was a little tired of his little wife, so he thought of the benefits of his dead wife, who was also good-looking and not so fierce.He saw the hysterical side of the little lady, and felt a little disgusted in his heart. If it wasn't for the fact that his wife's background was not too bad, he might not even want to see her.

Qin Xian's wife was so angry that she went to her parents to reason, but the two elders of the Qin family couldn't bear her abuse of Qin Xian's dead wife's child, but she couldn't show it on her face, so she persuaded Qin Xian's wife, Qin Xian was like this , it is better for her to have a son as soon as possible, raise him well, and inherit the family business.Mrs. Qin Xian had no choice but to do so, still pretending to be considerate, but no longer caring what Qin Xian did.

So now Qin Xian almost only comes once a day at unknown times, and then goes out to play, and sometimes even asks the servant to come for him.The people in the chamber of commerce had only heard about what kind of person Mr. Qin was, but now they had a thorough understanding, and even changed their views on Qin Chengbi.

Qiu Baichen didn't have time to take care of the Qin family's affairs, so he asked a question, and Cao Lian replied and it was over.The letter that He Lanyuzhi sent before was still hanging in the lobby of the chamber of commerce. Qin Chengbi would see it every day when he came, and hated it every time he saw it.Of course, the conflict is still in the accumulation stage and has not yet reached the point of outbreak, so now everyone is still smiling on the surface and living in peace.

"I thought about it for a few days and decided to buy the house there, but the money is definitely not enough now." Qiu Baichen said, although he relied a lot on He Lanyuzhi to do business, but it was always Qiu Baichen who made the decision. He opened it as soon as he said it.

"The chamber of commerce can provide the other part, the interest will be collected according to the regulations, and the house will be used as mortgage, and it will be repaid within five years, otherwise the house will be taken back." They are all public, and only provide discounts within the regulations of the association, and do not set thresholds for them.So even if Qin Chengbi wanted to trouble them, he couldn't.

"Acceptable." Qiu Baichen nodded, even if the money was not paid due to poor management, he could pay back the money after selling the shop, and it would not be to the extent of being confiscated.

"Well, I'll ask someone to prepare the contract that needs to be signed, and I'll go to the store and tell him to let them clean up the house for handover." Cao Lian has always been efficient in his work.He is a businessman himself, and he already has a lot of money by virtue of his own business. There is no need to deduct from the people who come to do business. If he earns too much money, he will be burdened.

He likes Qiu Baichen's way of handling money very much, he can make money and spend it.Many people only know how to make money, but don't know how to spend it. They only want to make money after making money, but they don't do anything for themselves.Even if this kind of person has money, he will live in poverty all his life, and he will not know whether the money can be left to his filial sons and grandsons.

In fact, if Qiu Baichen was willing to save some money, he would be able to buy the house in full now.If he can take out all the money in his hand, he can also pay [-]%.But he opened a branch to make his business more prosperous, earn more money, and spend more comfortably.If he cut down on food and clothing in order to open a branch, he would lose his joy of striving for life, so he kept a lot of money for living and did not deduct himself.

The whole family and the apprentices all ate the same food. They had fish and meat every day. Many people couldn't afford such a life.

After Qiu Baichen greeted Cao Lian, he went home and began to prepare for the opening of the branch, decoration and other preparations needed in advance.He sketched there, and his apprentices made lamps, and it was noon in a blink of an eye.Qiu Baichen sketched out the outline of a new store.The plaque and the revolving lantern at the door are signs, and these must be done the same as the store here.But the decoration is more elaborate.

The store over there is large, so they can carefully classify and place the lamps. They can leave some space to put some relatively new and expensive lanterns as samples, which are usually available for customers to watch. If they want, they can also pay a deposit to make a reservation. delivery within.

There are many rich people in Xinfang City. If a lantern does not use rare materials, it will not be very expensive. People don't care about such a small amount of money at all, they only care about looking good.Qiu Baichen followed everyone's wishes. The big ones are imposing, while the small ones are exquisite. He can always attract customers from far away to buy his lanterns, not to mention people nearby.

The lanterns decorated with embroidery are also the selling point of the store. It takes a long time for Lu Ping to embroider a lantern embroidery, and everyone who wants the best lanterns must pre-order.It hasn't been long since they opened, and they have only made one so far and sold it to the first customer who made the reservation before.Qiu Baichen didn't agree to other people's reservations. He thought that he might as well hold an auction. He would hold it in time for the New Year's Eve, and then there would be some discounted activities, which would make it lively, making money and advertising, and killing two birds with one stone. .However, it must be difficult to implement it in detail, so I just think about it now.

The more Qiu Baichen thought about it, the happier he was. He wanted to write down all his thoughts. He was in a state of ecstasy when he heard the child's laughter. He froze for a moment, realizing that He Lin and Xiao Chuliu had returned.

He Lanyuzhi...he also came back.

When Lu Ping heard the children's laughter, she put down the embroidery in her hand and began to work.He Lanyuzhi put down Xiao Chuliu, Xiao Chuliu and He Lin jumped in, one ran to his father, the other to Lu Ping.

"My face is all red." Qiu Baichen touched Xiao Chuliu's blushing little face.

"Hungry, eat. Uncle He bought something delicious." Xiao Chuliu smiled happily, hugged his father, and washed his hands to prepare for dinner.Qiu Baichen raised his head and glanced at He Lanyuzhi. They hadn't told Lu Ping about their affairs yet, so He Lanyuzhi couldn't do anything in public.

This gave Qiu Baichen some confidence, but He Lanyu's inability to speak did not mean that he could not do it. He walked up to Qiu Baichen's side, saw that no one was looking at them, and stretched out his hand to squeeze the back of Qiu Baichen's waist.Qiu Baichen immediately stood up straight, and then ran away to eat.

He Lanyuzhi looked at Qiu Baichen's fleeing back and smiled playfully.

"Sister Ping, you should rest in the afternoon, embroidering these things all day is not good for your eyes." Qiu Baichen said after eating, and Lu Ping nodded.Because her embroidery was bought at a high price, she now has enough money.The things she embroidered in the past were no worse than now, but she could barely support her family. After cooperating with Qiu Baichen, she had saved a lot of money, and He Lin could go to the best school to study.

She still embroiders and cooks every day. Although it is still a woman's job, she is no longer confined to a boudoir.She doesn't have to work day and night, she has given everything to train He Lin, and she usually goes out for a walk, chats with her neighbors, and makes some friends.

"En." Lu Ping nodded, originally wanted to tell Qiu Baichen to also pay attention to rest, but Qiu Baichen rested more than Lu Ping, he now makes lamps according to his own mind, and let the disciples do what the disciples can do.Wang Xian has already started to receive the salary of a formal master, and he said that he wants to save some money for Li Chen's marriage.Now Wang Xian has accepted the fact that Li Chen is going to get married, and he won't feel too much when he hears others mention it.It is also thanks to his young age that he can let go so easily.

"Sister Ping, if you have time to teach them how to cook, it will be faster for them to cook together after teaching them, and they will be able to marry a wife in the future." Qiu Baichen said, Lu Ping has to take care of their three meals a day and embroider, Qiu Baichen suddenly thought that since the apprentices usually do the cleaning, they can also come to cook.

"Yes." Lu Ping smiled at Qiu Baichen and nodded.Qiu Baichen was never polite to her, so she would not be polite to Qiu Baichen either.

"I'm thinking about opening a branch recently, and I want to recruit a few more apprentices to learn the craft. I'm still living in Wang Xian's house. Then you will teach them all. If they cook well, everyone will eat them. If they don't cook well, everyone will eat them. Eat by yourself." Qiu Baichen blinked, wanting to talk to Lu Ping for a while, not wanting to see He Lanyuzhi at all.

However, Xiao Chuliu issued a call to him, Qiu Baichen could only delay step by step, reluctantly went to take a nap with his son, and when Xiao Chuliu fell asleep, he was caught by He Lanyuzhi.

He Lanyu supported his waist with one hand, pressed his face against his, rubbed against each other, and then separated.Such a slight contact, like a feather gently scraping the tip of Qiu Baichen's heart, made his face turn red again.
