Song female man

Shunniang didn't expect that Sister Song Yu came back yesterday, and today she went to the Song's main store to take care of her business.

It's just that when she thinks that Sister Song Yu has been away from Bianliang for nearly half a year, the business has been handed over to the accountant, and it is normal for her to come to the store to settle the accounts immediately after she comes back. up.

Following the clerk who ran up to greet her, Shunniang walked into the counting room she used to go to in the back hall of the Songjiazheng store again, and saw Sister Song Yu sitting at the table in the middle of the room. There was a large pile of account books, and there were two accountants standing in front of the table, reconciling accounts with Sister Song Yu.

"Boss, Xi Xiaoguan is here." The man walked into the room and first reported to Sister Song Yu respectfully.

Sister Song Yu put down the account book in her hand as soon as she heard it, and asked the two accountants standing in front of her to go out first, and then nodded for Shun Niang to sit in front of her.

Shunniang walked over with a smile and called "Sister" before sitting on the chair next to Sister Song Yu.

"Look at your sweat..." Sister Song Yu held the veil in her hand and wiped it for Shunniang. If this familiar action had been left in the past, Shunniang would have used it very much. Now when the handkerchief in Sister Song Yu's hand touched it When she touched Niang's forehead, she shrank her neck and stepped back calmly.

So the handkerchief in Sister Song Yu's hand just wiped away the hot sweat of Shun Niang.

Shunniang had already raised her sleeves to wipe off the sweat on her face. Sister Song Yu was absent-minded for a short while holding the handkerchief, then she smiled unnaturally, turned her face outside and called a buddy to come in and let him Go and bring in a bowl of iced bayberry soup for Shunniang.

"I still remember the first time you came to my sister's store last year. It was also this season. At that time..." Sister Song Yu looked at Shun Niang and said, "...I feel that a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and things are different..."

Shunniang could also hear the low-mindedness in Sister Song Yu's words, and felt sorry for her.

After being silent for a while, Sister Song Yu broke the silence first, and with a smile on Dan's lips, she looked at Shun Niang and asked, "How are you doing?"

Shunniang smiled slightly: "Okay, I still want to move into Bianliang City, by the way, I went to Heshan a few days ago, looked at the coal, and planned to do coal business."

Sister Song Yu raised her eyebrows: "Going to the city? Are you bringing everyone in your family to the city, or are you only going to the city to do charcoal business?"

Shunniang told her that firstly, she came here to facilitate the coal business, and secondly, she wanted to bring her to live in the city. As for her mother, sister-in-law and others, they continued to live in Yangliu Town and took care of the seed business.

As soon as Sister Song Yu heard it, she guessed that Shunniang probably married Erniang Xie. Her mother and sister-in-law didn't like it, and there were many conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Otherwise, Shunniang would not have left them and brought Erniang Xie into the city alone.

She could think that Shunniang's old mother and sister-in-law couldn't bear the two women being together, and it was reasonable for Erniang Xie not to be treated by them. She even thought that if she could achieve good things with Shunniang, she would not Let Shunniang's old mother and sister-in-law live with him and Shunniang, and arrange accommodation for them.

"Xi Er, my sister still has two courtyards in this city, and they are also rented out. One of them will be rented again in two months, and the other will be leased to me again in three months. If you are not in a hurry, it will be empty. Just come with me and have a look, see which one you like, and then rent you cheaply."

"This……"

Shunniang hesitated, wondering if she should reject Sister Song Yu's offer. Houses in Bianliang were in short supply, and it was not easy to rent a house at a reasonable price. There are too many benefits from Sister Song Yu, to be honest, now that she is married to Xie Erniang, and she has a certain financial ability, Shunniang feels that she should not accept the benefits of Sister Song Yu anymore.

Before she could speak again, Sister Song Yu had already thought of why Shunniang was hesitant, and immediately said: "How much others rent, I want as much as you, so don't refuse, okay? I know you don't like to accept people indiscriminately." Good people."

Having said all this, Shunniang felt that she would be too affectionate if she declined any more, so she thanked Sister Song Yu and said, "If you have time, I will go with my sister to have a look, there is actually no rush to move into the city."

Sister Song Yu smiled: "That's good. By the way, you are short of money for charcoal business. If you are short, I can lend you some."

Shunniang hurriedly said that she was not short of money, and she didn't need Sister Song Yu to lend her money, because she wouldn't sell much coal at first, especially since it was still summer.

Sister Song Yu: "Then when you are in short supply, you should tell your sister that she will not lend you for nothing, but charge you interest."

Shun Niang nodded: "Okay."

While talking, the clerk in the store brought in a bowl of iced red bayberry soup for Shunniang, who took it and drank it openly.

After finishing the bowl of iced bayberry soup, Shunniang licked her lips and smiled at Sister Song Yu, then asked her if the Han Ya Nei family did not give her any problems.

Sister Song Yu shook her head: "No, my elder brother was also worrying for nothing at the time. Hey, now I really want to be a woman with no beauty. Even if I am doing business outside, no one cares about me. I have encountered so many bad things."

"If my sister feels upset, then don't do this business. Anyway, I can go home and spend my days idle."

"It's a pity, I haven't found a good man who can help me take care of this business, otherwise I really want to go home to spend time with Liang'er and my parents and live a leisurely life. I can only blame my sister for her bad luck." Let's go." Saying this, Sister Song Yu's beautiful eyes locked on to Shun Niang and said quietly, "No one will help me, and I can't do without showing my face. If you tell me to put down the business in my hand and go home now, I will definitely be punished." It's suffocating, let's hang out."

After finishing speaking, he sighed and said again: "Xi Er, let's not talk about this anymore, let me ask you, how much coal does my shop need every month, do you know?"

Shunniang asked: "Does it cost more than [-] catties a month?"

Sister Song Yu: "Since I started cooking with charcoal last year, I have used less and less firewood. Now I need [-] catties of charcoal in summer, and I estimate that it will take [-] catties of charcoal in winter. Since you started Now that you have started this charcoal business, then give me two thousand catties of charcoal every month, and the money for buying charcoal will be settled every month. Again, after you start this charcoal business, if you need capital, you should borrow it from me , more convenient than others. Don’t feel that you owe me, I just want to watch you build up your family business, and you can walk with your chest up in Bianliang City in the future.”

"Thank you sister, my sister is really my noble person, and my sister is kind-hearted and magnanimous, I am grateful and admire it." Shun Niang cupped her hands at Sister Song Yu.

Sister Song Yu waved her hand, then said with a smile: "I went to Jiangnan this time, and I brought back some good tea. You can drink tea at my place some other day, and then we can have a good chat."

Shunniang told her that she would probably be busy for the next half a month, and only after completing the first charcoal sale could she visit Sister Song Yu and drink tea and chat with her.

Sister Song Yu: "Then I'll wait for you to come see me after you finish your first charcoal sale."

Shunniang agreed, and the two talked for a while, then Shunniang got up and said goodbye, saying that she had to go to another store to deliver seeds and sell charcoal.

Sister Song Yu got up and sent Shunniang out of the store, then came back, called the two accountants in the store, and continued to settle the accounts with them.

After Shunniang came out of the Songjiazheng store, she went with Qu Dalang to deliver seeds to the small foot shops under the Songjiazheng store, and sell charcoal by the way.

On the first day, before noon, she only had time to talk to more than 30 small foot shops about cooking with charcoal. These small foot shops seldom use charcoal for cooking, probably because charcoal is more expensive than firewood, and their business is not as good as Song Jiazheng. Good shop.Shunniang took a lot of talking, and then persuaded them to try a hundred catties of charcoal for a try, and then pay after they ran out. Only then did nearly half of the foot shops agree to try it.It took her four or five days to persuade the 5000 or so small foot shops under the Songjiazheng store where she had previously delivered bean sprouts to agree to try the charcoal she sent.

Next is the Weijiazheng store, and the small foot stores under the Weijiazheng store. The sales volume at the end is similar to that of the Songjiazheng store, and except for the Weijiazheng store, which is willing to pay on delivery, the other small foot stores are also given by Shunniang first. Using the discount, they only asked for the charcoal that Shun Niang promoted.

Finally, there are some small foot shops that Shunniang has contacted over the past year to deliver seeds. The sales volume of these small foot shops is about [-] catties. Except for a very small number of small foot shops that have used charcoal and are willing to pay cash on delivery, the others are also trial. .

Shunniang counted, she worked hard to sell charcoal for half a month, and she was able to sell [-] jin of charcoal, with a profit of about [-] jin. However, only [-] jin of this profit was cash, and the other [-] jin were paid in advance. .Only when the charcoal is transported to sell in the next month can the cost be recovered.If the wages for hiring the three Lei family brothers to guard the convoy were counted, then she would have to pay another nine pennies.

In this way, she went to Heshan to buy coal for the first time, and transported it to Bianliang City for sale, which was equivalent to paying 26 Qiguan, but she couldn't make any money.Only by sending down the charcoal can we earn it back.

After listening to Shunniang's calculation, Hei Wa murmured, "This business is not going to be safe. I'm afraid that those small foot shops will not be good if they use it, so they won't do it in the future. If so, the sales volume will be too small, and the charcoal business will be in danger." It can’t be done. Unless we don’t want the Lei family brother to be the guard, maybe we can go on.”

Shunniang told him not to worry about sales at all. She believed that those small foot shops that had never used charcoal for cooking would continue to ask for charcoal. It will get better and better.Besides, she felt that she still had the capital of dozens of pennies and could afford it.

Since sharing the accounts with the old lady, Shunniang also has nearly [-] guan in capital, and she thinks that these capitals can be used to start the charcoal business.After calculating the cost of the first transaction, it turned out that money was to be put into it, and she did not give up her idea of ​​making a big profit in the coal business.

Just when Shunniang was selling charcoal she wanted to sell under the scorching sun in Bianliang City, and got an order of about [-] catties, Shitou followed Shunniang's instructions and pretended to be a small shopkeeper and went to Leijia Village in the depths of Heshan. He Xijiacun really found out some things, and probably told Lei Dalang that Shunniang didn't find out much.Shunniang specially asked Shitou to check the three Lei family brothers in Chaleijia Village. Shitou came back and told Shunniang that there were indeed three Lei Dalang brothers.

After listening to Shitou's words, Shunniang believed that the three brothers of the Lei family were indeed forced to rob the Tao due to their family circumstances. In this way, when she went to see the three brothers of the Lei family, she only asked them how they would deal with being identified. Things that have been robbed can decide whether to use them or not.

After sorting out the coal business, it was time to meet the three brothers of the Lei family.

Originally, Xie Erniang had been raised by her natal family for half a month, and her hand injury had completely healed, except for a light scar left after the scalded wound on her left hand healed.Shunniang could have asked the old lady to take her home, but out of distrust of the cheap mother, Shunniang thought it would take three or four days to go to Heshan to buy coal, and then transport it back to Bianliang City to sell it. When she was not at home, she was afraid that the cheap mother would not change her nature and would make something wrong again, so she asked Erniang Xie to stay at home for another two or three days, and then go back with herself when she came back from Heshan.

As for why she had to go out for a few days and not come home when asked by her mother, Shun Niang said that the brother Chen Dalang whom she met last time invited her to see the spices, and she felt that the spice business could also be done, so she went to have a look.

Although Mrs. Liu had doubts, she was a village woman and she couldn't think too far, so she told Shun Niang to go back early.

Shunniang agreed, and still kept company with Heiwa, took the money, and went to the Bianliang Canal to take a boat to Jincheng Town.

This time she was more careful, she would rather pay 35 Wen more than renting a donkey, and the two of them spent [-] Wen to Jincheng Town, rather than renting a donkey and riding to Jincheng Town, mainly because this time She and Hei Wa carried [-] pennies in their luggage, and if they encountered robbers on land, they would be in trouble.

It happened to be noon when the boat arrived at Jincheng Town from Bianliang City. Shunniang took Heiwa to the inn in the middle of the town where she first came to Jincheng Town for the first time. Feeling, woke up in the afternoon, and then went to the little foot shop where I had agreed to meet with the Lei brothers when I left Jincheng Town.

As soon as the two entered, they saw Lei Dalang. Lei Dalang was very happy when he saw Shunniang, and quickly called the two of them to sit down. When we got here, the manager ordered a jug of wine and some broad beans, and waited for Shunniang and Heiwa while eating and drinking.

After Shunniang sat down, she asked about his brothers. Lei Dalang said that they were digging coal in the mine, and if they all followed, they would delay their wages, so he, the eldest brother, came first.

"Brother Lei, let's be smart and don't talk dark words. I have something I want to ask my brother. I wonder if my brother can tell me how to solve this matter?"

"Second Brother Xi, please tell me."

"It's like this. After I went back, I thought that you and your brother had robbed other people's money in Heshan before. If you were the guard of my convoy transporting charcoal, and you were recognized by someone later, and you got a lawsuit, you will be killed." My employer is also involved, so what should I do?"

Lei Dalang was upset when he heard that, and asked Shunniang if she used this as an excuse not to hire them anymore and wanted to break the contract.

Shunniang hurriedly explained that she had no such intention at all, and that she really wanted to hire the three brothers, but before hiring them, she had to explain many things clearly to ensure that the business would be done safely in the future.

After listening to Shunniang's explanation, Lei Dalang was relieved. After thinking for a while, he said that the three brothers were willing to write a letter of guarantee to Shunniang. Write a labor contract. They are only temporarily employed to transport coal for Shunniang. The wages are settled every time they are transported. Afterwards, they will transport coal and hire them temporarily. In this way, Shunniang, a temporary employer, will not be implicated. guilty.

With these two contracts in black and white in hand, Shunniang thought that there would probably be no problems, and she felt that the three brothers of the Lei family were also poor, and if she could help them, they might never do it again. If something that breaks the law takes the right path, it can be regarded as a good deed.

"Okay, then according to Brother Lei's idea, write down the two documents that Brother Lei said, and put your fingerprints on them. I will hire Brother Lei and your brothers to deliver the charcoal for me to protect my business." Shun Niang said cheerfully.

The three spent some food and wine in the store, went out, went to the streets of Jincheng Town, and found someone who specialized in writing this type of documents to write two documents. Lei Dalang also pressed his fingerprints on them, and then handed them to Shunniang.Shunniang looked at it and put it in her sleeve.Then I went to see the place where Jincheng Town rented ox carts, rented ten ox carts, and agreed to go to Heshan to transport coal early in the morning, and then went to the wharf to find ships, found two cargo ships, and agreed on the price and delivery. time, and paid a deposit, and then go back.

After arranging these things, it was dark.

On the way back, Shunniang asked Lei Dalang to follow her and Heiwa to the rented inn, let him share a room with Heiwa, and went to Heshan to transport coal tomorrow morning. As for the place to buy coal, Shunniang went to The first time I inquired about a large coal mine.

The next day, the genius was bright, Shunniang and the others had already woken up, and after a hasty breakfast, the three of them went to the place where the ox cart was rented yesterday. The owner of the car rental had found seven drivers for them according to Shunniang's request. Shunniang, Heiwa, and Lei Dalang drove the remaining three ox carts.

There is only more than 30 miles from Jincheng Town to Heshan. The convoy hired by Shunniang ran on the road for about an hour, and arrived before Chenshi (nine o'clock), and then went to a large coal mine named Liao Wu. He bought [-] catties of charcoal as previously agreed to subsidize him and bought [-] catties of charcoal, and used large wicker baskets to load Shunniang's car.

When Liao Wu's hired workers were loading Shunniang's convoy, Lei Dalang went a few miles away, and the coal mine where his two brothers were digging found the two of them to help load the cars.

After working for more than an hour, the 58 jin of charcoal that Shunniang bought was finally loaded into the car. She gave Liao [-] money, and then agreed to buy his charcoal again at this time next month, and then directed the convoy to Jincheng Town go.The three Lei family brothers sat in three bullock carts, one in front and two behind, and escorted Shunniang's convoy to arrive safely at Jincheng Town Wharf.

It was noon when we arrived at Jincheng Town Wharf, the hottest time of the day, Shunniang and the others had been busy all morning, without even taking a sip of water, they were busy getting [-] jin of charcoal from the cart It was unloaded and carried to two cargo ships.It took more than an hour to load the ship, and by the time all the charcoal was loaded on the ship, it was already the beginning of Shenshi (three o'clock in the afternoon).Shunniang gave all the money for renting the car and hiring the brothers from the Lei family, and gave an extra meal to the hired workers who helped to load the ship. Then she said goodbye to everyone, boarded the cargo ship, let the owner drive the ship, and went to Go to Bianliang City.

At this time, Shunniang and Heiwa had time to sit down and drink some water, eat some dry food, and sit and rest in the simple cabin.

It was already dark when the two charcoal cargo ships arrived at Bianliang City. When the boats docked, Shunniang took Heiwa off the boat and went to a small foot shop to eat and go to the bathroom. of charcoal.She made an appointment with Hei Wa to sleep alone for a few hours, in exchange, until the next morning, when it was dawn.It was Shunniang who went ashore again to look for the ox cart, and the hired workers brought two boats of charcoal off the ship and loaded them into the ox cart.By the time all the charcoal is unloaded from the boat and loaded into the truck, it will be already high in the sun.

After paying the ship owner's money, Shunniang and Heiwa led five ox carts to deliver the goods separately. After delivering all the goods, it was already late afternoon (five o'clock) when the two met again.

When returning to Yangliu Town in the oxcart driven by Qu Dalang to deliver the students, Shunniang and Heiwa slept directly on the empty oxcart.

These two days have exhausted them terribly, even though Hei Wa is physically stronger than the average person, she is also tired at this time, after getting on the bullock cart, she lay down and closed her eyes, and after a while she started to sleep and snore.

As for Shun Niang, she was hungry and thirsty, her lips were chapped, and her eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. She also lay down, and fell asleep head to head with Hei Wa, regardless of the difference between men and women.

When Qu Dalang drove the ox cart into the backyard of Xie's house, Erniang Xie ran down and woke Shunniang up, and Shunniang woke up Heiwa again.

Seeing that Shunniang's eyes were bloodshot, Xie Erniang felt sorry for her, and said that she would go back with Shunniang, wait for her to take a bath, and cook her something delicious.

Shunniang waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about me. I'll be at home tomorrow, and I'll ask my mother to go to Xie's house with me to pick you up. You just go back with me. Don't you want to save your reputation? We two will be together in the future." There are many days, not at this time."

Then she smiled and told Xie Erniang in a low voice that this time the charcoal sale was completed, and by this time next month, she would make money, and the first sum of money belonging to them was in the money pot of the two's small family , She gave Xie Erniang all the money.

Xie Erniang looked at the exhausted Shunniang, and also smiled, saying that Shunniang had worked hard, and praised her for her ability.

While the two were talking, Xie Yi and his wife also came over. They were also very concerned about Shunniang's trip to Heshan to buy charcoal and sell charcoal. gave them a listen.

Xie Yi and his wife were naturally happy when they heard this, and immediately invited Shunniang to have dinner at Xie's house before going back. Anyway, the food and drinks at home are ready-made.

Shun Niang glanced at Xie Erniang, and wanted to stay with her for a while, so she went to wash her hands, and went with Xie Erniang to eat in the main room of Xie's family. Therefore, it was summer, and Xie's family ate in the main room on the ground floor. There was a draft here cool.

She ate at Xie's house, and Xie's next door, Mrs. Liu knew that Shunniang was back from her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qi, who went to fetch water from Xie's house, so she didn't go home, so she went directly to Xie's house for dinner, feeling unhappy.She said that Shunniang's heart is getting more and more wild now, and it is not easy to do business. She must have been bewitched by Xie Erniang to make those unreliable deals, and wanted to earn private money for Xie Erniang. You can't let Shun Niang prodigal.
