Blessings of Time Traveling

Liu Nianwen grew up holding an abacus with his left hand and a whip with his right.Although she seems a little young in daily life, she is actually very insightful in some things.This is what Mrs. Zhao is most satisfied with Liu Nianwen. She doesn't feel that a strong daughter-in-law is bad for her son at all.On the contrary, in Mrs. Zhao's view, the nerdy Shiro needs a daughter-in-law who can take care of things.

So, Mrs. Zhao raised her head slightly, and Liu Nianwen understood what the old lady meant.

Liu Nianwen moved a chair and placed it beside the old lady, then leaned on the old lady's lap like a cat, and asked Qi Mingcheng with a smile, "Brother Mingcheng, why don't you tell me first, what are you doing now?" What kind of business?" She has learned from Saburo and Shiro in this name.

The Liu family is a family of petty officials, there are quite a few low-ranking petty officials in the clan, and the one with the highest official position is only an eighth-rank official.Of course, for ordinary people, her family background is enough.These small officials and officials formed a large network of relationships.

In addition to those who are officials, those who are fast catchers, and those who are bosses, there are naturally people in the Liu family who make a living by other means.

At this moment, the family uncle they were talking about was the one who ran the bodyguard bureau at home.He is considered to be the more profitable member of the Liu family, and he sends a lot of money to the family every year. After buying the land for sacrifices and taking care of widows and widows, the money will become the way for those small officials to manage their relationships. Once the official's clansmen have gained a firm foothold, they will in turn give some convenience to the person who opened the escort agency, which can be regarded as a virtuous circle.

This so-called "doing something convenient" cannot be said to be self-serving.There must be selfishness.But there is also a saying that there are people in the Yamen who are easy to handle.If there is no one in the yamen, if you get stuck here and there, you won't be able to do anything without bleeding some blood.But if there are people in the yamen, everyone will give each other face, even if there is no need to favoritism, and the matter will be handled according to the normal process, this is also very good.

Liu Nianwen openly talked about his natal family.Qi Mingcheng also answered frankly: "I mainly do food and clothing business. And it's a long-term business. As long as everything is managed well, I can keep doing it. As for other things, I will add them up later."

Mrs. Zhao patted Liu Nianwen's back lightly, and Liu Nianwen became more and more delicate in front of her.The two acted like a mother and daughter.

"Food and clothing?" Liu Nianwen asked.If we only talk about food and clothing, the scope is too broad.

Yuzhu'er couldn't understand what the adults were saying, so she grabbed Qi Mingcheng's hand holding the white sugar cake and stuffed it into Qi Mingcheng's mouth.

Qi Mingcheng finally understood what Yu Zhuer meant, and quickly took a big bite out of the white sugar cake. After swallowing it with difficulty, he first said thank you to Yu Zhuer, and then continued to say to Liu Nianwen: "Let's talk about the clothes first, I'm going The Northwest Army is a selling point. The clothes I provide can be the same style as the four seasons uniforms of the soldiers of the Northwest Army.” At this time, public opinion has been stirred up among the people, and the common people respect the Northwest Army very much.

"The autumn and winter clothes are cold-resistant. Although the spring and summer clothes are lighter, they are of good quality and the material is very strong." Qi Mingcheng added.These quilts are all made according to the requirements of the military, and there is absolutely no problem with the quality. Although the price of the ready-made clothes is a bit more expensive than that of ordinary people buying cloth and tailoring themselves, what if the clothes are durable?Wouldn't it be a good deal if one piece of clothing was worth two or three pieces they made themselves?

Moreover, there is another point that Qi Mingcheng didn't say.

The quality of this thing, only after the common people buy it back and wear it, and after a long time, they will understand that it is worth the money.So how to stimulate their consumption at the beginning?Shen Ling has a share in Qi Mingcheng's business, that is to say, part of the money he earns will be given to Shen Ling.Then, since he advertised with the Northwest Army, he can make this advertisement more reasonable.He can directly say that every time he sells a piece of clothing, one penny of the profit from the clothing—or a few pennies, in short, the specific amount can be determined in the future—is donated to the Northwest Army.This means that as long as the common people buy clothes, they will contribute to the construction of the Northwest Army.

With such a good public opinion environment now (and in the next few years), such a sales method is completely feasible!

"As for food..." Qi Mingcheng couldn't help laughing, "I'm afraid you won't believe me. I have a variety of food in my hand, and the quantity is relatively large. However, whether it's clothes or food, this business is not good. What is going to be done right away will have to wait another year or two.”

If ordinary people say such things, I am afraid that everyone will think that he is bragging, and the cowhide will be blown to pieces.

However, Mrs. Zhao believed in Qi Mingcheng.When Zhao Chengyi wrote letters home, he always spared no effort to say good things about Qi Mingcheng.Even though Zhao Chengyi won't tell the specific things, as long as he keeps emphasizing "I'm sorry for Mingcheng" and "Fortunately for Mingcheng", the Zhao family will vaguely guess something.If Qi Mingcheng is really doing ordinary business, can he not go home for several years, and dare not even send more letters?

The old lady Zhao was afraid that Liu Nianwen would think wrongly, so she quickly smoothed things over and asked, "Why do you have to wait another year or two?"

"Because the goods in my hand are still marketable now. But it will take one or two years sooner, or two or three years later, the sales over there will be... I am just planning for a rainy day, and I can be sure that the rainy day will It will definitely come." Qi Mingcheng hinted very vaguely.

In fact, Qi Mingcheng has already given a lot of information, after all, he has said the words "Northwest Army" in his speech.Yuzhu'er stared at Qi Mingcheng as he finished eating the white sugar cake, as if he had finally completed a very important event, and went to look for Sanlang to learn how to read.

Liu Nianwen clapped his palms and laughed loudly, "If brother Mingcheng really intends to discuss business with that uncle of my natal family, then the time difference of one or two years is really good! He originally opened an escort agency, not a businessman. Give him more time, and he will be able to prepare well."

This is exactly what Qi Mingcheng meant.The reason why he left Nanlu now is also considering that the development of many tasks will take time.

There is a swear word here in Lidong Town, you can't rush to dig a latrine when the shit is about to fall into your crotch.This is a bit rough, but not rough.

"How long can Mingcheng stay at home this time? If you are not in a hurry, in March, Silang will accompany Liu Er to Ning, and you will be walking with them." Old lady Zhao said again with a smile , "I don't understand these things, you all figure it out yourself."

"Mother, if you don't understand, then I don't understand at all. I'm pretending to understand!" Liu Nianwen said.

Qi Mingcheng turned on the fire in the stove and said, "I don't have anything urgent to do. I originally planned to go out for a run after the year." But now he is very interested in Liu Nianwen's uncle, so he simply stayed at home Stay until March, wait until you meet Liu Nianwen's clan uncle.

"By the way, I wrote a letter to Zhao Chengyi in the summer, and told him in the letter that I would go home for the New Year this year. He... If he can get a leave of absence, he will come back for the New Year, right? If he can't make it in time for the New Year, he won't. We have to catch up with the first month." Qi Mingcheng gave the old lady a surprise as he spoke.

What the old lady misses the most on weekdays is Zhao Chengyi and Zhao Xiaomei, who have been away all year round. When she heard that Zhao Chengyi might come back this time, she immediately couldn't close her mouth from laughing, and said repeatedly: "That must come back! If he doesn't come back, when can we get married!"

Qi Mingcheng didn't feel embarrassed at all, and responded to the old lady's words openly: "Well, we will get married when he comes back."

Liu Nianwen originally wanted to take the opportunity to tease Qi Mingcheng, but he didn't expect that Qi Mingcheng didn't give her a chance to tease her at all.Not only that, Qi Mingcheng also made fun of Liu Nianwen in turn.He said to the old lady: "Hey, when Sanlang and Shiro got married, I sent people a wedding gift. Now it's my turn to Chengyi. Mother, you must keep an eye on them, and insist on asking them to suppress you." Take out all the good things at the bottom of the box and send them to us!"

"Okay! The ones that Ah Xin can put in the bottom of the box are nothing more than some sugar cakes and desserts, and I'll give them to you!" Liu Nianwen said quickly.

Shiro came back from work outside and was about to enter the house to greet the old lady.He stood under the eaves and stomped the snow on his shoes when he heard his wife give away all his snacks.Shiro breathed a sigh of relief in the dark, but fortunately he still had a plate of chestnut cake hidden in Yuzhuer's place.

"Then what is Saburo's most precious thing? Shiro sent sugar cakes, and Sanlang has to take out his beloved thing!" Qi Mingcheng said pretending to be distressed.He said one thing, Liu Nianwen said another, the old lady's laughter never stopped, she just thought that these two children were too cute.

Shiro betrayed his brother without hesitation, saying: "My third brother... His most precious thing is the purse that his third sister-in-law gave him. Brother Mingcheng, it is not easy for you to make my third brother feel sad? Ask the third sister-in-law for a picture of double happiness embroidered by her, the third brother must be very envious."

The double happiness picture is so auspicious. It is usually given by married couples who are married and beautiful to newlyweds. It has a particularly good meaning.

Qi Mingcheng felt that Shiro had failed his studies, and he was probably taken by his wife, so he said with a smile: "All right, all right, when I see Saburo later, I will tell him that you gave me a good idea." Shiro I was always "bullied" by Saburo before, and I was a little afraid of Saburo when I was joking.

Shiro was completely fearless at the moment.Hehe, his wife can make a whip, hehehehe.
