North and South groceries

Qiao Junlin went out for an outing with a few classmates to enjoy the autumn. On the way, he met a classmate's uncle and some friends of his uncle, so the two people got together to drink and write poems by the river.

When the interest was high, one of Qiao Junlin's classmates said that Qiao Junlin was the best at dancing swords, and asked him to dance a song to cheer everyone up. On the other side, the elders of the gentry who were older than them were also quite interested. Fuqin.

In such an atmosphere, if Qiao Junlin shirks, it will be very disappointing, especially the one who wants to play the piano, he will definitely feel that Qiao Junlin is not giving him face.So he didn't say anything, raised his long sword and danced.

During the change of moves, the faces and expressions of those present were all in front of his eyes, some admired, some disapproved, some were contemptuous, and some gloated.

The same behavior, if placed on some gentry children, is willful and personable, but on him, it becomes flattery and has no character.

It's just that in the situation just now, between offending people and being despised, he made a decision after a little weighing.

So what if he is underestimated, in this environment where everything is about parentage, every gasp he takes will be underestimated.

Can he stop breathing in order not to be despised?He will not stop doing anything because of the contempt of these people, on the contrary, there are many things he wants to do.

"Okay! Great dance!" After the song was over, some people applauded and applauded.

"I'm laughing!" Qiao Junlin slightly put away the coldness in his eyes, and with a smile on his face, he cupped his hands to everyone present.

"Come, come, I need to respect Qiao Dalang's cup."

"What do you want to respect him for nothing?"

"..."

After the melody was over, the river bank became lively again, and everyone was talking and drinking, having a good time.

At this time, Qiao Junlin had also put away the indifference and combing in his eyes, and he was talking to everyone present with a smile on his face. He spoke and behaved quite gracefully. Sorrows and joys, it seems that they don't care very much.

There are also some rumors on the side of Simen School that Qiao Junlin is a deep-minded and narrow-minded person. Even if you offend him in person, he will not let you see it, and will only find opportunities to mess with you behind the scenes.

In fact, Qiao Junlin was just being patient.As for whether he would mess with them behind his back, if he saw some opportunity, he would naturally have to mess with them, and forget about spending time and energy on messing with them.

To say that Qiao Junlin is a narrow-minded person is not completely false. This kid has a good memory. If you offend him, you basically don't have to expect him to forget by himself because of his bad brain.

Just like the classmate who suddenly asked him to come out to dance the sword today, it was because he was not as good at arithmetic as Qiao Junlin when he was in Xipo Village. Coffin Baner established a friendship, but the other party didn't give him face. At this time, he played such tricks, and he was really worse than a woman.

Maybe it's hard to tell if you really learned from a woman, I heard that in Chang'an City, many people's back houses are not very peaceful.

Qiao Junlin held up the wine cup, hiding a slight smile from the corner of his lips.

And here in Lishi County.

In fact, it wasn't just Luo Yong, Zhao Chen was also a little worried about whether the grasshopper was sent by the thief as a spy.

So he temporarily changed his mind, and let most of the subordinates he brought with him go to Ningshuo County this time, leaving only two, plus himself, to continue buying pears in Pingyi County.

After this batch of canned pears was sent out, the other cans stopped moving for a while, and they were all left in Lishi County, waiting for the Zhao family from Liangzhou City to come and carry them. When delivering the goods in Ningshuo County, by the way, bring this word back to the people in Liangzhou.

The porters were soon in place, with 20 people per team, and each team had ten vehicles. Because the cans transported this time were all packed in porcelain bottles, they used two-wheeled vehicles this time.

In this era, two-wheeled vehicles and unicycles are more common. Unicycles are light, but they cannot carry too many heavy goods, and there is always the danger of overturning. Two-wheeled vehicles are heavier and harder to push, but they can hold more Most of the goods are mostly drawn by livestock or pushed by human hands.

This group of people marched from Lishi County all the way to the west, Luo Yong was still a little worried, and asked Zhao Chen if they would be targeted by gangsters.

But Zhao Chen waved his hand and said: "Walking outside, how can we not deal with bad people, as long as these porters are all right, and my subordinates are escorting them all the way, such a large team, it's not just gold, silver, and silk. Why do those villains fight with their lives?"

Luo Yong thought it was true. Those who rely on robbing houses for a living, how can they have such a good channel to sell these canned pears at a good price? Even if they have such channels, they will not dare to easily can these stolen goods Take it out and sell it, once the matter is revealed, I am afraid that even the heel will be pulled out by then.

After the first batch of canned food was sent away, the subsequent processing and production was not as tense as it was at the beginning.

Seeing that the operation of the canning workshop is on track, there is no need to keep an eye on it, so Luo Yong went back to his Xipo Village, and Zhao Chen and the others, in addition to purchasing pears in Pingyi County, they also plan to Go to other surrounding areas to have a look.

In Xipo Village, the two little guys, Siniang and Wulang, greeted Luo Yong back with mournful faces.

The reason is that recently there have been various engraved and printed pamphlets in Lishi County, such as "The Analects of Confucius" and "The Book of Songs", and there are more than one or two editions.

For such a thing, Luo Yong had already expected it. Since it was profitable, it was only a matter of time before a competitor appeared.

However, Siniang and Wulang couldn't accept it. They worried about the pile of brochures in the shop over there all day long. Because they had sold well before, they didn't worry about sales at all, so they increased the number of publications. very big.

The evil result of this is that they took a lot of money from Luo Yong, bought a lot of paper ink and dyes, and printed a lot of booklets. At this moment, they don't even know how to get back the capital, let alone make money.

The siblings scratched their heads and couldn't think of a good way to sell books, so they had to come to ask Luo Yong, who knew that Luo Yong couldn't give them one or two useful suggestions, so they told them to slow down. Selling slowly, or selling at a reduced price, is also an unavoidable thing.

Siniang and Wulang were reluctant to sell at a lower price, hesitated for several days, and finally decided to lower the price a little, and then sell slowly.

"How much is this booklet for you?" On this day, a group of merchants from other places went to Xipo Village to buy goods. After buying some goods at the sheep house, they came to the village entrance to have a look, and ate at Xu's guest house. After lunch, I wandered around the bookstore next door.

"Eleven cents for a brochure." Si Niang looked at these people expectantly. These people looked like big business stocks. Would they buy their own brochures? Would they buy a lot at once?

"Sirs, please drink water." Goro enthusiastically brought out several bowls of water from the back room, and he really wanted to make this deal.

"I've heard that the brochures from Fenzhou are similar to yours, and they only cost eight pennies." Some of the merchants in that group said that merchants like them came out to buy things. Bisanjia is the most basic.

"Then they don't use the same kind of paper as we do." Si Niang replied casually.In the past two days, she has heard a lot of such things. As for how to deal with it, she has sorted out a way of thinking.

"It doesn't matter what kind of paper you use? As long as the handwriting can be seen clearly." The other party said with a smile.

"If you want a cheap one, you only need to use a kind of hemp paper that is slightly better than ordinary hemp paper, cut it and print it into a book. You can buy a copy for only five yuan. Do you want to order?" Four Mother asked them solemnly.

"Hahaha, it's not that we want to buy those poor-quality booklets, but we suspect that your booklets are slightly more expensive than others'." One person present laughed.

"It's more expensive, but it's not too expensive." Luo Siniang replied.

Although these merchants do not deal in this kind of brochure business, seeing this fourth mother of the Luo family at a young age, she is able to look after the shop by herself like an adult, and she speaks clearly and logically. Apart from being novel, there is also a bit of it Admire.

So everyone took out some copper coins from their bodies and bought twenty or thirty booklets from this shop.After all, this is a brochure made by the Luo family themselves, and it is somewhat different from the brochures outside. It is also very good to buy a few and give them back to the family, and then tell them about the deeds of the Luo family in Xipo Village.

Both Si Niang and Wu Lang were very happy to make this deal, and they talked about it with Luo Yong at dinner that day, and their joy was beyond words.

When Luo Yong heard this, he just laughed and didn't say much except to be happy for them.

In fact, as early as when Si Niang and the others printed this kind of brochures in large quantities, Luo Yong had already realized that in the days to come, there would definitely be many people who followed suit in engraving and printing. If it declines, sales will also become a problem.

The reason why I didn't remind them is to let the two children feel the taste of frustration, and at the same time let them know that besides success in this world, there is also the possibility of failure, and that besides making money, there is also the possibility of losing money in business.

However, this matter cannot be explained to the two children face to face.

"The two of you have gotten a little angry recently, and I stewed some pear water with you. Let's eat it while it's hot."

"Wow! There's pear water!"

"Brother is really nice."

At this time, Si Niang Wu Lang really felt that the sum of the people in the world was not as good as his brother. They took so much money to buy paper, ink, and dyes, and he couldn’t sell so many brochures. Don't be annoyed, and eat pear water with the two of them...

Luo patted the brains of the two little boys with a smile, eat, eat, and continue to go out to face setbacks after eating.
