Taoyuan Farmhouse Daily

Before Chang Xisheng, the main force, was about to be taken away, Mrs. Cao had to settle the matter of hiring people for the stall.During the new employee's new job, Chang Xisheng had to follow along to help, so as not to mess up.Food stalls are currently the bulk of the Chang family's income, so they must be arranged properly.

The people hired were chosen by Mrs. Cao herself, and the one who went to the construction site with her was Mrs. Song, her little sister who had a good relationship in the village.Sister-in-law Song is nimble in her hands and feet, and she is honest and honest. Unlike the second-sister-in-law Cao's aggressive and talkative temperament, she is calm and doesn't like to talk very much.

Second Sister-in-Law Cao chose her instead of her natal family, because she didn't want someone to talk nonsense when she came back from business.Although everyone in Taoyuan Village knew that they had made a lot of money from this business, the exact amount was unknown, and if they knew it, it would be easy to make people jealous.This is also human nature, so don't make too much of yourself, so as not to cause trouble.

Not choosing from family members can also save money and make more money, and I feel unbalanced, and then I want to take advantage of it.Although Mrs. Cao thinks that her family is not like this, who knows if seeing more money will change?So just don't give it a chance.

At home, it is Mrs. Cao's sister-in-law and younger siblings who work at home. Both of them are quick in their hands and feet, and they are better at cooking on the stove.

The head of the family is supervised by Mrs. Sun, although they are relatives, they dare not have any crooked thoughts based on this name.After all, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is inherently sensitive, not to mention the relatives on the 'daughter-in-law' side, the relationship here is even more delicate.It's a family and opposites, so naturally you can't act presumptuously.

Second Sister-in-Law Cao told everyone the reasons for her selection, including her taboos towards her own family.It shows that although the relationship between the two of them is very good now, and they have chosen reliable people, just like what Chang Daddy worried about, Second Sister Cao is also worried that she has good intentions, but because of these things, she has conflicts with her natal family. That can't be wronged.

Although Papa Chang said that Mrs. Cao was in charge of the stall, it didn't mean that she completely let go of it, and still had to supervise it.After hearing this, everyone felt that Mrs. Cao was a clear-headed woman who thought farther than them, so they really felt relieved that she was solely responsible for the food stall.

Mrs. Song had just started working for a few days, and Chang Xisheng saw that she was fine, so she stopped following her to set up a stall, and began to think about how to open up sales.

Chang Xisheng didn't delay for a day, and ran to the county town the next day.Before leaving, he brought several jars of cornel sauce, spicy rice oil and tea oil, and stayed in the county for five days before returning home.

Although they had already greeted each other beforehand, everyone was unavoidably worried. After all, Chang Xisheng was away alone and had no relatives to turn to, nor a place to stay, so he didn't know what was going on.Although Chang Xisheng usually stayed at home at night, and every time he came back, he could talk to everyone and go to bed early, but it felt different when he was not at home.

Needless to say, Xing'er and Shanzi, Chang Xisheng was always thinking about when his father would come back the next day when he was not at home.The others couldn't help muttering, wondering how Chang Xisheng was doing in the county, where he lived, what he ate, how things were going, why there was no news at all, and he hadn't come back for so many days.

Grandma Sun, who is usually indifferent to Chang Xisheng, misses her very much. Although it is not that she has never gone out before, at that time, everyone was together or had a place to stay. It is especially worrying.

When Chang Xisheng came back on the fifth day, everyone felt that he had lost weight, but Chang Xisheng himself was full of joy.

Found a buyer in the county!

Everyone greeted them one after another and asked what happened.

After Chang Xisheng drank a glass of water, he began to speak enthusiastically.

As soon as he entered the county town, he took a few jars to various restaurants, small shops and grocery stores to sell them.Although the Qian family has a lot of business in the county, they still account for the majority, it's just that the business of the Qian family is relatively large and prosperous.

"Speaking of it, it's thanks to Xiaowu's suggestion that I wear new clothes and go to the county. When those people see that I still look like that, at least they are willing to talk to me. Unlike the restaurants I passed by before, those waiters The eyes look like they grow on the top of the head, if I dare to get close, I will be blasted out."

Chang Xisheng smiled and said, this time he really realized what it means to rely on clothes. Originally, Chang Xile asked his family to make him the best clothes and felt very distressed, but now he thinks it is really worth it!

In fact, this is not only due to the clothes, but also the confidence brought by Chang Xisheng's previous business success.This kind of appearance makes it easy for people to face it squarely.If it is submissive, you will look down on it at first glance, and it is easy to underestimate the things you take out.

Chang Xile smiled and said: "You have to be careful when doing business outside. This is still a small business, and you have to pay more attention to it in the future when you are doing big business. After all, we can't show money or anything in front of people at any time, so we have to rely on clothes to show that we have money." That strength. This is the atmosphere in the world, we cannot change it, we can only adapt and make use of it.”

Chang Xisheng nodded again and again, "That's reasonable. I was worried that people in big restaurants would ignore me, but luckily it went well. Although I was rejected by several companies, many people were still willing to listen to me. I At that time, I didn’t talk too much nonsense, just talked about the sauce that the imperial envoys like to eat most, and they immediately invited me in.”

Chang Xixing couldn't help but said: "This is not very good, what should I do if the imperial envoy listens to it?"

Chang Xisheng smiled and said: "The imperial envoy is not so stingy. I used to solicit business like this in Hedao. Besides, what I said is not false. The imperial envoy always likes this kind of spicy food. Our new one The imperial envoy has already bought two jars of cornel sauce."

Although Chang Xixing knew this reasoning, he couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed. He always felt that it was not suitable, but he didn't say much.

The following things went very smoothly, and the county knew about the situation on the other side of the river, and also knew that the Chang family made a lot of fresh food and made a lot of money.It's just that the county is too far away from there, and it's a small business, and ordinary restaurants don't bother to go there, but it's not worthwhile for small businesses to go there, so the Chang family is allowed to occupy the market.

Everyone heard that it was the credit of this thing, and they all wanted to try whether the taste was so good, even a high-ranking official from the capital like the imperial envoy could appreciate it.

The root of successful sales is that the product is good enough and suitable for the target of sales.

In this regard, the cornel sauce and spicy rice oil produced by the Chang family were no problem, which made Chang Xisheng's subsequent sales success.

"Speaking of which, we still have to thank the Qian family."

This made everyone confused.

Grandma Sun suddenly became unhappy: "Why do you have to thank the Qian family? What does this have to do with them? Could it be that you sold our family's things to them!?"

After saying this, everyone was a little unhappy. Although they were talking about business, they just didn't want to have anything to do with the Qian family.

Father Chang also frowned and said, "It won't work. Even if our family gives all these things to the people in the village, we can't associate with his Qian family."

Chang Xisheng quickly explained, "Father, mother, you misunderstood, I did not do business with the Qian family."

"Then why do you say thank you to the Qian family?" Grandma Sun asked puzzled.

Second Aunt Cao gave Chang Xisheng a straight look, "You've only been out for a few days, and you won't be happy talking, why don't you hurry up!"

Chang Xisheng rubbed his nose, and quickly explained: "Although the Qian family is powerful, they almost agree with each other in the county's business field, but it doesn't mean that there is no opponent. He is so unkind, and many shops in the county have long been unconvinced. It’s just that there’s nothing I can do about him. The reason why I haven’t been back these days is because I’ve been asking around which shop is the most difficult for the Qian family. If it’s for food, I’ll try my best to sell things to their house no matter how bad the other party’s attitude is. Didn't Xiao Wu say something, the enemy of an enemy is a friend, the food in our family is so good, even the ordinary taste can become super good when put into the food, making their business better is also adding trouble to the Qian family."

Chang Xisheng is very confident in his own things. Daoxiang County is very humid, so eating something spicy can also remove moisture.They didn't eat much before because they didn't know how to handle the dogwood, but now they have made the dogwood so refreshing that many people will definitely like it.

Besides the experience on the construction site, these dogwood sauces are absolutely delicious for those who like spicy food.Many people on the construction site now buy this dogwood paste to give away dry food. It is cheap and delicious.This also made Chang Xisheng feel that anyone who had tasted this thing would not be able to resist it.

When he was selling, he did not forget to state that these good things would not be sold to the Qian family.Moreover, people from all over the world know that they collect dogwood, and the price is not bad, so they basically send it to them.This also means that there must be very good people in Daoxiang County who have dogwood now, and their own dogwood has become a unique and rare commodity, and the Qian's store has less blind seasoning.In this way, just send someone a day, and they can be overwhelmed.

Of course, Chang Xisheng didn't say that directly, so he couldn't be caught.But it's just insinuating, everyone is smart and can understand it.

The hard work pays off in the end. Those restaurants that ignored Chang Xisheng before finally tried it under Chang Xisheng's soft grinding and hard soaking. Chang Xisheng even cooked a few spicy dishes himself to prove that the cornel sauce is seasoned. How good it is.So many shops were overwhelmed by the taste, and basically all of them were willing to buy dogwood sauce or spicy rice oil from Chang Xisheng.Not only that, but some people are willing to buy the tea oil brought by Chang Xisheng.

During the five days that Chang Xisheng went out, it can be said that he has achieved a lot, and he has more confidence in himself, and feels that it is not too difficult to achieve the goal.

Although Father Chang agreed that Chang Xisheng would start a business in the future, Chang Xisheng had to pass the test.That is, [-]% of the dogwood sauce and spicy rice oil must be sold in the county, and a certain amount of tea oil has also been set. As long as these are sold, he agrees to bring the business to the government.

After all, even in the relatively familiar places in the county, it is impossible to sell things, let alone in the unfamiliar mansion.

Chang Xisheng knew that this was not only because Father Chang wanted to test himself, but also because he wanted to give him a chance to exercise, so he was very attentive.

The small stall at the river construction site was used as preparations, coupled with Chang Xisheng's hard work, there have been a lot of orders in the past five days. If it wasn't for fear of family worries and the need to quickly deliver the goods to the food shop that ordered, Chang Xisheng would not come back now .He's just getting started now, and he's getting excited about it.

Although I was often rejected and even heard some ugly words, the sense of accomplishment every time I succeeded was stronger than that at the stall before.

Everyone was very happy to hear that Chang Xisheng had so many orders in the past few days.If things go on like this, they won't have to worry about such a bunch of gadgets in the future, and I'm afraid they won't be enough to sell by then.

"Second brother, these people have ordered so many goods, have you signed a contract with them or taken a deposit?"

Chang Xisheng was stunned when he heard Chang Xile's words. He was in a hurry to sell the things, but he forgot such an important thing!

"They're all old shops, so you don't have to go back on this point, right? There shouldn't be anything wrong, right?" Chang Xisheng was a little uncertain.

Before Chang Xile could speak, Father Chang reprimanded: "There is no reason in this world! Let's just let it be a small business now, but if the involvement is bigger, what will they do when the time comes? We have no proof , who to talk to when the time comes? I just praised you for doing things properly, but why did you make such a mistake!"

Chang Xisheng blushed immediately, and lowered his head in embarrassment, "It's because I didn't think carefully, and I forgot about it in a moment of complacency, so what should I do now?"

Chang Xile said: "Since those people agreed, there shouldn't be any trouble. But next time, you can't do this. You must develop a habit of making a contract, so as not to cause trouble easily if you don't have this awareness. Second brother, Although you are busy now, you still have to find time to learn how to read, and it is not acceptable to be illiterate when doing business abroad."

Chang Xisheng nodded again and again, "I remembered it this time, and I will definitely not make such a mistake next time. I will find time in the past few nights to practice the words you taught me before, and I have basically memorized them. I can learn them again." Type something new."

Chang Xile said: "I'll go and write the contract later, not only for you to make a contract with the buyer, but also for you to learn how to read. You memorize it when you are at home, and then you can read the contract when you are outside Learn characters."

"That's a good idea! If you ask me to recite poems or something, I can't do it, but if you ask me to recite the contract, I can definitely recite it without missing a single word."

"When you don't know all the words, don't make a contract with others indiscriminately. Just follow my version. If the other party is not willing, you can find a middleman to collect a deposit. Otherwise, you would rather not do this business. This is also right. Both parties are responsible. The contract I will give you will be almost the same, you just need to fill in the specific numbers on it. You have learned this before, so it won’t trouble you.”

Chang Xisheng is not fast at learning things, but he is very fast at learning numbers. Although he hasn't written yet, he has no problem recognizing them all.

Chang Xisheng understood the reason as soon as he heard it, "Cheng Lie, I won't let people play tricks on the contract."

Chang Xile nodded, "Second brother just remember it. Contracts are a good thing, but some people like to play tricks on them. Words can easily set traps, so you must be careful. You can't make contracts with people at will. Gotta figure it out."

Father Chang also said at this time, "Xiao Wu is right about this, don't let me hear you, you must remember it!"

Seeing this, Chang Xisheng paid more attention to it, and made a silent note in his heart that such prudence saved him a lot of twists and turns in his subsequent business.

"Father, it's inconvenient for us to travel with the county. The second brother must live in the county for a few days every time he goes, and it's not a problem to always live in the inn. Besides, we have to have a place to store our goods. I I think it’s better to rent a house in the county. Firstly, there is a place for the second brother to stay. Secondly, we can put the dogwood sauce there in advance, and we can hire people to transport more at a time. If someone needs to pick up the goods directly, it will be fine. , there is no need to run back and forth frequently, and delay things.”

Chang Xisheng also had this plan in the first place, but he was afraid that Father Chang would say that he was thoughtful, and now Chang Xile brought it up to solve his problem.

Although he lived in the cheapest Datong shop in the inn these days, he spent a lot of money after a few days.Not only that, but he also carried money and things in his hands. This kind of Chase shop always felt unsafe, and he couldn't sleep well at night, which was why he looked haggard.

Sure enough, although Papa Chang was silent for a while, he finally agreed.

"You kid, don't play wild with me outside alone. You don't have to learn all the tricks in the county, or I won't break your legs when the time comes!" Father Chang warned sharply.

Chang Xisheng hurriedly said: "Father, how can this be possible."

Father Chang snorted coldly, "I saw a lot when I was outside, and I don't know how much money I have in my hand. Our family doesn't like that kind of thing. If you raise one outside for me, don't If you say that the Cao family will not let you go, I will not recognize you as a son!"

Chang Xisheng never thought that this was what Chang Daddy would tell him, and he didn't know what to say for a while. He has a wife and children, so how could he think about these things.

The villagers of Taoyuan are simple and honest, and there are many and strict rules. They absolutely do not allow things that violate public morals to happen.

If there is any affair happening, both men and women will be thrown out of the village directly.If something like rape happened, they would not be thrown out, but killed directly, and no intercession would be allowed.There are many rules like this, which strictly restrict the behavior of each villager, even more effective than the imperial court's laws.

This is why Taoyuan Village is very peaceful and peaceful even though there are many people.There is no rule without rules, unlike some villages where there are no rules, naturally there will be more messy things in it.

In this world, officials of the fifth rank and above are not eligible to take concubines. Even if unqualified rich people or officials raise children, it is not through the Ming Road, and the rights and interests cannot be guaranteed.Because the officials wanted to restrain their behavior, they paid it off.Businessmen with some money like to keep their wives outside the most, firstly to satisfy their selfish desires, and secondly to use them for anxiety. After all, housewives are not suitable for these things.So this kind of atmosphere is very popular among businessmen. Although Chang Xisheng is not yet a businessman, Father Chang decided to take precautions before it happens, otherwise it will be too late to speak.

"Father, I, I am such a person."

Second Aunt Cao was also very surprised when she heard Chang's father's words. If Chang's father hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have thought about it!

Because the rules of Taoyuan Village are here, even if the men in Taoyuan Village have such a heart, they are not so courageous. In such an environment, she never thought that her man would find another woman.I don't know that in the outside world, after some men have money, their minds are wasted.

Father Chang ignored Chang Xisheng's embarrassment, and said with a serious face: "You are not the best, and everything is in harmony with the family. Only by controlling the waistband can the family prosper. If you play some nonsense, the family will fall apart." nothing left."

Chang Xisheng responded repeatedly, and when he turned around, he couldn't help but chatter with Chang Xile.

"Is our father being too careful recently? He has to remind us almost every night. I always feel that he has something in his heart from time to time? It seems that we are always afraid that our brothers will collapse tomorrow, and today it suddenly Speaking of this, am I that kind of person, dad is too careful, he was not like this before."

Chang Xile also felt a little strange, "Father should have his reasons for doing this. Didn't you hear from the old people that he used to go out to work, and even though he came back with money, he was very embarrassed? Maybe let's start a business and remind him It happened in the past. Anyway, let's just listen, it's really unreasonable for Dad to worry."

Chang Xisheng nodded, "Anyway, I'm happy now that I'm allowed to do business and don't need me to farm. I don't bother to deal with those messy things. If Dad is worried that I'm messing around outside, I'll wait until I find a place to stay outside. Bringing Shanzi with him just happened to let him start from elementary school, and he will inherit his father's career from now on."

Chang Xile laughed, "How old is Shanzi! Besides, he still has to learn characters from me, so we can't delay it."

Chang Xisheng patted his head, "Look at me, I forgot about it! Yes, yes, literacy is the most important thing, I can't wait until I am this age to learn it, it's too much effort."

During these days, the Chang family has been carrying out basic education, and the adults are generally not as good as the children, which makes everyone happy and sad.In fact, this is also because children's affairs are not as much as adults' minds, but it is not as good as children's face.This also makes the adults work hard to study, and the enthusiasm for learning is extremely high.

Chang Xile also learned a lot of experience from this small class training, and when she was not so busy for a while, she also knew how to enlighten the children in the village.

"However, after the completion of the river in two years, the business of the stalls will no longer be possible. The situation in the county is good, and my sister-in-law and two children are also going to find you. The family still has to be together, and you can't do it for business and yourself. The child is divided. At that time, Shanzi can go to school without worrying about missing homework. You can bring him around to teach, and it will be easy to take over your class in the future."

Seeing that he was thinking carefully, Chang Xisheng couldn't help sighing: "Xiao Wu, you said how old you are, why do you have so many things on your mind."

Chang Xisheng just rested at home for one night, and early the next morning, he hired two ox carts and two people from the village to transport a pile of cornel paste to the county.

And when the two hired villagers came back in the carriage at night, they brought back a piece of news to the Chang family.

Many merchants who ordered cornel sauce and other items with Chang Xisheng before broke the contract.
