Listening to Daughter-in-law

Chapter 22 Prelude to Doing Business

When Zhang Tian stayed at Qin Zhong's house for half a month, Chun Geng was almost too busy.Zhang Dahu also paid close attention to cultivating a relationship with Zhang Tian, ​​thinking of coaxing the younger one first, so that his wife would agree to let him into the bed and let Xiao Zhang Tian sleep alone.Qin Zhong was also happy to see them play together. Although Zhang Tian didn't like to cry, it was still too hard to take care of a three-year-old child, and he couldn't sleep well after tossing around. Squinting and resting.After sleeping for a while, Xiaoyan came in.

"Why are you sleeping again! Get up quickly, and go to the county seat with me to look at the shop."

"Shop? What kind of shop are you looking at?" Zhang Dahu asked from the side.

"It's because your wife and I agreed to open a store!" Xiaoyan said.

Hearing this, Qin Zhong sat up and looked at Xiaoyan, "Shop, just open? Haven't you thought about what to sell yet?"

"When you think about it, we are all old. I think you have forgotten. It was either spring plowing or Xiaotiantian. I didn't rush you. Now it is slack, and Yazi happened to have a good shop in his hand. I called Go and have a look, if it's good, I'll take the offer." Xiaoyan teased Zhang Tian, ​​asking him to call him "godfather".

Qin Zhong thought, yes, since he came here, he only spends money and doesn't make money. Before Zhang Dahu and his father saved a lot of money, this is not good!Now that he has a child, there is only a lot of money to spend, and he went to Datou just to buy the ewe that nourished Zhang Tian.It doesn't matter if you are doing business now, you can't do farm work by yourself, so you have to find a way elsewhere!After thinking about it, he got up and walked towards the door, "I said I went to see the shop! It's getting late later!" Xiaoyan pinched Zhang Tian's chubby face reluctantly.Zhang Dahu wanted to follow, but Qin Zhong said, "Why are you going! Be honest and take care of the child at home!" Blocked his footsteps, Zhang Dahu thought sadly, since the child came, he has become more and more worthless!At first, I wanted to instruct the baby, and asked the baby to say that I would go, but I was dismissed by saying, "Be good, baby, dad is coming back to buy you candy."The abandoned eyes of one big and one small made Xiaoyan laugh, "I'm back today! What are you two doing!"

After leaving the yard, Leopard was already waiting in his car. The two got into the car, and the car drove away.In the carriage, Xiaoyan asked Qin Zhong what he wanted to sell.Qin Zhong wanted to see the shop first, and Xiaoyan said that salted duck in sauce must be sold, Qin Zhong laughed, should you sell it or eat it yourself!Xiao Yan laughed.

Arriving at the street, I first picked up the Yazi at the Yazi shop, and then walked into the shop. After a while, I arrived at the shop. Yazi attentively led Xiaoyan to look up and down, while Qin Zhong took a look outside first. At the corner of the intersection, although it is not on Shitiao Street, it is not far from the street. The street is very lively with people coming and going. There is a small market nearby, and there are many merchants. It is said that this shop used to be a teahouse, and the business It's okay, but the shop owner pushed the shop out because of something at home, and Xiaoyan and Yazi had agreed in advance that if there was a good shop, he would leave it to him, so when the shop said it was going to be replaced, Yazi told him without anyone saying anything. Small talk.Xiaoyan hurriedly pulled Qin Zhong over.Qin Zhong saw that the location of this shop was not bad, but in Qin Zhong's mind, it was a bit too big, and it didn't need such a big place to sell salted duck.The shop is divided into two floors, and the area is very spacious. In addition to the kitchen, there is a small yard behind the shop, and there are three rooms.Qin Zhong thought that he could live here if he hired someone.When Qin Zhong went upstairs, Xiaoyan was discussing the price with the shopkeeper. Qin Zhong looked out of the window, and he could see the bustling market in the north, and the uneven roofs in the distance, but he could see the Arriving at Yuhu Lake, the largest lake in the city, Qin Zhong thought, the scenery is really good.At this time, Xiaoyan came over, pulled Qin Zhong aside and said, "Qin Zhong, the shopkeeper said that if you want to buy it, you must pay 20 taels of silver, if you want to rent it, you must rent it for half a year, and you only need to pay the rent in one lump sum. Five taels of silver. Do you think we should buy or rent!" Qin Zhong said with a smile. "What do you think!" Xiaoyan punched him, "Ask you! Me! I want to buy it! It's just that 20 taels is not too little." Qin Zhong said, "If you want to buy it, you can buy it, Dahu There is still some money, but it’s such a big place, we have to figure out what to sell.” Now that Qin Zhong said so, Xiaoyan felt relieved, Xiaoyan and Yazi, the shopkeeper agreed to come over tomorrow to transfer ownership, and watched the sun set to the west, Qin Zhong and Xiaoyan went back first.On the way back, Xiaoyan took out a pen and paper and calculated the money and silver that would be spent to open a shop, while Qin Zhong was thinking about what kind of shop to open.It was quiet all the way.

When he arrived in the village, Qin Zhong said that since it was dark, let's go to my house for dinner!It's better for Dahu to do so-so than to go home by himself, so Xiaoyan and Leopard should be.At home, Zhang Dahu had already cooked meals for the four of them.When Zhang Tian saw Qin Zhong coming back, he immediately rushed forward, wanting to hug and ask for candy, Qin Zhong realized that he had forgotten a big thing, that is, he forgot to buy candy for the baby. A bunch of candied haws came out, Qin Zhong saw Zhang Tian smiling, and thanked Leopard for helping him out, told Zhang Tian not to eat too much, and turned to Xiaoyan, "Leopard likes children so much, why don't you go?" Adopt one?" Xiaoyan curled his lips, "You think a child can be adopted if he wants to! It also has a fate." Xiaoyan helped put the food on the table, and during the meal, Qin Zhong said, "Since Xiaoyan wants to If we sell salted duck in sauce, let’s open a small restaurant.”

"People in Sha County love to eat, so it's good to be in the food business, but there's also a lot of competition. You don't need such a big place to sell salted duck in sauce!" Leopard was the one who spoke.

"Not only are we selling salted salted duck, we can also sell braised vegetables and buy some fast food," Qin Zhong said.

"Fast food?" The three said in unison.

Qin Zhong explained, "It's a saying in my hometown. This fast food is easy to make and fast. It can be sold at any time of the day. The taste is different from ordinary restaurants."

"Well, it doesn't matter, what you sell is your business, and I will mainly manage the store." Xiaoyan said, "It's just Qin Zhong, when you go to the kitchen, you may be too tired. You must invite people, but, In the kitchen, do you want to buy a servant?"

"Buy any slaves, just recruit a few people." Qin Zhong said, he was still very uncomfortable with buying and selling human lives.

After dinner, Qin Zhong took a piece of silver from the house and gave it to Xiaoyan, "That's all the silver from our family will be given to you." Xiaoyan didn't shirk, and took it.Qin Zhong said: "I still have some loose silver at home. Tomorrow you go to transfer the ownership, and I will buy some raw materials and spices." Qin Zhong said, "The shop needs to be redecorated." Qin Zhong and Xiaoyan said so and so on. said.Leopard and Duhu couldn't talk at the side, thinking about it, if my daughter-in-law is doing business, I just need to do the logistics myself.

The next day, Leopard and Xiaoyan went to negotiate with the owner of the shop, and asked the craftsmen to renovate the shop.Qin Zhong also took Duhu to buy materials, and Zhang Tian stayed with Aunt Yan's house for a day. He came out of the county town to do business, and it was too inconvenient to bring children.Qin Zhong was afraid of forgetting the types of spices in the brine, so he wrote them down on a special paper. When he came to the spice shop, he first learned about the prices of various spices. Spices to buy, star anise, cinnamon, tangerine peel, clove, kaempferen, pepper, fennel, bay leaves, galangal, grass fruit, licorice, dried red pepper, only half a bag of cloves, and one bag of others.Seeing such a big business, the shopkeeper smiled as if he saw the God of Wealth. Qin Zhong took the opportunity to ask him to send some spices, and asked the shopkeeper to sell dozens of catties of sugar at half price.What Qin Zhong thought was that sugar is much more expensive than spices, and it is much more affordable to buy it at half price.The shopkeeper was still reluctant at the beginning, Qin Zhong hinted that he opened a restaurant, and the demand for spices was huge.The shopkeeper wanted to do long-term business and had no choice but to agree.Qin Zhong thought that he could just buy shallots and ginger in the village, but now he wanted to buy some rice wine with soy sauce.After Qin Zhong bought all these, Du Hu drove to the market again. Qin Zhong thought that it would be too late to make stewed vegetables and so on, but the salted duck in sauce had to be cooked first.He bought another fifty ducks and fifty fishes, Qin Zhong liked to eat cured fish as snacks.If you want to sell it, it should be easy to sell.Buy some pork bones and go back to make bone soup.Buy some more odds and ends, meet Xiaoyan and the others at the gate of the city, and then go home all the way.Xiaoyan said that the craftsman invited said that the shop could be finished in three days. When they returned to the village, the four of them went to Aunt Yan’s house for dinner. When Yan Bo heard about their shop’s preparations, he smoked dry cigarettes, “Then let’s open it in five days! It’s an auspicious day, and it’s time to open!” Xiaoyan stuffed a mouthful of rice, “Then I’m going to invite the Lions, and I’m going to write a post to those people I knew before, so that they can show their appreciation!” Qin Zhong thought, then today In the evening, the recipe must be prepared, the brine must be cooked, and the duck and fish must be prepared!Ah~~~There are so many things!Qin Zhong didn't want to eat even thinking about it!Du Hu reassured, "It doesn't matter, I'm going to get ducks and fish tomorrow, let's go to bed early today!" Qin Zhong thought, "No, I can get ducks tomorrow, and fish tonight, or else many people will die tomorrow! "As a result, after eating, the four of them moved to Dug's yard to clean up the fish.Zhang Tian fell asleep early.The lights in Dahu's courtyard burned most of the night.

The next day, the leopard also came to kill the duck, Xiaoyan wanted to go to the city to watch the craftsmen at work, and Qin Zhong wanted to cook the duck. If the duck was killed, the duck's internal organs would be marinated, and these things could be stored for a long time.The ones who wanted to kill the ducks were leopards and tigers, and Qin Zhong also asked that the feathers and downs of the ducks should be put away.Qin Zhong asked Zhang Dahu to get two big smoker stoves, and firstly smoked the fish that was prepared yesterday.Today, ducks were being killed in the yard, Qin Zhong asked the baby to sit on the kang and play, so as not to see the bloody killing scene!It seems that we still need to find another person to do these things in the future, or if the store opens in the future, whoever will suffer from killing chickens and ducks in the yard every day!
