It is difficult for men and women of wealthy families to cross

Since Wu Liushi was able to practice the ability to greet guests, he sent Dadi to the school, Wu Daicheng was slightly speechless about this.The contents taught by the teachers in the school are mainly enlightenment. Wu Daicheng can be said to be the oldest one in the class. He studies hard, but he can’t remember the content at all. As for the written words, Wu Daicheng is too embarrassed to show them to others. .It's not that there is a problem with Wu Daicheng's IQ, but Wu Daicheng is very troubled by things like that.When studying in the past, Wu Daicheng basically memorized the classical Chinese in Chinese by rote, forgetting after memorizing, and looking it up before the exam.Wu Daicheng didn't have much interest in some Enlightenment articles, but he didn't regret it. He felt that no matter what age he did, he couldn't be illiterate.Spreading out the paper, Wu Daicheng began to practice calligraphy seriously. He didn't ask himself to be a great calligrapher. How much money his calligraphy could sell in the future, but at least he had to be able to sell them. I don't even know the words.

Before the Chinese New Year, customers would come and go in and out of the Wu family's small shop every day, and every time they left, they would not leave empty-handed.When some rich family stewards come over, they will first mention their name and then tell the approximate quantity of the purchase. Wu Liushi, who has a large amount, will ask the man to invite the steward to sit upstairs and serve a cup of good tea. Get the goods ready.After the winter in the Wu family's small shop, they kept the house warm. Whether it was day or night, the house was as warm as spring, which also made many skippers enter the shop one after another. , even if it is to rest.The Wu family placed two benches at the entrance of the store, which is convenient for those who rest on their feet to sit.Some people came here and felt embarrassed to just sit and leave, and just bought something to go back.Of course, not everyone can lose face, and some just sit and go, and the Wu family can't force the other party to buy it. The stool was put out of good intentions, and they didn't want to repay it.Wu's small shop is very popular with people in Liaocheng because of the small thoughtful measures, and because there is only one such shop in the whole city, the sales of Wu's shop are really good.

When the twelfth lunar month entered, Wu Daicheng wrote a letter to the third prince and sent it to the third prince's other courtyard in Liaocheng, asking people in the courtyard to deliver the letter to the third prince.In Wu Daicheng's letter to the third prince, it was written that he was making gift boxes for New Year's goods, and there was also a list of some goods to be imported. Wu Daicheng also clearly marked the style of the gift boxes for New Year's goods.Regarding the New Year's gift box, it was Wu Liu who casually mentioned whether or not to give New Year's goods to the elders in his hometown during the Chinese New Year.Wu Daicheng had an idea when he thought of some gift boxes that he saw in the old village parents' house during the Chinese New Year. Even towels can be used as gift-giving things. Of course, incense sticks and the like are also feasible.

The people in the other courtyard had been beaten by the people in charge of the third prince's mansion long ago, and they paid special attention to the letter Wu Daicheng dragged them to deliver, and it was delivered to the capital within a few days. The third prince laughed several times after reading the letter, and then kept talking Praise, Wu Daicheng's idea is so good, so wonderful.The third prince immediately asked someone to make a gift box. The letter said that using a wooden box would be too heavy. When visiting relatives and friends, it would be strange to carry a heavy box. The gift inside is not as heavy as the box.What makes the box lighter?The third prince racked his brains for a few days. The box should be both strong and light. He tried thin wood chips, bamboo chips, and bamboo chips. Finally, the box was made of bamboo chips.In order to reflect the festiveness of the New Year's goods, various festive pictures are drawn on the box.Wu Daicheng received fifty such boxes, which were already packed, three pieces of fragrant soap, two buckets of toothpaste, four toothbrushes, and five pieces of soap.There are twenty such gift boxes, and there is another kind of smaller gift box, which has half the contents of the big gift box. There are only two kinds of each item, and they are all limited. You can't buy it online, and maybe it will only be available during the holidays in the future.

Put the gift box in a few conspicuous places so that people who come in can see it at a glance. The price of the gift box is not low. Ordinary families will definitely not consume it, but it is different for dignitaries, especially those who need gifts. Definitely the best choice, although the appearance is not as good as he thought.But at the current level, it's not bad to get it like this.Along with the gift box came a few pictorials, which also stated that no gifts will be accepted for Chinese New Year this year, and only large gift boxes will be accepted.Wu Daicheng plagiarized a certain brain gold advertisement with a bit of pride, and posted the new pictorial outside the wall, attracting many people to watch. The illiterate people listened to the literate person read those words, and only I thought it was quite easy to talk about, so I entered the store curiously to ask about the price, but after listening to it, I could only shake my head and leave. Such a price is not affordable for ordinary people.Wu Daicheng looked at the person who came in full of joy to have a look, but left with regret, and began to wonder in his heart, whether the price was set too high, should he not make gift boxes?Speaking of which, the profit of the gift box is really not very big, and the cost of the bamboo box is not low, and it can also be used for other purposes. It is absolutely no problem for ordinary decoration.The cost of a few pieces of fragrant soap is not low, and with only a few pieces in total, he understands the reason why rare goods can be lived in. The things in the bamboo box can be taken out to make soft pillows, and the cloth is also made of high-quality materials. The product, the big gift box exudes an atmosphere of extraordinary birth from the outside to the inside.

"Da Di, don't think so much, it's not your fault, as long as we don't do business against our conscience." Wu Liushi was the first to see that Da Di's mood was not right, and the business had been going on for a long time. Wu Liushi was not as unashamed as before.

"Father." Wu Daichen looked at his father blankly. He understood what his father said, but he always felt a little sorry for those who wanted to buy a box back, but left disappointed.

"Dadi, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world." Wu Liushi sighed, Dadi's temperament often made him not know what to say. "And, how do you know they really want to buy it?"

Wu Daicheng was stunned for a moment, and looked at his father in confusion, why did he ask the price if he didn't want to buy it?Won't even come in!

"Because of the sentence on the outside painting." Wu Liushi is becoming more and more shrewd now, seeing things more clearly. "You, although you are said to be a wise man, you still don't have a thorough understanding of human nature." Wu Liu simply put up the rest sign and dragged Dadi upstairs. He had to talk to Dadi.When he heard Da Di talk about Taoist temples before, he thought that Da Di was transparent about things, but now it seems that he is transparent about things that have nothing to do with him. If he encounters something related to him, how can he get himself involved?This is not good, you have to make it clear in time, don't make it clear now, and you will feel that you have done something wrong when you encounter something in the future. "There are a lot of people who are tempted by those words, and they come in with the drive to buy, but after they come in, before asking the price, they may calm down and feel that there is no need to buy, but they have already entered the door, if they don't do anything , seems to lose face again, because more than one person came in back and forth. After hearing the price, he immediately had an excuse to leave. That is, you can take those relieved eyes as sadness that you can't afford."

Wu Daicheng blinked his eyes, isn't it what he thought?But……

"If you don't believe me, dress warmly and stand a little further away. I'll open the door of the shop and listen to what the people who leave say. How many people really want to buy, but because The price is too high to afford.” Wu Liu felt that she had to listen to her son to understand.Wu Daicheng didn't object to his father's words, so he put on his coat and ran outside. Seeing that Wu Daicheng was about to go out, Xiaodi wanted to go too, but thinking of the weather outside, she retreated to her room and wrote big characters at home.

Wu Daicheng stood a little far away from the shop, and could see the shop door again, waiting quietly.After a while, people came out of the shop, and after a while, more and more people came out, and there were quite a few people walking towards him, in twos and threes, and some people talked while walking.

"I think the box looks good, but it's a pity that it's useless to keep at home, and there is no need to give gifts at home. I'm really afraid that if I buy it on impulse, my man will scold me to death after I go back."

"No, I think the material is also good. There's a shop here that's worth a lot of money, and I don't know if it can be sold. Also, there is no one in my family who has a big face. The gift box is from the outside to the inside. Which one is it? It’s a cheap thing, if a small family buys it back with a big face, I’m afraid that the harvest of several years will be thrown away.”

"Fortunately, I woke up in time. That thing is only suitable for rich people."

"It's, it's..."

Wu Daicheng, who was following them for a while, stopped, turned around and walked into the shop, because he was thinking too much.After figuring it out, Wu Daicheng's footsteps were also relaxed. After returning to the store, he was able to deal with the people who came in to ask the price with ease, and he was no longer depressed before.Seeing Dadi's appearance, Wu Liushi felt relieved.

"Tomorrow is the sixteenth, you have to go to the Taoist temple, and our family has to start buying new year's goods." Thinking about this year, the smile on Wu Liu's face became a little bit stronger, "This time, bring more things , if you go again, it will be 24, and at that time the gift will be New Year's goods, do you want to ask Mr. An Yi if he will celebrate the New Year here?"

Ever since he knew that Mr. An Yi had arrived at the Taoist temple outside Liaocheng, Wu Daicheng resumed going to attend lectures on important days, and then ran back to the city to go to the school after listening to the lectures. If not, Wu Daicheng can only keep making amends.Mr. Wu didn't want to see Wu Daicheng even more because of this, and Wu Daicheng understood what it felt like to be a bad student. "Buy new clothes for Master, and prepare some food. Last time I delivered the things in the store to Master, he only kept his share and some gadgets I made for him, and let me bring everything else. return."

"Those strange things, I'm afraid that Mr. likes them." Wu Liushi couldn't figure out why Mr. An Yi was interested in the strange things made by Da Di, isn't it just a shelf made of wood, which looks a little weird.

"Master's liking is more important than anything else. It's a pity that I haven't done anything recently. I'm afraid Master will be disappointed this time." Wu Daicheng thought about his recent busy affairs, "Don't forget to ask Dad to go to the yamen tomorrow. I have to test the land, I will buy less this year, and I will buy more when I buy land next year." The store has been open for a few months, adding and subtracting, after making up the money used before, excluding the money for fixed purchases In addition to peacetime expenses, I also saved some money.Wu Awang and his wife used the money to buy land. The land price in Liao City is not cheap, especially with the very little farmland around. They only bought ten mu of land with the money they saved, which is a few mu less than in Wu Village before. But there will be one less person who will be able to work in the fields next year.Wu Daicheng originally wanted to buy only a few acres of land, fearing that his father would not be able to buy it alone, but he didn't want his father to make a decision on his own, so he directly paid the money to buy ten acres of land, and said that he could finish it.The land has already been bought, and people can't get it back, so the family can only accept it. Wu Daicheng thought that he would help when the spring plowing time came.

"Your father is also true." Wu Liushi also remembered what her man had done, "After the new year, our family will be thirteen. I am afraid that our family's gate will be trampled down by the mediators."

"Father..." Can you not mention this?The corners of Wu Daicheng's mouth twitched. How could he get married as a man? I don't know if he had X-changing surgery at this time.

"I know you're shy. It's true that Dad said he would keep you for a few years. As for you, you should pay attention to yourself. If you usually come to the shop, if you want to, please be careful." Wu Liushi always felt that Dadi's His character is too deceitful, he will suffer if he goes to the big family's house, but he doesn't want Da Di to suffer in the past if he wants Da Di to marry into a small family, so he has to choose carefully.

"..." Where did he show shyness?Wu Daichen lowered his head and did not refute what his father said, thinking in his heart that after he went up the mountain tomorrow, he would have to talk to his master. The idea of ​​letting him marry.In order to stop his father from thinking about getting married, Wu Daicheng found an excuse to buy ready-made clothes and slipped away.Wu Liushi only said that her eldest daughter was shy, shook her head and began to count how much she sold today.

Slipping out of the shop, Wu Daicheng went straight to the tailor shop, this time not only to buy for the master, but also to prepare new clothes for his family.As soon as he entered the clothing store, he saw Lin Jishan was about to leave. When Lin Jishan saw Wu Daicheng, he stopped immediately, "Benefactor." While speaking, he did not forget to salute.

Wu Daicheng didn't expect Lin Jishan to say that he was a "benefactor" and gave a big gift, so he touched his nose in embarrassment, "You have already thanked me, so don't call him benefactor, it's weird."

"Just thank you for your life-saving grace." Lin Jishan actually didn't like to call him anything else. Wu Daicheng was the righteous brother recognized by the third prince, so he called him younger brother. Lin Jishan was afraid of causing other gossip.

"Forget it, call it whatever you like!" Wu Daicheng didn't bother, walked inside without Lin Jishan, directly described the figures of several people to Xiao Er, and asked Xiao Er to bring him the clothes he had made.Lin Jishan stood aside and did not leave.Xiaoer quickly took out the ready-made clothes, Wu Daicheng was used to haggling, finally stopped when he thought the price was right, happily paid the money, and was about to leave with the wrapped clothes in his arms. As soon as he turned around, he said to Lin Jishan, "What are you doing?" Didn't leave?"
