Little wealth

"Sell oil—sell oil—"

The oil seller was walking in the streets and alleys of the town with his load on his shoulders. When he heard the sound of selling oil, someone opened the door of the yard and came out with an oil pot to fetch oil.

"Is today's oil new oil?"

"Yes, new oil. Our oil was just squeezed out this morning. Look at the color and smell delicious."

"Really? Let me see, then give me half a catty."

"okay."

The oil seller is a young man, probably in his early 20s, with a gentle face, tall and thin, with a mouth that can speak well.

Cao Ping was one of the first people in Sihe Village to sell oil from the Zhao family. When others were still selling oil in nearby villages, he had already brought oil to the town to sell.

He sells oil with two spoons, one half a catty and one one tael. If someone buys a catty of oil, he uses a half catty spoon to fill two spoons. If someone buys two taels of oil, he uses a one tael spoon. Fills two scoops.Generally, after a spoonful is filled, a little more will be added, so that when others see it, they will not say that the spoon is still stained with oil and it is not enough.

But even if someone else takes it home and weighs it, he doesn't worry at all. All the oil he sells is weighed.

At first, he wanted to set up a stall outside the street to sell oil, but few people cared about it, and he didn't sell a few catties of oil for a long time. Later, he thought of selling oil while walking in these alleys.At first, no one dared to buy it from him, so he knocked on the door of each house and asked, and when he knocked on the door of ten houses, there was always one who bought it from him. When he was lucky, someone would buy him three or two catties of oil at a time.

There are three brothers in their family, he is the second eldest, there is an older brother at the top, and a younger brother at the bottom, the father prefers the elder brother, the mother loves the younger brother, he is caught in the middle, he is a father who does not love his mother and does not love him.

When he was young, his younger brother was sent by his family to study with his husband, and he followed him to eavesdrop on a few lessons, so he knew a few words, but he didn't read as many books as his younger brother.The family originally wanted their youngest son to take the exam to obtain fame, but this road is not so easy. His younger brother failed to pass the exam for three years, so he had to give up this road and went to the town to find A job to earn a living, and later fell in love with the lady of the shopkeeper's house, got married the next year, married that lady and came back.

It's just that after the third sister-in-law married into their family, life in their family became lively.

The elder brother above got married early, and he already has three children. After two years of marriage, his husband's belly was finally conceived, and the belly has not been born for several months.There are three brothers in the family, the elder brother and the younger brother both married women, and only he married his elder brother. It was because the dowry money for marrying his elder brother was small, and the family was unwilling to give him more dowry money at first, so the matchmaker found one for him. The elder brother of the family.

After two years of marriage, the husband and wife have a harmonious relationship. Cao Ping also loves his husband very much, but now that his husband has a child in his belly, he always finds ways to make some money.

After the third sister-in-law in the family was also pregnant, they clamored to separate the family. It happened that they also took advantage of this separation to live alone.It's just that after the separation, the family gave them nothing except the two acres of Susukida and a few pots and pans. He knew that his parents were eccentric, but he didn't know that they could be so eccentric. All good things are left to the elder brother and younger brother.

Resisting a sigh of relief in his heart, he didn't think it would be easy to get angry, but it was better to let Fulang stay in that house and be angry with his sister-in-law, sister-in-law, and parents, so he took Fulang to move. out to live.Now that Fu Lang is pregnant and is about to give birth, they don't even have a word in their hands, so don't even have the money to ask Mr. Wen.So as soon as he heard that the Zhao family had oil and found out that the price of oil was so cheap, he was the first to go to the Zhao family to get oil and sell it.

As for business, as long as you have a thick skin, you can do anything.

He came to this town every day to sell oil, and after a few days of selling, gradually some people came out to buy oil when they heard the sound.

"A catty of oil."

"That's great... twelve cents."

The people in the town are more willing than the farmers in the village. Those who buy less can buy half a catty, and those who buy more can buy a catty or two more.Before the sun set, he sold two cans of oil, and with the money he earned from selling oil today in his pocket, he happily went back to the village.

When he came back from selling oil for a day, he watched Fu Lang with a big belly waiting for him at the door of his house from a distance. A smile appeared on the man's face, and he walked towards Fu Lang carrying the burden.

The couple walked into the yard while talking and laughing. Cao Ping put down the burden on his shoulders when he heard from Fu Lang that there was someone from the Zhao family, and asked him to go to the Zhao family when he came back. After eating, he hurried out again.

But at this time Cao Ping didn't know what good things were waiting for him.

***

Cao Ping was stunned for a moment when he heard Mr. Zhao's husband say that he was hired as the steward of the oil workshop and asked him to help sell oil. Isn't he already selling oil every day?

"Among the people in our village who come to get oil to sell, you sell the most oil every day. I happen to be short of someone here who can come forward to help me with errands. I just want to ask if you are interested in this. Come and help me " Qiao Xu also saw this point of Cao Ping, he is courageous and quick-witted, at the beginning when others took three to five catties of oil, he had already dared to take ten catties, now others sell it to ten catties At the time, he had already sold twenty catties.

He asked his mother to go to the village to inquire about Cao Ping. He was a good man, and he married a man from a neighboring village.And he also heard about the separation of the Cao family. Of course, the troubles of the Cao family have nothing to do with outsiders, and outsiders can't control them. What he likes is Cao Ping's ability.

Now their family has opened two shops, and their master Zhao and his brother-in-law have visited one shop alone, and he can only take care of the oil workshop at home.It's just that it's not convenient for him as a brother to come out to discuss business with others. For the time being, Aqiu can only stay at home to help him manage the accounts and accounts, and he needs another person for the outside world.

During this period of time, he has been paying attention to the people who come to his oil shop to get the goods, and wants to find a suitable man to help with the work, and Cao Ping is the person he likes.

During this period of time, in order to sell oil, he also gave a piece of food prescription to the people who came to buy oil. These prescriptions are worth a lot of money when he sells them, but he gave them to the village for nothing. People who come to buy oil.Most of the people in their entire village are still living in poverty, but now their family has become rich, how do you say that?I am not afraid that everyone is poor, but I am afraid that one person suddenly becomes rich, and this suddenly rich person will be envied by all the poor.

They will still live in this village in the future, and Josh doesn't want their family to be the only rich one. Many families in this village will become rich in the future, and their family will not be so conspicuous in this village.Even if bandits come to their village to rob them one day, their family will not be pushed out by the people in the village.

Even in the rule of law society of later generations, robbery is inevitable, let alone in this backward era, today's wealth may become a fatal disaster in the future.

If they don't want the family to dominate, they must find a way to help the people in this village. This is also his original intention of establishing this oil workshop, to name a way for the people in their village to make a living.To put it another way, if every household in their village is getting better and uses oil for cooking every day, are they afraid that no one will buy the oil squeezed out of their oil workshop every day?

But when he thought that every family in his village would buy oil from them, what Josh thought was that more people in his village would help them sell oil, and he could find someone who could help him with external affairs.After reading the account book of daily oil output, he fell in love with Cao Ping's ability, and wanted to find this person to help him with things.

Cao Ping asked a little puzzled: "I don't know, what do you want me to do?"

"It's the same as selling oil, and the things you do remain the same. You get the same commission, and the more you sell, the higher your commission." Josh smiled. He dared to say that this person didn't understand for a long time. ?He explained the work and treatment clearly, "If you can help me to do things, I will give you an extra [-] Wen a month, which is the basic salary. For three months, you If you can negotiate business according to my ideas, I will give you a salary increase as appropriate."

"However, if you can't meet my requirements and standards, then I'm sorry, I will replace it with someone else."

Five hundred cash a month?

...Five hundred cash is half taels of silver. He only earns about this amount by selling oil for a month. If he adds his own money for selling oil, he can earn about one tael a month. Cao Ping His eyes widened, and he immediately agreed, "I am willing, I am willing!"

"Don't worry Mrs. Zhao, I will work hard to do a good job!" Isn't left and right just selling oil?Now he can sell so much oil in a day, and he will definitely sell more and more in the future!

Now that Cao Ping agrees, the rest of the matter will be easy.

The two talked for a while later, Josh talked to Cao Ping about the preliminary work content, and after seeing that he understood, he said: "It's almost like this. If there are no problems, you can go back today. Come back tomorrow."

"Okay, I understand, I understand, there is no problem. I will come back tomorrow."

Cao Ping didn't expect such a good thing to happen to him. After returning from Zhao's house, he told his husband at home about it.

Hearing her husband's words, the brother with a big belly was very happy for her husband, and told her husband: "You follow their family well, and in the future, their family will eat meat without us having a mouthful of soup. Even if there is a mouthful of soup, let us ...and this soon-to-be-born child, the three of us are not afraid of starving to death."

"Well, Fulang, don't worry, I know this, I can do it without you telling me." Cao Ping also nodded with a smile, put his arms around Fulang's waist, let Fulang sit down, and then he went to the kitchen to turn on the stove The hot meal was served and the husband and wife ate together.

A bowl of green vegetables, a bowl of tofu, and a bowl of soup, the clear soup lacks water, the couple are also very happy to eat...
