husband in another world
Chapter 47
The two of them were talking loudly outside, and the aunt in the room was disturbed.
"If you have something to say, you have to stand outside and say it, come in quickly."
The four followed the aunt to the main room, and found that the aunt and her family were all gathered in the main room. When they saw Wang Ren and others coming in, they quickly gave up their seats.
He is the youngest compared to his brother and sister-in-law sitting here, so there is no reason to give up his seat to him, but now the sister-in-laws are smiling, with a sincerity that was not there before.Wang Ren knew that this was asking him for something.
It's not that the aunt's brother and sister-in-law treated him badly or something, but after all the three sons of the aunt's family, two of them married wives, and each gave birth to a child.With such a large family living together, the bedroom is not enough, it is crowded.
Before he came to borrow, Cheng Yu's bedroom was crowded with two nephews. After he came, in order to make room for him, the two nephews went back to their parents' rooms.The already crowded bedroom became even smaller because of the return of a child, and I couldn't even turn over at night.If this situation lasted for a day or two, Wang Ren would be able to make up for it as a visit, but knowing that Wang Ren had a falling out with his family, he would not be able to return, and he might even live there permanently. The two daughters-in-law inevitably had some ideas.
It was also because of this level that Wang Rencai and his aunt proposed that they would not live in vain, and they would pay Erwen's rent every day. With money, the two daughters-in-law naturally couldn't say anything.After all, it is difficult for farmers to make money, and they only point to such a small amount of land every year. It is good to have a penny subsidy at ordinary times.
Knowing that they were asking him for something, Wang Ren was not polite and gave up his seat.
"Xiao Ren, I heard that the Zhou family is going to build a house again. Is it true? His house is not newly built, but rather big. Why are there five rooms going to be built again?" Auntie asked straight to the point.
"The Zhou family's business is getting bigger and bigger. These few people in my family can't do it, so I plan to ask a few more people to help. But his main house is so exquisite and luxurious, so it's not easy for people who hire workers to enter at will. If your hands and feet are not clean, you will steal anything you see, or if you break something with careless hands, what should you do? Compensation or no compensation? No compensation, the Zhou family has no bargains, and the same is enough for villagers to work in the town for a month or even For a few months, why should people recognize such a valuable item for nothing. But if it is compensation, it will be a lot of money for everyone in the village, and it may take a long time to recover. So it is better to directly Build a few more houses to separate the two sides, anyway, the Zhou family is not short of the money to build a house."
Auntie was speechless.
"Zhou Jing doesn't know what's going on this time. Before the villagers reacted, his house suddenly rose up. I think Zhou Jing and Shen Mo back then, not to mention the five big tiled houses of green bricks, but even a piece of homestead that belonged to him. None. It is estimated that someone told them at that time that they would live such a life in the future, and they themselves did not believe it.”
"It's not." The aunt agreed. "I heard that his family hired a lot of wages, thirty yuan a day, look, can you talk to the Zhou family, save a place for your two cousins, and let them earn some spare money, the family is loose .” This is the second thing my aunt came here this time.
Seeing that my aunt spoke first, she was afraid of leaving herself behind, so she followed up and said, "My family is more difficult than your aunt's. Look, your three cousins..."
The two sisters-in-law followed her mother-in-law's words and looked at Wang Ren eagerly.Fortunately, Wang Ren has been running sales for so long, and he has seen a big scene, so he didn't feel embarrassed by the fixed eyes of the two women.
Wang Ren said directly: "The men in my aunt's and aunt's family are not lazy. They work quickly. If they want to work in Zhou's house, I can ask them. It's just that Zhou's house is full of people and whether they will be employed. I can't guarantee it."
"But Cousin Cheng Yu and Cousin Youxin can't take on the job anymore."
Aunt and aunt said: "Why?"
"Don't forget, Cousin Cheng Yu and Cousin Youxin have jobs in the Zhou family. The Zhou family has a big food business, and they will be busy after noon. Cousin Cheng Yu and Cousin Youxin are now I must go to help with the work, so that the work on the other side of the house will be put down by others, which is impossible. But since I can only do one thing, I can’t ask my boss to pay me twice, it’s me and the Zhou family I'm related, and I don't have such a big face."
The aunt and aunt immediately said: "We forgot about this, if the hatchback is more suitable for the Zhou family to do long-term work."
After negotiating with Wang Ren, when I went to work early the next day, I brought a few cousins from my aunt's house.
"Brother, these cousins of mine are all good at work, and they don't know how to steal or cheat at work. Can you let them stay and build a house for us?" Wang Ren asked.
"Yes." Zhou Jing didn't care, as long as he worked hard, it didn't matter whether he was Wang Ren's cousin or not.
A few men helped to move the sausages and ducks to the cart, Zhou Jing stood under the mule cart and said worriedly: "You and my younger brother are the only two left at the stall, remember not to quarrel with others, and you can ask Yang if you have anything to do." Catch the head, or simply close the stall and come back."
"Don't worry, it's not the first time I've sold it." Shen Mo replied with a smile, sitting behind the mule cart.
"I don't feel at ease if I don't follow. In this way, Wang Ren, you will follow Shen Mo and the younger brother to the restaurant to deliver the goods today, and you will continue to sell the goods after delivery."
"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely finish delivering these shops, and I dare not delay your business." Two salesmen, Wang Ren and Cheng Yu, jumped into the car and were about to take the reins when an old lady behind her carried them. Xiao Bubao ran and jolted to catch up.
"Mr. Zhou, wait for me..."
When Shen Mo turned his head, it was Wang Gui's mother-in-law, Aunt Wang, who rented the mule cart.
Wang Ren reined in, and Shen Mo asked, "Aunt Wang, you are going to the town."
Aunt Wang ran over panting, and stood under the mule cart for a long time.
After calming down, he said slowly: "My eldest sister lives in the town, and today is her [-]th birthday, so I'm going to celebrate her birthday."
Shen Mo smiled and said: "This is a happy event, congratulations, auntie, get in the car." After speaking, he helped Aunt Shen to sit on the mule cart, and when they sat down firmly, Wang Ren drove away in the mule cart.
When approaching the entrance of the town, Shen Mo asked, "Aunt Wang, where does your eldest sister live?"
Aunt Wang said: "Chengxi Street."
The few people in the mule cart were not familiar with the town, but they came to the town a few times because of Zhou Jing's business, and they didn't know many streets.
Shen Mo then asked: "Aunt Wang, we are not familiar with the town, why don't you wait until we finish delivering the goods to the shop, and then find out the way to take you there, see if it's okay."
"Oh, how can this work." Aunt Wang said dissatisfied: "My eldest sister just has such a [-]th birthday. After that, she will be gone. In previous years, I was the head of the house who sent me to the door early. This year, it was because you borrowed my house. The owner of the mule cart didn’t see me off. I was in a hurry to help my elder sister Zhang Luo, so I won’t be there if it’s too late.”
Aunt Wang said this as if Zhou Jiabai used his mule cart without giving money.Wang Ren is the youngest son of Lizheng's family. His father is the biggest official in the village. No one has talked to him like this before. He looked at Shen Lin in a daze for a while.
Shen Lin was so indignant that she opened her mouth to argue, but was held back by Shen Mo's clothes.
"I don't know how far Miss Wang's house is from here?"
"It's not far, just a few steps." Aunt Wang was not very happy, because Shen Mo asked a few more questions and didn't directly pull her away.
Shen Mo nodded to Wang Ren, "Anyway, it's not too far away, let's send Aunt Wang first, and return to deliver the goods to the shop when we get there. It won't take long."
Wang Ren didn't say anything, and drove the mule cart along the direction of Aunt Wang's unreasonable words.
It is said to be a few steps, but the mule cart has passed through several bustling streets and passed through several small roads, and it is still far away, and the so-called elder sister's house of Aunt Wang cannot be seen.
At this time, Wang Ren, an outsider, couldn't help being annoyed, and said in a serious tone: "Aunt Wang, where is your eldest sister's house? We still have goods in the car. We are in a hurry to deliver them. All the restaurants and shops in the town are waiting."
Aunt Wang was very impatient, as if she didn't want to talk to them, she turned her face away and pointed her fingers casually.
"It's almost there, turn over there."
Wang Ren said angrily, "Which side? Explain clearly."
"It's over there, didn't you see it all?"
"I don't know your eldest sister's family. I don't know if you don't tell me."
It's far away from the bustling streets of the town, and it's a suburb at best.The high and low houses are strewn across the rice paddies, and it looks no different from Wangjia Village, and it can't be seen that it belongs to the town.
Aunt Wang jumped off in front of a fence gate, and when she landed, she still commanded Shen Mo, "Remember to come and pick me up later at night."
Everyone else in the mule cart was so angry that Shen Lin blushed so hard that his neck was thick, and he was about to explode.Shen Mo was still calm.
"If my aunt wants to take our mule cart back, she has to hurry before the end of noon."
Aunt Wang didn't care what Shen Mo said at all, she waved her hands like chasing flies away, muttering, "How dare you leave me behind when you use my mule cart".
Pushing open the fence door, the chickens and ducklings in the door rushed towards her clucking and clucking, and the big black dog in the yard also barked vigorously a few times, signaling to the owner that a guest was coming.
Aunt Wang's eldest sister is a stooped old woman, wearing a bright red skirt for her birthday, and a pair of old and rotten patched cloth shoes on her feet.
I saw Aunt Wang smiling openly, her mouth with a few missing teeth split open.
"Why did you come here so early today?"
Aunt Wang pursed her lips and turned to the direction of the mule cart.
"A little gangster in the village used to do some business recently and borrowed my family's mule cart to deliver goods in the town, and sent me here by the way."
"Oh." Aunt Wang's eldest sister stepped on the mule cart and saw that the cart was full of baskets. She didn't know what was inside, and several men sat around the side.
"Those baskets on the car are full of goods, all of which are going to be delivered to the shops in the town? How much does it cost? I don't know what kind of business they are doing?"
"A sausage and duck business."
"Ah! Is it that Zhou Ji that has been very popular in the town recently? His family's food is sold in many shops and restaurants, and several of the restaurants are among the best restaurants in the town."
Although everyone in the village, including Aunt Wang, knew that the Zhou family had a very popular business in the town, they always thought that it was just a small business, and they only made more money than other families selling vegetables.At best, it was only a matter of one or two taels of silver a month, and I envied many people in the village, thinking that the Zhou family had made a fortune.
Aunt Wang naturally thinks so too, now that she hears what her elder sister said, she still can't believe it and she clicks her tongue twice.
Her eldest sister said: "There are so many goods waiting to be delivered to the shop, why did they send you to my house first, they are not in a hurry?"
Aunt Wang was so proud that her proud neck was raised.
"What can I do if I'm in a hurry? They have to send me off first, but they still have to rent my mule cart. If it makes me unhappy, I'm afraid that my family will not rent them the mule cart. If there is no mule cart to transport goods, don't worry about it." All the rich businesses in his family have to be stopped for me."
Aunt Wang's elder sister wanted to persuade Aunt Wang, but when she thought that although her family lived in the town, her life was not as good as that of Aunt Wang who lived in the countryside. He swallowed the rest of the words.
Shen Mo returned to the town from Aunt Wang's house, and then rushed to the shop, after all, it was an hour later than usual.This time, both the morning market and breakfast were over, and many guests who came to have breakfast ordered a plate of sausage and duck, but there was none.He was a little unhappy, and complained a few words to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was very unhappy about complaining and suffering losses.
"What's the matter with you today? Is it because the boss didn't come with you, and you didn't do things wholeheartedly. This is so much later than usual. I've already passed breakfast. How much money will I lose from this?"
Wang Ren and Cheng Yu nodded and bowed their heads to apologize, and the shopkeeper refused to buy it.
Going on like this is not a solution, there are still many families who have not delivered them, which will delay their business, and everyone will have to show this face.
In Zhou Jing's absence, Shen Mo is the boss, and he can only preside over the overall situation.Fortunately, although Shen Mo was born in a farming family, although his eyesight is not much, at least it is not superficial.
"I'm very sorry. Today's incident was an accident. I guarantee that it will never happen again in the future. Of course, I also understand that doing business is the most worthless thing, and you can't get any benefits. See if this is okay. After all, I just delayed you It’s breakfast time, and if you can still catch up with lunch and dinner, I’ll give you the original price, sixteen cents a catty.”
"Brother, you forgot what brother-in-law said, you are not afraid to go back and get angry with brother-in-law, he clearly set the rules back then."
Cheng Yu also said: "That's right, just after the boss finished speaking, you lowered the price without authorization. Isn't this slapping the boss in the face?"
Shen Mo said: "No, what you said is wrong. The current situation is different from your salesperson's private price reduction. I represent the attitude of the entire Zhou Ji, and this is not a price reduction. It is a compensation for losses. We cause losses to the shop. We can’t just cause it in vain and let others bear it, we must have an attitude.”
The shopkeeper said: "You are Zhou Jing's husband, and you are not like other husbands who can't afford big things. This incident is not bad, so I don't care about other things. It's just that you must be on time next time. Otherwise, I will terminate the contract with you."
Shen Mo promised to make another promise before quitting.
"Boss Fulang, what do you think, maybe you want to lower the prices of all the shops today, so you won't be afraid to go back to the boss to blame you." Cheng Yu said.
"Brother Jing won't, if he is here, he will do the same. Well, don't persuade me any more, just do as I say, if there is anything I will do, Brother Jing will definitely not blame you .”
The others stopped persuading them, and every time they entered a shop, they didn't need to ask the shopkeeper, they first mentioned today's original price, which was regarded as compensation for the time delay.After that, I apologized again and again, promising that there would be no next time.
Although they are still dissatisfied, they know that this is the biggest compensation that Zhou Ji can give.Sausages and ducks are meat no matter what, and the cost is obvious. Fat meat is [-] cents a catty, and lean meat is [-] cents a catty. To make sausages, fat and lean must be mixed, and there is labor. money.Now that Shen Mo gave the price of sixteen coins, the shopkeepers also knew that it was basically capital, and there was no profit, which was equivalent to giving them a day's work for nothing.In other words, forget it, I feel that Zhou Ji is a credibility-conscious person, and I know that I will compensate for the loss without them asking, and I will not make such mistakes in the future.
Delayed by an hour, missed a morning market, it is a lot of delay in doing business, and I went back nearly two hours later than usual.
Zhou Jing waited anxiously at home, only to see the mule cart driving far into the village, and hurried over, only to feel relieved when he saw Shen Mo sitting on the mule cart intact.
"Why so late today?"
"It's not because of Mrs. Wang." Shen Lin couldn't hold back his breath, and said like pouring beans, expressing all the anger he had been holding back for a day. "Because of her troubles, we were late in the town to deliver the goods, and missed the breakfast time. The shopkeeper was not happy, and forced my elder brother to explain. The elder brother had no choice but to lower the price because he was afraid of breaking his promise. Compensation. Bro, don’t blame big brother for this matter, he is also doing it for business.”
Zhou Jing frowned more and more as he listened.
However, he said to Shen Mo: "Xiao Mo, you did the right thing. We value reputation the most in business. I can't lose it. Not only do I not blame you for this, but I also want to thank you. If you didn't do this at the time Decision, our family is not sure what the loss will be. I am so lucky to be able to marry a good husband like you."
Zhou Jing often said this kind of love story, regardless of the occasion and location, Shen Mo was so ashamed at the beginning that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in.After a long time, I tried to hear it, but I didn't feel anything.
He was even able to reply normally: "Brother Jing, what Aunt Wang did is not authentic, and I choked in my heart. Our family's mule cart is not fake, but it is rented and paid for. It is not a free loan." , a matter of two sizes."
"If something happens to her like this, it seems that our family renting her mule cart is not to take care of her family's business, but her family to take care of our family, then this mule cart cannot be borrowed."
Zhou Jing looked unhappy, "Not only that, but don't renew the contract with her family when the business that should be stopped expires."
"Okay, I'll go deliver the mule cart right now, and settle the bills for the previous few days, and I won't use his mule cart from tomorrow."
"You don't need his mule cart, who do we use? Those families in the village who have mule carts didn't rent them because they had a feud with our family before. Otherwise, it might not be her turn." Shen Lin asked.
"Nobody needs it. I plan to buy one for our own family." Shen Mo is in charge of the money, and he knows better than anyone else what the family is like now.Therefore, the tone is indifferent, as if spending ten or twenty cents to buy some food.Shen Lin then thought that he already had 30 taels of silver in his pocket, which was only one-third of the profit, so Zhou Jing and Shen Mo, who accounted for the majority, estimated that it would be rare to talk about a hundred taels of spare money.
"If you have something to say, you have to stand outside and say it, come in quickly."
The four followed the aunt to the main room, and found that the aunt and her family were all gathered in the main room. When they saw Wang Ren and others coming in, they quickly gave up their seats.
He is the youngest compared to his brother and sister-in-law sitting here, so there is no reason to give up his seat to him, but now the sister-in-laws are smiling, with a sincerity that was not there before.Wang Ren knew that this was asking him for something.
It's not that the aunt's brother and sister-in-law treated him badly or something, but after all the three sons of the aunt's family, two of them married wives, and each gave birth to a child.With such a large family living together, the bedroom is not enough, it is crowded.
Before he came to borrow, Cheng Yu's bedroom was crowded with two nephews. After he came, in order to make room for him, the two nephews went back to their parents' rooms.The already crowded bedroom became even smaller because of the return of a child, and I couldn't even turn over at night.If this situation lasted for a day or two, Wang Ren would be able to make up for it as a visit, but knowing that Wang Ren had a falling out with his family, he would not be able to return, and he might even live there permanently.

"Xiao Ren, I heard that the Zhou family is going to build a house again. Is it true? His house is not newly built, but rather big. Why are there five rooms going to be built again?" Auntie asked straight to the point.
"The Zhou family's business is getting bigger and bigger. These few people in my family can't do it, so I plan to ask a few more people to help.

Wang Ren said directly: "The men in my aunt's and aunt's family are not lazy. They work quickly. If they want to work in Zhou's house, I can ask them. It's just that Zhou's house is full of people and whether they will be employed. I can't guarantee it."
"But Cousin Cheng Yu and Cousin Youxin can't take on the job anymore."
Aunt and aunt said: "Why?"
"Don't forget, Cousin Cheng Yu and Cousin Youxin have jobs in the Zhou family. The Zhou family has a big food business, and they will be busy after noon. Cousin Cheng Yu and Cousin Youxin are now I must go to help with the work, so that the work on the other side of the house will be put down by others, which is impossible.

The aunt and aunt immediately said: "We forgot about this, if the hatchback is more suitable for the Zhou family to do long-term work."
After negotiating with Wang Ren, when I went to work early the next day, I brought a few cousins from my aunt's house.
"Brother, these cousins of mine are all good at work, and they don't know how to steal or cheat at work. Can you let them stay and build a house for us?" Wang Ren asked.
"Yes." Zhou Jing didn't care, as long as he worked hard, it didn't matter whether he was Wang Ren's cousin or not.
A few men helped to move the sausages and ducks to the cart, Zhou Jing stood under the mule cart and said worriedly: "You and my younger brother are the only two left at the stall, remember not to quarrel with others, and you can ask Yang if you have anything to do." Catch the head, or simply close the stall and come back."
"Don't worry, it's not the first time I've sold it." Shen Mo replied with a smile, sitting behind the mule cart.
"I don't feel at ease if I don't follow. In this way, Wang Ren, you will follow Shen Mo and the younger brother to the restaurant to deliver the goods today, and you will continue to sell the goods after delivery."
"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely finish delivering these shops, and I dare not delay your business." Two salesmen, Wang Ren and Cheng Yu, jumped into the car and were about to take the reins when an old lady behind her carried them. Xiao Bubao ran and jolted to catch up.
"Mr. Zhou, wait for me..."
When Shen Mo turned his head, it was Wang Gui's mother-in-law, Aunt Wang, who rented the mule cart.
Wang Ren reined in, and Shen Mo asked, "Aunt Wang, you are going to the town."
Aunt Wang ran over panting, and stood under the mule cart for a long time.
After calming down, he said slowly: "My eldest sister lives in the town, and today is her [-]th birthday, so I'm going to celebrate her birthday."
Shen Mo smiled and said: "This is a happy event, congratulations, auntie, get in the car." After speaking, he helped Aunt Shen to sit on the mule cart, and when they sat down firmly, Wang Ren drove away in the mule cart.
When approaching the entrance of the town, Shen Mo asked, "Aunt Wang, where does your eldest sister live?"
Aunt Wang said: "Chengxi Street."
The few people in the mule cart were not familiar with the town, but they came to the town a few times because of Zhou Jing's business, and they didn't know many streets.
Shen Mo then asked: "Aunt Wang, we are not familiar with the town, why don't you wait until we finish delivering the goods to the shop, and then find out the way to take you there, see if it's okay."
"Oh, how can this work." Aunt Wang said dissatisfied: "My eldest sister just has such a [-]th birthday. After that, she will be gone. In previous years, I was the head of the house who sent me to the door early. This year, it was because you borrowed my house. The owner of the mule cart didn’t see me off.

Shen Lin was so indignant that she opened her mouth to argue, but was held back by Shen Mo's clothes.
"I don't know how far Miss Wang's house is from here?"
"It's not far, just a few steps." Aunt Wang was not very happy, because Shen Mo asked a few more questions and didn't directly pull her away.
Shen Mo nodded to Wang Ren, "Anyway, it's not too far away, let's send Aunt Wang first, and return to deliver the goods to the shop when we get there. It won't take long."

It is said to be a few steps, but the mule cart has passed through several bustling streets and passed through several small roads, and it is still far away, and the so-called elder sister's house of Aunt Wang cannot be seen.

"I don't know your eldest sister's family. I don't know if you don't tell me."
It's far away from the bustling streets of the town, and it's a suburb at best.The high and low houses are strewn across the rice paddies, and it looks no different from Wangjia Village, and it can't be seen that it belongs to the town.
Aunt Wang jumped off in front of a fence gate, and when she landed, she still commanded Shen Mo, "Remember to come and pick me up later at night."
Everyone else in the mule cart was so angry that Shen Lin blushed so hard that his neck was thick, and he was about to explode.Shen Mo was still calm.

Pushing open the fence door, the chickens and ducklings in the door rushed towards her clucking and clucking, and the big black dog in the yard also barked vigorously a few times, signaling to the owner that a guest was coming.
Aunt Wang's eldest sister is a stooped old woman, wearing a bright red skirt for her birthday, and a pair of old and rotten patched cloth shoes on her feet.
I saw Aunt Wang smiling openly, her mouth with a few missing teeth split open.
"Why did you come here so early today?"
Aunt Wang pursed her lips and turned to the direction of the mule cart.
"A little gangster in the village used to do some business recently and borrowed my family's mule cart to deliver goods in the town, and sent me here by the way."
"Oh." Aunt Wang's eldest sister stepped on the mule cart and saw that the cart was full of baskets. She didn't know what was inside, and several men sat around the side.
"Those baskets on the car are full of goods, all of which are going to be delivered to the shops in the town? How much does it cost? I don't know what kind of business they are doing?"
"A sausage and duck business."
"Ah! Is it that Zhou Ji that has been very popular in the town recently? His family's food is sold in many shops and restaurants, and several of the restaurants are among the best restaurants in the town."
Although everyone in the village, including Aunt Wang, knew that the Zhou family had a very popular business in the town, they always thought that it was just a small business, and they only made more money than other families selling vegetables.At best, it was only a matter of one or two taels of silver a month, and I envied many people in the village, thinking that the Zhou family had made a fortune.
Aunt Wang naturally thinks so too, now that she hears what her elder sister said, she still can't believe it and she clicks her tongue twice.
Her eldest sister said: "There are so many goods waiting to be delivered to the shop, why did they send you to my house first, they are not in a hurry?"
Aunt Wang was so proud that her proud neck was raised.
"What can I do if I'm in a hurry? They have to send me off first, but they still have to rent my mule cart. If it makes me unhappy, I'm afraid that my family will not rent them the mule cart. If there is no mule cart to transport goods, don't worry about it." All the rich businesses in his family have to be stopped for me."
Aunt Wang's elder sister wanted to persuade Aunt Wang, but when she thought that although her family lived in the town, her life was not as good as that of Aunt Wang who lived in the countryside. He swallowed the rest of the words.
Shen Mo returned to the town from Aunt Wang's house, and then rushed to the shop, after all, it was an hour later than usual.This time, both the morning market and breakfast were over, and many guests who came to have breakfast ordered a plate of sausage and duck, but there was none.He was a little unhappy, and complained a few words to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was very unhappy about complaining and suffering losses.
"What's the matter with you today? Is it because the boss didn't come with you, and you didn't do things wholeheartedly. This is so much later than usual. I've already passed breakfast. How much money will I lose from this?"
Wang Ren and Cheng Yu nodded and bowed their heads to apologize, and the shopkeeper refused to buy it.
Going on like this is not a solution, there are still many families who have not delivered them, which will delay their business, and everyone will have to show this face.
In Zhou Jing's absence, Shen Mo is the boss, and he can only preside over the overall situation.Fortunately, although Shen Mo was born in a farming family, although his eyesight is not much, at least it is not superficial.
"I'm very sorry. Today's incident was an accident. I guarantee that it will never happen again in the future. Of course, I also understand that doing business is the most worthless thing, and you can't get any benefits. See if this is okay. After all, I just delayed you It’s breakfast time, and if you can still catch up with lunch and dinner, I’ll give you the original price, sixteen cents a catty.”
"Brother, you forgot what brother-in-law said, you are not afraid to go back and get angry with brother-in-law, he clearly set the rules back then."
Cheng Yu also said: "That's right, just after the boss finished speaking, you lowered the price without authorization. Isn't this slapping the boss in the face?"
Shen Mo said: "No, what you said is wrong. The current situation is different from your salesperson's private price reduction. I represent the attitude of the entire Zhou Ji, and this is not a price reduction. It is a compensation for losses. We cause losses to the shop. We can’t just cause it in vain and let others bear it, we must have an attitude.”
The shopkeeper said: "You are Zhou Jing's husband, and you are not like other husbands who can't afford big things. This incident is not bad, so I don't care about other things. It's just that you must be on time next time. Otherwise, I will terminate the contract with you."
Shen Mo promised to make another promise before quitting.
"Boss Fulang, what do you think, maybe you want to lower the prices of all the shops today, so you won't be afraid to go back to the boss to blame you." Cheng Yu said.
"Brother Jing won't, if he is here, he will do the same. Well, don't persuade me any more, just do as I say, if there is anything I will do, Brother Jing will definitely not blame you .”
The others stopped persuading them, and every time they entered a shop, they didn't need to ask the shopkeeper, they first mentioned today's original price, which was regarded as compensation for the time delay.After that, I apologized again and again, promising that there would be no next time.
Although they are still dissatisfied, they know that this is the biggest compensation that Zhou Ji can give.Sausages and ducks are meat no matter what, and the cost is obvious. Fat meat is [-] cents a catty, and lean meat is [-] cents a catty. To make sausages, fat and lean must be mixed, and there is labor. money.Now that Shen Mo gave the price of sixteen coins, the shopkeepers also knew that it was basically capital, and there was no profit, which was equivalent to giving them a day's work for nothing.In other words, forget it, I feel that Zhou Ji is a credibility-conscious person, and I know that I will compensate for the loss without them asking, and I will not make such mistakes in the future.
Delayed by an hour, missed a morning market, it is a lot of delay in doing business, and I went back nearly two hours later than usual.
Zhou Jing waited anxiously at home, only to see the mule cart driving far into the village, and hurried over, only to feel relieved when he saw Shen Mo sitting on the mule cart intact.
"Why so late today?"
"It's not because of Mrs. Wang." Shen Lin couldn't hold back his breath, and said like pouring beans, expressing all the anger he had been holding back for a day. "Because of her troubles, we were late in the town to deliver the goods, and missed the breakfast time. The shopkeeper was not happy, and forced my elder brother to explain. The elder brother had no choice but to lower the price because he was afraid of breaking his promise. Compensation. Bro, don’t blame big brother for this matter, he is also doing it for business.”
Zhou Jing frowned more and more as he listened.
However, he said to Shen Mo: "Xiao Mo, you did the right thing. We value reputation the most in business. I can't lose it. Not only do I not blame you for this, but I also want to thank you. If you didn't do this at the time Decision, our family is not sure what the loss will be. I am so lucky to be able to marry a good husband like you."
Zhou Jing often said this kind of love story, regardless of the occasion and location, Shen Mo was so ashamed at the beginning that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in.After a long time, I tried to hear it, but I didn't feel anything.
He was even able to reply normally: "Brother Jing, what Aunt Wang did is not authentic, and I choked in my heart. Our family's mule cart is not fake, but it is rented and paid for. It is not a free loan." , a matter of two sizes."
"If something happens to her like this, it seems that our family renting her mule cart is not to take care of her family's business, but her family to take care of our family, then this mule cart cannot be borrowed."
Zhou Jing looked unhappy, "Not only that, but don't renew the contract with her family when the business that should be stopped expires."
"Okay, I'll go deliver the mule cart right now, and settle the bills for the previous few days, and I won't use his mule cart from tomorrow."
"You don't need his mule cart, who do we use? Those families in the village who have mule carts didn't rent them because they had a feud with our family before. Otherwise, it might not be her turn." Shen Lin asked.
"Nobody needs it. I plan to buy one for our own family." Shen Mo is in charge of the money, and he knows better than anyone else what the family is like now.Therefore, the tone is indifferent, as if spending ten or twenty cents to buy some food.Shen Lin then thought that he already had 30 taels of silver in his pocket, which was only one-third of the profit, so Zhou Jing and Shen Mo, who accounted for the majority, estimated that it would be rare to talk about a hundred taels of spare money.
