The farmer has a mall

Chapter 47
In ancient times, a woman would be cast aside if she showed her face in public, and in some uncivilized places, she would even be soaked in a pig cage.

Although the folk customs of Jianan Country are open, but a little girl like Gu Yueju will still be gossiped when she goes out to work as a buddy.

Gu Nanyan didn't force it, and just waited quietly for her reply.

Xiao Liu was a little worried that if her daughter reached the age of marriage, if her reputation was bad, she would not be able to be called a good husband's family.

Gu Yueju first bowed her head in silence, with some hesitation on her face.

She looked at Gu Laishhou who was at the side.

Gu Laishhou smiled: "Your mother and I don't have any disagreements. If you want to go, you can go. If you don't want to go, you can stay at home. Dad can support you."

Although she is a young girl, Gu Laishhou has always been a bowl of water.

He hoped that his son could leave the village, and he would not stop his daughter when it was her turn.

Gu Yueju bit her lips in confusion, raised her head after a while, and said firmly, "I'll go."

She also wants to have her own business like her sister.

I want to earn more money to buy nice clothes for my mother.

I want to help my elder brother and father share more.

I don't want to be rejected by my husband's family every day like the little sister who married into the neighboring village. Every time I see her, she seems to be a few years older.

Although Xiao Liu was worried about her daughter, she also respected her daughter's choice just like Gu Laishhou.

Gu Nanyan nodded, not surprised by this result.

Gu Yueju used to live in the old house of Gu's family very depressed, once she was allowed to breathe the outside air, she naturally didn't want to go back to the cage.

"Then you will go to the store with your brother tomorrow, familiarize yourself with the display of the goods, and come back with Cui Yao after work every day."

"A basic salary of one tael of silver per month plus a commission."

Gu Nan paused for a moment, afraid that she would not understand what commission meant, and explained: "It means that for every 1000 taels of goods sold, you can get one tael of silver."

Gu Yueju widened her eyes in surprise.

so tall!
Little Liu didn't expect it either, and said with some hesitation: "Nanma, don't pay more just because she is your sister."

Gu Nanyan twitched the corners of her mouth, but didn't tell them that the base salary was just a fraction compared to the commission.

"Third Aunt is worrying too much. The price I offered Cui Yao was five taels a month."

Of course, there is also a commission, and his commission is [-]% of the turnover, which is much higher than Gu Yueju.

Gu Laishhou and Xiao Liu were relieved after hearing the words, and returned to Gu's old house with happy faces.

Cui Yao was recognized for the first time, and he worked very hard, almost taking care of everything.

Gu Nanyan was happy to be a hands-off shopkeeper, leaving everything to him.

Three days later, the opening day ushered in, and Gu Nanyan took his family to the town.

Mrs. Liu not only took out the new clothes that she was reluctant to wear on weekdays, but also smeared hair oil on her head, and she looked much more energetic.

Li Mi also put on new clothes, posing like a gentleman, followed by Aunt Cui and Mrs. Bai.

As for the two children, housekeeper Zhao, who stayed behind to look after the house, took care of them.

When they arrived at the town, Shopkeeper Wu had already been waiting at the door. When he saw Li Mi, he was very surprised. He obviously didn't expect him to come, so he hurriedly bowed down and saluted.

"You are here."

Li Mi pretended to hold his head up and hummed, and the corners of his eyes glanced at Gu Nanyan with some complacency.

Look at the sincerity and fear of shopkeeper Wu when he saw him, this is the reaction of a normal person, not like this stinky girl.

Gu Nanyan gave him a cool look.

The Dog Emperor actually dared to protest against her, it's been a long time since he was itchy!

As soon as she took a step, she passed him and stood in front of shopkeeper Wu who was bending over to salute.

Shopkeeper Wu: "..."

Li Miqi's beard was about to stick up.

When he returns to the palace, he must be arrested and beaten with a board!
Seeing Gu Nanyan coming, Cui Yao hurriedly took small steps and proudly pointed at the store to ask for credit.

"Look at the results of this young master?"

This was all done by him.

Gu Nanyan gave him an appreciative look: "Very good."

Cui Yao, who was praised, almost smirked.

When the auspicious time came, Cui Yao lit the firecrackers, and Gu Nanyan lifted the red cloth on the door plaque with a crackling sound.

All the passers-by onlookers looked at it curiously, and couldn't help discussing it.

"Fruit color and heavenly fragrance? This is a fruit seller."

"Nonsense, where do you get the fruits in winter? If you ask me, they should be selling preserved fruits."

"It's because you are ignorant and ignorant. If you see the Fuman Building next to it, they sell fresh fruits. The people who line up every day block the road."

"I know this. I heard that there is a fruit plate package launched in it, and the minimum cost is 100 taels."

"100 taels?! Honey, we can't afford it."

Gu Nanyan saw that there were a lot of onlookers, so she picked up the flyer that someone had just painted yesterday.

"Don't miss it when you pass by. This store has a great opening. Buy a catty and get half a catty for all purchases in the store. The places are limited and sold out."

After finishing speaking, she distributed the leaflets to the few people standing in the front row.

When everyone heard that there was such a good thing as buying a catty and getting half a catty free, they all lowered their heads to look at the flyer, but they were dumbfounded after seeing it.

The cheapest cucumber costs 15 taels a catty, so I'm afraid it's not a money grab!

For a while, no one dared to step forward.

Such an expensive thing, if they break it, they can't afford it!
Seeing that no one bought it, Mrs. Liu and the others couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

These are all fruits, they won't be fresh after a few days, and they'll go bad easily.

Gu Nanyan didn't rush, she asked someone to move two tables, and put strawberries and cut watermelon on them.

An elder who was queuing up at Fumanlou next to him saw it and walked over in a few steps.

"Hey, isn't this the fruit platter from Fumanlou?"

He looked curiously at the watermelon on the table.

"So the watermelon grows like this, tsk tsk, how much is a catty for such a big one?"

What Fumanlou sells are all cut, and the prototype cannot be seen, so the man is very curious about this.

Seeing a customer asking the price, Cui Yao stepped forward with a smile on his face.

"Customers have good eyesight. Watermelon is the treasure of our store. It sells for 20 taels a catty on weekdays, and a whole watermelon costs more than 400 taels."

Cui Yao paused for a moment, and after the exclamations around him subsided, he smiled again and said, "But today is a happy opening, buy a catty and get half a catty free, such a melon is only more than 200 taels."

The people around gasped.

More than 200 taels and you just paid it back?

If you add a little more money, you can buy a small courtyard in the town.

I'm afraid it's not a black shop.

The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile, "It's really not expensive."

He usually pays more than 100 taels for a meal in a restaurant, not to mention that this big watermelon is much more affordable than the fruit plate in Fumanlou.

He has eaten a lot of good things, and he has also tasted honeydew melons from the Western Regions.

To be honest, it's not as delicious as this watermelon.

Moreover, the honeydew melons were all tributes, so he managed to ask someone to buy one from a Western Region merchant, not to mention spending a lot of money, which was not enough for the whole family.

"Then install one for me."

Buy it back and give it to the children to taste, so that his wife always said that he eats alone.

Cui Yao didn't expect him to be so forthright, he led people in to pick melons happily.

Upon seeing this, Shopkeeper Wu said cheerfully, "Now you will snatch all my guests from Fumanlou."

Gu Nanyan rolled his eyes at him.

Most of the people who go to Fumanlou to eat are treats. These people come to the restaurant to eat and discuss things. They all want to save face. They will definitely order the most popular fruit platter in the restaurant.

So her shop didn't have much impact on Fumanlou's business.

Sure enough, after the man bought the watermelon, he ran back with the boy and queued up.

There are more and more onlookers, all of whom are ordinary people watching the fun.

During the period, some servant girls from rich families also came into the shop to buy some for the master to try out.

This is a rare item, and it has been spread throughout most of the town as early as the day Fumanlou was sold.

Fumanlou sold out of stock every day. After several days of fermentation, many people had already queued up for half a month.

Aunt Cui and the others were worried that the price set by Gu Nanyan was too high and no one would buy it.

Now that there are guests coming in, I feel relieved.

Aunt Cui had a joyful smile on her face, feeling happy for Gu Nanyan.

Meanwhile, Gu Nanyan was on the second floor, accompanied by shopkeeper Wu, looking at the crowd below the street.

The two were holding half a watermelon each, and were eating with spoons. Shopkeeper Wu suddenly talked about the Qian family.

"I checked that matter for you, and there is indeed something strange." He dug out a piece of watermelon heart and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely.

"Several women were also washing clothes by the river that day. According to what they said, they didn't see Mrs. Li that day."

Gu Nanyan was thoughtful: "Could it be that they went to another river, or that Mrs. Li is farther away, and they didn't pay attention?"

"Impossible." Shopkeeper Wu said.

"There is that river nearby. The water level is very shallow. Even if a child falls into it, it won't be washed away."

"and……"

Shopkeeper Wu paused, and looked at Gu Nanyan with a complicated expression.

"Mr. Li's whereabouts have also been found out."
