Nongmen eldest sister: Farming and opening shops

Chapter 108 The First Order

Soon, pedestrians passed by one after another outside the shop. Seeing that the shop was open, some people looked up from time to time to take a look inside, or looked up at the signboard in front of the door, but most of them could not read and only looked at the sign. Seeing that it was different from before, I looked a few more times curiously.

"The owner of this shop has changed?" Some passers-by stood outside the door and didn't come in, they just looked in.

Hearing this, Lin Qinghe walked to the door with a gentle smile on his face, and said, "It's true that the boss has changed, does the old man want to come in and take a look?"

"No, no, I won't go in, and I won't buy anything. By the way, what do you sell in this shop?" The old man's eyes were a little bit bad, and he looked at it for a while, but he couldn't see anything.

"This is a grocery store. There are not many goods at the moment. There are eggs, bacon, vermicelli, dried fish, these things, and these things will be replenished later, and there will be more things for sale." She said a few words briefly.

Hearing this, the old man nodded slowly: "I also know the rest, what is this vermicelli?" At his age, he had never heard of it, so he was inevitably a little curious.

Lin Qinghe was not impatient either, and patiently explained to him: "The vermicelli is similar to noodles, boiled in water, and can be eaten with some oil and salt, but the taste is different."

"Is it similar to noodles? It's quite rare." The old man was obviously aroused by his curiosity.

Seeing that she refused to come in, Lin Qinghe smiled, and beckoned to Lin Qingmiao, and she brought over a handful of dried vermicelli.

"Look at you, these are vermicelli. They are dry now. They can be eaten after being boiled in water."

The old man leaned over to take a closer look, and then said: "The color is not white enough for the noodles, but since it's for food, it doesn't matter whether it looks good or not, as long as you can eat it, it's better if it tastes good."

This is so true that Lin Qinghe couldn't help but smile: "Your old man is right, isn't that the case."

The old man stared at it for a few more times, and then asked, "How do you sell this vermicelli?"

"Ten cents a catty, because it is dried in the sun, there is a lot in a catty. If you take it home and cook it as a dish, you can eat a lot." Lin Qinghe said with a smile on his face.

"The price is cheaper than noodles." The old man kept staring at the vermicelli, but it was a rarity and he had never seen it before.

The noodles on the market cost fifteen cents a catty. Because they are thin noodles and they are pre-made, the price is much more expensive than buying wheat directly.

She set the price at ten cents a catty, because cassava is not a serious food, and it is not so rare, plus it is indeed a lot per catty. This price is not expensive, nor is it too cheap, it is moderate.

"Isn't it? It's much cheaper than noodles, and the taste is no worse than noodles." Of course, this taste problem varies from person to person, and some people think that noodles are better. .

"That's it!"

The eyes of the old man are bright, and the price of noodles is more expensive, but people who live in the county town have their own livelihoods. Compared with farmers in the countryside, life is still better, and they will inevitably have a lot more money.

After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Give me a catty and try it when you go back. If it's really delicious, I'll buy it next time."

"Hey, wait a moment, I'll weigh it for you." Lin Qinghe was also a little surprised. He thought he was just asking casually, but he didn't expect to buy it. This is the first business he opened, so he just did it.

Brothers and sisters Lin Qingsong and Lin Qingmiao were also very excited. They were still worried that there would be no business, so they came here without thinking about business.

As soon as the two of them were busy, Lin Qinghe weighed out a catty of vermicelli, wrapped it with a piece of straw paper, tied it loosely with a rope, made a settlement, packed it, and handed it to the old man.

The old man handed over the money, Lin Qingmiao took it with both hands, sent him away politely, and then happily ran to keep the account.

Lin Qinghe couldn't help laughing, worried that she might not remember well, so he walked over.

In the past, even if she couldn't remember the expenses of the family, she knew it well in her heart, and she wasn't afraid that she would make a mistake. But now, she goes in and out of the shop much more frequently. Now that the business is slow, it's easy to say , when the business gets busy in the future, if you write it in such a random way, it will not work.

"Look, elder sister, I remember correctly, right?" Lin Qingmiao handed over the account book after writing a few strokes.

Lin Qinghe took it over, looked down, nodded and said: "Yes, I remember it like this, but you need to practice more on this word."

"The third brother praised me, saying that the writing is much better than before." She said a little dissatisfied.

"It is indeed much more neatly written, at least it will not be unrecognizable, but there is still a lot of room for improvement."

Lin Qingsong laughed beside him.

"Second brother, are you laughing at my poor handwriting, or how about we compare?" She said with raised eyebrows.

Lin Qingsong's laughter stopped abruptly, and he said helplessly, "Although my handwriting is not good, it is still a little better than yours. Let's not tear each other down."

"Hmph, you also have self-knowledge, so you dare to laugh at me."

He couldn't help touching his nose, and said cheerfully: "I was wrong, I won't laugh next time."

"Since you know that your handwriting is not good, practice more when you have time. The business in our shop is like this for the time being. You also have plenty of spare time." Lin Qinghe said.

"No, elder sister, I'm very busy. I have to memorize medical books. Why don't I let my second brother practice calligraphy alone? He is a man, and he will stand up for the family in the future. If he writes ugly handwriting, it will be too serious." It has affected the image of our Lin family."

Still having this to say, Lin Qinghe asked amusedly: "Who did you learn these words from?"

"What the third brother said, I think it makes sense, so I will remember it."

"It's true to say that, but you are also the Lin family, and you will also affect the image of our Lin family." Lin Qinghe stretched out his hand and pointed at her.

"No, I'm just a girl, it doesn't matter, besides, many girls in the village are illiterate, let alone write, and no one thinks that they will affect the family?"

Lin Qinghe nodded and said: "I didn't expect you to know this. They are illiterate and can't write, so everyone has very low expectations of them and don't expect them to be able to do anything, but it's different if you can read. Of course You have to compare yourself with people who can read and write, don’t you think?”

It seems to be the same thing, if she competes with an illiterate girl in reading, isn't she bullying someone!

"Eldest sister, you always seem to be so reasonable." Lin Qingmiao let out a breath, feeling that although she is small, she seems to be the busiest one in the family, but she is also willing to do these busy things, only occasionally Want to be lazy.
