Portable Space: Traveling through Nongmen

Chapter 238
Going to the town to open a shop is a gamble. If the business is successful, you can earn back the few taels of money you rented from the shop and earn a few more taels of money.

If the business is not good, the rent will be paid in vain.

This does not include the plaque that will be made after making up the mind to open the shop, as well as the decoration in the house. It will cost a few taels of silver to get it together.

Even if Zhou Yurong loves this girl again, she can only help her a little at ordinary times, and it is impossible to give her so much money to go around.

So this money can only be earned by Shen Yingshu himself, and Zhou Yurong, Shen Qinglie and Gu Lian can at most add a little bit, which is considered as a help.

However, this result is quite surprising.

Especially Qiuju's sister-in-law heard from Shen Yingshu that their shop is not bad, she knows how many people are in their family, no wonder she hasn't seen Zhou Yurong and Gu Lian these days.

After a long time, it turned out that I went to the town to help my daughter.

Zhou Yurong, Gu Lian, Shen Qinglie, and Shen Yingshu are all capable. These few people are too busy in the shop, so one can imagine how good the business is.

Qiuju's sister-in-law couldn't help admiring Shen Yingshu. When everyone in the village looked down on her, she worked hard to make money and opened a shop in the town, and the business was very good.

If this is found out by those eight women in the village who gossip behind people's backs all day long, I'm afraid they will be envious and jealous.

However, my family is not close to Shen Yingshu's family, so even if I was looking for someone, I would probably be looking for someone who is more familiar with the Shen family, why would I come here to look for Xintong.

Curious, Qiu Ju's sister-in-law asked directly.

There are not many jobs that can find women to work these days. Shen Yingshu is also a good character. Believable.

Her sons and daughters are also honest people.

If the price Shen Yingshu offered was right, Xintong could go over and have a try. It would be better to go to the town to see more than to spend all day in this small tree.

Moreover, Xintong is not young anymore, when she turns 15, she will not be able to go out casually after the dormitory is settled.

Taking advantage of her young age, if she can earn money, she can earn some pocket money by herself.

Shen Yingshu told the truth, "I have never met Xintong before, and I don't know what kind of person Xintong is. My mother told me that Xintong is a capable and reliable girl, so I came here to try it out. try."

"What did your mother say?" Wen Yan, Qiu Ju's sister-in-law, looked back at her daughter.

Shen Xintong nodded slightly and said that she had indeed met Zhou Yurong a few times before, but unexpectedly Zhou Yurong seemed to have a good impression of her.

Seeing her own daughter nodding, Qiuju's sister-in-law nodded knowingly, no wonder Shen Yingshu came straight to her house, and even came to look for Xintong.

It turned out that it was because Zhou Yurong had mentioned it to her.

After Shen Yingshu finished speaking, she was afraid that Qiuju's sister-in-law would think of something else, so she added, "In addition to my mother recommending me, I also heard about Xintong, knowing that Xintong is a kind-hearted and capable child, so I came here Yes. I won’t hide it from you, the time I spent on returning to the village today was squeezed between my teeth, I just rushed back from the town, and as soon as I came back, I came straight to your house.”

"Yingshu, what you said is too exaggerated. My Xintong is not so good. She is just an ordinary girl in the village."

There is no reason to be unhappy when others praise your daughter, let alone this girl was taught by herself.

Aunt Qiuju immediately burst into a smile, yes, among other things, her family Xintong is one of the best among the little girls in the village, she is beautiful and capable, and has a generous and cute personality.

The fact that Shen Yingshu and Zhou Yurong were the first to think of their daughter was due to their foresight.

But whether to go to the town to help is another matter. After all, her opinion is nothing, the main thing is Shen Xintong, whether you like it or not, and whether you want to go or not.

Just now she heard from Shen Yingshu that the store is very busy and the time is tight, and she didn't want to delay Shen Yingshu's time, so she simply asked Shen Xintong what she thought, "Xintong, you heard what you said to greet Aunt Shu just now. Do you want to Go? If you don’t want to go, Mother will not urge you, and if you want to go, Mother will not stop you. If you have anything to ask, just ask directly.”

Shen Xintong is also still hesitating, she is almost 14 years old now, and it will be her age in two years.

She stayed at home since she was a child, and rarely went to the town, and as she got older, her parents took her less to the town.

Apart from being in the village, she is busy at home every day. If possible, she also wants to go outside, even if it is just to the town, at least she can see other scenery.

And Shen Yingshu said that if he went to work in his shop, he would still be paid.

"...Aunt Yingshu, can I ask you, how much money do you earn every day for working in your shop?" Although it was a bit embarrassing for a girl like him to ask this question, it was related to my future wages, and I still had to pay for it. Ask carefully.

"Yes, Yingshu, how do you calculate the wages in your shop? If it's cheaper, I'm reluctant to let my daughter go."

No matter how happy Shen Yingshu's words made her just now, as soon as the copper coins were mentioned, Qiu Ju's sister-in-law immediately came to her senses.

Just now, Shen Yingshu had roughly explained the situation of his shop, probably because there were so many people that he couldn't keep up, and when his daughter went, I'm afraid she would have to be busy all day long.

Hearing what Xintong said just now, her heart should be moved, so she, a mother, will not stop her, but if the salary is less, she is not willing.

Shen Yingshu hurriedly said, "It's like this. It depends on your choice to pay monthly or pay daily. I set the salary in stages. The daily price is ten yuan and fifteen yuan respectively."

Of course, Shen Xintong's wages cannot be compared with Zhou Yurong and Gu Lian's. One of them is his sister-in-law and the other is his mother, and she pays them more than others, which is her own subsidy.

But she has no direct blood relationship with Shen Xintong and is not very close, so of course she has to move the salary back.

Moreover, the price of ten-wen or ten-wen documents is not low anymore. After all, this is a day's wages. You must know that being an apprentice in other places only costs a few copper coins a day or there is no money at all.

As for the little girls working in those rouge shops and Dongniang's shop, their daily wages are only ten cents.

The normal price of embroidering a square handkerchief is six or seven cash, but it takes about two or three days to embroider a square handkerchief. Compared with this, you can earn ten yuan a day, which is definitely not a small price.

"How is it divided? Why is it still ten or fifteen coins a day? How can I get fifteen coins?"

No matter if it is ten Wen or fifteen Wen, the price is quite a lot. Usually, Xintong stays at home embroidering handkerchiefs, and spends two or three days embroidering with his eyes, but he still can't earn this money.

But is the salary ten or fifteen pennies?Qiu Ju's sister-in-law listened in a daze, and hurriedly asked.

This is indeed because he was a little ill-considered, and this was also when he spoke before the accumulated problems in his previous life. Halfway through the speech, everyone almost understood it.

But now in ancient times, Shen Yingshu hurriedly continued to explain, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law Qiuju, I really didn't make it clear. What I mean is to divide it into two stages. Unfamiliar with it, at this stage, I will give her ten cents a day, and after five or six days, she will be able to control it proficiently, and I will give her fifteen more."

At this moment, Aunt Qiuju understood, "You mean to give Xintong an adaptation period. During the adaptation period, the wages will be lower. When everything is learned, the wages will be raised."

She understands this, and that's right, even when they usually go to work in the fields, they have to give a trial period to those who haven't done it before.

"Yes." Shen Yingshu nodded and then continued, "In addition to these guaranteed wages, if our store's daily income is more than two taels of silver, and you exceed one tael, Xintong will also have an extra wage of five cents."

Now Aunt Qiuju is going crazy again. He has never been to school, and he is just an out-and-out rural woman. He could understand the simple words before, but now she is a little confused.

But generally speaking, Xintong's wages will rise again after the daily money reaches a certain amount.

"Xintong, what do you think?" Qiu Jusheng cast her eyes on Shen Xintong.

"Mother, I want to go." Shen Xintong then completely understood what Shen Yingshu said just now, at this price, at this salary, to be honest, no matter where it is, it is a popular job.

Ten cents a day, and after five or six days, when the work is familiar, it will rise to fifteen cents, so there will be at least 400 copper coins per month, not including the commission.

Almost [-] copper coins a month, two months that is one tael of silver!This year, let alone six taels of silver, that is six taels of silver. Parents work so hard every day to farm the land. This year's harvest, except the grain handed in, and the grain that goes out to eat at home, the rest The money you paid may not be six taels of silver.

Six taels of silver, how many beautiful clothes and headwear she can buy for herself.Even if she only works for two or three years, she can save a lot of dowry for herself.

Shan Fan hesitated for a moment, that was disrespect for the white money.

At this time, Qiu Ju's sister-in-law was also doing the calculations in her heart. Although she didn't know a few big characters, she was usually in charge of the family's food and clothing. She was still very sensitive to numbers. Counting this year, there is a lot of silver.

When it was calculated that her daughter received more than five or six taels of silver every year, Qiu Ju's sister-in-law couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, and secretly slapped her tongue in her heart. Even her own daughter can earn five or six taels of silver every year.

How much does Shen Yingshu earn this year? As she said just now, as long as the daily income exceeds two taels of silver, she will add money. Seeing how calm her face is, the business of his shop is booming!
If the people in the village know about this, they will probably want to die. Then write one or two people who are still chewing their tongues behind their backs. They have opened shops now, and their annual income may be hundreds of taels or even thousands of dollars. two.

Those people in this village may not be able to earn so much money in their lifetime, and they don't know how they can speak ill of people who are a hundred times stronger than them.

But that's what she thought in her heart, and sister-in-law Qiu Ju also knew that this matter should not be publicized, otherwise no one in the village would know about Shen Yingshu's opening of the shop except for the Shen family.

So capable, so rich, and so low-key, Shen Yingshu is really capable.

Qiuju's sister-in-law's affection for Shen Yingshu has gone up to a new level, and she completely forgot that she used Shen Yingshu as a matchmaker before.

"By the way, I forgot to ask just now. You just said that you opened a shop in the town. What should Xintong do when she usually sleeps and eats? She can't leave every day and come back at night. What's more, every day Do you want to work? Do you have a break?"

"I've thought about this a long time ago. What I mean is that we are in charge of the food in the shop, and the shop I live in has a backyard and a house in the backyard. If Xintong doesn't suggest it, you can live in the backyard directly. .

As for the rest time, our store usually opens at 07:30, and after experiencing the climax of breakfast, we can rest after ten o’clock, rest for an hour until noon, and then there are not many people until 01:30 in the afternoon Yes, you can rest after this time, until 04:30, and you will be busy until seven o'clock.There are two days off in a month. "

These are all Shen Yingshu's plans in advance. The climax time of every meal must be work, otherwise why would she hire people?After the climax time has passed, you can take a break and work for about eight or nine hours a day.

"So that's how it is." That is, food and housing are included, and this time is also reasonable. After working for a period of time, you can take a break. There are two days of rest every month, which is enough for free activities.

Opening a snack shop, you must not be able to rest during meal times. Sister-in-law Qiu Ju also knows this. Otherwise, if you are given so much copper money every day, will they feed you for nothing?

Qiu Ju's sister-in-law nodded, looking like her own daughter, and wanted to see her opinion.

Shen Xintong's eyes were bright, although when she heard that she was going to live in the town, she hesitated for a while, but it was only a little bit.

Being able to eat and sleep in the town, she also has free time every day. This does not mean that she is free and can often go shopping in the town.

She had heard about this from the little sisters before, and there were acrobatics and opera theaters, so it was much more fun.

Before, she could only listen enviously to the little sisters, but if she lived in the town, would she be able to see it all?

Thinking of this, Shen Xintong said without any hesitation, "Mother, I want to go."
