Chapter 21 021: Mrs. Chang is too good at spending money

Basic necessities of life cover all aspects of human life, as long as we live in this world, we cannot live without these four.

Clothes in this era are nothing more than silk, cotton and linen as raw materials, woven by looms, and then cut into ready-made clothes to wear on the body. It seems that there are not many links, but there are many patterns in it, and there are dozens of kinds of fabrics alone. If you don't have a certain understanding of the knowledge, you can't get involved in this business. Of course, those with deep pockets and powerful people don't count. In front of capital, everything is not a problem.

"Don't think about this, it's not something you can play with a small cost."

Zhang Yingda took Chang Xi's words for granted. With his pitifully small cost, it was difficult to just buy a decent set of clothes, let alone doing business in this industry.

In terms of living, it is even simpler. In a word, it is the house and the business related to the house, such as wood, bricks and other raw materials related to the construction of the house.

In ancient times, there were masons who specialized in this kind of work, and they were skilled workers.

"In other words, if you want to get involved in this business now, it's no different from carrying big bags at the pier, and with your small body, they don't need you as an apprentice."

It is also necessary to sell a lot of labor in exchange for the little money that is just enough to live on, and it also requires a certain amount of craftsmanship, which has nothing to do with getting rich.

Zhang Yingda glared at Chang Xi, this woman's mouth is really bad.

"I didn't want to be an apprentice in the past."

Chang Xi squinted at him, "Even if you want to go, you can't find the way."

Don't think that learning art is easy. In ancient times, the life of an apprentice was very hard, and it was not so easy to enter the industry. Besides, Zhang Yingda's father did not work in this industry.

She thought about it for a while, and then she remembered that Zhang Yingda's father was Fang Ya, and his business was trading and renting houses.

So before Zhang Yingda protested, she said again, "I take it back, your father is Fang Ya, and your family's business has something to do with the house..."

"I don't rely on him." Zhang Yingda gritted his teeth with a cold face.

His father is incompetent and has a big temper. He pawned his mother out for money and treated their brothers and sisters harshly. He is like a pig and a dog.

Chang Xi could see that this half-grown boy's hatred for his father was about to go deep into his bone marrow, but she didn't try to persuade people that everything in the world was a parent, because she also had a scumbag father in her previous life, and she knew what it was like to be a child of such a scumbag taste.

"As for travel, you can't even reach cars, horses and ships, so in summary, the first pot of gold you can dig can only be food."

The knowledge of food is great, and it is indispensable for people to live in the world every day, and the business opportunities are even more abundant.

Zhang Yingda listened carefully to what Chang Xi had to say. After such an analysis, he was indeed only capable in this line of work.

However, he spread his hands and said with a embarrassed face, "I'm not good at cooking. In your words, restaurants don't accept kitchen apprentices like me, and they will think I'm small as a waiter..."

The last voice was as thin as a gnat, and he protested against Chang Xi that he was a child before, but now he slapped himself in the face, and he felt a little toothache.

Chang Xi didn't take the opportunity to make fun of him for being stupid, but saw that there was a rather busy section of road ahead, and there were people selling everything on the side of the road, so he ordered the bearer to stop the sedan chair.

Nanny Luo has never interfered too much in Chang Xi's conversation with the half-grown boy, and she is very accommodating. Now that she saw Chang Xi asking to stop the sedan chair, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss Chang, who is this?"

Chang Xi walked out of the sedan chair, looked directly at Nanny Luo and said, "After walking all the way in the sedan chair, I feel a little bored, I want to get down to get some air."

She was not asking for Nanny Luo's opinion, but telling her of her decision.

After her careful observation, the ethos of this dynasty is not very conservative, and there are many women walking on the street, even unmarried girls, so walking like her on the road is not awkward.

Nanny Luo opened her mouth to try to persuade her, but seeing Chang Xi's firm eyes, she immediately knew that if she said more, she would be in trouble with Chang Xi, so she salivated and stretched out her hand with a smile on her face, "I'll help you."

Chang Xi waved her hand and rejected her proposal. She is not in her late teens, so why would she need someone to support her?
She walked forward without caring about the Xie family members behind her.

Xiao Tao followed Chang Xi closely, without even looking at Nanny Luo, she raised her foot and followed behind Chang Xi, then glanced at Zhang Yingda who followed, she was still hostile to this person before, but seeing how Chang Xi treats him It was very unusual, so she put away her suspicions, and began to face up to this half-year-old boy who was only slightly younger than her.

Dongli didn't follow immediately, but looked at Nanny Luo.

Luo Mama gave her a wink, and she quickly caught up with the three-person team in front.

Nanny Luo could only walk at the back with the two bearers who carried the empty sedan chair.

Chang Xi was quite surprised to see that Da Xia actually sold candied haws, so he asked Xiaotao to buy seven bunches, one for each person.

Nanny Luo took the icy candied haws that Xiaotao gave out, she was slightly taken aback, she didn't expect that Chang Xi would bring her along with her when she bought snacks, as soon as her mouth was sweet, she didn't remember the behavior of slandering Chang Xi.

As for the two bearers, they happily ate candied haws. It was the first time they enjoyed the same treatment as the master. This errand was quite easy, and both of them were very satisfied. They still thought that Chang Xi would leave the mansion next time. They also have to compete for errands.

Zhang Yingda is not very willing to eat this expensive snack, but wants to keep it back for his younger sister to eat, but this does not prevent him from observing the people who have benefited from Chang Xi, and seeing that even the sour-faced mother The brows and eyes are stretched, it can be seen that this small favor can win people's hearts, and he seems to have learned something.

Chang Xi took a bite, it was sour and sweet, and it was quite appetizing in summer, but it was hard for this person to think of selling this kind of snacks in the summer by freezing them. The out-of-season items are not cheap, and sure enough, she Turning around, she saw Xiao Tao wrinkled her small face.

"Isn't it delicious?" She teased Xiao Tao.

Xiaotao made a bitter face, "It's delicious, but it's too expensive. This bunch of things is only five or six copper coins in winter, but now it's selling for twelve or three copper coins. Miss Chang, isn't this a scam? "

It's too expensive, even if it's not her money, she can't bear it, Mrs. Chang is too good at spending money.

A few days ago, Madam Zhong sent the [-]-month case before it was warmed up. Mrs. Chang gave it to Lao Shizi and Godmother. Now that she has spent so much on candied haws, her heart is bleeding just thinking about it. After all, she only has a pitiful one or two months of money in a month.

Chang Xi knew at a glance that Xiao Tao was spending money and her heart ached, so she smiled reassuringly, "As long as you eat happily, it's worth it."

Money is for spending. In this regard, she has never known what saving is. After all, some money cannot be saved, otherwise it will be difficult to lead the team. Didn't see Luo Nanny and others have no objections?

"Chang Niangzi, as long as you're happy." Xiaotao said weakly, she didn't want to argue anymore, anyway, it's right to eat now.

This Xiao Tao has more and more appetite for Chang Xi, so Chang Xi is more tolerant towards her now.

It's just that when she turned her head and saw Zhang Yingda who was reluctant to eat the candied haws that were about to melt, she frowned, "If you don't eat it, it will melt. The syrup melts faster in this weather."

Only then did Zhang Yingda notice that the syrup on the outside of the candied haws in his hand was about to melt, and he took a quick bite, the sweet and sour taste exploded in his mouth, and he couldn't help but close his eyes enjoying it, it was so delicious.

However, before he could enjoy it for too long, he heard Chang Xi's question, "What do you think after eating this bunch of candied haws?"

Zhang Yingda opened his eyes instantly, put aside the guilt of not being able to leave the delicious food to his sister for a while, and after thinking for a while, he just replied, "He sells things that others don't have, so he can take the opportunity to raise the price and make a lot of money." A sum of..."

While speaking, many ideas flashed through his mind, and he was eager to catch them.

Chang Xi looked at the half-grown boy who stopped and thought in the middle of his speech, and smiled slightly, not urging him, but slowly strolling around the market by himself.

After walking a few steps, Zhang Yingda caught up eating candied haws.

"Let me tell you, this trick is to make rare things more expensive." Chang Xi said slowly, "You have to find business opportunities in daily food, and they are business opportunities that you can operate at a low cost..."

As she was talking, she realized that Zhang Yingda hadn't followed, she stopped and followed his gaze, and there were a few listless vegetable sellers squatting over there.

She walked over, and Zhang Yingda quickly followed.

She stopped in front of a stall with only a few cucumbers and eggplants left.

"Ma'am, how do you sell this dish?"

Seeing someone asking for the price of the vegetables, the woman who sold the vegetables suddenly regained her spirits, "Madam, it's getting late, and I have to rush back to the village. I'll sell you all the vegetables, and you need three. No, two copper plates will do."
