Chapter 172 Shop
Early in the morning on the eleventh day of the lunar month, Pomegranate brought the goods to be delivered to the city. Li Rongzong drove the mule cart, and Li Jizu, Li Rongyu and Li Xiangli went with him.

That's right, in addition to going to the city to deliver goods today, I also have to visit shops.

All the way into the city, around the same time as before, I went straight to Jixiang Inn and delivered the thirty wooden boxes I had made in the past few days, as well as the second batch of salted egg yolks and meat floss.

It was decided at that time that the first batch on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year would send 100 packs of meat floss and 1,000 salted egg yolks, and every five days after that, 50 packs of meat floss and 300 salted egg yolks would be sent. If there are any changes, we will inform you in advance.

No, after all the goods were delivered and the money was paid, Shopkeeper Huang said with a smile that the meat floss was sold really well in teahouses, and some customers in the inn had inquired about it and wanted to buy a few packs to take home. Therefore, next time, I will still give you 100 packs of pork floss, but the salted egg yolk will not change.

Pomegranate listened and immediately agreed happily.

After leaving Jixiang Inn, we went straight to Xinglongzhai to deliver the goods, and then headed south of the city.

The shop was on Lingshui Street, not far from Nanmen Market. She found the location according to the address. From a distance, Shiliu saw that this shop was very good.

I saw that the shop is located at the intersection of two streets. The two storefronts are also in the shape of corners. This one is on Lingshui Street, and the other one is at the end of Nanmen Market. Whether you are walking through Nanmen Market or Lingshui Street , everyone can see this shop.

After driving the mule cart directly through the back door, you will see a large backyard, just like Ding Fuguang said, with several small rooms, an ancient well in the middle of the patio, and a small thatched house in the corner of the back west wall. A straw shed, specially used for tying livestock.

Then go out through the small door blocked by a curtain, and you will arrive at the front door. On the right hand side is the counter, and on the left hand side is the counter. Yes, this shop used to sell grain.

According to the adoptive father's original words, there were several grain shops in front and back, and the business was a bit crowded. However, the Ding family also had a grain shop two streets away. The business of that shop was not bad, so it was okay to abandon this one.

But as soon as Shiliu saw the location of this shop, she knew that no matter how bad the business was, it wouldn't be much worse. It was just because her adoptive father wanted to give this shop to her for business that it was not worth it.

Speaking of which, the foster father of this shop only wanted her forty taels of silver, and no matter how much she said, her foster father would not ask for more.

Look at the cabinet shelf on the side of the shop. Like the counter, they are all brand new, including the bed in the back room. Her adoptive father did not let anyone move it away and left it to her.

After looking at it, Shiliu felt that there was nothing to decorate. This shop looked very good. If it was cleaned and cleaned, and the shelves that had been made by the carpentry workshop in the past few days were moved in, it would be almost ready to open. .

At that moment, Pomegranate allowed Li Jizu and Li Rongyu to walk back and forth to get acquainted with each other.

There are four rooms in the backyard, two of which are close to the front. One is a warehouse and the other is a kitchen. The two rooms at the other end have beds, which are for people to live in.

Then they found a bundle of firewood left in the kitchen to light a fire and boil hot water, and started cleaning.

Ding Fuguang had people vacate the shop before and tidied it up. It had only been unoccupied for a few days, so it had accumulated some dust, but it was easy to clean.

After washing and wiping, my stomach growled for a while, and I was shocked to realize that it was almost midnight and it was already time to have lunch.

Pomegranate gave Li Rongyu money and asked him to go out and buy some food. Several people scrubbed the door panels carefully, and after a while, Li Rongyu came back with a stack of boxes.

"Why so fast? Didn't I ask you to buy food? What did you buy?" Li Rongzong asked out of curiosity.

Li Rongyu put a stack of boxes on the counter in a showy manner, "This is a box lunch! I saw people in that restaurant carrying boxes like this when they came in and out. When I went in out of curiosity, I found out that that restaurant specially made this kind of box lunch. Come and buy, you don’t have to wait, look, the lid of this box is open, half of it is rice and half of vegetables, how convenient! It’s not expensive, only ten cents per box is enough to fill you up! Oh, a bowl of noodles with meat costs six cents! So I just bought this!
The guy also said that after the meal is finished, you can get a penny back if you return the box! "

"This restaurant is quite clever." Li Jizu couldn't help but praise it.

Pomegranate glanced at it and saw that the lunch box was made of bamboo, thin and rectangular, with a partition in the middle. The large compartments contained rice and the small compartments contained vegetables. It looked similar to the disposable lunch boxes of later generations. She couldn't help but become interested, and when she asked Li Rongyu, she found out that it was the restaurant where she went to buy food on the first day of junior high school.

Recalling that day, the boss asked her in detail about the rice and vegetables being packed together. She mentioned it casually at the time, but she didn't expect that the boss took it into his heart. It only took a few days. It was actually sold. Not only did it sell, but I also thought of recycling the lunch boxes. This is such a clever brain!

Looking at the portion of the meal, it is quite large. It is estimated that even a middle-aged man doing hard work can eat it. The dish is a radish roasted with fat meat. If you count it, there are several pieces of meat, and the rice is full. They were also given soup, a few pickles, and rice. Tsk, I don’t blame the boss for making money!

After eating and packing up everything that needed to be packed, Pomegranate asked Li Rongzhong and the others to go to the cattle and horse market to buy a mule and a cow. Li Jili took them there last time. Li Rongzong also knew the place, so he went to the dealer. appropriate!

After they left, Shiliu took Li Xiangli for a walk on Lingshui Street. When they turned a street, they saw a jewelry shop that looked pretty good, so they walked in.

Li Xiangli also brought her five taels of silver today, and Li Rongzong and his three brothers each gave three taels of silver to Pomegranate, asking her to watch them buy gifts for her parents.

Mrs. Song was easy to say, just buy jewelry, but what to buy for Li Jihe, Pomegranate thought about it carefully, and finally decided to buy him a cow.

Well, she knew that her father always dreamed of owning a cow. Although their family didn't have much land and didn't need a cow, there was no harm in buying a cow for her father to drive around.

A cow costs at least twelve or three taels of silver. The brothers and sisters each contributed three or three taels of silver, so they scraped together fifteen taels of silver to buy the cow for their father, leaving only two or three taels of silver for their mother to buy jewelry.

However, Pomegranate had so many jewelry gifts from her adoptive father and mother, and she had no plans to buy jewelry for the time being, so she planned to use the remaining two taels of silver to make up for it.

In addition, her father knew that they would buy gifts for her mother, so he gave her three taels of silver with a look of embarrassment, saying that he didn't know how to pick out jewelry and asked her to watch and buy it, so he would get a share.

This wave of secret dog food is also called pomegranate and I can’t help laughing.

In this way, seven or eight taels of silver is enough to buy a set of jewelry.

No, Shiliu looked around and finally settled on a set of twelve pieces of sterling silver headbands with Fulu Guizi patterns, including two bracelets, weighing five taels and eight yen. The asking price was seven taels and five yen. Anything extra is earned by the jewelry store as labor costs.

If you buy gold, the labor cost will be more. A set of several pieces will cost you twenty or thirty taels of silver. Shiliu shook her head and secretly thought about waiting for the next time. Next time she buys jewelry for her mother, she will definitely buy a gold set. Let your mother wear the head and face to play with!
