Chapter 59 A Business

Three wooden boxes, seventeen flower baskets, plus twenty large bags, the total adds up to three hangings, three coins and forty coins.

Shiliu reported the account in detail. The last total made Li Ji and the three of them stop breathing for a few seconds, but the man didn't even blink, and immediately took out the purse from his waist and touched it. He picked up three silver ingots and a broken piece of silver and handed them to Pomegranate.

Pomegranate originally wanted to give someone a zero, but seeing how cheerful she was, she knew that this person was not short of money. If you wipe the zero, you would look down on the person, so she directly gave him two packs of candies.

Because there were many things, including flower baskets and wooden boxes, and the other party had nothing to put them in, Pomegranate simply used one of her own backpacks to put them in.

"Thanks for your patronage, I wish you all the best, happiness and longevity!"

The young man dressed as an entourage who followed behind him stepped forward, took the basket, and held it in his arms.

Shiliu was about to watch the big customer leave with a smile on her face, but she never thought that this man didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave. Instead, he raised his eyebrows when he heard Shiliu's nice words, and couldn't help but take a closer look at this man wearing a white old cotton-padded jacket. and her father and three brothers behind her.

After a moment, he said: "Can this kind of wooden box be made more exquisite?"

Natural things can be made exquisitely. Shiliu knows her father's craftsmanship, and she can help with some suggestions. An exquisite gift box is not a problem.

According to this gentleman, are you planning to make a custom order?
"Yes! Master, are you in need? Are you in a hurry?" If it's too urgent, you can only think of other ways.

The man then said: "If you can, then I will order thirty of them! Don't worry, I will deliver them to Bai Zhai, Hairpin Hutong, Gongyang Lane before the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Is it possible?"

There were thirty pomegranates on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, nearly a month away - she thought about it, they must have arrived in a hurry!

He immediately wrote down the address and said, "Okay! Master! On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, thirty hardcover gift boxes will be delivered to your house on time!"

The man still didn't ask how much each one cost, he directly touched a silver ingot and handed it to the pomegranate as a deposit.

Then he left.

Until everyone had gone far away, Li Jihe and the others still hadn't come back to their senses. Good guy, not only did they sell three slings for more than 100 yuan, but they also took over a big business, thirty gift boxes. This is a lot of money. How much money!

Li Rongyu couldn't help but ask Pomegranate: "How can we make this more exquisite gift box? How much money will we charge for each one? This gentleman didn't even ask the price!"

Pomegranate thought that this person ordered thirty exquisite gift boxes. They must be giving them to others, and the gifts were not ordinary people. There are many kinds of exquisite wooden boxes. The first one is that the wood must not be bad, and it cannot be too cheap or too cheap. Isn’t it inferior to giving it away cheaply?
Her mind was spinning, and she already had a rough idea of ​​how to pack the wooden box, and she just said: "It should cost at least five coins each!"

"Five coins?!" Li Rongyu was so shocked that he lost his voice. His eyes were as big as bull's eyes.

Li Jihe was also shocked, "Pomegranate? How many candies should we put in this wooden box?"

"It doesn't matter how many candies there are, what's important is this wooden box! Dad, I know what's going on. Let's sell the candies first, sell them out and go back early. Then we'll rush to make this gift box, which is a big deal!" Pomegranate said.

When she said this, Li Jihe thought that considering such a big business and receiving a deposit from others, he must do a good job and deliver it on time.

He nodded immediately, "Yeah! Let's sell the candy quickly!"

In fact, the situation of selling candy today really exceeded their expectations. It was only noon, and even though a lot had been sold, there was not much left. The four of them didn't care about finding a place to eat, so they just bought meat buns as they walked and counted them as lunch.

The silver ingots and pomegranates that were sold were all given to Li Jihe while he was taking a break from eating steamed buns in the alley, and he carefully hid them close to his body to ensure that no one else could steal them.

In the afternoon, the four people continued to sell candies, shouting and selling, and now they were far away from the city gate and on the busiest Changjin Street.

The shops on both sides of this street are all decorated with carved buildings and paintings, giving it a prosperous and exquisite look. Even the people walking on this street are all well-dressed, and they look like they are living a prosperous life.

Therefore, as soon as the cries of pomegranates came out, many people quickly attracted people. I heard that they were selling fructose made from oranges. I had never heard of it, but the fructose looked very delicate and beautiful, even if it didn't look like it. Without hesitation, I bought a pack and tried it.

It tasted so good that I immediately returned it and bought another pack or two for my family to try.

A Changjin Street is three miles from the street to the end of the street. By the time the street ends, Pomegranate and the others have very little candy left.

More than half of the thirty-three flower baskets were sold, and the large bags of candies wrapped in oil paper were completely sold out, while only twenty packages of small bags were left.

It seems that it is still a while before dark, and when it gets dark, the night market becomes more lively.

Pomegranate's legs were so painful that she couldn't lift them up, and her throat was straining. But in order to seize the time, she immediately decided to take advantage of the bustle of the night market to sell out all the remaining candies.

Now that I am so tired, my two meals are all dry meat buns, and Pomegranate plans to reward myself.

She led the way and quickly circled back to an alley that she had passed before. At the entrance of this alley, there was a small restaurant that was not too big. Judging from the decoration of the door, it should be a small restaurant that ordinary people could afford. It was later called secularly. "Fly Restaurant" may not look good, but it has been open for a long time, and the taste is uniquely delicious.

All in all, it’s delicious and not expensive.

She had just visited here first and looked at it carefully. She didn't doubt her own vision. This restaurant should be good.

Li Ji and others were shocked when they saw her leading her straight to the restaurant, and quickly grabbed her, "Pomegranate, what are you doing?"

"Eat!" Pomegranate said: "At the end of the day, I am almost starving, and you must be the same, dad! Let's eat first, and then go to the night market after dinner, and try to sell out all the remaining candies tonight. !”

"I'm hungry. It's time to eat. Let's just go ahead and have a bowl of noodles!" Li Jihe said hurriedly. A bowl of plain noodles only costs three pennies. How can this restaurant be so easy to get into? How much money will this cost?

"Dad, I just want to eat!"

Pomegranate eyes stared straight at Li Jihe, making Li Jihe surrender and said, "Eat, eat. I'm following you!"

That's all, the candy is selling so well and so fast today, it's all thanks to my daughter's mouth. My daughter is also working very hard today. If she wants to eat, let him eat!

Several people entered the restaurant. Li Jihe looked around until he sat down to order. His heart was pounding. He wondered how much money this meal would cost.
But no idea, Pomegranate ordered four dishes and one soup. The portions were quite large and the taste was good. They felt full and comfortable after eating, and the bill was only fifty-six cents.

Although it was a lot, Li Jihe felt less painful when he thought about just two packets of candy.

Just when he thought this, he couldn't help but shook his head, hey, now that he has only earned a few dollars, he actually feels that this little expense is nothing!
