suspected wife

Early the next morning, Yue Dongzhi and Shi Gen rushed to make more than a hundred hangers, and hundreds of clothespins came out.

Qiao Mingjin looked very happy.

Quickly screwed up a letter, drew a few blueprints and sent it to Yao Ji in the city early in the morning.

It's only been two days since Yunjin came back, but he often helps Qiao Mingjin deliver things or deliver messages to the city.This time, let him take the freshly baked clothes hangers and clothespins to Yaoji for sale.

Although he was curious about the relationship between his cousin and Yao Ji, he didn't ask too much, nor did he have any doubts.

I just thought it was because the clothes hanger was too thin, so it was inconvenient to store it in Zhou's big shop for sale.

When Yun Jin arrived in the city, he first looked for Yao Ji, handed over the letter, unloaded the clothes hangers and clothespins from the carriage, and went shopping in various places in the city.In a while, he will go to Green Willow Villa to deliver some winter clothes to Ming Jue and Ming Heng.

Qiao Mingjin personally made those clothes for the two brothers.

It's winter, Qiao Mingjin feels sorry for them, and tells them to work hard, the road is slippery, so they don't have to go home frequently.

Fearing that they would be homesick, they made some food and clothes every now and then for Yunjin to give to the two younger brothers.

Although we don't see each other often, we keep in touch often.

Not to mention how the brocade is purchased everywhere in the city, but only the Yao family father and son in Yao Ji.

Yao Ping happened to be there when Yun Jin sent things to Yao Ji today.

He just took a trip to a nearby village two days ago, sold a round trip, and happened to be resting at home today.I couldn't stay idle, so I went to my shop early in the morning to check the goods and prepared to replenish them.

I got what Qiao Mingjin asked to send.I read the letters and drawings again, and was very pleasantly surprised.

Immediately, I found an old clothes from the backyard to try on.

The shop in his house is not big, and there is no backyard, but it is just separated by an inner room as a warehouse for stocking.

With their family's current wealth, they can't afford to rent a shop that is too big.If it wasn't for the 100 taels of silver that Qiao Mingjin invested in back then, let alone a big shop, even this small shop would not be able to afford it.

Now the four members of Yao's family, father and son, plus Yao's mother and Yao Ping's two sister-in-laws, are all selling goods.

Yao's father is getting old, and now he let him watch the shop.The three brothers Yao Fu, Yao Gui, and Yao Ping also drove a carriage to neighboring villages to work as shopkeepers.

And Yao's mother brought two daughters-in-law to the homes of people in the city to sell some rouge, gouache, needlework, flower books, and the like.His youngest sister, Yao An, took care of the house.

Now, even though the Yao family brothers have their own shop, they are still doing takeout.One is to help multiple channels to sell more goods, and the other is to collect some self-produced goods from the countryside at a low price, and transport them to the city to make a difference.

The three brothers got advice from Qiao Mingjin, and they would accept anything that could be exchanged for money in the countryside.

Eggs, rice, miscellaneous grains, dried vegetables, mountain products, furs, wild animals, needlework, or unwanted old furniture, books, clothes, etc.As long as you can exchange money, you will accept it.

Sometimes they did not pay for the things they collected, and many farmers were willing to barter them.

For example, old furniture and other things that are not used by the family, they can exchange some clothing, needlework and other things with them.

Another example is that the eggs and mountain goods collected in this village are transported to the next village, and they are exchanged for other things.

Back and forth, got a lot of price difference.It's not just a one-off business.

Another example is the old books they collect from the city by the catty.After a little tidying up, it was transported to the countryside and sold at a low price to those who were reluctant to buy new books.

If there is a down-and-out scholar who can't afford pen and ink in the countryside.He took new books and offered pen and ink for them to copy.

Copying a book costs one or twenty yuan, and copying a book costs twenty or thirty copies, and then collect them and transport them to other villages to sell to those who cannot afford books.A book sells for forty or fifty yuan, and most people buy it.

It is much cheaper than buying a book at a book store for half a tael or a few coins.

Every time the three brothers deliver goods, they do more than one business.

It is no longer the era of shopkeepers carrying two baskets to sell goods on the street.After Qiao Mingjin's call.By now, they are no longer shopkeepers in the traditional sense.

Now Yaoji's business is booming.It is so prosperous that it is enviable.

A few days ago, I just took advantage of the sleeve sleeves to catch fire, and now there are new things.

Yao Ping was an active person, and he couldn't help being overjoyed when he got Qiao Mingjin's letter.

Immediately hang the clothes on the hangers and pegs and put them on display in the store.

A hanger costs three pennies, and a clothespin costs one penny, which is the price of a meat and vegetable bun.Except for labor, this is already extremely thin.

Yao Ping stood in his shop and looked at it for a while. At first, there were people who were just curious, and then they rushed to buy it.

He watched with eyebrows and eyes crooked.

The hundred or so clothes hangers and hundreds of clothes pegs that I just got in the morning were almost sold out within an hour.

After discussing with his father, Yao Ping hurried out of the shop to look for brocade.

After Yunjin bought good things and went to the Green Willow Villa, the two went back to Xiahe Village together...

In Xiahe Village, after Qiao Mingjin had lunch and coaxed two little things to sleep with Ming Qi, he went to the workshop again.

The hanger and clothespin will definitely be sold out.

Although this thing looks easy to make, not to mention the big families in the city, even the small and medium-sized families will not make this thing by themselves.

Even if other shops wanted to imitate them, as long as they were not carpenter shops, they would definitely not have an advantage over Qiao Mingjin if they hired someone to do it and had to pay for it.

As long as the profit is small, it will be able to sell more.

What she has to do now is to take advantage of the situation and do more before others reflect it.

Even if the shops in the city couldn't be sold out, the three Yao Ping brothers could sell some of them when they transported them to the villages and towns, and even if they kept them as gifts or gave them to their mother's family, there would be no leftovers.

With the help of Qiao Mingjin, Sister Xiu, Mrs. He, and Mrs. Ma, the hangers and clothespins were made even faster.

Shi Gen and Yue Dongzhi were just making the blanks, while the four of them were assembling and smoothing at the side, and the movements were much faster.

When Yunjin came back with Yao Ping, the six of them made another hundred hangers and came out.

Qiao Mingjin was surprised to see Yao Ping: "Why are you here?"

Could it be that her letter was not clear enough?

"Sister Qiao."

Yao Ping greeted Qiao Mingjin excitedly.

Sister Xiu, Shi Ma and the others all recognized that this was the salesman Yao who often came to their village.Also looked at him very strangely.

I don't understand how he came to find Qiao Mingjin.

Qiao Mingjin said to several people in the room: "Brother Yao's family has already opened a grocery store in the city. I plan to sell our hangers in their store."

Everyone realized.

Sister Xiu then teased Yao Ping: "Okay, little peddler, have you opened a shop? This is buying a carriage and opening a shop. It seems that you have earned a lot of money. I don't know how much money has been rolled up in our Xiahe Village." gone."

Yao Ping has been selling goods with his father and two older brothers since he could walk, and his eloquence is very slippery. How can these people talk about it?

Smiling and said: "Isn't that right, if there are no elder sisters to take care of, there would be no shop in our family. These elder sisters can be said to be the parents of our Yao family."

He even bowed to Sister Xiu in a dignified way.

Sister Xiu, Mrs. He and others laughed when they saw it: "What do you mean? We have become your parents for food and clothing? Haha, next time we will see if you dare to accept money from your parents."

Yao Ping smiled again and said: "How dare I accept money from my sisters? It's just that I don't want my sisters to go all the way to the city. Selling it to sisters? It’s just that I don’t want my old horse to suffer with me and earn some fodder money for it.”

Sister Xiu and the others laughed again: "How dare you work so hard to earn fodder for your old horse?"

Yao Ping also smiled and said, "That's right. My old horse is just like my wife, how can I be willing to let him have no fine food?"

Sister Xiu and the others laughed again.

Qiao Mingjin watched them joking with each other and waited for them to take a break.So he led people to a small reception hall in the workshop and started talking.

After Yao Ping sat down, he told about the trial sale of clothes hangers this morning.

Said: "Sister Qiao, I discussed it with my father. You didn't want to charge us for the sleeve sleeves last time. You must charge for the hangers and pins this time. Otherwise, we will be ashamed of it."

Qiao Mingjin said, "I have shares with you, and I also get bonus points every month. You don't need to pay me any more money."

Yao Ping hurriedly said: "No, no, no. Last time, Sister Qiao just provided samples of the sleeves. The material and labor were all made by my mother with her two sister-in-laws and sisters. Sister Qiao didn't charge us for it. It’s easy to say. But now this hanger is made by Sister Qiao. If you don’t charge money, it’s really hard for us to accept it. When I came, my father told me that I must discuss with Sister Qiao how to share the profit. thing."

Qiao Mingjin glanced at him and saw that he wasn't talking politely.

But for this thing, she set a low price.Even if you sell a lot, I'm afraid you won't get much money.She was planning to be a favor.It is used to attract the business of the grocery store.

However, Shi Gen and Yue Dongzhi have to pay hard money.

After thinking about it, he said: "This thing has a small profit. I originally planned to use this thing to attract more people to take care of Yao Ji's business. There is no need to share the profit. It is more serious to continue the grocery store business for a long time. But you saw this hanger just now. I hired people from the workshop to make it. If I need more in the future, I may ask someone to help. So I agreed with them to make five hangers and ten clothes You only pay one penny for the clip. Even if they do it slowly, they can get a subsidy of more than ten or twenty pennies a day. This money should be paid to them from Deli.”

Yao Ping stood up and said: "This is what it should be. How can I let you, Sister Qiao, pay the money? Apart from this, my father and I decided to sell half of the price for the family. How much Sister Qiao sends here each time , we all counted down."

"It's really unnecessary, and it's not a matter of money."

Yao Ping said anxiously: "Although the profit here is thin, everyone can use it. The amount will not be small. We can't take advantage of sister Qiao. If sister Qiao doesn't agree, my father and I will feel bad gone."

Seeing the sincerity of what he said, Qiao Mingjin couldn't shirk it, so she said, "Well, you have worked so hard in the delivery, so let me pay the wages."

After Yao Ping declined, he agreed.

The two discussed it again. Qiao Mingjin said that he would deliver a batch of goods to him every other day. In the past two days, let them go to various villages to try selling...

The two chatted for another hour, and because Yao Ping still had to hurry, Yun Jin drove him away on a horse... Your support is my greatest motivation.)
