Chapter 11 Buying a New House

"Aunt Tang!" Xiao Zhengtai was very impressed with this aunt who, although she didn't see her several times a year, would bring gifts to her whenever she came back, and immediately called out sweetly when she saw her.

"Good boy!" Bai Tang pinched Xiao Zhengtai's smooth face, went back to his room and took a two-foot-tall Transformers model and handed it to Xiao Zhengtai.

Xiao Zhengtai's eyes were shining brightly, and his eyes were almost glued to the model.

"Thank you auntie!"

"Play by yourself!" Baitang rubbed the top of the child's head, the soft hair felt very nice to the touch.

Xiaozheng showed a bright smile, hugged Transformers and ran to the sofa to play with models.Bai Tang walked to Bai Ma's side.

"Xiaokang is much taller than last year!"

"The child grows up fast!" Bai Ma said, "This child not only grows up fast, but also becomes more sensible. Hey, this child without a father makes people feel distressed!"

"Isn't he still in love with you two grandpa and grandma?" Baitang smiled and changed the subject, asking about Mama Bai's other relatives.

"Zhang Rui is going to bring his girlfriend home at the end of the year!" Mother Bai became depressed when she said this.Zhang Rui is the son of Baitang's second aunt, one year younger than Baitang, and he already has girlfriends, but his daughter has not moved at all.

"Ah! Then I have to rush to prepare a meeting gift!" Baitang pretended not to see Mama Bai's resentment, and babbled, "What should I give? A jade bracelet or a jade pendant?"

"Just send anything you want. Don't show off like a nouveau riche." Mama Bai believed in not revealing her wealth.

"Yes!" Baitang gave a military salute.

Wu Xuemei knew that Baitang was going home today and got off work early, so before six o'clock, the two families sat down at the dining table.The delicious Yangzhou cuisine was delicious to several people.

"Tangtang, which restaurant did you buy these dishes? It's delicious! I'll take my colleagues to eat next time." Wu Xuemei took a bite of the lion's head, it was so delicious that she almost swallowed her tongue.

"I made it myself, and I don't have to sell it outside!" Baitang took all the credit for himself, but he couldn't tell Wu Xuemei clearly that these delicious dishes were packed back from ancient times, right?Fortunately, her cooking skills are good, and she also learned some local specialties when traveling in the world of Red Mansions. In addition, the ingredients from ancient times are fresh. .Just four or five points is even better than the food made by modern restaurants.

"Okay, Tangtang, with such good cooking skills, my uncles and aunts and I will be blessed." Wu Xuemei laughed.She knew what this girl was thinking, so she didn't say anything about "good cooking skills can catch a man's stomach".

"Sister Meimei, how is your current job? Is it hard? How much is your salary?" Baitang asked without any scruples.

"I'm now one thousand eighty-nine a month. If I run a lot, I can earn two thousand three four." Wu Xuemei's face became a little gloomy. Her education level is not high, and she can't find an easy and high-paying job. Can be a salesman who runs around, going through the wind and rain every day, and even spends little time with his son.

"That's it! Do you want to help me? I'll give you 2000 yuan a month, but you have free working hours, and you can work at home." Before going home, Bai Tang had already thought about what she would do in the future. I work late at night, and I want to open an online store, so I can be more free and relaxed.After returning from the World of Red Mansions, she became more determined about this idea, and there is no need to worry about purchasing channels!

Wu Xuemei's heart is moved. She has free working hours and can work at home. She has extra time to spend with her son.

"Tangtang, what job is it? What can I do?"

"I want to open a website, so you can help me take orders and deliver the goods, and answer some customers' questions by the way. I can handle the rest of the purchases." Baitang said.

"Online store? What do you want to sell?" Wu Xuemei has also heard that online stores make money, and the threshold is very low, but she has no funds and no purchase channels, so this idea can only be an idea.

"I want to sell some embroidery and small classical crafts." Baitang put down the bowl and chopsticks, took out an embroidered handkerchief and handed it to Wu Xuemei, "For you!"

Wu Xuemei took the handkerchief, and saw the vivid plum blossoms embroidered on it, as if she could smell the fragrance of plum blossoms.

"Such exquisite embroidery must not be cheap, right?" Wu Xuemei was amazed, she couldn't put down her handkerchief.

Baitang smiled and did not answer.Twenty copper plates, one embroidered handkerchief, ten patterns of money and one webbing, really cheap!

Xing Xiaokang rolled his big eyes, looked at his mother and then at his aunt. From the conversation between the two, the child understood that Aunt Tang gave his mother a job. In the future, his mother will not work so hard like now, and will have extra time to accompany myself.The child was very happy and thought it was great that his aunt came back.

The child narrowed his eyes with a smile, and sipped the noodle soup one bite at a time - the staple food was noodles, "the noodles that were sent off by the dumpling", Mother Bai had already prepared the noodles.

"Little guy, what are you laughing at? Aren't you on summer vacation? Then help your mother more, and my aunt will pay you when the time comes." Baitang smiled and said to Xing Xiaokang.

Xing Xiaokang's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Am I a work-study program?"

"Forget it!"

"Hehe, then I will tell Liu Shun and the others to make them envious!"

"Who is Liu Shun?"

"It's my classmate, my best friend."

"..."

On the second day, Baitang took a full day's rest. On the third day, Baitang, who had had enough rest, started looking for a house. City D is a third-tier city, and there are not many high-end buildings, but the surrounding environment and quality of many mid-range buildings are no worse than those in big cities.Baitang ran for three days, compared the existing properties, and bought two new houses.One household has three bedrooms and two living rooms, and one household has one bedroom and one living room, all on the same floor.Baitang plans to give Xing Xiaokang mother and son to live in one room and one living room.The relationship between the two families is so good, Father Bai and Mother Bai must be reluctant to part with Xing Xiaokang, plus he has money in his hand, Bai Tang doesn't care about paying an extra 20.At that time, Wu Xuemei will be charged a symbolic rent of three or four hundred yuan, which is said to be employee benefits, and Wu Xuemei will definitely not refuse.

"Ms. Bai, do you have a favorite decoration company?" the sales lady asked with a smile on her face.She was so happy. She didn't expect that the ordinary woman in front of her was an invisible rich man. From entering the sales office to going to the on-site inspection, she made a purchase within two hours, and paid in full.I really can't see it!Hehe, the other salesmen must be jealous of me, but who made them blind!

"Do you have a good introduction?" Baitang was very troubled about the decoration, it was too troublesome, she hoped to find a decoration company to do it all at once.

"My boyfriend is from a decoration company. He also bought a new house in Binhu Park and renovated several houses in it." The sales lady seized the opportunity to solicit business for her boyfriend.

"Okay! Then help me to contact him, I hope I can help me decorate it all at once, and I don't want to have to run around in the middle!" Bai Tang decided to give the sales lady a face, and The other party also lives in this community, so he shouldn't cheat the residents of the community.

"Okay, I'll contact you right away!" The sales lady became even happier, and immediately called her boyfriend.His boyfriend was also very happy when he heard the news, he put down the phone and rushed to the sales office, and appeared in front of Baitang in less than 10 minutes.

"Ms. Bai, hello! My name is Lu Heng!" Lu Heng is about 28 years old, tall and tall, and looks more like an athlete than a designer.

"Hello!" Baitang shook hands with Lu Heng. After the two talked, they found that the house that Lu Heng bought was actually in the same building as the one that Baitang bought, and it was just one floor downstairs.

"This is really fate!" Lu Heng smiled, "I'll give you a [-]% discount!"

"Thank you so much!" Baitang also accepted with a smile, the two quickly signed the decoration contract, and Baitang said goodbye and left.

"I made a lot of money today, shall we celebrate tonight? I want to eat barbecue!" Bai Tang heard what the sales lady said to Lu Heng.

"No, I still have a party tonight, so you can find someone else to accompany you!" Lu Heng's tone was obviously perfunctory.

Baitang quickened his pace and left the two, it seems that the relationship between these two is not very harmonious!
The house was bought and the renovation started, so Baitang had time to handle the online store.It's easy to open an online store, but there are too many online stores, and Baitang didn't pay the promotion fee for the website, so her small store is hidden among the numerous stores.

"Tangtang, this can't work! Our store is not famous, and people don't come to our store. It's been more than half a month, and there is no business!" Wu Xuemei has resigned and stays at home every day to help Bai Tang manages a small shop.

"Sister Meimei, it's like this when opening a new store! Don't worry, all our products are high-quality goods, and they will definitely be sold." Said so, Baitang's heart was a little bit drummed, saying that the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, but In today's society, no one has time to go to the alleys to find drinks, right?Baitang considered whether to let the website take advantage of it and spend some money to advertise the shop.

Before she could make a decision, Wu Xuemei yelled excitedly: "Tangtang, we have a business!"

For the first business, the other party only ordered an embroidered handkerchief and a carved wooden dressing box.But these two items are already 3000 yuan-the things in the small shop are not cheap, which is the main reason why no one has been buying them.

"Hengdian Film and Television City?" Wu Xuemei wrote the recipient's address and guessed, "Which costume drama crew would not buy our things?"

"Maybe!" Baitang's eyes lit up, if he could really open up the line of costume drama crews, why would he worry about selling the things in his store in the future?I hope that the people who buy this time have discernment and can see that the things in their store are good.

The buyer is really discerning. A week after the item was sent out, the buyer placed another order.This time, he ordered ten embroidered handkerchiefs, ten wooden hairpins, sixteen nets and two dressing boxes at one go.
