Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

After the Lu family grain store opened, business was surprisingly good.

Gu Yunxi hadn't had time to invite the shopkeeper, so the grain shop shopkeeper's guys were all on top of her.

She was so busy all day long that Lu Jianchuan only had time to come over after afternoon to help her take care of things.

However, Lu Jianchuan's main purpose in coming to the capital was to study and prepare for the exams.

Gu Yunxi saw him coming again and again, thinking that it was nothing, so he told Mrs. Yuan about it.

Mrs. Yuan was worried about how to return Gu Yunxi's favor. When she heard Gu Yunxi complain, she took the initiative and said: "Yunxi, I have a suitable candidate to be the shopkeeper of your shop. Do you want to consider it?"

Gu Yunxi's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Master, please tell me?"

It turned out that the man Mrs. Yuan was talking about, whose surname was Fan, was a down-and-out civil servant who had participated in the imperial examination ten times and failed repeatedly.

That man had begged Yuan Shilang before, but Yuan Shilang gave him a chance and took him with him for a few days, but found that he was too rigid and did not know how to be flexible.

This is the root cause of the failure of such people in repeated examinations. Because of the imperial examination, all the money in the family was scattered, and the family was in a state of ruin.

It was only then that Fan Juren completely gave up, gave up on the examination, and concentrated on raising his own children.

Just to raise children, money is needed after all. Fan Juren knows that Yuan Shilang is a good person, and today he has asked the Yuan family again, hoping that Yuan Shilang can help him find a decent job that can support his family and raise his children.

Yuan Shilang also had a headache. What kind of work could he introduce to Fan Juren? That's why he told Mrs. Yuan about this matter, hoping that Mrs. Yuan could give some advice.

"Yunxi, I've met this man twice. Although he has a somewhat rigid personality, he is honest and reliable. If he is willing to be the shopkeeper of your grain shop, I think he will be a good helper."

Gu Yunxi hesitated a little and said: "But, Master, after all, I am also a juren. If a juren is asked to work as the shopkeeper of my small grain shop, will he be willing?"

In this era, the status of scholars is very high!

Not to mention being a scholar, even a scholar, even a child student, is praised and respected by others.

Although Fan Juren failed in many attempts, no matter what others said, she still wanted to be a small grain storekeeper. No matter how much she thought about it, she felt that they would not be willing to do so.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yuan shook her head: "The life in Fan Ju's family is almost unbearable. There are three children waiting for feeding."

"He was older and no longer obsessed with taking the exam. He was introduced to a wife and had three children. The eldest child is only five years old now."

"Fan Juren used to teach in an academy, but he was, alas, too rigid, so he was fired. Now their family relies on Fan Juren to copy books and his wife to help with laundry. "

"So he is anxious. If you ask him to be the shopkeeper of a grain store at this time, I think he will not only not be unhappy, but will even be grateful to you."

Mrs. Yuan's words made Gu Yunxi feel a little moved.

She thought for a while, the items in her grain store were all clearly marked, and if Fan Juren was willing to come, he could just sell them at the clearly marked prices, and there shouldn't be any problem.

Furthermore, since he is also a civil servant and is honest and reliable, he can feel more at ease and leave the shop to him to take care of, so that he can have more free time.

"Mother, I think it's okay. Could you please help me? If Fan Juren is willing to come, I'm willing to give him five taels of monthly silver. If the shop's profits are good, there will be bonus points."

Mrs. Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Oh, Yunxi, the monthly silver you give is quite high! And there are also such bonuses. Although I don't understand what you are talking about, but just listening to it makes me happy." It’s a good thing to know.”

"I'm going to send someone to help you ask."

Mrs. Yuan said, and immediately asked the maid to go to Fan Juren's house to talk about the matter.

Fan Juren agreed without hesitation.

The current job was a job that would save the lives of his family. He was not qualified to be picky.

Mrs. Yuan was very fast. Early the next morning, she asked the maid to take Fan Juren to the Lu family grain store.

Gu Yunxi was busy moving things when he saw Fan Juren coming. He quickly wiped his sweat and asked Fan Juren to sit down and talk.

Fan Juren was stunned. He never expected that his boss was actually a woman?

"This, Dong, my boss, I..." Fan Juren saw Gu Yunxi sitting opposite him and stood up hurriedly, a little panicked, for fear of offending Gu Yunxi.

Gu Yunxi also noticed it, smiled friendly at him, and said, "Fan Juren, don't be nervous. I'm a very easy-going person. You don't have to be restrained when talking to me."

"My husband's family name is Lu. Just let them call me Mrs. Lu."

As Gu Yunxi spoke, he pointed at the guys who were busy unloading the carriage.

She was really not used to it, and she didn't like it. She always felt like she was calling a man.

Perhaps Fan Juren sensed Gu Yunxi's kindness and became less reserved. He sat down and listened to Gu Yunxi's words, nodding from time to time.

Gu Yunxi added: "Look, our shop is so big. Every half a month, two trucks of grain will be transported from my hometown. When the goods are delivered, you only need to count and check the number, ask the guys to unload, and then arrange the goods." Just go to the fixed shelf.”

"The daily tasks, in addition to receiving guests, include taking stock of food every day, keeping accounts of transactions, collecting money, and checking accounts, etc."

"Fan Juren, do you think you can accept it? Can you do it? My wife should have told you that the monthly silver I will give you is five taels of silver. If you do it well, the shop will make good profits every day. I will also give extra bonuses to you and the store clerk every month.”

"Oh, you can understand the meaning of bonus as money. To put it simply, the better the profit of the shop, the more money you can get, not just the monthly silver."

"Besides, I may need you occasionally..."

Before Gu Yunxi could finish speaking, Fan Juren hurriedly responded: "Young Madam, I, I am willing!"

Gu Yunxi secretly observed it, saw the anxiety in Fan Juren's eyes, and thought that this man would also be moved. After all, although his work was a bit busier, his monthly salary was indeed high!

She smiled, feeling more confident, and continued: "Don't worry, just listen to me first."

"As you know, our grain store sells grain. Currently, the grain in the shop is shipped from my hometown. However, my hometown is too far away, and there are some grains that we don't have there."

"This requires you and the people in our shop to, when you have free time, look for grains and local products that are suitable for sale in the shop, and the source of the goods is preferably close, so that transportation is convenient and saves time and effort. ....."

Gu Yunxi's future plan for the Lu family grain store is to expand the categories of grain sold step by step and gradually make the grain store's business bigger and stronger.

Fan Juren couldn't help but admire him as he listened.
