Chapter 25 The First Pot of Gold
Father Chang, who had acted very calm just now, couldn't hold back and rolled his eyes, "What? You said that the imperial envoy also came to eat the food from our stall? You can't make a mistake, right? His kind from the capital The big man who came here, have you never eaten anything delicious, and you also care about our snacks?"
Second Wife Cao proudly said: "Father, this is true! When I first saw this little brother, I felt that he was different from other people, but I didn't expect it to be different! As expected of the person next to the nobleman, his style... tsk tsk, in short, it is not ordinary .This is what a big steward told us, it can't be wrong!"
"It's not necessarily that the imperial envoy wants to eat, maybe it's because my little brother is greedy to buy something for himself." Grandma Sun said.
"Mom, there's nothing wrong with this!"
Chang Xisheng couldn't bear the excitement in his heart, his voice trembled a little.Even high officials patronize their business, which shows that their products are really good!
"You don't know. At the beginning, the people who came to support our stalls were all the good ones in our village. They said that the food was delicious last time, and they kept thinking about it. They came here to reward themselves as soon as the money was distributed. Even The second uncle and the others also came, and I was scolded by him for not wanting to collect money. He said that it is a business, and we must pay. If we usually cook and eat at home, that is another matter."
Father Chang nodded when he heard this, and interjected: "Your second uncle is kind. Back then, there were so many girls in their family, and they were almost dying of poverty, so they wouldn't take advantage of us. Don't say that our family doesn't like you now. Dacheng, in the past when our family was good, he would not accept benefits, and he would pay back as much as he gave."
Uncle Chang gave birth to a series of daughters. Although Taoyuan Village is not very patriarchal, unlike other places where daughters are often strangled to death, they feel that they are losing money and don't want to bother.In Taoyuan Village, such a thing is strictly not allowed to happen, otherwise it will definitely be punished by the village rules.
This rule was established because there were far more male babies than female babies when they escaped from disaster.As a result, it is difficult for boys to marry a wife when they are adults. They can only open the village to contact the outside world and find a wife from other villages, so as not to cause major troubles.
When you are good, you still have money to give birth to a baby girl.
But even so, it would be laughed at if there were only daughters and no sons.
After all, this is the farming era, and men are more powerful than women in fighting. As far as farming is concerned, men have a greater innate advantage.Every time Uncle Chang's family went to spring plowing, the other brothers would go to help, otherwise they would be overwhelmed.Only a daughter without a son will be called an extinct household.
Although Uncle Chang didn't treat his daughters poorly because of this, he didn't behave like some people, and he never gave his wife a face.Not only did he not feel ashamed to hold his head up like others, but he was even tougher.I just want to prove to everyone that he can live a good life without a son, and he will never take advantage of others.Although Chun Geng accepts help from others, he will make up for it in other places.For example, the daughters of his family are all ingenious, and weaving is fast and good, so let the daughters help other families to do these things.
Mrs. Cao couldn't help but said, "Isn't that so, so we had to take his money. At first, I thought it would be a big deal to call him more, but he scolded me. He said I don't know how to do business. Pulling the hind legs, you even have to shake the extra back."
Everyone couldn't laugh or cry after listening to it. Chang Erbo sometimes cares about his temper and makes people a little unsure what to do.
Father Chang didn't know what kind of temper his second brother had. "In the future, if you want him to come back, he will act like others. He is not so serious, but he is afraid that others will be unhappy when they see it. After all, many people in our Taoyuan Village work there. Well, if we give it to him or not to others, it will make people think, but if we give too much, we will not lose business.
Although he has a fiery temper, he is careful.In the future, our family will help them more. My wife, you often take your daughters-in-law to his house to see if there is anything you need to help.The man in their family is not here, and the daughter is almost married again, so there must be a lot of work.Those two are both stubborn, unless it is really impossible, they would rather exhaust themselves than speak to others. "
Chang Xiwang was listening eagerly, and wanted to know how the business was going, and the matter of the imperial envoy, but he didn't expect to take the topic so far away, it made him anxious.
"Father, can't we talk about these things later, the second brother hasn't finished talking about the business yet!"
It was only then that everyone came to their senses and urged Chang Xisheng to continue talking.
Chang Xisheng vividly described the situation at that time, "At the beginning, our family's business was done to people in our village, and Shan Ziniang and I were still worried. But it didn't take long to attract many other people, saying that it was to see how well everyone ate. Shuang Kuai also wanted to try it, but he couldn’t stop trying it! Everyone said happily, saying that they would come back tomorrow. Those who couldn’t bear the money bought hot vegetables, soaked dry food in that soup, and squinted their eyes. .”
Everyone was very happy when they heard this. Although they knew that they were all sold out, they were also very happy to hear that scene.
Chang Xisheng was not in a hurry to continue. He took a sip of water and moistened his throat before continuing: "After everyone went to work, some senior managers were also attracted by the smell of food made by our family. At first they saw that It’s snails, and I don’t like it, but whoever made our food smell good and can seduce gluttons, so I bought it and tried it. Good guy, this one is so delicious, I just wrapped up the rest and said yes It’s okay after work in the evening, and they eat it with a small wine. I almost wanted to take away our casserole. If I hadn’t said that if they took it away today, we would not be able to make it tomorrow, then today is really a mess They were all sold."
There was a burst of laughter in the yard, and Grandma Sun laughed and burst into tears, "These big stewards are really funny, are they so greedy?"
Mrs. Cao said: "Mother, you don't know. Those big managers are all from the city. They eat and drink well on weekdays. Suddenly they come to such a place where there is nowhere to go. Like a hungry wolf. Who can live in low gear when we meet this pot of stuff!"
Chang Xiwang smacked his mouth, "As long as it tastes like this, let's put it in a big restaurant, it's also a signature dish!"
This is a bit exaggerated, but everyone loves to hear it, and they all agree.
"You have been talking for so long, why haven't you arrived at the imperial envoy yet?" Mrs. Wang asked anxiously.
Cao Ersao said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, this is the end of the story. By the way, our big pot of snails, pig's trotters and even the soup is sold out, but not many people care about tea eggs and vegetable sour. Tea eggs It’s a little bit better, it’s an egg anyway, and you can eat it. But the vegetables are not very sour, and no one noticed it at first. Although it’s delicious, it’s not enough to fill you up, and it’s not good to eat. It’s not as good as hot vegetables , so it hasn’t opened for a long time. My child’s father and I are a little anxious, and we are planning to give a little vegetable sour to anyone who buys tea eggs next time, as a bonus..."
When Grandma Sun heard this, she immediately jumped up, "How can this be done! The tea leaves, eggs and vegetable sour are both expensive! You can't lose money after such a toss! Hey, there is still time to count the money. If it doesn't work, I will count it now , If you lose money, see how I will punish you. You two are not reliable in your work, what kind of bad ideas are you thinking! You are not allowed to sell again in the future, otherwise this family will be defeated in a few days."
Seeing this, Chang Xile quickly stopped Grandma Sun, "Mother, don't worry, I came up with this idea."
Grandma Sun stopped immediately, "What? Your idea? Xiao Wu, you have been fooled, so I just say good things to your second brother and take everything on me. I don't know what kind of temper he is."
Chang Xisheng's face immediately turned a little ugly, and Second Aunt Cao felt sorry for her husband, but she was dragged by him and insisted on holding back, her breath got stuck in her throat.
Chang Xile's face darkened, "Mother, how can you talk like that, I really came up with this idea, how can you blame the second brother. Before the second brother left, I told him that if these things are not good For sale, we will set it up like this on the first day to let everyone know how delicious they are, and gradually people will come to buy them. Besides, if we really can’t sell them, we can’t eat so much ourselves, and we can sell them to everyone. good impression."
Grandma Sun immediately vented her anger, "Is it really what you thought?"
"There's nothing wrong with this."
Grandma Sun took a look at Chang Xisheng, gave a fake cough, and said in a nonchalant way, "Oh, since Xiao Wu thought it up, there shouldn't be any mistakes."
"Mother, before you figure it out, don't blindly wrong people, it hurts people's hearts." Chang Xile finally couldn't help saying.
"Hey, hey..." Grandma Sun nodded embarrassingly.
Chang Xile sighed, it was impossible for Mrs. Sun to apologize to the younger generation, so she could only talk to Chang Xisheng in private, hoping not to take it to heart.
No matter how nervous Chang Xiwang was, he could sense that the atmosphere was not right. He looked around and rolled his eyes, "Well, I haven't talked about the imperial envoy yet."
It was only then that Chang Xisheng came to his senses that after such a commotion, the couple lost interest.Second Sister-in-law Cao just kept her mouth shut, but Chang Xisheng couldn't be so capricious, but his mood was obviously much lower than before.
"The snails are gone, and it's time to go to work, so not many people came. Your second sister-in-law and I were a little anxious at the time, because we were afraid that these two things would not be sold. Unexpectedly, a little brother came over and saw only Tea eggs and sour vegetables were left. Although I was disappointed, I didn’t feel disgusted. I bought some and left. I didn’t expect that after a while, several managers came over and rounded up all the rest. I think it’s a bit Strange, it seemed like a discussion, so I just chatted with them. After asking, I found out that the little brother just now was the personal attendant of the imperial envoy.
The imperial envoy is in a bitter summer, and he usually doesn't think about food at this time, but he was assigned here again this year, and he hasn't eaten properly for many days due to the acclimatization of the climate.I got a deer leg before, and the cook cooked it well, but it didn't make him appetite.Unexpectedly, the imperial envoy felt a great appetite after eating the sour vegetables, so he ate two bowls of white rice porridge and two tea eggs.As soon as the chief officer, who has no appetite like the imperial envoy, came to buy it as soon as he heard the news, he tried to taste it on the spot, everyone liked it, and asked us to make these in the future. "
The more Chang Xisheng talked, the more excited he became, his whole body was beaming, and he forgot the unhappiness just now.
Everyone was very happy after listening to it. They didn't expect such good luck and smooth sailing.
Father Chang understood, and said: "Even adults like it, our business will definitely succeed. Now let's count the money and see how it goes."
Chang Xisheng took out the money bag, it was very heavy, and when it was poured out, there was a pile of it, and everyone's eyes widened.
Grandma Sun swallowed her saliva, "A lot of money!"
Chang Xile asked, "Second brother, no one will be embarrassed if we set up a stall there to sell things?"
Chang Xisheng said: "That's not true. It's just that at the beginning a manager came over and asked a few words. I gave him a plate of snails and a piece of pig's trotter, and he didn't care about us anymore. Later, he brought money and bought them again." A plate of snails and pig's trotters."
Chang Xile could probably guess that everything was definitely not going so smoothly, but Chang Xisheng was smart and able to deal with various situations, so he was the right person to do the business.
People who do this kind of business must have a thick skin, a clever mind, and a slippery mouth.
Chang Xisheng is shrewd, but what doesn't fit his shrewd personality is that he is not like some other shrewd people who can boast about doing something, but solves the matter silently, reporting good news but not bad news.However, such a person is more trustworthy, so as not to know what is true and what is false, and always exaggerate things so that people will be misled.
It's just that the sense of existence is weaker in this way, and Grandma Sun obviously looks down on Chang Xisheng.
The eldest brother, Chang Xixing, is the grandma's first son, so he will love him naturally. The third child, Chang Xiwang, has a blatant temper. He likes to seek benefits for his own family, which makes the two elders a little displeased.
Probably because of their different standpoints, Chang Xile felt that Chang Xisheng's small thoughts were normal, and it was not something too extreme and should not be discriminated against.
Everyone got started together, and the copper coins were quickly counted. There are three consecutive 520 three coins in total. After deducting the cost, I earned 150 four coins in one day!
"So many!"
Everyone exclaimed, if there are more than one day, then there will be no more than 30 times in a month!Wouldn't it be possible to pay off the debt in two months?This business is really easy to do!Thinking that Chang Xixing could earn [-] Wen a month by digging canals, they all thought it was a lot, this was one day!
Everyone couldn't believe it, and Mrs. Sun said, "Who did the wrong count? How could it be possible to earn so much in a day! If earning money is so easy, why do you plant land?"
Everyone also began to doubt themselves, especially Mrs. Wang, who always felt that she was stupid and might report a mistake by accident.
Father Chang saw that everyone wanted to count again, and stopped him: "That's right, it's this number, I just kept staring at it."
Even Papa Chang spoke up, and everyone no longer doubted it, but they still couldn't believe it.
Chang Xisheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw so much money, and couldn't hide his satisfaction, "We didn't do much today, and many people rushed over after hearing the news, but they were annoyed when they saw nothing. They all yelled Let's make more tomorrow, especially the snails, and have a good night with wine. I think we can make more from tomorrow. Even the imperial envoys will eat our food. I'm sure a group of people will follow suit. Let's have more It can be sold twice.”
Grandma Sun was still a little dizzy, "Take it easy! This first day, who knows what will happen in the future. If the business is so good, why do I think those small businesses in the city are having a hard time?"
Chang Xile said with a smile: "Mother, that's because we are taking advantage of this business. You don't need to pay booth fees, taxes, etc., and the snails, vegetables, and rice noodles are all made by yourself. If the cost is lowered, you can make a lot of money if you want. It is an exclusive business with many customers. Besides, it is easier to make money in the city than us, but the expenses are also high, so there is not much money left over, and it looks a bit shabby, but it is better than ordinary farmers, otherwise, what a person Everyone wants to squeeze into the city?"
This principle is the same as those ghost stalls in the previous life. Don’t look like small merchants and hawkers who walk around the streets and run away when they see the urban management are very embarrassed. It's a lot.
Father Chang nodded, "That's the reason. But it's only the first day now, so it doesn't matter what will happen in the future. The money has just been distributed. Maybe it's just a fresh meal. Isn't there a lot of people from our village to join us? It’s hard to say how the business is doing.”
Hearing this, Chang Xisheng also felt that it made sense, and immediately calmed down, "Then how much should we do tomorrow?"
Father Chang thought for a while and said, "It's probably [-]% more than today's figure. For the next few days, we will temporarily set this figure, and then we will decide it according to the situation."
"Fifth brother, those people like pig's trotters very much, will it be possible to replace it with chicken tomorrow?" Chang Xisheng worried.
Pig's trotters can only be bought when going to the county or neighboring villages to go to the market. The county is too far away, and the market is not available every day. This thing must be fresh, so the pig's trotters can only be changed to chicken and duck.Originally, everyone had no opinion on Chang Xile's idea of replacing pig's trotters with other meats, and thought they were all the same, but today Chang Xisheng saw a group of people who spoke highly of pig's trotters, and couldn't help but feel worried.
In order to save costs, they were reluctant to give it a try, so they could only trust Chang Xile unconditionally.
Speaking of this matter, Chang Xile was very ashamed. He didn't turn his mind around for a while, and did something unrealistic as soon as he came.He used to like to eat snail and pig's feet stew, so he remembered this when he made it for the first time.I also thought that pig's trotters are cheaper than chickens and ducks, and I forgot that it is not convenient for them to buy pig's trotters.
"Second brother, don't worry, although the taste is different, it's still delicious."
Sister-in-law Wang stood aside and hesitated to speak, but she dared not speak. Second-sister-in-law Cao couldn't help but push her, "Sister-in-law, say whatever you want to say, and hide it so that everyone is anxious."
"Uncle, then I guess I have to trouble you to tell us how to make it. We're afraid we won't be able to do it well if we replace it with chicken."
While talking, Mrs. Wang kept secretly looking at Mrs. Sun, for fear that she would get angry.
Grandma Sun didn't want Chang Xile to sit around the stove all the time, so she kept beating them all the time to learn this skill.Especially when I started to do it yesterday, my eyes almost popped out, and I could chatter for a long time if I made a mistake.But aside from this, if something is spoiled, it will not only waste the ingredients, but also ruin tomorrow's business.
Chang Xile understood Mrs. Wang's thoughts, and he was also helpless towards Mrs. Sun.Although she kept adjusting in the middle, Mrs. Sun couldn't keep her mouth shut when she responded.
So while Mrs. Sun didn't open her mouth, she quickly said: "This is what it should be. I will watch it this month. Sister-in-law doesn't need to worry. This business is the top priority of our family now. I owed so much money because of my illness before. Farming is enough Not sure yet."
Grandma Sun originally wanted to reprimand Mrs. Wang, but she didn't say anything when she heard this.The money directly stimulated her today, and she paid much more attention to this business than before.Although she felt distressed and was very happy, if the money was not paid back, she would not be able to sleep well at night.
Grandma Sun couldn't help wiping away her tears, "Son, it's useless for you to suffer so much because of your parents."
Chang Xile sighed, "Mom, look at what you said. I'm not part of this family anymore? Besides, I don't do any heavy work. Who else has more time for me in our family besides Niu Niu? Don't tell me I’m a scholar. I’m a scholar. Didn’t my parents and brothers and sisters-in-law raise me with blood and sweat? No matter how hard I am, I’m not as hard as you. Mother, let your son do something for this family. I’ll be a scholar. Don't you just want to make the family better, how do you let me deal with myself?"
These words were a bit heavy for Grandma Sun, Yuanshen didn't know how to say such words, and Chang Xile didn't know how to say them before.But Mrs. Sun always praised him as being different from the rest of the family, which was very detrimental to unity.Even if the brothers don't say anything, what about the next generation?Even though the child is young, his heart is like a mirror, so there will be no complaints by then?Even if not, the feelings will definitely become rusty gradually.
If the family is restless, it will not be able to prosper. He doesn't want the family to be unstable before he starts to get rich.
Grandma Sun was a little dazed, "Son, mother, mother is also..."
"Mother, I know you love me, but it's not the way you love me."
Grandma Sun froze in place, completely unaware that her best son would say such a thing. Although his words were polite, he accused her every word.She was obviously doing it for his own good, so how could she have such an attitude.And in front of the big guys, this, this...
The room fell completely silent, no one thought that Chang Xile would say such a thing, and felt that Mrs. Sun spoiled herself too much.For a while, everyone didn't know what to say, and if Chang Xixing was here, they would make things right.Now there are only Chang Xisheng and Chang Xiwang. Grandma Sun doesn't like to hear what the former says, and the latter can't speak.
At this time, Father Chang spoke, his tone was neither salty nor weak, and he couldn't tell any attitude, "Your mother is also doing it for your own good. You really hurt her heart by saying that."
"Father, mother, I know that you are all for my own good. I didn't blame anyone for what I said just now. I don't have the qualifications. I just hope that I can participate in family affairs like everyone else. Besides, I am a father and mother. My children, brothers and sisters-in-law too, why can't I do what they can do?
Obviously I can do this cooking, but it was my idea. It’s not a big deal to take more time to teach my sister-in-law, why can’t I do it, I’m not so delicate yet.Besides, during this period of time, I will not be bothered to do it if I am asked to do it in the future.Mother, you don't blame me for being serious just now, do you? "
Grandma Sun quickly said: "No, no, why would Mother blame you?"
Chang Xi was happy to see Mrs. Sun like this, and knew that it would be very difficult to change Mrs. Sun's thinking, but at least he showed his attitude, and he would pay more attention to things in the future, so that his brothers and sisters-in-law could feel more balanced.
"Xiao Wu's words are right, old lady, don't say any more inappropriate things in the future, if our family wants to live well, we have to form a tight bond."
It's even harder for Mrs. Sun to say anything even if Father Chang speaks like this.It's just that I lost face in front of the big guys today, and I always feel a little ashamed and flustered.
"Mother, don't worry so much in the future. If this business is completed, we will not be so tight in the future, and we don't need to worry about you thinking so much for us. The children in the family have grown up. They are all smart, they can go to school and study if they have money, maybe they will be more promising than me, let us add a champion!"
Chang Xile can also be taught. He has been teaching Yang Zi, Xing'er, and Shan Zi how to read these days, because these three children are currently the only ones who are still young and don't need to do too much work, and have some free time.Only when the family has money and can go to work without child labor, can they study and write seriously, and have spare money to buy books, paper, ink, pens and inkstones.
Grandma Sun was taken aback, "Go to school! Who will do the housework and how much it will cost! They are not like you, so they can't waste the money."
The eyes of the people in the other rooms lit up when they heard Chang Xile's words, but before they had time to think about it, their enthusiasm was extinguished by Mrs. Sun.
It is not easy for an ordinary family to raise a scholar, as you can see from Chang Xile's offerings over the years.Although Grandma Sun's words were not pleasant, none of them dared to say that their child was smarter than Chang Xile, nor did they have the confidence to do so.
"Mother, you can't say that. We don't have any money. If the business can be so good, we still have some money. We're not saying that children must take scientific exams, but just learn some principles. At least don't be blind, you can't even understand the notices. And you can learn to calculate accounts and so on, which are very useful. Besides, I will teach when the time comes, and I will teach for half a day every day, without delaying anything .If anyone is smart, send them to the county. If you can’t read well, knowing a few words is not a loss.”
The business has just started, so it seems a little early to say these words, but Chang Xile wants to give the brothers and sisters-in-law a direction, so that they can push forward even harder.Otherwise, if the goal is too low, it will be too easy to be satisfied, and other problems will soon arise.
Sure enough, as soon as these words fell, the expressions of the brothers and sisters-in-law changed.
Although Chang Xile's future was ruined because of the injury, he was different from others because of his reputation.Not only can you be exempted from tax and corvee, but you can also get rice, and with your identity there, other people dare not bully you at will.Maybe you can't live a rich life, but as long as you save a little, you won't be hungry.
It's not like those mud-legged people who depend on the sky for their food. If one of them is not lucky, he may have to sell his children and daughters, and it is very hard.It doesn't look like Chang Xile, who is well-raised and clean, anyone who looks at him and the other brothers thinks that they are not from the same family.
They can suffer by themselves, they are used to it anyway, but who wants their children to do the same?Especially for those with daughters, if the elder brother can get a good grade in the exam, he will not be afraid of being bullied at his in-law's house in the future!
Even if their children don't pass the exam, they won't suffer if they know a few words, and it would be great to work as an accountant in the city in the future.
"Xi Le is right. Our family is able to read and write, and our daughter must also learn. I used to go out, but I suffered enough from being illiterate. But now I can't rush, I have to let the family slow down before talking. In your heart If you know what to do, you can do it." Father Chang said.
Everyone felt even more at ease when they heard this, even Chang Xiwang, whose nervous daughter was less than one year old, was overjoyed.
Grandma Sun said awkwardly: "I didn't say that reading and literacy is not good. Isn't it because I am afraid of having no money?"
This topic stopped here, but Chang Xile was worried about another thing.
"If our family does business like this every day, will the snails be enough?"
He has been entangled in various things since he crossed, and he hasn't been to many places, but he heard from Shanzi that there are many places where he can't finish picking snails.But the kid didn't know what to do, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried.According to this situation, they will consume dozens of catties of snails a day, and they don't know whether this small place can afford it.
Second Sister-in-law Cao said: "Uncle, don't worry, there are many places with this stuff, and it's a big basket if you pick it up. It's not easy to clean up, even if you eat it yourself, you won't be able to eat much, and no one will snatch it from us—unless There are people out there who want to do the same business as us."
"Probably not, no one in our village will compete with us for business, and not everyone can do this well." Mrs. Wang said so, but she was also very worried.
Father Chang said: "Business is so easy to do. It's not like you don't know how to clean up the snails in our village. You don't have to worry about it. It's just that it's done well. It's okay for some people to be jealous, but people are jealous and don't do it. ? That’s not the case. But you also have to restrain yourself a little bit, don’t turn your ass up after earning some money, don’t blame others for looking down on you.”
Everyone said in unison: "Father, we won't."
Father Chang instructed again: "You also take care of your own children, don't keep your mouth shut and talk nonsense."
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Cao hurriedly reprimanded their children to stop yelling. Except for the youngest Niu Niu, the other children understood and nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
"Father, it's hard for our family to support this business. For example, our pickles, vegetables, etc., according to this situation, can't last for a few more days. I visited several uncles' homes, and there is not much in stock.
I don't think it's better than this. In the future, we will tell the village that we collect snails, vegetables, chickens, ducks, and eggs.Everyone earns money together, so that we always grab things from the village, and no one will say anything.After a while, when the cornus is ripe, they can also let them pick it, and we will pay for it.That thing is the most troublesome, and it must find a lot of people to make it.Although we earn less in this way, it is also a lot easier.Otherwise, it would take a long time to fiddle with the snails alone, the land at home would have to be busy, and manpower would have to be allocated to do business, and it would definitely not be possible. "
This is not the first time Chang Xile said this, but before the money was not earned, everyone must have planned to pay for it first.But seeing the result now, it is more acceptable.Although it may seem like a small thing to clean up these things, there is still a lot of work to be done, which takes a lot of manpower and time.
Especially from today onwards, a room of people has to be allocated to do business, and one is on the construction site, so the number of people in the family has decreased a lot.The usual work is busy enough, and now such a major event is added, it will definitely be overwhelmed.
Father Chang pondered for a moment, and said: "Your words are also reasonable. Although there are things in the village like snails and dogwood, whoever wants to eat them can just fish them by themselves, but if they use them for business and sell them for money, everyone will definitely have them." Opinion. After all, we are exchanging things in the village for ourselves, and it is logically difficult. Then it depends on how the business is going in the past few days. If it can be stable as it is today, I will talk to Lizheng."
The next day, Chang Xisheng's family came back earlier than before, and the things were also sold out.Chang Xisheng's family was flushed, and they were even more excited than yesterday.
It turned out that after the first day, everyone knew that this food tasted good, and everyone passed it on, especially since everyone knew that the imperial envoys liked the food from their stall, and they wanted to taste what it tasted, which made the imperial envoys applaud!Especially those big stewards and general managers are the most generous. Once you buy several copies, they are all sold out at once.
Chang Xisheng and the others also complained, saying that since they are in business, they don't know how to do more. Isn't this intentionally greedy?
When everyone heard the news, they were immediately overjoyed.
Chang Xisheng said excitedly: "Although our things are not cheap, they can't hold our goods well. There are more people with spare money there! Those managers said that someone bought it yesterday and ate with wine at night, it's like a fairy The vegetable sour and tea eggs that were not paid attention to yesterday were all robbed of my stall today. Everyone wants to taste what the imperial envoy likes to eat. Oh, yes, today the imperial envoy Your lord's servant also came, and packed away all the snail noodles and pig's trotters."
Everyone became happy when they heard this, and said that their business was good, all thanks to the blessing of the imperial envoy.
After confirming the payment of wages and knowing that the managers there are very talkative, everyone has a good impression of the imperial envoy, and the number of people on the construction site has increased sharply in the second month.I heard that if so many people can be kept, the fortifications in this section can be completed early.
Chang Xile also laughed secretly, this imperial envoy is a live advertisement for free!
Papa Chang made a decision immediately and doubled the amount for the next day.As a result, they were all sold out quickly, and it was still not enough.
There are too many people gathered there, and they are all men who can eat but can't hide money. Seeing that others are full of food and bragging about it, I want to try it myself.Especially when the money is paid, everyone is determined, and they always feel that they can still get [-] Wen for a month, and they all feel confident and generous.
Besides, the work of digging the river channel is really hard. Although there is dry food, there is not enough oil and water, and I will be hungry after a while.Buy these things to eat, not only taste good but also full!
Father Chang gritted his teeth and doubled the amount, but to his surprise, it was still not enough!
Chang Xisheng was about to cry, the business was good, but it was a worry, mainly because there were still a group of people who couldn't buy it, and he couldn't earn the money, so he was so annoyed in his heart, he wished he could conjure it up on the spot.
"Father, we have to at least double the amount tomorrow, no, twice!"
Second Wife Cao proudly said: "Father, this is true! When I first saw this little brother, I felt that he was different from other people, but I didn't expect it to be different! As expected of the person next to the nobleman, his style... tsk tsk, in short, it is not ordinary .This is what a big steward told us, it can't be wrong!"
"It's not necessarily that the imperial envoy wants to eat, maybe it's because my little brother is greedy to buy something for himself." Grandma Sun said.
"Mom, there's nothing wrong with this!"
Chang Xisheng couldn't bear the excitement in his heart, his voice trembled a little.Even high officials patronize their business, which shows that their products are really good!
"You don't know. At the beginning, the people who came to support our stalls were all the good ones in our village. They said that the food was delicious last time, and they kept thinking about it. They came here to reward themselves as soon as the money was distributed. Even The second uncle and the others also came, and I was scolded by him for not wanting to collect money. He said that it is a business, and we must pay. If we usually cook and eat at home, that is another matter."
Father Chang nodded when he heard this, and interjected: "Your second uncle is kind. Back then, there were so many girls in their family, and they were almost dying of poverty, so they wouldn't take advantage of us. Don't say that our family doesn't like you now. Dacheng, in the past when our family was good, he would not accept benefits, and he would pay back as much as he gave."
Uncle Chang gave birth to a series of daughters. Although Taoyuan Village is not very patriarchal, unlike other places where daughters are often strangled to death, they feel that they are losing money and don't want to bother.In Taoyuan Village, such a thing is strictly not allowed to happen, otherwise it will definitely be punished by the village rules.
This rule was established because there were far more male babies than female babies when they escaped from disaster.As a result, it is difficult for boys to marry a wife when they are adults. They can only open the village to contact the outside world and find a wife from other villages, so as not to cause major troubles.
When you are good, you still have money to give birth to a baby girl.
But even so, it would be laughed at if there were only daughters and no sons.
After all, this is the farming era, and men are more powerful than women in fighting. As far as farming is concerned, men have a greater innate advantage.Every time Uncle Chang's family went to spring plowing, the other brothers would go to help, otherwise they would be overwhelmed.Only a daughter without a son will be called an extinct household.
Although Uncle Chang didn't treat his daughters poorly because of this, he didn't behave like some people, and he never gave his wife a face.Not only did he not feel ashamed to hold his head up like others, but he was even tougher.I just want to prove to everyone that he can live a good life without a son, and he will never take advantage of others.Although Chun Geng accepts help from others, he will make up for it in other places.For example, the daughters of his family are all ingenious, and weaving is fast and good, so let the daughters help other families to do these things.
Mrs. Cao couldn't help but said, "Isn't that so, so we had to take his money. At first, I thought it would be a big deal to call him more, but he scolded me. He said I don't know how to do business. Pulling the hind legs, you even have to shake the extra back."
Everyone couldn't laugh or cry after listening to it. Chang Erbo sometimes cares about his temper and makes people a little unsure what to do.
Father Chang didn't know what kind of temper his second brother had. "In the future, if you want him to come back, he will act like others. He is not so serious, but he is afraid that others will be unhappy when they see it. After all, many people in our Taoyuan Village work there. Well, if we give it to him or not to others, it will make people think, but if we give too much, we will not lose business.
Although he has a fiery temper, he is careful.In the future, our family will help them more. My wife, you often take your daughters-in-law to his house to see if there is anything you need to help.The man in their family is not here, and the daughter is almost married again, so there must be a lot of work.Those two are both stubborn, unless it is really impossible, they would rather exhaust themselves than speak to others. "
Chang Xiwang was listening eagerly, and wanted to know how the business was going, and the matter of the imperial envoy, but he didn't expect to take the topic so far away, it made him anxious.
"Father, can't we talk about these things later, the second brother hasn't finished talking about the business yet!"
It was only then that everyone came to their senses and urged Chang Xisheng to continue talking.
Chang Xisheng vividly described the situation at that time, "At the beginning, our family's business was done to people in our village, and Shan Ziniang and I were still worried. But it didn't take long to attract many other people, saying that it was to see how well everyone ate. Shuang Kuai also wanted to try it, but he couldn’t stop trying it! Everyone said happily, saying that they would come back tomorrow. Those who couldn’t bear the money bought hot vegetables, soaked dry food in that soup, and squinted their eyes. .”
Everyone was very happy when they heard this. Although they knew that they were all sold out, they were also very happy to hear that scene.
Chang Xisheng was not in a hurry to continue. He took a sip of water and moistened his throat before continuing: "After everyone went to work, some senior managers were also attracted by the smell of food made by our family. At first they saw that It’s snails, and I don’t like it, but whoever made our food smell good and can seduce gluttons, so I bought it and tried it. Good guy, this one is so delicious, I just wrapped up the rest and said yes It’s okay after work in the evening, and they eat it with a small wine. I almost wanted to take away our casserole. If I hadn’t said that if they took it away today, we would not be able to make it tomorrow, then today is really a mess They were all sold."
There was a burst of laughter in the yard, and Grandma Sun laughed and burst into tears, "These big stewards are really funny, are they so greedy?"
Mrs. Cao said: "Mother, you don't know. Those big managers are all from the city. They eat and drink well on weekdays. Suddenly they come to such a place where there is nowhere to go. Like a hungry wolf. Who can live in low gear when we meet this pot of stuff!"
Chang Xiwang smacked his mouth, "As long as it tastes like this, let's put it in a big restaurant, it's also a signature dish!"
This is a bit exaggerated, but everyone loves to hear it, and they all agree.
"You have been talking for so long, why haven't you arrived at the imperial envoy yet?" Mrs. Wang asked anxiously.
Cao Ersao said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, this is the end of the story. By the way, our big pot of snails, pig's trotters and even the soup is sold out, but not many people care about tea eggs and vegetable sour. Tea eggs It’s a little bit better, it’s an egg anyway, and you can eat it. But the vegetables are not very sour, and no one noticed it at first. Although it’s delicious, it’s not enough to fill you up, and it’s not good to eat. It’s not as good as hot vegetables , so it hasn’t opened for a long time. My child’s father and I are a little anxious, and we are planning to give a little vegetable sour to anyone who buys tea eggs next time, as a bonus..."
When Grandma Sun heard this, she immediately jumped up, "How can this be done! The tea leaves, eggs and vegetable sour are both expensive! You can't lose money after such a toss! Hey, there is still time to count the money. If it doesn't work, I will count it now , If you lose money, see how I will punish you. You two are not reliable in your work, what kind of bad ideas are you thinking! You are not allowed to sell again in the future, otherwise this family will be defeated in a few days."
Seeing this, Chang Xile quickly stopped Grandma Sun, "Mother, don't worry, I came up with this idea."
Grandma Sun stopped immediately, "What? Your idea? Xiao Wu, you have been fooled, so I just say good things to your second brother and take everything on me. I don't know what kind of temper he is."
Chang Xisheng's face immediately turned a little ugly, and Second Aunt Cao felt sorry for her husband, but she was dragged by him and insisted on holding back, her breath got stuck in her throat.
Chang Xile's face darkened, "Mother, how can you talk like that, I really came up with this idea, how can you blame the second brother. Before the second brother left, I told him that if these things are not good For sale, we will set it up like this on the first day to let everyone know how delicious they are, and gradually people will come to buy them. Besides, if we really can’t sell them, we can’t eat so much ourselves, and we can sell them to everyone. good impression."
Grandma Sun immediately vented her anger, "Is it really what you thought?"
"There's nothing wrong with this."
Grandma Sun took a look at Chang Xisheng, gave a fake cough, and said in a nonchalant way, "Oh, since Xiao Wu thought it up, there shouldn't be any mistakes."
"Mother, before you figure it out, don't blindly wrong people, it hurts people's hearts." Chang Xile finally couldn't help saying.
"Hey, hey..." Grandma Sun nodded embarrassingly.
Chang Xile sighed, it was impossible for Mrs. Sun to apologize to the younger generation, so she could only talk to Chang Xisheng in private, hoping not to take it to heart.
No matter how nervous Chang Xiwang was, he could sense that the atmosphere was not right. He looked around and rolled his eyes, "Well, I haven't talked about the imperial envoy yet."
It was only then that Chang Xisheng came to his senses that after such a commotion, the couple lost interest.Second Sister-in-law Cao just kept her mouth shut, but Chang Xisheng couldn't be so capricious, but his mood was obviously much lower than before.
"The snails are gone, and it's time to go to work, so not many people came. Your second sister-in-law and I were a little anxious at the time, because we were afraid that these two things would not be sold. Unexpectedly, a little brother came over and saw only Tea eggs and sour vegetables were left. Although I was disappointed, I didn’t feel disgusted. I bought some and left. I didn’t expect that after a while, several managers came over and rounded up all the rest. I think it’s a bit Strange, it seemed like a discussion, so I just chatted with them. After asking, I found out that the little brother just now was the personal attendant of the imperial envoy.
The imperial envoy is in a bitter summer, and he usually doesn't think about food at this time, but he was assigned here again this year, and he hasn't eaten properly for many days due to the acclimatization of the climate.I got a deer leg before, and the cook cooked it well, but it didn't make him appetite.Unexpectedly, the imperial envoy felt a great appetite after eating the sour vegetables, so he ate two bowls of white rice porridge and two tea eggs.As soon as the chief officer, who has no appetite like the imperial envoy, came to buy it as soon as he heard the news, he tried to taste it on the spot, everyone liked it, and asked us to make these in the future. "
The more Chang Xisheng talked, the more excited he became, his whole body was beaming, and he forgot the unhappiness just now.
Everyone was very happy after listening to it. They didn't expect such good luck and smooth sailing.
Father Chang understood, and said: "Even adults like it, our business will definitely succeed. Now let's count the money and see how it goes."
Chang Xisheng took out the money bag, it was very heavy, and when it was poured out, there was a pile of it, and everyone's eyes widened.
Grandma Sun swallowed her saliva, "A lot of money!"
Chang Xile asked, "Second brother, no one will be embarrassed if we set up a stall there to sell things?"
Chang Xisheng said: "That's not true. It's just that at the beginning a manager came over and asked a few words. I gave him a plate of snails and a piece of pig's trotter, and he didn't care about us anymore. Later, he brought money and bought them again." A plate of snails and pig's trotters."
Chang Xile could probably guess that everything was definitely not going so smoothly, but Chang Xisheng was smart and able to deal with various situations, so he was the right person to do the business.
People who do this kind of business must have a thick skin, a clever mind, and a slippery mouth.
Chang Xisheng is shrewd, but what doesn't fit his shrewd personality is that he is not like some other shrewd people who can boast about doing something, but solves the matter silently, reporting good news but not bad news.However, such a person is more trustworthy, so as not to know what is true and what is false, and always exaggerate things so that people will be misled.
It's just that the sense of existence is weaker in this way, and Grandma Sun obviously looks down on Chang Xisheng.
The eldest brother, Chang Xixing, is the grandma's first son, so he will love him naturally. The third child, Chang Xiwang, has a blatant temper. He likes to seek benefits for his own family, which makes the two elders a little displeased.
Probably because of their different standpoints, Chang Xile felt that Chang Xisheng's small thoughts were normal, and it was not something too extreme and should not be discriminated against.
Everyone got started together, and the copper coins were quickly counted. There are three consecutive 520 three coins in total. After deducting the cost, I earned 150 four coins in one day!
"So many!"
Everyone exclaimed, if there are more than one day, then there will be no more than 30 times in a month!Wouldn't it be possible to pay off the debt in two months?This business is really easy to do!Thinking that Chang Xixing could earn [-] Wen a month by digging canals, they all thought it was a lot, this was one day!
Everyone couldn't believe it, and Mrs. Sun said, "Who did the wrong count? How could it be possible to earn so much in a day! If earning money is so easy, why do you plant land?"
Everyone also began to doubt themselves, especially Mrs. Wang, who always felt that she was stupid and might report a mistake by accident.
Father Chang saw that everyone wanted to count again, and stopped him: "That's right, it's this number, I just kept staring at it."
Even Papa Chang spoke up, and everyone no longer doubted it, but they still couldn't believe it.
Chang Xisheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw so much money, and couldn't hide his satisfaction, "We didn't do much today, and many people rushed over after hearing the news, but they were annoyed when they saw nothing. They all yelled Let's make more tomorrow, especially the snails, and have a good night with wine. I think we can make more from tomorrow. Even the imperial envoys will eat our food. I'm sure a group of people will follow suit. Let's have more It can be sold twice.”
Grandma Sun was still a little dizzy, "Take it easy! This first day, who knows what will happen in the future. If the business is so good, why do I think those small businesses in the city are having a hard time?"
Chang Xile said with a smile: "Mother, that's because we are taking advantage of this business. You don't need to pay booth fees, taxes, etc., and the snails, vegetables, and rice noodles are all made by yourself. If the cost is lowered, you can make a lot of money if you want. It is an exclusive business with many customers. Besides, it is easier to make money in the city than us, but the expenses are also high, so there is not much money left over, and it looks a bit shabby, but it is better than ordinary farmers, otherwise, what a person Everyone wants to squeeze into the city?"
This principle is the same as those ghost stalls in the previous life. Don’t look like small merchants and hawkers who walk around the streets and run away when they see the urban management are very embarrassed. It's a lot.
Father Chang nodded, "That's the reason. But it's only the first day now, so it doesn't matter what will happen in the future. The money has just been distributed. Maybe it's just a fresh meal. Isn't there a lot of people from our village to join us? It’s hard to say how the business is doing.”
Hearing this, Chang Xisheng also felt that it made sense, and immediately calmed down, "Then how much should we do tomorrow?"
Father Chang thought for a while and said, "It's probably [-]% more than today's figure. For the next few days, we will temporarily set this figure, and then we will decide it according to the situation."
"Fifth brother, those people like pig's trotters very much, will it be possible to replace it with chicken tomorrow?" Chang Xisheng worried.
Pig's trotters can only be bought when going to the county or neighboring villages to go to the market. The county is too far away, and the market is not available every day. This thing must be fresh, so the pig's trotters can only be changed to chicken and duck.Originally, everyone had no opinion on Chang Xile's idea of replacing pig's trotters with other meats, and thought they were all the same, but today Chang Xisheng saw a group of people who spoke highly of pig's trotters, and couldn't help but feel worried.
In order to save costs, they were reluctant to give it a try, so they could only trust Chang Xile unconditionally.
Speaking of this matter, Chang Xile was very ashamed. He didn't turn his mind around for a while, and did something unrealistic as soon as he came.He used to like to eat snail and pig's feet stew, so he remembered this when he made it for the first time.I also thought that pig's trotters are cheaper than chickens and ducks, and I forgot that it is not convenient for them to buy pig's trotters.
"Second brother, don't worry, although the taste is different, it's still delicious."
Sister-in-law Wang stood aside and hesitated to speak, but she dared not speak. Second-sister-in-law Cao couldn't help but push her, "Sister-in-law, say whatever you want to say, and hide it so that everyone is anxious."
"Uncle, then I guess I have to trouble you to tell us how to make it. We're afraid we won't be able to do it well if we replace it with chicken."
While talking, Mrs. Wang kept secretly looking at Mrs. Sun, for fear that she would get angry.
Grandma Sun didn't want Chang Xile to sit around the stove all the time, so she kept beating them all the time to learn this skill.Especially when I started to do it yesterday, my eyes almost popped out, and I could chatter for a long time if I made a mistake.But aside from this, if something is spoiled, it will not only waste the ingredients, but also ruin tomorrow's business.
Chang Xile understood Mrs. Wang's thoughts, and he was also helpless towards Mrs. Sun.Although she kept adjusting in the middle, Mrs. Sun couldn't keep her mouth shut when she responded.
So while Mrs. Sun didn't open her mouth, she quickly said: "This is what it should be. I will watch it this month. Sister-in-law doesn't need to worry. This business is the top priority of our family now. I owed so much money because of my illness before. Farming is enough Not sure yet."
Grandma Sun originally wanted to reprimand Mrs. Wang, but she didn't say anything when she heard this.The money directly stimulated her today, and she paid much more attention to this business than before.Although she felt distressed and was very happy, if the money was not paid back, she would not be able to sleep well at night.
Grandma Sun couldn't help wiping away her tears, "Son, it's useless for you to suffer so much because of your parents."
Chang Xile sighed, "Mom, look at what you said. I'm not part of this family anymore? Besides, I don't do any heavy work. Who else has more time for me in our family besides Niu Niu? Don't tell me I’m a scholar. I’m a scholar. Didn’t my parents and brothers and sisters-in-law raise me with blood and sweat? No matter how hard I am, I’m not as hard as you. Mother, let your son do something for this family. I’ll be a scholar. Don't you just want to make the family better, how do you let me deal with myself?"
These words were a bit heavy for Grandma Sun, Yuanshen didn't know how to say such words, and Chang Xile didn't know how to say them before.But Mrs. Sun always praised him as being different from the rest of the family, which was very detrimental to unity.Even if the brothers don't say anything, what about the next generation?Even though the child is young, his heart is like a mirror, so there will be no complaints by then?Even if not, the feelings will definitely become rusty gradually.
If the family is restless, it will not be able to prosper. He doesn't want the family to be unstable before he starts to get rich.
Grandma Sun was a little dazed, "Son, mother, mother is also..."
"Mother, I know you love me, but it's not the way you love me."
Grandma Sun froze in place, completely unaware that her best son would say such a thing. Although his words were polite, he accused her every word.She was obviously doing it for his own good, so how could she have such an attitude.And in front of the big guys, this, this...
The room fell completely silent, no one thought that Chang Xile would say such a thing, and felt that Mrs. Sun spoiled herself too much.For a while, everyone didn't know what to say, and if Chang Xixing was here, they would make things right.Now there are only Chang Xisheng and Chang Xiwang. Grandma Sun doesn't like to hear what the former says, and the latter can't speak.
At this time, Father Chang spoke, his tone was neither salty nor weak, and he couldn't tell any attitude, "Your mother is also doing it for your own good. You really hurt her heart by saying that."
"Father, mother, I know that you are all for my own good. I didn't blame anyone for what I said just now. I don't have the qualifications. I just hope that I can participate in family affairs like everyone else. Besides, I am a father and mother. My children, brothers and sisters-in-law too, why can't I do what they can do?
Obviously I can do this cooking, but it was my idea. It’s not a big deal to take more time to teach my sister-in-law, why can’t I do it, I’m not so delicate yet.Besides, during this period of time, I will not be bothered to do it if I am asked to do it in the future.Mother, you don't blame me for being serious just now, do you? "
Grandma Sun quickly said: "No, no, why would Mother blame you?"
Chang Xi was happy to see Mrs. Sun like this, and knew that it would be very difficult to change Mrs. Sun's thinking, but at least he showed his attitude, and he would pay more attention to things in the future, so that his brothers and sisters-in-law could feel more balanced.
"Xiao Wu's words are right, old lady, don't say any more inappropriate things in the future, if our family wants to live well, we have to form a tight bond."
It's even harder for Mrs. Sun to say anything even if Father Chang speaks like this.It's just that I lost face in front of the big guys today, and I always feel a little ashamed and flustered.
"Mother, don't worry so much in the future. If this business is completed, we will not be so tight in the future, and we don't need to worry about you thinking so much for us. The children in the family have grown up. They are all smart, they can go to school and study if they have money, maybe they will be more promising than me, let us add a champion!"
Chang Xile can also be taught. He has been teaching Yang Zi, Xing'er, and Shan Zi how to read these days, because these three children are currently the only ones who are still young and don't need to do too much work, and have some free time.Only when the family has money and can go to work without child labor, can they study and write seriously, and have spare money to buy books, paper, ink, pens and inkstones.
Grandma Sun was taken aback, "Go to school! Who will do the housework and how much it will cost! They are not like you, so they can't waste the money."
The eyes of the people in the other rooms lit up when they heard Chang Xile's words, but before they had time to think about it, their enthusiasm was extinguished by Mrs. Sun.
It is not easy for an ordinary family to raise a scholar, as you can see from Chang Xile's offerings over the years.Although Grandma Sun's words were not pleasant, none of them dared to say that their child was smarter than Chang Xile, nor did they have the confidence to do so.
"Mother, you can't say that. We don't have any money. If the business can be so good, we still have some money. We're not saying that children must take scientific exams, but just learn some principles. At least don't be blind, you can't even understand the notices. And you can learn to calculate accounts and so on, which are very useful. Besides, I will teach when the time comes, and I will teach for half a day every day, without delaying anything .If anyone is smart, send them to the county. If you can’t read well, knowing a few words is not a loss.”
The business has just started, so it seems a little early to say these words, but Chang Xile wants to give the brothers and sisters-in-law a direction, so that they can push forward even harder.Otherwise, if the goal is too low, it will be too easy to be satisfied, and other problems will soon arise.
Sure enough, as soon as these words fell, the expressions of the brothers and sisters-in-law changed.
Although Chang Xile's future was ruined because of the injury, he was different from others because of his reputation.Not only can you be exempted from tax and corvee, but you can also get rice, and with your identity there, other people dare not bully you at will.Maybe you can't live a rich life, but as long as you save a little, you won't be hungry.
It's not like those mud-legged people who depend on the sky for their food. If one of them is not lucky, he may have to sell his children and daughters, and it is very hard.It doesn't look like Chang Xile, who is well-raised and clean, anyone who looks at him and the other brothers thinks that they are not from the same family.
They can suffer by themselves, they are used to it anyway, but who wants their children to do the same?Especially for those with daughters, if the elder brother can get a good grade in the exam, he will not be afraid of being bullied at his in-law's house in the future!
Even if their children don't pass the exam, they won't suffer if they know a few words, and it would be great to work as an accountant in the city in the future.
"Xi Le is right. Our family is able to read and write, and our daughter must also learn. I used to go out, but I suffered enough from being illiterate. But now I can't rush, I have to let the family slow down before talking. In your heart If you know what to do, you can do it." Father Chang said.
Everyone felt even more at ease when they heard this, even Chang Xiwang, whose nervous daughter was less than one year old, was overjoyed.
Grandma Sun said awkwardly: "I didn't say that reading and literacy is not good. Isn't it because I am afraid of having no money?"
This topic stopped here, but Chang Xile was worried about another thing.
"If our family does business like this every day, will the snails be enough?"
He has been entangled in various things since he crossed, and he hasn't been to many places, but he heard from Shanzi that there are many places where he can't finish picking snails.But the kid didn't know what to do, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried.According to this situation, they will consume dozens of catties of snails a day, and they don't know whether this small place can afford it.
Second Sister-in-law Cao said: "Uncle, don't worry, there are many places with this stuff, and it's a big basket if you pick it up. It's not easy to clean up, even if you eat it yourself, you won't be able to eat much, and no one will snatch it from us—unless There are people out there who want to do the same business as us."
"Probably not, no one in our village will compete with us for business, and not everyone can do this well." Mrs. Wang said so, but she was also very worried.
Father Chang said: "Business is so easy to do. It's not like you don't know how to clean up the snails in our village. You don't have to worry about it. It's just that it's done well. It's okay for some people to be jealous, but people are jealous and don't do it. ? That’s not the case. But you also have to restrain yourself a little bit, don’t turn your ass up after earning some money, don’t blame others for looking down on you.”
Everyone said in unison: "Father, we won't."
Father Chang instructed again: "You also take care of your own children, don't keep your mouth shut and talk nonsense."
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Cao hurriedly reprimanded their children to stop yelling. Except for the youngest Niu Niu, the other children understood and nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
"Father, it's hard for our family to support this business. For example, our pickles, vegetables, etc., according to this situation, can't last for a few more days. I visited several uncles' homes, and there is not much in stock.
I don't think it's better than this. In the future, we will tell the village that we collect snails, vegetables, chickens, ducks, and eggs.Everyone earns money together, so that we always grab things from the village, and no one will say anything.After a while, when the cornus is ripe, they can also let them pick it, and we will pay for it.That thing is the most troublesome, and it must find a lot of people to make it.Although we earn less in this way, it is also a lot easier.Otherwise, it would take a long time to fiddle with the snails alone, the land at home would have to be busy, and manpower would have to be allocated to do business, and it would definitely not be possible. "
This is not the first time Chang Xile said this, but before the money was not earned, everyone must have planned to pay for it first.But seeing the result now, it is more acceptable.Although it may seem like a small thing to clean up these things, there is still a lot of work to be done, which takes a lot of manpower and time.
Especially from today onwards, a room of people has to be allocated to do business, and one is on the construction site, so the number of people in the family has decreased a lot.The usual work is busy enough, and now such a major event is added, it will definitely be overwhelmed.
Father Chang pondered for a moment, and said: "Your words are also reasonable. Although there are things in the village like snails and dogwood, whoever wants to eat them can just fish them by themselves, but if they use them for business and sell them for money, everyone will definitely have them." Opinion. After all, we are exchanging things in the village for ourselves, and it is logically difficult. Then it depends on how the business is going in the past few days. If it can be stable as it is today, I will talk to Lizheng."
The next day, Chang Xisheng's family came back earlier than before, and the things were also sold out.Chang Xisheng's family was flushed, and they were even more excited than yesterday.
It turned out that after the first day, everyone knew that this food tasted good, and everyone passed it on, especially since everyone knew that the imperial envoys liked the food from their stall, and they wanted to taste what it tasted, which made the imperial envoys applaud!Especially those big stewards and general managers are the most generous. Once you buy several copies, they are all sold out at once.
Chang Xisheng and the others also complained, saying that since they are in business, they don't know how to do more. Isn't this intentionally greedy?
When everyone heard the news, they were immediately overjoyed.
Chang Xisheng said excitedly: "Although our things are not cheap, they can't hold our goods well. There are more people with spare money there! Those managers said that someone bought it yesterday and ate with wine at night, it's like a fairy The vegetable sour and tea eggs that were not paid attention to yesterday were all robbed of my stall today. Everyone wants to taste what the imperial envoy likes to eat. Oh, yes, today the imperial envoy Your lord's servant also came, and packed away all the snail noodles and pig's trotters."
Everyone became happy when they heard this, and said that their business was good, all thanks to the blessing of the imperial envoy.
After confirming the payment of wages and knowing that the managers there are very talkative, everyone has a good impression of the imperial envoy, and the number of people on the construction site has increased sharply in the second month.I heard that if so many people can be kept, the fortifications in this section can be completed early.
Chang Xile also laughed secretly, this imperial envoy is a live advertisement for free!
Papa Chang made a decision immediately and doubled the amount for the next day.As a result, they were all sold out quickly, and it was still not enough.
There are too many people gathered there, and they are all men who can eat but can't hide money. Seeing that others are full of food and bragging about it, I want to try it myself.Especially when the money is paid, everyone is determined, and they always feel that they can still get [-] Wen for a month, and they all feel confident and generous.
Besides, the work of digging the river channel is really hard. Although there is dry food, there is not enough oil and water, and I will be hungry after a while.Buy these things to eat, not only taste good but also full!
Father Chang gritted his teeth and doubled the amount, but to his surprise, it was still not enough!
Chang Xisheng was about to cry, the business was good, but it was a worry, mainly because there were still a group of people who couldn't buy it, and he couldn't earn the money, so he was so annoyed in his heart, he wished he could conjure it up on the spot.
"Father, we have to at least double the amount tomorrow, no, twice!"
