Rebirth of the backing and eating mountains

On July 25, it is advisable to break ground, enter the house, open the market, accept lottery, good luck.

After several months of hard work, except for the initial drought and some truncation, the overall growth of this year's rice is good. At this time, the ears of rice are slightly yellow, hanging heavily to the ground, and they will mature in a few days. In order to prepare There are many people going to the market today for the things needed for the autumn harvest.Before the hour, crowds from all directions began to pour into Anping Town.In the town, all the shops in the streets and alleys have opened, the snack restaurants on both sides of the street are full of heat, and all kinds of aromas are diffused in the air. Crowded.

At three o'clock in the morning, a burst of "cracking" firecrackers sounded over Anping Town, sandwiched in various noisy sounds, but it was not drowned out.

Anping Town is not too big, but there are quite a lot of shops on the street. It happens from time to time when the shops open and close. As soon as the firecrackers sound, you know that there are shops opening again. Most people are not interested in this, only a small number Curious, Xun Sheng ran over to watch, even so, the shop was soon surrounded by water.

The shop is a small two-story building, covered with a piece of red cloth from top to bottom, and the onlookers stretched their necks and couldn't see what it looked like inside.Someone in the crowd knew this place, and said to the people around him: "There were originally two shops here, one selling calligraphy and painting and the other selling jade wares. Why did they change hands?" A person next to him said, "Maybe it's because the business is not easy to do." The man shook his head and said: "The business of those two stores is very good." The other said: "Who knows, maybe the previous boss took over the store because of something. Oh, why didn't I know? I know, if I spend more money, I will sell these two stores, what a pity..." The man's face was full of regret, and the people next to him who had the same thoughts as him sighed again and again.

As they were talking, the firecrackers had already been set off in that room, and the smoke from the firecrackers had not cleared away. At some point, two young men stood at the two ends of the shop.Of these two people, one was handsome and the other was tall and burly, wearing a dark red gown with a smile on his face, standing there was very eye-catching, attracting a burst of admiration from the crowd.

The two of them waited for the noise to pass, then Fang clasped his fists at the crowd, one of them pulled the side of the red cloth, and together with force, the red cloth covering the shop slowly slipped down.All the people present stared at the shop with wide eyes. The brand-new roof, the newly painted dark red walls, window lattices, and a plaque with the words "North and South Grocery" written in black on a white background appeared in front of everyone one by one. before.

And as the entire store gradually revealed its true face, the crowd suddenly burst into commotion, and there were constant exclamations of "Huh?" and "Ah?" Inside..." "You can see it really clearly" "It's pretty nice", for a moment everyone's eyes were focused on the window facing the street of the store.

An Rubao stood on the east side of the shop, looked at the scene in front of him, somewhat proud, and thought: "Are you surprised? I paid a lot of money to buy this thing, it really is enough to attract attention." In the world, there is something called glass everywhere. He had thought about it when he was decorating the storefront, but it's a pity that it doesn't exist here.Fortunately, he encountered something that could be replaced.

An Hua looked at the straight-eyed faces of everyone in front of him calmly, and couldn't help admiring An Rubao in his heart.

Jingguo has a vast territory, bordering many countries in the east, west, and north, and facing the sea in the south.Wuhai is the largest sea area on this continent, boundless and boundless, so it is called Wuhai.In Wuhai, there is a kind of sea fish called sea ion. This fish is more than six feet long, smooth and scaleless, with a transparent film on the outside. This film falls off once a year. Sea ion grows in the deep sea, but the film has to be They can only fall off in the shallow sea area, and they come to the shallow sea every year to remove their membranes.The membrane is quite miraculous, after leaving the water for six hours, it will become hard, smooth and translucent, it will look like water is flowing when placed in the sun, so it is called Shuili.After the water is formed, it is crystal clear and beautiful. Many times, it is used to make ornaments and accessories, which is not practical for ordinary people.Among the running businessmen who knew Anhua well, there was a picture fresh. He brought some back from the south and accidentally dropped them in his hand. Hearing that Anhua was going to open a shop, he brought Ye Shuili with him.

An Hua didn't like this thing, but An Rubao's eyes glowed when he saw it, and without saying a word, he bought all the few Shui Li in the man's hand.There are quite a lot of sea ions. Although this water ion is not a rare item, it is not easy to get it, and it is only found in the southern seaside, but the price is not low.An Hua didn't want it in his heart, but seeing An Rubao's happy appearance, he didn't stop him, thinking that if he lost it then it would be a lesson for him.I don't want An Rubao to ask the decoration team to change all the windows on the upper and lower floors facing the street into three-foot squares after getting Shuili, and ask them to cut Shuili into corresponding sizes, and find a way to press it on On the window mullion, replace the previous window paper.

The decoration team headed by Zhao Datou has never done such a job, so they put in all their effort and thought that An Rubao was whimsical, but after pressing Shui Li, the effect is surprisingly good.Not to mention that Shuili is unique, just standing on the street and being able to see the goods in the shop is enough to amaze Anhua and convince Zhao Datou and others.

Everyone's surprise at Shuili was expected. After seeing Shuili's surprise, they saw the situation inside the store through Shuili, and they couldn't help but be attracted by the goods inside. An Rubao saw that the timing was about the same, I cupped my hands and said in a loud voice: "Everyone is invited, thank you for your favor, come to support the small shop. Today is the day when we open the North and South Groceries. The store is as the name suggests, and the store deals in all kinds of goods from the North and the South. Since the store has just opened, I promise, Anyone who buys goods in this store within three days will be given a small gift and enjoy a [-]% discount... The so-called [-]% discount means that you buy one hundred cash in this store, and we only charge [-] cash..."

Before he could finish speaking, the crowd became restless for a while, and many people began to squeeze towards the store door, pushing An Rubao aside in a daze.For convenience, during the renovation, An Rubao had asked the decoration team to block the door of the store on the west side.At this moment, the crowd pushed forward, and they were about to burst the door of the store. At this moment, a person came out of the store.

The man appeared to be in his early twenties, wearing a long gown, calm and unhurried, as if he hadn't seen the crowd, stood at the door of the store expressionlessly, and said loudly: "Everyone, I am the shopkeeper of our store. Make sure that our store has enough goods, everyone has a share, and please don’t be crowded, otherwise the store will be smashed on the first day of opening, not to mention that it is not good-looking to everyone, but the store will ask for compensation. For To prevent this from happening, the store can only wait for everyone to line up before opening the door."

Everyone was really thinking that they would not be able to buy it too late, and only moved forward with one heart, causing the scene to be chaotic. Now, after hearing this person's words, they all calmed down, and many people blushed, and started spontaneously. After arranging the order, I looked at the shopkeeper eagerly.

The shopkeeper looked at it for a while, then smiled slightly, stood aside, arched his hands, and said: "Everyone, please." He walked into the shop first, and the others looked at each other and followed.

From the outside, the inside is amazing, but when you enter the shop, the inside is even more refreshing.There were waiters in the shop, watching the customers come in, busy leading them to look around.This shop is a combination of two, but the area of ​​the previous two shops is not too large, and the walls in the middle cannot be completely opened, only the door is opened. An Rubao divides the shop into four areas according to local conditions. The east side of the first floor is In the daily necessities area, the west side is for rice, flour, grain, oil, etc., the east side of the second floor is the ready-made clothing and cloth area, and the west side sells jewelry and some fresh small items.

The walls around the store were painted white, and some decorations were hung on the roof. Half-length bead curtains were hung on the two doors in the middle, separating the east and west areas.On the east and west sides of the first floor are a row of cabinets, filled with various things. The most amazing thing is that the counter is actually made of colored glass, so you can see the goods inside clearly.

The ready-to-wear and cloth on the second floor is half dug into a wall, and the ready-made clothes are hung in rows, and the cloth is also stacked layer by layer.Not to mention the rice, flour, grain and oil, they are all neatly placed.

People wandered around inside, unable to resist the temptation of discounts and gifts, and the things in the store were really good and novel, so they bought more or less.Especially in the daily necessities area, because the tableware is made of porcelain from the south, it is very delicate, placed in the window, through the water, it is a little more moist, it is simply hard to put it down, it is one of the most sold commodities one.Others are ready-to-wear and fabrics, and the fresh gadgets from the south are also very attractive and make people linger.

An Hua, An Rubao and the crowd gradually became orderly. Just now, they put their hearts into their stomachs and found a corner to sit down. The two of them were resting when the shopkeeper came over and greeted them. Said: "Business is good today. Rubao's idea of ​​discounting is indeed a good idea. On the surface, we made less money, but in fact we made money. Your brain, if you don't do business, it's really a waste of talent." An Rubao Smiled at him and said, "Jiangcheng is a big praise."

The shopkeeper is Fang Jiancheng.At the beginning, An Hua and An Rubao were focused on making a living, but one of them had been in the business for several years, and the other had a lifetime of experience, so they knew little about business routes. When the shop was almost installed, they realized that they were not good at managing the shop.After the two of them got together, they went to find Fang Jiancheng.

Fang Jiancheng once worked as a manager in the shop where his family settled down in Yuxing City, so he is familiar with running the shop.When An Hua and An Rubao came to talk to each other, Fang Jiancheng agreed without even thinking about it.He is still young, and the situation forced him to move to Qingshan Village, and he is not willing to farm the land for the rest of his life. To be a farmer who digs the soil well, he will never let go of such an opportunity.An Hua and An Rubao didn't treat him badly either, they agreed with him five taels of silver per month and [-]% of the shop's profits.Fang Bo's family is very satisfied with the monthly salary, but they are unwilling to accept the percentage. Among them, Fang Bo is the most fiercely opposed, saying that he will never take advantage of others in his life.

An Rubao couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Brother Anhua and I don't know anything about running a shop, and I have to prepare for the exam, so I can't spend too much energy on the shop. In the future, the shop will have to be built and I will have to worry about it. The [-]% share He deserves it. If you don't want it, we'll have to go find someone else."

Speaking of this, Fang Bo's family had no reason to refuse, and the three signed an agreement, and Fang Jiancheng officially became the shopkeeper of North and South Groceries.
