marriage with god

Lu Qi lived a life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset, and lived a simple life to the fullest.

Use the morning time to do all the farm work at home, collect the eggs, go to the city once every two days, pay the eggs to the restaurant and settle the payment, and then go home. On the day of the market, the whole family goes out to the stall to sell eggs. It was a good idea. Now many villagers bring their eggs to the market to sell. Because of the sudden increase of eggs on the market, the price has dropped anyway, and the profit is still relatively small.

Lu Qi’s eggs already had a source of customers. When selling eggs last year, they used a pen to draw their family’s symbol on the eggshell. Now people who buy eggs in this town know that they are Lu Qi's, even if they don't know it's Lu Qi, they know that the egg was produced first.

As for the symbol, only Lu Qi could draw it at the beginning, which is a relatively difficult Chinese character. When Ha Qi was writing it, he practiced on the ground for a long time before he dared to write on the eggshell. This character is a' Lu' is just the transliteration of the first character of Lu Qi's name.

Ha Qi was very worried about the egg business at home, but after Lu Qi explained some market principles to him, he was no longer so worried. Although there were a lot of eggs in the market, the quality was not as good as Lu Qi’s eggs Well, after buying eggs for a long time, people also know the difference between good and bad, and you can tell at a glance who is bad and who is good. Now it seems that Lu Qi’s eggs are still a time-honored brand. Most people are still willing to buy their eggs.

Lu Qi's salted eggs were promoted when summer came. This time, he didn't sell the salted eggs in the market, but went directly to the restaurant owner, a regular customer who had done business with him before, to promote them.

The whole family has tried the salted eggs made by Lu Qi. Lu Qi thinks that the salted eggs are not as good as the salted duck eggs. Ha Qi and Andrew, who is no longer just their teacher, are getting more and more angry with Lu Qi. Curious, it was the first time he saw his method of pickling salted eggs, it was the first time he saw the use of urine as fertilizer when growing vegetables, it was the first time he tried to eat bacon from last year, and Lu Qi educated his younger brother There are many words, sentences and proverbs that he has never heard of.

If it weren't for the three hours of class time every day, he would have completely forgotten his purpose of coming to Lu Qi's house. Oh, yes, it seems that he hasn't received a salary for many months.

Andrew knows that Lu Qi is an illiterate mountain villager, but Lu Qi's performance in front of him every day always surprises him. The two younger brothers are very polite and respect Andrew as a teacher. Lie, making Andrew always make himself more serious every time he sees their eyes eager for knowledge.

Andrew, who lives in Lu Qi's house, has never thought of leaving his house. He usually does no less than them. When he is too busy, he will personally bring the goods to the town with Lu Qi. For salted eggs, Lu Qi directly negotiated the order quantity with the restaurant, and signed a contract with the restaurant, in duplicate, one for the restaurant owner, one for Lu Qi, the drafter was Andrew, signed and thumbprinted after both parties had no objection .

Among them, Andrew can't help much.

The method of making salted eggs belongs to the category of patents. Lu Qi really wants to have his own patent certificate, but it is impossible here. As for the method of making salted eggs, he does not plan to tell others for the time being. The money is another matter, and the patent may be sold when he leaves the town, and there will be a profit at that time.

Summer is here, Lu Qihe is getting darker and darker, longer and stronger, and Andrew, who is becoming more and more masculine, carries his freshly marinated salted eggs to the restaurant, and the payment is still paid immediately. Sometimes the boss If there is something to go out, he will keep the payment until the next settlement, because it is a regular customer business, and the boss is a person who understands business, so he will not owe Lu Qi the payment, but he also knows that Lu Qi has made a lot of money from the restaurant , this time the salted eggs are more expensive than the usual eggs, but they are also more delicious and valuable.

Lu Qi told the owner of the restaurant that the cost of his salted eggs is high. In fact, whether it is high or not is only a matter of his opinion. Anyway, as long as he uses the delicious salted eggs provided by Lu Qi, the business of this restaurant will definitely be better than others. Other restaurants that don't have salted eggs are good. Lu Qi still sells the salted eggs to the owners of two restaurants that he knows well.

"Lu Qi, the eggs delivered this time seem to be larger than last night's."

The boss of Laerdeng Restaurant had a ruddy complexion, and he picked up the salted eggs with a smile and looked left and right. The salted eggs could bring a lot of business to his restaurant. The price of dishes made with salted eggs is higher, and people with more money usually order this dish, and this dish seems to be very popular, it has become a new variety, and everyone is vying to try it.

Lu Qi wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and said with a smile, "Mr. Alexander, thanks to you, our eggs are so good."

During Lu Qi's sweating period, Mr. Alexander had already paid Lu Qi's last payment and this payment to him. Lu Qi took the money and did not directly put it into the bag that he asked his neighbor Mrs. Will to embroider. In the middle, both Mr. Alexander and Andrew don't know why.

Alexander's shrewd eyes didn't understand why he didn't count, but he asked, "Lu Qi, don't you count the money in it? Are you afraid that I might lose money?"

Lu Qi waved his hands and smiled indifferently. His smile was oppressive. He laughed and said, "Mr. Alexander has been doing business with me for so long. I believe you are a human being. Do you need to count them? If you are busy, we will not disturb your business for now."

Alexander was very satisfied with Lu Qi's words. There was a lot of sincerity in the fake smile on his face. Didn't Lu Qi show his trust in him by doing this? It is very gratifying to gain the trust of others when doing business. And the trust in Lu Qi has increased a bit.

"Aren't you going to stay after dinner?" Mr. Alexander's tone was quite gentle, and he invited Lu Qi to dinner. Although there was some hypocrisy in it, it made Lu Qi see the business opportunities in the future.

Lu Qi was secretly delighted in his heart, Alexander must have a good impression of him now, besides, after doing business for so long, how could he still not want to continue, and want to sell the salted egg method at a high price in the future? , Occasionally being a fool, isn't this just a plan for bringing good benefits and long-term customers in the future.

Lu Qi and Andrew went out through the front door and waved to Mr. Alexander: "No, my brothers are still waiting for me at home, and I have to go home and cook for them. Come over and try your chef next time I have time." culinary skills."

"Well, go slowly, don't send it off." Alexander smiled.

Andrew nodded to Mr. Alexander, then followed Lu Qi's footsteps and left.

Walking back to the market stall, Andrew took the water from Harrow and said, "Why are you doing this today? I don't think it will benefit me."

Seeing what happened when they went out just now, Ha Qi asked, "What's the matter?"

Andrew told Haki exactly what happened just now, and Haki just put a simple smile on his lips.

Haqi placed the items in front of him on the stall table, and Lu Qi was talking to customers with a smile. Andrew asked Haqi from behind: "What are you laughing at? Isn't your elder brother's actions clearly causing us to suffer, and what's more I don't see the need to do that."

"Mr. Andrew, you may not know, but my eldest brother often teaches us some tips about doing business. Doing business not only requires product quality assurance, but also maintains a good relationship with customers. More importantly, you We must be clear that customers bring benefits and money to us. There are short-term benefits and long-term benefits. I know that my elder brother told me that sometimes I have to give up immediate benefits for long-term benefits. How to see this long-term benefit depends on us. here."

Ha Qi pointed to his head, and then continued.

"I think what my elder brother did today must be to gain the trust of Mr. Alexander and let others trust him unconditionally. First of all, I must make the other party feel that I trust him unconditionally. Of course, my elder brother told me to persist. Don't have the intention of harming others. This is the basic principle and the bottom line of doing business.”

Andrew had never been in business before, and Lu Qi didn't know why when he asked him to draw up the contract. Later, Lu Qi patiently explained to him that the purpose of doing business is to obtain profits, but you can't rush forward blindly in business, and You have to leave a way for yourself, that way won't work, and you still have a way to retreat, and that's what it is to be a human being, too stubborn, too stubborn will always bring trouble to yourself.

On the night when the draft was drafted, Lu Qi also told him: endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open up the sea and the sky.

This is an easy-to-understand truth. It is a human being as well as a business, just like what Andrew said about his self-proclaimed "smiling service". Although their goods are only eggs, which are special, other goods may not be sold. This is not only a quality issue, but also in terms of being a human being, different people and things will have different results.

Andrew felt that Lu Qi taught Ha Qi very well, and the matter that he had brooded just now suddenly became clear: "Lu Qi's idea is really strange, but I think it is very effective."

Ha Qi smiled: "Brother said that your teaching is also very good, he can read slowly now."

Look, this is the younger brother taught by Lu Qi. When others praise them, they will always turn the person who praised them into the person who is praised, and then you will feel very happy chatting with them, and you will feel very happy Pleasant, of course, which is not false.

Ha Qike always remembers Lu Qi's words: "Sometimes you can use 'white lies' when communicating with people. Remember, don't go too far. If you go too far, you will go against it."

At the beginning, Haki didn't understand it, but later he communicated more with people and got in touch with others, seeing that his elder brother dealt with people more, he gradually understood.

Andrew looked around at the stall owners who were selling goods. They had different shapes, some were dozing off with their heads down, some were expressionless, some were not angry, some were arguing with customers, and some were short-changed. , of all kinds, but such forms all have one thing in common, and there are very few customers in front of their stalls.

Andrew looked at the back of Lu Qi's head, thinking why his head was filled with so many useful principles, and the other party was younger than him, maybe he had no parents and had to rely on himself for everything, and was used to dealing with all kinds of people The reason, whatever it was, baffled him.

Lu Qi had just sold the last five eggs to regular customers, and after letting the customer leave with a satisfied smile, he turned around and looked at Andrew who was sitting and resting. He felt that it was a little uncomfortable for him to stare at him, so he asked: " Is there something wrong with my face?"

Andrew shook his head, stood up and said, "No, no, let me also be a salesman. I have long wanted to try the feeling of selling things."

Lu Qi secretly lamented Andrew's childishness, so he did not refuse his request, why not do it if someone wants to help voluntarily.

"We're going to go home after selling these things, right?"

Lu Qi pointed to the cucumbers picked and sold by his family, there were too many to eat, but he wanted to be a good person and take this thing home as a favor to his neighbors.

No one had any objections. It was obvious that Andrew had fallen under the charm of Lu Qi's personality and had become a part of their family.

The strong sun was shining in the sky, which meant that it was noon. The four of Lu Qi picked them up on poles with their baskets and baskets, packed them and went home. Not only did they leave first, but some people from other stalls also left.

Since they got home early today, they walked home after having lunch at a small shop.

In order to take care of the young Harrow, they will walk more slowly. A group of four people will talk a lot when they go home. It will not be boring along the way. He was afraid that he would suffer from heat stroke, so he handed the carrying pole to Haki, and carried the little guy home by himself.

Since they didn't have much weight on them, they took the path back. Under the shade of the greenery, accompanied by the gentle breeze, Harrow fell asleep on the back of the road. The child seemed to be too tired from playing. Haki occasionally raised his hand to drive away the small bugs flying around for Haro, and listening to the cicadas and birds in the forest was another experience, and everyone was in a very good mood.

When approaching the entrance of the village, the three of Lu Qi saw the village head hovering at the intersection of the village, pacing anxiously, Lu Qi came out of the small path and walked forward, just about to say hello, but before the voice came out, the village head went Leaping in front of him, his anxious action gave Lu Qi the confidence that something must have happened at home, and there is no one in his home now.

"Lu Qi, go back and have a look, your house, there's a big tiger coming in front of your house!"

"A tiger came to my house?" Lu Qi was full of disbelief.

Seeing that Lu Qi's reaction was mediocre, the village chief held Lu Qi's arm tightly and said, "It's the tiger that hurt you before! We dare not go forward and dare him to go, so go back and have a look!"

"..." Lu Qi paused, and said to everyone: "Then let's go back and have a look!"

Why would the tiger go to his house?

Ha Qi asked from behind: "Brother, do you remember what happened to the tiger that hurt you before?"

Lu Qi looked gloomy, "I don't remember."

How did he know which tiger hurt him.

Is it because his house has a lot of chickens, and the tiger came out of the mountains to go to his house to prostitute... chickens?
