Chapter 392: Open a shop

A five-year-old boy who knows what lonely men and widows mean, and doesn't understand the meaning of drilling cornfields. Wufu calculated from his nephew Maotou's words that his sister-in-law and adulterer have been dating for at least half a year.

At the beginning, Uncle Lin came to the village to sell things, once a month, in two or three months, with small favors and small favors, he made his eldest brother wear a cuckold.

At that time, in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, it was the busy time of farming. The family tenanted a piece of the landlord's field, and they were so busy in the field that they hit the ground with their heels.

A few times, when she came back to cook, the sister-in-law said that it was hot and she had a bad appetite, so she stopped eating, and then hid in the house and did not come out.

Wufu squinted her eyes, she could clearly see a smear of oil around her sister-in-law's mouth, and the house also smelled like roast chicken.

"Maotou, let's go, go to the clinic with my aunt to see milk."

Wufu tidied up the house and served Li Haitang hot tea. After He Yuexiu came, he pulled the cart and went out.

"That girl of yours went out to buy food again?"

He Yuexiu was half an hour later than the appointed time. She asked her cousin Ma Bihe to go with her, but she heard the news that the gate of Lucheng City was opened.

So, the two asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the city gate to take a look, otherwise they could arrive a little earlier.

"Her mother is in the hospital. She has lost a lot of blood. She needs to take care of her for a few days. Wu Fu has gone to see her mother."

Li Haitang did not speak out about the scandals in other people's families. The gate of Lucheng was open, and she got the news first at the barbarian husband last night.

Now, the border town is no longer isolated, there is grain delivered by Lucheng as a supplement, and the price of grain in the border town has been lowered, so the people don't have to worry too much.

"Haitang, last time you asked me to keep an eye on your mother-in-law, I have someone to choose."

The two are familiar with each other, and they call each other by their first names on weekdays.

Ma Bihe hadn't eaten in the morning, and wanted Wufu to help him make a bowl of noodles, but seeing that Li Haitang didn't have any manpower, he didn't mention it, and used glutinous rice sticks to satisfy his hunger.

There are many maids and women in the family, all of whom are old servants of the Ma family. She sent someone here, which inevitably chilled the servants, thinking that they had been abandoned.

It's not too easy to raise people, young people can do work, old people, the Ma family is responsible for the care of the elderly, this is the kind and kind host family.

"Experienced and kind, that's all I ask for."

For the rest, signing a death contract or helping out are all secondary, and Li Haitang doesn't care about this.

She is still young, so she won't be able to use it for the time being, so she has staff prepared in advance.

Women give birth, confinement, postpartum recovery, etc., are full of knowledge. Li Haitang is a genius doctor, but he only understands the general idea and talks on paper.

"Don't worry, there is nothing to say about this."

What Ma Bihe introduced was a nanny surnamed Yu, who used to work in a big family, and that family had relatives in the capital. When the war broke out in the Northland, the whole family defected to relatives in Kyoto with their burdens wrapped up.

Many servants in the family were left behind, and they were given contracts of sale to find their own way.

Nanny Yu's house is in a nearby village. Her eldest brother is gone, leaving only her nephew's family.

At first, the niece and daughter-in-law acted quite kindly because of the money in her hands. They were all relatives, and Nanny Yu was very generous and didn't think about those twists and turns.

In just a few days, the tens of taels of silver accumulated in his hands were completely cheated.

Seeing that the price of food has risen sharply, there is an extra person in the family to eat, which is not bad. Seeing that the daily rice grain has to go out two or three steamed buns, the nephew and daughter-in-law often scold people behind their backs.

But she just finished defrauding the money, so it's not good to turn her face immediately.

Once, she was talking bad things about Nanny Yu to the villagers, and Nanny Yu overheard her.

"She was also stubborn, so she immediately wrapped up her burden and went to a servant of my family. That person was her old sister."

Ma Bihe talked about this a few days ago, and the mother-in-law who served her heard about it, so she took the initiative to help inquire.

Mammy Yu had been to Kyoto when she was young, and had studied in the residence of a wealthy family in Kyoto for several years. She was good at making nourishing soup, serving confinement, and delivering babies.

If it weren't for the war in the Northland, her original master would not have left her alone if she was afraid and hurried on the road.

"So, I'm taking a bargain."

Li Haitang nodded. She doesn't have too many requirements here, as long as everyone knows the basics, it is enough.

"Tomorrow, I'll ask her to come over to say hello, and if you think it's okay, you can stay."

Ma Bihe made a final decision that the nanny's salary should be higher, half a tael per month, including food and lodging, and clothes for all seasons.

Nanny Yu has no relatives, so she can sign a death contract.

"This will be given by her original owner. If she does well, she will pay more."

Li Haitang is never stingy with servants. Modern confinement women pay high wages. She fully understands that it is not easy to serve confinement women.

In the first three months, she was a firecracker, she couldn't suppress her anger, and felt like she was going crazy.

Fortunately, after four months, Li Haitang became normal again.

"The gate of Lucheng is open, so why not choose Lucheng as our first store."

There are still nearly two months to celebrate the new year. If you act quickly, you can make a fortune by opening the shop before the year.

It is almost an unwritten custom of the common people to buy fiercely years ago.

Those who save soy sauce and vinegar on weekdays are no exception. Buying new year's goods during the New Year can empty out a year's savings.

The new year is not prosperous, there is no good omen, and the coming year will not turn around. People generally think so.

Clothes, cloth, jewelry, and all kinds of small items at the end of the year are the best sellers.

Lucheng is also a relatively affluent city in the Northland, and there are several small counties underneath. Since it is a chain model, it must bloom everywhere and operate together.

"This is what I've figured out recently."

Li Haitang took out a stack of rice paper and drew many modern patterns, such as Winnie the Pooh, a monkey with a big mouth, and a cute rabbit.

"Where did you come up with the idea? Make this into a rubber band and wear it for a little girl. It must look good."

Ma Bihe's favorite is Ari. Once the finished product is finished, she will keep a few as gifts.

There are paints at home, so Li Haitang paints a few patterns, and the other patterns such as butterfly flowers, the ancient working people are wise, and they have been developed long ago, so they are not new.

"We all have shops in Lucheng, but they are empty now, so how about this, one of us is in charge of one."

Ma Bihe was eager to make a career. The three of them had already sketched out the prototype during the chat. Each of them took 30% of the money, and the remaining 10% was donated to Li Haitang's pharmacy to treat more people.

Whoever said that businessmen pursue profits, while making money, they must not lose their original intentions. Those who are prosperous and can expand their business are not treacherous people.

"Okay, then each of us will open a shop." Li Haitang has a shop in the west of the city. The place is not big, but it is enough to sell accessories.
