Yue Guang had really been hit by that crow's beak. Xiao Yue's embroidery workshop had suffered losses over and over again, to the point where they couldn't even afford to buy the goods. It was obvious that they couldn't hold on any longer.
Yue Xiang sat by the side of the table with a worried look on her face, but she did not look worried at all. She quickly counted the remaining embroidery items, and while she was counting, he wrote on a piece of paper, "Eight pairs of embroidered socks, twelve handkerchief, five shoes, ten wallets, ten scented sachet …"
Yue Xiang asked, "Why did you order these? Take it out to sell cheaply? "
"Of course not," Bai Qianfan said, "Although we can't hold on for much longer, but we still have some prestige points. After we get back from living, we can still sell these things."
The laurel was not in a good mood, "At that time, you had the banknotes in your hands, and your waist was as thick as a rich country." At that time, you had the banknotes in your hands, and your waist was as thick as a rich country.
"Big sister, don't scold me, let's eat something good. We can just treat it as paying the tuition," Bai Qianfan said as she giggled, "I have some good news to tell you. Someone has set their eyes on our shop and is willing to rent it for business.
The laurel immediately became alert. "Who are you and what do you do? The most important thing is to make sure who we are, we can't do everything. "
Yue Xiang was worried about something else, "If we rent out the shop, what do we live on? We can't just rely on the two rent, right?"
Yue Guiyi said, "Exactly, in a place like this, it's already good enough for us to rent a shop like this for one tael of silver."
Bai Qianfan took off the purse on her waist and poured the money out. A few pieces of silver and a few big shots lit up under the light, "The rent is one to two taels of silver per month, I said that I won't rent for a long time, I'll pay for it for two months first. If the business is good, I'll continue to work for it.
Yue Gui Yue Xiang opened her eyes wide, "You didn't come back to discuss it with us, and agreed to it already?"
Bai Qianfan scratched the back of her head in embarrassment: "I thought you guys were girls, it's not convenient to interact with males, so …"
"No one rents a shop like that. They rent it on a yearly basis, and he rent it on a monthly basis. If he doesn't do it in two months, we can't go to the northwest wind!"
"In case the business is not good, we can't let them drink too much!"
laurel stared at her, "Which one of you are you from?"
"Elder sister, don't glare at me," Bai Qianfan wasn't afraid of her anyways, but still giggled, "Make up your mind, we made the transaction ourselves, and even helped others think about it, only two months passed, and at least two taels of silver have entered the account. I've thought about it, since Sister Yue Gui is skilled in embroidery, she will take care of it in the future.
Yue Xiang glanced at them and laughed.
Yue Guiyi said, "What you said is not bad. Embroidery does not cost money, but snacks are still needed. I wonder if the rent is enough?"
I have also thought about it on this level, "Bai Qianfan licked her lips," I remember that in the past, Big Sister Qi Hong had made sophora cake, egg cake, artemisia dung cake, sugar Oil Gourd, and even made lotus leaf cake in the summer, lotus seed cake, corn cake, chrysanthemum cake, sour dates dung, and so on. In the winter, we can ferment the melon, and many things are wild.
I think it's a good idea. Let's just leave it at that. It's not a very profitable business. Only someone as smart as Fan can think of such a way to sell it.
Bai Qianfan, who was wearing a high hat, felt embarrassed. She rubbed the tip of her nose: "If I was smart, I wouldn't have made a loss business."
And just like that, Xiao Yue embroidery workshop became a shop selling grain and oil.
The owner of the grain and oil store was surnamed Qian, and coincidentally, Bai Qianfan had changed her name to Qian as well. Since they shared the same surname, they became a lot closer to each other, so Shopkeeper Qian was very embarrassed and told her that he had originally rented a different place to stay, but who would have thought that the family members would go back on their words and not rent another room for them.
Bai Qianfan wanted to discuss this with Yue Gui. After all, there were two girls living in the backyard, which might be inconvenient for them.
When Yue Xiang saw that Manager Qian had agreed to go out with his wife and daughter and acted like an upright person, it was not easy for him. It was also good that he could do something convenient.
The grain and oil store had started to bustle with activity, and the business seemed to be quite good.
Bai Qianfan walked around the streets carrying a basket every day, hawking the snacks. The first two days were rather light, but she found a trick to sell it outside the door of her house.
The little child was lured out and she gave him a biscuit for free. After eating, the little child still wanted the biscuit, and as a mother, she felt embarrassed and could only buy two for free. This was equivalent to giving away one for free and taking advantage of the fact that the food was delicious and not expensive.
Not only did children like this, old aunties and uncles also liked to eat this kind of dessert. Bai Qianfan had always been a very honest and honest person in her business, never taking any advantage of others. Sometimes, even when she wasn't done selling them all, she would gift them to others for free.
Just like this, Little Merchant made a name for himself and carried out a basket of snacks. He did not have to walk through two alleys to sell all his snacks. Those that did not buy it were rather depressed, and told him to bring more tomorrow.
Because it was time for dessert, Bai Qianfan was very concerned about the holiday. Seeing that it was almost noon, she ran to a far away place to gather some zongzi leaves, wash them and soak them in water, then put them in a bamboo basket and sold them together. She sold them all at a cheaper price than in the market.
Having sold out early, she was also happy, because she had time to pick more rice leaves, and she also picked a lot of wormwood. The people here had the custom of tying wormwood on doors and windows, and she actually made a small profit from half selling and half giving it away.
She would often sell them half-way for free, and since everyone was too embarrassed to take advantage of her, they would give her some things as well. Sometimes they would give her a handful of vegetables, sometimes they would give her a few pieces of garlic and a few pieces of ginger, and sometimes they would also give her a few luscious red chilies.
Not only were there vegetarian dishes, but there were meat as well. In Jiangnan town, there were rich fish and fishes, and people could be seen fishing everywhere. Sometimes, when they met someone they knew, they would just give her one. One day, when she went back to the butcher's house, she was given a piece of meat. Another time, an old lady happened to have a litter of chickens in her house and gave her a ball of soft yellow fluff, reminding her of Little Yellow. She planned to feed it eggs, which would then be born into a chicken and the chicken into an egg … She squinted as she dreamed. The more she thought about it, the happier she became.
Bai Qianfan felt that her days were looking forward to more and more. Under the sunset, she walked home with her head held high and her chest puffed up.
