Chapter 162: Benefiting the People
"Madam, can we also do business?" Xiaomei was very excited. After a few days, she was even more excited than Xuejian.
"Oh, it's natural. No one stipulates who can do business and who can't do it." Xue should not be difficult to see that I don't want to be rich, but to live a stable day.
When she came out of peace, she didn't bring much money because of the tightness of time. After buying the yard, she sat empty for more than three months. Xue knew that she had seen the bottom of the box. If she let her go back and beg others, she would never refuse. However, in the countryside, there is no land of their own. How can these four people live now? Fortunately, several of the girles were inseparable from their support, which made Xue Jian feel much more at ease. After thinking about it, I am only good at cooking, but rural people, even Dongsheng Village, are still rich, who will be willing to eat out.
One person is short, two people are long, and everyone picks up firewood and the flame is high. Three stinky skins, top of Zhuge Liang. Based on this principle, I discussed with my daughter again and decided to sort out one upside down and open a grocery store, and the other one with a few tables to provide some free tea and a few simple food. The daily life in the countryside of Dashun is generally supplied by the freightmen who walk through the streets and alleys, otherwise they will have to go to the market to exchange. The goodsman usually comes once every three or five days, and there are also times when he shows up every ten days and eight days, and the collection is held once every five days, which is inevitable that there will be inconvenience.
"Don't say it, that's a good idea!" The mother slapped her leg and shouted.
"I've only seen it in the county, but I haven't heard of it in any village." The child stood on his mother's side, full of surprise and said with a smile.
When he gave birth to a son in his spare time, he often went to some small counties. He turned his head and said to Xiaotao and others beside him, "Xue Jian... My wife is really smart. No one has ever thought of opening a grocery store before!"
As soon as the words of having a child fell, Xiaotao curled her lips and immediately answered, "That's natural! Who is our wife? Don't use your little head to compare with our wife!"
"Little peach girl said," the son waved his hand and blushed and said, "I... I'm a stupid person. How dare I compare with my wife?"
"It's good to know!"
Looking at the obvious unequal battle between the two, Xiaomei stared at Xiaotao. Maybe she was too idle to bully and have children, which became Xiaotao's biggest focus of life. All right, let's be business. Xiaotao, go and make Huaishan porridge for your wife. Remember, after washing the japonica rice, marinate it with a little salt and boil it in boiling water first. Then soak Huai yam and practical water slightly to remove impurities and wash them. Finally, put japonica rice, Huai yam and glutinous rice into the pot and cook together. When the porridge is ready, add lard and refined salt for seasoning. This porridge is the most beneficial to the spleen and stomach, nourishing the mind and calming the mind. It has a significant effect on Xuejian's physical condition at this moment and her continuous heart palpitations, insomnia and dreams, yellow face, and lack of concentration.
Xiaotao agreed to go. Naturally, the matter of my wife's diet is a big deal, but it can't be vague.
Seeing that this heartless little peach was dismissed, Xiaomei asked Xuejian in a low voice, "by the way, lady, what should I do if the grocery store is stocked?"
The smile on Xue's face gradually faded away, but it's not. Naturally, it's not appropriate for a few girl to buy goods, and it's not good if she meets acquaintances. Thinking about the sales of this small grocery store, I forgot to consider the purchase of goods.
"This is simple, my family has a child," the mother pulled over to give birth, "Let such a big living person go, Xue can help you. Besides, in the past few years, the surrounding counties have also been run several times, and the road is familiar.
"I'm just afraid that I'm too stupid to delay my wife's shop..."
Xuejian looked up at the birth of a child, but it's not a ready-made candidate! The child is real, but not stupid. In time, he is not a good hand! In my opinion, this is a good idea. You don't have to worry about having children. Who is born to do business? You only remember that the most important thing in doing business is integrity. Whether it is a big business or a small business, you should pay attention to integrity!"
In fact, there is no more suitable candidate than having a child, so it was finalized. In addition to Xuejian, he left him behind, taught him some of the best common sense and skills in modern times, and asked him to come here every day to teach him simple literacy and accounting.
Xuejian directly turned the grocery store into a supermarket and almost named it "Bigfoot Supermarket". I made four simple and practical shelves, and then pulled out the list in person, and the child was responsible for buying them in the city. Before giving birth to a child, he worked part-time for others in the village and had a wince. Although he knew what had happened to Xuejian, he still hated the ruthless young master of the Zhou family. It goes without saying that it must be the story of rich families bullying lonely maidservant. Now I have quit my short-term job outside and dedicated to helping Xue see Zhang Luo's grocery store. I would rather go to a few more stores than a few, and get the best and cheapest goods.
When I chose auspicious days, I set off firecrackers and hung a high signboard similar to a wine curtain, with the word "benefiting the people", which attracted many children and women in the village to see. Xiaotao stood at the entrance of the village and generously introduced today's "benefiting the people's policy" of the grocery store, that is, those who come to spend more than ten cents will be given a "golden cake". Ten cents, not to mention a rich village like Dongsheng Village, even the former Pingshan Village, is also affordable, which is equivalent to customers who come to the grocery store to have gifts.
The mother-born also stood at the door and became a serious shopkeeper, greeting the villagers to come in to choose goods, but because she was nervous and her expression was too solemn, which made her smile very stiff. But when the villagers saw her in the shop, they had a bottom in their hearts and greeted each other and came in to have a look. They are all things that are commonly used by parents, and they are placed on the shelves, which is much more convenient to choose than the small burden of the cargo man. When everyone sees the real thing, the woman's shopping enthusiasm is instantly bit by cannon fodder, and they smell the fragrant cakes and shreds that they have never heard of. The children around them keep pulling the corners of their mother's clothes. , and the little hands were stuffed into his mouth. As a mother, he patted the child's hand and made eye contact with others, so he had the idea of trying.
In the morning, Xiaoli scalded the dough with boiling water, then put it half cool and turned into a dough. Then, after waking up a column of incense, he began to apply the medicine. Mei helped Xiaoli grease the middle of the two agents and rolled it into a pancake. Xiaoli has heated the pot and does not refuel. When it is baked in the middle, turn it over immediately, then take it out of the pot, and remove it from the middle. On the other side of the kitchen, Xiaoli has stir-fried dried shredded eggplant and shredded meat, waiting for the burrito to be served. In addition, it is bean sprouts and shredded potatoes. At this time, potatoes have just appeared. Most people don't know how to eat them, and the output is large, so they are very cheap. Xuejian has naturally purchased a large number of them. Now all the materials are ready, so open the roll! This is a link that everyone likes very much. Add all the dishes to the cake and wrap them beautifully without leaking. In fact, this is a technical job!
In the next few days, this is fresh and convenient, and it can also catch up with the new fashionable small grocery store in the county and attract more villagers. Soon, this convenient grocery store was familiar and recognized by the people of Dongsheng Village, and the snacks will also make some delicious food from time to time. Although there are not many varieties, the taste is unique. Now it is the end of the year. If there are relatives or people who do business, they will come to customize it, which is even more satisfying.
"Gang son, my wife said I think it's the fastest!" Xiaotao interrupted the child who was practicing calligraphy one by one.
"Well, well, I know you are the smartest, but the son-birth brother also feels very serious, so don't affect the son-birth brother."
"Xiaomei is very right." Xuejian looked up. Although it was difficult for her to write by herself, it did not prevent her from teaching everyone to read and settle accounts. Xiaomei and several people have learned calligraphy in the Zhou family. Now they are very interested in bookkeeping and are also very interested in learning. Unexpectedly, Xiaotao thought it was the best, so Xiaotao became an accountant and clerk, the birth child became a procurement clerk, the mother became a store manager and clerk, and Xiaoli became a chef and clerk.
"Sister Xuejian, I, I also want to learn to read." Mei looked at everyone for a few days and became interested. She came to talk to Xuejian.
Of course, Xue Jian was welcome, so he also accepted the student. Now, several people take turns to learn to read or settle accounts. In short, in such a small grocery store, everyone is a clerk, but they have their own division of labor. Anyway, there is no time when I'm too busy to get around, so, under normal circumstances, it is mainly watched by Xiaotao and the mother giving birth.
It is the time when farmers are free. The free hot tea at the snack bar attracts the villagers to have nothing to do in the afternoon. They often come to chat. Four small tables are always full. Most of the time, there are a group of old women and little daughters-in-law chatting while doing work. When you leave, someone will take the needle and thread back. Anyway, it's very convenient.
There are also some villagers who do not want to have money for a while. Xue saw another way to barter. As soon as this method came out, the popularity was beyond everyone's expectation. Everyone felt that this method was more convenient, so the business became more stable. Although the existence of small convenience supermarkets can't make much money, it is better than small profits, quick turnover and long-term flow, which can be said to be zero risk.
There is also the flexible young man. Seeing that this small grocery store is only a few beautiful girls in addition to having children, he sends firewood from time to time. The mother who gave birth to children all rudely accepted it for Xuejian. Anyway, this is the shortest thing in winter.
For Xuejian, the sky has not collapsed yet, so even if it is boring, it still has to continue to live. What's more, there are so many people around her who sincerely care about her and love her. They are all family members that she wants to maintain and take care of!
