On the last day of Dawangzhuang, everyone's mood was very complicated: a little thankful, a little nostalgic, and a little at a loss.

Xiaoxiao was originally ready to go to Tianshui Town with Dan Tai Furong to continue selling yarn, but was unanimously opposed by everyone. She was allowed to stay at home and rest well in a "special period".

After discussion, Xiaoxiao's role is topped by Ruicai. After all, yesterday's results are laid out, and today's sales should be more smooth.

As soon as the two left in a carriage, the group received a message from the superior: as of noon today, a special gentleman would go to each group to count the amount of money, and the money inflow after noon did not count. In addition, the lunch meal today is provided by the Xueli.

"Aren't we going to Dawangzhuang at noon three days ago? Xueli said three days, and it was indeed three days." Xizi couldn't help but say, and he was still looking forward to it. After lunch, Xueli would let all students leave Dawangzhuang and return to Kyoto.

"Should we take out all the existing money and settle the accounts again?" Everyone thought differently. Youqing was worried about this. "Also, I heard that Xue Cong took another big job and took people to Duyu Village to repair the roof."

Ni Jie said, "It's enough for us to sort out our own affairs. Today, there must be a large number of people coming to be used as things. After all, it's the last day. Many things are not useful even if they are kept. If you can change them for more, it's just a piece of paper." As he said, he looked at Xiaoxiao again: "Yingyuan, should we set a rule? After all, the goods you received cannot be sold out in a very short time, so many things need to be priced again."

Xiaoxiao was also thinking about this problem, but he felt that there was something urgent to be solved in his heart. He looked up at the sky and suddenly said, "Hurry and send a driver to chase Ruicai and their carriage! Let them be sure to rush home before noon!"

The three of them suddenly realized, right? If Ruicai and the others rushed back after noon, the counting of the money would be over, and even if they got back more money, it would not count.

Youqing was most panicked and anxious: "Send a few more people to ride horses and chase them out of several roads. Spending some money is a trivial matter now, so don't delay the large amount of money later! This time they brought a lot of good goods!"

Indeed, the pawn shop business was booming yesterday, and many girls took out the good things they had hidden privately. Some of them were used to show off during outings, and some were used to connect with their relationships. Anyway, they were all real good things.

Ni Jie has already left the yard and went to hire a coachman.

"On the last day, hurry up and go to the pawn shop of the No. 16 Courtyard. After this village, there will be no such shop!" The vague aunt's thunderous voice resounded throughout the Dawang Village, "If you want to, just take it, just take it as you should!!!"

The three girls were stunned when they heard this and smiled first: "I asked Aunt Mihu to help promote the pawnshop business yesterday, but I didn't expect she still remembered it!"

"When she shouted, people should come. Should we collect so many goods or not?" Youqing was the first to be in trouble. "If people take rice, flour, grain and oil as a way, how much should we charge?"

"Our pawnshop is not closed, so these things have to be collected, but the price needs to be discussed again." Xiaoxiao was talking about this when he saw a few girls carrying noodles and rice into the yard.

...

Tong Shanchang got up early, and his nerves that had been tight for three days were not dared to relax at all, although he would receive "information" from gentlemen every day: no one was hungry, no serious illness, no more rain leaks... In the past two days, no one asked to go back to Kyoto in advance.

"The last moment, the more you should not be careless." Mr. Tong looked at Mr. Zhou who was standing beside him, "especially the carriage leaving the village, let the bodyguards follow closely, and they must not make any mistakes."

Mr. Zhou Zheng pointed his head and then smiled: "Since yesterday, there has been only one carriage leaving the village."

Just as Chief Tong Shanzhang was about to ask which carriage it was in, he suddenly heard a thunder roar in the air: "Hurry up and go to the pawn shop in the No. 16 Courtyard... If you want to do it, just think it should be a flower!"

Pawn shop? Pawn shop of No. 16?

Mr. Zhou hurriedly said: "It is not easy for students to conduct in-depth investigations. I heard that a group of people opened a pawn shop, and it is unknown whether the business is good or not."

"Beach No. 16? I remember that the one who said there was meat to eat two days ago was also the courtyard No. 16." Tong Shengchang paced around the house, and gradually smiled, "If you open a pawn shop, the business should not be broken. This is an interesting yard."

...

Since the pawnshop has a signboard, it is impossible to pretend to be deaf and dumb. If you keep a close eye, customers still have to collect their goods.

Ni Jie said this: "If it weren't for a joke, we would have really opened pawn shops. Even when faced with the ragged clothes that refugees were treated as, we should always give two cakes money."

Three of the four agreed with her statement, but Youqing couldn't figure it out: "They are not refugees. They are like us. At first, they only cost 30 cents... To put it bluntly, they are our opponents."

Xiaoxiao's mood was a little complicated. He became more and more difficult to understand the word "Shang" and it was hard to explain it in depth at this moment, so he just said: "Through the observations over the past few days, our opponents have only enclosed two or three groups, nothing more than academic halls, medical clinics, and Xue Cong."

"We also analyzed it carefully last night. These three groups should not be as strong as ours." Xizi also said, "Besides, other customers should also understand our hardships. If we receive goods today, if they cannot be sold before noon, it will be like they are smashed into their own hands. Therefore, today is not so much a receipt, but rather a good deed."

"But the school still manages lunch today, otherwise we can still earn a meal." Youqing couldn't overcome this hurdle.

Although Xiaoxiao didn't fully understand it, he had a road in his heart, but it seemed to be wider and wider: "According to me, there is no need to talk to every customer. It's better to set the price of these goods lower and hang a sign in front of the door. If everyone wants to, come in and act."

"We won't accept expensive things. Why did those people hide good goods? It would be better if they don't accept such ulterior motives." Youqing said more today than usual.

Xizi said: "We can't just say that we won't accept it. We might as well set a low price. Do they like to sell it or not."

"I guess the only goods left are rice, flour, grain and oil," Ni Jie looked at the few people and finally stopped on Xiaoxiao: "How should we deal with so much food? Should we sell it to the villagers at a low price or leave it to Aunt Gui?"

"If it could be sold to the villagers, people would have sold it long ago. Why do we have to go through this trip? It can be seen that the villagers still can't afford to eat white flour and oil, and they can't bear to buy it even if they are half the discount." Everyone thought about what Xizi said, and they kept silent.

Youqing was the first to say: "We have promised to leave half of the money we earned for Aunt Gui, a lot of it. Besides, there is so much rice, flour, grain and oil, Aunt Gui's family can't eat it clearly."

Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at Youqing, as if she saw the other side of the other party. Sure enough, people have many sides. Youqing, who usually looks timid and afraid of things, is actually very good at planning for her own plans.

Although it violated the professional rules of "willing business in business", Xiaoxiao still expressed his true thoughts: "I think so. Let's collect these rice, flour, grain and oil at a low price, and then... simply do a businessman and give these grains to the villagers of Dawangzhuang."

Xizi and Youqing were both surprised when they heard this. They only expressed their calm expressions and nodded with a smile.

Xiaoxiao further said: "These villagers who have been helped can be divided into the following categories: first, people who have helped us, such as Aunt Mifu; second, some people who really need help, such as those who have long been sick at home, or those who are orphans and widows lack labor, and older elderly people."

The other three people didn't say anything, they only smiled on the face of Nijie.

"Of course, this is just my personal idea, and it depends on everyone's resolution in the end. According to my rough calculations, all the remaining rice and grain should be calculated at the cost of not exceeding five taels of silver. I can't tell whether the good deeds of five taels of silver are contrary to the original intention of saving this time." This is the first time that Xiaoxiao felt confused after coming to Dawangzhuang.

Xizi said the first time: "We are not short of these five taels of silver. The other groups of competitors should be far more than these five taels of silver. I agree with this kind of good deed of charity in charity."

Ni Jie said: "I agree, too."

Youqing's expression was a little anxious, and she wanted to convince everyone, but she couldn't find a powerful word: "But... but we are competing with other groups! We have to compete for a good deal for ourselves! Why are you so confident that we have a lot more money than others! People like Xue Cong who have ulterior motives may have secretly saved up a lot of huge silver! Maybe only these five taels of silver will be short, and we will lose! Not to mention five taels of difference, one tael of difference! One ounce is not possible!"

"Maybe I was stubborn." Faced with Youqing's accountability, Xiaoxiao felt unprecedentedly powerless.

Seeing Xiaoxiao retreating a little, Youqing was even more inspired, and then came up with a more favorable statement: "It is a good thing for everyone to do good deeds. We can completely distribute all the remaining silver to those poor people after rating them in school!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xizi was also shaken: "Yes, we can give them more then."

Xiaoxiao was speechless for a moment, and seemed to have touched the answer in his heart, but it made it difficult for him to fully grasp it.

"I don't think so." Ni Jie's expression never became so serious.

Looking at Nijie with a smile, many years later, she will never forget her current appearance, her posture is straight, her expression is tough, and her words are firm.

"In the past three days in Dawangzhuang, our group was one person, one home, and one shop. Everything we did represents our group. After these three days, we returned to our previous appearance. You belong to the Wen family, you belong to the Tang family, and she belongs to the Dantai family. If it weren't for this group, we would have been scattered six people.

"I just think that although our shop is only three days long, we must work hard to become the real shop. In the words of Yingyuan, it is the shop we ideally look like. From opening a shop to making money and saving money, we are all one. No matter how many misfortunes or smooth roads we have walked, we are always one. All the actions of our shop are not just for Xieying Girls' School, not just for Tong Shanchang and Mr. Yan, not just for students in other groups to see. We should have our own ideas. Although it is only three days long, we should run our ideal shop.

"Jiuqing just said that he would do good deeds after paying money. Indeed, this would give the villagers more benefits, but it had nothing to do with our shop. To put it bluntly, our shop will be disbanded after noon. No matter how reluctant and unwilling we are, we will all change from one person to six people. When we spend all the money at that time, it will not be the business of the shop, but the work of the six rich girls in Kyoto. With the financial resources of our families, we will give a few dozen taels of silver to a village. It is really a waste of money, so why should we make plans and discuss it?

"Everyone should be the first time he is a businessman. If he can do what he wants as a shop, it will not be in vain for the trip. In just three days, he should cherish it. As for how much money he has to compare with other groups... it is precisely because of this pressure that he can make a choice."

Xiaoxiao listened to Nijie's words word by word, and his vision gradually blurred. I don't know why these tears were for, because of the group that was about to be disbanded? Is it because of Nijie's thorough thoughts? Or because of the word "Shang" that is getting closer and closer to me, but heavier.

"I also agree that our shop should do everything we want to do." Xizi was completely convinced by Nijie.
