"Hey, it's coming, it's coming!" Yang responded loudly and walked quickly to open the door.
Soon a young woman was led into the courtyard.
"This is my daughter Huo Xi, and this is Aunt Guan from across the door from us."
"Good morning, Aunt Guan."
"Is this a girl?" The young woman looked very much like Xiaojiabiyu. She was very surprised when she saw Huo Xi dressed as a boy.
Huo Xi smiled at her: "This is convenient."
"She usually fishes with us on the water, sells goods, and dresses up like a boy so that she can walk easily." Yang explained with a smile.
The Guan family didn't have any children yet, so they stared at Huo Xi curiously.
Knowing that Mrs. Guan was here to see the fur goods, Huo Xi hurriedly ran to the house to move the fur goods.
While shouting towards the side room: "Uncle, get up soon!"
"Are there any men in your courtyard?"
Guan's face suddenly turned red, she covered her face and turned to leave.
Mrs. Yang hurriedly stretched out her hand to pull her: "My brother is still a baby, less than ten years old. He is still a little kid. He was still wetting the bed two years ago!"
Guan was dubious when she saw half of the older boys walking out of the house, rubbing their eyes, pouting and glaring at Yang, letting out a breath and smiling awkwardly at Yang.
Yang secretly let out a sigh of relief, this scholar is really particular.
Guan was picking through the leather goods, but showed little interest in the pile of linen.
Generally speaking, a family can support a scholar and send him to the capital to study. The family is not said to be rich or small, but it is definitely better than ordinary people's families. Scholars all wear long gowns. Who do you see wearing a long gown made of linen?
?
Well, I can't think of it, even wearing a long gown made of linen is not ostentatious enough.
Lose your face.
Seeing that Guan had chosen seven or eight furs, Huo Xi took a look at her. Seeing that she had a jade hairpin on her head and a jade bracelet on her hand, she winked at Yang Fu.
When Yang Fu took out several packets of brown sugar and candied jujubes, he said to Guan: "Aunt Guan, take a look at the cane sugar from the south and the candied jujubes from the north. They are also very good."
When Mrs. Yang saw it, she enthusiastically asked Mr. Guan to try it, and repeated the same rhetoric she used to sell the goods yesterday.
"Brown sugar boiled distiller's grains and eggs? Is the effect really that good?"
"Okay, it's good. You'll know after you try it once. If you can't get used to the lees, you can just boil the eggs with brown sugar."
Guan put down the leather goods, picked up some brown sugar with her fingers and put it into her mouth, sipped it gently and nodded.
"Can men eat this, eggs boiled with brown sugar and distiller's grains?" Guan asked in a low voice.
Yang was stunned and looked at Huo Xi.
Huo Xi nodded: "Yes. If a man eats it, it can nourish his energy and blood, and it can also refresh his mind and relieve fatigue."
Guan Shi didn't react at all to Nourishing Qi and Nourishing Blood. As soon as he heard that it was refreshing and relieving fatigue, he immediately ordered several one-pound packages: "You don't have any distiller's lees?"
"I don't have any at home, but there are many distilleries in the capital, so it's not hard to buy distiller's grains."
Guanshi pursed her lips.
Huo Xi rolled his eyes when he saw this: "Does the uncle in my aunt's family not drink?"
Guan Shi smiled and shook his head: "I never drink."
Huo Xi expressed her understanding. The men in the family did not drink, and a woman like Guan who abided by etiquette would probably not go to a wine shop where men gathered to buy wine grains.
"If Aunt Guan wants it, my family can help buy some. Our family will also help some families in the alley buy vegetables and firewood. If Aunt Guan still needs eggs, my family can also help go to the village to collect some for you."
Guan's eyes lit up. It would be great if someone really delivered the goods to her door without her having to go out.
"Really? Can you buy it for us and deliver it to our door?"
Yang glanced at Huo Xi and nodded: "Yes, yes. We live in the same alley. You buy goods and I make money. I'm not even happy, so I can't refuse. My family can sell cloth and sugar, and I can also help.
You look for something else."
"Thank you very much."
After Mrs. Guan finished speaking, she looked at the brown sugar in her hand: "I'm going to try some of the recipe that Huo's sister-in-law mentioned just now, and my husband will also eat it together. Please help me buy some distiller's grains and eggs.
Oh, by the way, I want firewood and vegetables too."
Hearing that the Huo family was still selling some groceries on the water and carrying some daily necessities, Yang nodded and took it to heart.
"My family originally only sold goods on the water, mainly to facilitate the fishermen on the water. It was not easy for everyone to go to the city and delayed their work. Moreover, no one was watching the boat at the ferry in the outer city, so my family helped everyone bring some goods. If we are Qiong
Neighbors in Huaxiang, if they need anything, they just need to come to my house and let us know, and we will make it easy for them."
"That's great." Guan was infected by Yang's enthusiasm and started talking to Yang about her family's affairs.
She had just been married for a year, and after her husband took the provincial examination, she accompanied her husband to Beijing to prepare for the spring of next year. If she passed the examination, she would go abroad with her, and if she failed, she would study in Beijing for a few years.
Usually she only does housework at home and doesn't like to go out for free time.
Wouldn't it be great if someone could help deliver all the vegetables and daily necessities to your door, just like hiring a foreign servant? If the daily necessities were taken care of, there would be no need to buy bookboys and maids.
She and her husband had just gotten married, and it was a time when the honey was mixed with the oil, and she didn't want to involve outsiders in the process.
Couples need money to study and socialize everywhere. If they pass the exam, they will have to pay for it. If they fail, they will have to prepare three years of expenses for study. It is better to save a little.
I heard that Yang also went to weavers' homes to collect and sell cloth, so he ordered a few more pieces of cotton cloth.
Yang was very happy.
Huo Xi was also happy. Inadvertently, did her mother bring another business to the family?
Is this a group purchase? Write down the needs of each family in Qionghua Lane, package and purchase them together, and then distribute them? Deliver them to your door?
hiss……
It seems that the shopping habits of the people nowadays are very different from those in her life. In her time, everyone was willing to go out shopping and go out and about, but nowadays men like to be hands-off shopkeepers and ignore the household chores. Women do not like to show their faces.
, If you don’t leave the front door, you won’t take two steps forward.
And the transportation is not convenient.
Otherwise there would be so many salesmen.
Hey, this business seems to be possible, not to say it is better than fishing, but if you can get one more business and make more money, why not?
Isn't this business just about getting bigger little by little, starting from scratch and slowly increasing the number of customers, new customers turning into regular customers, regular customers turning into repeat customers, and then becoming more and more sticky?
hiss……
Yang sent Guan away, and when she came back, she saw Huo Xi twisting her two thin eyebrows and holding her chin in thought, while Yang Fu stood aside and looked at her quietly.
Yang chuckled.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Mom, you brought a lot of business to the family today!"
Yang didn't understand much, and thought she was talking about Guan's purchase just now. My dear, I thought that the other party just came to buy leather goods. In the end, she not only bought eight pieces of leather goods, but also three kilograms of brown sugar, four kilograms of candied fruits, and five kilograms of candied fruits.
A pound of red dates.
How much silver is this? You have to count it.
Thank you all for your rewards, monthly votes, recommendation votes, and all kinds of support. Thank you very much
