Shopkeeper Nawen has never encountered such a thing. Medical career
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that his umbrella had been in the store for a long time and he had not sold a few of them.
Rich people don't like to go out when it rains, and ordinary people and servants of wealthy families who go out all wear raincoats. His umbrella has been in the house for a while, but he hasn't sold many of it. It is kept in the corner to collect dust.
If Mrs. Qiao can sell umbrellas, he can also make some money. Originally, there is no business on rainy days. If she can sell some umbrellas, it will be some income.
After thinking clearly, he said to Qiao Mingjin: "I won't collect your money first. You can sell it first, and then take it back if you have any leftovers. When you sell the money, we will settle the settlement. Just press a handful of twenty
Give me five cents, and if the price goes up, it will be yours."
Qiao Mingjin was overjoyed when she heard this. She glanced at the people at the door who were taking shelter from the rain in this small grocery store like her, and found that they didn't pay attention to her conversation with the shopkeeper. Maybe it was because the rain was too loud.
Then he pulled Mingheng and Mingyu in to discuss it quietly.
You can't let people hear this kind of thing. If you let people take a piece of the pie, the sisters will have no soup to drink.
Soon the sisters agreed that Qiao Mingjin would take Mingyu to the wine shop to sell, and Mingheng would lead Mingqi to sell along the street.
The prices in wine shops are higher, even if someone buys them for fifty cents, they sell them for thirty-five cents a piece on the street.
After the four of them discussed it, they took out all the umbrellas placed in Shopkeeper Wen's shop. Seeing that the four of them had only received three or four umbrellas each, Shopkeeper Wen hurriedly went into the warehouse behind and picked up another large bundle.
come out.
Qiao Mingjin gave each of them twenty handfuls. In the end, there were ten more, and she and Mingyu took them with them.
"Mother, mother, Wan'er is going too! To sell umbrellas!"
Xiao Wan'er saw that everyone was discussing together, and it seemed that she had nothing to do, so she became anxious! She held on to Qiao Mingjin's sleeve tightly and wouldn't let go.
Qiao Mingjin watched her daughter looking up at her, her big eyes watery, just staring at her with her little face up, as if she was an abandoned puppy.
Her heart softened and she said, "Okay, Wan'er will go sell umbrellas with my mother too."
Shopkeeper Na Wen listened and said: "Little madam, please put Wan'er here with me. It's raining heavily outside. If she gets wet, she might get sick. Don't worry, I will help you take care of her."
"
Just as Qiao Mingjin was about to agree, she saw her daughter's hands wrapped around her thighs, and her whole body was lying tightly on her thighs.
He sighed and said to shopkeeper Nawen: "It's okay, uncle, just let her go with me. Maybe others will see her cuteness and buy one."
Shopkeeper Nawen shook her head after hearing this. This mother loves her daughter so much that it hurts to no end.
Qiao Mingjin borrowed a long strip of cloth from shopkeeper Wen and tied Wan'er on her back, like a backpack.
Xiao Wan'er lay on her mother's back, smiling happily to herself, and said crisply: "Mom, Wan'er help mother hold the umbrella."
Qiao Mingjin thought that she would have to hold twenty or thirty umbrellas, but she really couldn't hold one. Let her daughter hold it if she wanted to, so she nodded in agreement.
On the other side, Mingyu and Mingheng Mingqi were also ready, each holding an umbrella and holding a large bundle of umbrellas. Mingyu was a little uneasy. She rarely had the chance to go out, so she took care of things at home.
, I am really nervous about selling things outside.
But Mingheng is completely different.
He can sell eggs and pheasants at the market by himself, and he can also bargain with others. He is bold, shrewd and lively. It is like being injected with chicken blood. He is very excited. He also said that he would sell fifty cents a piece.
Bundle.
Qiao Mingjin smiled and said, "If you can sell a handful for fifty cents, that's your ability."
Ming Qi was unconvinced and said, "Humph, I can sell it for fifty cents!"
The two twins liked to raise their eyebrows when they had nothing to do. No one was convinced by the other. Without waiting for Qiao Mingjin, the two of them went out first, one behind the other.
"Two people need to be together!" Qiao Mingjin said loudly.
"I know." Mingheng replied and walked out of the store without looking back.
Qiao Mingjin followed Mingyu out of the grocery store.
As expected, Xiao Wan'er held the umbrella handle tightly with both hands and raised it above her mother's head to help open the umbrella. The little thing was very excited and talked happily to her mother.
Qiao Mingjin held about forty umbrellas in her arms, and Mingyu held a dozen in his armpits and held an umbrella. When they went out, the rain splashed on the clothes of the two sisters. The water on the ground quickly disappeared.
The cotton shoes were soaked.
Qiao Mingjin frowned. She had forgotten this.
In this day and age, most people still wear cloth shoes. When it rains, those shoes are no longer suitable for walking. It's no different than dripping in water.
No wonder there is no one on the street when it rains, and no one wants to go out.
How were the rain boots made? Alas, I miss them so much.
Qiao Mingjin only felt that her feet were extremely wet, and her clothes below her knees were soaked by the rain. This feeling was really uncomfortable.
But we can’t back down and turn around and go back, right?
Pedestrians who were taking shelter from the rain along the way were looking at them curiously. The three of them had an unusually high rate of turning around.
Someone also asked them on the road how to sell umbrellas, but Qiao Mingjin and Mingheng Mingqi had already divided their duties and did not respond. They just walked forward and went inside when they saw a wine shop.
Arrive at the Huibin Building soon.
This Huibin Building is twice as big as Piaoxiang Building, with three floors. It usually receives wealthy families in the city. I heard that a vegetarian dish costs half a tael of silver. A meal of vegetables is worthless.
You can't buy dozens of taels of silver.
When Qiao Mingjin started selling vegetables, he did not choose the Huibin Building. This store was so big that it would bully students and make it difficult to do business.
On the contrary, restaurants that are ranked at the top and want to go to the next level will focus on some innovative dishes in order to attract some customers.
But this is not selling vegetables, but selling umbrellas. Rich people don’t want to wait outside, where can they sit comfortably at home in a crowded place?
Qiao Mingjin took Mingyu to the Huibin Building and took off the small Wan'er from her back at the door.
Xiao Wan'er was also sensible and followed Qiao Mingjin closely into the building.
Qiao Mingjin looked into the lobby. The lobby of the store was full of people. Among them were some people with status and status, wearing straight silk clothes and gold and jade hair crowns.
It must be that the private rooms on the second and third floors were full of people, so there were so many people that they squeezed to the first floor. Otherwise, where would they normally sit on the first floor?
When Qiao Mingjin and the other two came in, their skirts were still dripping with rainwater. They were very embarrassed.
A man came over to drive them away.
Qiao Mingjin was just about to say a few words when she heard the voice of a child in the lobby on the first floor: "Ah, I've seen you before! Didn't you come to my house to sell eggs?"
