Unexpectedly, the umbrellas sold so well. Qiao Mingjin and Mingyu followed suit and ran back to the grocery store to get umbrellas several times, still carrying Wan'er. Their opponents
Then he went to several restaurants, and in less than an hour, he sold all the 200 umbrellas in Wenji's grocery store.
When they returned to the grocery store, they saw someone selling umbrellas and raincoats on the road. They were not stupid people. People have always been very good at imitating people, and this was really a profitable business.
When Qiao Mingjin and Mingyu returned to the grocery store, Mingheng and Mingqi were already back and waiting there.
Both of them had smiles on their faces.
Judging from the unfinished expressions on their faces, I guess if Shopkeeper Wen had more umbrellas, they would still hold them and go out to sell them.
Ming Qi also complained that shopkeeper Wen had too few goods.
Qiao Mingjin smiled and shook her head. These two children thought it was very interesting.
Qiao Mingjin settled the money for the two hundred umbrellas with Shopkeeper Wen. Based on the price of twenty-five cents each, he calculated five taels of silver to Shopkeeper Wen.
Shopkeeper Wen took the money and smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.
Originally, rainy days were recognized as days when there was no business, and people would just sit in the courtyard and count the raindrops. But today, he not only sold all the umbrellas that he had stored in the warehouse for a long time, but after deducting the capital, he still had three taels left.
Earn money.
From this business, sometimes he doesn't make even three taels of silver a day.
So he didn't feel jealous when Qiao Mingjin and the others counted the money in front of him and faced the pile of coppers and silver coins spread out on the counter.
He also kindly gave them some hemp rope to string together the copper plates.
Qiao Mingjin didn't feel the need to avoid Shopkeeper Wen. Shopkeeper Wen could figure out how much money he got.
Among this pile of money, most of the silver coins were money she and Mingyu earned from sales at the wine shop and rewards from customers. Most of the copper coins were recovered from Mingheng and Mingqi's hawking on the street.
The two of them sold some umbrellas for fifty cents each, and some for forty or thirty-five cents. What they received were all copper coins, which were spread out in a small pile on the counter.
The two children were very shrewd, and they both knew how to read the dishes. The umbrellas were sold at different prices. They were so shrewd that Qiao Mingjin didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
After the final settlement, after deducting the five taels given to shopkeeper Wen, there were still seven taels and two hundred and thirty wen left.
This chicken-and-egg approach was once again a success.
It's just that this kind of money-making job is just done once in a while. I'm afraid I won't be able to do this kind of borrowed money thing again.
Which of the store clerks is not smart and capable? You will know how to do it after seeing others do it once.
Mingqi and Mingheng even discussed it enthusiastically, saying that they would go to the street to sell umbrellas on rainy days next time. Qiao Mingjin just smiled after hearing this.
Not to mention other shops, Shopkeeper Wen, not to mention the rain, will probably let the clerks go out to sell with umbrellas as soon as it gets dark next time.
The shopkeeper has worked as a salesman, so he doesn't know what his customers need. This time, after receiving the reminder from Qiao Mingjin, he is afraid that he will go out more. Only by combining marketing and sales can the greatest effect be achieved.
The aroma of wine is also afraid of the deep alley.
The siblings were very happy to get the money, and looked at the pile of copper coins and silver coins with silly joy. Even if they had to stay in the city today, they were not afraid that they would be without money.
Shopkeeper Wen was also happy for them, and said with a smile: "I borrowed your help today. I also learned a trick from you. I thought about how I used to walk around the streets when I was a salesman, but now I don't want to go out.
.If I have such an opportunity in the future, I will go out more often."
Qiao Mingjin was in a good mood, and it was raining outside, so she couldn't leave. After hearing this, she started chatting with him and mentioned a few more ideas to him.
Shopkeeper Nawen was overjoyed when he heard this. He hurriedly looked around in his shop for something to give to them.
Qiao Mingjin couldn't resist in the end, so she accepted a pound of brown sugar and a pound of dried dates.
Qiao Mingjin was watching several children happily eating dried dates when she heard a voice coming from the door: "Jin Niang! Wan'er!"
In just a moment, Yue Zhongyao's tall and straight body appeared at the door of the store.
"Jin Niang, Wan'er, have you been caught in the rain? I heard someone said that I saw you selling umbrellas. Look, your clothes are all wet. Is Wan'er cold? Come and show me to dad!"
Yue Zhongyao came in. Without any explanation, he pulled Wan'er in front of him and held her in his arms.
Xiao Wan'er is no longer a stranger to Yue Zhongyao. This morning, she asked her father to feed her noodles. Now she was held in her arms by her father, who was staring at her father openly.
"Wan'er, do you feel cold?" Yue Zhongyao held his daughter in his arms. He was very distressed when he saw that his daughter's clothes were a little wet. He hurriedly used his hands to explore his daughter's forehead, touch her neck, and touch her hands and feet.
After finding that her daughter was fine, she turned around to see Qiao Mingjin. Seeing that Qiao Mingjin didn't respond to him, she went to ask Mingyu and others: "Mingqi, are you okay? These clothes are almost soaked. Come on, my brother-in-law will take you to find him."
Let’s change the place and take a rest. It’s not fun to catch a cold.”
Shopkeeper Nawen looked at Yue Zhongyao curiously when he came in. Hearing his words, he hurriedly said, "So you are Yue's family?"
Yue Zhongyao said: "Yes, Shopkeeper Wen, this is my wife, and this is my daughter. These are my brothers and sisters. Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Wen, for allowing these ladies to have a place to take shelter from the rain."
Shopkeeper Nawen was a little frightened after hearing this, and said hurriedly: "There is no need to thank you. If I had known they were Yue Qiao's family, I would have taken them to my house to rest. My shop doesn't have a backyard, and my house is not far from here.
Come with me to our house to rest, have a bowl of ginger soup to go away the cold, and then go back after the rain stops."
After saying that, he led Qiao Mingjin and his party out.
Qiao Mingjin saw that there wasn't even a clerk in his store. He had heard that his son was running the store with him, but he had something to do at home today, so he was the only one there. If he had to leave, the store would have to close.
.
Then he said: "Shopkeeper Wen, there is no need to be busy. The rain may continue for a while, so we can just find a small inn to rest for a while."
Qiao Mingjin was too embarrassed to go to shopkeeper Nawen's house, and they only met him for the first time. Most of them were looking at Yue Zhongyao's face. These days, ordinary people mostly look up to those who work in the yamen, and they don't dare to offend him easily.
Just after rejecting Shopkeeper Wen, Yue Zhongyao could not refuse.
Shopkeeper Wen gave in to each other for a while, then stopped trying to persuade him. He gave the umbrellas held by the remaining people to them all.
Qiao Mingjin took out three umbrellas and gave them to shopkeeper Wen. Shopkeeper Wen pushed them back. In the end, he only took a symbolic fifty cents.
When going out, Yue Zhongyao held Wan'er in his arms, wrapped her tightly in a raincoat, held an umbrella and took the lead to go out.
Qiao Mingjin took Mingqi, Mingyu took Mingheng, and the four of them followed Yue Zhongyao out of the grocery store.
