Calculating this way, I will take 70 large abacus and ten small abacus in the afternoon, for a total of 80 to exchange for silver.
This leaves less than thirty large ones and ten small ones. I should be able to sell them all if I work hard in the afternoon.
In addition, we also received an order for a hundred handfuls from the academy, and an order from the Lin family for eleven large ones and two small ones.
Seeing that everyone was continuing in the afternoon, He Xiaochun said: "Sister Mingjin, I'll rush home this afternoon to do the abacus, otherwise it won't be good if I have orders and no goods to give to others."
Qiao Mingjin thought for a while and then said, "Is your father at home?"
He Xiaochun nodded quickly: "During this period, dad is at home helping mom with the work in the fields."
Qiao Mingjin nodded and said: "Then you drive the ox cart back to your home and take your father to my house. I'm afraid you can't complete this order by yourself. You can find your father. If you know anyone,
Find one or two more. We have to make these plans before others do. Good novel:."
After hearing this, He Xiaochun nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay. My father also has two apprentices, both of whom are from our village. They are very capable, no worse than me, so let's call them together."
After hearing this, Qiao Mingjin nodded and said: "Okay, then you go back and get the people. I will give you the key to the house. We may not be able to go back until tomorrow. If someone from Green Willow Villa comes to get fat tomorrow, you can also help with dressing."
one time."
Then he said: "Tell your father, I won't make the salary low."
Then He Xiaochun blushed and shook his head, saying: "I can trust Sister Mingjin. Then I will go back to my father to finish the work."
Seeing Qiao Mingjin nodding towards him, she stood up.
Mingjue and Mingheng also stood up.
Qiao Mingjin looked at her daughter in Mingjue's arms. She originally wanted to take her daughter to the inn and ask for a room, but no one was there to see her.
As soon as their abacus came out this morning, I'm afraid someone with a vicious eye may have had other ideas. If they didn't try to sell more of it earlier, I'm afraid all their hard work would have been in vain.
Mingjue saw her sister staring at her niece hesitantly. Then she said: "Sister, let me take Wan'er and go to Green Willow Villa to sleep. Member Liu won't mind, there are girls there who can watch her..."
Qiao Mingjin glanced at her daughter, then thought about it, this was the best way at the moment, and nodded.
After everyone left the restaurant, Qiao Mingjin called a carriage to take the three Mingjue brothers and sisters to Green Willow Villa. He Xiaochun went to the city gate to pick up the bullock cart, while she went to the door of a wealthy family alone with an abacus.
In the afternoon, I was not as lucky as in the morning, and I did not receive the order.
However, Qiao Mingjin bombarded her with her selling points, and she used a new and improved abacus to calculate, which was indeed much faster than the current abacus. So she was able to sell a dozen of them.
These are all delivered to your doorstep three days after a half deposit is collected.
Qiao Mingjin was not disappointed when she didn't receive the order.
Even if Mingjue Mingheng didn't sell a few in the afternoon, by the end of the day, almost all of the hundred large abacus and twenty small abacus he had brought were sold out.
This result already satisfied her.
Around Shenshi, Qiao Mingjin went to Zhou Mansion.
That Zhou’s mother still recognized her.
"Ms. Qiao! Long time no see." Mother Zhou greeted Qiao Mingjin.
"Mother Zhou, have you just come back from outside?"
Qiao Mingjin was also very happy to see her. If it hadn't been for her, her first load of firewood wouldn't have been sold so quickly. Now that she knew someone, it would be easier to introduce him to her, and she wouldn't have to wait at the gate again.
"Yes, I had something to do at home today, so I took half a day off from my master and went back home. Madam Qiao, are you going to visit our Zhou Mansion? But what's the matter? Madam Qiao still sells firewood?"
"It's still for sale. Now I'll deliver it to the city every other day. I'm here to sell other things today. I just happened to come here now. I don't know if your family needs it."
As Qiao Mingjin said that, she took out the abacus she had brought with her from the bag she carried with her and showed it to Zhou's mother.
Mother Zhou took it and looked at it and said, "Why isn't it black?" She turned it over and over very strangely.
"Oh, this bead is not round either. Is this an abacus?"
They look similar, but upon closer inspection there seem to be many differences.
Qiao Mingjin took it over and explained it in detail, and also demonstrated it.
That week's mother was a layman, and after Qiao Mingjin talked for a long time, she remembered that this new abacus was fast in calculations and could avoid errors.
That week, my mother immediately became interested and watched Qiao Mingjin demonstrate it again. She was surprised and said: "I didn't expect Mrs. Qiao to have an abacus? You can be a female teacher now."
Qiao Mingjin said a few words of modesty to her.
That week, my mother felt a little moved when she heard Qiao Mingjin say that the abacus was good here or there. Her family got the favor of the master and became the second shopkeeper of a shop outside, and they also had to deal with the abacus every day.
If the speed can be accelerated and errors can be avoided, then her family will not have to be so busy every month.
That week, my mother asked several times. After getting the exact information, she rolled her eyes and thought, if it was really that good, if she told the old lady about it, she might get a lot of rewards.
She happily asked Qiao Mingjin to wait where she was, while she went in with an abacus to report.
Qiao Mingjin watched Zhou's mother trot into the house and smiled happily. She then found a clean place to sit down on the steps under the gate.
The two boys at the door saw the shopping mother talking to her just now, but they didn't embarrass her and just let her sit on the steps.
After waiting for a while, Qiao Mingjin was resting with her chin on her hands when she felt a dark shadow covering her head. She saw a shadow on the ground. She quickly looked up.
Huh? Who is this from the Zhou Mansion?
The character whom Young Master calls uncle on Thursday. I met him once in a restaurant.
Qiao Mingjin still has some vague impressions.
Zhou Yanqing looked at the woman in front of him strangely.
We met twice, both times it was so strange.
One time I was in a restaurant, and I was so miserable from the rain. My hair and clothes were all wet, yet I could still talk to so many men in the restaurant who were taking shelter from the rain, and sell my stuff without changing my expression.
This time, he actually sat on the steps of his house without any image.
Has no one taught her etiquette?
Let alone a woman showing up in public, what's going on now? A woman carelessly sitting on the doorstep where people come and go all the time, just... just sitting on the floor!
But you don’t look like a vulgar person?
She still looks a bit colorful, and although she is wearing coarse clothes, she cleans the floor quite decently.
Strange woman.
Also, what kind of look is that? Look at the confused look on her face, tilting her head, is she wondering where she has seen him before?
This woman is really...
Zhou Yanqing straightened up and coughed into the void.
Only then did Qiao Mingjin feel that there was something wrong with her doing this.
He quickly stood up, patted the back of his skirt with both hands quickly, stretched out his skirt again, and then saluted, "I've met Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Yanqing had previously pretended not to see her and patted the dust behind her butt. Hearing her words "Mr. Zhou" really made him choke.
If there is tea in your mouth, it will probably spurt out.
"Am I very old?"
Qiao Mingjin looked at him confused, while other book friends were reading:.
The young master called him uncle, and the young master on Thursday was called young master. Shouldn't the person in front of him be called master? Could he be young master or grand master?
Zhou Yanqing felt helpless as she looked at this woman who looked confused again.
Said: "I am the Sixth Master in this mansion. You can call me Saturday Master."
Qiao Mingjin followed the good example and said: "Master Saturday."
The man responded with his hands behind his back. Then he looked at Qiao Mingjin and said, "You came to our house, but something happened? Who are you looking for?"
After hearing this, Qiao Mingjin only thought about it for a moment, then took out another abacus from her bag and said to him: "I'm here to sell abacus. I've been to several houses. I didn't come to your house specially.
of."
"oh?"
Zhou Yanqing took the abacus and looked at it again and again.
"This is the first time I have seen your abacus. It is indeed different from the abacus nowadays. You are selling it, but what other benefits does it have?"
Qiao Mingjin took the abacus from his hand, looked at him and said, "Do you know how to do an abacus on Saturday?"
That Zhou Yanqing didn't respond and just raised his eyebrows.
Qiao Mingjin knew that he must be able to do this. Not to mention how proficient he was, at least Zhoufu was one of the top merchants in Qingchuan County, so he should have some knowledge.
He took the abacus in his hand, pressed the liquidator, and calculated the addition and subtraction of Baizi in front of him.
After the calculation, she saw Mr. Liu looking at her in surprise, and said, "Mr. Saturday also saw it. The calculation of this abacus is much faster than the current abacus, and it avoids floating beads and the
Bringing beads avoids the error rate. Sometimes if a bead is dialed wrongly, the result will be completely wrong. Is that true, Mr. Liu?"
Zhou Yanqing nodded.
He took the abacus and looked at it carefully.
"What is this?" Zhou Yanqing said and pressed his hand on it.
The upper beam beads and lower beam beads on the abacus were automatically adjusted to their positions.
"Is this for liquidation?" Zhou Yanqing was momentarily pleasantly surprised.
"Master Liu is indeed well-informed. Yes, this is the liquidator. What do you think of this liquidator?"
"good."
Zhou Yanqing didn't look up and dialed a few numbers casually with his hands.
Seeing that he was happy, Qiao Mingjin said a few more things that were different from the current abacus and the benefits of this abacus.
Zhou Yanqing didn't interrupt her that time, and listened to her sputtering words very gracefully.
When Qiao Mingjin stopped talking, she said, "How much do you plan to sell it for?"
Qiao Mingjin glanced at him and said: "I have sold more than ten houses this day, and I have never sold them for less than one tael. I have also sold some houses for five taels."
Zhou Yanqing glanced at her in surprise after hearing this. Not to mention whether the abacus was worth the price, but how dare this woman sell it for one tael of silver. Where does she have the confidence?
What a strange woman.
ps:
Sorry guys, I'm even late today. I'll try to make up for everyone tomorrow.
