{Please go to () to read the latest chapter} Qiao Mingjin and her brothers were selling in the city for a few more days, and almost all the inventory they brought was sold out, except for the ones in their hands as samples.
In the past three days, except for Mingjue who took an order for 100 sticks at half a tael from an academy on the first day, three academies later signed several orders with him, but the orders were not big. The four schools totaled 150 sticks.
, both were settled at half a tael of silver. Delivery was required within ten days.
Mingheng's shop in the city has also sold some sporadically in the past three days, but not much. Mainly because it is out of stock, and secondly, the shopkeeper thinks it is expensive and more and more people are waiting to see it.
Qiao Mingjin, on the other hand, visited almost all the major houses in Qingchuan County in three consecutive days. But it was clear that she didn't have the same luck as the first day.
However, we have sold dozens of them. We also require delivery within ten days.
Several people sold non-stop for three days and got a total of 310 orders.
Two hundred and fifty of them were requested by the academy. The rest were sporadic orders made by Qiao Mingjin and Mingheng. Twenty of them were from the Wang Accountant of the Lin Mansion when Qiao Mingjin came to listen to the letter the next day.
Order placed.
Calculated this way, the bulk of the money was earned on the first day. A total of 2,500 taels of silver were collected from Xie Mansion and Zhou Mansion. In the next two days, I only made nearly 500 taels.
Altogether, Qiao Mingjin is now considered to have a small fortune.
With this capital, she can think about the second step of the plan.
This money may seem like a lot of money, but in fact, in the eyes of wealthy families, it is nothing. It may not be enough for them to buy a painting and a pair of jewelry. Naturally, Qiao Mingjin will not stop here, maybe her life has just begun.
In the past three days, Qiao Mingjin did not look for Zhou Fu again.
She wanted to take advantage of this last moment to travel to a few more places. If she could sell an extra handful, she would earn an extra tael of silver.
She had no doubts about Zhou Mansion's ability. As long as Zhou Mansion came up with the plan, there would be no market for them. She never thought of throwing eggs against rocks. Moreover, Mr. Liu was equivalent to buying them out for one thousand two hundred taels.
Her sales were up.
What she sells is nothing more than freshness.
Fortunately, she didn't see anyone imitating the abacus for sale in the past three days. This made her feel relieved.
And if she could sell it for an extra tael of silver, it would be equivalent to her cutting firewood day and night for a month, and selling nearly twenty cartloads of firewood. Even if someone gave her a blank look and a cold reception, it would be better than her cutting firewood on the mountain.
One month of Chai Qiang.
In the past three days, that is, in the afternoon of the second day, Ming Jue went back, and early the next morning he brought Yu Ji's firewood. The others were in the city and did not go back.
After Mingjue came back, he told Qiao Mingjin that He Xiaochun had been working day and night at home with his father and his father's two apprentices.
Qiao Mingjin didn't know how much these three people could do in half a month.
After the orders are delivered, if there are any leftovers, they can be sold to Mr. Saturday and he will make an extra handful.
In the past three days, she felt it was a waste of time to even drink water and eat. She just wanted to visit more places and sell more handfuls.
During these three days, they all stayed at Green Willow Villa.
Mr. Liu was very hospitable. It even made Qiao Mingjin feel that he was a little flattered by Mingjue. I wonder if it was because he was afraid that Mingjue would be angry with his kid after only a month.
The house that Liu Yuanwai tidied for them was extremely spacious and comfortable, and the servants also served them with great dedication. Even if a few of them had dinner in the city and then returned, there would be servants who would prepare late-night snacks and bring them over.
Wan'er is also well taken care of and can quietly let a few girls take her to play.
This reassured Qiao Mingjin a lot.
When they stayed there until the second day, Liu Qi, the youngest son of member Liu, learned that his father had found a husband for him, so he was stunned and had him taken to the village.
For some reason, I had a quarrel with Mingheng, and on the third day I was so angry that I wanted to follow Mingheng to the street to sell abacus. I also wanted to see who could sell more abacus. The one who sold less was the puppy!
You should lie down and imitate the barking of a dog.
Mingheng had always been sensible and would not be easily provoked by others, so he actually accepted Liu Qi's challenge that day. On the morning of the third day, they each took an abacus and went to sweep the streets.
As for Qiao Mingjin, who was on both sides, she didn't know whether Saturday Master had arranged for the shop under his name to prepare abacus production. In the past three days, she didn't look for him, nor did she go to Zhou's mansion.
Every night when she and Mingheng returned to Green Willow Villa, they would see their daughter sitting quietly on the couch playing alone. As soon as she saw her coming back, she would rush towards her.
Then, Qiao Mingjin took one step at a time, holding on to the hem of Qiao Mingjin's clothes tightly and refusing to let go.
Qiao Mingjin also knew that putting her daughter in Green Willow Villa would make her uncomfortable and feel strange, but she had no choice. She originally wanted Mingqi to stay with her, but then she was short of time and couldn't finish the whole trip.
Ming Qi was also arranged to sweep the streets.
At night, her daughter clutched the clothes on her chest tightly and fell asleep in her arms, which made Qiao Mingjin feel a little sad. However, at dawn the next day, she threw her daughter away again.
On the second night, her daughter told her that she would follow her and go to the city to find her father. Qiao Mingjin was stunned, but she did not agree to her daughter's request and left early on the third day.
But she also found it strange that when she was selling firewood, Yue Zhongyao would send people to the city gate to take care of them, and would also go to the market to look for them. But these days, he seemed to have disappeared and no one was seen. This month
I didn't see him returning home after a long break.
Her daughter asked her several times, but she could only coax her every time. She also didn't understand why Wan'er didn't stay with Yue Zhongyao for a long time, and why she thought of him so often.
On the third day of the application process, when it was getting dark, Qiao Mingjin found several younger siblings and was about to return to Green Willow Villa.
Their selling of abacus was finally over. What happened next had nothing to do with them.
A few people were walking on the street, occasionally talking about their respective situations. Liu Qi and Mingheng, who were walking in front, were talking to each other head to head. Sometimes they were excited, and sometimes they would push each other.
Liu Qi is taller than Mingheng. Although she is still half a year younger than Mingheng, but she was raised from a young age and looks like a chubby squatter.
In fact, his facial features are also very outstanding, and his chubby face is quite lovable. It’s just that this child has been spoiled and has developed a character that is not afraid of anything. I heard that you have to give him whatever he wants.
Otherwise, I would act up. I didn’t like studying, I was very playful, and I never completed the homework assigned by my teacher. I was afraid of being punished by my teacher. I would tease my teacher every time, which would make him angry in class.
Mr. Liu had a headache. He had looked for no less than ten gentlemen, but no one could stay for more than three months. His family was notoriously hard to find gentlemen for young children.
Send him to school, where he will either make fun of his teachers or fight with his classmates. No school is willing to accept him.
This made Liu Yuanwai catch Ming Jue, and he wished Ming Jue could live in his house forever.
The child and Mingheng were walking in front, and they were chattering, but mostly he was talking and Mingheng was listening.
Even if Mingheng didn't like him, he wouldn't argue with him. His second brother still wanted to be his husband, so he couldn't offend him. Otherwise, it would only be the second brother who would suffer.
Mingheng was far or near him, which aroused Liu Qi's competitive spirit. The less you make friends with me, the more I will cling to you. I don't know what I am talking about when I am next to Mingheng. Qiao Mingjin
I wanted to ask Mingheng about the situation but I didn’t even ask.
When a few people were walking on South Street, a boy came up to them.
"Ms. Qiao, our sixth master said he would be waiting for you at the reception building."
Qiao Mingjin was stunned for a moment. She glanced at the boy. Then she nodded and led several younger siblings to follow him to the reception building.
In the reception building, Zhou Yanqing and Zhou Wenxuan were sitting in the box waiting for them.
Zhou Wenxuan was a little excited when he saw Qiao Mingjin, and stood up: "Hey, do you have anything more fun? I'm tired of playing with that abacus. Can you do something else for me to play with? Then with a few of my friends, do you have abacus?"
I want it too, do you still have it?"
Zhou Yanqing hurriedly pulled him to sit down and glared at him fiercely.
The child sat down obediently.
After Qiao Mingjin sat down, he said with a smile: "If the fourth young master needs it, just ask your uncle for it. From now on, I won't even think about selling it. Your uncle will definitely be able to make something better, and let me do it then."
Wouldn't it be more fun for your uncle to make you a palm-sized one out of black jade or jade and let you carry it with you?"
When Zhou Wenxuan heard this, he was really happy and stopped pestering Qiao Mingjin. He turned around and shook his uncle's sleeves desperately.
Zhou Yanqing glanced at Qiao Mingjin and pulled back his sleeve before saying, "If no one complains in this month."
Zhou Wenxuan rolled his eyes and stopped talking.
After several people sat down, Qiao Mingjin also introduced his family to him. Mingjue and others also greeted Zhou Yanqing.
Zhou Wenxuan and Liu Qi saw each other right. The three children blinked at each other for a few times, then pulled each other and sat together.
The friendship of children is still simple.
Zhou Yanqing ordered a table of dishes. After everyone on the table finished eating, the three little ones pulled each other and went outside to play. Mingheng also pulled Mingqi out.
There were only Qiao Mingjin, Ming Jue and Zhou Yanqing in the box.
"Your abacus is sold out?"
Qiao Mingjin glanced at him and said: "Yes. Everything I brought has been sold out. I have also received an order for more than 300 handfuls, which are being made at home. There shouldn't be any excess. I will tell them to make them according to the quantity.
Come and do it. It won’t affect your sales.”
Zhou Yanqing smiled and said: "What I'm looking at is not the market in Qingchuan. Besides, I have to admire you. In three days, almost everyone in Qingchuan County knew about the new and improved abacus. I want to
Selling in Qingchuan County can only be done carefully. Within a few days, there will be imitation products at low prices. I don't need to compete for this market. There is a broader space outside Qingchuan."
Qiao Mingjin had to admire his vision. This was the difference between her and him. She had never even been to Qingchuan County. She was incomparable to a child who was strong and had a father to fight for.
Zhou Yanqing glanced at Qiao Mingjin and said, "Ms. Qiao, I'm afraid you're not just trying to make a calculation, right?"
