Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Liu and the others went shopping once, but came back empty-handed. As a result, they went out before dawn the next day without making breakfast, and just grabbed a few pieces and came back. Mrs. Zhang and the others said that even if they queued up early in the morning, each person would be
You can only buy two pieces, so you can't bring one piece for Liu.
While washing clothes at the well, Mrs. Zhang and the others used soap to wash the clothes in a showy way, washing the dirty clothes cleanly, which made Ms. Liu, who was still using a washing stick, feel heartbroken.
The thing that she first recommended turned out to be a weapon for Mrs. Zhang and the others, which made Mrs. Liu, who prided herself on being a virtuous and virtuous housekeeper, unhappy. Because of this, Mrs. Liu was a little sluggish when cooking and doing housework, which made her husband ask questions strangely.
several times.
How did the husband know that this was all for a small piece of soap?
But Liu still wanted to try her luck.
On this day, after cooking the rice porridge for breakfast, Mrs. Liu hurried to Dongcheng Heng Street before her husband and son finished eating. After walking for two-quarters of an hour, Mrs. Liu arrived in front of the soap shop at Chenshi.
There was already a long queue in front of the soap shop. There were at least six or seventy people waiting in the queue. After hearing from people next to me that you can only buy soap if you wait in the queue, Ms. Liu quickly imitated others and queued up.
Team.
In the team, Ms. Liu heard other people's comments.
"At this time yesterday, the store stopped letting people queue up and said it was sold out."
"I heard people said this soap is very useful. This is the second time I came here today. I didn't buy it last time! The store didn't come out to say anything today. Could it be that there is still stock?"
"Hey, this soap is really in short supply. I can't even buy it. I'm afraid that when it's our turn next time, the store will say it's sold out!"
When Mrs. Liu heard these discussions, she couldn't help but become a little nervous. She came all the way early in the morning and had to wait in the queue, but she must not make her busy again in vain.
As the team moved forward little by little, Ms. Liu stared at a middle-aged man and a young man who were busy in the soap store. She watched them sell out the soap little by little, and watched them go into the back room from time to time to move out more soap.
Soap, Liu became more and more nervous.
Others around him were still discussing indifferently:
"Hey, there are quite a lot of goods today!"
"We're almost here, there's still stock!"
Finally, the long queue in front of her moved away, and it was Liu's turn. Looking at the dozen soaps for sale on the table in the store, Liu knew that she had succeeded this time, and she felt so excited that she wanted to cry.
.
The second uncle Li Dao accepted Liu's copper coins. Seeing Liu's excited expression, he said casually: "Good luck, little lady! By this time yesterday, there would be no goods. Today, the boss shipped a thousand yuan, and the supply is sufficient, so
It’s all in stock now! However, one person can still only buy two pieces!”
Ms. Liu suppressed her excitement and paid for the two large soaps that belonged to her. She felt very good all of a sudden and the depression of the past few days was gone. She left the team with the soap in her hands. Ms. Liu excitedly
Jumped twice on the ground.
Seeing Mrs. Liu being so excited, the people waiting next to her started teasing her.
"The little lady is so happy!"
"Congratulations, little lady, for buying soap! This is a big deal!"
Being teased, Ms. Liu's face turned red. But looking at the soap in her arms, Ms. Liu felt that this trip was really worth it. Now, like Mrs. Zhang and the others, she could throw away the washing stick and wash her hands by the well.
I can wash clothes easily. From now on, I no longer have to worry about dirt on the collars and cuffs of dirty clothes.
Holding the soap, Mrs. Liu happily walked home.

After half a month, Li Zhi collected half of the goods ordered for Cui Wen, and then handed over half of the goods - 25,000 pieces of soap inventory, and transported them to the Cui family's yard one by one. Cui Wending saw it in Tianjin
The soap was in short supply, and I was originally worried that Li Zhi would not deliver the goods in time. Cui Wending was relieved after receiving the goods, and immediately settled half of the payment - and gave another two hundred and twelve taels of silver to Li Zhi.
Cui Wending's payment plus the store's profit of more than 200 taels in the past half month, Li Zhi already has 600 taels of silver in his hands. Compared with the predicament when he first traveled through time, Li Zhi is now a well-deserved little rich man.
With the money, the first thing Li Zhi had to do was to make some new sets of clothes for his family of three and his relatives who worked in the workshop.
Of course Li Zhi had to make new clothes for himself. In the past, when the Li family was extremely poor, Li Zhi wore a shabby cotton coat with all kinds of patches on it. Wearing such clothes, when you go out to discuss business, others will doubt your ability, and you will get twice the result with half the effort.
Now that he has money, Li Zhi wants to make a new set of coats, as well as three sets of silk satin tops and three sets of bottom coats.
With his soap business, Li Zhi was able to wear silk clothes.
Li Xing and his mother Zheng received the same treatment as himself.
However, when she heard that Li Zhi wanted to make satin clothes for herself, Mrs. Zheng looked reluctant and said, "Zhi'er, we just made a little money, so we'd better save some money and let's not make my mother's clothes for now!"
Li Zhi smiled and said to Zheng: "Mom, now we can earn thirty taels of silver a day, how many new sets of clothes are we still short of?"
The Li family is now headed by Li Zhi, and all the money is kept and accounted for by Li Zhi. Li Zhi had not settled the accounts with his mother before. When Mrs. Zheng heard what Li Zhi said, she was shocked.
"Zhi'er, did you calculate correctly? We can earn thirty taels of silver a day? I still believe that ten taels is a mother."
Li Zhi smiled and said: "Of course the calculation is correct, mother, our store now sells a thousand pieces of soap every day, plus the more than a thousand pieces of soap made for Mr. Cui every day, of course there is a profit of thirty taels of silver!"
Zheng was stunned, touched her heart and said, "Oh my God, I never thought I could make so much money!"
Li Zhi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "So mom, don't worry, our family is considered rich now and can afford to wear silk clothes."
Zheng stopped arguing and said slowly: "Zhi'er, you are really promising!"
The three members of the family make silk and satin clothes, while the relatives who help with the work each make a new set of cotton-padded jackets, plus three sets of blue cloth coats and three pairs of white cotton trousers.
These relatives who came to help with the work are all too poor, and some are even poorer than Li Zhi half a month ago. Their clothes are in tatters, and some cannot protect against the wind and cold. It has only been half a month since the work started, and the monthly payment
It hasn't been distributed yet, so they don't have money to make new clothes.
Now they come to Li Zhi's house to work and eat well. Li Zhi also wants to improve their clothes and help them make new clothes so that they can live a decent life. However, these relatives are still blue-collar workers and they can only wear cotton clothes for the time being.
That’s it.
After finishing the work and having dinner that night, Li Zhi asked his relatives to stay in the yard. He called three tailors from Tailor Street, and Li Zhi asked everyone to measure the clothes. Everyone heard that Li Zhi was going to make new clothes for them, and everyone was very happy.
, cooperate with the tailor to measure the size.
The leading tailor was a middle-aged man in his forties. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but said: "Strange! Strange! Where does this good employer come from? You still have to make cotton-padded jackets and new clothes?"
