The aunt lowered her head and thought for a long time, and then said: "It seems not. We don't know exactly what kind of business the Tian family does, but it is said that the business is very big. It is said that Tian Yuanwai's father insists on doing this Tianji grocery store.
It’s not opened to make money, it’s purely for the convenience of the folks in the surrounding villages.”
Not to make money? This really surprised Gong Jian. He didn't believe it. How could a businessman not pursue profits?
Judging from his expression, the aunt also knew what he was thinking, and she also looked emotional: "Isn't that right? How else can we talk about the benevolence and righteousness of the Tian family. As long as the nearby folks bring their things to Tianji Grocery Store
, they will basically accept it regardless of whether it’s a pen or two.”
"You may think it's just a grocery store, but in fact there are more than ten warehouses behind the store. Other stores would refuse to accept items because of small profits, but Tianji Grocery Store has always refused to accept anyone. Even if they suffer some losses, they also
They will collect the goods first. If they really can't sell them, they will pile them into the warehouse."
Gong Jian didn't expect that there was such a business. He would rather not make money than build a golden brand. "Then I'll go to this Tianji grocery store. When I heard the eldest sister say this, I was really relieved."
"That's not true." The aunt now had a proud expression on her face: "Let me tell you, this field member is a very good person. Whenever there is a family that really has trouble getting through, he will always come to his door for help.
I happily lend a helping hand. Even if there is a village that needs to build a bridge or a road, I will ask the field workers for help. Every time, the field workers will not say anything."
Gong Jian was a little dumbfounded. He sounded like a philanthropist! If the field member said that to this aunt, it would be really strange.
He had to sigh: "This field member is really a good person!"
Hearing his emotion, the aunt next to him sighed: "It's a pity that good people don't die."
Gong Jian was puzzled: "Why, what's wrong with Tian Yuanwai?" Since Tian Yuanwai is so rich, he really can't think of anything else that he can't be satisfied with.
The aunt looked around and found that no one was paying attention to them, and then sighed: "Hey, everything is going well for Tian Yuanwai. But there are difficulties in raising children. Tian Yuanwai and Mrs. Tian have such a good relationship. But these two people have never been together in this life.
I gave birth to a daughter with dementia.”
Gong Jian understood now. It seemed that this field member was not only honest and reliable in business, but also enthusiastic and generous. He was also dedicated and responsible for his family. He was really a good man. As for having a daughter with dementia, he also felt sorry for him.
.
Gong Jian didn't listen carefully to the aunt's next lament. This must be a family matter. At this time, he was more thinking about how to improve his family's financial situation.
So he hurriedly thanked the aunt and walked to Tianji Grocery Store according to the location in his memory.
After walking two streets, Gong Jian saw the entrance of Tianji Grocery Store from a distance. The entrance of the store was very grand, with a simple signboard hanging above the large open door, with a dark wood background.
The five big characters look majestic.
As soon as Gong Jian walked into the store, he saw that the store was full of shelves of dazzling goods, placed in different locations according to type. There was a waiter introducing the products to a customer. The store manager behind the corner counter was lowering his head.
Making a calculation.
Gong Jian walked directly to the shopkeeper. The man felt the light dim in front of his eyes, and when he raised his head, he saw a fair-skinned young man standing in front of the counter.
The shopkeeper observed Gong Jian. He looked to be in his teens, tall and slightly thin, but his eyes looked clear and calm. One look at it made people unconsciously like him. He stopped what he was doing and said,
He said softly: "Brother, what's the matter?"
When Gong Jian saw the manager of this store, he was really gentle. He didn't give anyone the feeling that the store was bullying customers.
He hurriedly stepped forward, took out the rabbit skin from his backpack and handed it to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, do you accept rabbit skins here?"
Only then did the shopkeeper know the purpose of Gong Jian's visit. He didn't have any contempt because Gong Jian was just here to sell these things. Instead, he greeted him enthusiastically: "You can take it. Brother, a piece of rabbit skin, ten
Two cents." After saying that, he quietly watched Gong Jian's reaction.
Of course Gong Jian had no objection. He had just experienced today that a whole rabbit was sold for only ten cents. In this shop, a rabbit skin could be sold for twelve cents. He felt very satisfied.
Yes. So he nodded and simply put the rabbit skin on the counter.
The shopkeeper hurriedly lowered his head, took out twelve cents from the money box next to him and handed it to Gong Jian: "Brother, this is rabbit skin money. Please keep it. If you still have any left, you can sell it to our store."
inside."
Gong Jian nodded. He thought this store was more reliable. Remembering that he would continue to rely on hunting to support his family, he thought that there would be more and more furs from these wild animals. So he asked one more question: "Do you also collect the furs of other prey?"
?”
The boss had already put away the rabbit skin. When he heard Gong Jian's question, he immediately replied without hesitation: "It's collected."
Then he stood back behind the counter and continued to talk to Gong Jian: "I don't think I come to town often. Everyone in the town knows that our owner, Tian Yuanwai, opened this grocery store for the convenience of the neighbors.
.So whatever I have, as long as it’s valuable, just bring it over and we’ll take it.”
Upon hearing what he said, Gong Jian couldn't help but sigh again at the good deeds of this field member. He asked tentatively: "Boss, since you accept the fur, will you accept the whole rabbit?"
The boss was stunned. You know, there is a restaurant in this town. Of course, he also knew that the restaurant was relatively dark, but there were still one or two butcher shops in the town. No one had ever brought these game meats to the grocery store to sell them.
.
But then he thought about it and said immediately: "Don't worry, brother, we will accept these too." After saying that, as if he was afraid that Gong Jian wouldn't believe it, he quickly added.
"My little brother may not know that in the county, our Tianji has a restaurant. In other towns, we also have restaurant branches. But because of the old house, our boss has told us not to compete with the villagers for profit.
.So we only have one grocery store in this town, and we mainly focus on purchasing."
"So brother, don't worry, you can bring the game and sell it. We have a special caravan and we can transport it to other places where it is needed soon."
Gong Jian did not expect that the reason why there is only one Tianji grocery store in the town is because of this reason, and Tian Yuan is indeed very wealthy. It seems that there are many stores in the county and other towns.
