October 28th.

Although it is cold winter, it is a rare warm weather.

Wancheng was bustling with people, and most people took advantage of the rare sun to relax. The four cities were also crowded with people coming in and out. In addition to those who carried loads, carts, horses and cattle, there were many wealthy families in the city taking their servants to visit outside the city. However, since ancient times, there have been differences between poor and rich families. The rich and powerful families wore fur cloaks, while the poor could only wear thick patched reed winter clothes.

Outside the north gate, a caravan consisting of three carriages and six strong horses came.

There were a lot of goods tied up on the carriage, and one of them was also sitting a tall and thin young man and a teenager about ten years old.

On the six-horse horse, four guards with tiger backs and bears waists and big swords were surrounded by a young man with a calm expression, wearing a linen cloth, a gray wool scarf around his neck, gloves, and a hat made of wool on his head. Next to the boy, a young man in black was carrying a long sword on his back. Several people talked and laughed. After paying dozens of dollars in city tax at the gate, they went straight to the city along the slightly bumpy horse path.

Twenty minutes later, the caravan stopped in front of a two-story wooden building, with four small seal scripts hanging from the Qinghe Store.

Chen Xu sat on the horse's back and left and right and looked under the renovated foot house. The appearance was not much different from what he designed at the time. Even the doors and windows were more spacious than what he designed at the time. You could see the counters and wooden racks inside at a glance. At this time, several people were walking around in the store placing things.

"Hu Kuan~" Chen Xu shouted into the room. A man turned around and instantly ran out with an extremely happy expression on his face.

"Sir Lidian, Kuan thought you wouldn't come!" Hu Kuan bowed excitedly.

"Since I said I was coming, I naturally would not go back on my word. How was the decoration of the foot house?" Chen Xu asked after dismounting.

Hu Kuan quickly led the horse pill to the horse pile at the door and said, "It has been completed, and the last inspection will be completed today!"

"I've seen Lord Lidian!" The few people left in the room rushed out and saluted Chen Xu tremblingly. They were the gamblers who were the ones who were gambling that day.

Chen Xu nodded and walked into the foot house, looked inside carefully, then climbed to the second floor and looked at it. He patted Hu Kuan's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Hu Kuan, you did a good job in this matter. I brought some goods to be sold here today. You arranged for everyone to move in first. By the way, how is Lu Dong's family now?"

"Lu Dong's family is still living in the backyard for the time being. Based on the drawings you drew last time, we have also renovated the backyard, and the house and stove are renovated..."

Hu Kuan arranged a few thugs to help unload the goods, and then followed Chen Xu and walked towards the backyard while talking.

The backyard of this foot house is more than 100 square meters. After renovation, it looks much tidy. The cooking stove is covered with stone slabs, and a special pergola is built.

"Not bad!" Chen Xu nodded with satisfaction while looking. At this time, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl came out of a room. After seeing Chen Xu for a while, she turned around with a surprise face and shouted in the room: "Dad, mother, Lord Lidian is here!"

Soon a middle-aged couple came out of the room. After seeing Chen Xu, they were excited to walk up to salute together and wanted to kowtow, but Chen Xu pulled him up.

"You don't need to be so polite. I'm here this time to come to Yingnuo last time. When the store officially opens, you can work as a helper in the store. I plan to sell some goods, but also sell some steamed buns, buns, noodles, soy milk and other foods. You just happened to have run a foot house and are more familiar with these!"

"Lord Lidian, that... I have also heard of the buns, steamed buns and noodles you mentioned, but we can't make them!" Lu Dong said nervously.

"Haha, don't worry, this time I not only brought you a pastry chef, but also a complete set of essential items such as stone mills and steamers. Liu Dachui..." Chen Xu turned around and shouted.

"Here you!" A slightly tall and thin young man ran in from outside with two steamers.

"From today on, you must carefully teach their family to make various pasta and soy milk!" Chen Xu pointed at Lu Dong's family and said.

"Hey, don't worry, Lidian, I will teach you everything step by step!" Liu Dachui nodded quickly.

Liu Dachui is the son of Youjiao Liu Po. The surname of Liu is a big family in Qinghe Town. At that time, he needed three assistants in the elementary school canteen. Liu Po ​​stuffed his son in without hesitation. Chen Xu naturally would not refuse. Anyway, he was just a helper who cooked food. However, Liu Dachui was still very serious and diligent in his work, so Chen Xu was still very satisfied.

After chatting with Lu Dong's family for a few words, I left the yard. The goods on the three carriages had been unloaded.

One of them carries steamer stone grinding cutting board knives, etc.

The second car was carrying some scarves and hats knitted with wool by women from Qinghe Town, and several sweaters were also included. Although the workmanship was rough and unsightly, it might be sold at a good price in this cold winter.

The third car was the main product of the store. The bales of pottery bottles tied with millet and hemp rope were filled with wine, vinegar and oil, and there were several jars of rice cakes, biscuits, candies, etc. There were also a basket of newly fired porcelain. There were not many, only more than twenty pieces, and the style was relatively simple, just like bowls, plates, cups, but there were some simple red, yellow, blue and green glaze on it, white porcelain as jade, smooth and lubricated, and gorgeous glaze. Although Chen Xu didn't look like it, when he took it out of the millet grass in the vine basket, it almost scared Hu Kuan and a few slutty souls.

"Big...Master...Master, what...this is this...how is this so exquisite..." Hu Kuan's face was dull and holding a porcelain bowl with simple green patterns in his hand. His whole body was trembling, and his tongue could no longer be straightened when he spoke.

"This is just a job!" Chen Xu said lightly.

"Rice... rice bowl?" Hu Kuan and the four gangsters' eyes were protruding and unable to withdraw.

"Yes, this is a painted pottery made from a brand new clay, it's just a bit better! Because it's difficult to fire, all the quantities are a little small, so I'm going to put them in the store as exhibits, and can be sold if the price is right!"

"Sir, it's not just a bit better. This... this kind of pottery is exquisite and smooth as jade. I'm afraid it's not affordable for ordinary people! If... how much does it cost to sell it?" Hu Kuan asked stutterly.

"How many coins do you think are suitable for selling?" Chen Xu thought for a while.

"Ten thousand yuan, at least ten thousand yuan!" Hu Kuan said excitedly.

Chen Xu shook his hand and almost dropped a porcelain cup in his hand on the ground. He hesitated for a while and said, "Is it too expensive? Now a jade bowl is only a few thousand yuan."

"It's not expensive, this painted pottery is so exquisite, white as snow and bright in color. How can the jade bowl be compared? This thing must not be available in the palace. If it were me, I would definitely not be willing to sell it for ten thousand yuan..." Hu Kuan shook his head with the porcelain bowl.

"Okay, you can do this matter. By the way, from today on, you will be the supervisor of this Qinghe store. Take care of it carefully. The money and goods must be managed clearly. Leave the accounting matters to Zhang Quandan..."

After Chen Xu finished speaking, he called Zhang Quandan over and said, "From today on, you will be the treasurer of this store. The money and grain accounts must be recorded according to the careful records I taught you. After closing every day, it must be verified. No one is allowed to commit fraud, do you know?"

The black and thin Zhang Quandan was wearing a brand new linen cloth, with a wolf-skin coat on her outside and a wool hat on her head. Although she was young, she looked extremely serious. "Don't worry, Lidian, I will definitely keep my account well and I won't make any mistakes!"

"Yeah, do it well!" Chen Xu patted Zhang Quandan on the shoulder.

"Hu Kuan, except for accounting, you are responsible for everything in the store. You should also arrange everyone's food, clothing and expenses carefully. All normal expenses must be reported to Zhang Quandan. If you dare to commit false fraud and commit fraud in private, you know the consequences!" Chen Xu looked at Hu Kuan with a serious expression and said.

"Don't worry, sir, Kuan must not dare to have any second intentions!" Hu Kuan quickly saluted.

"Also, take good care of Zhang Quandan. If he is bullied, I will ask you when the time comes!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of him!" Hu Kuan nodded repeatedly.

"That's all for the time being. As for your salary, it's temporarily set to...1,000 yuan per month!"

"One thousand coins..." Not only the four gangsters were shocked, Hu Kuan was stunned for a moment.

"You four follow Hu Kuan to run this store well, each person will have 100 yuan a month. If you study carefully, maybe I will go to Luoyang, Daliang and even Xianyang to open a store next year. Do you understand what I mean?" Chen Xu said to the four gangsters.

"I understand, sir, we understand!" The four gangsters nodded repeatedly, their excited faces deformed. They naturally understood Chen Xu's words. As long as they learned well, they might go to another city to be the supervisor next year, and they could earn a thousand dollars in a month and become rich in one year.

Next, under Chen Xu's arrangement, Hu Kuan and the other two were extremely diligent as if they were injected with chicken blood. They placed all the goods Chen Xu brought this time next to each other. The porcelain bowls were placed on the most conspicuous wooden rack in the house. They could see clearly and clearly when standing on the street. When the goods were placed, the people coming and going were attracted. Many people gathered at the door to watch curiously, and pointed and blocked the street quickly.

"Young Master Gao asked us to look at this foot shop carefully. Will so many people make trouble?" Two young men stood at the window on the second floor of a two-story wooden house across the street, looking at the crowded crowd below with a nervous look.

"I'll watch here, hurry up and report to Mr. Gao!" the older one said with a frown.

"Okay!" Another turned around and went downstairs, and soon left on a horse.
Chapter completed!
