Chapter 61 Xiaojiabiyu
It was almost afternoon when I came out of the back door of Minglou. Although I was shocked by the emperor who suddenly appeared, I finally took away a little brother. Overall, it was not a loss. After quietly coming out, I took out my beard and stained it with it. After a little disguised, Cao Hua began to walk back.
The alley is quiet and twisty, and occasionally there are naughty boys running by catching summer cicadas.
When the naughty boy saw his uncle with a beard, he was not afraid, but also politely 'mocked' twice.
Cao Hua naturally would not be angry with the children, so he picked up the rattan and beat them, which scared the little boys to escape in panic.
Do you really think that my name "Kyoto Tai Sui" was blown out?
Cao Hua helped the scarf above his head, humming a small song and strolled in the alley, wondering whether to go to the two newly opened shops opposite him to visit.
In the alley, a wooden door in a small courtyard opened, and a woman in a cloth saber poured water out. She looked at the scholar passing by the entrance of the alley and hurriedly called out: "Young Master Su!"
Cao Hua turned around and saw Su Xiangning holding a wooden basin, and walked into the alley: "Miss Su, when did you move here?"
"I have lived in Baibaozhai for half a year. I can't help Yu'er anymore. I moved here a few days ago, but I haven't told the young master..."
Su Xiangning turned around and put down the wooden basin, quickly packed up the messy utensils in the yard.
The yard itself is not big, only three rooms, one main house, the bedroom on the left is the kitchen on the right. In the middle of the yard, there is a earth stove, wooden barrels, dustpans, and stone mills piled together, and you have to walk around. A hemp rope is tied to the window, which is connected to the grape trellis for the yard to cool off. There are some women's clothes, bellybands, underpants, etc. hanging...
The two women lived here, and there was nothing to hide from them. Su Xiangning forgot about it for a while and was just preparing tea.
Cao Hua walked into the courtyard and was stunned for a moment when he saw a pair of red bellybands embroidered by a pair of mandarin ducks.
The three maids in the Hou's mansion did not dare to hang these "dirty things" in front of the young master, and they all secretly slid into the back house to cool off. In order to prevent the influence of his skills, Xie Nuxia directly wrapped her cloth as a tube top tightly. Later, he moved into the Hou's mansion and naturally had no chance to see it again. When he came to this world, he saw the things used by ancient women, and he took a casual look. The workmanship was exquisite but very attractive.
Su Xiangning looked up at the clothesline and suddenly reacted, "Ah!" She hurried out of the house, put away a row of clothes, held it in her arms, ran into the boudoir, her face flushed.
The maid Qingguo was tired and was taking a nap in the house for a whole day, and was buried alive by a bunch of clothes.
A little bit.
Su Xiangning walked into the yard and stroked her hair in her ears in embarrassment: "You are so presumptuous, I... let's go in and sit."
She picked up the copper pot from the kitchen and came to the house to pour tea. From behind, she looked a little red in her ears.
Cao Hua slowly walked into the house and looked around. Although it was not easy to say that his house was barely empty, it was not much better. There were a few small holes on the ground, which seemed to have leaked from the roof of the front yard. It had been repaired with loess, but it was obviously unfamiliar with the technique and could be seen at a glance.
In the small main house, there are painting tables and other utensils, all covered with white cloth to avoid dust. A few musical instruments are placed in the house, and it seems that they can entertain themselves in their spare time.
Not to mention Jin Mingchi's meeting, it's actually a long time since I saw each other. He did arrange a few guys to support him at the Xiaodouhua stall, but Su Xiangning did not open a tofu stall on a whim. He did put in hard work and there were many repeat customers every day.
Business is not big or small, and those who can spend time doing it seriously are qualified businessmen. If everyone in the world goes to make huge profits, the world will be in chaos.
Cao Hua sat down at the table: "I heard that the beans business is good recently, can you afford it?"
As the saying goes, people have three hardships: "staying a boat, smashing iron, grinding tofu". When sleeping at the third or fifth, they only need to make a living by working as a donkey. He actually admires the hardships that a woman from a brothel can endure.
Su Xiangning smiled gently, cleaned the table and poured tea for him, and talked about her own stall: "The shop business is good... Well... I'm still a little tired... It's okay, grinding beans every day is too tiring, and the green fruit can't stand it anymore... Shopkeeper Song often comes to take care of the business. Every time he eats three bowls of tofu, it's the young master who greets him. Thank you... I put on more stuff last time, Shopkeeper Song was so full that he even finished drinking the soup. You tell him that you don't have to be so real... Haha... Uncle Wu is interesting, and gave me the nickname "Douhua Xishi". Now they call it so much, which makes people feel embarrassed..."
He talked about trivial matters in a long while, and he still looked quite happy.
Cao Hua didn't give any advice, he just listened carefully.
After seeing the bottom of a cup of tea, Su Xiangning remembered something again: "By the way..." She walked into a pair of things to look for it, took out a wooden pallet, and there was a support rack underneath, and placed it in front of the table: "The distributor mentioned by the young master last time...I want to try it, but I don't have a shop..."
She was a little uncomfortable to speak, so she sat down at the table, thought for a while and said seriously: "It's really not to make money by making tofu, I like it in my heart, but the food, rice, oil and salt cannot tolerate people choosing... Qingguo can't bear it, and he is not in good spirits. So I thought I could earn a little, but after all, I was called a lady for a few years. In the future, Qingguo meets someone who is happy, and he always has to take out the dowry..."
Cao Hua was quite helpless when he saw the tray. He started from scratch and expanded his business by relying on his skills. Naturally, he understood what Su Xiangning meant: "It's not easy to set up a street stall. I suffered a lot when setting up a street stall."
Su Xiangning came out of Minglou and had no experience in living independently. He heard this and wanted to ask: "Ah... Is there any knowledge to set up a street stall to buy things?"
"Of course there are." Cao Hua saw that she really wanted to support herself, and as a person who experienced it, he patiently taught her experience: "It doesn't matter what you sell... Well, what's up... When doing business, it's important to be clever and able to speak, and you have to see the eyes. Those who pay for money, those who are wandering around, and those who are fat sheep must distinguish them. When encountering a big business, it's enough to make a fortune. If everyone introduces it carefully, it may be that even if the mouth is worn out, it may not be able to make a profit..."
Speaking of this, Cao Hua shook his head again: "Essence is ground up, this thing is really hard to teach, you have to slowly understand it."
Su Xiangning listened carefully, nodded, and sighed quietly: "I know how to deal with people. I used to be in Minglou... as long as you act coldly, you must first keep people from being thousands of miles away, and then at the right time... Well... show some appreciation eyes, and the noble son will spend money like earth... Haha, let the young master laugh at it... But these things will definitely not work in business..."
When it comes to the trick of brothels as an outsider, Su Xiangning's face looked a little embarrassed, but the facts are the facts, and she doesn't want to hide them.
"Actually, this is also a kind of marketing."
After listening for a while, Cao Hua couldn't persuade the woman to entertain people with sex, so he turned to: "It's probably what you meant, using your own advantages to attract customers... This advantage does not necessarily have to be a look. Those who are stronger than others are advantages, and those who don't have advantages will create advantages..."
After explaining for a moment, he felt that it was not easy for Su Xiangning to understand the experience of these old profiteers, so he changed his words: "My daughter's family will find a good family to marry. She has to endure so much hardships and will have to spend money to maintain it in the future. I heard that you and Mr. Lin's family belong to..."
"Young Master Su!"
Su Xiangning's face changed slightly. She looked at the bearded scholar in front of her and hesitated for a moment: "I and him..." She said here. She took a little serious point and looked up and said, "I have nothing to do with Lin Fengyang."
Cao Hua was stunned: "I will see you at noon today..."
Su Xiangning was silent for a moment, and finally shook her head and chuckled: "I was born in Minglou. I did get admired by many noble men. There are also many rumors outside, but... but I am not a woman with aphrodisiacs... I hope... my son doesn't misunderstand..."
Cao Hua smiled and held the teacup and said, "Actually, if you encounter the right wealth, it is best to do it early. Of course, it is not to make you hungry and eat..."
"Hungry and eat?"
Su Xiangning looked at the talented man in front of her, not understanding why.
"Just kidding."
Cao Hua looked at the small pallet next to him and said, "This is how you go to Wanbaolou to get a batch of new goods first and get it done... Well, you just sell it before paying the payment."
Su Xiangning came back to her senses and hooked her hair in her ears: "How can I be so embarrassed?"
"What's so sorry?" Cao Hua shook his head and chuckled: "If you want to do business, you must be bold, careful, thick-skinned, and dare to say, do, and eat to make the business bigger. You are so scared that you will be scared to death by this little thing. In the future, you will not be scared to death by millions of dollars every day."
I don't understand it very much, but I understand the meaning.
Su Xiangning nodded slightly: "Mr. Xie...I'm really sorry for what happened at noon..."
"It's okay."
Cao Hua didn't have the intention of asking in detail, so he drank two cups of tea in the house. Seeing that it was getting late, he got up and said goodbye.
