After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

As he said that, seeing Qin Yao about to speak, he hurriedly said: "Don't tell me next spring. No one can say whether there will be such a good business next year."

"You have a big order." Shopkeeper Wu glanced at Qin Yao angrily. As soon as this batch of orders came out, there were water mills everywhere!

Qin Yao was not angry. She drank the remaining wine soup in one go and waved to him mysteriously.

"What are you doing?" Shopkeeper Wu looked at Qin Yao suspiciously, "Men and women are not close to each other, and you are doing it in broad daylight."

Qin Yao really couldn't stand his chattering, so she pulled his head in front of her and whispered in his ear:

"That batch of orders was sent to the south and has nothing to do with our Kaiyang County. I can tell you responsibly that at present, you are the only private water mill in Kaiyang County!"

Shopkeeper Wu originally had an angry look on his face, but when he heard this, his eyes shone with light, he shook his hands off his neck, and suppressed his excitement and asked, "Seriously? Don't lie to me!"

Qin Yao nodded seriously and then began to help him settle the accounts.

"Look, your place has a very good geographical location, with easy transportation and close to the official road. It's not famous now, but in less than two months the entire county will know that the big families in the city have plenty of food and food. carriage."

"In this case, you listen to me and order seventeen more sets and we will put them together. I promise to install them for you before the twelfth lunar month. Then wait until next spring. You won't make a lot of money!"

Shopkeeper Wu admitted that he was moved.

After all, he wanted to seize the opportunity and make the first wave of profits.

Qin Yao slightly curled her lips and added to the fire, "If you want to do something big, do it as early as possible. Now this water mill is exclusive to my Liujia Village. You place the order here first. No matter how fast other people place their orders, they will have to wait until after the twelfth lunar month." You can calculate the time difference for a water mill of this size from site selection to completion and put into use."

"I'm going to the other side of our county anyway, but because of our previous friendship, I'm here to give you a heads up."

Qin Yao shrugged, as if I don't have to worry about selling now.

Seeing that Shopkeeper Wu was deep in thought and hesitant to make up his mind, Qin Yao waved her hand and said, "I'll leave first, you can think about it slowly."

I still have to return the bowl to others.

"Ms. Qin, where are you going?" Shopkeeper Wu asked nervously.

Qin Yao casually pointed to the south, "Just take a look around and see if anyone wants to make a water mill."

Shopkeeper Wu immediately yelled at her angrily and called her back.

He looked up at the baskets lined up in a circle and gritted his teeth, "I'll order!"

Qin Yao smiled, motioned to him to wait a moment, and returned the bowl before running back.

She directly took out the homemade notebook and the small brush and small inkstone she bought specially, dabbed a drop of water, rubbed it, dipped the pen in ink, and quickly wrote down the reservation order for seventeen sets of small water grinding combinations on the paper, indicating the total price and deposit. , as well as the names and addresses of Party A and Party B.

"Okay, if you see that there is no problem, press your fingerprint." Qin Yao took out the ink pad from her bag and pressed it first.

Seventeen groups, the total price is 51, Qin Yao waived the change, the total price is 50 taels of silver, and the deposit is 30% 15 taels.

Shopkeeper Wu took one look and gasped in pain.

Qin Yao kept smiling, she knew that this man was rich.

His water mill charges four cents an hour. In the past two months, he has received more than five taels of silver.

Now that it is time for the autumn harvest, the water mill is running almost day and night, and the capital invested previously will be back in two months.

Where can I find a business that can recover the cost in four months?

Qin Yao said that it was a profit. Shopkeeper Wu felt itchy when he heard it, but he didn't dare to be so casual with an order of fifty taels at a time.

Seeing that he was still stiff, Qin Yao reminded helplessly: "This is not the only river in Kaiyang County. There are so many rivers nearby. Your son and son-in-law add up to five or six of them. If you open a chain store, you don't know how much money you can make."

The delay was a bit long, and Qin Yao was a little impatient.

Wouldn't it be nice for her to use this time to develop new customers?

She has laid out all the ways to make money in front of him, so why should he hesitate?

Seeing Qin Yao's impatience, and having just heard about the new concept of chain stores, shopkeeper Wu took a deep breath and pressed his fingerprints.

"Just wait, I'll get you the deposit." He stood up and walked a few steps, then suddenly turned back, "You come with me, it's really troublesome to go back and forth."

"Okay!" Qin Yao packed up the pens, inks, paper, inkstones and ink pads and went to his house with Shopkeeper Wu.

Fifteen taels of silver were solemnly handed over to Qin Yao. Shopkeeper Wu immediately realized what a gambler feels like at the gambling table: unknown, curious, worried, and exciting!

Qin Yao reassured him that the goods would be delivered to him before the twelfth lunar month.

At this point, shopkeeper Wu could only choose to believe her, but after taking a look at the good business at the water mill by the river, he felt relieved.

Qin Yao didn't expect to be able to take the order back as soon as she came out today. She was in a good mood and bought ten kilograms of good meat and two big bones in front of the butcher's stall, planning to reward herself.

After buying the meat, I passed by a pear stall selling small green-yellow pears.

Qin Yao had eaten one at the patriarch's house before. It was meaty and very sweet.

She decisively paid for it and bought a few kilograms to take home. It had been a long time since she had eaten real fruit.

The main reason is that the taste of these native fruit varieties is very different from the excellent varieties artificially cultivated in later generations.

The peach flesh is very hard and the taste is very bland. The date may be due to the geographical location and is not sweet at all. The flesh is very soaked, as if chewing wood residue.

Even the bayberries are on the sour side. Don’t even think about the big black plums. If a bayberry here is as big as a thumbnail, it is considered to be of excellent quality.

But I heard from the villagers that the peaches eaten by the nobles in Kyoto were picked from the Yaochi in the sky, and they were big and sweet.

Qin Yao suddenly remembered the melon seeds from her gourd. The seeds were exactly the same as watermelon seeds, but she just didn't know if they would be sweet and red when grown.

I vaguely remember that my teacher once told me in biology class that the big, red, sweet watermelons we eat now are only after improvements.

The original watermelon was neither red nor sweet.

No matter what, Qin Yao’s current mentality is that it’s good to have something to eat!

Qin Yao rode her horse back with a full load, and the order was photographed in front of Carpenter Liu, which shocked people.

Qin Yao smiled at him, "Seventeen sets of small sets, delivered before the twelfth lunar month."

She also recorded the deposit of fifteen taels in her account and left two large bone sticks for He who was making lunch, asking her to use them to add extra meals to everyone. Qin Yao went home with the meat and fruits she had brought for her. went.

Being your own boss means being willful!

Carpenter Liu looked at the order, then at the back of the man riding away, and cried with envy.

Carpentry is complex and not as simple and rough as polishing. Several of the group leaders he leads have not yet started their careers, and they don't know how long it will take to become as cool as Qin Yao.

Qin Yao didn't know Liu Carpenter's envy. She bit a pear and sat at the door of her house to watch the scenery and wait for her meal.

By the way, what's the date today?

It's August 1st. Isn't it time for this loser Liu Ji to come back?
