Blissful Days After Widowhood

    After thinking about it, Aunt Ge went to Gu Yin's place to return the steamer, and gave the money from the sale to the past.

    Wang shi ordered copper coins and calculated in her heart, knowing that the other party was very honest and did not pay any money, there was a smile on his face, and he spoke more.

    "You look very nice, so why should you be such a nephew. But I'll be the first to say that, if he comes back next time, I still won't forgive him!"

    "There will be no next time." Aunt Ge quickly assured, and then hesitated how to speak to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in front of her.

    After all, although she thinks of a win-win situation, Ge Dalong's provocation comes first. If she proposes cooperation at this moment, she is afraid that they will suspect that her family has ulterior motives from the beginning.

    Wang Shi and Gu Yin have already started to close the stall, and when they are all ready to leave, Aunt Ge still stands still.

    Gu Yin asked if she had anything else to do.

    Aunt Ge closed her eyes, made up her mind, and told them her thoughts about cooperation.

    "Why don't you come with us, let's sit down and discuss carefully?"

    Aunt Ge naturally responded well, and helped the guy in Gu Yin's hand, and the three returned to Jinyi Lane together.

    Xiao Wuan heard his mother's voice and came out, holding a mop in his hand.

    Seeing someone living there, he quickly hid beside Gu Yin and pulled up the corners of her skirt without making a sound.

    Aunt Ge lost her child at an early age, and is about the same age as Xiao Wu'an now.

    She likes children the most, and hurriedly smiled: "Don't be afraid of good children, I'm not a bad person."

    While talking, Mrs. Wang and Gu Yin went to the stove to put things, and invited Aunt Ge to speak in the main room.

    Xiao Wuan lowered her head and dared not look at her, squatted to the corner and began to wipe the floor.

    Aunt Ge couldn't take his eyes off him, and said enviously, "This child in your family is too smart, he knows how to help with housework at such a young age."

    There is no parent who doesn't like to listen to others compliment their children. Wang also laughed and said, "He was diligent and meticulous since he was a child, but he was a little shy."

    After the greeting, Aunt Ge talked about the real business, and then looked at Wang to ask her what she meant. After all, in her cognition, Wang's mother-in-law is so vicious, and she must be in charge of the family's affairs.

    I heard that her family wanted to help her sell steamed buns and open up the market, Wang was overjoyed at first, and then thought of something, "It's not what I said about the business, you still Discuss with my daughter-in-law."

    While he was talking, he saw Xiao Wuan wiped hard, and he also found a mop to work with him.

    Gu Yin poured a bowl of water for Aunt Ge, and smiled: "My mother is really good, she quarreled with me that day because she was in a hurry. She really listens to me when it comes to business, Auntie Just talk to me directly."

    Aunt Ge took the water and didn't go around in circles, she said straight to the point: "I won't hide it from you, even if it is cooperation, my old man and I are both old, and we can make steamed bread and oil cakes at most. Usually, halfway through the morning market, everything in my house is sold out. If we are rushing to work at the wharf like today, customers don’t have the time to find other stalls, and our products can only be sold for more than an hour.”

    Her aunt took a sip of water, and then said: "We also tried to invite people, but we only set up another door after a few months. Our stall is in a good location, and rent is also good. It’s just expensive, plus Ge Dalong’s generous food and drink... I’m not afraid of your jokes, our husband and wife may not earn as much as yours now.”

    Wang listened to the side and said, "I heard old Liutou say that there are many people waiting for the sale of the good stalls on the pier. If your husband and wife can't do anything, why not Did you transfer the stall?"

    Aunt Ge's eyes darkened, and she told about the loss of her daughter in her early years.

    Although it has been many years, she can't help but red eyes when it comes to sadness, "As long as I don't die, I have to keep this stall for a day. came back…"

    Wang's heart is soft-hearted.

    The Ge family still has hope, but his man and eldest son are dead, not even the "what if".

    She left the main room with her head sullen, Gu Yin sighed softly, and handed the handkerchief to Aunt Ge, "Don't be sad, be careful."

    Aunt Ge took the handkerchief, wiped her eyes, and said sternly: "Don't mention those, I said this to show the little lady that my family is really sincere in cooperation."

    Gu Yin nodded, she just needed such an opportunity, after all, there are still a few months before Xiao Wu'an's beam repair.

    She said: "Auntie is a bright person, and I'll get straight to the point with you. The food we make is not profitable, and only two buns can make a penny. Auntie, how much do you share?"

    Aunt Ge has been eating food for most of her life, how much money can be earned from anything, Gu Yin knows it in her heart.

    But because of her openness and honesty, she couldn't help but glance at Gu Yin and said, "Since your mother-in-law can make you head of the family, obviously you have an idea. How suitable do you think? "

    "How do you feel about 40%?"

    According to Gu Yin's idea, the Ge family has such a convenient stall location, so they don't have to cooperate with her family. Even if the account is divided into five or five, some people are willing. But it's true that their own profits are really thin, and the big spenders are close at hand, so they can't give up that much.

    Aunt Ge's estimate was 30%. What she thought was that although it was easy for her to help other people sell things - there were two companies who came to ask before, but the first one made things that tasted bad , the second one is even more annoying, not to mention cutting corners, the ingredients used are not fresh! There are many stalls on the wharf, and there is a lot of competition. If you change to the first two, you won't be able to earn money, let alone smash the signboard of your own stall. It was Gu Yin's skill that gave Aunt Ge the confidence and confidence that she could achieve a win-win result.

    My family is sorry that others are first, Aunt Ge thought about it and said, "It's still 30%."

    Gu Yin also didn't want to take advantage of others, and finally decided to give up 40% of the profit, and agreed on the number of buns, and agreed to make a contract the next day before sending Aunt Ge out door.

    At this time, Mrs. Wang also adjusted her emotions, "Have everything been discussed?"

    Gu Yin nodded, "I'll give you 40% of the profits. I'll make 100 more and send them to them tomorrow."

    Wang first laughed, and then became worried, "We usually do a hundred or so, tomorrow we will do a hundred, adding up to two hundred, then you can't sleep at night. already?"

    Gu Yin said it's okay, "It's enough to get up an hour early. Besides, we only do the morning market, and I can make up for sleep in the afternoon. Do one hundred more every day, and deduct the profit to Aunt Ge's family. , our family can get thirty cents more every day!"

      The one that was packaged out and Gu Yin's one were far different from one another. After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Wang asked, "Is it because of Wu'an's restraint that you fought so hard?"

    Gu Yin smiled and didn't answer, turned around and went to the stove and brought out the money box, "Mother, do you want to count the copper coins?"

    Wang's eyes lit up when he heard the sound of the copper coins, and he began to count the copper coins happily.

    After counting down, I earned a hundred cents that day!

    Yesterday when she found out that she earned fifty cents of money, she was so happy and daydreaming. Although she was happy after counting today, she was not so enthusiastic.

    "Otherwise, let's forget about Wu'an's education. Anyway, he is so smart, let's find a gentleman, and teach him is always enough." Wang shied away.

    "Mother," Gu Yin looked at her helplessly, "We've already agreed, it's not even a year ago."

    Wang smashed his fingers and counted, today, because of the commotion, they sold a lot. Tomorrow, there will be no big dramas to sing, but when they start working with the Ge family, they should earn more money. Pretty much the same as today.

    If you deduct the rent for a month, you can earn 20%.

    It's already September, and in the twelfth lunar month, the weather is freezing cold, the canals will freeze, ships will not pass, and there will be no business if there is no one on the dock.

    It will only take two months if it is full, fifteen taels are still far away!

    But looking at her daughter-in-law's full of confidence, Mrs. Wang didn't say much, but secretly said in her heart that no matter whether it was successful or not, she would remember it.

    Gu Yin counts the winnings here, and is also making plans in her heart.

    There are a lot of steamed buns made today, if there is no interruption from Ge Dalong, one hundred and fifty will never be sold. Tomorrow, it should be enough to make a total of 200 porridges, but I need to prepare more porridge, especially when the weather is cold soon, I should not worry about selling hot porridge soup.

    The first two days were considered as a trial operation. The most flour was bought, and other materials would be enough. These two days can be regarded as finding out some ways, and the materials that are not easy to be damaged, such as grain and oil, can be prepared more Some, so as not to go out to toss every day.

    As soon as she told Wang, there was nothing wrong with Wang, she first put the copper coins in the money box, and then went back to the house to get back the remaining pieces of silver at the beginning, all returned to One place is handed over to Gu Yin.

    "In the future, the money will be yours, and your brain is more active than mine, and you can use it as you go."

    Gu Yin nodded and said, "Then I will show you the account book every day."

    Wang waved his hands again and again, "Don't, don't, I'll faint when I see the words. We are a family, is it possible that I am afraid that you are not sincere?"

    Gu Yin winked slyly, "Mother, don't talk like that, I steal ten pennies every day, keep you unaware."

    After that, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went out to buy things together.

    Because of the preparation of ingredients for many days this time, the two split up, Gu Yin went to buy meat and vegetables, and Wang was responsible for buying heavier rice noodles.

    After half an hour, the two met at the agreed place.

    The Wang family was fine when they separated, but at this time, she was angry.

    Gu Yin asked her what was wrong, and Wang said: "I went to buy noodles first, and then I went to buy rice, the rice shop was in a mess, I didn't know what happened, and didn't listen to me. Send me away and let me go tomorrow or go to another store to buy. Isn't this bullying!"

    Wang went to Daxing Rice Shop not far from Zhenyi Lane. Two, cheating and cheating.

    There are other rice shops in the town, but because of the good business of Daxing rice shops, similar shops nearby can't compete, and they all open far away, and it takes half an hour to come and go.

    Even if Wang's strength is strong, Gu Yin can't bear to go so far with rice on her back.

    "I'll accompany my mother over there to have a look. If this is really not for sale, let's find a cart and go to a farther place to have a look."

    The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went home and put things away before coming out.

    As Wang said, the Daxing rice shop was in a mess at this time, dozens of bags of rice were piled up at the door, and the guys were like defeated roosters, standing in two rows with their heads drooping. .

    A young man who looks like a shopkeeper is pointing at someone and scolding: "I think I'm a newcomer to be bullied, right? How long have you been in this industry, now come and tell me the new rice and the old rice Can't come out? You are tricking me into being a fool!"

    The leader of the work quickly begged for mercy: "Young shopkeeper, don't be angry, it's not that the little ones deliberately fool you, it's really that the little ones do the work of carrying and entertaining every day. The rest is the front shopkeeper. Responsible. As soon as the former shopkeeper leaves today, the younger ones don’t know why the two kinds of rice are mixed together. But since you can take over the job of shopkeeper, why don’t you come…”

    The price difference between new rice and old rice is doubled.

    The young shopkeeper had a sullen face, and his angry back molars were creaking.

    A lot of people around have been pointing and watching the excitement, waiting to see the appearance of this young shopkeeper.

     "How dare this guy speak to the shopkeeper like this, he will lose his job?"

    At this time, Gu Yin heard it and understood, no wonder the guy dared to chase the guests when he came up, and he was busy fighting infighting!

    Gu Yin didn't want to get involved in other people's disputes, and was about to call Wang to leave.

    But the guy in front of the shopkeeper who was choking suddenly turned his head and shouted, "What are you looking at? Not open today!"

    While the guy was talking, he winked at the others, and several tall men stepped forward, reaching out to push and shove the passersby who were watching the excitement.

    The crowd dispersed like birds and beasts, Gu Yin was thin, and somehow she was pushed in front of the people.

    Seeing the guy stretched out his hand towards Gu Yin, Wang Shi immediately clamped it and scolded: "Just talk, what do you mean by doing it?!"

    The guy recognized him and scolded: "It's you woman again! I said that if you don't sell it today, what are you doing here? Haven't eaten rice in a few lifetimes? !"

    Gu Yin got a little angry when she heard this, "It's natural to buy rice when you come to the rice shop. You don't know how to divide it, I will divide it myself."

      go!"

    Gu Yin is still neither humble nor arrogant, "Then I will only buy what I have divided. Even Chen rice, I will also give the price of new rice!"
