Zhan Zhumen

At the gate of Nanbei Merchant Store, there are quite a few half-grown girls like Sanya and Xinghua.

Some are almost the whole family out.

But adults who still have jobs during the day, come early every day before the shop opens to help line up, and go back to work after earning once or twice.Only the little girls and boys who have nothing to do, and those old men and women are helping to line up at the door all day long.

A clever little girl like Sanya can earn dozens of pennies a day.Half-grown children are easier to talk to than those fine old men and women. The nobles are more willing to deal with them, and they are willing to give one or two more rewards.

Sanya originally lived in the city, and her family helped others by washing clothes and earning a few coppers to supplement the family income.And Xinghua has been thrown by her parents in her hometown to live with her grandma since she was born. Now that she sees a business opportunity, she hastily took Xinghua over from her hometown.

Although Xinghua earns not as much as Sanya, it is already comparable to an adult working in the city.

"Let's go, I'll teach you how to do it!" Sanya pulled Xinghua and ran towards the entrance of Nanbei Merchant Store.

Xinghua happily ran along, "But the shop is about to close." There should be no customers coming.

Sanya slowed down, "It's okay if there are no customers. Let's just go to the shop to listen to books and music." Free ones don't cost money.She had never heard of a book before!

"Okay!" Xinghua answered emphatically, with joy in her voice.

She lived with her grandparents in the country, and she had never been to the city, entered a shop, seen such a large yard, listened to books, played or sung, let alone watched singing and dancing.

It's nice in town.North-South Merchant is really good!She hoped that Shizifu's shop would continue to open and that there would always be a lot of customers so that she could continue to earn money.

"If there are teas and snacks left over later, maybe we can still eat them!" Sanya took Xinghua and walked a few steps faster.

Before the shop closes every day, if there is any leftover tea and snacks, in addition to distributing to the guys, occasionally they are also distributed to the elderly and children.Sanya was lucky enough to have it a few times, and it was so delicious that she would never forget it for a long time.

If she got something delicious, she would stay and help the guys tidy up and clean the shop.

Today was the same, Sanya took her two younger sisters and Xinghua to stay with her. Although there was no tea or snacks, she was not disappointed. She picked up the broom and helped clean up, cleared the tables and chairs and helped with errands. some small jobs.

Mu Yan came to pick up Huo Xi, saw a few little girls in the shop cleaning hard with brooms taller than them, and turned to take a look.

Huo Xi followed his gaze and smiled.

"These girls are helping people line up outside and earning hard money. They come almost every day. Because they are small, they are often bullied by older children. The guards at the door can't see it and often help, so they come in to help when the shop is closed. Do some little work."

"It's kind of grateful."

"It's not. I just like such sensible girls. The steward and the guys also like them, and they will be let in to listen to books and music every day."

After hearing this, Mu Yan lowered her head and looked at Huo Xi's slightly enlarged belly with gentle eyes.He told the followers around him: "Give them some rewards."

"Yes."

"Bring them some candied fruit." Huo Xi also ordered.

The goods displayed in each storeroom may be damaged or not in good condition, or have some defects due to various reasons. Huo Xi will reduce the price or send them directly to the steward and fellows.

Nanbei Merchant wants to maintain its reputation and grow its business bigger and stronger. In addition to strictly controlling product quality when selecting goods, every link in the storage and storage of shelves must not go wrong.Only by ensuring the quality of the goods can the business continue for a long time.

"Thank you, Shizi and Madam!" The buddy reminded the girls who were stunned.

Sanya and Xinghua knelt down after a few plops, and they didn't know how to salute, so they kowtowed, making Huo Xi laugh.

"Get up."

Huo Xi watched them accept the reward and candied fruit in a daze, wanted to see but didn't dare to look at her and Mu Yan, smiled and said: "Go home, it's getting dark, I'm afraid the road won't be safe."

Sanya bravely raised her head, and replied: "Husband, madam, my house is nearby, and we will be there soon. Don't be afraid."

"What's your name?" Huo Xi felt that this girl was very clever.

"My name is Sanya." After speaking, he still didn't forget to introduce her two younger sisters and Xinghua to Huo Xi.Xinghua looked at Huo Xi and Mu Yan in rapt attention, and Sanya's two younger sisters also looked at them timidly, holding her sister tightly with one hand, and tightly protecting the bounty and candied fruit to her chest with the other.

Huo Xi nodded: "Sanya?" He smiled and said, "It's getting late, take your sister and friends back, and come back tomorrow."

"Yes."

Watching Huo Xi and Mu Yan turn around in a daze, Sanya finally came to her senses, pulled her two younger sisters and Xinghua and raised her voice, "Thank you, son, thank you for your reward!"

Huo Xi didn't look back, the corners of her mouth hooked up, she was a clever girl.

It wasn't until Huo Xi and Mu Yan walked so far away that they didn't even see anyone, Sanya and the others came back to their senses.

"The son and wife are so beautiful!"

Oh my god, they actually saw the prince and his wife!Too beautiful!She looks good and dresses well, like a fairy in the sky.

"Is it Xinghua?" Sanya glanced at Xinghua and her two younger sisters beside her.

The three little heads lit like garlic.It's really beautiful!
Xinghua was still in a daze, did she see the nobleman now?
He looks so good-looking, no wonder he can open such a good and big shop.The madam is so gentle and kind, and she even asked them to give them candied fruit. Although the crown prince didn't smile at them, he asked them to reward them and didn't drive them away.

Xinghua looked down at the bounty in her hand, it was so full that her little hands could barely hold it.

Several people got together and counted, all of them were caught by the stewards, and the four of them were different.But the difference was not more than two or three coins, and everyone got twenty or thirty coins.

After Sanya finished counting for herself, she counted for her two younger sisters, and the three sisters were overjoyed.Putting it in her arms happily, she looked at the candied fruit in her hand: "Go, go home and eat with your parents, brothers, sisters and brothers!"

"Okay, let's eat together!"

The girls waved goodbye to the steward and the guys, and ran out hand in hand.That's great, Mrs. Shizi is a very good person, instead of driving them away, let them come back tomorrow!
After leaving the shop, Huo Xi and Mu Yan went to the Four Seas Bank, and checked the status of the South-North Bank's money in the study room in the backyard.

The Four Seas Bank is one of the largest bank in Yunnan. Almost all the merchants operating in Yunnan deposit their silver in the Four Seas Bank, and every note is clear. This is why Huo Xi has the courage to let small traders owe their money on credit.

One is that some of them have deposits in the bank, and the other is that Mu Yan's people can also find out their details. Most have corresponding mortgages.

"Ma'am, the expenses for the past half month are extremely huge." Gen Qi handed over the account book.

Mu Yan took it: "There is no silver in the shop?"
