Chapter 184: Chapter 184: The Indiscriminate Trick ([-])
Seeing Chang Xi's concerned eyes, Zhang Yingda's heart instantly warmed up. He has seen too many dark sides of human nature. This kind of warmth makes people want to cry, but he is already a man, so he immediately stabilized his emotions. Let yourself cry.

Thinking of the predicament he was facing, he smiled wryly, organized his words in his heart, and then said seriously, "Actually, selling vegetables is really profitable, but I found that the amount of vegetables I serve every day is only so much, and the surrounding area can I have already run away from the villages I ran to, and I really can’t reach the ones that are too far away.” After a pause, “The ones that are too close will not consider letting me make a middle price difference. They can sell them by themselves, unless I can make a profit to buy them.” The money for a horse cart or a donkey cart may be able to go a little farther, but with the three of us alone, the amount of food is already at its limit. No matter how many we have, the existing guests will not be so many, and the scale can only be so large... ..."

Although they have earned a little money, it is not enough for them to grow their business bigger and stronger. What's more, there are already people who are imitating their way of selling vegetables. If they didn't maintain their old customers very well, they might be snatched away. Business.

As soon as Chang Xi heard it, he knew that Zhang Yingda's business had encountered a bottleneck. Although the economy of Yiyang City was prosperous, the market was only so big, and due to traffic restrictions, his vegetable selling business could be said to be close to saturation. In the autumn harvest, the amount of vegetables received every day is even less, and these problems are emerging one by one.

This business can only be regarded as a practice. It is very difficult to make it bigger and stronger. Transportation alone cannot solve the problem. At present, there are only a few important means of transportation: horses, donkeys, and mules. , Cattle, which one of these is not a big expense?So the reason why this business is profitable, but not many people do it, after all, it can only be a small business.

"Then how do you plan to solve it?"

Zhang Yingda pondered for a moment, and finally could only shake his head and said, "At present, I don't think there is any solution, unless..." He looked up at Chang Xi, and did not continue.

Chang Xi knew what Zhang Yingda wanted to express, which was capital injection.

"You want me to invest in your small business?"

Zhang Yingda shook his head, "I've done the math, this business is already at its limit, and there's no point in injecting more capital."

Apparently, he also knew that the vegetable vendor could only go so far, so he said, "I want to find a new way out." Then a somewhat embarrassed expression appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Chang Xi couldn't help laughing, she understood what this half-grown boy was thinking, but as a businessman, his skin was obviously not thick enough, so it wouldn't work.

"You can say what you think. The first thing you need to do in business is to have a thick skin."

This is not the first time Zhang Yingda has been taught by Chang Xi. It can be said that she led him on this road. Although the merchants are at the bottom of the scholars, farmers, businessmen, but what he needs most now is to make money. Does the imperial examination have something to do with him? ?

After studying for a few days, he knew that he had no talent in this area, and the boy who taught him also said that as long as he could read three hundred thousand, it was enough for his daily use.

"Sister Chang, if I have a new money-making idea, can I ask you to inject capital into me?" He asked seriously this time.

"It's not impossible to ask me to inject capital into you, but I want to repay you." Chang Xi didn't agree without a bite. Things that are too easy to get are worthless, and she doesn't want to cultivate his dependence and inertia .

"I understand." Zhang Yingda didn't play the emotional card anymore, but because Chang Xi said so, he felt relieved. If Chang Xi's hairpin wasn't used as capital, he might still be begging for food in Yiyang City now. Or the unscrupulous relatives in the family sold the younger sister long ago.

There is no free lunch in the world, as long as he proves his worth, he can get a start-up capital, which is already God helping him.

"Children can be taught, so I'll wait for your good news." Chang Xi is very satisfied with the progress of this half-grown boy. After training such talents, he will get twice the result with half the effort in the future.

Zhang Yingda nodded solemnly.

Only then did Chang Xi change the subject, "If you find a new business opportunity, how do you plan to solve the vegetable business?"

Zhang Yingda hooked Zhou Afa's neck, "Leave it to him."

Compared with him, Zhou Afa is even less talented in reading. He can't even finish reading the "San Zi Jing", which is much worse than his sister Zhang Lianzi, so the vegetable selling business can be left to him. .

When Chang Xi saw Zhang Yingda's arrangement, he knew that this half-grown boy had already vaguely figured out how to employ people. For those who have not studied systematically, this is really rare.

She was very satisfied with Zhang Yingda's inspection this time.

But it was getting late, she didn't linger much, just asked Xiaoer to serve some snacks and pay the bill, then she said goodbye and went back home, it would not be too late for them to stay and eat before leaving.

Zhang Yingda didn't try to keep her, knowing that his wife has no freedom, Chang Xi is a unique example, at least his mother can't come out of Master Lu's house at will, all he can do is send her away respectfully.

Zhang Lianzi watched Chang Xi leave reluctantly, after all, she was the only one who really cared about their siblings now.

When the siblings turned around again, they saw Zhou Afa desperately eating snacks. Zhang Yingda slapped him on the back of the head unceremoniously, "Save some for the lotus seeds."

Zhou Afa smiled at Zhang Lianzi with a guilty conscience, mainly because the dim sum was so delicious that he couldn't resist eating a few more pieces.

Zhang Lianzi didn't have much appetite. After all, the sorrow of parting is the most uncomfortable thing. She pushed the snack plate in front of Zhou Afa, "Don't listen to my brother, Brother Zhou will eat too."

Zhang Yingda touched the top of his sister's head reluctantly, and then sat down again.

"Ada, do you really want to quit the vegetable business?"

"Didn't you hear it just now? This road is narrow. If both of us walk, it will be very crowded. Only if I find another wide road to walk, can our two brothers live a nourishing life."

Zhou Ahfa heard that the cakes in front of him were no longer delicious, and he didn't want to separate from Zhang Yingda. Can't everyone just keep doing this business?He calculated that the profit from this business would be enough to support the three of them, and he would be able to save a dowry for Lianzi in the future, so there was no need to open up any new business.

"Bring one or two of your good playmates in the past to help you." Zhang Yingda took a long-term view, "If we want to live a good life, we have to take a long-term view."

Zhou Afa responded sullenly. Since learning to read, the little friend has thought more.

Seeing Fa Xiao like this, Zhang Yingda hooked his neck and said, "You should think about it this way, if my new business doesn't do well, then the vegetable business is my way out, and you guard my way out. Isn't it stronger than anything?"

When Zhou Afa heard this, his eyes rolled. What the little friend said was right. He kept his own business well, so he would not be afraid of any accidents in the future. Once he thought about it, he suddenly smiled heartlessly. stand up.

"Okay, for your words, brother will fight."

Seeing the loyalty of these two people, Zhang Lianzi couldn't help smiling.

As soon as Chang Xi returned to Jiefu, she went to pay her respects to Mrs. Qin, but she saw Mrs. Qin standing on the porch looking at the unclear thick smoke in the distance, her brows were tightly frowned, and Nanny Zhong beside her was also worried.

"Could it be that something happened to Hanshan Temple?"

"Ma'am, there must be no such coincidence..."

Grandma Zhong hadn't finished her words of consolation to Mrs. Qin, but Chang Xi, who came to pay her respects, was blessed and said, "Ma'am, when I came back, I just heard someone talking on the street that Hanshan Temple was on fire. Even the fire prevention team has been dispatched, and it’s a dry day, so I’m afraid the mountains and forests will be set ablaze.”

Qin frowned even tighter now, clasped her palms together and said "Amitabha", and then prayed for the master to be safe and well. She still has a lot of things to ask the master in the future, and she doesn't want such a capable person to die just like that.

Chang Xi was noncommittal, in fact, it would be better for the old bald donkey to die, so as not to harm others.

Mrs. Qin had something on her mind, so she didn't keep Chang Xi any longer, but asked her to go back and rest. When Chang Xi was gone, she looked at Nanny Zhong with a serious face, "Hurry up and send someone to inquire about Hanshan Temple. What happened to the fire?"

Grandma Zhong hurriedly saluted and retreated after responding.

When she turned around again, she saw Qin walking back and forth with a troubled face, and immediately stepped forward to share her worries, "Madam, I have already sent people to Hanshan Temple, Madam, there is no need to worry too much."

"It's useless to worry about it. The master often talks about fate, or maybe this is fate." Qin Shi sat down with the support of Nanny Zhong, "I was thinking about what the master said that day. If the two of you work together, it will be beneficial. If you say this, how can you marry Brother Jin? Doesn’t marry a wife? Is it plausible? If it spreads out, others will laugh out loud. Don’t think I don’t know about them. It’s a joke that I’ll give Jin Geer his wife.” After speaking, he let out a long sigh.

She is in a dilemma now, sending Chang away is afraid that it will harm her son, so why not stay, this will hinder her marriage in the future, is it true that her son will only be with such a woman for the rest of his life?
After all, she couldn't bear to wrong her son, she weighed and weighed in her heart, and finally made up her mind, "This matter can't be delayed, Nanny Zhong, you can arrange it."

Grandma Zhong was startled when she heard this, "Ma'am, is it wrong to do that?"

If the fourth master knows about this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the wife to explain it, and this is a dirty trick, and it will be difficult for the ninth master to explain it afterwards.

"How many opportunities have I given them? But they don't cherish them, what can I do?" Qin said irritably, "Am I willing to be this ugly person? I am his own mother, and I will only do it for his own good, Master You heard what I said that day, and I can't do anything about it, if I have a way, I'll send Mrs. Chang away right away, lest she stay in the mansion and hinder Brother Jin's marriage, isn't there nothing I can do. "

Grandma Zhong remained silent, and if she continued to persuade her, she would be the one who took the lead of the Qin family.

"Just do as I tell you."
