suspected wife

Qiao Mingjin still remembered the conversation between the father and son of the Yao family and her.

Father Yao was very excited at the time, and after the politeness, he asked directly: "Ms. Qiao said that she can help our family open a shop?"

After getting Qiao Mingjin's affirmative answer, she was extremely excited.Her mouth was trembling a little, and her hands on her lap were shaking.

Opening a shop is the wish of three generations of their grandparents.

As a burden-carrying peddler, how many times have I received so many stares, how many times have my baskets been smashed, how many times have I been surrounded by people to rob things? It can become a mountain of shoes.

It comes and goes in the wind and rain, not to mention eating hot food, and sometimes there is no saliva to drink at the end of the day.

He is so eager to have a shop that can shelter from the wind and rain, and he can sell things safely in the shop...

And Yao Ping's eldest brother, Yao Fu, asked: "Madam Qiao is really willing to contribute to us?"

His second brother Yao Gui asked, "Madam Qiao, can you help us buy a carriage? Let us do business in Lin County?"

Qiao Mingjin nodded one by one.

In the end, Yao Ping asked the point: "Sister Qiao said that in the future, we will count as 100 taels of dry stock? No matter how much our family has accumulated in the future?"

At that time, Qiao Mingjin gave him a very unexpected look.

She understood that this family was all from the background of shopkeepers, and walked around the streets. Although they had seen promiscuous people, and their tongues were sharp, they had never studied, and at most they could only recognize some daily words and Just do the math.

But I didn't expect that although Yao Ping was the youngest of the father and son, he was the smartest one.

Qiao Mingjin replied to him at the time: "Yes. No matter how big your business is in the future, even if the shop opens in the capital, I will not share your shares. At least within three years, I will use the initial investment of one hundred taels. After all, how you operate in the future is your own ability, and I can't be too greedy to share your achievements. After three years, you may terminate the contract or negotiate again. But I have to explain one thing, that is, even in the first few months or In the previous year, you couldn’t earn 20 taels of silver a month, and from the next month, I will also receive 20 taels of bonuses every month, even if you give me the money yourself.”

At that time, the father and son of the Yao family looked at each other.He responded very readily.

It went smoothly afterwards, only the document was notarized in the yamen the next day...

After finalizing the documents, it was a coincidence that Qiao Mingjin learned that there was a batch of old and weak war horses that had come down from the battlefield for sale, so he asked them to buy one for 30 taels of silver.It took another five taels of silver to make a special carriage.

Once you have a car, you will have more goods to prepare.It is no longer a pole with two big baskets.

The goods are more prepared.Now that I have a carriage, I can travel far, and I choose mountain villages that are far away from towns and inconvenient to go to the market.The carriage full of goods was quickly sold out in the remote mountain village.

Then I returned with an empty car, and collected a lot of mountain treasures, honey, leather, wild animals, etc. from various mountain villages when I came back.They are divided into first, second and third classes, and are exquisitely packaged in small bamboo baskets.It was sold out again in Qingchuan City.

It was a huge profit.

Then Qiao Mingjin instructed them to go to the pawn shop to buy some old clothes pawned by others, and then take them home, wash them and refurbish them, and transport them to towns in Lin County to sell them.

The clothes in the pawn shop are not too old, at least they are more than [-]% new, otherwise the pawn shop will not accept them.The clothes that can be used as pawnshops are generally better clothes or leather.Or silk brocade forging.

I have never heard of any pawn shop that accepts coarse cotton clothes.

Pawnshops generally look down on the business of clothes, and not only need special people to take care of them.There needs to be room to store them, otherwise they will be eaten by moths if no one buys them for a long time.

So when I saw someone coming to buy it specially, with the convenience of the two, I only added a little more to the pawn price and sold it to the Yao family and his son happily.

After the father and son took the clothes home, washed them and refurbished them, at least they looked new again.

I didn't set too high a price, I only added [-]% to the purchase price.Compared with buying such a new dress, the price is too affordable.

Some farmers cannot afford ready-made clothes in the cloth store, or some small families want to have a good dress for appearance during the Chinese New Year or when there are visitors. Look at the ready-made clothes that are almost the same as new clothes. , the price was acceptable, so he readily bought it.

Soon the cart of old ready-made clothes was snapped up in Lin County.

Another big profit.

The father and son were very happy.

Take advantage of the victory to pursue.On the way back, I bought all the pawned old clothes from several pawnshops in Lin County, washed them and refurbished them after returning, and sold them to Qingchuan County or other counties and towns in the same way...

After doing this a few times, I quickly saved a sum of money.

Later, Qiao Mingjin saw that old things could be refurbished, so he instructed his father and son to go to the second-hand goods market, or to buy old furniture, old door and window panels, old books, old flowerpots, stones, etc. Everything is bought in exchange.

Go home and renovate them, and then sell them to those who need them.

Those old furniture, if there is good wood, are sold to the carpenter's shop.It's not easy for those carpenters to find some good boards. When things are old, they can refurbish them or make them smaller.

For example, the large and damaged red sandalwood screen was changed into a small board to make a dressing box, and then the peonies and peonies were carefully carved, and then colored. Who can tell what Yuan Lai looks like?

A rosewood dressing box, are you afraid that no one will buy it?

Those second-hand goods were all refurbished or refurbished, and soon sold at a higher price.

In just one month, the Yao family bought two more carriages one after another.

One person prepares the goods at home, and the three go to different places separately.With the carriage, not only the return journey is convenient, but also timely replenishment.

Just last month, the Yao family rented a small shop in Qingchuan County and opened the "Yaoji Grocery Store".

The wish of the three generations of the Yao family to open a shop has been fulfilled.

On the opening day, Qiao Mingjin didn't go.

According to what Yao Ping told her later, his father burst into tears amidst the sound of firecrackers.Sitting at the counter all day and still can't bear to leave...

With Qiao Mingjin's guidance, the Yao family's business has naturally increased steadily.

They all have experience in shipping goods, know what kind of goods to prepare, and what kind of goods are needed by what kind of people.And because the brothers are still running goods outside, some goods that cannot be sold in the store can be sold outside and far away.

In the absence of comparison, those goods that were slightly inferior to the shops in the city, even if the price was slightly higher, were quickly sold in various villages.

And when they returned, they bought home-made wooden basins, barrels, bamboo baskets and other wooden products from the village at a low price, or sold them in stores.

The cost of getting the goods is low, and the natural price is also lower than others.Yaoji's business has been booming since its opening.

The Yao family father and son couldn't keep their mouths shut every day.

Although Qiao Mingjin's capital investment has not yet been recovered, she has started to get dividends according to the agreement in the document since the second month.

Of course she is very happy.

In this way, the rent for her three shops is 35 taels a month, and now, with the bonus of 20 taels a month from the Yao family, she can get 55 taels of silver steadily and steadily in a month.

Even if the carving workshop can only sell one finished product in half a year or a year.She doesn't worry about running out of money.

She invested 100 taels of capital at the beginning, although the entire family property of the Yao family may not be greater than hers, according to the way of ordinary people, she can get more than half of the dry shares.But she didn't want that much.

She asked for 20 taels a month and [-]% dry stocks, which she had carefully considered.In a situation like hers, [-]% is really not much.

Although it seems that the Yao family may not earn 20 taels a month in the early stage.Or all the money earned should be posted to her, or sometimes.One month's business is very good, and another month's business is low.

But she made it very clear that she doesn't care how much business the Yao family will have in the future. She only counts the 100 taels she invested initially. Dry stocks, excluding Yao's.

In this way, it seems that she has benefited in the early stage.But later, the Yao family's business grew bigger, and the accumulated principal of the Yao family reached thousands of taels of silver.Her [-]% share is not worth it.

So the Yao family is still very good at calculating.

At the beginning, Yao Ping only went back for one night, so the whole family discussed it.

Their family is equivalent to using other people's influence to achieve their own business, and she, an investor, doesn't care about their family property, and even posted a lot of good ideas. Where can I find such good things?Why not do it?

So since the two signed the document, the Yao family has been in close contact with Qiao Mingjin, occasionally bringing some food for their wives.

Of course, no one knew about this except Qiao Mingjin.She always has to leave some way out.When Ming Qi and Wan'er saw each other, they only thought that brother Yao was here to beg for water.

She is also not worried that the Yao family will deceive her.

The Yao family will rely on her to come up with some ideas in the short term, and their family has never had any scholars, and they don't have much knowledge, so they still have to rely on her to come up with some ideas for making money.

She doesn't worry about it when the business grows in the future.

First, she only counted the 100 taels she invested in as the principal, and only divided her own money.Secondly, if the Zhou family is there, she can make use of it. How dare the Yao family bully her?Thirdly, after the business grows bigger, the Yao family probably won't take the 20 taels of silver seriously.

Fortunately, since the cooperation so far, the Yao family seems to be an honest and grateful family.If it weren't for Qiao Mingjin's 100 taels and those ideas, how could their family afford to open a shop and buy a carriage?

Yao Ping calls her "Sister Qiao" affectionately every time she comes.

Every time I come back, I don’t come empty-handed.Or some food made by my mother and sister-in-law, or some mountain honey or sugar cakes collected from the mountains, the two children are very happy every time.

Then Yao Ping would sit at Qiao's house for a while every time, and report to Qiao Mingjin about the business of the family shop and the business of selling goods during this period of time.Then get some suggestions or pointers from Qiao Mingjin.

Twenty taels of silver a month is nothing to a family like Mr. Saturday.

But for Qiao Mingjin who lived in Xiahe Village, at least the money would allow their mother and daughter to eat dry rice and stir-fry a meat dish without causing her distress.

And there are three years of bonuses, not bad, isn't it? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
