Zhuang Zhou originally planned to keep this solar flashlight for his own use.

After all, in this era, once night falls, it is dark everywhere.

Having a flashlight like this makes it much more convenient to light up at night.

But Zhuang Zhou didn't plan to stay overnight today, and he was short of money.

It would be better to sell it first and bring it back next time.

Moreover, Zhuang Zhou suddenly had another idea at this time.

Next time you come, you can bring some portable solar-powered desk lamps.

There will definitely be a market.

But now we have to raise some money to officially open the grocery store.

Just in this case, Zhuang Zhou doesn't plan to sell this flashlight too expensively.

"Well, Brother Wang and I are also destined to be together. How about this? Just give me twenty strings of copper coins."

"ah?"

Wang Zhigui was shocked again.

Zhuang Zhou thought he thought it was too expensive again and was about to lower the price.

But then Wang Zhigui said:

"Brother Zhuang, you're really at a disadvantage!"

Phew! That was a close call!

Zhuang Zhou smiled and said:

"It's okay. I'll buy more next time, and I plan to sell a lot of these lights in my grocery store."

Twenty strings of copper coins, do you think it’s expensive?

That must be ridiculously expensive!

But this solar flashlight.

It was the result of the wisdom of many generations.

Moreover, it has just been launched in Chang'an City, so it will definitely be sold at a higher price.

In the future, every household will have it.

By then, it can be sold cheaper.

"By the way, Brother Wang, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Wang Zhigui was still playing with the flashlight at this time!

Without even looking up, he replied, "Just say whatever you want to say."

Zhuang Zhou no longer hesitated:

"I want to recruit Ma San to help out in my grocery store. Is that okay with you?"

"It's a small matter! Didn't I ask him to help in your shop today?"

Zhuang Zhou knew that he didn't understand what he meant:

"Old Wang, what I mean is that Ma San will work for me from now on. I'll start paying him a salary, and he'll just work for me."

"This is also a small matter!"

Wang Zhigui waved his hand and said:

"Brother Zhuang, if you need anyone, just tell me. From now on, we brothers will make money together. No, I will make money with you."

After finalizing the matter of Ma San, Zhuang Zhou gave all the twenty cans of tea he brought to Wang Zhigui.

Zhuang Zhou has no market for tea, so Wang Zhigui is temporarily his agent.

He sold each can of tea to Wang Zhigui at a base price of 1.5 yuan. As for how much he sold it for, that was up to him.

Wang Zhigui had a horse-drawn carriage delivered fifty strings of copper coins to Zhuang Zhou's shop.

Why does it need a carriage?

Because this string of coins weighs about six pounds and four ounces.

Fifty strings of coins weigh 320 kilograms.

So you can imagine what it means to be extremely wealthy.

One penny is calculated as 4.5 yuan.

Fifty strings of cash equals two hundred and twenty-five thousand.

How much?

It must be drizzle!

But do you think it’s too little?

These fifty strings of cash can buy seventy-five thousand kilograms of rice.

Zhuang Zhou directly handed the fifty strings of copper coins to Ma San for safekeeping.

The store needs some money, so letting Ma San take care of it can help them see if he has the ability.

Secondly, I just wanted to see what kind of character Ma San was and whether he would just run away with the fifty strings of cash.

It can be said that Zhuang Zhou was a little bit scheming!

I want to test Ma San, otherwise when the business grows bigger, I will face more problems.

"Ma San, I'm handing these fifty strings of cash over to you for safekeeping. You must keep a detailed account book of all the shop's expenses."

Ma San patted his chest and promised, "Boss, don't worry! I will do my best."

It was obvious that he really wanted to perform well.

Zhuang Zhou understood very well that one should trust the people he employs.

Now that you have chosen Ma San, give him a chance.

Even if he really ran away with the money, it would only be a matter of twenty strings of cash.

"By the way, Boss, didn't you say you were going to buy some goods? When are you leaving?"

Zhuang Zhou originally planned to return to modern times after arranging things here.

But it doesn't seem convenient to leave right now.

We have to wait until night before leaving!

Zhuang Zhou thought for a moment and said:

"I'm leaving early tomorrow morning. Let's clean up the shop inside and out today."

"Dele!"

The two of them cleaned up and worked until the evening.

At this moment, Zhuang Zhou really felt a little hungry.

Since I am going to settle down and do business here in the future, I should naturally experience the local culture and customs.

So, Zhuang Zhou decided to find a special restaurant in Chang'an City tonight.

Get ready for a good meal.

By the way, you can also treat your employees to a big meal.

Since we are already in Chang'an, we must try the local specialties!

"Ma San, I'm not familiar with Chang'an City. Choose a restaurant that serves local specialties and we can have dinner together."

Ma San said without thinking:

"Boss, I know a very good restaurant that makes the most authentic specialties."

“Oh, do you eat there often?”

Ma San smiled awkwardly:

"No, I've never been there."

After saying this, his face was full of embarrassment.

How could Zhuang Zhou not understand!

With Ma San's salary, how many opportunities does he have to eat out on a daily basis?
