Chapter 270 Two Choices
In the study, Ye Caiping collected some snacks and said, "It seems you have made a lot of money."
Hu Xiaosi smiled sincerely and said, "I made 11 taels! It's all thanks to Aunt Ping's good goods, otherwise I wouldn't have made so much money so quickly."
"So after this batch of goods is sold, what are you going to do?"
Hu Xiaosi felt a little disappointed when he thought that he would have no more stools to sell:
"I've thought about it. Let's continue selling things. Like those peddlers, we sell goods everywhere. We should be able to make some money."
He knew that he could earn 11 taels at a time, not only because he was good at selling things, but also because the goods were of good quality. If you sell other ordinary things, you won’t make so much money.
Ye Caiping nodded: "That's great. You can take some jewelry, beaded bracelets and the like and sell them everywhere. With your eloquence, it won't be a problem to make 100 or 200 coins a day."
"But you are still too young. Even if there is a fool here, he is too obedient after all. I am afraid there will be danger."
Hu Xiaosi and the other man turned pale immediately.
Hu Xiaosan whispered, "Last time when we went to Baishan Town to sell goods, a few street urchins saw that we were young, stupid and dumb, so they wanted to steal our money and goods. It was difficult to drive them away."
Ye Caiping said: "Let me give you two some advice."
"First, rent a small shop in town and sell some groceries, or set up a stall. Don't go around everywhere. Although you won't make much, at least it's safe."
When Hu Xiaosan heard this, he nodded and said, "Xiao Si, let's not run around as peddlers. It's not safe. Let's just set up a stall in our town. It doesn't matter if we earn less!"
Hu Xiaosi frowned and looked at Ye Caiping expectantly: "What's your second suggestion?"
Ye Caiping said, "Secondly, you know that our furniture workshop needs to have a storefront. We have already rented a shop and have made most of the large furniture. We are just waiting to open in August."
"I want you to work as a waiter in the store and sell furniture. The basic salary is 1 tael, and you will get a commission for every item you sell. The commission is 1 point of the sales volume."
Hu Xiaosi's eyes lit up: "What is sales volume and 1 point?"
"For example, if you sell a small tea table for 100 coins, you can get 1 coin. If you sell 10 taels, you can get 100 coins. And so on, there is no upper limit."
Hu Xiaosi understood: "What you mean is that you will give me 1 tael every month. If you want to make more money, just sell more goods?"
"Yes. How about, do you want to come?"
"I'll do it!" Hu Xiaosi was so excited that he almost jumped up.
Ye Caiping laughed: "You agreed so quickly, don't you want to consider it?"
"I won't consider it, because Aunt Ping won't cheat me. Besides, the furniture in the furniture workshop is really beautiful and good."
"When I took the goods out to sell several times, I saw those large furnitures and my mouth almost watered. How can there be such beautiful tables and chairs!"
"Although the small stool is also very beautiful, the workmanship is a bit crude. Compared with those large furniture, one is in heaven and the other is in the ground."
"I thought at the time that if I could move these big guys out and sell them, I would make a lot of money."
"But these furniture styles are so fresh that even without me, even the dumbest person can sell them. Aunt Ping, you're just giving me money for free if you ask me to sell these goods."
By the end, Hu Xiaosi felt a little guilty, thinking that he had taken advantage of others.
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "Letting you sell for the first one or two months is like giving away money for free. But you have to know that furniture can be imitated."
"As long as our furniture is put on the market, within one or two months, furniture stores throughout the city will follow suit."
"That's when people are tested, and that's when you're needed."
There is no such thing as patents in this era.
Even if a company launches a new model, others will also innovate based on the new model.
Hu Xiaosi said anxiously: "Don't worry, Aunt Ping, I will definitely work hard to sell things."
Being able to sell things in a store is much better than being a peddler.
He may not be able to earn as much as Xiao Bandeng at once, but he is young and the store provides him with a safe enough environment without having to run around.
Ye Caiping said, "There is one more thing. Since you are coming, we have to sign a 10-year contract. When the time is up, you can stay or leave."
Hu Xiaosi nodded: "I am willing to sign."
He is still young, it is too dangerous for him to go out there, and he still has a lot to learn. Ten years later, he was only 18 years old, which was the time when he was fully grown.
Aunt Ping chose to release him at this time, which touched Hu Xiaosi deeply.
Hu Xiaosi suddenly looked at Hu Xiaosan: "Then my third brother..."
Ye Caiping said: "Xiao San is not suitable for selling things, and I don't recommend him to go out to work."
Hu Xiaosan said: "I will stay at home to take care of Xiaowu and the others."
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "Then it's settled. Xiao Si will come to our store in August to sell furniture to us."
"Also, although the city is not far from the village, it still takes more than an hour to drive there. You will live there. You will have three days off every month."
"good."
…
After leaving Ye Caiping's house, Hu Xiaosi felt a little depressed.
As they walked on the path home, Hu Xiaosi said:
"I'm sorry, Third Brother, I made you lose your job in the workshop. Now you can't sell things with me."
Hu Xiaosan laughed: "It doesn't matter which of us works. I was promoted to 1 tael and 1 qian in the workshop. You also get 1 tael for working at the front door. Besides that, what other commissions are there?"
"Xiao Si is so smart, it's possible that you can earn three or four taels of silver a month. This makes me feel guilty that the burden of the family has fallen on you."
The two brothers looked at each other and laughed.
They felt guilty and sorry for each other, but in the end all the emotions became gentler in the smile.
…
After the two Hu brothers left, Ye Caiping asked someone to call Ye Fulai.
He was also asked to sell goods at the door.
Ye Fulai agreed immediately without thinking. How could he miss such a good opportunity?
After Ye Fulai left, Ye Caiping rubbed her eyebrows.
"Sister Youtian." Mrs. Zhao's voice came from outside.
Ye Caiping looked outside and saw Mrs. Zhao walking straight towards her. She pulled a small stool and sat down in the corridor, chatting about gossip with Old Lady Ye.
"I'm telling you... don't be angry, that Li Zhiyuan is doing great again."
Old Mrs. Ye, who was picking vegetables, frowned: "Can he still be so successful?"
"Of course not. I don't believe it. But it's true. My sister told me that Mr. Li's family suddenly bought two servants home yesterday."
"They all put on new clothes. Now, they wear silk and satin, eat the best food and wine, and even have servants. Tsk, tsk, I don't know how they made a fortune."
Old Mrs. Ye threw a vegetable into the basket:
"It's none of my business. We just need to live our own lives. There's no need to pay attention to them."
Mrs. Zhao got anxious when she heard this: "You can't say that. A scum like Mr. Li deserves to be hungry and cold, and to have to step on dog shit when he walks!"
That's her fun!
Now that Li Zhiyuan has become rich, her fun is gone!
Mrs. Zhao is so angry!
"Humph, I don't know how this kind of person makes money. God really has no eyes."
Ye Caiping in the room snorted and laughed. Where did you get the money? Of course, it depends on Li Jiaojiao's ability of perspective.
The ability of perspective is somewhat useless to the wealthy Li Jiaojiao, but to the poor Li Jiaojiao, it is a way to make money!
The original book wrote that Li Jiaojiao once went to a gambling house out of poverty and won 1,000 taels of silver by using her X-ray vision.
But because he won too much, he was hunted by the gambling house.
At that time, Gu Han was not lame and his martial arts skills were good, so he drove the people from the gambling house away in just a few moves.
If Li Jiaojiao didn’t have Gu Han’s protection in this life, she wouldn’t dare to win so much.
But it's still okay to win a few taels each time.
As for Meng Tianyi, he was beheaded on the third day after he was captured.
There is no county magistrate now, so Meng Tianyi was sent directly to Prefect Qin.
When Prefect Qin heard that it was Ye Caiping who reported the case to the authorities, he would not delay any longer. In addition, the evidence was irrefutable and even he himself admitted it without fear of death, so the man was immediately beheaded.
