Chapter 291 Business is booming
Ke Yunyun said angrily, "We are husband and wife, why do we have to care so much? If you feel bad, you can put the house in my name and count it as my dowry, how about that?"
"Of course. I originally wanted to put the house under Acheng's name, but it's the same if it's under your name." Tang Yu looked sincere.
Ke Yunyun was a little overwhelmed, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have..."
Tang Yu smiled knowingly, "I know what you are worried about. In my opinion, it is safer for the house to be under Ah Cheng's name, and it can also avoid a lot of trouble."
Ke Yunyun nodded, "The house will be owned by Tang Chengming."
The group got the title deed and keys from Guan Ya and went to the yard immediately.
Xiaoxi rolled up her sleeves and started to work quickly, while the man helped unload the luggage.
Su Chuan settled the bill with the driver and sent them away. As soon as the gate was closed, everyone immediately took off their disguises and collapsed exhaustedly on the stools in the main room.
Tang Yu said slowly, "There are some old furniture in the yard. I'll take a look later. We'll keep the ones that are usable and clean up the ones that are not. We'll buy new ones. I'm afraid the next few days will be very busy. I'll go out and find a job after I've settled all the things at home."
Ke Yunyun nodded obediently.
Seeing Tang Yu busying himself, Su Chuan lowered his voice and said, "Cousin, Tang Yu is a good person, open-minded, honest, and sincere to Tang Cheng. Now that the house is under Tang Cheng's name, if you can, give him a child, so that he will not be in vain for his sincere love for you and your son."
Ke Yunyun nodded heavily. In fact, she had thought about this matter a long time ago, but she just couldn't make up her mind. She could start preparing once their family life became stable.
The next day, Tang Yu was busy cleaning the house, and Su Chuan took Su Zhan out to inquire about shops.
The things they brought out have not been sold yet, and they should be able to buy more in the emperor.
As soon as they left, Ke Yunyun began to worry and said to Xiaoxi, "I don't know if the goods my cousin brought can be sold."
Xiao Xi was happy, "Sister, even if you don't believe them, you should believe my sister. Nothing she sells is bad. Look, we don't wear clothes made of any other material except cotton. There are always people in the imperial capital who know the value of things."
She has also been in business and has more experience than Ke Yunyun.
After hearing what Xiaoxi said, Ke Yunyun was no longer hesitant.
Time always passes especially quickly when working, and in the blink of an eye it was dark. When the Su Chuan brothers came in, they looked radiant and it was obvious that they had good news.
Tang Yu raised his eyebrows and joked, "It looks like my uncle has gained a lot!"
"Hahaha," Su Chuan laughed, "You really got it right. Today we pulled a cart of candy out, and originally wanted to sell it to a shop, but the shop owner kept trying to lower the price. Ah Zhan got so angry that he argued with him, and he simply refused to buy anything.
We had no choice but to go from street to street hawking our wares, hoping to sell as much as possible and inquire about the market prices. But the first person who opened the door sold 20 kilograms in one go, without even bargaining.
We sold 500 kilograms of brown sugar in that alley! We sold it for 300 wen per kilogram, which was nearly half the price of our place, but people didn't hesitate at all.
Tomorrow we plan to continue hawking in the alleys nearby and try to sell all the remaining brown sugar, and then do the cotton cloth business."
Tang Yu congratulated repeatedly.
Ke Yunyun was also happy for them.
In the next few days, Su Chuan and Su Zhan went out early and came back late, and the goods in the house became less and less.
By the time Tang Yu had dealt with the matters at the house, Su Chuan and Su Zhan had also sold out the brown sugar cotton cloth.
The next thing to be sold is jade.
Jade is an unusual thing. Even in the imperial capital, there are only a few shops that know about this business. Moreover, the merchants doing this kind of business are very deep and shrewd, and they speak very carefully. They used many methods to roughly understand the price of jade, and couldn't help but sigh, there are so many tricks here!
In order to sell the jade at a good price, they do not plan to go directly to the door to ask the price, but choose to set up a stall on the antique street so that they can take the initiative in the buying and selling.
Tang Yu went out to look for work, and happened to see Su Chuan bargaining with a middle-aged man in elegant clothes on the street. He immediately walked over and said, "Meet the clerk Yu."
Yu Shuli turned around and looked at Tang Yu with a bit more surprise in his eyes, "Aren't you the one who just went to the government office to look for a job? Why? Are you also interested in jade?"
Tang Yu bowed respectfully and said, "This is my uncle."
Yu Shuli suddenly realized and laughed, "So you two are a family!"
When Su Chuan heard this, he hurriedly said, "Since he is my brother-in-law's friend, we won't insist. Just pay him according to the price Yu Shuli said."
"This is inappropriate!" Yu Shuli really liked the jade and wanted to buy it to carve a seal. However, his salary was limited, so he had to bargain with Su Chuan. He thought it would be impossible to succeed, but unexpectedly there was a sudden turn of events. For a moment, he was excited and nervous, and also felt like he had won a pie in the sky.
Su Chuan immediately helped Yu Shuli pack it up and handed it to him politely, "There's nothing wrong with it. This is our first time doing business today. We don't know the price of jade, so we just rely on the price we got from asking around. Since Yu Shuli is familiar with my brother-in-law, we are friends, and friends don't need to care so much."
This made people feel comfortable. Yu Shuli stopped being pretentious, took the things, paid for them, and said to Su Chuan, "You'd better go to the east of the city to sell jade. It's easier to sell there. Although there are many jade sellers on the Antique Street, there are not as many nobles coming here as in the east of the city."
Su Chuan was overjoyed and hurried to thank him.
The two of them immediately moved their positions.
That evening.
Su Chuan and Su Zhan came back with happy faces.
"Brother-in-law, what Yu Shuli said was right. There are indeed many rich people in the east of the city. I thought only scholars and literati liked to play with jade, but I didn't expect that the daughters of wealthy families and businessmen also like it. The box of jade I brought out today has been sold out. Someone has made an appointment to come to your house tomorrow to look at the goods. He wants a large piece."
Tang Yu was very happy. "Congratulations, my uncle's business is booming! I also want to share a piece of good news with you. Thanks to your help today, Yu Shuli helped me to say hello to the government office, and I can go in and do my job now."
"Huh? There is such a good thing?" Su Zhan was a little surprised.
Tang Yu nodded with a smile, "In fact, the government office recruits some people who can read and write to do work every year, from clerks like Yu Shuli to small clerks who take inventory in the warehouse. There are still many things they can do.
I don't have any requirements, I just want to find a job to earn money. This is just a matter of talking to the clerk. He said, "I can start work tomorrow. I will mainly help the clerk in the government office, do some trivial work, and get a salary of one tael of silver a month."
"One or two taels of silver is not a small amount!" Su Zhan was very envious and regretted again that he had not let his child learn to read and write with Tang Yu.
