Chapter 327 Buying People for Safety
Mr. Cheng gave her an address and said, "You can go and have a look. You'll be surprised by how good the business is."
Wen Zhenyi smiled and nodded, then took Axiang to the address he gave.
Ah Xiang was sometimes puzzled: "Master, you have so many ideas, why don't you manage them yourself and give them to others?"
"Human energy is limited. We need friends in this world. Although most of these friends are for profit, they can also bring you a lot of convenience, right?"
Ah Xiang didn't quite understand what she meant: "Won't you earn less this way?"
"I'm making a lot of money. What you're seeing now is just the initial stage of the benefits. By the time they maximize these benefits, I'll be making much more than them."
"Will it?"
"Think about it, I don't have to worry about these things now, and I can still make a lot of money every year."
"That seems to be true."
Wen Zhenyi and A Xiang were talking when they arrived at Mr. Cheng's shop. There were many people at the door and inside the shop. The whole building was divided into three floors.
Each floor covers an area of more than 300 square meters, which is something that only wealthy people like Mr. Cheng can afford.
There were two large doors on the first floor, one with a sign indicating the entrance and the other with a sign indicating the exit, with servants guarding both sides.
When Wen Zhenyi walked in from the entrance, he saw that this was a market with all kinds of vegetables, meat, and some food. You can find them here.
You can see here the dried meat and pickles she makes, as well as the tofu skin made by the tofu stall owner.
Ah Xiang looked at the people walking around the shelves and was stunned for a moment: "Is this a market?"
"It's somewhat similar, but not entirely." Wen Zhenyi said and walked towards the second floor.
The second floor sells some daily necessities, and there are quite a few customers here. Most of the items sold here are daily necessities, such as wooden basins, bathtubs, oil-paper umbrellas, etc.
The third floor sells clothing. Here you can buy ready-made clothes, rouge and powder, perfume, some beautiful silk flowers and hairbands, etc.
The size of the clothes can also be modified by the embroiderers in the store after purchase, which is very convenient for customers to buy, and there are also a wide variety of styles.
Ah Xiang was also impressed: "It's so convenient to buy things here."
"This is a one-stop shopping place. Whatever you need or want to buy, it can be satisfied here."
"What if there isn't one?"
"If you don't find what you want here, you can tell the clerk in the store, and he will write it down and tell the store owner."
"Master, how much money do you make in a day?"
Wen Zhenyi looked at the shop with a smile. It could be said that there were quite a few customers on each floor. "It depends on how he runs the business."
Ah Xiang saw Butler Tong not far away: "Master, isn't that Butler Tong?"
Wen Zhenyi looked in the direction she said, and it was indeed Butler Tong. He was choosing some bedding, but he was a little undecided.
"Butler Tong."
"Miss." Butler Tong smiled immediately when he saw her.
"I see you've been choosing for a long time. Is there something wrong?"
"No, here we have silk and cotton. I don't know what you like, and I don't know how to choose."
"Just buy us some cotton."
"Okay, I understand."
"You don't have so much stuff, can you take it back?"
"The store will help send it back. It's much more convenient to buy things here without having to run around."
"That's right, is there anyone who needs my help?"
"No, no, I can handle these little things. Miss, do you want to buy anything?"
"We just came here to look around out of curiosity."
"Then I'll finish shopping first. If you're not in a hurry, wait for me and I'll take you shopping later."
"No hurry, you go ahead."
Wen Zhenyi looked at other things from the side and also wanted to see how Butler Tong behaved. After all, their family was the only one left in this house.
She knew nothing about their background.
Ah Xiang was also observing carefully from the side: "Master, this housekeeper Tong is very organized and is very careful in buying things."
"Well, he's a steady person."
Butler Tong had no idea whether they were looking at him or were simply doing his job seriously.
Wen Zhenyi waited until he had finished buying everything before speaking to him, "Has Butler Tong always been in this house?"
"Well, I'm the son of the former owner of the house. When the master was convicted, we were all going to be sold off together. But then the county magistrate decided that someone had to take care of the house, so he let us stay and gave us some money to support ourselves."
"Can't this confiscated house be sold?"
"That's no longer clear to us."
"Can you tell us about any fun places around this county?"
"There's a temple three kilometers outside the county town. I heard it's quite effective, and the vegetarian food there is also very delicious."
"Is it vegetarian?"
"Well, the crabapple blossoms should be in bloom this season. There's a crabapple forest east of the county town."
"Now that you mention it, there are still many fun places in the county town."
"Miss, if you can still have lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the county town will be filled with beautiful lanterns, and it will be very lively. There will also be many jugglers setting up stalls here."
After listening to Butler Tong's introduction, Wen Zhenyi found that there were quite a lot of places to visit in the county town, so he could take this opportunity to look around.
She said something to housekeeper Tong and went to her aunt's shop.
The business of the store is now better than before, which makes my aunt and others too busy to handle it, and they are planning to hire more people.
Wen Zhenyi and A Xiang also hurried to the store to help, which relieved their pressure a lot.
Old Ma sat on a stool in the yard and pounded her waist: "I am worried whether the business is good or bad."
"Grandma, if you're too busy, just hire two people. Don't make yourself sick from working yourself to death."
"We thought so too. I was discussing with your grandfather today whether to buy two people or hire two people."
"Anything is fine."
Ma Yuruo heard this and said, "It's safer to hire someone. If the person we hire has bad intentions, he might steal all our prescriptions."
Mrs. Ma nodded and said, "That's right." Then she thought of something else: "But where will the person who bought it live?"
The Ma family doesn't have many rooms now, and there is only one empty room in the house, which is reserved for Wen Zhenyi and others to live in when they come, although they don't need to live at home now.
She also needs to prepare a room for her great-grandson in the future. He can't sleep together with his parents.
