Chapter 16: Sasaeng Fans
Hu Xiner's eyes twitched, and she subconsciously thought that maybe Li Sangui was unwilling to let them leave, but then she changed her mind and thought that Li Sangui was an honest man and would not do such a despicable thing.
"We are homeless now, and we'd like to trouble Brother Li to take us in for a while."
Hu Xiner did not hide it. They could not stay in this pork shop forever to buy pork for Li Sangui. Li Sangui also understood this, so he asked about their plans.
Upon hearing this, Li Sangui patted his chest and said, "It's okay, you can stay as long as you want!"
The help Hu Xiner brought to his business made him reluctant to let go of such a helper, but he also realized from Hu Xiner's performance in the past two days that there is a sour saying among scholars, "A golden fish should not be kept in a pond, it will turn into a dragon when it encounters wind and clouds."
He didn't take it seriously before because all he saw around him were mediocre people who worked hard for half their lives just to fill their stomachs.
But Hu Xin'er is different. Even when she is in trouble now, she is still shining.
Even if you consider your own future, you can only make friends with such people, not enemies.
Of course, given his character, just as Hu Xiner thought, he would never force anyone to become a slave.
Since then, Li’s Butcher Shop has launched two new signs, Mu Qing is one and the promotional lottery is the second.
The business of Li's butcher shop is getting better and better. In the past, it took two or three days to sell a pig, but now it only takes half a day, or even less, to sell a pig and go home.
Li Sangui had considered killing an extra pig, but Hu Xiner stopped him, saying, "Do you know what hunger marketing is?"
In fact, selling one pig a day is no longer hunger marketing, but there will always be some people who cannot get it, and they will feel regretful and want to make up for it even more.
The way to make up for it is simple. If you don’t buy it today, just wait for it tomorrow.
Li Sangui is now almost obedient to Hu Xiner. If Hu Xiner says something is not possible, he will never do it. If Hu Xiner says something is possible, he will rack his brains to find a way to complete it.
After working in Li Sangui's butcher shop for half a month, he closed the shop and went home. Li Sangui handed Hu Xin'er a purse and said, "Your wages."
"Oh, huh?" Hu Xin'er weighed the purse and shook it. It rustled, revealing at least two taels of silver. Hu Xin'er's face lit up with joy. "Thank you, Brother Li!"
You have to know that in this era, a strong laborer working hard at the dock for a day would only earn ten copper coins at most.
Li Sangui laughed heartily, "You deserve it."
In fact, she has made a lot of money from selling paintings these days. Together with her wages, she can almost find a place to live in the village.
"Eh?" Seeing that Li Sangui didn't move, she asked curiously, "Doesn't my Mu Qing have one?"
Mu Qing didn't look at Li Sangui, but turned to look at Hu Xiner.
Li Sangui said angrily: "Do you think you have so much by yourself?"
Hu Xiner was embarrassed for a moment, then chuckled twice. That's right, in the past half month, Li Sangui sold a pig every day. The big one weighed almost 400 kilograms, and the small one weighed 270 to 280 kilograms. All in all, he made a profit of more than ten taels of silver.
But raising pigs is very time-consuming and laborious. Even if pigs in this era only eat grass and not grain, it still takes a lot of effort.
She and Mu Qing made so much profit, more than two taels of silver for the two of them, which was already a sky-high price, something others couldn't even imagine.
"Mu Qing, we'll each have half." As she said this, she pulled the drawstring of her purse and was about to pour out the silver.
Mu Qing reached out and held her hand, "I don't want it."
"How can that be? All this is earned by you." She had some marketing skills. Even without Mu Qing, she could still make money, but it would take a lot more effort. Mu Qing's face was a living signboard. Mu Qing took half of the money, which was not too much at all.
Mu Qing's hand was still holding Hu Xin'er's wrist, feeling her warmth through her sleeve. "I don't want it, I'll give it all to you."
Hu Xiner looked up and met Mu Qing's stubborn gaze. Suddenly, she felt that the part of her wrist where Mu Qing was wrapping her wrist was burning hot, making her feel uneasy.
She hurriedly looked away, but saw Li Sangui's cunning smile, as if he was saying to Hu Xiner: What do you think, see if I guessed it right!
Accurate! Accurate at all! If you use half of your brain on business, you won't need your sister to come out and help you!
"Well, I'll keep it for you first. I'll give it to you when you need it in the future." Hu Xiner was glad that she had found a compromise.
Hu Xiner's series of marketing methods have obviously achieved good results. Often, before the butcher shop opens, there is already a long queue outside the door, attracting attention.
Mu Qing's reputation has become more and more famous. Almost the entire Shuangxi Village, even the town and the county town have heard of Mu Qing's name and come to visit him.
But people are afraid of becoming famous and pigs are afraid of being fat. The ancients were not deceiving us.
Fame brought not only fame and fortune, but also some minor troubles that troubled Mu Qing.
On this day, Mu Qing went to the shop to buy pens and ink as instructed by Hu Xiner. He had just lost his memory, but he was not stupid. He often went out alone, so Hu Xiner never thought about what would happen to him.
What Hu Xiner didn't expect was that when Mu Qing came back, he looked gloomy. He put the pen and ink on the table in front of Hu Xiner, sat opposite her, and said nothing.
Hu Xiner looked up in surprise and stopped painting. "What's wrong?" she asked softly.
Mu Qing has a very good temper. If it weren't for a serious matter, he wouldn't be like this.
The corner of Mu Qing's mouth twitched, and he opened his mouth, but said nothing. His expression only became more uglier.
His behavior only made Hu Xin'er even more worried. She put her brush on the pen stand and pushed her half-finished painting aside. She reached across the table and took Mu Qing's hand. "What's wrong?"
Mu Qing turned around and looked at Hu Xiner, "I'm not happy."
Hu Xiner: There’s no need to be so detailed, anyone can see it.
She lowered her voice, trying to be as gentle as possible, "Why? But when you went out, who did you meet? What unpleasant things did you hear?"
Hu Xin'er's gentleness pried open Mu Qing's mouth and also pried open his heart: "I... I went out today and met a strange woman."
When Hu Xiner heard this, she began to think about it and was no longer so worried. Instead, she felt angry.
Sure enough, I heard Mu Qing continue, "That woman has been following me. She even stopped me at the intersection and insisted on giving me a bunch of wild flowers."
Right! Hu Xiner thought to herself: Sure enough, sasaeng fans are not limited to any era.
"Then, what about the wild flowers?" Hu Xiner asked.
"You!" Mu Qing was angry. Why did this person only care about those tattered wild flowers and not care about him?
Hu Xiner felt amused in her heart, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, don't be angry." She rubbed the back of Mu Qing's hand with her thumb twice to comfort him.
