The girls' enthusiasm wore off after the carriage had been traveling for an hour and a half, and several of them leaned against the carriage and began to doze off.
They arrived at the county town before 3 p.m. and began to look for the school according to the location Yan Dashan said.
In fact, the school is quite easy to find. Although it is not as good as the public county school, it is also well-known in the county. However, I heard that the rules of the school are quite strict and guests are not allowed during classes.
Although they found the school quickly, it was class time, and the doorman asked them to come back in an hour. They had no choice but to drive to find a car dealership.
It is said that Chunsheng Coach and Horse Shop is a shop on the side of the main street. When Chunxiao heard the name for the first time, she thought it was a bit strange. The name was a combination of one character from each of her and Dongsheng's names, which made people feel inexplicably intimate. But after thinking about it, she felt that she was overthinking it. It was normal for two people to open a horse business together and take one character from each of their names.
After running for two incense sticks of time, they arrived at the main street. Xiaohua saw the sign of the carriage and horse shop from a distance. "Miss, look ahead." She pointed at the sign ahead excitedly.
Shuduo and the others came to the front of the carriage and looked, "Aunt, it's Chunsheng Coach and Horse Shop. What a big sign."
The carriage drove all the way to the door before stopping. The doorman didn't recognize them, but seeing them driving the carriage, he thought they were guests. He greeted them with a smile and said, "Dear guests, are you looking for a rental car or shipping? We have a full range of vehicles and horses here."
Pan'er covered her mouth and laughed.
Chunxiao jumped off the carriage and walked up to the waiter. "I'm looking for your manager Yan Wangfu. Is he here?"
"What do you want from him?" the waiter asked casually.
"We are from the same hometown as him. You will know if you call him out."
"Please wait a moment, those people." The waiter left politely. After a while, Wangfu came out and was surprised to see them. "Why are you here? Come, come and sit in the yard." He patted the original waiter rudely and said, "Be more careful. This is our second boss. All the owners of this shop are owners." He pointed at Chunxiao to the waiter.
The waiter touched his head embarrassedly and said, "I haven't seen it either." Then he came over with a bent waist and said, "Boss, please come in. I'll take the carriage to the yard for you." Then he called another waiter to come in from the door.
"The guy you hired is quite smart." Several people followed Wangfu into the yard. "This place just opened not long ago. How is business?"
"We just opened and don't have much reputation, so business is average. However, we have received several short-distance orders in the past two days. We will be profitable in the long run." Wang Zu led them to the backyard. The backyard was indeed very large, and the back door was open for easy access and unloading.
"Are you going into town on business?"
"I've built a new house over there, and I'm going into town to buy some things. I'm afraid I'll have to stay here tonight. I don't know if I can stay here."
"Don't worry, there are seven or eight rooms in the backyard. The shop has new thin quilts. But there are a lot of mosquitoes because of the livestock in the back. I'll have someone clean up a few rooms for you later. Smoke them with mugwort and everything will be fine." He looked at Wang again, "Sister-in-law, are you going into the city to visit Wuzhong?"
Wang nodded. "I followed them into the city and came to take a look. I never thought you actually opened a carriage and horse business in the city."
"Dongsheng and Chunxiao opened this carriage and horse business together. I'm just the manager." Wangfu smiled. "Now I finally don't have to stay at home all day. This job is great for me."
"The people in our village are becoming more and more capable."
After Wangfu had them drink some tea, he showed the group around the shop. "Dongsheng and I compared several shops before deciding on this one. It has a good location and a large yard at the back. If we stop selling carriages and horses, we can renovate it and turn it into a decent ordinary shop. Chunxiao, we must expand this carriage and horse business."
"Uncle Wangfu, you're too ambitious." Shuwen looked at him and chuckled, "You've just started and you want to make it big!"
"You can only make money if you do it big. You don't know, I've visited other carriage and horse companies before, and those who take big orders are not reluctant to spend money. When they run long-distance routes, they can make dozens of taels of silver on a single order."
"Is it so profitable?" Tian was surprised.
"Sister-in-law, any business can make money, and hard work is natural. You hear him make it sound easy, but only they themselves know the hardships they go through." She turned to look at Wangfu, "This matter is not my responsibility. I'm really a hands-off manager at the car dealership. I'm just waiting for you to share the profits with me."
"Then I believe Dongsheng will definitely expand our carriage and horse business." He grinned, and after showing them around the shop, he asked the waiter to clean up the three connected guest rooms.
"Uncle Wangfu, how do you usually eat?" Pan'er asked curiously.
"Cook it yourself, take turns. It's very simple. Just make some porridge or soup and stir-fry a couple of dishes. We have 10 guys here, 4 of them are out, and the rest are on standby. The convoys over there that deliver goods also stay here. In short, we cook as much as we have people."
As they were talking, someone came up to them. Chunxiao asked them to get busy and they started to clean the house themselves.
After sitting in the shop for a while, it was soon the end of the afternoon. "Shuwen, drive a carriage to pick up Yanqi and Wuzhong. Tell the doorman to send them back later."
"Aunt, Pan'er, my brother and I will go together." Shuduo wanted to give Yan Qi a surprise.
"Go, go quickly and come back quickly, don't wander around."
Half an hour later, Shuwen and his companions returned in a carriage, but they did not look well.
