Chapter 150 151. Shop
Jin Qianqian covered her mouth in surprise. If this little Dongzi lived in modern times, he would definitely be a counting genius.
I just explained to him some essentials of abacus mental arithmetic, and in just a few days, he not only mastered it very well, but also was able to apply it to other situations. He could instantly work out the answers to even the most difficult calculations.
"If this were an international abacus competition, I would definitely be the first." Jin Qianqian whispered to Gu Wenheng.
Gu Wenheng looked at the scrambled characters on the side, then at the accurate and neat numbers, and shook his head in disappointment, "If it weren't so drastically biased, this kid might still be a top scholar.
Look at these words. I asked him to practice them hundreds of times, and he can still lie like this. He is truly a talented person.
He can imitate the same numbers as you wrote. I even suspect he did it on purpose."
Jin Qianqian, "This person has his strengths, so he shouldn't keep pursuing perfection. I think it's good for him this way. Although his handwriting is a little ugly, at least people can recognize it all.
This math is different. With his brain alone, he can beat 98% of accountants."
"He is sensitive to numbers. I think you can try to let go. In this cold weather, let them come to your house every day to get the embryos you have prepared." Gu Wenheng glanced at Xiao Dongzi who was busy in and out of the counter, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.
Jin Qianqian is now ambitiously trying to develop her second career. After all, this pastry shop has become stable and has a fixed customer base every day. It doesn't make much difference whether she is here or not.
Now that he had a great helper, he was naturally willing to let go. "Just in front of the street, not far from our house, there is another storefront that is about to be sold. Come with me to take a look later."
Gu Wenheng raised his eyebrows and looked at her. He had just bought a manor. Would the family have enough money to pay for it?
Jin Qianqian scratched her forehead and said, "This is a rare opportunity. It's also close to where we live now. I want to buy it and start a small soap workshop."
I happened to visit the market these days and found that there are a lot of soapberries here. I also have a lot of books in my hands, which record some recipes for making soap. This thing has not appeared yet, but as long as you master the secret recipe, it may be a way to make a fortune.
Gu Wenheng has been using the shampoo and shower gel provided by Jin Qianqian for such a long time that he actually forgot about the soap.
"This is feasible, but the soap shop can't hire any more people from outside," Gu Wenheng frowned. The profits and prospects here are too great to take any risks.
"You are already a scholar, so you can buy slaves," Jin Qianqian had thought of it a long time ago. "As long as we find two honest and reliable people and have the indentures in hand, we can let them share some of the less important work.
But other ratios will make us more difficult, after all, sometimes selling indentures is not safe. "
History always tells people that in the face of absolute interests, a piece of thin paper cannot contract anything.
Gu Wenheng, "We need to look for it slowly. Now that we have an idea, let's go and have a look at the storefront while the weather is good today."
Sure enough, when I arrived about 50 or 60 meters away from home, I saw a cosmetics shop with a sign "For Sale" on the door.
Looking at such a small shop, Gu Wenheng also understood why Jin Qianqian could speak so confidently.
"This is less than ten square meters. Isn't it too crowded?"
Jin Qianqian glanced at him and said, "We don't handle these processes here. We'll move the finished products here. It's enough for a place this big.
And look at this place, it's at the intersection of the street, and there's a government road not far ahead. As long as we put up a big sign, why worry about not getting business?"
Jin Qianqian came and went on this street and had long noticed that there was a lot of traffic on this official road, and some convoys would often stop to replenish their needs.
Moreover, when she made this soap, she did not set out to produce high-quality products. Instead, she made the most commonly used laundry soap first. As for other varieties, she would consider them slowly after she grew.
The owner of the cosmetics shop saw Jin Qianqian coming in and immediately greeted her with a smile, "What wind is blowing today that makes the owner of the pastry shop come to my place?"
Jin Qianqian smiled and said, "Sister Lin hasn't come to see me for so long, why can't you let me come to see you!"
Lin Aijiao usually likes to go to the pastry shop to buy some pastries. Sometimes she treats the customers in the shop, and sometimes she takes them back to her family for her children and the elderly.
"Alas, I don't have any time to think about it now. You should have seen the for-sale sign at my door, right? My family is still in a turmoil over this matter. I just hope to deal with these things as soon as possible and leave these troublemakers behind."
Jin Qianqian looked at the woman in front of her with sympathy. Everyone had heard about her story.
Clearly it was a dowry brought from her parents' home, but because of the unreasonable demands of her husband's family, she could not stand her husband's one-sided attitude and finally had to sell the house and divide it among the people in her family.
Jin Qianqian grabbed her hand affectionately and patted it, "This way, the division is complete, but it's a pity that you still suffered a great loss. Since ancient times, dowries have been registered, and you don't have to worry about it at all."
Lin Aijiao knew it too, "Forget it. My parents' home is far from here. Besides, it's just a storefront. It won't make much if we divide it into two parts. But if I can completely break away from that family, then it's worth the loss.
Sister, I know you have been worried about me during this period, and I feel at ease. "
These people dared to split her dowry, which might be a handle in her hand. It would be fine if they didn't interfere with each other in the future, but if they really made trouble, she wouldn't mind making that family famous in the county.
"Is this your husband? I've seen him from a distance a few times, but this is his first time entering my shop." Lin Aijiao saw Gu Wenheng up close for the first time and could not help but nod repeatedly, "As expected, he is the top winner of this case. With such a dignified demeanor, my sister will have a bright future in the future!"
Jin Qianqian, "Look at how much you praise us, Sister Lin. We feel a little embarrassed.
To be honest, I came here this time to buy your shop. I wonder if Sister Lin is willing?"
Lin Aijiao frowned, "Do you want to open another pastry shop on this street?"
The entire county is so small, there is no need to go through so much trouble.
Jin Qianqian shook her head. "I don't have that idea. I just have some extra money now. If the price is right, I want to buy it and do something else with it."
Lin Aijiao gave her a thumbs up and said, "You are such a courageous girl. There are too many people asking for the price these days. Some of them think the price is too high, or they think my location is not good."
