Chapter 64 Convenience Grocery Store



Old Man Feng also nodded and said, "We should thank them, and we should also thank those who helped us this time."

They were grateful to the family who helped pull his wife out of the river.

This time many people went to the clinic to see them and gave them a lot of things.

They were also grateful from the bottom of their hearts.

Mrs. Feng said, "We don't have any other skills. Before the flood, when we lived in the village, everyone liked the steamed buns I made and said they were delicious."

"Let's buy some white flour and make some white flour buns to send to everyone as a token of our gratitude."

No matter how difficult life was, the Feng family felt they should express their gratitude to the families who had helped them.

"Okay, I'll go buy some flour tomorrow."

In order to save money, they usually eat food made from whole grains or cornmeal.

Even during the Chinese New Year, I couldn’t bear to make white flour buns.

Although she hadn't made steamed buns for many years, Mrs. Feng used to make them often, so she naturally hadn't forgotten the recipe.

When Hua Xinuo lay down to sleep at night, all she thought about was making facial cream, lip balm and some hand cream.

In winter, although Yunzhou is not as cold as Beizhou, some people's hands will still get frostbite cracks.

Making hand ointment with medicinal herbs can protect your hands and even cure frostbite.

This kind of hand cream is effective, but the cost is high.

So Hua Xinuo thought about it and decided to start by making soap.

Soap targets the general market, while perfumed soap targets the high-end market.

The key is that soap is cheap to make.

Moreover, there is no such thing on the market yet. If it is made and useful, I believe it will be very popular.

That way I can earn some money quickly and buy some better pens, ink, paper and inkstone for my father.

You can also buy all the furniture at home.

Hua Xinuo fell asleep while thinking about these things.

The next day they continued to sell braised food and sausages.

Both the braised food and ham sausage business are very good.

When they closed their stall at noon, they had earned two taels of silver and eight hundred and twenty coins that day.

Qiu Wenqin was naturally happy to see that she had made some income again.

In the afternoon, Qiu Wenqin accompanied Hua Xinhong to buy some things and bought two fish weighing two or three pounds.

So that Hua Xinhong can take him to Yunlu Academy.

"You haven't been to Yunlu Academy to study for such a long time. I don't know if Master Meng, who taught you at that time, is still here."

"No matter what, we have to ask someone about admission this time. We can't go empty-handed."

"Fortunately, I heard that the dean of Yunlu Academy has changed, and the atmosphere should have changed a bit. There shouldn't be any problems."

Having said that, Qiu Wenqin was still a little worried that the academy would not accept Hua Xinhong.

It is not only for the purpose of studying in the academy, but also for the dean of the academy to act as a guarantor so that one can register for the academy examination.

The imperial court stipulated that one had to provide a guarantor before taking the exam.

When we arrived at Yunlu Academy, the dean and teachers of Yunlu Academy arranged all these matters for us.

Students just need to prepare and wait for the exam.

Hua Xinuo knew that the dean of Yunlu Academy seemed to have changed because of the Chen family's affairs.

To be precise, the dean of the college was arrested because he was suspected of corruption and illegal activities.

Yunlu Academy now has a new dean.

But they don’t know which teacher is the dean now.

Hua Xinuo's expression changed and he said, "Dad, I'll go with you!"

Hua Xinhong also wanted to go along with his daughter's idea, but thinking of the rules of the academy, he could only say: "You are a girl, and the academy does not allow girls to go. You stay at home, and I will tell you about the academy when I come back."

This is the rule of the academy, and Hua Xinhong is helpless.

Hua Xinuo's expression slightly restrained. She understood that this era was different from the technological era.

In this technological age, there are no such unreasonable regulations. Both men and women can study.

But here, only men can study and take exams.

Even women were not allowed to enter the academy.

In fact, Hua Xinuo was just thinking that she didn’t know whether the academy had a cafeteria, and she wanted to see if she could find any business opportunities and do some business.

"It's okay, Dad. It's good that you come back and tell us about it."

However, Hua Xinhong took Hua Hanmao and went to the academy with the things.

Qiu Wenqin and the others took Hua Hanbin and Hua Xinuo shopping to see if there was anything they needed to buy.

Mainly to buy some things for their house.

"When we move into the house, everyone will have a spacious room and a wardrobe, so everyone can make a few more sets of clothes."

"Unlike today when we have to wear coarse linen clothes for work, we can buy some fine cotton clothes, which are also comfortable for daily wear."

"There are also some daily necessities, such as salt and sugar. You can buy more of them so you have room to store them..."

Qiu Wenqin was walking down the street and talking about these things, her face full of joy.

But the fabrics they buy here at the market are indeed more expensive.

"Mom, we can go to the village to buy cloth. The cloth in the village is definitely cheaper than here in the market."

Qiu Wenqin was stunned for a moment and said, "Are we going to the embroiderer's house to buy some cloth?"

"I heard that there are merchants who specialize in buying them. Most people don't sell them individually."

Hua Xinuo smiled and said, "Mom, we can go to the village and ask around. We don't just want to buy cloth once or twice. We can ask the embroiderers there to do it whenever we need to buy cloth or make something else in the future."

Hua Xinuo said all this not just to buy cloth.

She is doing this for future business.

In the age of technology, there are several supermarkets in every community, making it convenient for everyone to buy things.

Many villages have several supermarkets.

Villagers don’t have to go out and wander around to buy things, it is much more convenient to go directly to the supermarket.

But there is none here at all.

Moreover, the villages here are different from those villages that are entirely land.

People here have to cross the river and hire a boat to go to the market to buy things, which is actually very inconvenient.

Or they would wait for the market in a nearby big village, which was held every six days, and people from all the villages would come from far away to attend the market.

She actually wanted to open a supermarket at the entrance of the village near the river bank, which was actually a grocery store of that era, selling some small items.

In this way, people in the village and nearby areas can go to the grocery store to buy daily necessities.

Besides, it is convenient for people who sail nearby to buy things.

But since we are opening a supermarket, the prices must be cheaper.

So we need cheap sources of goods.

For example, her parents used to buy vegetables and other things at the market near the pier, and the prices were not cheap.

But in fact, some vegetables are much cheaper if you buy them from villagers in the village.

It’s just that some villages are xenophobic, and outsiders don’t understand or are unfamiliar with the place. If they rashly knock on the door of a village, many people will be rude to them.

Sometimes I even look down on others.

Some people don't want to sell anything at all.

So even if it is a little more expensive, the fishermen will buy things at the dock.

But if a convenience supermarket is opened, it may be different and it can also provide convenience for fishermen.

Or maybe we will need your help in transporting goods, and maybe we can help some people.
