Chapter 281 You Are an Incompetent Husband
"Do you still want to continue doing business?" Song Yuntang looked at him and asked.
Xu Wencheng nodded repeatedly.
"think."
Song Yuntang stroked his chin and thought about it.
"I can arrange a job for you for now, but it will require a long journey, so it would be safer for you to go with Erniu and the others. If you do a good job, it should be a lot easier than selling lotus roots."
"Going far away?" Xu Wencheng thought for a moment and shook his head, "I'm afraid not. My eldest brother said that my sister-in-law is doing business at home, so I have to follow her."
Song Yuntang looked at him with a smile, "Don't worry, I can handle the people in Cile Town, and I will go to the county town in a few days. Your brother will be there by then. I think your lotus roots will be almost sold out by then."
Xu Qingye, who had just picked up a book in the room, heard this and looked outside.
"Aren't you going to the county town with me tomorrow?"
Song Yuntang nodded, "It may be a few days later."
He nodded. "Okay."
Xu Wencheng did not agree immediately, but looked at Jiang who was busy in the kitchen, "Mom, did you hear what my sister-in-law just said?"
Jiang's hands kept moving.
"I heard you. Mom doesn't object. It's good to go out and exercise and see the world."
Xu Wencheng was delighted and asked hurriedly, "Sister-in-law, can you tell me what it is? After dinner, I will go and ask Erniu and Changgen for their opinions."
Song Yuntang looked at him and said, "You haven't been to my shop on Heyang Street yet, have you?"
Xu Wencheng shook his head, "Not yet indeed."
He was a little surprised that his sister-in-law had more than one shop in the town!
Song Yuntang continued, "The things sold in that shop are all prepared by me. I think that I have limited money at the moment, and I dare not invest too much to open a shop in a bad year, so I need someone to help me go to shops outside the city to negotiate cooperation with people."
She gave Xu Wencheng a general account of what needed to be done.
Xu Wenben was smart and understood what she meant as soon as he heard it. He gave Song Yuntang a thumbs up.
"Sister-in-law, you have a very smart brain. If you do this, you can sell the goods without having to spend money to open a shop. If the shop does good business, you can make a lot of money."
Song Yuntang began to paint a big picture.
"There are already several shops in the county cooperating with us, and the order volume is quite good every time."
"Sometimes the orders are dozens or even hundreds of taels, and sometimes as little as eight or nine taels."
"If you are willing to help me negotiate this deal, you can get a 20% dividend on the first batch of orders from those shops, that is, you can get 2 taels of silver for every 10 taels of silver paid for the goods. After that, you can get a 50% dividend on every order from those shops. However, you will also need to maintain those shops by yourselves. Whoever maintains the shops in the future will get the silver."
Xu Wencheng looked at her.
"If we talk a lot, we can just lie at home and make money without working?"
Xu Yongwang, who was sitting on the recliner, was amazed at Song Yuntang's talent for business. When he heard what his youngest son said, he almost held his breath.
He looked in the direction of Xu Wencheng.
"You are just dreaming of a good thing that will fall from the sky. Who doesn't earn money pennies at a time? And you are lying at home making money. Do you think money can grow legs and come to you?"
However, Song Yuntang coughed fakely.
"Dad, actually...what Wen Chenggang said is not entirely wrong."
Xu Wencheng stood up.
"Dad, listen, money can really grow legs and come to our house."
Xu Yongwang was so angry that he took the handkerchief on the end of the recliner and kneaded it and threw it in the direction of Xu Wencheng.
"You've made it big, you're using chicken feathers as a token of authority!"
Xu Wencheng took the handkerchief and shrank his neck.
"Wasn't it Dad who questioned me first?"
Song Yuntang continued, "It's definitely okay to just sit back and collect money in the short term, but if you want people to place orders with you for a long time, you have to put in a lot of effort behind the scenes."
Xu Wencheng patted his chest and made the promise.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. If we really do this, we will definitely do it well for you."
Song Yuntang smiled and patted his shoulder.
"I trust you."
After saying that, he got up and went into the house.
Xu Wencheng was very excited at the moment. Seeing that Jiang was still cooking, he said something to her and went out to find Erniu and Changgen.
…
For dinner, we had braised pork, Chinese cabbage and pickled radish.
Song Yuntang poured the braised pork broth on the rice, ate a bowl, and then had another half bowl before he finally filled his stomach.
This was the first time she had added rice to her meal since she came to Xu's house.
Jiang looked at her like this and felt puzzled.
"Tang'er, your mother's birthday was coming up, and she didn't give you any food or something? How could she starve you like this?"
Song Yuntang wiped his mouth and smiled awkwardly.
"I ate, but not much."
She couldn't bring up the matter of the Zhao family stealing food here, after all, they were Zhao's family.
Even if you don't care about the Zhao family, you should at least give them some dignity.
Jiang glanced at Xu Qingye and said, "Your wife didn't have enough food at noon, and you didn't even bring her something to eat when you went to town. You are such an incompetent husband."
Xu Qingye did not refute, but just nodded and said, "Mom is right."
Song Yuntang pulled Zhao's arm.
"Mom, don't blame Qingye. He bought me some jujube paste cakes. But I haven't eaten braised pork for a long time. I was a little greedy, so I ate a little more."
Jiang was so happy when she heard this.
"Look, you're already protecting him before mom even says anything." He patted her hands and said, "From now on, just tell mom what you want to eat. I'll make it for you if I know how to make it. If I can't, go ask your aunt to teach you. Your aunt's cooking skills are much better than mine."
"I see. Thank you, Mom."
Song Yuntang remembered that when he first came to Lushan Village, Jiang asked Zhang to be the chef.
If she opens another food shop, she doesn't know whether her aunt would be willing to help.
But there is no rush for now.
Because he ate too much, Song Yuntang walked in the village to help digest the food.
Most people in Lushan Village are nice. They will greet her in a friendly manner when they see her. There are only a few who dislike her.
But no one can please everyone.
As long as most people can get along with each other, life can be comfortable.
"Qingye wife, I heard that you are doing business in town. My son Ayou is hardworking and smart. If there is a suitable job, can you arrange it for him? We are from the same village and it's easy for us to talk to each other." An aunt came forward with a smile and stuffed two fruits into her hands.
Looking down, I saw two Yamanashi trees.
It’s quite big.
Yamanashi has plenty of moisture, white flesh, tender and crisp texture, and tastes as sweet as honey but not greasy. It tastes very refreshing.
In her previous life, she liked fruits, all kinds of fruits.
But now the other person had something to ask for, so she couldn't just accept the two pears.
Just as she was about to push it back, she saw the old lady smiling and stuffing the pear back into her hands.
"Don't worry, Aunt Qian is not a stingy person. It doesn't matter if there is no work. You can eat this mountain pear. I saw your father-in-law often go to the mountains to pick fruits. I thought maybe you like to eat them. In previous years, he was not so diligent."
