The Li family has made such a big fuss again, what are they trying to do?
Those who were well-informed whispered, "You probably didn't know this, but the Li family has opened another shop in the city!"
"How do you know?" asked a villager.
"Hey, tell us quickly, tell us quickly, why are you keeping us in suspense?" another villager urged.
The man instantly attracted everyone's attention. He coughed and whispered, "The other day I went to visit Li Youcai's house and happened to hear Youcai and his wife talking about making three signs for the Li family. What else could this be but opening a shop?"
Everyone was shocked. It would have been fine if he just opened a shop, but the clan leader's son also opened a pastry shop in the city, but this time he wanted to open three at once, which made the villagers extremely envious!
Everyone gathered together, talking in low voices, discussing the important events in Lijia Village!
When the Zhao father and son moved the last basket of soy sauce and pickled chicken onto the mule cart, the Li brothers also put the signs of the two shops they had prepared onto the donkey cart.
Because Lin Feng was preparing for his wedding, everyone discussed it and unanimously agreed that the store should be reopened after he got married.
The villagers looked at the three carts full of goods, and one of them couldn't help asking, "Uncle Li, what kind of business are you doing?"
Mr. Li did not hide it and said frankly: "I'm in the soy sauce business. If you buy soy sauce in the future, please take care of my uncle's business!"
After hearing this, the man waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Uncle, stop teasing me. I can't afford something as precious as soy sauce!"
Old Master Li waved his hands repeatedly, pointing to the bamboo basket of soy sauce and said, "Not expensive, not expensive. A small bottle of half a catty is twelve cents a bottle, and a large bottle of one catty is eighteen cents a bottle."
These words were like thunder in the sky, and everyone was stunned. At this time, Li Yan had packed up and said to Mr. Li, "Master, let's go!"
Old Master Li waved to the villagers who were watching the fun, raised the reins, and set off first. Following behind him were his two sons driving the cart.
Except for the aunt, Li Xiaomei and Lin who stayed at home, the rest of the Li family, including the child Maomao and his family all went out and headed towards Rongcheng.
After the group disappeared from the village entrance, the villager who had just asked the question finally woke up as if from a dream: "Did I just hallucinate? Did I hear it wrong? It only costs twelve cents?"
The villager nearby affirmed, "You heard right, the small one is twelve, and the big one is eighteen!"
"It's really so cheap. Let's go buy a small bottle and try it!" said a villager.
These days they either helped the Li family dig ponds or went to the city to build a market and earned some money, so it wouldn't be a problem to buy a small bottle.
One villager waved his hands repeatedly: "That's twelve cents. It takes a whole day of hard work to earn it back!"
The villagers who had gathered in front of the Li family's gate dispersed after the Li family members left. Those villagers who were smart and had a say in the matter said, "Come on, let's buy a bottle together. It's only nine cents each. Let's go and see the fun!"
"There's only one bottle, how can we divide it?"
That's true. The man was smart. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's go and ask if the soy sauce can be sold in bulk!" Actually, we can wait for the Li family to come back and ask about this. The main reason is that they want to go and see the fun!
When Li Yan and her group arrived at the market, they passed by a two-story restaurant and inn. Li Yan could see many craftsmen busy at work, and the sound of clanging and donging could be heard from time to time.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. When did you arrive?" Li Erlang said to Lin An who was standing in front of his shop.
"We just arrived too!" Lin An replied.
Lin An and Lin Feng brought their two children to the city early in the morning to buy firecrackers, preparing to set them off after hanging the plaque.
Li Erlang opened the doors of the two shops, and then everyone began to unload the goods. The two uncles helped to take the marinated chicken to the snack shop, while the Li brothers carried the soy sauce to the shop next door.
"Dad, please help put the soy sauce on the shelf first. I'll go and settle the livestock!" After saying that, he led Li Dalang out of the store.
"There's no backyard here, where should we keep the animals?" asked Li Dalang.
Li Erlang pointed to the inn next to him and said, "That inn over there is a stable in the backyard for merchants to stay and rest. Let's park the cart there!"
Li Erlang first went to the door of the inn and spoke a few words to the steward, who nodded repeatedly and hurried to the backyard.
Then Li Erlang walked up to his eldest brother and said, "Let's go. The steward is going to open the door in the backyard!"
In this way, the three animal carts of the Li family were temporarily parked next door. Because he had other things to do in the shop, Li Erlang simply exchanged a few words with the shopkeeper and hurried away with his people.
The shopkeeper enthusiastically escorted the guests outside and immediately called the young man to work: "Hurry up and tell the young master that the shop next door is opening today!"
