Chapter 572 Purple is very charming
The next day was the day when Huang Ming’s fishing gear shop opened. After Zhang An got up, he went over to take a look.
At the intersection of their home, there was a wooden sign with the words "Daming Fishing Tackle Store, opening discount, 20% off today" written on it.
This kind of routine was very common in later generations, but it is rare now. It is probably that Da Mingzi saw it somewhere and then learned to use it.
Zhang An did not go directly to Damingzi’s house, but first went to Zhang Xinmin’s canteen.
“Brother Xinmin, do you still have the cannons? Give me a five-hundred-gun blast.”
Although Zhang An’s family still has fireworks, it’s nothing to set off fireworks in broad daylight. The effect is not as good as building a cannon directly, and the sound can be heard in the lotus pond.
“There are some, they are used to give Huang Ming a good start, right? Just wait for me to get them for you.”
Zhang Xinmin’s face was full of excitement when he saw business coming to his door. He was smiling. Needless to say, he already knew why Zhang An was buying cannons, because it was no secret that Huang Ming opened a shop in the village. No one in the village knew about the relationship between Zhang An and Huang Ming.
For ordinary people, a five-hundred-shot cannon is already too big, and most people will choose a two-hundred-shot cannon.
Because the earthen cannons are not small, each one is bigger than Zhang An's thumb, and they are fired very slowly. They will explode when they fall one by one. One with 500 rings must be fired for at least ten minutes. Of course, this kind of firecrackers are much more expensive, so he can earn more.
Zhang An originally wanted the sound to be louder, but the two hundred ringing time was too short, and the one thousand ringing time was too long, and Zhang Xinmin had no stock here, so the five hundred ringing ring was just right.
When Zhang Xinmin took the cannon out from the inside, he was punched three times in the middle and lower part by the zip tie. The round plate was about the size of a small sieve.
Zhang An paid for the firecracker, took it and went straight to Huang Ming's house.
Although the Huang Ming family's new house has been built, their family has not moved in yet, so the door has not been opened.
However, his shop is a specially expanded large room with a separate door, so it has no impact.
When he was building the wall at first, Huang Ming was thinking of leaving a large display window like Zhang Xinmin’s canteen.
But then I thought about it, that was still too childish. When buying fishing gear, you are facing adults. It’s not like a child buying snacks and shouting what you want to buy in front of the window. You have to let People go in and pick.
So he simply gritted his teeth and left the front wall alone, leaving a French door so that the inside would be more open.
However, he did not buy a rolling shutter door to install the door of his shop. That thing was too expensive. He directly found Carpenter Lin to make a large row of detachable wooden doors, using his own materials. out, so you don’t have to spend much money.
When Zhang An arrived at the door of Huang Ming's house, a foot-long red cloth had been hung on the door of the shop.
This is similar to the ribbon-cutting of some big shops in the city, which means getting rich and prosperous, but you don’t need to move it if you hang it up.
Usually this happens only in big happy events such as marriage, moving, etc. And not everyone can do it, no matter how good the relationship is, usually it’s the host’s family. uncle or aunt's house.
This red must have been hung by Huang Ming’s uncle’s family, because Mr. Huang did not have a daughter.
"Brother An is here, the time is not up yet, go and sit for a while."
Huang Ming saw Zhang An coming with a cannon in his arms, and hurried over to welcome him through the door.
"What time was set? I'm not late, don't let me hang up the firecrackers and light them up."
Zhang An walked inside and took a look and found that the people in the shop were quite nice. There are many, but they are all relatives of Huang Ming's family and people they know well in the village.
"No, no, no, Grandpa Dao saw that it's four quarters of the hour, and it's not until eight o'clock, there's still half an hour."
Zhang An came over, but Huang Ming didn't When he was about to go somewhere else, his parents would naturally greet his seven aunts and eight aunts.
"What you did here is quite good. It seems to have everything. It's quite complete."
Walking around the shop, Zhang An found that Huang Ming had prepared quite a lot of things. From fishing rods to fishing rigs to bait, we have everything you need.
However, the number of fishing rods is not very large. Fishing rig accessories and baits such as fishing lines, fishhooks, etc. account for the majority. After all, these are cheap and it does not cost much to distribute the goods.
As for the pole, everyone who comes to fish will bring it themselves. Only when the pole explodes will people consider coming to take a look.
Of course, he doesn’t just open a fishing gear shop here. In fact, he also sells a lot of snacks and department stores, including tobacco and alcohol.
After all, their new house is at the entrance of the village. In such a prime location, it would be a waste not to build a small shop.
"Hey, it's not bad, not bad."
Huang Ming became a little shy and scratched his head after being praised by Zhang An.
In fact, he really put 120% of his effort into building this fishing gear shop.
From building a new house to now preparing to sell goods, he has invested all his own funds.
Therefore, he and Li Xiaoying should devote all their energy to this shop in the future.
“By the way, I think the wooden sign you put up at the intersection is pretty good, but there should be another one in front, so that more people will know about it.”
Zhang An thought of the wooden sign placed at the intersection of Huang Ming's yard and gave him some advice.
Because many fishermen don’t enter the village when they come over. They turn directly to the river after crossing the bridge. Only a few people will enter the village to buy a pack of cigarettes or something.
It’s not until noon, when it’s time to eat, that I take the time to come to the village for a meal.
Some people even didn’t even come to the village for lunch, but directly ordered meals to be delivered there.
So in Zhang An’s opinion, placing another signboard at the end of the bridge will definitely have a better effect.
"Don't worry, Brother An. I made three or four wooden signs like this yesterday. They are not only placed in front of my house, but also at both ends of the bridge and at the entrance of the stone pass."
Huang Ming is full of confidence in this. After his previous inquiries, he found that there is not a single fishing gear shop in the nearby area. Although the fish collection shops in Hongyan Town also sell some fishing gear, there are too many types for people to choose from. Young Master, really speaking, his place is the only serious fishing gear shop in Hongyan Town.
Although this section of the river in Changqing Village is the place with the most fishermen, there are also people going to other places.
So this time he not only put up billboards in the village, but even at the stone pass.
The purpose is not just for the group of people who come to the village to know, but also for the fishing guys who go to other places to have an impression after seeing it.
"Okay, okay, now I believe you can definitely start this shop." Seeing that Huang Ming had even thought of this, Zhang An gave him a thumbs up. He used to say that this guy has a business mind. It's really true.
Soon it was eight o'clock in the morning, and Huang Ming hurried to the yard to light the firecrackers placed there.
Not long after, the crackling and banging of firecrackers exploded in the village. The movement was quite loud. This is why Zhang An did not bring little Siqi over.
But even though there was so much movement, there were only a few scattered people coming.
Huang Ming's mother was standing at the door with a worried look on her face.
“Hey Daming, why are there only so few people coming to see it?”
There are really many fishing guys along the Changqing River, sometimes they can exceed three digits, but there are only so many A few people came over here and there, and she was worried that Huang Ming would lose the money he invested.
"Mom, just be at ease. It's normal for no one to come here right now, because when people come, they have to grab fishing spots. When it's time to eat at noon, there will definitely be more people. You Go home and cook quickly. We have to eat early today, otherwise we won’t have time at noon.”
Huang Ming was very worried at the moment, and there was no trace of worry on his face.
Sure enough, when it was time to eat at noon, many people came over and went directly to Huang Ming's fishing gear shop without being busy eating.
Basically everyone bought something when they came out, and business was good.
When Zhang An was walking on the road, he could basically hear people passing by talking about Daming Fishing Tackle Store.
Many people feel that now that a fishing gear shop has opened in the village, they will no longer have to hold back and buy whatever they need in the future.
When Zhang An returned home, he found that his precious son was holding an extremely fat sparrow in his hands.
"No, I haven't been at home for a while. Where did you get this?"
Zhang An was really dumbfounded, because at this time, little Siqi was carrying a The little squirrel Qiuqiu, holding a fat sparrow in his hand, followed by several big dogs, looked like a playboy.
"Well, where is the Lord of Misery? He is very powerful in this family. No one dares to provoke him and snatch it from others' mouths."
Su Ying happened to come out of the house. When she heard Zhang An asked, she pointed to the trembling and innocent Mimi in the corner of the yard and said.
“You’ve been doing this for a long time. You are snatching food from the cat’s mouth. You have robbed other people’s lunch. Have you given them any compensation?”
Zhang An thought it was the guy from the village at first. The tough guy caught it and gave it to little Siqi to play with. He never expected that the little guy snatched it from under Mimi's mouth.
But this is normal. According to the status of his son as the family emperor in this family, even the most aloof and arrogant person has to shy away from him, let alone Mimi, who usually doesn't even have any impression points.
Zhang An’s family has many animals, but the only ones that can catch birds are Huatou, Hui Qiu and their family members, and Mimi. Hua Tou and his family basically catch birds with all their strength, while Hui Qiu and his family have to do it at night. , not allowed during the day.
But the only one who can catch birds during the day and night is Mimi, a scumbag cat who often never returns home.
This guy is quite capable. In addition to mice, many birds and sparrows are basically on his diet. Even during the day, he can curl up in a tree, as long as a bird dares to land on the tree. , there is a high probability that you will not be able to leave.
But the sparrow in Xiao Siqi’s hand really deserves to be caught by Mimi, because this thing is so fat that it has eaten so many crops in the field. Mimi today Mi can be regarded as the only tyrant in the village.
But this great hero was huddled in the corner and motionless at the moment. Maybe he had just been bullied by his little master, and now he felt aggrieved.
Compared with it, as a bully, Xiao Siqi is currently playing with himself regardless of what his father is saying.
If Wang Fang saw this, she would have to nag for a long time, because the older generation did not want to see children playing with birds. They said that children's hands would shake when they pick up pens to write after playing with birds, so they would not allow it.
But Zhang An didn't care about it. If his son liked playing, he would just let him play happily.
Because he knew very well whether his hands would shake after playing with birds. After all, he had caught countless birds when he was a child.
And sparrows are not a good thing. Even if little Siqi plays with them, he doesn't think it's a big deal. If they are swallows or other beneficial birds, he won't let them play with them.
"Mimi, come here."
The little thing didn't come out of the autistic corner until Zhang An opened his mouth to call it.
Then Zhang An took him to the edge of the fish pond and caught two small fish for him. One was regarded as a reward for catching sparrows, and the other was regarded as compensation for being bullied by Xiao Siqi.
After Mimi finished eating the two fish given by Zhang An, she swept away the gloom and quickly jumped outside to find her female cats.
“By the way, wife, where did the fat man and his wife go?”
Walking around the house, Zhang An found that he did not see the fat man and his wife.
"They went to play by the river, and they said they didn't need us to accompany them."
The fat man was also familiar with the village, so Su Ying simply didn't go with them and stayed at home to look after her son.
"Hey Zhang An, do you think the wall in our courtyard is a little bare? How about planting something on the wall to make it look better."
Then Su Ying pointed to the bare courtyard wall of her home and told Zhang An that the courtyard wall at home was originally made of stone and had not been applied with sand. After looking at it for a long time, it seemed a bit monotonous.
"Sure, planting a circle of flowers is quite nice. See what flowers you like, and I'll go find some and bring them back."
Zhang An is not a flower lover, right? I don't really care about this aspect, but my wife has spoken, so this must be arranged.
"What do you think of Wisteria? Decorating the two courtyard walls of our house into the Wisteria waterfall in the book will definitely be very beautiful."
When thinking of this, Su Ying's mind The text "Wisteria Waterfall" in the book immediately came to mind. I saw a brilliant lavender, like a waterfall, hanging from the sky, with neither its beginning nor its end. What a beautiful scene it was. .
It would be great if there was such a deep and shallow purple waterfall at home, Su Ying thought.
"If you think it looks good, then let's plant it. Purple happens to be very charming. In a few days, I will go to the flower and bird market in the city to see if there is any. If there is, I will buy some directly. If not, Just look at the others.”
Zhang An had never seen the scene of purple wisteria blooming with his own eyes, so he couldn't imagine what it would look like.
But purple, it must be excellent. After all, my sister said that purple is very charming.
