Chapter 70 Regret
Mother Yu looked at Xie Yuyan, wondering whether she should let the clan members in.
Xie Yuyan said: "Tell them, if you want to ask about the business of the water shop, don't come in." She wanted to meet the Yang clan, but now was not the time.
Mother Yu responded, what should I say? Mother Yu knew very well that from the very beginning, the eldest lady wanted to use this business to set rules for the people in the clan. How could she let them see her so quickly?
"Those people... look like they won't leave." Mrs. Zhang glanced through the window. On a cold day, the Yang clan members preferred to freeze in the yard and had no intention of moving away.
Xie Yuyan said: "They are now curious about how much money the water shop can make. Even if they can't get in, they still have to think about asking people in the yard for information."
Mr. Zhang said: "What should they do?"
Xie Yuyan smiled slightly: "Don't worry, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and they won't be able to survive it for long."
But after these people left the yard, they would go to the woman who was in charge of the water shop. , as for whether we can find out the news, it depends on how she governs.
……
"Close the door!"
When it gets dark, Yangjiashui's shop turns off the fire and prepares to close the door.
After a busy day, Mrs. Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face.
The sound of "breathing in" and "breathing out" sounded in the house, and several children from Chenyao Village gathered in front of the stove, drinking porridge and eating pancakes.
Zheng said softly: "Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry."
The dolls didn't bother to reply and just nodded casually.
Zheng went to the stove and took out another piece of hot cake that had just been cooked, and handed it to the woman next to her: "You all eat it too."
The women also smiled, The fatigue from a busy day was swept away at this moment.
Seeing a woman about to kick the cake into her arms, Mrs. Zheng said: "There are still some extra, you can take them back to aunt."
The woman said sheepishly: "Everyone. Divide it into two pieces, how can I be embarrassed..."
"Why not?" One of the women swallowed the porridge in her mouth, "Auntie is the eldest in our village. She was injured and coughed for the sake of the children. We should take more care of her."
“Besides, this is Mrs. Xie’s shop, but she let us borrow the charcoal fire here. We are just hired workers, and she can take care of us like this. When it’s our turn, how can we treat our own people in the village? Can it be calculated so clearly?"
The woman's eyes turned slightly red when she heard this.
Zheng said: "That's the truth."
When the stove was being built, Yu's mother said that the lady specially left a place in the stove so that they could use the remaining heat to cook some food. The shop closed late and it was cold, so I couldn't bear it without something warm to eat. Anyway, I had a boiling water shop, so I didn't lack these things.
Zheng was so grateful that she was speechless.
In her heart, Mrs. Xie is a wonderful person.
Although Mrs. Xie never said anything to win people's hearts, she just felt that Mrs. Xie understood their difficulties and truly cared about them.
“We just hope that Madam’s water shop will continue to open forever.”
A woman whispered.
Everyone feels the same way.
"Okay," Zheng said, "After we finish eating, we are leaving. We have to come earlier tomorrow. Maybe there will be more people buying water tomorrow."
This is awesome. It's not what Zheng said randomly.
Today's situation really shocked many people. Some people who had paid the deposit but had not come back to their senses saw this situation and came straight over to inquire about the news, with faces full of eagerness to try.
Everyone is idle in winter, and the cost of selling water flowers is very small, but as long as you put in some effort, anyone can try it.
"I also heard someone say that it will be faster to use a water tanker tomorrow."
Not many people like Dong Sansao and her family were fully prepared from the beginning. After a day, everyone had a good idea. , naturally busy buying household items.
After the meal, the lady in the inner room also settled the accounts.
"The lotus root charcoal will be sent tomorrow, you have to work harder."
Zheng responded: "Don't worry, I will definitely calculate the amount and there will be no mistakes. ”
While the two were talking, they heard a few knocks on the door, and then a chubby woman walked in.
The woman is in her thirties, has a pair of crescent-like eyes, and looks particularly kind. "I am a seller of tung skin noodles in the West Market," the woman said, "I am Sun Ji, the third family from the street."
When the woman said this, the husband of the Yang family immediately thought Get up: "No wonder the noodles are so good."
Hearing Tongpi Noodles, Chen Ping subconsciously swallowed faster, as if what was stuffed in his mouth was not pancakes, but... fragrant noodles.
Mrs. Zheng also asked: "Madam, are you here to order water?" She felt something in her heart, and some guesses were about to come out.
"No," Mrs. Sun's smile became a little more serious, "I just heard that your shop uses lotus root charcoal to boil water, so I came to ask if you sell lotus root charcoal?"
Sun has been running a Tongpi noodle shop for a long time. She has a very clear mind about how much charcoal fire she uses to cook noodles and how much money she can earn. When she heard that two buckets of hot water in a water shop cost a penny, she felt strange. Why can hot water be sold so cheaply?
Shuipuzi cannot do loss-making business.
So while others were focusing on whether the hot water could be sold, she was already wondering what kind of charcoal fire the water shop used.
After all, it's about her livelihood.
Zheng's guess was confirmed. She suppressed the joy in her heart, nodded and said: "Sell, our lotus root charcoal costs three cents per catty, but..."
Zheng pointed out Pointing to his own stove: "If you replace it with the stove in our shop, the cooking will be better."
Sun raised her eyebrows: "Is there something special about stoves?"
Zheng said with a smile: "But you don't have to worry. If you can order five hundred kilograms of lotus root charcoal, the boss will ask someone to build a stove for you without taking any money."
Mrs. Sun thought about something: "Will the price of lotus root charcoal also increase in a while?"
Mrs. Zheng shook his head: "This winter is like this. As for next year, it depends on the lotus root charcoal." Will the price increase? But the boss said that no matter how expensive it is, ordinary charcoal is no more expensive than ordinary charcoal, but our lotus root charcoal is much easier to burn than ordinary charcoal."
At this point, she paused: "No. The problem of spending money to build a stove only happens this year. Next year if we want to help build a stove, the owner will have to collect additional money.”
This is not a water shop, this is a hook to attract everyone’s attention. Bring it here, and there will be new things everywhere.
Lotus root charcoal and the stove used for lotus root charcoal are both a business.
The Yang family has built more stoves for lotus root charcoal this year. If others want to use them next year, they will naturally think of the Yang family. How can there be others?
Don’t underestimate building a stove, you will earn a lot of money.
“Your boss is really good at doing business,” Mrs. Sun couldn’t help but said, “Can I buy ten kilograms of lotus root charcoal first tonight?”
Ordinary stoves can also burn lotus root charcoal. We can also try out whether the lotus root charcoal is good or not. If it is really good, it is only five hundred kilograms of lotus root charcoal. What does it count?
Zheng said: "I will get it for my lady right now."
After sending Mrs. Sun off, Mrs. Zheng locked the door and then walked to Chenyao Village together.
The husband and wife of the Yang family also walked home carrying a lantern, and in their minds was the scene when Mrs. Sun took away the lotus root charcoal. There were thick accounts in her arms and a road in front of her. Even in the wind and snow, she didn't feel cold.
Lang Fu walked quickly and entered Yong'anfang and stepped into the Yang family's ancestral home. Just when she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she saw a few people gathering not far away.
“There’s another one, ask her.”
Lang Fu was startled, and it wasn’t until those people came closer that she realized they were members of the Yang clan.
Lang Fu said: "What are you doing?"
The Yang clan stepped forward and said, "Did you bring your accounts? Show them to us."
Lang Fu subconsciously covered his head. He looked at the accounts in his arms and said: "How can that be done? This is the business of the eldest lady, and the accounts can only be seen by the eldest lady."
The Yang clan had a bad experience today and became more and more impatient: " What kind of lady? Even though the water shop has improved, she doesn’t take the clan members seriously. It’s not her turn to speak in this family. The second old man will come back in a while, and the middle child will have to be handed over to the second lady. "
“Don’t go astray.”
The threat calmed down the man's wife.
"Who said this? Second lady?" The woman said and raised her voice, "Whoever dares to hand over the account books today will not be able to work with the eldest lady in the future. Whoever dares to snatch the account books will see what I can do. I won’t report you to the government office.”
After saying this, Lang Fu looked at the tribe: “I should advise you... don’t go the wrong way.”
"Want to see the accounts? Go to the store to do the calculation tomorrow morning, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it." The woman straightened her back, "Let me tell you, there will be big things in the next two days. You will regret it slowly, don't be anxious."
