Chapter 291 Business is booming
Ke Yunyun said angrily: "We are both husband and wife, why bother so much. If my husband feels sorry, he can put the house in my name and count it as my dowry. How about that?"
"It's natural. Originally, I wanted to put the house in Acheng's name, and it's the same thing if it's in your name." Tang Yu looked sincere.
Ke Yunyun was at a loss, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't"
Tang Yu smiled knowingly, "I know what you are worried about. In my opinion, it is safer for the house to be under Acheng's name, and it can also avoid a lot of trouble."
Ke Yunyun nodded, "That house fell under Tang Cheng's name."
The group of people got the house deed and keys from the officials and went to the yard immediately.
Xiao Xi rolled up her sleeves and started working, while the man helped unload the luggage.
Suchuan paid the bill with the coachman and sent them away. As soon as the courtyard door was closed, everyone immediately took off their disguises and slumped tiredly on the stools in the main room.
Tang Yu said slowly: "There are still some old furniture in the yard. I will take a look at it later. We will keep the usable ones, clean up the unusable ones, and buy new ones. I am afraid that the next few days will be very busy. Waiting for the new ones at home. Once everything is settled, I’ll go out and find a job.”
Ke Yunyun nodded obediently.
Seeing Tang Yu going to work, Suchuan lowered his voice and said: "Cousin, Tang Yu is a good person, upright and open-minded, and he is sincere to Tang Cheng. Now that this house is in Tang Cheng's name again, if you can, give it to him Giving birth to a child will not be in vain for him to treat you mother and child sincerely.”
Ke Yunyun nodded heavily. In fact, she had already considered this matter, but she had been unable to make up her mind. After their family's life stabilized, they could start preparations.
The next day, Tang Yu was busy cleaning up the house, and Suchuan also took Su Zhan to inquire about shops.
The things they brought out have not been sold yet, so they should be able to buy more money in the imperial capital.
As soon as they left, Ke Yunyun began to worry and said to Xiaoxi, "I don't know if the goods my cousin brought can be sold."
Xiao was overjoyed, "Sister, even if you don't believe them, you should believe my dear sister. Nothing she sells is bad. Look, we don't wear clothes made of other materials except cotton. There are always clothes in the imperial capital." Someone who knows the goods.”
She has also done business and has greater knowledge than Ke Yunyun.
After hearing what Xiao Xi said, Ke Yunyun no longer hesitated.
Time always flies very fast when working, and it gets dark in a blink of an eye. When the Suchuan brothers came in, they were radiant, and there was good news at first sight.
Tang Yu raised his eyebrows and joked with a smile, "It looks like my uncle has gained a lot!"
"Hahaha" Suchuan laughed, "You are really right. Today we took a cart of candy out. We originally wanted to sell it to a shop, but the shopkeeper kept lowering the price for us. A Zhan became angry and said After a few quarrels, they simply didn’t buy it.
We had no choice but to go hawking in the streets, thinking that we could sell a little more. Then we asked about the market situation. Who knew that the first house that opened the door sold twenty kilograms in one go without any counter-offer.
Just in that alley, we sold five hundred kilograms of brown sugar in that alley! It sold for 300 Wen per pound, which was nearly half the price in our area. As a result, they didn't hesitate at all.
Tomorrow we plan to continue hawking in the nearby alleys, trying to sell all the remaining brown sugar, and then start a cotton business. ”
Tang Yu congratulated him repeatedly.
Ke Yunyun was also happy for them. In the next few days, Suchuan and Su Zhan went out early and came back late, and the goods in the house became less and less.
After Tang Yu settled the affairs at the house, Suchuan and Su Zhan also sold out all the brown sugar cotton cloth.
The next thing to take action is jade.
Jade is an unusual thing. Even in the imperial capital, there are only a few shops that are knowledgeable about it. Moreover, the merchants who do this kind of business are very deep and shrewd, and their words are impeccable. They have used many methods to roughly understand the price of jade. I can't help but sigh, here The head water is so deep!
In order to sell the jade at a good price, they did not plan to come directly to ask for the price. Instead, they chose to set up a stall in the antique street so that they could take the initiative in the purchase and sale.
Tang Yu went out to look for errands, and happened to see Suchuan and a middle-aged man in Confucian clothes bargaining on the street. He immediately walked over and said, "I met Yu Shuli."
Secretary Yu turned around and looked at Tang Yu with a bit of surprise, "Aren't you the one who just went to the government office to find a job? What? Are you also interested in jade?"
Tang Yu bowed respectfully and said, "This is my uncle."
Shuli Yu suddenly realized it and laughed loudly, "So you are a family!"
Upon hearing this, Suchuan hurriedly said: "Since they are my brother-in-law's friends, we won't insist on it. We can just pay according to the price mentioned by the clerk."
"Isn't this right?" Secretary Yu really liked that piece of jade and wanted to buy it back and engrave a seal. However, his salary was limited, so he had to bargain with Suchuan. He thought it would be impossible, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened. He was excited and nervous at the same time, and also felt like he was hit by a pie.
Suchuan immediately helped Secretary Yu pack it up and handed it to him politely, "There's nothing wrong with it. It's our first time doing business today. We don't know the price of jade very well. We just rely on the price we got from asking. Since Yu The scribe is acquainted with my brother-in-law, and we are friends. Friends don’t have to worry about it so much.”
These words made people feel very comfortable. Yu Shuli stopped being pretentious, took the things, paid the money, and said to Suchuan: "It is best for you to sell jade to the east of the city, where it is easier to sell. Although antiques are sold on the street There are a lot of jade, but there are not as many noble people coming here as there are in the east of the city.”
Suchuan was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
The two immediately moved their positions.
That night.
Suchuan and Su Zhan came back with happy faces.
"Brother-in-law, the clerk Yu really got it right. There are indeed many rich people in the east of the city. I thought that only the literati liked to play with jade, but I didn't expect that the ladies from wealthy families and businessmen also like it. Today I brought you The box of jade that went out has been sold out, and there are still people coming to see the goods tomorrow, asking for larger pieces.”
Tang Yu was very happy, "Congratulations, my uncle's business is booming! I also want to share a piece of joy with you. Thanks to your help today, Secretary Yu helped me say hello to the government office, so I can go in and do things."< br>
"Huh? Is there such a good thing?" Su Zhan was a little surprised.
Tang Yu nodded with a smile, "Actually, the government office recruits some literate people to work every year. They range from clerks like Yu Shuli to petty clerks who take stock of things in the warehouse. There are quite a lot of things they can do. < br>
I didn’t have any requirements, I just wanted to find a job to earn money. For the clerk, this was just a matter of words. He said, I will be able to take up the job tomorrow, mainly to work as a clerk for the government officials. For some trivial work, the monthly salary is one tael of silver. ”
"One tael of silver is quite a lot!" Su Zhan was very envious and regretted once again that he had not let his children study and read with Tang Yu.
