Chapter Thirty-one Germination
The business of the silk and satin shop is pretty good, and the way the shopkeeper and waiters treat people is also up to standard. If you look at Yuqing from a modern perspective, the style of the ready-to-wear section is too monotonous. When he came in, Yuqing glanced at it briefly, and he knew
There are several silk and satin shops nearby. If you want the silk and satin shops in the villa to be different, you can work hard in this regard.
Yuqing spoke her thoughts in a low voice, and Xuan Ye was busy writing it down in a notebook. Zhen'er spoke her thoughts.
"Master, rich families have tailors in their yards. Women in poor families usually do sewing, mending, cooking and laundry. Is there not much room for development in this area?"
"Jhen'er, if the styles of our clothes are novel, the price of buying cloth and sewing it ourselves is about the same as buying ready-made clothes. There is still a market for ready-made clothes, and if there is a market, there will be money to be made."
"Master, this is a way to make money. We used to have two tailors in our villa, but unfortunately they both died this time. Ye Xuan knows that there are a few clever women in the villa, and they also work during the New Year's Day.
There are quite a few. Why not just ask these women to make ready-made clothes in the shop, but there is not much room for development in the style of clothes."
"Xuan Ye, if we want to make our business bigger and stronger and make more money, we need to use our brains and think more. We want to be in front of others and do things in front of others." Yuqing said, thinking about her multi-functionality.
A large supermarket. If you have time, go ahead and draw a few drawings of clothing styles that match this dynasty.
As the girls said, they walked into the food shop again. The traffic of the food shop was several percent higher than that of the silk and satin shop. Food is the most basic thing for people no matter what dynasty or generation they are. But here, in addition to rice, flour, grains and pigs,
There was nothing else in the oil. Yuqing's mind was aroused again, looking at the two guys who came to the door and dozed off when there was no business. Yuqing thought of the modern steamed buns and buns, Hanajuaner, a way to solve the problem of making money for women in the villa.
The method is formed in the mind.
"Xuan Ye, let's open a deli area here."
“Deli section?”
"We sell some steamed buns, flower rolls, steamed buns and dumplings here, so that if you don't have time for breakfast in the morning, or the women at home don't like to cook, you can just buy them back and eat them," Yuqing explained.
"Master, we know this. Restaurants and restaurants also sell some well-made dry food pancakes and the like. But what are steamed buns and dumplings?" Ye Xuan asked while writing down in her notebook. This reminded Yu Qing. Time travel to
It's been a while since I've been here, and I've never eaten anything with fillings. It seems that if I could promote buns, dumplings, and pie-like foods to this dynasty, it would not only satisfy the appetites of the ancients, but also make money flow freely.
Make money.
"Baozi dumplings are made with meat and vegetables wrapped in dough."
"Master, just stew the vegetables and meat. I've never heard of wrapping them in dough."
"I also suddenly remembered that this way of making pasta and rice can save time. Ye Xuan, Zhen'er, don't interrupt me all the time. I'll make some for you to try when I get back. If it tastes good, I'll find it.
There are several women in the villa who specialize in this area of business.
"Master Yuqing, I also think this way of eating is simple and quick. Master, if you try it successfully, you won't have found another way for the women in the villa to make money."
"Master, you always have those weird ideas in your head. But opening a new shop requires capital, so why not start in this grain shop."
"Xuan Ye, if you have ideas, you need someone to support you."
"Manager, that is necessary. We are the management team of the villa. It is difficult to be the leader, and it is even more difficult to be the leader when you have to think about making money."
After spending half a day secretly inspecting two shops, the three ladies also thought of ways to make money. The carriage from the villa also arrived in front of an ordinary courtyard.
Before the carriage stopped, the old woman who looked after the door came out and greeted her: "Mute old woman, you haven't been here for a long time. Is it the old manor or his wife who wants to buy the person this time?" The woman finished greeting her.
He didn't expect the mute woman to answer, and kept her eyes fixed on the carriage at the villa.
"Mother-in-law, our old village owner is dead, and his wife doesn't care much anymore. I'm bringing our new village owner to buy someone this time. I wonder if you have anyone younger here." Mute Woman
Zi jumped out of the carriage and replied, which actually startled the woman who was watching the door.
"Mute woman, you, you can speak."
"Thanks to the help of a miracle doctor, my mute woman can speak again. These are our new owner of the village and his two assistants."
"Hey, mute woman, you are really lucky. I have dozens of new half-year-old children here, and several of them can't speak. I'm worried that I can't sell them at a good price. How about you all?
Buy it back and ask the miracle doctor to take a look."
"Mother-in-law, it doesn't cost money to see a miracle doctor. I'm still a driver, and it's up to the village owner and the ladies to decide what kind of person to buy. Please take us three ladies inside to talk."
After walking into the courtyard, I saw that there were houses against the courtyard wall, and a circle of houses surrounded an open space. In the open space, people were already choosing and buying people. Passing through the open space of the buyers and sellers, the doorkeeper put the jade clear
Several people were brought into a room and saw the people here.
Without much pleasantries, Yuqing bluntly stated the conditions for the purchase. The 20 boys must be under the age of 10, and the 10 girls must be under the age of 12.
"Oh, this little village owner, are you buying it back to work on or to support it?" Ren Yazi, an elderly woman, asked in an unclear manner.
"It's almost as if we were offering sacrifices. Almost all the men in our villa are dead. The old people say that there is too much yin energy and too little yang energy in the villa. Boys under the age of 10 still have the body of a boy with yang energy.
Enough. Besides, ten years old is a big hurdle. If you buy it back, you can at least support it for a year or two. Granny Ya, you know."
"Miss Village Owner, my wife understands. I understand. The housekeeper who comes to buy people is also because there are too few men in the yard. Therefore, as long as you are a man, no matter you are old or young, the price is much higher. Just pay for it.
For boys under the age of 10, your villa is the first one. In the past, women were more expensive, but now men are several percent more expensive than women."
"Mother-in-law, please stop fooling people here. I didn't say that my ears are good at hearing before. The difference between a man and a woman is two taels of silver."
"Silly old lady, no one dares to fool you if I fool you. Nowadays, things are different from the past. The imperial court is very strict with their investigation. The origins of this group of people are complicated, and I wish I could have sold them all as soon as possible. I will sell all those who meet the age requirements
The boys and girls are called to gather in the yard. You go and choose the little owner of the village." The old lady said with fear in her heart. It turned out that the old owner of the village was quite easy to talk to, but this mute woman was not easy to mess with.
There were dozens of children standing in the yard, more girls than boys. There were no options for the boys, and there were not many left after all. A few of them looked unpleasant and were eliminated by Yuqing.
.As for the girls, Michelle Ye and Zhen Er chose again and again. In a short while, all 30 children were chosen.
"Little owner, the price of boys used to be 20 taels of silver, but now it has tripled. For these 20 little boys, I will give you a friendly price of 50 taels of silver each."
"Ya Laozi, the main purpose of the boy's return is to control the Yang Qi house. The owner of this village does not bargain. The girls are ten taels of silver each. Zhen'er, give me the money."
"Little owner, I didn't make any money on the girls, but the boys were paid the same price. I made a huge loss on this transaction."
"Master Ya, these children look so tender and well-dressed. They don't look like poor people who sold their children when they couldn't survive. If it weren't for the decline of Yin and Yang in our Villa, the owner of the Villa wouldn't want to spend money at this time.
It’s troublesome to buy. Let’s not talk about losing money and making money. If you want it, we will pay the money and take him away. If you don’t want it, we will find another one.” Yu Qing said with a smile.
"Little village owner, you are a bit smarter than the old village owner. That's all, just like what the little village owner said, I will have less trouble if I lose money. To tell you the truth, the people from the court just left in the morning. I come here every day to check, check.
You are so annoyed."
"Be careful what you say!" said the mute woman, and walked out of Renyazi's yard with 30 children. She rented two carriages from the carriage shop next to her, and then looked at Yuqing and asked.
"Villa owner, you have to send these children back to the villa first. Let's come back in the afternoon."
"This going back and forth takes up too much time. We can't waste time filling up the dry well behind."
"Master, why don't Zhen'er and I go back first and settle these dozens of children? Dry Well is too scary and I don't dare to go there again," Ye Xuan said hurriedly.
"Okay, then my master and I will go to the Chenghuang Temple to find some beggars."
The City God's Temple has almost reached the edge of the imperial city. In the distance, you can see a large piece of grass. A temple on the other side of the grass has collapsed and looks ugly.
"Yuqing, this City God's Temple was very popular not long ago. During the two palace upheavals, many people fled here, and finally the place became like this."
"Master, many people must have died here, but I don't know if there will be beggars here."
"There is no day when I am really begging for food that I am not living on the edge of death. Not to mention that many people have died here. Even if they are next to the dead, they can still eat and sleep. I just want to find strong people here who can help us.
The people who use it have little hope."
"As long as the person is healthy and not crazy or stupid, it will be fine. Take it back and carve it carefully. The villa needs its own armed force, Master, but I will have to trouble you."
"Yuqing, the dozens of young men in the villa before the palace change were trained by your master and me. Who would have thought that with just a piece of paper in the palace, those young men would be deceived into entering the palace. It was said that the new emperor wanted to repair the palace, but he came back
What was left was a cold corpse. The second time the new emperor went to the hunting ground, all the men over 10 years old died in vain. How many innocent people died in the two palace transformations, except for the Yanwai Castle who dared to compete with the imperial court.
We, the common people in the villa, are the meat and potatoes on the chopping block of the imperial court. In the final analysis, we are not strong enough. My old lady must teach these 20 boys martial arts. Apprentice, just go ahead and see that the government is forcing the people to rebel.
It’s sprouted.”
"Yes, how many people can support such an emperor wholeheartedly? It is only a matter of time before the people rise up and drive the faint emperor away. Master, not only boys and girls, Yuqing wants to train alone."
"Okay, it turns out that in every courtyard of our villa, there were people secretly learning kung fu from me, and the master also knew that there were a few girls who had ambitions in this area. When the old villa owner was here, he felt that it was still better to dance with guns and sticks.
Men have an advantage. The situation is different now, Yuqing, I will help you contact those girls secretly. Just go ahead and do it boldly, the master will be your strong backing."
"Thank you, master. Yuqing thinks this part of the power should be trained secretly in the dark."
"My child, you have thought carefully. There are traitors in Yuanwai Villa, so we must be careful."
The master and the apprentice walked all the way through the grass and came to the ruins of the City God's Temple. The half-collapsed house was covered with grass, and a few relatively intact windows were also blocked with curtains made of grass. At this time, the City God's Temple
It's very quiet in there.
"Yuqing, judging from the appearance of the Chenghuang Temple, there should be someone living in it. It's just that he has been out begging for food and hasn't come back yet. Let's go in and take a look."
