Chapter 526 The blessing gained in 8 lifetimes
No matter how excited you are, no matter how happy you are, you still can't delay what needs to be tidied up.
The store is busy all day. Don't the wooden skewers and wrapping paper thrown away by customers when eating fried skewers, as well as the dust brought in, have to be cleaned up?
It’s not enough to just clean the place. The goods to be sold tomorrow also have to be moved out from the backyard and put on the shelves.
Old Mrs. Wang also smiled with wrinkles on her face. She stacked the hairpin jewelry one by one, counting the number with a laugh.
She thought to herself, "No matter who tells her that city people are knowledgeable and steady, she won't believe it anymore. Didn't you see how those people almost robbed her today?
It was as if the things in their store were free. Forget about being calm and reserved. Two young ladies almost came to blows over a set of headgear.
In the end, it was like a competition of who was richer, and they had to raise the price, and the highest bidder won. If Xiao Sanzi and Youyou hadn't said that it was not allowed to do that, maybe they could have sold it for a lot more money.
But the young lady from the Fu family was really impressive. She just raised her hand slightly and the two young ladies stopped beating.
The funniest thing was that, all those people who were fighting over food just now were suddenly giving in to each other.
However, the jewelry was finally sold, and the other lady who didn't buy the same set of headwear chose a new one.
Just these two sets of headgear, after selling them at cost, I can make a profit of nearly fifty taels of silver."
Yuanyue, Huayue, Bingyue and other maids were working in groups of three or five to arrange goods on the shelves. They also gathered together to discuss and draw conclusions from their first work of the day.
Little girl Bingyue is much more cheerful now, and her voice is full of joy:
"Tomorrow when I sell plastic cotton, I have to tell them that our cotton can be used to make more than just cotton-padded clothes and quilts. We can also take it home and spin it into yarn. I was too nervous today to explain it to them."
Yuan Yue also clapped her hands: "That's right, my introduction to boots today is not complete, and I didn't mention many advantages of our boots.
Whenever there was a boot, there were too many people buying it, and they were all so anxious that they didn’t give me a chance to talk. They just kept asking me to find the model.”
These words made the maids all look annoyed. Thinking back to today, they were not very satisfied with their performance.
I was slow and couldn't keep up. The key point was that it was a bit chaotic. Mainly because I saw too many people and I felt panicked.
Not only the maids, but also the servants in charge of the snack stalls were not very satisfied with their performance.
Zhong Shang was cleaning his stall while muttering:
“I always feel that the egg-filled pancakes I made today were not round, and the eggs were not spread evenly.
There were too many people waiting behind, so even the amount of chopped green onions sprinkled varied.”
Jianzi, who was in charge of making pancakes, also summarized:
"Today we cut the same amount of luncheon meat and braised pork dumplings, but I noticed that most people were eating braised pork dumplings. Next time, I'll prepare more braised pork dumplings. They're cheap, so people are willing to eat one or two pieces."
Zhong Shang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I have the same situation here. You have reminded me that I should prepare more meat stew tomorrow."
Bingyue's brother was re-filtering the oil for frying chicken. The lady said that the oil must be filtered every day, otherwise the fried chicken will turn black.
He also expected that he would have to discuss with the chicken farmers who supplied him with goods and order more. In just one day, he could sell 100 fried chickens, and that was not all.
My stall was the first to close because everything was sold out before noon, with nothing left.
There were still many people who wanted to buy it later, but this fried chicken had to be marinated in advance, otherwise it would not taste good and it couldn’t be prepared at the last minute.
In short, although most of the people from the nine clans were quite satisfied with today's results, the maids and servants were not very satisfied with their performance.
The main reason is that they always feel in their hearts that being able to have a family like the Jiu Zu as their master is a blessing they have accumulated in eight lifetimes.
If they don't cherish it, then they are really ungrateful.
Therefore, although they are happy that business is good today, they are more dissatisfied with their own performance today.
It will definitely be better if you work harder!
"Okay, we're almost done cleaning up, let's take a break. The food is almost ready too. We've been busy all day and haven't had time to eat lunch."
As for what to eat, they can have egg-filled pancakes, fruit pancakes, and a bowl of soy milk. They can eat as much as they want. Anyway, they have made money today, and they still have to provide everyone with a full meal.
Shen Zhiqiu ate the pancake in his hand and did not forget to instruct the maids and servants:
"From today on, you will have to spend the night in the store. When you sleep, the bedside will be covered with guns.
Our store is different from others. We have so many products and our business is good. If someone wants to steal at night, you can keep an eye on them."
Father Shen also added:
"The boys will live in the reserved rooms on the second and first floors, and the girls will live in the backyard. If they really encounter thieves, they may not be their opponents, so they should focus on saving their lives."
As a result, the maids and servants said, "Master, old master, we will definitely keep a close eye on the shop and not let even a mouse in."
"Yes, old man, there are so many of us, but we can't do anything to a few thieves. Isn't our training in vain?"
It was Li Jingshu again, although her tone was gentle, she was firm:
"It's not that I don't trust your abilities, but you have to know that there are always people better than you. What if there are some people from all walks of life?
You are young and have not encountered much. But the storybooks also say that at night when bad guys want to rob people, they blow smoke into people's houses.
So you should be alert and careful when you sleep at night. If you really don’t have the upper hand, don’t lose your life even if you lose your things.”
After hearing these words, the maids and servants' eyes were red. The lady of the host family always gave people the feeling that they were not servants, but like family members.
In fact, in the eyes of the nine clans, although these maids and servants could not be compared with those who had walked with them, they were indeed not regarded as servants.
Especially Shen Zhiqiu's family of three, they themselves came from a world where everyone is equal, so naturally they don't have the consciousness of being superior.
These maids and servants are like employees, and everyone's life is important.
Therefore, before returning home, Shen Zhiqiu, Old Man Shen, and a few other men checked the doors and windows again.
He also told Huaixu, Bingyue and others who stayed behind to lock the door and not to be afraid of eating the food cooked in the store. They could make whatever they wanted to eat, as they were all growing up and there was no need to be frugal.
A group of maids and servants stood at the gate and waved: "Master, old master, please drive slowly, we will take care of the store, don't worry, see you tomorrow!"
But when I turned around and locked the door, I realized that no one was idle after a tiring day.
The maids were in the room, making dolls according to the patterns they had learned before, while there was still light from the light tubes.
These dolls can be given to customers who spend a lot, or they can be sold directly.
Some of the boys chopped wood, and some lit the stove to make liquid plastic.
"We need to make more small plastic dolls. They are especially popular with little kids today!"
