Fight the Giants

  Chapter 133 Group buying

   "Sister-in-law of the Huo family, are you there?"

   "Hey, come here!" Yang responded loudly, and walked quickly to open the door.

   Soon led a young woman into the yard.

   "This is my daughter Huo Xi, and this is Aunt Guan who is diagonally across from us."

   "Good morning, Aunt Guan."

   "Is this a girl?" The young woman looked like Xiaojiabiyu, and was very surprised to see Huo Xi who was dressed as a kid.

  Huo Xi smiled at her: "It's so convenient."

   "She usually fishes with us on the water, sells goods, and dresses up as a kid to facilitate walking." Yang explained with a smile.

  This Guan family has no children yet, so he stared at Huo Xi very strangely.

   Knowing that Mrs. Guan came to see the fur goods, Huo Xi hurriedly ran to the house to carry the fur goods.

   While yelling towards the wing room: "Uncle, get up soon!"

   "Are there any men in your yard?"

  Guan's face flushed red all of a sudden, he covered his face and turned around to leave.

  Mr. Yang hastily stretched out his hand to hold her: "My younger brother is still young, less than ten years old. He's still a kid, and he was still wetting the bed two years ago!"

  Ms. Guan was dubious, seeing half of the big boys walking out of the room rubbing their eyes, staring at Mrs. Yang with pouts, let out a soft breath, and smiled awkwardly at Mrs. Yang.

   Yang secretly let out a sigh of relief, this scholar is really particular.

  Guan was picking and choosing from a lot of fur goods, but he was not interested in a pile of linen.

  Generally, the family can support a scholar, and even send them to the capital to study and take exams. The family does not say that the family is rich or small, but it is better than ordinary people's family, for sure. Scholars all wear long gowns. Who do you see wearing long gowns made of linen?

  Well, I can't think about it, wearing a long gown made of linen is not enough to be ostentatious.

   lose face.

  Seeing that the Guan family had picked out seven or eight furs, Huo Xi sized her up. Seeing that there was a jade hairpin on her head and a jade bracelet on her hand, Huo Xi winked at Yang Fu.

  After Yang Fu took out several packs of brown sugar and candied dates, he said to Mrs. Guan: "Aunt Guan, let's take a look at the sucrose from the south, and the candied dates from the north. They are also very good."

   After seeing it, Mrs. Yang enthusiastically asked Mrs. Guan to try it, repeating the same rhetoric that she sold yesterday.

   "Brown sugar boiled eggs with distiller's grains? Is the effect really that good?"

   "Okay, that's it. You'll know once you try it. If you're not used to distiller's grains, you can cook eggs with brown sugar."

  Guan put down the leather goods, picked up some brown sugar with his fingers, put it into his mouth, sipped it lightly, and nodded.

   "Here, boiled eggs with brown sugar and wine lees, can men eat?" Guan asked in a very low voice.

  Mr. Yang froze for a moment, then looked at Huo Xi.

  Huo Xi nodded: "It is possible. Men can also nourish Qi and blood after eating it, and it can also refresh their minds and relieve fatigue."

  Invigorating qi and nourishing blood Guan didn’t respond. As soon as he heard that he was refreshed, he immediately ordered several packs per catty: “You don’t have wine lees?”

   "I don't have any at home, but we have a lot of distilleries in the capital, and distiller's grains are not difficult to buy."

  Guan pursed her lips.

  Huo Xi rolled her eyes when she saw this: "Does my aunt's uncle not drink alcohol?"

  Guan smiled and shook his head: "Never drink."

  Huo Xi expressed his understanding. The men in the family don't drink it, so a woman like Guan who abides by etiquette probably won't go to a wine shop where men gather to buy distiller's grains.

   "If Aunt Guan wants it, my family can help buy some. My family also helps some people in the alley to buy vegetables and firewood. If Auntie still needs eggs, my family can also help you to collect some in the village."

  Guan's eyes lit up, if someone really delivered the goods to the door, it would be great if she didn't have to go out.

   "Really? Can you buy it for us and deliver it to your door?"

Mrs. Yang took a look at Huo Xi and nodded: "Yes, yes. We are in the same alley. You buy goods, and I make money. I am too happy. I can't refuse. My family can sell cloth and sugar, and I can also help. You find other things."

   "Thank you so much."

After Guan finished speaking, he looked at the brown sugar in his hand: "I'm going to try some of the recipe that Huo's sister-in-law said just now, and my husband will also eat it together. Please help me buy some distiller's grains and eggs. Oh, by the way, firewood, I also want vegetables."

  Hearing that the Huo family still sells some groceries on the water, and mentioned some daily necessities, Yang nodded and kept it in mind.

"My family originally only sold goods on the water, mainly for the convenience of fishermen on the water. It is not easy for everyone to go to the city, which delays work. And there is no one watching the boat at the ferry in the outer city, so my family will help everyone bring some goods. If our Qiong Neighbors in Huaxiang, if you need it, just come to my house and tell us, and we will do it easily."

   "That's great." Guan Shi was infected by Yang Shi's enthusiasm, so he talked with Yang Shi about their own affairs.

  She had just been married for a year, and after her husband's provincial examination, she accompanied her husband to Beijing to prepare for next year's spring. If you pass the exam, you will be sent out together, if you fail, you will also plan to study in Beijing for a few years.

  Usually, she only does some housework at home, and doesn't like to go out in leisure time.

  Wouldn’t it be great if someone delivered the vegetables and daily necessities to the door, as if hiring a servant from outside? If the daily food and needs are solved, there is no need to buy book boys and maids.

  She and her husband were just newly married, and it was time to mix the oil with honey, and she didn't want outsiders to be mixed in.

   Husband and wife need money for studying and socializing everywhere. If they pass the exam, they need money to take care of it. If they fail the exam, they need to prepare three years of expenses for their studies. Can save a little is a little.

  Hearing that Mrs. Yang still went to the weaver's house to collect and sell cloth, he ordered a few more bolts of cotton cloth.

  Mr. Yang was overjoyed.

  Huo Xi is also happy, this inadvertently, mother has brought another business for the family?

   Is this group buying? Write down the needs of each family in Qionghua Lane, pack them together for purchase, and then distribute them? Delivery?

   hiss...

  It seems that the shopping habits of the people nowadays are quite different from those in her life. In her life, everyone was willing to go out to buy and shop, and let go of the house, but nowadays men like to be shopkeepers and ignore household affairs. Women don't like to show their faces, and they don't step out of the door.

   And the traffic is not convenient.

   Why are there so many shopkeepers?

  Hiss, it seems that this business can be done, not to mention better than fishing, but why not take one more business and make more money?

  Isn’t doing business a little bit bigger, with customers growing from scratch, gradually increasing, new customers becoming regular customers, regular customers becoming repeat customers, and then becoming more and more sticky?

   hiss...

   Yang sent Guan away, and when she came back, she saw Huo Xi twitching her two small, curved eyebrows and resting her chin in thought, while Yang Fu stood aside and looked at her quietly.

  Mr. Yang laughed out loud.

   "What are you thinking about?"

   "Mother, you have won a lot of business for the family today!"

  Mr. Yang didn't quite understand, and thought she was talking about the purchase of goods by Mrs. Guan just now. Good guy, I thought the other party was just here to buy leather goods, but in the end he bought not only eight leather goods, but also three catties of brown sugar, four catties of candied fruit, and five catties of red dates.

  How much silver is this? count.

   Thank you for your rewards, monthly votes, recommended votes, and all kinds of support, thank you very much
