Fight the Giants

  Chapter 160 Is there a way?

   "Huo Xi, what are you thinking?"

   "Miao Sijiu."

   "Who is Miao Sijiu?"

  Huo Xi came to his senses, turned his head to look over, saw that it was Qian Xiaoxia, and pursed his lips.

  Yang Fu followed up and knocked Qian Xiaoxia away: "What are you doing?" He looked like a hen protecting its cubs.

   "I think she's lost in thought."

   "That's up to you." Yang Fu glared at him.

   "Uncle, are you back so early?" Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, Huo Xi interrupted.

   "Well, Xi'er, many things have increased in price." Yang Fu pouted.

  Qian Xiaoxia also nodded vigorously: "If the price goes up, we won't be able to make much money." He was angry.

   "Why don't you go to the city and go back to fish with your brother."

  Qian Xiaoxia pursed her lips, glared at Yang Fu, and said no, the city is so lively.

  After hearing what they said, Huo Xi sat back down again, resting his chin in his hand.

   Such a situation was within her expectation. At the beginning, the common people didn't realize it, and they made a lot of money selling anything. But when everyone wakes up, there are small stalls selling goods everywhere on the street. There are all kinds of things for eating, drinking, playing and using.

   Those who don’t have a cart, just walk around the streets with small baskets to sell. Even those who opened shops in the city pushed ox carts and carts to sell their goods outside. The more people who sell goods, the less money they make.

   Now that even the source purchase channels have increased prices, it is even more unprofitable.

  In the beginning, Taoyedu only had sisters Xiao Miaoer and Zou Sheng sell goods with Huo Xi and the others. Later, Ma Ji and Qian Xiaoxia all came.

  Everyone can earn dozens of copper coins in one night, very happy and full of excitement.

   But only ten days after the sale, the market heat started to drop.

   It’s not that there are fewer people, there are not many people. The people outside the city and nearby Yanheyan counties are crowding into the capital. There are not many people, but there are more competitions, and the people’s desire to buy tends to be more rational.

For example, she and Yang's velvet flower sales doubled their income from the beginning, and they could be sold short in an hour or two. Now, a velvet flower can only earn a dozen or twenty yuan. Not sold out.

  Push out the cart and look around, all of them are selling velvet flowers. Not only send handkerchiefs like her family, but also send purses, sachets and so on.

  Business is not doing well.

   To continue the business, there must be scarce purchase channels. It would be better if the source of goods is unique to oneself. In addition to the supply of goods, we need to develop more sales channels...

   "Huo Xi, do you have any good ideas?"

"Yes, I have."

   "What way?" Qian Xiaoxia happily sat down next to Huo Xi.

  Yang Fu pulled him in disgust, but his **** was too heavy to pull. With a flick of his mouth, he sat down next to Huo Xi's other side.

   "Isn't your mother also selling goods? Go back and ask your mother, maybe your mother has a better way." Huo Xi squinted at him.

  Qian Xiaoxia pouted: "I'll go back and ask her, can I keep the three melons and two dates in my pocket? And what can she do?"

   It's not that she looks down on her mother, maybe her mother doesn't earn as much as him these days.

  Huo Xi glanced at him and smiled.

   Mrs. Sun wants to get money to sell the goods with Xiaoxia, so it is good to have a helper. But Qian Xiaoxia insisted on going with people like Yang Fu and Xiao Miaoer. It made Mrs. Sun very angry.

   These days, Qian Xiaoxia followed Yang Fu and others and made a lot of money. But Yu Ya and Zou Sheng saved whatever they earned, while he earned two and spent one.

  If you see this is delicious, you have to try it, and if you see that it is delicious, you have to rush over to buy a drink. Wherever there is excitement, where to drill.

  For so many years in the past, he was detained on the boat, and once he was released, it was a great deal of fun, and no one could hold him back. The people at Taoyedu went back to the boat at the ferry at night, so he insisted on crowding with Yang Fu, saying that he was willing to sleep in the courtyard.

   In the past ten days, Mrs. Sun really didn't know how much he earned.

   It is rare for Yang Fu to have a companion, and there are not many others.

   smiled and said: "You see, we buy from others and ask for other people's things. Of course, we can only buy at what price they say."

   Seeing the two nodding their heads, they said again: "But if it's our own, we don't need to buy from others, so we can earn more?"

  If you want to make a lot of money, you have to have your own source of goods. If you can't produce and provide it yourself, you have to minimize the intermediate links as much as possible. With fewer middlemen and lower costs, profits will naturally increase.

   "You mean we do food and food by ourselves?" Qian Xiaoxia rolled his eyes happily.

Well…

   "That's right." Huo Xi nodded.

   "If your mother knows how to make noodles, cakes, pastries, etc., you can make them yourself and sell them. Of course, you will earn more than others."

   "Just like those who sell glutinous rice **** and noodles?"

  Qian Xiaoxia's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed again: "It will take a lot of things to buy, and one or two people won't be able to handle it."

  His family has two boats, at least one person must be left to guard them. Three people have to work on a food stall, wash, cook, and greet customers...

  Six hands may not be enough, and I can't go anywhere all night, I can only walk around the stall.

   "How much money can I make that night?"

  Huo Xi thought for a while: "For example, for those who sell glutinous rice balls, it's not a problem to sell two or three hundred bowls a night."

   "But my mother doesn't know how to make glutinous rice balls. And even if she learns it, if it doesn't taste good, others may not buy it." And he doesn't want to sell glutinous rice **** at the stall all night.

  Even if he can earn half a tael in one night, even if the three of them share more than he can earn by selling a basket alone, but he can't do anything all night and can only walk around the stall.

  I was too busy to lift my head, so I could only stand at the stall selling glutinous rice balls. He still likes to sell in the streets and alleys, and he can also watch the excitement.

  Huo Xi glanced at him, this is not a guy who can watch the shop. He is a bit wild in his bones, and being a merchant is not suitable for him.

   "I don't know what to do to make money." Huo Xi said.

   She doesn't want to sell soup, soup, water, it's too hard, and she doesn't want Yang to do it.

   Seeing the disappointed faces of the two, Huo Xi thought for a while, and suggested: "Let's go outside and have a look before we talk." After speaking, he led the two of them out of the yard.

  In Mu Mansion, Mu Yan is preparing to have lunch.

   These days are really comfortable. Since he was bestowed by His Majesty, even his classmates who usually don't like to talk to him in the Imperial College have come to talk to him. The mansion is also peaceful.

  His mother-in-law Cheng has a smile on her face these days, she is no longer the stagnant pool before.

  The day after the seal was sealed, the empress gave back gifts to all the wives, and Mrs. Cheng also got several bolts of brocade, and she was eager to make clothes for him herself.

   Within a few days, the uncle of the grandparent Cheng's family was also recalled by Emperor Yongkang to serve in the capital. Cheng was very happy for several days, she was able to see her natal family! No longer alone in the capital.

  Ding Guogong's Mrs. Mu, that is, his second aunt, also posted a message to the Cheng's house, saying that a family banquet was held, and he was invited to spend the mansion with the Cheng family.

  Ms. Cheng replied to the post, saying that she would take him across the house for a few days.

  Mu Yan tapped her fingers on the table, feeling happy.

   It doesn't seem so bad to lose my identity.

  Looking at the meals on the table, his eyes swept over one by one. Although there are many dishes, the portion of each is not much, only a few mouthfuls.

   Knowing that he doesn't like wasting money, Cheng also wanted him to eat well, so he ordered the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes for him every meal. They all pick up what he likes to eat.

  Mu Yan twitched the corner of his mouth and picked up the chopsticks.

   One bite of food, one bite of rice, delicious. After eating a bowl of rice, he felt a little unsatisfied. He glanced at the table and stretched his chopsticks towards the plate containing Sixi meatballs.

   He grabbed one and held it in front of his eyes to see what it was made of. Suddenly his face tightened, the chopsticks loosened, and the ball fell to the ground.

   Grumbled around on the ground a few times before stopping.

  Mu Yan pressed tightly on her abdomen with one hand, her expression painful.

   With the other hand, he slammed the bowl to the ground with difficulty, and there was a crisp "ding".

  Leaving the first hurdle and pushing the door twice to enter, seeing Mu Yan falling down, his eyes were about to split open: "Young Master!" He rushed up.
