Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Chapter 54 Opening

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, the weather was fine, cloudless, and the sun was shining.

There are a lot more pedestrians on Ping An City Road, some ride cars, some pull carts, some walk, some carry burdens, and some carry baskets.
At the beginning of the new year, the industrious Chinese people started to run around for their livelihood again after the new year.

Wars have to be fought and money has to be earned. As long as the devils don't blockade them, they won't be able to stop the people from running around.

If you don't make money, how to support your family and how to live, the more troubled times are, the more hard work you have to pay.

The beginning of spring is early this year, and the weather on the sixth day of the new year can already make people feel warm.

The implementation of the ban on guns made Xu San feel that the New Year's opening was less ceremonial.

The little girl Xu Dongmei was wearing a red padded jacket and was holding a bear in her arms to help her mother clean up the shop. On Xu San's side, he could simply wipe it off. As a man who is not diligent and doesn't know the grains, it is not easy for him to wipe the counter. .

Two high-end bears and three low-end bears were added to the shelves, and the price difference was twenty times.

The reason for making this price is because Xu San only wants to make money from the big dog.

As for the low-end ones, he didn't want to make money, but mainly wanted to enrich the spiritual life of the children in Ping'an County.

The pimp cat that can attract customers is placed on the left side of the shop, within a five-meter radius just enough to cover Ma Cuilan's tailor shop.

I bought a lot of mountain products from fellow villagers who came to the city, and some small handicrafts that don’t take up much space, which can be regarded as continuing to enrich the inventory of the small shop.

Things from my hometown are really cheap. You can buy three catties of ocean-sized dried matsutake for ten cents.This food is delicious, but it is too expensive. It turns out that in the supermarket, the kind that is only the size of a fingernail costs more than 500 catties.

Clean up, keep accounts, add a price, put all the things that can be placed on the shelves, and put the bigger ones in the back compartment of the store.

I picked the smallest basket and gave it to the little girl as a bear, so that she could free up her hands to help her mother with work.

A morning passed quickly, Xu San only sold a pack of matches, Ma Cuilan was better than her, and accepted two pieces of work for changing clothes.

Looking at the sun rising three poles, Xu Sanpeng pondered:

Why can't the bear be sold?

This workmanship and materials only sell for two oceans, which is not expensive.

Even if you think it is expensive, there are cheaper ones nearby, so you only buy a dime.

"Brother, how is the business in the morning?" Ma Cuilan gave the changed clothes to the customer, and walked out of the counter to chat with Xu San.

"I sold a pack of matches one morning." Xu San said weakly.

"That's right. Didn't you often fail to sell anything after driving for a day?" Ma Cuilan said with a smile.

As an old neighbor for several years, she still knows what Xu San's grocery store is like.

Xu Sanyi thought, indeed, it is true that he has been fishing for three days and drying nets for ten days, so it is no wonder that he can sell things.

"Sister-in-law, have you made those skins?" Xu San asked about the little bear's clothes. He thought, if he put clothes on the little bear, would it attract others' attention.

"I made two small gowns and a foreign skirt, but I didn't make the cheongsam you mentioned. I think Xiao Xiong is too fat to wear a cheongsam. And the pictures you drew of those clothes, my sister-in-law can't understand."

Ok……

Xu San made up his mind, and the chubby little bear really didn't look good in a cheongsam.

As for those blueprints... maybe a little too abstract.

"By the way, how much does your little bear sell for?" Ma Cuilan asked curiously.

Xu San quoted the price.

Ma Cuilan had a look of disbelief, "One point and two oceans away!?"

"There are also cheap ones."

"Then the difference between the two is too much. If you can sell it at that price, it will be enough for you for three months." As a person who does the work and supplies, he certainly knows the cost of those little bears, even if that one She also thinks that Xu San's low-end bears are expensive.

"No, it's our family eating for a month and a half."

Ma Cuilan covered her mouth and laughed: "You do your calculations very clearly."

"Didn't you say that, brothers will settle accounts clearly."

While talking, the opposite door opened, and a middle-aged man in his 30s walked out from inside.

The middle-aged man was wearing a top hat, a dark gray gown, and a pair of leather shoes. He looked neat and clean.

Xu San didn't know this man. In his memory, the door was an old couple.

"Sister-in-law, aren't we an old couple with an old man at the opposite door? I remember that there seems to be no one else in his house?" Xu San asked.

Ma Cuilan seemed to know this person, having met him a few days before the Chinese New Year, "The house across the street was sold, and the old man and the old man left, as if they had gone back to their hometown."

From his clothes and demeanor, Xu San could tell that the person in front of him should be from a big city.

After the middle-aged man opened the door, he walked straight up to Xu San, cupped his hands, and made a bow: "Happy Chinese New Year, both shopkeepers!"

Xu San and Ma Cuilan also cupped their hands and said, "Happy Chinese New Year."

"Business is booming!"

"Thank you."

After exchanging pleasantries, the middle-aged man introduced his background. His name is Tian Wang. He came from Taiyuan to Ping'an City to do some business. The reason why he bought the house opposite was because he had an expert look at it. The Feng Shui on the opposite side is good.

Tian Wang first looked at the materials in Ma Cuilan's shop, and then at the samples Ma Cuilan hung aside for display.

Ma Cuilan's workmanship was very good, and he was very satisfied with it, so he directly ordered three small gowns, saying that they were going to be worn by the staff in the future.

Seeing this posture, Xu San knew that Tian Wang's business should be quite big. Before the business opened, he ordered uniforms in advance.

Surname Tian?

Taiyuan?

Could it be that the little rich woman sent her here to retaliate?
But think about it, probably not.

The little rich woman can be regarded as a revolutionary worker, so she should not be so narrow-minded, and her identity is sensitive, so she will not be ignorant.

However, Xu San was wrong.

The little rich woman really wanted revenge, and she wanted to kill someone with a knife.

Tian Wang was indeed the Tian family who came to Ping'an County to do business, but this was not Tian Xue's idea, but the idea of ​​the old man of the Tian family.

In order to better support the Eighth Route Army, the old man specially appointed his confidant as the shopkeeper of the Ping'an County branch.

The ancients were superstitious and believed in Feng Shui.

So Ms. Tian bought Mr. Feng Shui, and deliberately chose the address of the store opposite Xu San's house.

Its purpose is simple, that is, I will sell what you sell, and the price here is low.

However, Miss Tian probably made a wrong calculation, because Xu San didn't care what his shop could sell at all.

After Tian Wang paid the deposit, he came to Xu San's shop.

His idea is very simple. Neighbors and neighbors have a long time to come. The two small businesses across the street will see each other in the future. The sixth day of the junior year can be regarded as opening a business. Taking care of the business can also be regarded as a way to get closer to each other.
