Chapter 183 What is so smelly?
Ah!If she can't do it anyway, then don't expect others to do it.

Time can dilute everything, such as the death of her parents, or the people who died in the flood. Now she has almost forgotten what Yang Xiuyuan looked like.

Before the news came, she had to do whatever she was supposed to do. She didn't travel through time for a man, let alone live and die for her.

But the shop was really nice, with three bays and a spacious and bright lobby. There were only simple tables and chairs left by the previous landlord, which were covered with dust.

Standing in the hall, you can see the yard at the back, which has a bluestone pad, simple green plants, two cypress trees over two meters high, and holly planted in the surrounding flower fences.

There are no corridors on the left and right sides, only walls. There is also a three-bay house at the back, with bedrooms and a kitchen. There is a small door in the corner of the courtyard wall, which is connected to the backyard and is a latrine and a woodshed.

In fact, it's not that big. If you divide it into a small amount, there won't be much left.

Shen Qing called Niu Bao and Huo Lin over, pointed at the shop, and said to him: "If you open a shop here, you and Xiao Linzi will be responsible for looking after the shop, purchasing and shipping goods, and keeping accounts. Do you understand?"

The two were at a loss.

"Girl, I've never done business. What if I mess up?"

"Sister Qing, I don't know how to keep accounts. You asked me to set up a small stall and sell some gadgets. This... is too big. I'm afraid it won't work well."

Shen Qing rewarded a Maolizi alone, "Can you two be a little bit talented? Just learn it if you don't know how to do it. Start small first, and then expand it when you are familiar with it. As for bookkeeping, I have taught you some before, and I will do it as I go. It’s not difficult to learn at the same time.”

Niu Bao looked at the empty shop and wondered: "Then what can we sell now?"

Shen Qing thought about it for a while, then clapped his hands and said, "Sell the mountain products first. I will go back and ask Uncle Fan to notify you. I will receive the goods at home and then sell them here. Our homemade salted fish, soybean paste, and mushrooms from the mountains." Game.”

Niu Bao: "Huh? You can't make much money from these things, right?"

"What do you know? Small profits but quick turnover. The more goods we sell, the more we make. Just do as I say."

When she got home that day, she asked Boss Fan to let the news out.

Because the Shen family had a good reputation for hiring people to do the work, and they were given cash so they would not be owed even a cent. Even if the price was cheaper than what they sold in the market, it was still worth it.

Of course, some people have raised doubts.

For example, Tian Caiyu came over after hearing the news. Her family made good pickles, but they were soaked in floods and the pickles became smelly. She wanted to pass off the pickles as good ones, so that Shen Qing would accept the things given to her for the sake of relatives. Well, it’s not something you eat at home anyway, so if it smells bad, it just smells bad, it doesn’t matter.

However, when she opened the two jars she brought in the Shen family's courtyard, the stench instantly spread for several miles, and the people building houses across the road could smell it.

"What smells so bad?"

"Did someone fall into a manure pit?"

"Hey, go and see who fell into the manure pit."

The smell couldn't be concealed even if he tried. Tian Caiyu finally felt a little embarrassed and apologized: "It was originally two jars of top-quality pickles, slightly sour and not hairy at all. Who would have thought that there was a flood and it ended up like this?" But it’s still edible, it doesn’t have maggots, it’s just a bit black, just wash it twice before eating.”

Grandma Shen covered her nose and waved her hands in disgust, "It stinks like this. How can you eat it? If it ruins people's stomachs, we can't afford to pay for it. I think it's better to pour fertilizer into the manure pit." Tian Caiyu hurriedly waved her hands, "Here, this is something to eat. How can I pour it? Besides, I came all the way to get it and paid for the oxen carriage fare. For the sake of our relatives, you can give me some. It's so nice."

Shen Hui held her breath and said: "Little aunt, we are doing business, not buying food for ourselves. Business has business rules. How much is the right amount. If everyone comes to ask for favors, then our business We can’t do it anymore, so you’d better take the things back, we can’t take them.”

Tian Caiyu's face was serious and she was about to jump.

Shen Qing also smelled it and came out of the house.

As soon as Tian Caiyu saw her, she hurriedly ran up and stopped in front of her, "Girl Qing, for the sake of your second aunt and my mother-in-law, you can't let me take it back as is, right?"

Shen Qing covered her nose and glanced at the people in the courtyard. They were all looking at her, as well as several villagers who also came to deliver mountain goods, as if they were waiting for her to make a decision, or in other words, to see what she would do.

Of course, Shen Qing couldn't refute sister Zi's words, so he said with a smile: "My little aunt came from afar. Although the summer is over, there is still heat. Aunt and I will come in to have a cup of tea, rest, and talk slowly, Niu Bao, Move those two jars of stinky pickles to the side, don't block the ones that are going to be weighed at the back. Also, my sister is right, when we collect mountain products, the quality must be good. The price can be negotiated, but we definitely don't want defective products. Dear uncles, After Auntie returns, she can spread the word to the people in the same village and ask them to send wild products as well. As long as they are rare wild products that other families don’t have or homemade sauces, my family will accept them."

"There is freshly brewed tea in the morning on the porch. There are also stools to rest on. If you are hungry, there are also rough meals."

While she was talking, she pushed Tian Caiyu to Chunju and Luo Qin.

The two of them held one of Tian Caiyu's arms and dragged her toward the main room.

"Hey, I'm not thirsty or hungry. I have to rush home before dawn!"

She was shouting from the front, and Shen Qing followed closely behind.

After entering the main room, Luo Qin was very strong and pushed her down on the chair. Chun Ju poured her tea again.

Tian Caiyu was confused by this battle, so she could only say: "If you don't want it, I'll take it back. There's no need to detain me, right?" She didn't buy or sell by force, really.

Shen Qing walked in, picked the chair opposite her and sat down, "Look what my aunt said, we are relatives, can I watch you Bai Zhongyin? You only need to answer a few questions for me."

"Well, just ask."

"Are these two jars the only stinky pickles you have at home?"

"That's not true, there are still two jars. Last winter, winter pickles were planted in my garden and on the ground. My mother-in-law is an expert at making pickles, and the pickles she makes are delicious, so... If you do a little too much, it will basically stink.”

Shen Qing thought for a while and said: "Well, you go back tomorrow and bring the remaining stinky pickles, and I will collect them together. Well, the original price of pickles is three cents per catty, but yours is smelly and there are all the pickles inside." It's smelly water, so let's give it a fixed price based on this jar, and I'll give you a hundred cents for each jar, how about that?"

One hundred cents is the price of a day's work for a long-term worker. Just ask the people across the street to find out.

"Really? Are you lying to me?"

"Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other hand, how can I lie to you, but we have to tell the ugly story first. Since I bought it, you don't have to worry about what I want these smelly pickles. After all, I have my use. You want it?" If you don’t want to sell it, that’s fine, just take it back now, I won’t stop you.”
