Traveling through ancient times to be a trader

Chapter 29 Receiving food, inviting people

According to Chen Guanshi, the supply must be no less than a hundred catties, and if it sells well, it is no less than a thousand catties.

Wei Cheng had a good idea of ​​the amount Chen Guanshi needed. The inner city was full of wealthy households, and the daily sales of food ingredients were not measured by the population of a small household, but by the population of a large household.

If you make them in large batches, you can't buy vegetables in bulk, and it's not cost-effective to buy them at the market, and you need to have a fixed supply.

The best way is to go back to the hometown to buy.

The Wei Yuan family has the best relationship with Wei Cheng in the village.

After closing the stalls, Wei Cheng and Wei Lei returned to Nanbian Village.

South Village.

When Wei Cheng came back, the people in the village didn't recognize Wei Cheng's appearance. Wei Cheng wore thick workmanship clothes, but he was tall and handsome. No one would think that it was the silent and shabby Wei Cheng.

Seeing Wei Lei taking people back to the village, I was a little curious about where this man came from. He looked very good, and some unmarried girls blushed.

Some family members just want to inquire and find out for the girls and brothers at home.

Watching people go to Wei Lu's family, could it be a distant relative of Wei Lu's family?

At this time, Wei Yuan's family was in the small courtyard, and Wei Cheng knocked on the door.

"Chengzi Leizi, why are you here? Please come in."

Wei Yuan walked over to open the door and saw that he was a good brother, "Daddy, it's Chengzi and Leizi." He welcomed people in.

"Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu is good." The

two greeted.

"Chengzi and Leizi, you are here."

Wei Yuan's parents welcomed them very much when they saw them. Wei Yuan's mother even went to the kitchen to pour them a bowl of water. Wei Yuan's younger brother Wei Ping saw the two shouting, "Brother Chengzi, Brother Leizi."

"Brother Ping."

Then they all sat down.

Wei Chengcai told Wei Yuan's parents about his intention to come today.

"Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, I have negotiated a deal with people and need a lot of vegetables. I came today to ask you to help me buy vegetables and deliver them to my house every day.

" Aunt Vegetables has a lot of vegetable fields." Aunt Lu said happily.

Chengzi has done business and she is happy for others. It hasn't been a while, and everyone is quite tough. If they don't marry, they will attract the favor of many girls and brothers.

Uncle Lu said with a smile: "Chengzi, let alone purchase, how much is needed, Uncle asked your aunt to pick it in the field." There is not much money for vegetables in the field.

Wei Yuan: "Yes, Chengzi, my family grows a lot of vegetables. If you want to speak directly, you are polite to me." He knew that Wei Lei went to work for Wei Cheng, but he didn't mind at all. Before, when Wei Cheng had good things, he thought of his family first.

"Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, I need a long-term acquisition, and the daily quantity is hundreds of catties." Wei Cheng received the sincere treatment of Wei Yuan's family, and Wei Cheng received their hearts. But to do business, money still has to be given, how can it be taken for nothing.

"So many!" The

Wei Yuan family couldn't help being shocked, hundreds of kilograms of vegetables are still needed every day. For a long time, this amount is considerable, and this is a big business.

"Yes, I still need to pay for Aunt Lu to help me buy vegetables."

"No wages, it's just a small job." Aunt Lu hurriedly refused.

"This must be given, auntie, don't push it, push me to find someone else." Wei Cheng didn't waste his words.

Wei Cheng went on to say, "Aunt Lu will definitely pay for the labor of helping to buy vegetables. The wages are 20 cents a day, and I have to help find two or three people to deliver the vegetables. I am also considering asking Yuanzi to help deliver the vegetables. The salary is 30 cents. One day, I don't know if Yuanzi wants to do it?"

Twenty cents a day is only responsible for purchasing vegetables, and a delivery is also thirty cents a day, which is comparable to a day's tiring work in the county seat.

"Chengzi, this salary is too high, how can my aunt take advantage of you, ten cents a day is enough, Yuanzi is more than twenty cents."

Aunt Lu refused to accept it, so she helped to buy green vegetables, no need to do anything , how can they get high wages, their family can't always take advantage of others. Besides, there must be her family's share in purchasing vegetables. Her family can sell vegetables and make money.

Wei Yuan's family felt that the wages were too high.

"Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, buying vegetables is a meticulous job, and you must check them carefully. Vegetables must be picked fresh on the same day, and Aunt Lu also needs to help me find honest villagers to buy them. There are also busy work here and there. The wages I pay will not be high."

Wei Cheng paid the wages, which will not be recovered, so he decided directly.

Well, that's all said, Wei Yuan's family agreed, and they'll just do their best in the future.

Wei Cheng took out a piece of paper: "This is to buy vegetables. I'll tell Yuanzi later. Aunt Lu has to help me with the price. This boy doesn't know anything about vegetable prices." How much is specific is still up to those who understand.

Aunt Lu smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is wrapped around my aunt. If you have an aunt, you can definitely buy it at the lowest price."

"That's troublesome for Aunt Lu. Someday you need me to let Leizi inform you in advance."

Wei Cheng said goodbye to Wei Yuan and went straight back to the county seat, and Wei Lei also went home.

Aunt Lu went out, went to find some good friends, and negotiated prices with good people.

Those families were very excited to be able to exchange vegetables for money, and they could be hit by money at home, how could they not be happy.

Every family in the countryside grows vegetables. Vegetables are the least valuable in the countryside. Now they can sell them for money, so how can they not be excited.

After returning home, Wei Cheng looked for his neighbor, Aunt Yang.

Aunt Yang is very enthusiastic. Wei Cheng buys all the food at home. She can make some money every day and save a lot.

Wei Cheng explained that his family wanted to ask Aunt Yang to come to the house to help, help with washing, chopping and cooking vegetables, doing some chores, and earning thirty cents a day. In addition, he needed two more, and he needed Aunt Yang to introduce two qualities. Well, hardworking people.

Aunt Yang smiled even more enthusiastically, nodding her head and saying yes, such good things happened to her and she couldn't help but smile.

After Wei Cheng left, Aunt Yang hurried out to find someone.

Aunt Yang's place is the poorest household in the suburbs. This place is full of mud houses, thatched houses, and even shanty towns.

The family that Aunt Yang looked for was her husband's younger brother's family. The family had one meal but no meal, and they lived a poorer life than her family.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?" When Aunt Yang's younger siblings saw the person, a smile appeared on the poor face.

"My neighbor is looking for handymen, and I need two, so I'll come to you right away." "Really ?

" Aunt Yang said excitedly, "I'll go!

"

Both go."

The family is poor and can't afford to buy the crumbs. Her family's head is rheumatic all the year round. She can't do heavy work and can't find a job. She relies on her to wash clothes to make a few pennies. It's not every day. have to starve for a day. There are handymen, and how much money she will definitely go for.

Aunt Yang also understands the situation in her family. Everyone is poor, so she can't help, and occasionally helps.

"The wages are 30 cents a day."

Aunt Yang's younger siblings were speechless in shock, their lips trembling in disbelief, and they kept thanking Aunt Yang. If she really did this job, she would definitely do it well.

Aunt Yang looked for the second person to be a brother. He was married and gave birth to a young man. The family he married was also poor. Six or seven people lived in thatched houses. The family was old and young.

He works as a part-time worker outside the home, and he doesn't necessarily have a job. There is no vegetable field at home. The family relies on this man to earn a little money to support him. Moreover, my brother and son were born with no nutrition, and he couldn't speak for more than two years old.

Aunt Yang found his brother's house and asked him to help, and the family almost fell to their knees in gratitude.

In fact, if my brother and his mother-in-law hadn't had eye problems, they wouldn't have let him go. As for the young children at home, he also has a sister-in-law to help him.

the next day.

Wu Da brought someone who was also a trader to get the goods. Wei Cheng sold them by the pound, including the seasoning for a pound of cold dishes. Manager Chen has six cents a pound.

Wei Cheng asked people to go to his house in the afternoon. He taught them how to mix cold dishes and learned from the people called by Chen Guanshi.

Wu Da and another trader want to sign a contract, which is also to restrain the other party, and he has the right to refuse people to get the goods in violation of regulations.

After two days of study, I can go to school.

Wu Da and the others didn't dare to take too much, each one took ten jins.

Manager Chen decided on the number of kilograms, supplying 500 kilograms every day, and came to pick it up early the day after tomorrow.

Wei Cheng asked Wei Lei to go back to inform Aunt Lu to start buying vegetables, and also asked Aunt Lu to tell Li Shuiqing that he didn't need to bring the goods to his house, but sent them directly to Aunt Lu's house, and then delivered them together. Then notify Aunt Yang to start work tomorrow.

In order to complete this batch of transactions, he also deliberately built a shed in the yard at home, so as not to be afraid of the sun and rain, he also bought several large wooden pots to clean and pack vegetables, and also got two large pots in the yard to boil the vegetables.

As for Aunt Yang, they have to go to work early. Just like when he wakes up in the morning to work, they have to come to help early in the morning. There is a break at noon, and they also pack brunch. Breakfast is eaten at the stall. According to his request, because they also have lunch, so they don't have to close the stall and come back to make it.

Aunt Lu was notified, and went from house to house to notify each house of the variety and quantity of vegetables, and then went to Tangxia Village.

When Aunt Lu came, Li Shuiqing's family was cleaning bamboo shoots. There were smiles on their poor faces. They were surprised to see Aunt Lu coming.

Aunt Lu spoke directly, but at the beginning, the whole family turned pale with fright.

"Brother Qing, Chengzi, it's Wei Cheng who told you not to send the fungus bamboo shoots to his house..."

"Auntie, Wei Cheng didn't buy my family's bamboo shoots? Did he do something wrong? We can change it."

Li Shuiqing's family misunderstood that Wei Cheng did not accept his family's mountain goods, and Li Shuiqing's mother and father, who were still ill, had red eyes, and the family finally had hope, could it be gone?

Li Shuiqing's father's cloudy eyes showed sadness, and the two little ones were about to cry.

Aunt Lu looked dumbfounded, and hurriedly explained: "Oh, don't cry, it's all my fault for not saying well, Chengzi didn't want anything from your house, and asked you to send it to my house every morning in the future, and my family also helped Chengzi buy hundreds of catties of vegetables. , take it to my house and send it there together, there is no need for Brother Qing to run, it is not safe for a brother to go back and forth to the county alone every day."

Li Shuiqing's family almost broke their hearts.

Because of Wei Cheng, my family earns more than ten cents a day. I can see my life going on, my mother and father can take medicine, my family doesn't have to go hungry anymore, I have a smile every day, and I'm also afraid of losing one day. I cherish it very much. Focus on getting the job done.

Aunt Lu: "By the way, Chengzi also said that the number of bamboo shoots should be doubled. If your family can complete it, he won't find someone else to buy it. As for the number of fungus, he will take it.

" At that time, Li Shuiqing couldn't gather enough pounds.

"Yes, I can do it, my family can do it!" Li Han trembled with excitement and stammered.

Oh my god, if you double it, it's not only thirty, but thirty is thirty cents. With the addition of fungus, the daily income is forty cents.

This huge surprise, Li Shuiqing was speechless, the sick face of Li Shuiqing's mother and father turned bloody, and the two little ones jumped up in cheers.

Aunt Yang brought people over early in the morning.

The other two helpers received the notice of going to work. The two lived nearby and came together. Before dawn, they waited at the gate of Wei Cheng's house in advance, intending to come early to make a good impression on the owner.

The two stood for a while before Wei Cheng came out to open the door. He didn't know that someone was at the door, so he was a little surprised to open the door. He opened the door so that Wei Lei and Aunt Yang could come directly in later.

Aunt Yang also came out at this meeting and introduced Wei Cheng directly.

Wei Cheng glanced at it, "Come in."

When people came in, they shrank and stood aside, Wei Cheng looked at him, an aunt in his early 40s, who came to his house to cook, and paid the most attention to hygiene.

Wei Cheng was satisfied and said the rules.

"Every day at this time, I don't need to cook vegetables today, I help prepare the food to be prepared at the stall. Every day when vegetables are delivered, I will be responsible for cleaning them, cutting them and placing them on the kitchen shelf, and cooking them early the next morning. Then I will do some odd jobs, and Shen Youshi will get off work."

"Breakfast and lunch, pancakes and rice porridge are included, and Aunt Yang is in charge of lunch. I will tell Aunt Yang what to cook every day, and you can eat whatever you cook. Nothing else. , the most important thing is to have quick hands and feet, pay attention to hygiene, and if there is something you can't

come , you must inform in advance. During the trial period of half a month, you can stay if you are suitable. , I'll have breakfast later."

Aunt Yang and the others didn't expect to have two meals, and their eyes were very excited.

They all thought to themselves that they had to work diligently and must be hired for this job.

After a while, Wei Lei came.

Get to work.

And Zhou Yuan slept sweetly in the bed again and couldn't get up.

I invited someone at home, and my daughter-in-law was able to get up late. I finally ate a few times last night, and Wei Cheng worked very energetically.

Zhou Yuan slept until breakfast and was woken up by Wei Cheng.

Zhou Yuan's waist was slightly sore, his face was rosy, and he stared at people with anger.

Wei Cheng had no choice but to coax people.

Zhou Yuan didn't get very angry either. He didn't have time to get angry at this hour, the stall was already open.

When Aunt Yang and the others saw Zhou Yuan come out, they all shouted respectfully, "Master."

Zhou Yuan is embarrassed, he is not used to being shouted like this, and one of them is a neighbor, Aunt Yang, who is an acquaintance, so it is embarrassing for people to shout like that.

Just as he was about to correct it, Wei Cheng took his hand and signaled to him, this is what they should call.

First, the three were his helpers. Second, the number of people hired by this family will continue to increase in the future. His husband must get used to this title from now on, and he must also learn how to manage people.

He will teach them little by little.

The three of Wei Cheng still ate breakfast together.

Aunt Yang and the three of them were eating on the stone bench in the courtyard. Although they only had a bowl of white rice porridge and a pancake, they had never eaten such a good meal, and they were reluctant to eat it.

I even wanted to steal it home and give it to my family to taste, but I was worried that the owner would be dissatisfied, so I didn't do anything.

And after eating, you have the strength to work.

to get the job done better.

to keep this job.

The family can eat enough.

Next, in addition to busy business every day, but also busy shipping to Chen Manager.

From the first three days, the daily supply of kilograms increased to 800 kilograms.

As for Weicheng's stall, there is an endless stream of customers who come to eat every day. No matter the morning market or the lunch market, the number of customers is increasing every day.

After so long, Wei Cheng wondered why the popularity was getting more and more popular.

The main reason is that there is a market near the wharf. The market is a place for shipmen to trade goods. Many people from the outer city and the inner city will go to the wharf market to find good items. They see people eating Weicheng. The food at home looks delicious, and they all inquire about the location of the food.

In this way, without publicity, the guests can automatically drive the passenger flow, resulting in an increase in the number of passengers, not a decrease.

There are also merchants who walk through the streets every day, and they have a certain publicity effect, and the amount they sell every day is also appropriately increased.

Excluding the orders from Manager Chen, there are seven or eight taels of profit every day, and the income of the stalls is higher than that of a small restaurant.

Weicheng's stall business is good, but it has not attracted red-eyed people for the time being, and thanks to the spread of diners in the stall, it will not be eye-catching when it is packaged to restaurants.

Customers who buy it home will not attract the attention of rival merchants. Although I know that there is such a popular food stall, the number of customers in the restaurant is not small, so I don't care.

It was not until the settlement at the end of the month that they found that the turnover was low, and they began to pay attention and went to inquire about the news one after another.

Now, the Weicheng family stall has not received any advice from anyone.
