Qin Xinfang sent Bai Yitang away, stopped for a while at the bottom of the hall, and then went to the backyard.

   Qin Wenyin was playing the game of you chase me on the grass with Niuniu. The two of them ran flushed, and the pale sickness disappeared long ago.

  He Zipei just sat under the porch and watched, cheering on Niu Niu for a while, then pointing at Qin Wenyin to grab Niu Niu quickly, laughter filled the whole garden, cheering endlessly.

   Niuniu giggled and ran around. When she saw her father appearing, she slammed into his arms and said with a big laugh, "Daddy, save me, my aunt is going to catch me!"

   Qin Xinfang picked up Niuniu, touched her neck and said disgustedly: "The sweat all over is about to stink, go take a bath with your mother."

  Niuniu climbed out of her father's arms and ran towards her mother.

  He Zipei smiled and picked him up, nodded slightly to the two of them and said, "Then I'll take her to bathe first."

   Qin Xinfang nodded, looked at her sister and said, "Wen Yin accompanies me to go for a walk by the lake."

   Qin Wenyin responded with a smile.

   There is a small lake in the backyard of Qin Mansion, and there is a pavilion by the lake. At this time, the weather is already hot, and sitting in the pavilion feels cool.

  Qin Xinfang stood in the pavilion with his hands behind the lake, tilted his head slightly and looked at his sister and said, "Bai Yitang came over just now."

   Qin Wenyin's hand pouring tea couldn't help.

Qin Xinfang knew when he saw it, and said, "Wen Yin, you are already an adult, I don't need to worry about this kind of thing for you, and I won't owe you, it's all up to your heart. Bai Yitang came to me just to inform Yu. I don't want me to interfere in your affairs."

   "But I'm very happy that he can think of you so much. Wen Yin, no matter what happens to you in the future, personally, I admire Bai Yitang very much."

   Qin Wenyin was silent for a long time before she said, "Qinghe..."

   Qin Xinfang shook his head and chuckled, "I'm afraid Qinghe already knew about this matter. Wen Yin, your son is smarter than you know, and Bai Yitang is more frank than you think."

   He reached out and patted her hand and said, "You are still young, and you still have a long way to go. It's better to consider this matter carefully, but if you don't like him, don't force yourself. My sister deserves better."

   Qin Wenyin's eyes were slightly red, and the arm holding Qin Xinfang was sore and speechless for a while.

   At this time, Bai Yitang, who had just returned to Gu's residence, was carrying his apprentice to go shopping, no, to inspect the market.

   Falling in love is a very expensive thing, not to mention that he is still in the pursuit stage, and he has to spend more money. When he actually gets a wife in the future, it will cost more. So he has to generate income.

   His apprentice bought him a few acres of land in Yazhou, but the annual rent is enough for him to live well. It is completely impossible to live well, especially in the capital.

   Before, he had no problem eating and drinking his apprentices, but he couldn’t eat and drink apprentices after getting married, especially when his apprentice’s son-in-law was still his stepson.

   The master and the apprentice stood at the entrance of the street, watching the lively and bustling pedestrians for a moment before Li Baolu asked, "Master, do you want to do business?"

   "Do you think Master is like a business material?"

   "Like!" Li Baolu said decisively: "The major sects and chivalrous men in the rivers and lakes sent congratulatory letters, and they must still remember the money that you blew away years ago."

   Bai Yitang left her and walked forward. Li Baolu trotted to catch up and said, "So Master, are you planning to do business? Or go farming?"

"Whether it's doing business or farming, your master and I are not that material." Bai Yitang looked at the bustling street with his hands behind his back and said, "But now we can think of the only two ways to make money in an open and honest way. , so even if you are not good at closing your eyes, you have to go."

  Li Baolu thought of her and Gu Jingyun's savings, and nodded with concern, "Yeah, if you don't make money, you will eat dirt."

   She rolled her eyes and said, "Master, why don't we try a Zhuangzi and a shop first, even if it's a loss, it shouldn't be a big loss."

   "Is it Jingyun's industry?"

   "Yeah, anyway, it's all for nothing, even if it's a loss, it doesn't feel bad."

"It's a really unlucky boy, how can you say it's for nothing? That's the property that the Gu family gave to Jing Yun, and it was originally what he deserved. Can you buy the three yards on the left and right and the back, and raise so many servants and apprentices? You really want to let the Qin family support you for the rest of your life."

"Master, don't worry," Li Baolu patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't look at Jingyun's salary is not high, he has a lot of rewards, let alone support us, it's no problem to raise a few more." Those rewards are not easy to exchange for cash .

  Li Baolu swallowed the last sentence, looked left and right, and said, "In front of us is our family's cloth house, do you want to go and inspect it?"

   Bai Yitang thought for a while and said, "Go."

   They have little capital, so they really can't stand the toss. In this case, it is better to use the existing resources to practice.

"The cloth houses make money. They are mainly engaged in the business of the middle and lower classes and the middle class. The profits of those silk and satin villages cannot be compared with those of the silk and satin houses. However, the profit is small and the sales are quicker. : "I have checked their account books, and they have also checked the business of the same location of the cloth house, although my cloth house is not the best, but it can also be ranked first, so I can't think of anything that can be improved. "

   As a result, she rarely intervenes in the operation of the store. As long as the new shopkeeper and staff do not want to make false accounts to fool her, she is willing to let them handle the affairs of the store on their own.

  Bai Yitang followed the flow of people into the cloth village, and found that there were quite a few people inside, mostly ordinary people dressed in cotton and linen, gathering in twos and threes to choose fabrics.

   Bai Yitang was greeted with a smile by the staff as soon as he entered the door. When he looked up and saw Li Baolu, he almost jumped up in shock. Fortunately, he was tensed and asked the two of them to rest in the box on the second floor.

  Li Baolu waved his hand and said, "No, you can call the customer to go, we don't need you to care here."

  The shop assistant wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and greeted the customer. He secretly gave a wink to the guy next to him, and told him to rush to the back warehouse to find the shopkeeper.

  The owner's wife is here, and it seems to be a private visit in micro service, this is a big deal!

   He prayed in his heart that the new shopkeeper would never offend his wife. He didn't want to change to another shopkeeper and experience another house raid.

Bai Yitang picked up a few pieces of cloth and asked about the price, then looked around the store and said to Li Baolu, "This store is really doing well, the price is right, and it should be an old store that has been open for many years. Come out. Most of the people who go in are old customers.”

  Li Baolu nodded: "Exactly, so I can't find anything that can be modified."

   "Such an old shop should not be changed easily. It already has a reputation. After the change, there may not be new customers, but it may lose old customers."

The new shopkeeper hurried over from the back warehouse, and saw Li Baolu was about to give a big gift, but was stopped by Li Baolu's hand, smiled and reassured him, "There's no need for shopkeeper Liu, I'm just passing by here to have a look, the business in the store is good recently. fine?"

   "Mrs. Hui, business is going well. The account books for spring have just been sorted out. Why don't I bring them to you?"

   "No need, you can send it to the house with the other shopkeepers when it's time to report." Li Baolu looked around the store, asked some questions, and left with Bai, as if they were just passing by.

   Shopkeeper Liu and his staff breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads together.

  Although they didn't do anything wrong, every time they see their wife, they can't help but get nervous and scared. What should I do?

"Hey, why didn't Mrs. take the carriage?" Shopkeeper Liu realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly grabbed the guy and said, "Follow me and see where Mrs. is going, she's just checking my family. Or did you check other stores as well?"

   "Hey, kid, let's go."

   "...There is a grocery store whose business is not good, but the location is a bit remote, and it is not easy to do business. I can't think of how to rectify it for the time being. Why don't we go to that store?"

Bai Yitang looked at the cloth houses, garment shops and silk and satin houses around him and said, "Business is nothing more than food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and this cloth is clothing, and although all cloth, cotton and linen are cheap, there are more Bai Ding in the world. , so you can make a lot of money by accumulating a small amount of money, but you only have one store, and you have no advantage in purchasing goods. A few pots of flowers."

"so…"

   "So why don't you expand your business, make it bigger, and accumulate more small profits together into big profits?"

   "It makes sense, but Master, I haven't done business, so I don't dare to do it." Li Baolu stared at him, "Why don't you come with me?"

  Bai Yitang slapped her on the head, "Be serious, don't worry, Master won't be embarrassed at all about taking advantage of you, so you don't have to bother to find excuses for Master."

"However, Master won't let you suffer too much," Bai Yitang said with his hands behind his back, "Your master, I have traveled all over the world for many years, and I know a lot of people, including many who are in the cloth business. It is still possible to find one or two suppliers in it and reduce the cost.”

   "Maybe when you expand your business, you can also be a supplier to other cloth shops and sell the cloth in your hands to other shops."

  Li Baolu was stunned for a moment, and clapped his hands as if he had opened up the second line of Ren Du: "Master, you are so smart, why didn't I think of it, don't we have a large supply of raw materials?"

   She said with bright eyes: "Isn't Qiongzhou Sin Village weaving and selling cloth now?"

  Bai Yitang was startled, yes, how did he forget those people in Qiongzhou? It seems that there is still a share of the apprentice and Gu Jingyun in the cloth business. Isn't that what they sell and receive?

  Really, fat and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders!

Li Baolu said with bright eyes: "Because of their special status, they suffered a lot when they set the price, but if we can produce and sell ourselves, not only can the cost on our side be reduced, but the price on their side can also be reduced. Improve it a little bit, it's a win-win!"

   "The premise is that your store is profitable."

   "That's right, so Master, this matter is up to you!"
