When everything was turbulent, Xiaoxiao was shopping in the county town. There was a Dragon Lantern Festival in early May. The county town was filled with a festive atmosphere early in the morning. Before the canal digging started, the eldest brother had to combine work and rest with his review, so Xiaoxiao pulled out all his family members. Watch the fun.

The sale of Wuxiangju has ended. In order to avoid embarrassment, I will not see Shopkeeper Xu today.

Although Ning Fengnian and the Song family felt regretful, they felt satisfied after thinking about the harvest so far. They took no money from selling the seasonings and let Xiaoxiao keep it all.

When they arrived outside Ruyi Buzhuang together, they were all startled by the bustle at the door.

The red paper scattered everywhere is the trace left by the setting off of firecrackers. The dragon and lion dance teams have always been the most admired, but today this team was so crowded by the endless stream of guests at the door that they almost had no place. It was really strange.

Xiaoxiao looked at the confusion on the faces of her family members and pulled them into the store. As soon as she entered the door, she heard several excited shouts: "I hit, I hit!"

The old carousel next to the counter was quite eye-catching. The lady who had just finished the checkout happily chose a handkerchief. She was so excited that she didn't look like a rich lady.

The room had just ended, and a maid behind her was busy protecting her young lady to follow. The waiter in charge of the checkout smiled and asked, "Would you like to directly deduct the discount or draw a lottery?"

The lady didn't even think about it: "Of course it's a lottery!" Does she lack that little money? The lottery is so fun! The grand prize is a custom screen!

At another counter, the accountant crackled the abacus: "This guest, you have spent a total of 90 yuan. Today, in our store, you can choose a gift if you spend 99 yuan. Do you want to bring something with you? Do you want to walk on a five-color silk thread or get a rice dumpling?"

"Guest, you have chosen four pieces of cloth in total. Today we have a free one for every five items purchased in our store. If you buy six items, one of them will be free of charge. Do you want to add two more?"

Ning Fengnian and his wife looked here and there with surprise on their faces. The waiter at Buzhuang did not urge or drive them away. He just stood aside in a good-tempered manner, waiting for the guests to come forward and introduce them if necessary.

From this point alone, Xiaoxiao felt that Shopkeeper Liu was quite good at controlling people and was very attentive in employee training.

Just looking at the scene, Xiaoxiao knew that her little pocket was going to bulge, so she asked her brothers to accompany her parents to admire the screens embroidered by Song herself that were displayed in the shop. She went into the wing room with ease and found the reconciliation book. Shopkeeper Liu was so happy that he was even caught making a chicken cake.

"I've heard about Miss He's cousin." Shopkeeper Liu said while eating chicken cake, "The He family is a fool. When the boss comes back and enjoys their good fruits, you really don't plan to give Lao Xu another one." Chance?"

Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows at her: "Are you a lobbyist for shopkeeper Xu? It's true that girls are outward-looking..."

Shopkeeper Liu almost hit her with a chicken cake.

Xiaoxiao said: "I have no objection to Shopkeeper Xu, and I will not anger him. We can continue to cooperate if we have the opportunity in the future. It's just a matter of the dim sum shop. I can't wait."

Shopkeeper Liu scolded her: "You are in such a hurry to open a shop, are you short of money?"

Xiaoxiao didn't hide it from her: "I want my brother to study."

Studying is too expensive.

And if the family is not rich, not to mention the parents, the elder brother himself cannot be distracted. For example, this time he signed up to dig a river channel. The elder brother almost wanted to go, but she finally stopped him.

Although she doesn't agree with some sour scholars who believe that "everything is inferior but only good at reading", she doesn't want her brother to have to hesitate again and again to even buy a pen in the future. He is the best brother, and they deserve the best.

Furthermore, she felt that just by cooking the few meals at home, the space upgrade would be far off, and she was anxious!

Although shopkeeper Liu felt regretful, he also expressed understanding: "Hey, it's a pity that the shopkeepers of Li's shop have signed the contract. I can't have a hand in it. I feel itchy when I think about you getting rich in the future without me."

Xiaoxiao held her chin up: "Are you so sure that I can make money?"

Shopkeeper Liu rolled his eyes, he didn't love anyone.

Xiaoxiao said: "Then you remember to get my share as soon as possible. I'm waiting for the money to rent a shop."

With her strength, she was kicked out by Shopkeeper Liu and given half of the egg cake. Xiaoxiao took the basket and went out shopping with her family again. While shopping, she kept an eye on the shops for rent.

She originally planned to cooperate with Wuxiangju, but she didn't pay much attention to the store. Later, she went to Zhongren to inquire. She was not satisfied with the verbal introduction, so she simply went out to try her luck.

Her parents were mesmerized watching the dragon boats by the river. Xiaoxiao simply said hello to them and ran to another place. Ning Fengnian and his wife were worried and asked Ning Dalang to follow them before relenting.

Choosing a shop is also an art. The location is too remote, there are no customers, and the location is too prosperous to afford rent. In the end, the bookstore she was most satisfied with turned out to be a bookstore outside Bowen Academy. Xiaoxiao thought that this shop was good everywhere, but it was just a little bit. The original shopkeeper only sells but does not rent.

Since the establishment of the academy, the surrounding shops have switched to selling pens, inks, papers, inkstones and various books. However, this shopkeeper is actually not familiar with this aspect. He tried to follow the trend for a few days, but failed to make any money and kept losing money. After much consideration, he decided Just sell the shop.

Opening a bookstore outside Bowen Academy and selling paper and pens sounds quite profitable. However, when the shopkeeper put up the sign, half of the street had already become competitors, and other people's positions were better than this one. Looking at it this way , the price of buying a shop is not low, and you may not be able to make a profit when you buy it back, so this matter still needs to be considered.

When Xiaoxiao was passing by the shop, she happened to see the shopkeeper sighing against the "for sale in shop" sign. She dragged her eldest brother in to pick out a brush, and "by the way" she started chatting with the shopkeeper.

During the chat, she learned that the shopkeeper was having a bad time. He used to open a jewelry shop here, but the styles were old and no one cared about it. He gritted his teeth and melted down the gold and silver jewelry and opened a grain shop instead. As a result, the grain became damp and he lost all his money. Recently, he tried to switch to a new business. In a bookstore, because he mistakenly sold a wolf hair as a purple hair, a buyer came to the door and accidentally broke his foot.

Many experiences simply bring tears to those who hear them.

"I finally figured it out. I may not be talented in this area. Instead of trying to hold on like a gambler, I might as well leave early and go back to my hometown to farm with my savings over the years."

The shopkeeper was quite optimistic and said with a smile, "Maybe I can still be a small landowner."

Xiaoxiao had chosen a pen, but when she was paying the bill, she saw the shopkeeper looking through the book. Ning Dalang couldn't help but remind him: "This is a sheep's hair."

Only then did the shopkeeper suddenly realize the price. When Xiaoxiao took out the money, he asked as if casually: "Since the shopkeeper is not familiar with bookstores, why does he want to do this business?"

The shopkeeper was careless and sighed and told the truth: "Actually, it was my friend who suggested it. I saw that other shops were doing well, and my friend said he would come to help, so I acted on impulse..."

Xiaoxiao looked around the shop and asked, "What about others?"
