Chapter 161 Preparations before opening
Zhao Shiying looked at everyone, especially Wang Ronghua, at a loss.
She felt like she was in trouble.
Wang Ronghua hugged Zhao Shiying tightly, unwilling to let go.
"As long as my daughter is okay, it's good. I was scared to death. As long as she's okay, it's good." Wang Ronghua was very scared and hugged Zhao Shiying for a long time without letting go.
Just at this time, the sky began to darken and it looked like it was going to rain.
A villager shouted: "It's raining, run quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, raindrops fell like beans.
The people in Zhao Laoer's family reacted immediately and ran back.
I even forgot to take the mud I dug.
By the time we got home, we were all soaked, dripping with water, and our hair had become streams with drops of water oozing out.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
Then change clothes quickly.
Those who couldn't change clothes could only hide from the rain under the eaves.
After all, it was raining so hard right now that it wasn't realistic to run back to the workshop.
"Take your hats and go to the workshop to change clothes," said Zhao Guocheng.
So the child and the woman went back to change their clothes first.
There are not many bamboo hats at home, only four.
"It seems that I still need to buy a few more hats." said Zhao Guocheng.
"Dad, why don't you have an umbrella? At worst a raincoat will do." These two things flashed through Zhao Shiying's mind.
They are all used to shelter from the rain when it rains, especially umbrellas, which are convenient to use.
"What? An umbrella? How can that thing work? Once we go out, it will be useless as it gets wet by the rain. As for the raincoat, it's too expensive. It costs a lot of money to buy a set. But let's buy two sets next time we go to the market." Zhao Guocheng said with concern.
The raincoat is really expensive and the umbrella is useless.
"Dad, umbrellas are for sheltering from the rain, how can they be useless?" Zhao Shiying asked puzzledly.
"Umbrellas are made of paper. If they get wet by rain, won't they be useless?" said Zhao Guocheng.
Zhao Shiying: “…” Why does it seem like the umbrella daddy was talking about is different from the umbrella she was talking about?
Zhao Shiying stopped asking and planned to go to the next market to look for umbrellas and raincoats.
She seemed to have the production methods of these two things in her mind. If she could make them, it would not only be convenient for them, but she could also sell them for money. If she sold them at a low price, she could make money and make things convenient for the people. It would be a win-win situation.
Zhao Shiying is now thinking about these ways to make money.
But the most important thing right now is the opening of the grocery store.
The next day, Zhao Shiying and Zhao Guocheng went to town.
Today Zhao Guocheng came to do hard labor for his little girl. Zhao Shiying had agreed with the shopkeeper to pick up all the items she bought from the grocery store.
Pens, ink, paper and inkstone are definitely indispensable. After all, there is a private school diagonally opposite, so things related to study are naturally indispensable.
Fortunately, Zhao Guocheng purchased a lot of affordable and easy-to-use pens, inks, paper and inkstones this time.
In addition to pens, ink, paper and inkstones, there are daily necessities that people can use at home, and there are also many snacks.
There are all kinds of things, which really lives up to the name of this grocery store.
There were a lot of things and they were all mixed together. Fortunately, Min Wenying and Wang Mian arrived early and started decorating as soon as the goods arrived.
Early in the morning, Qin Ming borrowed the village chief's ox cart and loaded the wooden racks made by Lao Liu's family onto the ox cart. This was already the second cart being transported.
"Yes, it's these shelves, placed in rows." Zhao Shiying grinned.
I am so happy. This wooden frame looks very solid and the chassis is very stable.
It was Wang Haiming who suggested combining the two rooms into one.
It was Wang Haiming who asked someone to open up the passage. After it was cleaned up, it actually looked quite harmonious and spacious.
If there is an old man in the family, it is like having a treasure.
Zhao Shiying didn't have to spend too much time thinking about it, as her grandmother and grandfather took the initiative to help her think of it.
Zhao Shiying was surprised when she saw it, but then she became happy.
"Grandma, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have thought of this. After the wall in the middle is demolished, the two rooms become one, which looks much more convenient and has more space." Zhao Shiying clapped her hands happily.
The key is to make these shelves fit perfectly when put down.
"Of course not. This was suggested by your grandfather. Now all that's left is to put things away, which I also know how to do. If you have any opinions, tell me and I will definitely help you." Min Wenying said as she worked on the work in her hands, never having a moment's rest.
"Yeah, putting the same or similar things together will make them easier to find. For example, pens, ink, paper and inkstone can be placed on the same shelf. If one shelf can't hold them all, then place them on the shelves on both sides of the same aisle." Zhao Shiying thought for a moment and expressed her idea.
"Okay, let's do as our daughter says." Min Wenying said as she started to pack up her things.
Zhao Shiying put away the wooden signs that she had prepared in advance, and asked her brothers to help write on them during lunch time. They would then be hung directly on the top of each row of wooden shelves. This way, the items would be easier to find and sell.
Zhao Guocheng, Min Wenying, and Wang Mian were all busy sorting things, and Zhao Shiying was also busy helping to sort them.
"This is daily necessities, and this is snacks." Every time Zhao Shiying took out something, she could accurately tell the category.
And Zhao Shiying had already said that they were divided into several categories.
There are a lot of goods today, but the few people worked very quickly and sorted them out quickly, putting all the items in order and placing them on the shelves in different categories.
"You guys take care of the rest. I'll go back to cook first. When I'm done, we'll all go home to eat. The same goes for you, Wang Mian. Don't go back and cook for yourself today." Min Wenying said and left without waiting for Wang Mian to speak.
Wang Mian wanted to refuse but he didn't say it, after all, the person had left.
I could only lower my head embarrassedly and continue to work on the things in my hands.
"Brother Wang Mian, how is your handwriting?" Zhao Shiying asked.
"It's okay, but I haven't written for a long time." Wang Mian said embarrassedly.
After all, pens, ink, paper and inkstone were very expensive and he couldn't afford them. As for the pens and ink, they had been covered in dust for a long time, but he preserved them well.
It took three quarters of an hour to finish the cleaning.
Wang Mian locked the shop door and followed Zhao Guocheng to Wang Haiming's house.
"Uncle Zhao, I think I should go home first." Wang Mian said embarrassedly. This was originally his job and there was no reason for him to have a meal at the Master's house.
"Why are you so formal, kid? It's just a meal, come in." Zhao Guocheng pulled Wang Mian.
Wang Mian came in with a red face, but he was still rather reserved.
"Brother Wang Mian, if you are like this, what will you do when you meet all kinds of people while helping to run the store in the future? It's just a meal, and besides, if you help to run the store, we will still provide you with meals." Zhao Shiying said.
"Ah? Meals are provided?" Wang Mian was surprised. He really didn't know this before and no one talked about it, but even those who went to work in the town rarely had meals provided.
Generally, if meals are provided, you will be paid less.
Wang Mian could accept it when he thought about it this way. He couldn't eat other people's food for free. The worst that could happen was that he would just have to pay less.
