Chapter 152: I'm coaxing you away before you even warm up
Zhao Shiying received praise from the whole family, which made her feel happy and happy. It had a different meaning.
"Hmph~ Mother didn't believe me before, what do you think now? You've been slapped in the face, right? Will you still listen to me when it comes to business in the future?" Zhao Shiying felt that she should have a good talk with her mother to avoid her mother blocking her new ideas in the future.
"Listen, I definitely listen." Wang Ronghua said as he tried hard to hold back his laughter.
"Then Dad, when will your workshop open?" Zhao Shiying's sudden question confused Zhao Guocheng.
"I haven't checked the date yet. I'll go to the village chief this afternoon to find a good date." Zhao Guocheng said.
"Oh? You have to choose a date to open a store?" Zhao Shiying was a little surprised.
She really didn't know this.
"Of course, opening a shop or getting married, these important dates all require auspicious dates, which represent good omens," Zhao Guocheng explained with a smile.
"When you go to pick a date, can you also help me pick a date? When is the best time to open the shop? Choose the nearest one, but one that opens later than the workshop." Zhao Shiying said.
"Okay, are you really planning to open a shop to sell preserved eggs?" Zhao Guocheng asked.
"Of course, but it's not just preserved eggs. After all, it's a grocery store, so of course it has everything. When are we going to grandpa's house?" Zhao Shiying asked.
"Shengzi and Huizi have to go to school the day after tomorrow. They can go tomorrow afternoon or early the day after tomorrow." Zhao Guocheng responded.
"Then take me with you. I want to go find my grandmother." Zhao Shiying said.
"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say." Once Zhao Guocheng started to dote on his daughter, he couldn't stop and agreed to whatever Zhao Shiying said.
"Little sister, you haven't answered me yet. Do you agree to let me bring a meal to my grandfather's house?" Zhao Shihui asked directly, a little anxiously, not wanting to beat around the bush at all, because she was afraid that her little sister would not agree.
"Of course I agreed, and I personally delivered it to my grandparents." Zhao Shiying said that she had asked her grandmother to help find someone trustworthy to help look after the shop, so it was not too much to take the preserved eggs to express her gratitude.
“Why?” Wang Ronghua said.
"Because I want to thank my grandmother for everything she has done for me. You will understand when the time comes." Zhao Shiying said.
"You are such a clever little thing, I really can't do anything with you. When the time comes, tell me which jar you want and I will help you move it. You can't move it again," Wang Ronghua warned.
"Yeah, I'm sure." Zhao Shiying nodded.
"By the way, the money we got from selling wild boars and bears in the mountains last time was given to you two brothers today. Originally, each of you got 31 taels of silver, but each of you gave 5 taels of silver to Shimin, so there are only 26 taels left. Do you have any objection?" Zhao Guocheng asked Zhao Shisheng and Zhao Shihui.
The two shook their heads, and then they were delighted.
"Dad, are there really so many, and you let us keep them ourselves?" Zhao Shihui looked at Zhao Guocheng in surprise.
"Of course, Shimin and Nannan kept their own eggs. Otherwise, how do you think Nannan could open a shop? Is she really waiting for this batch of preserved eggs?" Zhao Guocheng said.
In fact, this was the plan before, but after getting the money from selling wild boar meat and blind bears, Zhao Shiying had enough money to open the shop, so she naturally didn't have to wait for the money from selling the preserved eggs.
"Of course, what I said at the beginning can still be lied, but if you don't want it, I can naturally continue to keep it." Zhao Guocheng said.
"Yes, yes, yes, how could I not want it? I just find it a little unbelievable." Zhao Shihui covered his mouth with his hands after saying this, fearing that his parents would take the money back.
Wang Ronghua smiled and handed two purses of different colors to the two people.
"Here, choose the color of the purse yourself. The silver and money inside are the same, only the color of the purse is different." Wang Ronghua said with a smile.
She found time to make these two purses using scraps of cloth, and they look pretty good after they were made.
"I want blue."
"I want cyan," they said in unison.
They all received satisfactory purses, and when they opened them there were twenty-six taels of silver inside.
The two of them were so happy.
But they didn't know that the silver was soon taken away before they could even warm up to the touch.
Zhao Shiying was drooling with envy at the sight of the money.
But I still endured it and wiped it off silently.
......
Wang Ronghua cleaned up the dishes, and Zhao Guocheng went to find the village chief to pick a date.
The workshop was opened on November 21st.
That day was a good day for collecting money, opening a business, getting married, and doing business.
Then comes the 26th, the only two good days this month.
Zhao Shiying became anxious when she heard this, as she still had a lot of things to do.
There was not much time left, so she had to come up with a careful plan.
So that afternoon, Zhao Guocheng took Zhao Shiying to the town to buy things.
After Zhao Shiying asked around about the price, she realized that the twenty-six taels of silver she had originally thought was a lot and that there would be no problem with purchasing the goods, but she did not expect that there would be issues such as rent.
So Zhao Shiying felt that his money was not enough.
Zhao Shiying became depressed after she came back.
"Little sister, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Shisheng asked.
"Yes, why are you so listless?" Zhao Shisheng was also puzzled, and then looked at Zhao Guocheng.
"I don't know, she was fine before." Zhao Guocheng looked at his daughter in confusion, she seemed a little unhappy, but he didn't know what was going on.
"It's okay, let me think about it." Zhao Shiying said and went back to her room alone.
Zhao Guocheng wanted to go and take a look, but was stopped by Zhao Shisheng and Zhao Shihui. They promised to coax the little sister well and then went into the house.
After the unremitting efforts of the two, Zhao Shiying finally spoke again.
"I don't have enough money to buy goods. I thought twenty-six taels of silver was a lot, but when I asked the price today, it seemed that I couldn't buy too much goods, and I still have to pay the rent for the house. It seems that I have to sell the preserved eggs first." Zhao Shiying frowned and planned to sell the preserved eggs tomorrow.
Two people: "???"
"Little sister, how can I let you sell preserved eggs? Our family has a cooperation with Yuelai Restaurant. Why don't we ask dad to send some over when he delivers goods? Once you tell them the cooking method, they will surely eat them till they are done." Zhao Shihui said.
'real? ’
"Of course it's true. Besides, even if you can't sell these preserved eggs for the time being, you still have us. I can lend you the money my mother gave me this morning." Zhao Shihui said immediately without any hesitation.
Zhao Shisheng wanted to stop him, but then he thought that his younger sister was in trouble and needed help, so he lent it to her first.
"Yes, I'll lend you mine first." Zhao Shisheng nodded and offered it willingly.
