Chapter 41 With a mouth that makes people fascinated
Chapter 41: A mouth that makes people fascinated
Shen Nian looked appreciative and said, "You also have good taste."
After boasting, he looked at the people next to Wen Chengan.
"Don't you want it? It's a festival today and there are no chrysanthemums to enjoy on the mountain. Buy a flower basket and enjoy it all the way. Isn't it beautiful with beautiful mountains, water and flower baskets?"
“Look at the weather, it must be a sunny day today. I guess it will be very hot later. Are you sure you don’t want to buy a fan?”
A group of scholars: “…”
With such a promotion, we would be embarrassed not to buy it.
Thus, the scholars who were dizzy from reading had their hands reaching for their waist purses before their brains could react.
Shen Nian accepted the money and said a few nice words.
“As expected of a scholar, he has a good brain and a good vision. Come on, come on, they are all here. You can choose which one you like.”
How has a polite scholar ever heard such a straightforward compliment? I have to say that I feel very good.
They don’t just have good brains and good vision.
In the academy, various candidates carrying imperial examination seeds were picking in front of the shop like aunties shopping for groceries.
Wen Chengan stood on the side, looking at his classmates who seemed to have lost their minds, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
This girl really has a "fascinating" mouth. This was Wen Chengan's first impression of Shen Nian.
After the scholar went up the mountain, the Shen family's business did not slow down.
“Come and buy flower baskets and bamboo fans. College students have said that with a dozen bamboo fans, the only difference between you and a scholar is your student uniform…”
Shen Nian's mouth made it impossible for people passing by to move their legs.
Who doesn’t want to envy scholars?
Who doesn’t want to look like a scholar?
“Girl, I want one.”
"I also want."
“I paid first, according to the rules I should pick first.”
Shen Nian received a lot of money and narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Don't be in a hurry, pick slowly, there are more."
Shen Kun kept adding goods around, but this was not enough. Finally, he sold everything hanging on the oilcloth.
At Shenshi, the Shen family closed their stall and went home.
Since we had to come back tomorrow, we confiscated the tarpaulin and spent 10 yuan to ask the people next door to help take care of it. When it was time to close the stall, someone from the government would come to guard it.
After packing their things, the family drove home.
In the carriage, Li Xiuniang’s face was radiant, “I didn’t expect it to be sold out so quickly.”
She can actually earn a lot of money by making Double Ninth Festival cakes. She never thought of it before.
Man Ge'er's little man was also running forward and backward today, and he was already wilting.
Shen Nian hugged him and let Brother Man lean into his arms, "You sleep for a while, and I'll call you when you get home."
Brother Man yawned, his bright eyes becoming more and more moist, "Thank you, sister."
As soon as I closed my eyes, I fell asleep.
Shen Nian and others were on their way back to the village, and some people in Zhuxi Village happened to mention them.
“I heard that Shen Laoer’s family went to Cuishan early in the morning, and I don’t know how their bamboo baskets are doing.” Dong, who was venting his anger through the same nostril as Gao Yuehong, said in a strange tone.
“In the past few days, people have gone to Cuishan for the Nine Emperors Meeting. At least we can sell some.” Someone replied rationally and realistically.
"If they can't sell it, their family will suffer a huge loss. I'm afraid Aunt Gao won't be able to spare Shen Er and his wife."
“The Shen Er family takes it for granted. They collect so many baskets and are not afraid of wasting money. Who would buy those things? They are not being taken advantage of.”
“There are nearly a thousand flower baskets, and the people who helped them weave them haven’t received any money yet. Tsk, tsk, I’m afraid my work will be in vain.”
…
The families who had been weaving bamboo baskets for several days at the invitation of the Shen family heard the gossip, and suddenly their hearts ached.
It won’t be impossible to sell, right?
The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became. I really couldn’t sit still, so I simply went home to discuss countermeasures with my family.
Ms. Dong glanced at the backs of those people, curled up the corner of his mouth, and looked like he was watching a good show and gloating about their misfortune.
It's best to make a fuss and let Shen Er's family pay for it! -
As soon as the Shen family's carriage appeared at the entrance of the village, the stagnant village suddenly boiled. "Shen Kun, why are you back so early? Where are the things?" Mrs. Dong didn't want to believe that Li Xiuniang and the others could really sell them.
Shen Kun knew that this aunt and the fourth aunt were colluding with each other, and it was not good for him. He grinned and said loudly: "Sold out."
The villagers were surprised, "!!"
Some people are thinking fast and plan to take time to visit Cuishan tomorrow.
If it can really be sold, who can't weave bamboo baskets? Shen Er shouldn't mind if they get a piece of the pie.
Shen Nian doesn’t know what some people think. If he knew, he would probably laugh.
Where is the bamboo basket she is selling?
What she sells is clearly creativity and flowers...
If ordinary people want to learn, they will probably suffer a loss. First of all, flowers that have been left overnight without the blessing of supernatural powers will lose their beauty and it will be strange to sell them.
When the Shen family sells things, they are happiest than the villagers who help them weave baskets.
Because they are going to get the money soon!
And those who watch the excitement and make sarcastic remarks miss the opportunity to make money, and their intestines are green with regret.
Some men with bad tempers would beat up their stupid wives when they got home.
“You are a prodigal, you have ruined a good opportunity to make money, and you even said that Shen Nian is a loser, but I think you are a loser…”
“It’s okay if you can’t manage the house well. I’m just like a talkative woman all day long, talking about the boss’s family and the family’s shortcomings in the west. Get out of here and don’t eat tonight.”
Some families are happy and some are sad.
Shen Nian and others were hiding in the room counting copper coins.
Hurrah!
Piles after piles of copper coins were poured on the table, a lot of money.
There is a pile in front of each person, and several people are concentrating on counting the money.
Shen Kun was the first to finish counting, suppressing his excitement and said: "I have 900 Wen here."
Shen Qian finished counting behind him, "...I have 950 Wen here."
The next one is Li Xiuniang, "I have 850 articles here."
Shen Nian: “980 articles.”
Shen Er had many copper coins in front of him, so he counted them the longest.
After a while, he swallowed his saliva and said: "1,200 Wen."
According to the current conversion, one thousand Wen is equal to one Liang.
They made a total of nearly five taels today? !
Shen Er's face was full of joy, "Nearly five taels."
Since money has been earned, the villagers should also pay for their work.
He took out the account book he had kept in the past few days.
Wang Ergou next door made fifty baskets, 25 Wen.
Hundred donkey eggs for basket weaving, 50 Wen.
Mai collected baskets for two hundred, 100 articles.
…
After stringing together the wages from each household, Shen Er said: "Let's go and distribute the wages."
How could he not know that someone in the village was seeing the excitement in his house? He would go out and slap him in the face right now!
Shen Kun was a pushy person and stood up immediately, "Dad, I'll go too."
“Okay, let’s go together.”
With that said, the father and son went out.
Li Xiuniang said: "They are all pushy people."
Shen Nian kept eating, eating one piece of snack after another. Hearing this, he said: "As a human being, who doesn't like to be in the limelight."
She is a worldly person, and she also likes to be in the limelight, but she likes to be in the limelight.
Who wouldn’t feel elated when everyone’s envious eyes fall on you?
After Shen Er took Shen Kun out, he first came to Wang Ergou's house next door.
“Er Gouzi, come out to collect wages.” He shouted loudly.
