Fight the Giants Chapter 168

Chapter 168 Lack of people

The courtyard of Qionghua Lane has welcomed waves of visitors these days.

It was all the people from Taoyedu who came to learn scriptures and get goods.

That day, Huo Xi and the others rowed four boats into the inner city, and in one night they got nearly two taels of silver. Two taels of silver! During the fishing season, they sell a month's worth of fish, but they can't save even a tael.

Everyone from Taoyedu braved the cold December wind and entered the city one after another, wanting the Huo family to take them with them.

But how the money was earned that day, Huo Xi knew very well.

The main reason is that there are many people who come out to watch the excitement in the city, there are few horses and cars, and the cruise ships are expensive, so they hire their boats as cruise ships. Moreover, the people in the inner city are also generous and give a lot of rewards. What's more, they make money by selling goods.

What kind of goods to choose to sell on the ship is really very particular.

Huo Xi also entered the city for the first time that night, so he didn't know what to sell in the city, and the four boats carried many kinds of goods.

I brought seven or eight kinds of drinks alone. There are also eight or nine kinds of wine, big wine and small wine, fruit wine and spirits, expensive and cheap. There are also pastries and snacks, with many categories.

She was exploring the way that day, and all four of their boats were in the same place. This product is easy to sell. If it is sold out, the other boat can be used as a warehouse, and the goods can be replenished immediately. The ones are also matched with gifts or low prices, and they are sold for seven or eighty-eight.

Huo Xi is not sure whether the people from Taoyedu can also earn this money when they go to the city. I'm afraid everyone will be disappointed.

Competition in the city is fierce. If you want to earn more, you will have a sweet mouth, a keen eye, and you will be able to yell and get jobs.

Many people came to Qionghua Lane to learn Buddhist scriptures, and they all flattered Yang, and praised her and Huo Xi from beginning to end, even the small rented courtyard, the well and the vegetable field.

Ms. Yang was flattered by everyone, but she was soft-hearted, and told everyone the inside ways, with great patience and enthusiasm.

Everyone usually stops at one place to support each other, and they can't just watch a few restaurants eat hot food and others live a miserable life haha, Yang and Huo Erhuai can't refuse others even if they are soft-hearted.

Besides, this was what Huo Xi wanted, so he didn't stop it.

These people want to sell the goods on the boat, whether they sell in the city, in a village along the river near the capital, or along the river in the outer city, the more goods they want, the more profit she will make.

"I heard that you earned two taels of silver in one night. Even if we catch enough fish, we won't be able to earn this money in a month." Everyone at Taoyedu held on to Mrs. Yang, "Such benefits cannot be lost. us."

"It was a thrilling night, and I almost couldn't come back." Yang was terrified, and the boat was almost detained.

"We've heard about it, but in the end, it's a safe bet."

"I want to say that we are not familiar with the inner city, and there are any situations. You have to be prepared."

Although Mrs. Yang wanted to bring everyone along, she still mentioned what might happen first. Afraid that something would happen, everyone went to their family.

Don't do bad things with good intentions in the end, and make that child Xi'er suffer.

"We understand, we understand, when the time comes, we will all go together, and there will be at least two people on a boat."

"As long as you are prepared in your heart."

It's not that the people in Taoyedu didn't look for sources of goods outside. There are many smart people, but no one has taken that step before. Now that the mind is open, the first crab was eaten by others, and naturally many people follow suit.

There are also more people who go to the countryside to collect cloth and wine, make their own cakes and snacks, and make drinks.

But they have little capital. Even though Huai'an has been on a trip, each family has some spare money, and this winter is better than any previous year, but people who are used to being cautious will not spend all their money on unfamiliar fields, for fear of taking risks. .

The cost is reduced, even if you find the source of goods, there are not many goods you want, and the price cannot be negotiated.

If the price cannot be negotiated, the cost will go up.

If you can't earn money after working hard, then it's better to be on a boat during such a big winter.

So they went to Huo's house to get goods. Yang Shi, Yang Fu and Huo Xi have been busy shopping around for the past few days, and they have lost their legs.

Yang and Huo Xi pushed the cart back again, wanting to put it in the warehouse, but they were too tired to move.

"It's not easy to save some money. Mom still thinks fishing with your father is the easiest, no need to waste your brain." Yang sighed while slumped on a low stool.

Huo Xi was also paralyzed on the chair and gasped for breath. After hearing this, he smiled and said, "But I like to go shopping with my mother. You are too powerful, mother. If it weren't for mother, we wouldn't be able to get this truckload of goods in the end."

Mr. Yang's personality is a bit aggressive. During this period of time, the family has saved some money, and she and Huo Erhuai still have one or two hundred taels of silver in their hands. With confidence in their hearts, they don't have to worry about negotiating prices with merchants outside.

Besides, most of the people who run shops and warehouses claim to have some status, and they are messed up by Yang's nonsense, and she doesn't play cards according to common sense, and they can often get a satisfactory price in the end.

The goods of one tael of silver, according to the normal way of thinking, should be discussed slowly, one penny and one penny, you come and I go like this. But Yang didn't play his cards according to the routine, and he cut half of them as soon as he came up.

It stunned people, and the cost price was more than that. He was so angry with the other party that he wanted to drive her away, to push her out, but she was a woman, and it was not easy to do it directly.

Most people who are serious about doing business want to show their faces, they care about their status, and they don't bother to mess with women.

Let the servants drive her away, but she still won't leave, can you go up and pull her? She sits in the room, then goes out and talks loudly, can you still do business?

So he had no choice but to keep her angrily and resentfully, convincing her with good words, and wrangling the price with her.

I don't know if he was born with this tendon of observing appearance, or if he has been trained in selling goods these days, Yang has been very accurate in finding out the bottom price of others several times.

Seeing that the other party is angry and wants to drive you away, slowly increase the price, and as soon as you find that the other party is loose, stop and grind slowly with the other party.

Until the price is ground down.

"Mother, you are this..." Huo Xi gave her a thumbs up.

Yang looked at it, and felt like being fed honey, it was so sweet. She is happy to help the child.

"Your father said that the business in Yanhe Village is also very good these days. He used to spend a long time with your father for a penny, but now he hardly bargains, just take it and leave."

Huo Xi nodded. It seems that no matter what era it is, New Year's Eve business is easy to do. If you have money or not, you can have a good year. It seems that this has been the case since ancient times. I have worked hard for a year, and I don't want to be underestimated in the last New Year's Eve.

"There are still a lot of people selling goods along the river, and few in the inner city. It seems that we still need to choose some goods that are suitable for the public." Huo Xi said after a while.

Mr. Yang nodded in agreement.

Actually earn more in the inner city. But many people's boats are really not suitable for entering the inner city. First, you must have the right personnel. The second is that the boat is too dilapidated and old, and it cannot be used as a cruise ship, so it is disgusted by others.

Xi'er persuaded several companies to quit. But fortunately, everyone understood and accepted Xi'er's suggestion.

Mr. Yang really thinks fishing is still easy.

If you catch a lot of fish, you can sell them for more money. If you can sell them, you can save a few more copper coins. If you can't sell them, you can make them into salted fish and keep them for yourself.

Huo Xi saw that Mrs. Yang was going back and forth to stack goods in the warehouse, and followed her eyes.

Her mother is somewhat talented in business, but her mother still wants to be with her father, on the boat, and have someone to take care of him. The two lived their lives as an old husband and wife relying on each other. They couldn't see each other for a day, but they missed each other.

Let her mother run back and forth to do business and buy goods. It's okay for a short time, but it's not a long-term solution. Huo Xi came forward alone, and her mother was worried.

Huo Xi once again lamented that he was still too young to do many things. If only there was a suitable helper.
