Chapter 41: Running the Southern Country (3)

After listening to Guo Hao’s story, Chen Lin was shocked and regarded Guo Hao as a saint.

"Brother Guo's method is simply a blessing for scholars all over the world. If it can be promoted, scholars all over the world must remember your kindness!"

After Chen Lin said that, he bowed to Guo Hao, and Guo Hao quickly helped him up. He was just a pick-up person and did not dare to be too self-righteous.

"This... there is no need to promote it. It's too silly these days. It's best to use metal for movable type. If not, use soil. Never use wood, otherwise it will be easy to deform."

"Chen Lin remembers, I'll send someone to prepare now!"

Jiangnan is rich in porcelain, so it is still easy to make a few movable types. Guo Hao told him to keep it confidential. This is the same as fried tea, and it has no technical content. Once their advantages are leaked, it will be gone.

With the movable type printing base, Guo Hao felt that everything was foolproof, but he had to write when he went back. Guo Hao's hands hurt when he thought about it.

Stayed at the Chen family for another night, and the two discussed all the details. The Chen family also has a shop in Jinling. In the future, Guo Hao can contact Chen Lin if he goes wherever he goes.

Opening a teahouse requires decoration, tea leaves require making, movable type requires firing, stories require writing, and everything needs to be prepared anyway.

"Brother Guo, why don't I send someone to take Miss Qiunan over so that we can get closer and discuss anything."

"Brother Chen, this business cannot be done for convenience. If your Chen family can have today, some things should be understood. Since we cooperate, there are always people who need to stay in Jinling, and some things still need to be done."

Of course, Chen Lin understood what he meant. The Chen family has spent a lot of money in the government over the years. The more the Chen family’s business is, the more they need to manage. The tea business is too big, and Guo Hao is worried that he can’t afford it, so he must find a backer.

Guo Hao left the Chen family and returned safely to Jinling. The Chen family was also the manager who came back with him, who was responsible for conveying the family's instructions.

"Mr. Guo, this grocery store is the shop of the Chen family. The restaurant opposite was the same, but now it is the second master's business.

If Mr. Guo has any instructions in the future, I can come to me at any time. According to the young master’s request, I will change this place into a teahouse next.”

Guo Hao nodded when he heard this, and looked inside and found that the area was not small. It can be seen that the Chen family's financial resources are the warehouse on the second floor, which can be converted into a elegant seat, and the backyard has a kitchen. In short, the store is very suitable.

"It's so good. You can handle these groceries at a low price or recover your money. The teahouse is simple to decorate, you just need to build a table and buy some seats."

"We young master thinks the same way, but there are so many goods here, so time is really difficult to deal with."

Guo Hao thought about it after hearing this and said to the manager: "This is simple, you just need..."

After Guo Hao told the method, he went home, and the grocery store was bustling.

"A big sale for clearance, a big sale for clearance, all the goods are dealt with cheaply, everyone will come and have a look!"

A banner was hung at the door of the grocery store, which read: Our store will make rectifications and all goods will be dealt with 20% off!

Xiao Si shouted hard at the door, which really attracted a lot of people. When he came in, he found that it was indeed cheaper than what was sold elsewhere, and it was sold a lot soon.

Guo Hao cannot be familiar with the marketing methods in later generations. Those outdated methods are still applicable now.

Originally, Chen Lin thought it would be enough to deal with it, but after using this trick, he not only recovered the capital, but also made a fortune.

Other stores were in the same way as needed, and they recovered a lot of funds in a while, and Chen Lin became increasingly convinced by Guo Hao.

...

Guo Hao left for seven days. Qiu Nan was bored and worried at home, and waited for Guo Hao to come back at the door every day.

"Miss Qiu, I'm waiting for your brother to come back again. Mr. Guo has been there for six or seven days. Is there no news yet?"

The person who spoke was Aunt Han next door. The two families were neighbors and Guo Hao's landlords. Seeing Qiunan alone at home and could not speak, they took the initiative to talk to Qiunan.

Qiu Nan smiled at Aunt Han after hearing this and shook her head.

"By the way, how did you get this mute disease? Have you ever contacted a doctor?"

When Aunt Han asked about her mute disease, Qiu Nan's smile disappeared. She didn't know why she was like this. She only remembered that her grandmother said that she had a sick illness when she was a child and could not hear or speak, and she could not speak after that.

As the saying goes, nine out of ten deaf and dumb, and normal mutes cannot hear the sound, but Qiu Nan can hear it, which means that she is not an ordinary disease.

"Qiuan, I'm back. See what I've brought to you!"

The two of them were playing a puzzle when they suddenly heard Guo Hao's voice. Qiu Nan got up and ran over, hugging Guo Hao.

"What's wrong? I'm scared at home?"

Qiu Nan shook his head.

"That's it, do you miss me?"

Qiunan has no movement, so it is the default.

Aunt Han looked at the two of them, smiled kindly, and said, "You little wife is waiting for you to come back at the door every day, she is so eager to see you!"

Qiunan's face turned shy and blushed, Guo Hao scratched his head. He never thought about not wanting Qiunan, but Qiunan is still too young now, so he is not easy to deal with.

"Aunt Han, thank you these days. If you weren't here, I would be really worried. I brought some tea and you and Uncle Han would try it."

"Tea, poor families are not used to drinking that. They need to add salt when cooking. They cannot be eaten as vegetables and not full. You should keep it for drinking!"

After hearing Aunt Han say this, Guo Hao was happy. The less popular the tea, the more money they can make.

"Aunt Han, my tea leaves are different from ordinary tea leaves. I don't have to cook or add anything. I can drink it after soaking in boiling water. It tastes pretty good."

As he said that, he took out a small bag and handed it to Aunt Han. Aunt Han opened it and saw that it was full of dried small rolls and a faint fragrance.

"It smells quite fragrant, it is really different from tea bricks. You can mix it with boiling water?"

Guo Hao nodded: "Don't have to be too open, just soak it directly. This is the best West Lake Longjing. You don't have to put too much at a time. It can be used to entertain guests!"

"Okay, then thank you Mr. Guo, I'll try it back."

Tea is a luxury these days. Although Jiangnan produces tea, ordinary people rarely drink tea, so people are curious and want to taste what tea tastes.

After entertaining the landlord, the two entered the house. Guo Hao took out a lot of tea and some groceries from the package, including an exquisite box, which was given to him by Chen Lin.

"This is given to you by Brother Chen. He said you didn't go over and wanted to give you some gifts as compensation. Open it and see if you like it?"

When Qiunan heard this, he opened the box and found that it was a beautiful golden hairpin inside. Qiunan had never brought the golden hairpin before, and suddenly felt that it was inappropriate.

"This is too expensive, I can't ask for it."

Guo Hao sighed at Qiu Nan's sensibility, but at the same time felt a little distressed. Qiu Nan had been with him for so long, but he never thought about giving him anything.

"It's okay, keep it. A gold hairpin is not enough. I will make up for you in the future. I have already agreed with Brother Chen that we will do a big business together."

Qiu Nan was a little shy when he heard this. He couldn't let go of the golden hairpin. This is a woman's nature. It is not easy for Qiu Nan to let go of it once.

"I'll bring it to you."

Qiu Nan nodded shyly, Guo Hao took the golden hairpin and inserted it into Qiu Nan's hair bun. It seemed that he didn't feel anything, and it was a little awkward.

"Why does it look so awkward?"

Guo Hao murmured, Qiu Nan became nervous when he heard this. Guo Hao continued to look at Qiu Nan and finally found the problem.

"I understand, your clothes are wrong, the clothes are too ugly. Didn't I ask you to buy some good-looking clothes? This is not Kaifeng, you don't have to hide it anymore!"

Qiunan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time she regretted it. It was not that she didn't like to dress up, but that she was used to being poor and couldn't bear to wear new clothes.

At Guo Hao's request, Qiu Nan changed her clothes. You said that women were to please him. When Qiu Nan came out of the room shyly, he looked up at Guo Hao, and saw Guo Hao frowning.

"Although I changed my clothes, I'm still a little girl!"

Qiu Nan was stunned when he heard this, then he was a little annoyed and reached out to hit Guo Hao. Guo Hao grabbed her hand and said in her ear.

"You are still young now, don't worry. Since you choose to follow me, I will not let you suffer any more. If you want to run away in the future, I will catch you back. You are destined to be my person in this life.

Little girl, grow up quickly!”

After Guo Hao finished speaking, he walked out of the room with a smile, leaving behind the shy Qiu Nan, singing Guo Hao's words just now.
