There is one thing that Shen Cui did not say. Shen Wen was recognized by the old lady and his status in the Shen family became transcendent. Shen Lang followed Shen Wen and not only became energetic in learning recently, but also helped to gain more support in the Shen family in the future.

Lin Ruolan was stunned. She didn't expect that Shen Wen had gained so much recognition from the Shen family so quickly, even his aunt helped him or not. So, she even said the right and wrong behind her back.

"Yes, aunt." Lin Ruolan felt a little aggrieved, but she didn't dare to refute when Shen Cui was angry, so she had to bow her head and admit her mistake.

I hate Shen Wen even more in my heart.

This guy is all the one who makes it.

"Okay, where are you going? Today I'm just free, so I'll teach you how to be a girl. Look at your needlework. It's a mess. The needlework of a seven or eight-year-old child is better than that of you. I really can't stand it anymore." Chen Cui didn't plan to let go of this niece who didn't listen to the teachings.

OK, I just like to go against Shen Wen, and I don’t even want the reserve of girls, as if I were born with a conflict with my horoscope.

"Yes, aunt." She felt a little reluctant, but Lin Ruolan had to pretend to be very happy.

The hole you dug by yourself must be filled in even with tears.

When Chen Cui taught Lin Ruolan a lesson, Shen Wen had already walked out of Chen Mansion and came to the bustling streets under the river.

Unlike the past, Shen Wen was not wandering around aimlessly this time, but this time he was looking for business opportunities, thinking about how to make some money and subsidy, otherwise he would be able to spend 2 taels of money a month and would not be able to spend it happily.

I haven't enjoyed any blessings in my previous life, and finally had the opportunity to start over. I have hundreds of years of experience and experience than others. If I still live so depressedly, it would be too cowardly.

You can't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. Shen Wen took Xiao An through the streets and alleys, thinking about what he could do while walking. After walking for half an hour, he walked through the most prosperous place under the river. He was as tired as a dog, but in the end he still gained nothing. The reason is very simple, and many businesses have been done to the extreme.

The Hexia area is not big, but the business is very prosperous. In a little bit, there are twenty-two streets, ninety-one alleys, and Thirteen Jiafangs, just like the bones and tendons of wise men, intertwined with fields and connected by roads. These streets and alleys are relatively concentrated in industries, and often only sell one type of goods in one street, just like the current characteristic industries, such as Huaxiang, Teaxiang, Zhuxiang, Dingtied Tiexiang, Datongxiang, Yaoxiang, Zuoyi Street, Screw Street, Guzi Street, Banchang Street, Pipa Liu Street, etc.

In order to survive, those stores can be said to be the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers. Some do high-end, some do low-end, some do specialty, and some do work on creativity or service. What you think of, they all think of, just what you didn't expect, they also take care of, and the competition in each industry is fierce. In addition to the strong old brands, there are also many home-style shops that control quality and cost very well, making people dare not get involved easily.

Without excellent skills and capital, Shen Wen felt a little frustrated.

I want to do a job like shopping guide and get commissions from it. Unexpectedly, there are some people here who do this kind of work. They know every shop in Hexia well, and they come to their mouths as they say all kinds of information, and some kids guarantee them. This idea died before they could even try it;

Hexia is the transfer center of salt industry and canal transportation, and is an important commercial port in Huai'an. Every day, many people make a living by moving goods. Shen Wen thought of providing lunch boxes and fast food to those hard workers. Unexpectedly, there are snack shops on both sides of the canal, with 5 cents per serving, which can be eaten or packaged. Some people use small boats to carry small pots to do business and can be fried on site. The boss lady who still has a charm is selling and singing a song while selling. Seeing this, Shen Wen covered her face and retreated;

I planned to make wine, but when I saw more than 30 wines in the hotel and wine from outside the border, I finally gave up;

After thinking about it, I just can't find the right one.

"Young Master, are you tired, sit for a while." Seeing that Shen Wen was tired, the sensible Xiao An immediately wiped the stone bench next to him with his sleeve and asked Shen Wen to sit down.

Shen Wen sat down and said helplessly: "There is such a lot of people here, and there are obviously so many business opportunities, but it makes people feel that they can't get in. It's a weird place."

Xiao An echoed, "Yes, many outsiders come here to do business, and many people close the door in less than a year. Young Master, don't look at their daily business grabbing, whenever outsiders want to squeeze in, they will immediately become one-hearted to deal with it. Every industry has an industry association, and some are the only ones."

After pausing, Xiao An continued, "Let's talk about pawn shops. There are three pawn shops in the entire river, all of which belong to the Wang family. Last year, a wealthy businessman from AH also opened a pawn shop here. He wanted to get a share of the pie. The Wang family did not stop him. Instead, he used a pure gold Buddha statue every day. After working as a continuous half a month, the shopkeeper was afraid and asked why there were so many golden Buddhas. The man was the second steward of the Wang family, threatening that there were more than 100 people in the family and would continue to be the ones. After hearing this, the shopkeeper took the store in the second month."

More than a hundred pure gold statues are worth much money.

Shen Wen shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this, and felt even more depressed.

It is indeed difficult to find business opportunities. No wonder Shen Xi, the young master of the Shen family, who is in Shen Lang, wants to go fishing and make some money by reading and writing letters for others. The reason is that the competition here is too fierce, and the Shen family is obviously a training junior.

Its purpose is very simple. If you don’t have the ability, then get used to the taste of poverty first. Don’t be able to make money, and develop the habit of being big-handed.

Of course, if you are bullied, the family will not sit idly by. The old lady is a very protective person.

Twenty-two streets, ninety-one alleys, and Thirteen Houses can be said to include all people’s food, clothing, housing and transportation, including leisure and entertainment, etc. Shen Wen has been walking for so long, and his calf is almost cramped.

Suddenly, Shen Wen's mind flashed and he whispered: "Xiao An, you said I opened a shop, which is very large and everything inside has to be sold. In this way, people don't have to go to so many places at once, and buy all one place. Do you think this is a big deal?"

This is the operating method of supermarkets in later generations. Through large-scale procurement, it reduces procurement costs, creates a good shopping environment for customers, and brings together food, drinks, and entertainment. This was the first in the Ming Dynasty.

Xiao An thought for a while, quickly shook his head and said, "There will be business, but, Master, you'd better not make this idea."

"Ah? Why?"

"If such a shop is established, the young master will become the target of public criticism. The government will not agree with it, and will become the public enemy of twenty-two streets, ninety-one alleys, and Thirteen Houses. They will try their best to deal with you and make trouble. Even the eldest and second masters cannot protect you, but they just protect you openly. But if they are too impatient, they will use their ill-fighting attacks to find the desperate to put the fire on the boat. When the sea is vast, who can I ask for justice? Maybe I will buy evil to deal with the young master." Xiao An said seriously.

Cutting off people's money is like killing parents. It would be strange if those merchants are willing to do so.

It is understandable that the government does not support it. For example, in later generations, some industries can be upgraded, but the government just refuses to upgrade. The reason is very simple. Once upgraded, many ordinary workers will lose their jobs. This is not only an economic problem, but also involves people's livelihood and social security issues.

Shen Wen said a little reluctantly: "Forget it, I'll talk about it too. For such a big deal, I just need to save up to the year of the Monkey and Horse Month for such a big deal."

Come excitedly, probably going back in disappointment.

Just as Shen Wen was about to return home, there was a sound of gongs and drums in front of him. The sharp-eyed Xiao An suddenly said happily: "Young master, look, there is a new restaurant opening with many people."
