Chapter 184 184: Indecent tricks (first update)

Seeing Chang Xi's concerned eyes, Zhang Yingda's heart instantly warmed up. He had seen too many dark sides of human nature. Such warmth made people want to shed tears. However, he was already a man and he immediately stabilized his emotions.

Let yourself cry.

Thinking of the dilemma he faced, he smiled bitterly, organized his words in his mind, and then said seriously, "Actually, selling vegetables is really profitable, but I found that I can only supply so many vegetables every day, and there are only so many people around me."

I've already run away from the village I'm running from. It's too far away and I really can't reach it." He paused and said, "It's too far away.

People nearby won't consider letting me make a middle price difference. They can sell it themselves, unless I can earn enough money to buy a carriage or donkey cart. Maybe I can travel farther, but with just the three of us, the current amount of food

It's already the limit. No matter how many more customers we have, we can't handle it. The scale can only be so big..."

Although they made a little money, it was not enough to make their business bigger and stronger, not to mention that there were already people imitating their way of selling vegetables. If they had not maintained their old customers well, they would have been snatched away.

Business.

As soon as Chang Xi heard this, he knew that Zhang Yingda's business had encountered a bottleneck. Although Yiyang City's economy was prosperous, the market was so big and due to traffic restrictions, his vegetable selling business could be said to be close to saturation, not to mention that there would be more to come.

During the autumn harvest, the amount of vegetables that can be received every day is less, and these problems are emerging one by one.

This business can only be regarded as a practice. It is very difficult to make it big and strong. Transportation alone cannot be solved. At present, there are only a few important means of transportation: horses, donkeys, and mules.

, farming cattle, which one of these is not a big expense? So the reason why this business is profitable, but not many people do it, after all, it can only be done in a small way.

"Then how do you plan to solve it?"

Zhang Yingda pondered for a moment, and finally could only shake his head and said, "I don't think there is a solution at the moment, unless..." He looked up at Chang Xi and said no more.

Chang Xi knew what Zhang Yingda wanted to express, which was to inject capital.

"You want me to invest in your little business?"

Zhang Yingda shook his head, "I've done the math, this business has reached its limit, and there's no point in injecting more capital."

Obviously, he also knew that the road of being a vegetable seller could only go so far, so he said, "I want to find a new way out." Then there was a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face that was hesitant to speak.

When Chang Xi saw this, she couldn't help but laugh. She understood what this half-grown boy was thinking, but as a businessman, he obviously wasn't thick-skinned enough, so this was not okay.

"Say whatever you think. The first thing you need to do in business is to develop a thick skin."

This is not the first time that Zhang Yingda has been taught by Chang Xi. It can be said that she has led him on this path. Although the merchants are at the bottom among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, what he needs most now is to make money. Does the imperial examination have anything to do with him?

?

After studying for a few days, he realized that he had no talent in this area. The boy who taught him also said that as long as he could read three hundred thousand, it would be enough for his daily use.

"Sister Chang, if I have a new idea to make money, can I ask you to inject capital into me?" He made the request with a serious face this time.

"It's not impossible for me to inject capital into you, but I want to repay you." Chang Xi agreed without a single word. Things that are too easy to obtain are worthless, and she doesn't want to develop his dependence and laziness.

.

"I understand." Zhang Yingda didn't play the emotional card anymore. Instead, because Chang Xi said this, he felt relieved. If Chang Xi's hairpin hadn't been used as capital, he might still be begging for food in Yiyang City now.

Or the unscrupulous relatives in the family may have sold my sister long ago.

There is no free lunch in the world. As long as he proves his worth, he will get a start-up capital. This is already God helping him.

"Boys can be taught, so I'm waiting for your good news." Chang Xi was very satisfied with the progress of this half-year-old boy. Once such talents are cultivated, he will get twice the result with half the effort in the future.

Zhang Yingda nodded solemnly.

Chang Xi then changed the topic, "If you find a new business opportunity, how do you plan to solve the vegetable selling business?"

Zhang Yingda hooked Zhou Afa's neck and said, "Leave it to him."

Zhou Afa, a young boy, has no talent for reading compared to him. He can't even finish reading the Three Character Classic. He is much worse than his sister Zhang Lianzi, so he can just leave the vegetable selling business to him.

.

Chang Xi saw Zhang Yingda's arrangement and knew that this half-year-old boy had already vaguely figured out how to employ people. For someone who had not studied systematically, this was really rare.

This time I inspected Zhang Yingda and she was very satisfied.

But it was getting late, so she didn't stay much longer. She just asked the waiter to bring some snacks and pay the bill. She then left and went back home. It wasn't too late for them to stay and finish eating before leaving.

Zhang Yingda didn't try to hold her back, knowing that a typical wife had no freedom. Chang Xi was a unique example. At least his mother couldn't walk out of Master Lu's house at will. All he could do was send her away respectfully.

Zhang Lianzi watched Chang Xi leave reluctantly, after all, she was the only one who really cared about their siblings now.

When the brother and sister turned around again, they saw Zhou Afa desperately eating snacks. Zhang Yingda slapped him on the back of the head unceremoniously, "Save some for the lotus seeds."

Zhou Afa smiled guiltily at Zhang Lianzi, mainly because this snack was so delicious that he couldn't help but eat a few more pieces.

Zhang Lianzi, however, didn't have much appetite. After all, separation is the most uncomfortable thing. She pushed the snack plate in front of Zhou Afa, "Don't listen to my brother, Brother Zhou will eat it too."

Zhang Yingda reluctantly touched the top of his sister's head before sitting down again.

"Ada, do you really want to quit selling vegetables?"

"Didn't you hear just now? This road is narrow. If both of us walk, it will be very crowded. Only if I find another broad road to walk can we two brothers live a prosperous life."

When Zhou Afa heard this, the pastries in front of him no longer tasted good. He didn't want to separate from Zhang Yingda. Can't we just keep doing this business like this? He calculated that the profit from this business would be enough to support the three of them, and he would also be able to support Lianzi in the future.

After saving a dowry, there is no need to open up any new business.

"Invite one or two of your good playmates in the past to help you." Zhang Yingda considered the long term, "If we want to live well, we have to take a long-term view."

Zhou Afa responded dully. Ever since he learned to read, his friend has thought more.

Seeing Fa Xiao acting like this, Zhang Yingda hooked his neck and said, "You should think this way, if my new business does not do well, then the vegetable selling business will be my retreat. You have protected my retreat.

Isn’t it better than anything else?”

When Zhou Afa heard this, his eyes rolled. His friend was right. He had taken good care of his business, and he would not be afraid of any eventuality in the future. As soon as this thought came to mind, he immediately laughed heartlessly.

stand up.

"Okay, I'm going to fight for what I said to you, brother."

Zhang Lianzi couldn't help but smile when he saw the loyalty of these two people.

As soon as Chang Xi returned to Jie Mansion, she went to pay respects to Mrs. Qin, only to see Mrs. Qin standing on the corridor looking at the unclear smoke in the distance, her brows furrowed tightly, while Aunt Zhong beside her was also worried.

"Is it possible that something happened to Hanshan Temple?"

"Madam, there will definitely not be such a coincidence..."

Before Madam Zhong finished her words of comfort to Mrs. Qin, Chang Xi, who came to greet her, said, "Madam, when I came back, I happened to hear someone talking on the street, saying that Hanshan Temple was on fire.

Even the fire prevention team has been dispatched. It’s a dry day and I’m afraid the forest will be burned.”

Mrs. Qin's brows furrowed even more now, and she hurriedly clasped her hands together and recited "Amitabha", and then prayed that the master would be safe. She would have many things to ask the master for in the future, and she didn't want such a capable person to die just like that.

Chang Xi was noncommittal. In fact, it would be better if the old bald donkey died, so as not to harm others again.

Mrs. Qin had something on her mind, so she didn't keep Chang Xi around, but asked her to go back and rest first. When Chang Xi walked away, she looked at Aunt Zhong with a serious face, "Hurry up and send someone to inquire about Hanshan Temple."

How's the fire going?"

Aunt Zhong responded and hurriedly bowed and left.

When she turned around again, she saw Mrs. Qin walking around with a troubled look on her face. She immediately stepped forward and said, "Madam, someone has been sent to Hanshan Temple. Madam, there is no need to worry too much."

"It's useless for me to worry. The master often talks about fate, or maybe this is fate." Mrs. Qin sat down with the help of Aunt Zhong, "I was thinking about what the master said that day. Mr. Chang is destined to be brother Jin."

people, it will be beneficial for the two of them to work together

Ah, you think this is the case, how can I get a wife for Brother Jin? Isn’t it ridiculous if I don’t marry a wife? If word gets out, others will laugh out loud. Don’t think I don’t know that they are laughing at me for marrying Brother Jin.

." After saying that, he let out a long sigh.

She is in a dilemma now. She is afraid that sending Chang away will harm her son. Why not stay? This will prevent her from getting a wife in the future. Can she really let her son live with such a woman for the rest of his life?

After all, she couldn't bear to bear with her son who had wronged her. After weighing it in her mind, she finally made up her mind, "We can't delay this matter any longer. Aunt Zhong, please go and make arrangements."

Aunt Zhong was shocked when she heard this, "Madam, isn't that inappropriate?"

If the fourth master knew about this, I'm afraid it would be difficult for my wife to explain it. Moreover, it was a dirty trick, and it would be difficult for the ninth master to explain it afterwards.

"How many opportunities have I given them? But they don't cherish it. What can I do?" Qin said irritably, "Am I just willing to be this ugly person? I am his mother and I will only do what is good for him, Master.

You heard what I said that day, and there is nothing I can do about it. If there is a way, I will send Mrs. Chang away immediately so that she will not stay in the house and interfere with Brother Jin's marriage. Isn't there nothing I can do."

Aunt Zhong fell silent. If she continued to persuade her, she would be the one to take the lead.

"Just do as I say."
