"Shopkeeper Xu, ask the waiter to bring a basin to put the lard in! I'll give you the soap."
The little girl gave soap first. There was nothing to put the lard in, so the winner needed to bring his own utensils.
Nowadays, Ming Dynasty’s business is like this. There are no plastic bags or packing boxes.
Not to mention Zhu Wentian's earlier time, soy sauce was sold in bulk and sold by supply and marketing cooperatives, and buyers took their own bottles or bowls.
The same goes for soybean oil. If they don’t give you a plastic bucket or something to hold the oil, don’t buy it.
Looking at the soap, shopkeeper Xu was confused. He came to help, but why did he touch the soap?
"Shopkeeper Xu, take it quickly, the people behind are waiting to buy it!"
The chief reminds me, it’s just soap, if you’re lucky you’ll win.
"Okay, I'll take it. I'll go back and find a guy to come over and put the oil in."
Shopkeeper Xu knew he couldn't give it up, so he agreed and picked up the soap and walked back.
The onlookers were immediately moved. Is there really a prize? It doesn’t matter where you buy things, you can get more of this.
People selected goods one after another, collected ten cents, and then won prizes.
Those who touched lard kept a note and handed it in when they went back to get things to pack.
The guards help keep an eye on people and catch them if they steal.
It's just that people who buy things are timid and don't dare to steal for fear of social death. Once caught, neighbors will be on guard and point fingers behind their backs.
In the early Ming Dynasty, people were concerned about face and reputation.
"I won, I won, the special prize, right? This is the special prize you are talking about, right?"
One person bought something for ten cents, reached into the box and pulled out a note. The child opened it and read it, and then let others read it. This is a natural understanding of literacy.
"Congratulations, a piece of soap. Here, you have it." The child took back the note and offered a piece of soap.
Those who are anxious to pick things will have few good things, and if others take away one more, then there will be one missing.
There were queues at the three lottery places. Someone who was passing by saw that he didn't have enough money and ran home. When passing by a neighbor's house, he told a neighbor that he had brought something to prepare the lard.
When there are too many people, the road becomes difficult and the team is thrown sideways.
Chief Secretary Fang came over with his people. When the patrolman saw the situation here, he quickly reported it. He set off immediately after getting the news.
The yamen he brought helped maintain order. He stood by and looked at the strange things, not that he was in a hurry to collect taxes.
The store's tax is collected on a monthly basis. It is usually an estimated amount. It is useless to check the accounts, and the shopkeeper can make false accounts.
When the chief saw him, he stepped forward with a smile: "Master Fang is here? Stay for a while and have a bite to eat. We'll cook it ourselves. It's not as good as the one in the palace. Don't dislike it."
"It's easy to tell. How are you selling it now?" Director Fang agreed. It's good to eat, and no one will care about eating with the people in Xiaqiu Village.
"That's it..." the manager explained, telling Master Fang the proportion of income and the proportion of awards.
"I used to make 30% profit, but now I make 10% profit. Isn't it too much less?"
Master Fang didn't think clearly for a while and only considered the profit of the same quantity of goods.
The head of the store shook his head: "It doesn't matter that way. Normally, if you sell goods with a cost of 5 guan a day, you can earn a 30% profit of 500 guan.
If you sell goods worth one hundred guan a day, you will earn 10% profit, which means you will earn ten guan a day.
How much money you make is not only the profit from the unit price of the product, but more importantly, the volume of product circulation. "
"Oh! It's true, then you have to hurry up and get the goods."
After mentioning something in the scripture, Master Fang instantly figured out the secret inside.
"If we don't enter, how much money can the grocery store make? When they are sold out, we will recover the cost of the prizes and donate the rest to the Sanctuary in Shangyuan County.
After discussing with everyone yesterday, some people said that the goods from the grocery store should be sent to the Alms House. Later, after further calculation, it was difficult for the Alms House to arrange the goods, so they simply sold them. "
The mayor waved his hand, saying he had no time to sell groceries and wanted money to buy better products.
"How did this happen? You guys also worked hard... um! You worked hard to hawk."
Master Fang originally wanted to say that you were also working hard to earn some money, but suddenly he remembered what kind of business Xiaqiu Village was doing, so he changed his explanation.
"Yesterday, Your Majesty insisted on giving three archways to Xiaqiu Village, Zhongzhengfang, Renyifang, and Liangshanfang. Now that you have taken them, you must do what needs to be done."
"That's the point. The tax can no longer be collected. After you sell it, you will see how much it will cost in the end. Give it to the Yamen. The Yamen will issue a receipt."
"That's fine. Anyway, when collecting taxes, those who have paid the taxes will be handed over to the Yamen in the end."
"Give me the soap. I found three pieces of soap. Look, give it quickly. Let's take a look, okay?" someone shouted while the head of the building was talking to Chief Fang.
"Zhu Lichang, there is a lucky man over there." Director Fang was envious when he heard this.
"Impossible, there are only two special prizes in one box, and now there is only one left in each box." Li Chang smiled.
"Then he is cheating, can you tell?" Director Fang understood.
"The note from our village was stamped with steel, but he didn't write it himself." The village chief nodded, Hanhan had already thought of it.
"Here comes someone! Lock him up for me." Chief Fang shouted, this is a good thing.
The officer rushed upward, and the crowd moved to the side. The person who had just shouted that he had won the lottery turned around, raised his legs, leaned forward, and swung his arms. Bang! He slapped it on the ground, and the people around him felt hurt for him.
The officer took a few steps to the place where he was holding him down. Zhu Wentian also ran over and picked up the door bolt he threw. The door bolt just hit the crook of the opponent's supporting leg.
The little girl took the three notes and said, "Look at it, everyone! His note is fake. Look at our note. There is a mark."
She compared the difference between the two notes with others who were nearby. The paper was the same, but one had a stamp and the other did not.
"Sihai Grocery Store is awesome, who can see this ink without ink pad!"
"Pressed up forcefully? How much force did it take?"
"I'm just saying, what if someone else writes a fake one? Look, it's as simple as that."
"I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I just, uh! Cough cough cough, oh! Kaka."
The arrested man shouted, and suddenly his stomach was hit twice. There was air coming out but not coming in. He opened his mouth with difficulty to take a breath.
The officer dragged him to the side and stamped his back with his foot, causing him to hiss and inhale the air.
The yamen servant is very skilled in this method, and he can save him at any time if he can take a breath away.
"I am the chief registrar of Shangyuan County. Please continue to draw prizes without delay."
Director Fang revealed his identity and went back to deal with the troublemaker.
The people quickly returned to their ranks, but Zhu Wentian looked at the people who were pinned there and said in his heart, please thank me, the guards of the Prince's Mansion are about to throw their knives.
Time flies to noon, the goods are not sold out yet, and the friends are all tired.
The head of the store came forward and said: "Everyone, let's talk about something. If you haven't bought it, come back in one and a half hours in the afternoon. We will add a special prize. The children have to eat."
"Can I try it again in the afternoon? I'm done shopping now and waiting in line to win the prize." Someone wanted to change the time after hearing about adding something.
"Okay, how much did you buy? I'll write it on this piece of paper for you. You can come in the afternoon." The manager agreed.
When Chief Fang saw this, he came over to help, along with Zhu Taiyi and four others.
After a while, the people at the door dispersed, and the children went to wash their hands with a smile. They were tired, but they found it fun. Brother Hanhan sells things quickly.
At first they were selling crabs, Ling'er followed, and when they came back, they sold all the crabs in a short time and made a lot more money!
