Objects such as needles and fishhooks are very small and easy to lose. If you don't watch, you can lose several of them in the blink of an eye, and a needle and a fishhook are both priced at dozens of pennies. This price would make people gasp in Fengshan, but in Qingyuan people generally have very high incomes, so this is not a big deal.
Mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are. If you drop a needle today and drop a hook tomorrow, you don't have to deal with it. For this reason, these two small items are placed under Su Wei's nose. This old man is as meticulous as dust in his work and his eyes are beautiful. Even though his little eyes are almost closed, he can see things clearly than anyone else, so he is responsible for the sales of these two things.
Zheng Ruoying is also surprised. Her Taobao store has been open for some time, but there are no people coming to buy candies. She is very optimistic about these candies. Is it possible that people in Qingyuan don't need them?
She had something on her mind these past few days. She heard that Yi Niang was pregnant, and she should have been happy for her, but it felt like a big stone was weighing on her heart and she couldn't let it go. It took a few days to slowly let go.
What is the reason for this? A sour feeling surges in my heart. Every time I see Liang Chuan, this feeling becomes even stronger. What is wrong with me? I used to be a monk who was not stained by the mortal world, but now I have fallen into the dust net. Can't help myself.
On this day, she came to Liangchuan's store and saw many women in the store. They were talking and laughing around Su Wei, and the discussion was lively. Where there are people in the world, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are women, there are grievances.
"Well, I said, Xiu'er said that she came to Yuetai Temple to offer incense. There is a grocery store outside the door that sells needles that are very hard and can be threaded. They are very easy to use. I think they must be needles from this store."
"It's true, this needle can kill someone if it is poked into the body. I pricked the palm of my hand and saw blood immediately. Isn't it tough?"
Each of these women said a word. Su Wei just laughed along and talked endlessly about the material, hardness and various craftsmanship of the needle. A small embroidery needle was too lazy to talk to men, but when it comes to Women deserve a good discussion.
How could Su Wei know about the embroidery needle? It was all taught to him by Liang Chuan. He has spent his whole life relying on a sharp mouth to talk the dead into life and talk the living into the coffin. For decades, others have suffered from Alzheimer's disease. Looking back at him, he became more and more mature. He looked like a monkey. With every move of Liang Chuan, he could come up with three words. Anyway, he held the needle and hook to the sky. Women are the best at needlework. Whether it was good or bad, they knew the needle would be useful as soon as they touched it. Su Wei then drank the ecstasy soup and they all rushed to pick the needles of good quality.
They are not interested in fishing hooks. As for women, they are busy enough at home. No man from any family would agree to sit by the river all afternoon.
Women spread the word, and usually in the afternoons when they have nothing to do, they would take out their men's rags with needlework and sit in the sun, chatting about household matters and gossiping, and by the time they're done, their clothes would be patched up. . Their reputation about the quality of needles and threads spread quickly. One by one introduced them, and the number of women who came to the store to buy needles did not stop throughout the day.
Su Wei vigorously introduced the benefits of this new type of needle, almost becoming a friend of women. These middle-aged women were not shy about promiscuity. After all, Su Wei was an old man who had been in the officialdom, so The city's skin is thicker than its walls. It's Guan Gong and Qin Qiong who are fighting with these women, and they are not afraid at all.
Zheng Ruoying looked at her bleak business, and then looked at the bustling business here, and her heart was agitated. This Liang Chuan was really restless. The business picked up so quickly, look at this booming energy!
After picking out needles, the women wanted to turn around and leave, but they saw that bamboo knitting was still being sold in the store. They picked up these exquisite bamboo plaques and looked up and down the bamboo baskets. They couldn't help but marvel at how they hadn't discovered this shop before. The quality of the bamboo weaving was also very good!
After asking about it, I found out that the price was nearly 20% cheaper than the price sold in other bamboo weaving shops! A bamboo weave usually costs a hundred cents, and the price difference is nearly dozens of cents when it goes up or down. These women who run the house usually buy a handful of green onions, and they would pay half a day for a penny, but now they can save dozens of cents and the quality is better. Others are fine, so there's no reason why they shouldn't be moved!
There are also several bamboo weaving shops in Qingyuan, but they are different. If the bamboo weaving in the store is purchased from other places, or if the bamboo weaving is made directly in the store by paying a lot of money, the price and cost will naturally be much higher than that of Liang Chuan. The wages Liang Chuan paid to the women in the village in Fengshan were enough to make the villagers crazy with joy, but in the eyes of the masters in Qingyuan, they would rather not work because the money was too little. .
The cost can be controlled, Liangchuan Natural has an advantage in price, and the Moso Bamboo in Fengshan has been growing for hundreds of thousands of years, and every root is extremely ripe and high-quality Moso Bamboo. The quality is unparalleled, and the women of Qingyuan have sharp eyes. These are cheap goods, how could you miss them? Not only the steel needle business started to flourish, but also the bamboo weaving business started to pick up.
"You're here." Liang Chuan came down from upstairs, dressed more formally than usual. He looked like he was going out to do errands. When he saw Zheng Ruoying appearing in his store, he waved his hand and greeted her.
"Your store is very busy now, unlike my small store, which is deserted and deserted, not even a sparrow!"
Liang Chuan could hear the sourness in his words, but he was just talking nonsense. If he talked too much, wouldn't he make this girl angry?
Seeing that he remained silent, Zheng Ruoying continued to ask: "What are you going to do when you are dressed so neatly today? Are you going to find that girl named Xiaofang?"
Liang Chuan's eyes widened. Wow, this woman dared to eavesdrop on his own secrets!
"What Xiaofang, what Xiaofang, I am going to discuss business today, and I don't have time to deal with such trivial matters as romance and love between children!"
Zheng Ruoying rolled her eyes: "Hey, I wonder where the uncle is going to discuss business. The business of the little girl's store has not improved recently. Can you take the little girl to get some advice and let the little girl learn some skills and gain knowledge? "
The two of them were quarreling with each other, and many people nearby looked sideways from time to time, ready to watch the fun.
Liang Chuan thought that he would not suffer any loss if he took her with him, so he said, "Uncle is going to Po Chai Lane. If you want to follow, you can come!"
As soon as these words came out, all the women in the store looked at Liang Chuan with a look of hatred.
Pochaixiang is located on East Street. It is said to be an alley but it is a main road. There are various restaurants and brothels on both sides of the road. There are countless prostitutes and secret prostitutes. It can be said to be the first-class romantic fireworks place in Qingyuan. It is a bit like Xingyuan. The modern Jinlou is also a complete gold-selling cave. Men spend money here like water and forget to return. It is the most direct trigger of family conflicts. From quarrels to family breakdowns, the women of Qingyuan hear this. My man is going to drift towards Po Chai Alley, I wish I could strangle him and beat him to death immediately, no matter what I say, I can't let my man fall into this cesspool.
So when Liang Chuan said he was going to Po Chai Lane, these women looked at Liang Chuan with colored glasses. The man from this family dared to run into the brothel in broad daylight, so he didn't just stay there at night. Already?
To be honest, they had misunderstood Liang Chuan. Liang Chuan had also heard that Bi Zhaosheng had introduced this broken wood alley. There was a lot of smoke in it. It was indeed a paradise that men yearned for. But Liang Chuan was a good man. How could he do it now that Yi Niang was pregnant? I thought about going out to mess around with women. Besides, Xinghua’s top brand is right next to me. Is there any need to go to Miss Hua from Qingyuan?
Where there are many girls, there will be more clothes, and there will naturally be more clothes-repairing activities. If you want to mend clothes, you need needles. Go door-to-door to sell some needles and see if you can wholesale some needles. The money coming in from retail is too slow. This is the real purpose of Liang Chuan going to Po Chai Lane.
Zheng Ruoying didn't know this detail, so she changed into men's clothes and went on the road with Liang Chuan. She wanted to learn some novel skills from Liang Chuan and how to make his shop so popular. She was overjoyed that Liang Chuan was willing to take her. She didn't think about the details inside.
The two of them arrived at Po Chai Alley. As expected, the place was full of various brothels and restaurants, making it look like a happy forest.
Liang Chuan's eyes widened. Although it was broad daylight, there was a word called "white sun" and "sexy". The streets were full of wanderers soliciting customers. They were all good-looking, and the white ones started doing business.
Zheng Ruoying was so angry that her teeth were about to burst. Especially when the few busty Orioles saw that this fair-faced little girl, Zheng Ruoying, was more judicious than them, they couldn't help but grab Zheng Ruoying's hand and pull her into the brothel. , so frightened that Zheng Ruoying screamed again and again.
When these wandering orioles heard Zheng Ruoying's voice, which was thin and sharp, without any bulge in the throat, and Ganqing was also a female, they immediately lost interest and let Zheng Ruoying go free.
Zheng Ruoying looked at Liang Chuan with tears in her face. She was not here to discuss business. She was clearly here to have fun.
Liang Chuan looked at her sad eyes and smiled bitterly: "Miss, you have to come here on your own, I'm not forcing you!"
"I really want to see what kind of business you are talking about!"
Liang Chuan led Zheng Ruoying to find the largest brothel in Pochai Lane - Xiangsu Fang! , first bought a few pieces of vegetable cakes on the street, and then the two of them went around to the back of Xiangsu Fang, where they saw a kitchen where the cooks were cooking all kinds of exquisite dishes. Next to the kitchen was a laundry room. The elderly aunt walked into the laundry room with a handful of colorful clothes.
Liang Chuan stretched his neck and poked inside, and saw several women inside. Some were rubbing their clothes with their heads down, and some were sewing, each busy with their own business.
"We are all busy. Hello, ladies and gentlemen!" Liang Chuan walked in with the vegetable cakes in hand and got close to each other. "It's cold, aunties, please eat some rice dumplings to keep warm!"
