In the days that followed, just as Xiao Ming had imagined, the Xiao family seed shop developed steadily and took root in Pingcheng. Everyone in Pingcheng knew that there was a shop specializing in seeds in Pingcheng, with excellent quality and low prices. It’s cheap, and everyone will buy some, whether it’s for food or sincerely buying seeds. Of course, winter wheat is the most popular among them.
Except for the first day of opening, the Xiao family did not go to the shop for the rest of the month. Xiao Han was too busy with his studies and Xiao Ming was too lazy to manage, so the Xiao family's new boss, Yi Feng, was working non-stop every day. Running back and forth between Pingcheng and Liujiacun.
In two months, the purchase of winter wheat became saturated, and the seed shop business gradually stabilized and became less busy. Ming Sheng and Liu Tiesheng gradually became familiar with the operation of the shop, and Yi Feng was able to have some free time without having to go to the city every day. I only need to go there to check the accounts once every five days.
Xiao Ming goes to the town for medical treatment every three days. The rest of the time she is either watching the progress of the school at home, making medicine and planting medicine, or going up the mountain to collect some medicinal materials, and then goes into the space at night to continue her planting business. Now, after her unremitting efforts After working hard, there are tens of thousands of kilograms of various seeds stored in the space, plus the food saved in the past, well, in short, there shouldn't be too much food in the space...
On the surface, she still asked Yi Feng to keep buying grains, and then she secretly replaced them with seeds in her own space, and used these ordinary grains as rations for the school workers. The men who came to the Xiao family to participate in the school training He is a smiley person. Not only does he get paid for his work, but the food is also very good. Every day is like celebrating the New Year, with big chunks of meat, bone soup, white flour steamed buns, and plenty of rice. You said it is hard work to build a house. No! No! It’s not hard at all. I’ve already grown a belly.
Xiao Ming flipped through the account books handed over by Yi Feng. The business of the two shops in the past two months was really impressive. In just two months, the turnover was 8,000 taels, of which winter wheat seeds were the most important, and other corn, soybeans Sales of rice and other products are also good.
It is said that the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. Regarding the importance of shop location, this sentence does not apply to the seed shop on South Street. In terms of sales, the sales volume of the shop on South Street is less than one-third of that on West Street. It is very popular. They are still customers diverted away from West Street because they are too busy. This shows that the sales volume of South Street is pitiful, so it is better to work as a warehouse.
Xiao Ming looked at the inventory ledger carefully and saw that the balance of inventory and cash were in balance. Then she felt relieved. She closed the ledger and looked up to praise Wanfeng and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You did a good job."
In these two shops, Yi Feng showed good management and control skills, and was a rare talent. Xiao Ming was satisfied with his performance.
Yi Feng nodded calmly. He was always calm and never liked to show off. Even if he was praised by his master, he could still remain calm. For Xiao Ming, Yi Feng's expression was a typical example of being taciturn. , looked scary and unwilling to speak; but now that the injury on his face has healed, he still speaks little and looks like a middle-aged uncle, not handsome but mature and steady. Although he is not old, he is so His dull demeanor, coupled with his hoarse voice due to injury, gave people the impression of a forty-year-old man.
Xiao Ming was already used to Yi Feng's reaction, and continued to talk about the topic she had not finished: "The clerks in the two shops performed very well, and they are initially qualified. From the next month, each person will receive an additional one hundred For literary work money, Ming Sheng will add two hundred Wen."
Although Ming Sheng is not old, he is smart and precocious, can write and do calculations. He has learned a lot of skills from Yi Feng, and now he can sort out the accounts of the store clearly. If he is willing to follow Xiao Ming, she will not treat him badly. his.
"He is quite a good person. You can train him more and let him grow up as soon as possible." Xiao Ming ordered. There are really few people available in the family. It would be good to train Ming Sheng to be able to stand alone.
"Yes." Yi Feng nodded, his face calm, and he did not have any dissatisfaction because of Xiao Ming's wishes.
"As for you, tell me what reward you want for coming." Xiao Ming looked at Yi Feng and said. Yi Feng is not old, less than thirty, and standing at thirty is the best time in life, but Yi Feng has experienced He suffered the most miserable thing in life, losing his wife, disfigurement, and being abandoned by his master's family. For him, this world was too cruel to him.
Mother Yi's family is the people Xiao Ming trusts most. They have done a lot for her, and they are dedicated and loyal. Therefore, Xiao Ming hopes that Mother Yi's family can live a better life, not only materially, but also spiritually. level.
She has never treated Mama Yi and her family materially poorly, but for Mama Yi, she can see that she always has regrets in her heart. This regret is either her son or her grandson.
Privately, Mrs. Song often nags in Xiao Ming's ears that Yi Feng is young and strong, so it is better to marry another person to fill the house. However, Xiao Ming believes that this is definitely not what the godmother means, and the shrewd mother Yi must have done it unintentionally. Little thoughts revealed.
Xiao Ming didn't object to marrying to fill a house, but she just didn't know if it was Yi's mother's wishful thinking or Yi Feng's nod.
Yi Feng raised his head and was a little surprised by the reward Xiao Ming said. It was his duty to do well. He never expected a reward. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "Girl, you are welcome. This is what I should do." share."
It means that this is what I should do without any reward.
"Hey, Yi Feng, what you said is obvious. The achievements of the two shops are all due to you. Without you, it would not be what it is now. Therefore, you are the biggest contributor here and must be rewarded." Xiao Ming said, the so-called reward based on merit, how could she leave out the biggest contributor.
Xiao Ming thought for a while, she really couldn't find a wife for Yi Feng, so she said, "I think Yi Xuan is not old. Let him study with him after the school is built." Anyway, give one as a gift. It's a gift, and both of them are gifts. As for Yi Xuan's future fortune, it's up to him.
Hearing this, Yi Feng's calm face had a rare expression, and he said excitedly: "Thank you, girl." How could he not be excited about Xiao Ming's reward? Their family is all slaves, and their life and death are all determined by the master. In his hands, let alone have the opportunity to study and stand out, now the girl actually agreed to let his son go to school like other students. What a good thing.
Xiao Ming said a few more words before dismissing Yi Feng. She packed up the medicine box and carried it on her back. She greeted Song's mother Yi and walked out of the door.
Outside the gate, Shi Tingyu was waiting in a carriage. Today, he and he had an appointment to go to Wang Dafu's house in Wangjia Village. Wang Dafu's wife, Li, was more than three months pregnant, and Xiao Ming wanted to check her pulse again. picture.
