Chapter 10 10. People’s livelihood is very difficult (please collect investment monthly tickets)

After eating, there was a resting room behind the shop, and Zhou Yang quickly had someone clean it out. At least, he couldn't leave his wife without a place to sleep, right?

But what he didn't understand was why Huang Yueying came.

As a result, when he asked, the other party had already given him several drawings.

"Uncle Zhou, wait for you to open these three shops next year, and then customize these cabinets to store Chu paper and books." Huang Yueying explained, "Of course, the pen and inkstones must also be prepared."

Zhou Yang agreed without thinking. This is what a bookstore should have.

"As for the name of the shop, let's call it Sanwei Bookstore." Huang Yueying then said, let's use this name to commemorate that gentleman in future generations.

Although Zhou Yang didn't quite understand it, he still agreed, and then asked, "Do you want to go to the Prefectural Mufu Mansion?"

Huang Yueying thought for a while, nodded first, but then shook her head. According to etiquette, since she is here, she should pay a visit, but she doesn't want to go, and Liu Biao and the others don't know whether she is coming or not.

, it doesn’t matter, anyway...she is Huang Chu now, not Huang Yueying.

"Uncle Zhou, I am now a young man of the Huang family, named Huang Chu." Huang Yueying explained, "Besides, I haven't prepared anything, and my father and mother are not here, so I will go alone.

It’s not good to be empty-handed.”

Zhou Yang thought about it and asked, "Why did the second lady come to Xiangyang?"

"It's a bit boring at Zhuangzi. My grandma wants to teach me how to be a female nemesis, but I don't want to learn. My aunt and Uncle Song are also expanding the workshop, and there are people watching the bamboo paper workshop. Uncle Zhou, what else do you think I can do? Continue.

Are you taking Xiao San up the mountain to catch birds and down the river to catch fish?" Huang Yueying sighed. Boredom was one reason and another. Of course, she was still a little curious about this era.

Zhou Yang:……

My little lady, I learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting very early, and I learned well. Just because I learned well, I didn’t have much interest in these things very early. She is really too smart. There is no comparison in the world.

Not many men have sex with young ladies.

When thinking of this, Zhou Yang and Huang Chengyan began to have similar feelings, but after all, the little lady is twelve years old, and she is old enough to talk about kissing... I don't know which little bastard will be cheaper in the future!

"Tomorrow the sale of Chu paper will end. Why don't I take Er Niang to go shopping? It's approaching the end of the year and the West Market is quite lively."

"Okay, let's go tomorrow." Huang Yueying naturally agreed. She said she was curious about this era, but she was curious, but in fact there was nothing to be curious about.

Can food, goods, and life be compared to those of the next generation?

"No, by the way, Second Lady, since Chu Paper Shop opened, several merchants have come to us, hoping to purchase goods from us and then resell them to other places." Zhou Yang spoke again.

Huang Yueying was a little surprised, but then she was relieved. Jingzhou has been an important transportation place since ancient times. It has developed water and land, and there are many merchants. In addition, the aristocratic family cooperated with Liu Biao, so it was peaceful under the rule. The group of people who came to the door had a good sense of the market.

ah.

"Then let's invite them to have a talk the day after tomorrow."

"promise."

…

The next day, there was a lot of people outside Chu Paper Shop.

Because a batch of new goods has arrived, the buyers looked at the notice on the door and were full of joy.

But people who are engaged in reselling and speculating business smell something different. These people have a keen sense of smell and know that this increase in shipments is either planning to sell the last batch before the year, or the output has increased, no matter what

There is no possibility that they will miss this opportunity to make money. After all... it is almost the end of the year.

"Finally I bought it! If I can't buy it anymore, my husband will really cry with anger!"

"Hahaha, it's the same in our family! My cousins ​​have bought it several times, but I just haven't grabbed it before... If you are interested, go and buy it from others. A piece of medium-quality paper costs twenty yuan, and it's really affordable.

too expensive!"

"Yes, fortunately."

"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Zhou!"

"Yes, I am finally relieved that I can buy these pieces of Chu paper before the end of the year."

While everyone was discussing, they carefully held the Chu paper in their hands and went home happily.

Listening to these words, Huang Yueying suddenly realized that the purchase restriction measure probably supported a lot of people.

This scalper... is really inevitable in every era, but she can't take care of everything.

Therefore, the three thousand pieces of Chu paper a day were quickly sold out. Zhou Yang closed the shop and led Huang Yueying and others to the Western Market.

"Brother, this is my first time coming to Xiangyang in my life." Huang Cong followed behind Huang Yueying and said excitedly.

Huang Yueying smiled and looked at Huang Cong today. He was much taller and longer than when she first saw him. She herself was also much taller. After all, her nutrition had kept up.

Moreover, because Huang Cong's mother was so kind, someone finally took care of the family. Although Huang Cong was not wearing top-grade silk, it was much better than the coarse linen clothes he wore before. His straw sandals were also replaced with cloth-toed shoes. Because of the cold weather,

There is also an extra cloak. Although it does not have animal fur, it can still block some wind.

Behind the scenes, Huang Zhi saw that his son and Huang Yueying were so close, and felt happy in his heart.

If it weren't for Huang Yueying, his wife's illness might not be cured. Now that the family has invested a share in Chu Zhi's business, it can be considered as an income.

He finally saw clearly that after so many years of studying and farming, the family had been passed down, but the family fortune had not grown much.

But if he wants to become an official, his own talents are far from enough. It is better to follow Huang Yueying. This Chuzhi business will be bigger in the future, enough to support a village as big as the Mianyang Huang family.

, he also knew very well that this was his opportunity.

"Then take a nice walk." Seeing that Huang Yueying didn't answer his son, Huang Zhi answered, "Whatever you like, my father will buy it for you."

"Thank you, father." Huang Cong became even happier.

Seeing this, Huang Yueying also acted like an "elder brother" and said, "I will buy it for you as a brother. It counts as a gift for the new year."

"Ah?" Huang Cong thought for a while, "Can I still receive gifts in the new year?"

"Well, it's a child's privilege to receive gifts in the new year." Huang Yueying sighed.

In this era, during the New Year, only the beginning of the year was used to worship heaven and earth or ancestors, and there were no holidays or customs. Of course, apart from lighting firecrackers to ward off the New Year beasts, lighting firecrackers really means literally throwing bamboo sections into the fire.

The explosion made a sound.

"Okay!" Huang Cong agreed happily. He knew that he could not refuse the gift from his sister.

Not long after, the Western Market arrived. The streets were not crowded, but at first glance, there were quite a few shops, and there were some stalls selling cereals, radish and pickles, and straw sandals and bamboo baskets.

There are also several food and cloth shops, and basic daily necessities can be found here.

However, there was a small stall in front that was surrounded by many people. It was quite lively. Huang Yueying also became curious. Is there anything in this era that can attract people to watch? She also had to take a look.

Thinking this way, my steps became faster.

"Ah...brother, wait for me!" Seeing this, Huang Cong hurried to follow. How can a child not like the excitement!

Huang Zhi and Zhou Yang naturally followed, but they glanced at each other. After all, they were both children.

Before he even got close, the people watching were talking a lot.

"This Qi Lang of the Xi family is also pitiful."

"Yes, my old wife died of illness a few years ago. As a result, there was a heavy snowfall yesterday and I couldn't sleep..."

"But he is only forty..."

"Why……"

"Now that I only have one daughter and one son, the clan wants to marry the daughter directly to an old man, and adopt the son of the seventh son of the Xi family to the third brother. Isn't this a clear attempt to seize their family's property?"

"That's right!"

"Although Qi Lang of the Xi family doesn't have much property, he still has fields and houses!"

"That's so cruel. No wonder this little girl from the Xi family sold her body to bury her father and support her younger brother in school. After being bullied like this, she can only wait for her son to graduate before she can take revenge!"

"Yeah, it's too cruel."

At this moment, Huang Yueying understood that it was a very common scene, and it was even more common during this period.

The Xi family can be regarded as one of the aristocratic families in Jingzhou, with many branches, and competition between the branches is fierce.

It snowed heavily yesterday and the temperature suddenly dropped. The seventh man of the Xi family couldn't survive it. He couldn't wake up. As a result, the third room of the Xi family knocked on the door and made it clear that he wanted to exterminate the family and seize the family property.

This kind of thing is a family matter, even if it is reported to the government... no one will take care of it, let alone it is a family matter of the Xi family.

At this time, she had already squeezed into the crowd and saw a man and a woman kneeling on the roadside, both wearing mourning clothes.

The woman is older, about fifteen or sixteen years old, and the man is about the same age as Huang Cong.

"Ah...Brother, this little lady is so miserable." Huang Cong naturally heard the comments of the people around him. If it weren't for his sister, his mother might not have been able to survive, so he felt the same for such a thing, and then hoped that

Looking at his sister, in his opinion, she is the most powerful.

The people watching nearby also moved away a little. Because of Huang Yueying's clothes, they looked like a young man from a wealthy family.

"Young gentleman, this little lady from the Xi family is pretty good-looking. If not, just do your best and buy her home." Someone next to him saw Huang Yueying and spoke.

"Yes." Others agreed.
