Most families in the village rely on men to go out to work to earn rice and grain, while the women do handicrafts to sell in the city, such as needlework, straw weaving and the like.
No wonder families without adults or men have a miserable life and a very difficult life.
Therefore, Brother Guan and the others can earn money by doing hard work in the city, but because the consumption level in the city is relatively high, the copper coins they earn can only buy rice and grain.
The rice that is just enough for people in the village to survive is also very expensive in the city, but the life of the city residents is not that tight.
Ye Lulu understood and asked again: "Are there many people at the dock every day? Is the land transportation in the city also developed? Are there many shops?"
Guanchi North Road: "There are many people at the dock every day, and there are also many ships. Land transportation is average. There are many mountains near Yuancheng, the terrain is rugged and tortuous, and there are few wide roads... You have been living all the way here before, don't you know?"
Guan Chibei looked up at her meaningfully.
Ye Lulu's heart skipped a beat.
She said calmly: "The road I came here to live on is just one road. I don't know where the other sides of Yuan City are and whether there are major roads."
Guan Chibei knew it well and continued unhurriedly: "There are neither many shops nor too few shops. After all, due to the terrain, Yuancheng is not big enough to develop. Because the freight is accessible, the merchants who come and go are trading goods. There are many, and the city is very lively, but there are not many local shops.”
Ye Lulu had an idea in mind, and suddenly looked at Guan Chibei, and tried to ask: "You said... if our family does some business, we don't need my eldest brother and the others to go out to do coolies, is that okay?"
"Big brother?" Guan Chibei repeated, a faint smile seemed to appear on his face. She was not the original person, so calling him big brother was smooth.
So conscious
Ye Lulu didn't realize the deep meaning in Guan Chibei's eyes. He was thinking about finding a livelihood, and said, "Can you tell me first? Brother Guan and the others go out to do hard work every day. They sell a lot of energy and earn little money. It's better to Think of other ways, with the help of big brother and the others, the family can earn more money."
Guan Chibei's expression became darker. He knew that this Ye Lulu had come up with some ideas to change the appearance of the family.
This is indeed not what the former Ye Lulu, who was completely satisfied and felt that her status was lower than hers after marrying a housekeeper, would do it.
"what you up to?"
"Has anyone from the villages near Yuancheng entered the city to do business?" Ye Lulu asked first.
"I don't know about that. You can go and observe tomorrow." Guan Chibei said calmly.
Ye Lulu didn't rashly bring up the matter of making money with Aunt Rong and the others. She first talked to Guan Chibei in the room for this reason. Making money in business is not something you can do just by thinking about it. At least you have to do market research, otherwise it will be easy to GG.
"Okay, then you can go through the process tomorrow." Ye Lulu ordered the nominal "husband" as a matter of course.
After all, this is for herself, but also for the entire housekeeper.
"Well," Guan Chibei only responded and asked, "Is there anything you want to bring?"
He is indeed quite responsible in taking care of his wife and children. Ye Lulun commented secretly in his mind and said: "Nothing. If there is a pastry shop with good business, bring me some of the best-selling pastries."
Guan Chibei nodded, turned around and walked out of the house.
On the morning of the next day, Guan Chibei first went up the mountain to hunt a goat, and then went to the place where he took the bullock cart and went to the city.
They also saw that he was holding a prey, and it was a big product like a goat. People in an ox cart looked at him secretly with strange and envious eyes.
