Chen family.
Zhang Yuehong looked at the pairs of gloves, and said worriedly: "It's such a good thing, why can't it be sold?"
Chen Shouxin saw that Chen Xiaomi was making money by selling gloves at the market, so he didn't even go shopping in the market, and went directly to the fur market to buy fox fur. At that time, there were a few people who also wanted to buy fox fur, and a few of them agreed.
Originally priced at five taels of silver, Chen Shouxin bought the fox fur from the fur shop for seven taels of silver.
Chen Shouxin originally thought that with such a large piece of fox fur, making more than a dozen pairs of gloves, there would always be a profit of ten taels or twenty taels of silver. How do you know, no one bought them at all, obviously those few rich men spent two taels of silver to buy gloves very readily.
At that time, someone asked Chen Xiaomi to sell the gloves to him at a high price of three taels of silver.
Now he sells it for one tael of silver, but he can't find anyone to buy it, so he managed to sell two pairs at the price of one tael of silver.
Chen Shouxin gritted his teeth, and said, "You bastard, you hurt me."
Chen Jing was very happy to wear gloves. Chen Shouxin's gloves could not be sold, and Chen Jing happened to wear them himself, so he also gained a little limelight among his classmates. There are quite a few rich students in the county school, but there are more students from poor families.
Zhang Yuehong glanced at Chen Jing, "Why don't your classmates buy gloves anymore?"
"They all have it, and some of them are poor. Those who wear rabbit fur are almost enough." Chen Jing said.
Although they are all scholars, they all have their own circles among scholars. When the elders and young masters in the town go to study, they also bring a book boy. Generally, they seldom interact with these rural students. , It's just to show off with people like Lu Chengyu.
Zhang Yuehong sighed and said, "What can I do!"
The boss bought fox fur before, and was scolded by the old man for wasting money. At that time, the boss had guaranteed the ticket, saying that he could sell it for dozens of taels if he changed hands. Now he didn’t make a tael of silver, and he even lost several taels. , the old man knows, he will definitely be angry.
"Ah Jing! How about you take the pair to the academy, if someone wants to..."
Chen Jing said displeasedly: "Aniang, I will be an official in the future, how can I behave like a merchant." How embarrassing he is to bring gloves to the academy to sell!
Zhang Yuehong was stunned for a moment, and said: "Yes, yes, mother is confused."
Boss Chen did not give up and ran to the town a few times, but did not find anyone buying gloves, but there were more people selling gloves. No one cared about Boss Chen’s fox fur gloves, and some people who sold rabbit fur gloves made small profits. In the way of high sales, the business is not bad.
The weather in winter is too cold, and it is not easy to go to the town once. At the beginning, you can rent someone’s ox cart. After this time, Boss Chen didn't want to go.
…
Chen family.
"Chen Xiaomi, come out, Chen Xiaomi." An impatient voice rang out in the yard.
When Chen Xiaomi heard this voice, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he took the sharpened bamboo spear from the room, and walked out.
Seeing Chen Xiaomi's posture, Lu Rong couldn't help feeling a little frightened.
"Chen Xiaomi, your grandfather is ill, go back and have a look."
Chen Xiaomi snorted softly and said, "He is sick, what does it have to do with me?"
Chen Shouxin waited for Chen Xiaomi, and said, "Chen Xiaomi, you are a murderer, you don't care if your grandfather is sick."
Chen Xiaomi said sarcastically: "Why should I care? Mai is sick, and he also stopped him from asking for a doctor, saying that it will be fine naturally, and that the old man is healthy, so he will be fine naturally."
"Bastard, do you speak like that? How could our Chen family produce such a rebellious and unfilial thing like you." Chen Shouxin said angrily.
Chen Xiaomi squinted her eyes, looked at Chen Shouxin, and said, "Shameless thing, I have been separated out long ago. It was agreed before that the two have nothing to do with each other. Seeing that I make money, I want to come to play Qiufeng. No matter how much money I make It has nothing to do with you, just go away."
Chen Shouxin looked at Chen Xiaomi bitterly, and said, "You bastard, I'm afraid that my second brother will crawl out of his grave in anger."
Chen Xiaomi looked at Chen Shouxin gloomyly, and said: "I'm not filial, but you are so filial, you paid for the doctor of the dead old man! He came to ask me what kind of garlic I want for money, if my father really never crawled out of the grave, You're the one I'm looking for."
It was indeed the old lady who asked him to go hunting in the mountains, but if he, a good uncle, hadn't been behind the scenes, the dead old woman might not have been so persevering.
Chen Shouxin looked at Chen Xiaomi with resentment, "Second brother, look up in the sky! Your little bastard who doesn't recognize his grandfather or grandmother will be punished by God..."
Chen Xiaomi brandished the bamboo spear and said impatiently, "Get out, I'll beat you out."
Lu Lin came out of the room. Chen Shouxin glared at Lu Lin, then turned his gaze to Chen Xiaomi, "Look at you, how do you look like a pair, and you paid ten taels of silver to buy a man, don't be ashamed."
Chen Xiaomi sneered, and said: "You have such free time, go take care of your son, I don't need you to worry about it."
"I don't care. Your grandfather is sick. If you don't give me ten taels of silver today, I won't leave." Chen Shou said.
There was a sharp look in Chen Xiaomi's eyes, and he raised his bamboo spear and rushed towards Chen Shouxin.
At the beginning, Chen Shouxin acted like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, but when he saw Chen Xiaomi's face about to kill someone, he was scared again, and even rolled and crawled out.
After driving away Chen Shouxin, Chen Xiaomi returned to sit on the kang, looking a little dazed.
Lu Lin rubbed Chen Xiaomi's head and said, "What's wrong?"
Chen Xiaomi took a deep breath and said, "I don't know if my father will blame me."
Lu Lin smiled and said, "What you did was right. Of course your father wouldn't blame you. If he blamed you, it's your father who can't figure it out."
Chen Xiaomi raised her head, looked at Lu Lin, and suddenly said, "Before you, you wronged that old lady for stealing money."
Lu Lin rolled his eyes. It's been so long. Lu Lin didn't expect Chen Xiaomi to bring it up at this time, "If she doesn't come to find fault, I won't bother to talk to her."
…
Chen family.
"Boss, do you want to return the money?" Mrs. Chen hurriedly asked when she saw her eldest son come back.
Chen Shouxin shook his head and said, "He won't."
"This brat who kills a thousand knives has earned so much money, but he is still so useless." Li said angrily.
Mr. Chen sighed in disappointment, and said, "Forget it."
"Forget it, how can I forget it." Li Shi gritted her teeth, that was a few dozen taels of silver! Mrs. Li regretted that Chen Xiaomi was separated out back then. She never thought that Chen Xiaomi, a guy who killed thousands of knives, would have a prosperous day.
Mr. Chen was also a little angry, "Forget it, so what?"
Mrs. Li restrained herself after being yelled at by Mr. Chen.
"You're such an adult, but you're still so reckless. Is this money so easy to earn?" Mr. Chen sighed.
Seven taels of silver is not a small sum of money to the Chen family.
Mrs. Li moved her buttocks and said, "You can't blame the boss for this matter, who made those people in the town ignorant."
Mrs. Li has also heard about Chen Xiaomi's making money. It is said that at that time, several young masters were robbing Chen Xiaomi's stall for things that were obviously so expensive, as if they were free of charge.
"How can this rich man's business be so easy to do?" Chen Shouren, the third child, sighed, and said again: "Those young masters have a lot of connections. It is said that those who are not bad at money can't buy fox fur. Just tore off your own fox fur, big brother, when you do this, you should think about it first, this is the money for buying meat at home, you spent it on that thing, what are you going to eat after the Chinese New Year?"
When Boss Chen heard the third brother speak, his face suddenly turned ugly, "I also want to make more money."
"Brother, Fox Mao doesn't need that money at all. I think you have been tricked." Chen Shouren shook his head and said sullenly.
Boss Chen had a dark face. What Chen Shouren said was obviously saying that he had no business acumen, and fox fur was not worth the price. However, the price had already risen at that time, so what could he do.
"Those shopkeepers in the town know how to steal money if they don't have any good things." The old lady said angrily.
When Boss Chen heard the old lady's words, he panicked a little bit. The old lady also believed that she had been tricked by saying so.
…
Chen Shouxin walked out of Mr. Chen in dismay, and returned to the yard.
Mrs. Zhang said worriedly: "What does the old man say!" The gloves were not sold, and Mrs. Zhang's life was not easy. The old lady always felt that it was because of her poor craftsmanship that she couldn't sell them, but she clearly The one sold by Chen Xiaomi is the same.
"I didn't say anything, but the old man is a little unhappy." Chen Shouxin said sullenly.
"Chen Xiaomi only has a fistful of strength, why did he suddenly understand something like that?" Chen Jing asked in confusion.
It's a kang and a glove. It shouldn't be something that idiot Chen Xiaomi could have figured out. If Chen Xiaomi was so capable, his life wouldn't be like this before!
"I heard that he found something in the mountains." Chen Shou said.
"In the mountains?" Chen Jing asked in confusion.
Chen Shouxin nodded, and said: "In the past hundred years of fighting, some people lived in the mountains and hunted for a living, and some scholars from down-and-out families lived in seclusion in the mountains. books."
Chen Jing said disdainfully: "Chen Xiaomi is illiterate." Chen Jing is the only scholar in the Chen family. Although his homework is not good, Chen Jing is still proud of his status as a scholar.
"Probably there is a picture." Chen Shou said.
"What about the book?" Chen Jing thought a little excitedly, if there are things like gloves in this book, wouldn't it be possible to use it to make a splash among classmates
"It seems to have been burned." Chen Shou said.
Chen Jing exclaimed in shock: "Burn it?"
Chen Shouxin nodded, "That's how it was passed down."
Chen Shouxin would get this kind of news because of what Lu Lin occasionally taught Maimai. Maimai is a fool, but everyone thinks he is a liar! Chen Maimai only provided some clues, and the villagers came up with a lot of things in their brains.
Chen Jing said with a dark face, "This guy is really reckless! He actually did such a thing, but luck is too good."
