Xie Shan sent Cui Xie straight to the door. There was a wrapped pottery in his car. It was a thing that was afraid of falling and moving. When he got to the door of the house, Cui Xie got out of the car himself, watched people open the door, unload the threshold, and drove the car into his yard.
Cui Liangdong followed the car and ran, and two shopkeepers came in to help him carry things. Cui Xie thought that they were old and weak, afraid that they would break their own wine receptacle, and immediately waved and repelled the three of them, saying only: "You can just stay away, I will move it myself."
The lower part of the cooking pot of the wine retort is covered with a basket made of soft thatch, the bottom of the arc is flattened by a circle of straw cables, and the bottom is a wide futon-shaped round bottom. Two ears are pierced from the left and right sides of the receptacle, and you can lift off the car with a gentle lift. It is also safe and stable on the ground, and you are not afraid of falling over. The top of the retort cover, which is used to hold cool water to cool down, is also made of straw with the same thick cover, and the long drip tube is covered with copper to prevent it from falling. The outside was not only wrapped in a straw cover, but also stuffed with thick cotton, and the outermost was held in a slender, brown-like bamboo basket.
Xie Shanyuan wanted to take it out for him. Seeing that he took things down so cherishly and refused to take advantage of others, he shrank back. When he took the wine retort, he asked someone to remove the small wine jar, and he held the horse and said, "Since Mr. Cui has arrived home, the youngest should go back and take care of his life. In the middle of the month, I hope that the young master will make time to sit under the house. We adults will be waiting at home."
He also thought that the next time we saw him, Xie Qianhu said casually when he was drunk. Is there really a next time
Cui Xie seemed to feel the scorching heat that penetrated through the fabric on his shoulders, backs of hands, and wrists when he was being led to practice the knife, and the feeling of holding the knife also seemed to remain in his hands. He restrained himself and did not go there, smiled at Xie Shan, and replied, "Thank you for your love, brother, and I will definitely go to the mansion to harass him in the future."
Speaking of which, he ordered someone to take a piece of copper coins to comfort Xie Shan for these two hard trips, and then let him sit in the front yard for a while, and sent someone to the kitchen to get him something to eat. Xie Shan looked at the splendid courtyard of the Cui Mansion, and accepted it with a blunt smile.
Cui Xie personally carried the wine retort back to the hospital, unwilling to fake someone else's hand. Cui Liangdong and the two shopkeepers were arguing to help him get things, but they kept persuading him if they couldn't get them, "How can you get this thing by yourself, sir. Not to mention that the old man and the old lady should be worried, Cui Qi will have to bury his grievance when he comes back. You are useless, you can't share your worries for the young master."
Cui Xie steadily moved the wine receptacle into the courtyard, found a spare room to put it in, then looked at them, and said lightly, "Tell me, what happened to you again? It's usually obvious that you are not so diligent and careless. Are you trying to curry favor with me when you cause trouble?"
"Young master's words really make the younger ones feel ashamed. The life of the younger ones is in the hands of the master. To deceive the master is to deceive the sky. How dare you deceive the master!"
Cui Liangdong was embarrassed and frustrated, Cui Jinzhi relied on his silk and satin shop to get a big customer now, got a face in front of the son, and rushed to file a complaint: "Didn't the son order us to deal with the old things of the Nanhuo Store, how dare we do this The slack was always followed by the accountant and the competent guys. As a result, after two days of selling, I found that there were few good things in the store, and most of them were old things that were two or three years old, or even five or six years old. It was written that they were all high-quality goods, but when I opened the goods, I found that many of them were shoddy, and the people who bought them had seen it before.
Cui Ting was not far behind and said, "We saw that the shop could not be handled cleanly even after ten days. We were afraid that it would delay the son's change of hands, so we rushed to report it to the son."
Cui Xie glanced at him and Cui Jinzhi, and nodded slightly: "You guys did a good job, you should tell me about this kind of thing in time. You can write it down in the summary later, calculate your performance, and add bonuses depending on the situation. Cui Liangdong... You said You helped the store to count the old goods, why didn't you report it at that time?"
Cui Liangdong said with a sullen face: "The little one has to take care of this big family's affairs. Although he can go to the store to take a look, he can't really stare at it. Besides, our products are always Chen Shi. , it is not considered a high-quality product, but it is one-star and has no mildew. If it is sold at a lower price, someone will definitely buy it..."
"What do you mean by always?" Cui Xie glanced at him, and asked coldly, "Why are all the old goods in the store, and there are still three or five years old? When Mrs. Chen was in charge of the shop, did you dare to be so perfunctory? "
Cui Liangdong sighed: "It wasn't like this before, that is, there are often some things that other people gave our family to sell in the store, and Chen's also has everything, but after all, there are also new goods to support. It's just that the master wanted to elect officials a few days ago, in order to raise money. The money sold the decent and good stuff to other families at a bargain price, and when the master left, he picked up some gifts from Yunnan..."
After Cui Dachang took office, he asked his family for money, and he used shoddy money to make up for the lost money.
If this person is really interested in doing business, he can be fooled to death by this family.
Fortunately, all these things came for nothing to Cui Xie. He only wanted the storefront and yard, and he didn't care much about the previous business conditions. He just said: "If this is the case, it will not be shipped tomorrow. Testify, take out all the things in the store for inspection, pick out any moldy or rotten ones, ask the neighbors to watch, and carry them to the outside of the city to burn. The good ones ask the people in the store to estimate the actual price and sell them at a 30% discount , sell it for as many days as it should, and send the rest to the city nursing home for orphans to eat."
It's been a long time since he's done anything, and these people are forcing him to hype it up.
Looking at the shocked expressions of the three of them, he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I know you are reluctant. But I have already found someone to take over this shop, and they will definitely hand over the shop when they come over, so you should do it quickly. Come out, otherwise the losses that you haven't sold will fall on you."
what! Has someone taken over this shop
This news is even more shocking than that Cui Xie wants to give the good Nanhuo shed to the orphan and the poor. Cui Liangdong asked in shock: "Young master has already found someone to take over? In fact, two days ago, the head of the engineering department, whom the old master made, asked about this shop..."
Not to mention the head of the Ministry of Work, even the Minister of Work is not good enough. He had already written the white deed that had changed hands, and he also asked the old man to make a hand model. Only after Cui Yuan and the shopkeeper Ji came to Beijing with the craftsman, the new book and the book edition, they could sign the contract and open his new bookstore.
He glanced at the three of them and said lightly: "I have already planned what to do with this store. You don't have to think about it, and don't talk nonsense outside. As long as you do your duty, I will not treat you badly, but if you want to Relying on outsiders to bully the master, Cui Ming is your example."
The three of them remembered the fate of the Cui Ming family, and their backs were covered in cold sweat.
At that time, Cui Xie was still in the countryside, and he dared to bring the second manager who was favored by his ex-wife into the yamen. Now he is the master of the supervisor, who can't be dealt with? Before handing them over to make plans and asking them to re-manage the shop, it was because he still remembered some old feelings and gave them a chance to make changes.
The three of them didn't dare to think carefully in front of him, and patted their chests and repeatedly promised: "I'm not the villain who deceives one's heart and forgets righteousness, and I will definitely do well in the things the son has given me. If there is someone who will be the next shopkeeper. Come and watch, the little ones must work together with him to sell things neatly."
After they returned from Cui Xie's place, they couldn't help but muttered: "It can't be that little shopkeeper, right? Otherwise, why did the son ask him to come home last time?"
"Did you make up your mind on which one to sell at that time? But I didn't make a five-year plan at that time..."
"You don't even think about what's going on in our family!" Cui Liangdong slapped his palms: "He asked the son so arrogantly for money, but our family can't get the money. The son even sold the household to make a hundred taels of silver. , can you give it to him? Who will sell his shop if you don't sell it!"
The two shopkeepers looked at each other in dismay: "If the South Store does not open, I don't know which store those guys from the South will end up in. What will happen to our two stores in the future."
Without the Nanhuo Store, which has been standing on its feet and has been suppressing these two stores for many years, the owners of the two stores, Satin and Powder, also secretly have some competition in their hearts.
====================
Xie Ying didn't know that there was another news in the Cui family's shop until the treat. He wants to invite his boss and colleagues to dinner, so he can't really use those old goods. He just tells the cook to buy some when he gets home, and it's just for people to see and joke about for a while.
When he came back in the evening, the cook came and explained that the shop was closed.
He frowned and asked, "Why is it closed? Does anyone dare to go there to make trouble, or is there a problem with the goods in his house, and someone is called to the door?"
The cook grinned and said, "It's not that, it was the young master who wanted to close it himself. He said that he heard that the things in the store were not good, and the master was angry. The township deputy, Li Zheng, etc. accompany them into the store to check the goods, and don't want the moldy, sour and bad ones, they will be carried to the outside of the city and burned! A bunch of people are chasing them today!"
He shook his head and said regretfully: "The moldy thing is actually nothing, people who are not so particular, as long as it can be cheaper, they can buy it and cut it and eat it. But the owner of the family doesn't want money, so he just burns it. ."
Xie Ying smiled and said to himself, "It really is something he can do."
Seeing that Xie Ying didn't look angry, the cook said, "If the master wants something from his family, it will be back in a day or two. The young man said that after they cleaned up the moldy goods, they could still have it. After a few days and ten days, a new shop owner will take over, and any remaining goods will be sent to the nursing home, so they can no longer occupy the shop."
He set up a library and asked people to read books for free, and donated the rest of the goods to the nursing home. This is all a way of doing things. It can be seen that he is a person who takes pity on the poor and the elderly.
Even Xie Ying was not surprised that he wanted to burn the moldy goods - after all, he was such a thoughtful post person, he was afraid that someone would get sick after picking up moldy things and eating them on such a hot day
The cook was still beside him and asked him, "Can I go to his house to buy something in two days?"
Xie Ying nodded slightly: "You don't need to buy more." Shi Ji's solitary elder is also a merit. After their scholar will try to enter the field, there will be a sinner who will reward him, giving him the opportunity to accumulate more blessings.
Xie Ying was paying attention to his shop, and there were many people in Guozijian who were concerned about his family. After all, Sinology only gave two buckets of eight liters of rice and a few liters of wheat and beans in January, and the rest were folded into treasured banknotes. It is rare to hear of a store that offers discounts, and many poor Gongsheng are willing to take a few more steps to buy things there.
The news that Cui's Nanhuo Store was dealing with outdated and used goods passed through the students and then returned to Cui Xie's own ears.
He listened to those few people working according to his own words, he was a little satisfied, and there was a smile on his face. The superintendent who spoke also sighed: "That shop owner really has a conscience. He sells it cheap, but he doesn't want to be shoddy. Those shopkeepers who only sell things in a glamorous way and stuffed with rotten goods see what he's doing. They should all be hanged to death. It's a pity that the clearance period is too short, and I can't buy much of his stuff at once. It would be nice if it was sold like this every day."
Cui Xie told him to praise him too harshly, he was embarrassed to listen to it, and he couldn't say that he was the owner of the store, so he casually opened up the topic: "There are places that sell things, and we have only one day to review. Two days after another, I don’t know whose turn it will be, I think we should endorse more and prepare to explain.”
One of the supervisors who was talking to him also said: "Yeah, the papers for the quiz at the end of the month should also be seen. I don't know when it will be posted outside the hall. I'm waiting to see it."
and many more! what! The Imperial Supervisor even posted the exam papers
The most tragic method he had ever heard of before was the class rankings and grade rankings, and the rankings were posted in the corridors. Later, because of the students' understanding, the rankings were not announced to the public. Their Imperial College actually posted the papers!
This also makes it impossible for people to live... Why didn't he stay at the county school in the first place
Cui Xie pressed the table nervously and asked, "Do you post everyone's papers? Those who didn't pass the exam..."
"Of course it won't be posted." A young supervisor in his early thirties smiled and said, "They all pick the best ones and post them for students to read and copy. Usually it's Brother Ye Tingjin, Brother Cheng Shiheng, and Sun. Brother Youzhen... Several of the articles are the best. This year's Jiangxi puzzling Yuan fell to Sinology and immediately became a famous person. Although he is young, his articles are excellent, elegant and peaceful, and his words are reasonable. Profound, and Fei Siye instructs him to read and write, how can he get better every time."
It turned out that only the best ones were posted, so he was relieved. Cui Xie sighed quietly, and also echoed his classmates and said: "After those good articles are posted, I have to think about them carefully. After reading more of Xie Yuan's articles, I don't have to worry about judging people."
As long as his articles are not posted and publicly executed, he has nothing to fear. In addition to being relieved, his mind became more active, and he remembered that his own Ju'anzhai was the place where literati books were published. If there were any good articles, he could also discuss with the author in person and collect them into an anthology of Guozijian.
