Lu Xu went out and recruited a group of guys who were missing arms and legs. Lu Xuan and Luo Chun were a little surprised, but not too surprised.
After all, there is a group of armor-plated soldiers in their caravan that they are unwilling to use elsewhere.
Lu Xu is soft-hearted, which is well known to everyone in Guanyang.
Especially in his restaurant, some ingredients are sold at a loss. Because of this, he has a group of die-hard old customers, and there are always guests who serve as waiters, clearing the tables, cooking noodles, serving soup and rice for them, so they have to cook and eat by themselves, and even collect the bills for them when they are busy. This is also a strange scene that has never appeared before when they watched the sun.
The Lu family has long been used to it, and it was not uncommon for Luo Chun to eat at his restaurant in the past. Lu Xu always only wanted to make money as a whole and didn't care about whether the details were cost-effective.
Some businessmen who had a good relationship with him also reminded him that he was not doing business, but playing house.
But Lu Xu didn't care.
He's making money.
He doesn't care, there are people who care for him, like Lu Wen.
He had honed his bargaining skills at a young age, and every time Lu Wen received goods for him, he would make the supplier blush until his neck became thick with anger.
Want to sell him something more expensive than others? dream.
Want to buy his stuff cheaper than others? No way.
Especially the dessert shop that Lu Xu didn't care about and Lu Wen often visited.
Xiao Xia has a soft personality and has no ideas, while Han Lu is not afraid of big trouble no matter what she does. With the concerted efforts of the three of them, the dessert shop has almost become their famous black shop in Guanyang.
Making money is making money, but sometimes Lu Xuan is afraid that Lu Wen will be beaten.
He didn't think Lu Xu's way was right, and he didn't think Lu Wen's way was right either, but in comparison, he was still more willing to deal with Lu Xu's aftermath.
This time, Lu Xuan also took care of Lu Xu's aftermath as usual and worked hard without complaint.
He first took people to the back and asked them where they lived, how far away they were, when they could start work, whether they needed accommodation, and also made statistics on what they could do.
For those who could say anything but seemed to be unable to do anything, he arranged for them to move around to help first and see what they wanted to do and what they could do.
Although there is no heavy work in their shop, they are either missing an arm or a leg, and Lu Xuan is also in trouble.
In the end, only those with less serious injuries can be selected to be responsible for large items and distribution and replenishment.
The manpower needed to be tempered, and it was Lu Jiusheng's first time doing business. Lu Xuan thought about it and decided not to leave this time.
He stayed to help Lu Jiusheng, and then went back with him when Lu Xu sent the second shipment of things.
Lu Xu asked: "Do you really want to stay?"
Lu Xuan nodded.
Lu Xu's scalp was numb.
Originally, when Lu Xuan came out this time, he didn't tell his fourth uncle and fourth aunt that he would never go back...
He won't be beaten by his fourth uncle when he returns to the village, right?
Seeing his elder brother's guilty expression, Lu Xuan couldn't help but laugh. He asked Lu Xu to quickly pack up his things and get out, so that he could come to pick him up as soon as possible.
Lu Xuan threatened: "If it snows heavily and you can't go back to celebrate the New Year, you have to come to Qinglong City to accompany me!"
Lu Xu took the order, took away all the money the shop had made in the past few days, and ran away with the people.
Luo Chun: "You just threw him there by yourself?"
Lu Xu: "What do you mean by himself? Jiu Sheng is here, isn't he? Mr. Accountant has taken up his post, and the checkout guy has allocated four to him. If this doesn't work out, he will stay at home and don't come out."
Luo Chun: "..."
He suddenly felt that the family tradition of education with sticks was quite gentle. He had misunderstood his grandfather, uncle, father and brother in the past.
Cruel is still Lu Xu.
As a result, Lu Xu, who was particularly cruel to his younger brother, arrived in Dengzhou. He just caught up with Lu Qing, who was herding sheep, and said this: "Xiao Xuan insists on opening a store in Qinglong City and staying in Qinglong City to look after the store. He won't listen to my advice." .”
Luo Chun: "..."
As long as Lu Qing asks Lu Xuan first before talking to him, it will make people less contemptuous of him.
They are both eldest brothers, but Lu Xu and Luo Shen are completely different. Luo Chun thought about it for a while, and he really admired Luo Shen more, who had a calm personality and was more arrogant than his eldest brother.
The street in Dengzhou has been completely cleared, and the area where houses have not been built has been cleared by Luo Guang and Luo Dan and used as a temporary sheep pen.
The children in the city had just finished selling stones and began to cut grass to sell to them to feed the sheep. Those children who could only walk and talk were brought over by their brothers and sisters to look at the lambs.
Even the good-tempered Magistrate Cui had some objections. How could he turn a city and a street into a zoo?
But Dengzhou City has also come to life visibly.
A new store opened next to the leather goods store, specializing in selling plush toys and various accessories. In addition to selling, they also distributed work.
Wash wool, dye and color, make toys, knead wool, poke felt, make hair ropes, small accessories...
The handy girls in the city went to the backyard of the shop to work every day. A group of little girls gathered together to do handicrafts as if they were playing. From time to time, someone would come up with new ideas. By the time Lu Xu arrived, they had already invented many kinds of colors and small dolls.
But there are also a lot of weird and defective products.
The first batch to come out had already been sold by Lu Xuan to Qinglong City. As soon as Lu Xu came back, Luo Dan and Luo Guang anxiously asked how the sales were going.
Lu Xu: "It's so popular that it's almost sold out. Make it quickly. I'll transport these back to Guanyang first, and supply the new ones to Qinglong City."
Luo Dan and Luo Guang were also greatly encouraged and ran quickly to deliver the good news to their craftsmen and female workers.
Don’t worry about losing money, just go ahead and do it boldly!
Lu Xu also ran to watch them make felt. He only knew roughly what it was, but he didn't expect these little girls to actually make it.
He came over to take a look. There were lambs, rabbits, chickens, ducks, piglets, deer, calves... and tiger cubs.
Lu Xu was curious: "Who made the tiger?"
A little girl blushed and said, "It's me."
Lu Xu looked at the cuteness and couldn't put it down, "Is there any more?"
The little girl nodded.
Others betrayed her, saying, "Her grandma knows how to make tiger-head shoes, she made them according to the pattern!"
"She also made woolen shoes."
Lu Xu asked her to take it out and have a look.
Her grandmother made tiger-head shoes for children, so she learned how to make them. The ones made of felt were also tiger-head shoes for children, but the ones that were poked out were more plush and cute.
Lu Xu made some gestures and decided to take it back to Lu Rui to wear. If Lu Rui couldn't wear it, he would sell it in Yuan Manniang's shop.
Lu Xu encouraged: "It's great! It's amazing! Come on, do more!"
The little girl smiled shyly.
Making a pair of shoes is more labor-intensive and time-consuming than anything else. Shopkeeper Luo pays them 20 cents a day. She couldn't make a pair for several days and was always afraid of being fired.
Lu Xu praised her like this, which emboldened her. She even plucked up the courage to ask Lu Xu if he wanted tiger-head shoes. Her grandmother's craftsmanship was very good.
Lu Xu asked her to bring it to see.
Lu Xu walked around again, wanting to bring some small gifts to La Yue and Xiao Xia. While shopping, he saw a seven or eight-year-old girl tying her bandage with her fingers flying.
Lu Xu was surprised: "You also work here?"
The little girl nodded: "Yes."
The girl on the side laughed and said, "She's very quick!"
Lu Xu asked: "What do you do this for?"
The little girl who was only seven or eight years old, her voice still full of childishness, raised her head and said: "I'll hang it for the little sheep!"
Lu Xu remembered that the stuffed sheep with red stripes he saw in Qinglong City turned out to be her hand.
Lu Xu was curious: "What else will you do?"
"I know a lot." She counted on her fingers. "I can make knots, make fur balls, make lambs, poke lambs and puppies."
Lu Xu squatted next to her, "Then can you teach me how to knit something?"
The little girl tilted her head and looked at him: "What are you making up?"
Lu Xu pointed to the ones already compiled on the shelf: "That's it."
After Luo Chun and Lu Qing had packed the things they were going to bring, Lu Xu also came out of the shop, carrying a large baggage in his hand.
Luo Chun laughed at him: "Please be careful, is it okay for an adult to harass a little girl?"
Lu Xu: "Why is it so outrageous for the boss to encourage his employees?"
He threw the bundle into the car, untied it and showed it to them, "Look, the little rabbits, puppies, lambs, and calves, how cute they are."
Luo Chun looked quite cute, "Keep that tiger for me, I'll take it back to comfort my son, and the flower on his head."
Lu Xu: "The little tiger is for our Lu Rui, I'll keep this for you."
He took out a puppy.
Luo Chun: "If you don't want a puppy, of course my son wants a tiger!"
Lu Qing watched the two of them arguing with an expressionless face. He looked up at the sky and his eyes were empty. After a while, he raised his feet and walked away.
One is eighteen or nineteen, the other is almost twenty...
He still has to worry about this and that.
Just as they returned to Guanyang, the caravans of Chongning and Wenqiu also purchased goods from Guanyang and returned home.
Fortunately for Wenqiu merchants, they are also bordering the state capital, and they used to go to the state capital to purchase goods.
Although the big businessmen in the state capital don't like to talk to them, they have seen the prosperity of the state capital.
People in Chongning are different. Because of the poor geographical location, it is difficult to cross mountains and ridges, and Chongning is a large area. It is very difficult to go out of the county. Even businessmen who are known to do everything for profits have rarely left Chongning County.
Those who are enterprising will at most go to Wenqiu to purchase goods.
I don’t blame them for this, after all, they are not as prosperous as the south.
Most of the people eat the food they grow and the vegetables they grow. They can also weave and spin their own cloth. They work hard all year long and cannot earn money, but they can barely make enough food and clothing through hard work.
They really don't like to go out.
It is difficult to get out and it also delays their farming.
Especially in Chongning, the fields are not as fertile as elsewhere. They have to plant one and a half acres to harvest an acre of food produced elsewhere.
After paying taxes every year, what is left is enough to survive hunger and buy things?
They are not even active in going to the market.
In such an environment, it is also difficult for merchants. People don't like to buy, so it's difficult for them to sell. They buy less, so the price is high. The higher the price, the less people like to buy.
It's simply a vicious cycle.
Therefore, there are not many big and powerful businessmen in Chongning. This time, the government took the lead in organizing them to go to Yangguang. The name was to buy goods, but in fact they wanted to sell goods.
They have many mountains in Chongning, and they produce medicinal materials from the mountains!
Especially since they are vast and sparsely populated, and there are some places where no one goes all year round, you can always find herbs that are of sufficient vintage.
They had thought about it, even if Guanyang people were not interested in it, weren't there many southern merchants in Guanyang?
If you sell it to them cheaply, you can always make money!
Moreover, this time the three counties have negotiated and will not charge city fees. They will pay for half of the food and lodging on the road, and the Yamen will pay for the other half. When they arrive in Guanyang, they will be organized to buy and sell goods. Special things need to be chosen and negotiated by themselves, but it is common Guanyang Yamen will monitor the prices of goods to ensure that they will not be cheated.
This is no longer a businessman, anyone who is not stupid can do it.
Chongning County and Yaman County made some changes and required that each town must have at least one trader, bring their town's specialties, and gather in the county seat.
Once they are all together, they can set off.
Chongning Yamen escorted the Chongning section, Wenqiu Yamen escorted the Wenqiu section, entered Guanyang, and Guanyang Yamen escorted all the way.
Each of these small businessmen is small in size, but they have a lot of people. Even though the Luo family has opened an inn along the way, there is still not enough accommodation, so many people have been arranged to stay in nearby villages.
The village that was going to receive them had also received the news in advance and had already packed up their houses and prepared meals.
Anyway, the money is advanced by the government, and they are happy to make money.
The businessmen from the two counties traveled all the way to Guanyang like a tourist. They didn't have to worry about food and drink on the way, and they didn't have to worry about safety. If their car broke down, someone would help them. Apart from the hard work of walking to transport the goods, there didn’t seem to be any special feeling.
After all, it is hard work to farm at home without going out.
After entering Guanyang County, the merchants from Wenqiu County didn't feel much, but the merchants from Wenqiu towns and Chongning were all shocked.
Especially the small businessmen who were forced to come here from the mountains of Chongning by the Yamen. They looked at Guanyang dreamingly. They had never seen such a prosperous city.
Such a wide and flat street, such a beautiful house, so many dazzling items, so many people!
And that big river.
Spacious, flat, gentle, slow.
The rivers in their deep mountains cannot carry boats, and flash floods may occur in summer, destroying their fields and houses.
Why is the water different in the two places?
Chongning people stood at Guanyang Pier, smelling the fish smell, looking at the busy boats and the green river, and couldn't get back to their senses for a long time.
Guanyang County Government had already packed up the inn, and the officials took them into the inn to rest, and those who couldn't stay were arranged to stay in an inn in the county town.
In the afternoon, they are free to do some shopping.
The next day, the government organized a trade fair in the open space from Guanyang Pier to the county seat.
