Reborn in Dunhuang, I am farming and doing business in the desert

Chapter 59 Buying Land and Building Shops

"You did the right thing!"

Shen Heng patted Ah Zhu's shoulder and said, "Those two families are not good people. Don't pay any attention to them from now on!"

Ah Zhu nodded wildly and asked expectantly, "Brother Ah Heng, then, can I buy on credit as well?"

He scratched the back of his head and said, "I don't have any money now. I won't have to buy on credit when I earn some money."

Shen Heng glanced in the direction of his sister and hummed softly: "How difficult is that? You can borrow money from me later."

"Thank you, Brother Heng." Ah Zhu jumped up excitedly, scurried out like a rabbit, and pulled Wu Zhuang and said, "Dad, I will also sell cotton-padded clothes in the future, and you can make tofu with Brother A De."

Wu Zhuang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Even if I sell cotton clothes, I still have to do the work of grinding beans."

Ah Zhu laughed and said, "I didn't say I wouldn't do it, why are you so anxious?"

"Why don't you come pick the beans? We have a lot to do tonight."

Wu Zhuang glared at his son, poured three stone pieces of beans into a large plate, and quickly picked out the grass, stones and mud inside the soybeans. He then had to go to the Jinshui River to wash them.

"Coming, coming!" Ah Shi moved a bench over and sat next to the big plaque to eat beans.

On the second day, Shen Heng and his companions went out early in the morning to sell goods in their carts. Shen Zhao and his mother wore flowery cotton trousers and carried baskets to the Jinshui River to wash rice and vegetables, and also do laundry.

There were several women washing by the river, and they were stunned when they saw the mother and daughter's attire.

"Ms. Shen's pants are so beautiful. How much are they?" One person reached out to touch them enviously, estimating the price in his mind.

Zhang Shanyue: "Fifty coins per piece."

"So expensive?" The women were all shocked.

Zhang Shanyue smiled and said, "This is the purchase price. If we sell it at the market, we'll get 70 or 80 coins per piece."

Ah Zhu Niang also chimed in: "Yes, these cotton pants are made of precious fabrics and are very warm. I will buy a few pairs for the children to keep warm in a few days."

Another person came over and touched Zhang Shanyue's pants: "Wow! It's really warm. Can I exchange five dou of millet with your family later?"

"Why not?" Zhang Shanyue said with a smile, "We are all from the same village, how can I still make money from you?"

"Is it settled then?" The woman put the basket by the river, took out a few patched dirty clothes and rubbed them in the water, not daring to use too much force.

Zhang Shanyue: "Of course, you can go anytime."

Zhao Cui also came over and asked with a smile: "Sister Shen, can I buy on credit? I heard that my uncles and I bought on credit from you. How about you buy a few pieces on credit for me too? Alas, my family has no winter clothes, and we don't have much food left at home. We can only wait until the summer harvest next year to return the food to you."

Zhang Shanyue glanced at her and said, "I'm so sorry. My family also relies on money and grain to purchase goods. If I give it to you on credit, what can I give to them?"

"Oh, you just need my little money?" Zhao Cui pouted in dissatisfaction: "Everyone knows that your Shen family is rich? You can make more than ten thousand yuan in one market, and you still care about my little one or two hundred?"

Zhang Shanyue's face darkened: "Who told you that my family makes over 10,000 yuan per episode?"

"Who else do I need to tell? A cotton coat from your family costs only 200 coins, and I don't know how many pieces you sell in a market. How can you hide this from anyone?" Zhao Cui pouted and knocked the dirty clothes one by one.

Zhang Shanyue: "Don't those cotton-padded clothes cost money? Why don't you buy some cloth and make a few to sell and see how much you can earn?"

"Just do it! Do you think anyone can't do it?" Zhao Cui wrung the clothes casually a few times, threw them into the basket, picked them up and left in a hurry.

Several women stopped talking and left one after another after washing. Only Ah Zhu Niang stayed and sighed, "Madam Shen, you don't have to pay attention to her. His second aunt is just like that. Before the family split up, my husband, wife and children didn't know how much she had to deal with us."

Zhang Shanyue said nothing.

After washing clothes and rice with her daughter, the three of them returned home together. Because Ah Zhu and Shen Heng went to sell cotton-padded clothes, Ah Zhu's mother stayed at Shen's house to help winnow the beans. She left after all three stones of beans were clean.

Three days passed in a flash, the weather turned cold, and snow suddenly began to fall.

Shen Zhao asked her parents and brothers to put on thick cotton coats, trousers and shoes, and asked her father to write an identity token for her.

Shen Ang was puzzled: "What do you want this for?"

"Open a shop." Shen Zhao took out a few pieces of white paper and spread them on the square table: "First write an identity certificate, then write a city registration document."

Shen Ang immediately looked at his daughter with caution: "City registration is not under my control, I, your father, dare not write to you casually."

"Don't worry, I won't give this thing away. You just write it according to the format, and I will burn it after use." Shen Zhao wanted to try this method to see if he could fool the Bronze Mirror Mall. If it didn't work, he would have to apply for city registration.

"Okay, okay." Shen Ang picked up the brush, dipped it in ink and wrote two certificates.

Then he nervously handed it to his daughter and said, "You must not take this thing outside, otherwise your father will be in trouble."

"Got it." Shen Zhao took the paper and ran to the side room happily.

Call out Xiaoqing: "I want to continue applying for a shop."

[OK, I will bring up the application page for you right away.]

As soon as he finished speaking, a virtual screen appeared and Shen Zhao placed two pieces of paper in the shooting area.

Then she stared at the page with wide eyes, and a green hook appeared. The identity information and shop operating license column actually acknowledged it!

Shen Zhao almost laughed out loud.

But the joy only lasted for two seconds, as the application channel was stuck again because one item was not successful, which was to take pictures of the store address and shop sign.

This requires careful consideration!
How about taking a photo of your own room and uploading it? Then write a sign on the door with a wooden plaque and take a photo.

No, no, once you settle down at home, there will definitely be a lot of trouble.

Shen Zhao walked around the room in circles, ruffling his hair, before he finally figured something out.

Since it is a shop, it must be located on a major traffic route, or a thatched hut must be built near the official road where the Hu merchants pass.

Anyway, I have money now, and the account balance has reached more than 30,000 yuan, so buying a piece of land and building a house is not a problem.

In this way, it is convenient to purchase goods from Western Hu merchants, and also to find the provenance of the items you buy from the mall, killing two birds with one stone.

Just do it!

Shen Zhao ran out of the wing room in a hurry and came to the main house: "Dad! Have you changed the service for my eldest brother?" Before buying the land, he had to make sure that his eldest brother's affairs were completed.

If he has to spend money to bribe others when taking the exam to become a minor official, then I cannot use the money without permission.

"It has been done, but Marquis Chen Wu wants him to be a clerk by his side." Shen Ang followed Marquis Chen Wu's approach to arrange for his son's service, and therefore Marquis Chen Wu's request made him very embarrassed.

I originally wanted to find someone to recommend my son so that he could work in the county government, but in the end my son had to go to the garrison, which was really frustrating.

But if he refused, he would not be able to do so, because Chen Wuhou's brother was an assistant officer of the Central Commandery, and he could not afford to offend him.

Shen Zhao was surprised: "How could this happen? Where is Chen Wuhou stationed? Will he be transferred out of the border?"
