It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

However, the road had already been blocked by heavy snow, so what he had to do now was to guard against the enemy's sneak attack. He couldn't take the initiative to attack with his men, as that would be suicide. He would have to wait until next year to attack.

The tribe that Moto belongs to no longer needs to exist. They have invaded Daqin the most times and are the real threat to Mobei.

Only by defeating them completely could Mobei have a few years of peace, freeing up his hands to fight King Tuo.

Yang Shuo had a plan, so he quietly started to carry it out. In order to keep his grandfather safe and marry Weng Xiaoxiao with a grand ceremony, he had to do the things at hand.

"Jingming, go prepare the horses." He had to make a round of inspection before the New Year. If he wanted to take the initiative to attack others, he couldn't leave any loopholes.

Chunhe took out a fur coat and put it on Yang Shuo. In the Qin Kingdom, apart from the Yang Family Army, there were probably not many generals who would personally patrol the area. He could only let the general have no worries.

……

On November 16, Weng Xiaoxiao's toy shop opened.

The shop is named "Ruyi Bear", which represents auspiciousness, happiness and good luck. All the toys produced are branded with the cute cartoon bear designed by Weng Xiaoxiao.

To make the event more lively, Pei Jun invited a team of lion dancers who played gongs and drums, creating an atmosphere of joy.

Several children around five years old were invited from the farm and neighbors to join in the fun.

A toy store only has business if it attracts children. If children don’t like it, adults will naturally not spend money on it.

With the bustle of opening and the sounds of children playing, naturally more and more people started to come.

"Does it cost money to sit on this wooden horse at your door?"

"Children under seven can play for free, but children who are too young must be supervised by themselves."

"Dad, I want to ride a horse."

The adult who was asking the question couldn't resist the child's pestering and picked him up.

"Wow! This horse can still move! Go, go, go..." He shouted happily.

Children's happiness is so simple.

A child came over, and soon there was a second one, and a third one...

"There are so many toys in the room." A little kid inside shouted to the outside. Of course, he said that because the waiter reminded him, because they were so busy playing that they had forgotten their mission.

"Dad, I want to go in and play, too."

The man looked at the guy at the door and asked, "Is it free inside too?"

The waiter smiled and said, "There is a fee inside, five cents an hour, they are all fresh styles, the children like them."

When he heard that there was a charge of five cents for an hour, the man shook his head and took the child away.

Some people leave reluctantly, while others stay.

Weng Xiaoxiao originally planned to let the children experience it for free, but as soon as this idea was proposed, she was stopped by Pei Jun.

If everything is free, how many children will come! Children who can go out to play are not from poor families, but most people may not be willing to pay for playing. If they are reluctant to spend money even for playing, then they are even less likely to buy. These are not potential customers.

Weng Xiaoxiao would naturally listen to reasonable suggestions, and would not blindly copy the experience of later generations.

At the end of the day, only three children paid to go in and play, but two of them spent money to buy toys.

In any case, there was business on the first day the shop opened.

To do mid- to high-end business, you need to build a stable customer base. As long as the small customers who have purchased from you are satisfied, they may be long-term customers.

The shop had a greeter, two assistants to play with the children, and a shopkeeper who was promoted from a pickle shop.

Weng Xiaoxiao took a look secretly and found that this combination was very suitable. Everyone had their own responsibilities and could deal with various situations.

With good products and early publicity, we can just wait for the business to slowly pick up.

……

On the second day of the twelfth lunar month, a colorful magpie landed on the tree early in the morning.

When a magpie comes to your door, it must be bringing good news.

In the afternoon, a team of carriages and horses stopped outside the Weng house.

The new servants didn't know the person who knocked on the door.

Liu Hongsheng thought that the owner had moved to a new house, so he tried to ask, "Young man, is this still Mr. Weng's house?"

After asking about the boss, the two looked at each other and guessed that it was one of their own. Zhongshan hurried in and called Qiuyue.

Qiuyue dropped what she was doing and ran out.

"Brother Liu? It's really you!" Qiuyue was not familiar with them, but she knew them all.

"Yes, yes, I thought I went to the wrong door."

"The master has been thinking about you guys all the time, and it just so happens that you are here today," Qiuyue looked at the five large cars lined up outside, "Everyone, please go into the yard first. The master has gone to work and will be back later."

Liu Hongsheng felt a little embarrassed as his boss was not around, and looked back at his old friends.

Everyone looked anxious to go home, and it was no wonder that they all missed home after being away from home for two years.

"Miss Qiuyue, let these drivers go home first. I will stay here with the account book and report the situation to the boss."

Qiuyue saw that everyone had no intention of entering the courtyard, and she understood how much they missed home. "Okay, then Brother Liu can stay here by himself."

He turned around and ordered, "Zhongshan, go to the kitchen and pack a basket of ready-made food."

Qiuyue was the housekeeper, so naturally they had to follow her arrangements. The two of them trotted to the kitchen to find Mrs. Gan.

"Everyone has come such a long way and must have worked hard. I should have invited everyone in and treated them well, but I understand that you all miss home so much, so I have to wait for the host to find time to come and welcome you. I'll have someone prepare some ready-made food for everyone to eat on the way."

When a few honest farmers heard this, they thanked Qiuyue again and again. After working outside for the past two years, they have gained a lot of experience and are no longer as reserved and afraid to speak as before.

Not long after, Zhongshan came back with a large food box and put it on the leading carriage.

"It's a temporary preparation, so it's a little simple, please bear with me. The bank is the busiest at the end of the year, and the master often comes home late, so I won't keep you."

"Miss, you are too polite. We all know that the boss is busy."

"Brother Dasha, please send my luggage back, and tell my parents that I will be back later, so they don't worry about me."

"Got it, don't worry, brother Liu." Dasha agreed and got back in the car. "We're leaving. We'll meet again another day."

After the convoy had gone far away, Qiuyue invited Liu Hongsheng into the main room.

Feng Gu and Pei Jun were not at home, and it was not convenient for her, a grown-up girl, to accompany them. She could only call a servant to serve tea and water while she went to the kitchen to prepare the meal.

Before entering the kitchen, Qiuyue asked Zhongshan to send a letter to Weng Xiaoxiao. After hearing the news of the convoy's return, Weng Xiaoxiao would come back early no matter how busy the bank was.

Sure enough, when the message arrived, Weng Xiaoxiao threw the matter to Nie Xiaotong and returned early.

She couldn't keep the hero who returned from afar waiting for too long, and she was also anxious to know the news that Liu Hongsheng brought.

When Weng Xiaoxiao got home, Liu Hongsheng had just finished a big bowl of noodles.

"Thank you for your hard work, Manager Liu. Is everything ok on the journey?"
