Dressed as a little farmer's lucky treasure, God sends blessings and asks for forgiveness

The weather is sunny today. Although it is still cold, there is no need to use an umbrella yet. However, umbrellas are selling particularly well today because they are cheap.

An oil-paper umbrella that normally costs one or two taels of silver now only costs one hundred coins when the store opens.

One hundred cents a bunch, what a concept, it's too cheap.

Many people went there just for the oil-paper umbrellas. I heard that there was a 50% discount in the first three days after the opening, so people rushed in to grab them. In just half a day, all the things in Zhao’s Grocery Store were sold out.

Zhao Guocheng and others couldn't wait any longer. They had three days' supply of goods ready. All the goods in the warehouse had been taken out and now they were all cleared out.

"Dad, send someone back to replenish the stock quickly. On the way back, notify the two delivery companies and ask them to deliver half a month's supply this afternoon." Zhao Shiying also planned to do something big. There was no way to open the store in the afternoon. The things in the store were basically cleared out and there was nothing to sell.

"Okay, Dad and Old Man Yang will go back together, and the goods will arrive in the evening. I'll leave first." After lunch, Zhao Guocheng put down his bowl and chopsticks and left.

Old man Yang followed closely behind.

"Oh my God, this is too exaggerated." Zhao Shimin still hasn't come back to her senses.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that the purchasing power of people in this county is really great. What a mistake."

Zhao Shiying felt sad. If she had been more prepared, she wouldn't have to wait in vain in the afternoon and she could have earned more money. What a pity.

In the afternoon, the two sisters counted the accounts together.

Zhao Shihui and Zhao Shisheng were also helping out in the store. They had a few days of rest after the exams, and their family store happened to be open, so they simply came to the county. Anyway, the results would be announced in the next two days, and they were too lazy to run back and forth.

Zhao Shisheng and Zhao Shihui also joined in the accounting.

Five little heads were huddled together, muttering to each other, and the abacus was clattering. Wang Mian didn't know how to use the abacus yet, so the one using it was Zhao Shimin.

Zhao Shimin's mental arithmetic ability is not as good as the others, but she can use an abacus, which she learned from Wang Ronghua.

"Sister, you are so awesome. You are the only one among the five of us who can use an abacus, so you have to teach us." Zhao Shisheng was so envious.

I didn't expect that my elder sister had learned this skill without realizing it.

"Okay, there are also formulas for moving the abacus beads, which is the so-called abacus..." Zhao Shimin said while calculating today's accounts.

Everyone was watching and memorizing the formulas. Wang Mian even took a pen and paper and wrote down every sentence Zhao Shimin said, which helped him review better afterwards.

By the time all the accounts were settled, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Everyone was laughing and studying while working, and time passed quickly.

"Wow, little sister, you're not that great." Zhao Shimin was stunned after she figured it out.

"How much did we earn today? Tell me quickly." Zhao Shihui was the most anxious and asked quickly.

"Guess what?" Zhao Shimin kept it a secret.

"Don't keep me in suspense. Just tell me." Zhao Shisheng also wanted to know.

"All the income today adds up to 1,800 taels of silver." Zhao Shimin felt that she couldn't even imagine how much money she could have.

"Ah? So many!" Zhao Shisheng and Zhao Shihui stared in surprise, their mouths wide open, they simply couldn't believe it.

Wang Mian was silent. What a lot of money! He was so envious.

Zhao Shiying nodded.

"Not bad, then how much is the cost, including the cost of buying this shop, decoration, and purchasing goods, you can calculate these costs." Zhao Shiying said.

"Hey, wait a minute," Zhao Shimin immediately heard the sound of abacus beads being moved.

"All these add up to more than 5,000 yuan, and the price is due to the shop," said Zhao Shimin.

"So, don't sigh anymore. Let's just work harder. We haven't even made back our costs yet," said Zhao Shiying.

"Little sister, this result is already very good." Zhao Shihui said unconvinced.

"I know, but our goal should be bigger. Only after we earn back these costs can we count it as profit," Zhao Shiying said.

"So this is how you calculate profit." Zhao Shihui nodded and touched his head embarrassedly. Not to mention, he is not as smart as his younger sister when it comes to doing business.

After that, several people began to count the money. The amount of silver and money matched because Zhao Guocheng took some silver and money to settle the bills with the two suppliers.

The first collaboration should also give people a taste of sweetness, right? This was taught by Zhao Shiying.

At the middle of the You hour, the two suppliers delivered four ox carts of goods, and the children began to get busy again.

Moving goods, checking numbers, and keeping accounts, with several people working together, it wasn't chaotic at all.

The shopkeeper who came to deliver the goods was surprised to find that the people doing business in this shop were all children, and there was no adult anywhere. After asking, he found out that they had gone home to deliver the goods.

Children as old as Zhao Shiying in his family are still asking for candied haws, but look at other people, they can all do business. He admired him a lot when he talked about supplying goods before. How could a little kid be so eloquent? He was really ruthless when it came to bargaining. It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others, and you'll throw away goods if you compare them with others.

After all four truckloads of goods were registered, the shopkeepers signed their respective lists, which was also a mandatory requirement of Zhao Shiying.

Afterwards, the account must be copied into a special account book.

All these matters were under the jurisdiction of Wang Mian.

"I can finally take a break. I'm so tired." Zhao Shihui was really tired. It felt more tiring than practicing martial arts.

There were four truckloads of goods, and although there were people from the other side helping to move them, they also put in a lot of effort.

"Take your time, don't rush. If you are impatient and want to do everything quickly, you will be more likely to make mistakes and get tired more easily." Zhao Shimin taught her brother.

"I know, big sister. You look like a housekeeper now, even more like one than my younger sister." After saying this, Zhao Shihui ran away to drink some water because she was very thirsty.

Zhao Shimin wanted to hit him but couldn't catch up, so she could only give up.

...........

Just after dinner, Zhao Guocheng, Old Man Yang, Qin Ming and Qin Hai arrived driving four ox carts.

So they started moving goods, registering and other operations again.

The shelves and cabinets were filled with things. The cabinets that were previously sold out were all filled up, with more things than before, and this time there was no gaps at all.

When everyone finished their work, it was already the end of the hour of Hai. Everyone simply washed up and went to bed.

Fortunately, Mrs. Yang and her grandson helped, otherwise the final cleaning alone would have taken a lot of time. The two of them also helped unload and lay out the goods.

The next morning, which was the second day after Zhao’s grocery store opened, Manager Wang got the news and came to congratulate.

Zhao Guocheng didn't tell anyone who opened the store this time, but he didn't expect that Manager Wang was so well-informed.

As soon as the restaurant opened, Manager Wang came to support it.

"Your stuff is good. I'll buy some to take back. You're so mean, brother. You didn't even invite me to open the store." Shopkeeper Wang patted Zhao Guocheng on the shoulder.

"Shopkeeper Wang, you're overthinking. To be honest, I didn't tell anyone about the store opening this time, not even my father and my father-in-law knew about it. You're so well-informed that you knew about it the next day." Zhao Guocheng gave Shopkeeper Wang a thumbs up in admiration.

"Hahaha...you want to make a fortune in silence, right? Then I wish you a prosperous business and lots of money. I'll go in and take a look first." Shopkeeper Wang said with a smile.

"Please, feel free to look around and take anything you want." Zhao Guocheng said with a smile.
