In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

For the safety of their grandfather, Chen Ruotong and Qiao Zien sent Old Man Chen, Uncle Qiao, Uncle Zhao, and Zhao Tiedan to the farm.

Only Chen Ruotong, Qiao Zien, Chunhua and Xiahe were left in Chen's house. The two girls would not come to the front yard unless there was something going on. They would basically hang out in the backyard and hide in the house to escape the heat when there was nothing to do. The target was Chen Ruotong, so the two girls were relatively safe in comparison. With Qiao Zien by her side, she asked Haozi to guard the Huicui Building.

There is only a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as a thief who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. Instead of being on guard every day, it is better to take the initiative. So Chen Ruotong decided to wait at home, chatting with Qiao Zien under the peach tree with a fan every day. She doesn't know how to play chess. But she can ask Qiao Zien to teach her, so that she can learn to play chess and go fishing at the same time!

Zhenpin Pavilion and Huicui Building were handed over to Zhang Yishun to take care of, plus two shopkeepers, several bodyguards, and yamen runners patrolling the streets day and night, so she was more assured about the business. Even when it came to big deals, she let Zhang Yishun do the talking. When there was a shortage of goods, Qiao Zien would accompany her to put some goods in the warehouse and then come back together. Chen Ruotong felt that this bodyguard was very considerate and had reached the standard of five companions.

Three days passed in a flash, and the Qiao residence was safe and sound. It was not a good idea to wait at home all the time. She could not let this incident affect her normal life. She had to be vigilant and cautious, and she had to do business! So Chen Ruotong shifted her focus to business.

The eighth day of the seventh month is the day for paying monthly wages. It is a day worth celebrating. Zhenpin Pavilion has been open for two months. This month's turnover has reached a new level. Retail does not make much money, but wholesale makes a lot. The turnover of various commodities has reached 300,000 taels. After deducting the cost of 150,000 taels, paying 7,500 taels in taxes, and giving Zhang Yishun a 20% profit of 28,500 taels, the remaining 114,000 taels belongs to Chen Ruotong. Together with the principal of 150,000 taels, the total is 264,000 taels. Wow, another huge sum of money, plus the 389,400 taels in the space, that is 653,400 taels. Another confusing day!

Chen Ruotong gave monthly wages to the employees of Zhenpin Pavilion and Chen's House. Huicui Building had been open for less than a month, so the monthly wages could only be paid on July 28th, and everyone agreed. In order to increase the turnover of Huicui Building, Chen Ruotong launched a promotional activity, buy one get two free, buy a piece of jewelry with a purchase of 20 taels or more and get two glasses of iced drinks; buy 50 taels or more and get a glass of iced drink and a box of pastries in the space (one box of two pieces); buy 100 taels or more and get a glass of iced drink and a silver ring in the space. This activity was very effective and attracted many young girls and wives to buy, if for no other reason than for the gifts, hehehe...

At the same time, a high-end silver jewelry booth was added on the second floor. It was the space's 3D craft silver jewelry, with a strong shiny metal texture. It was a new craft, so it was loved by young girls and sales increased. Chen Sanhe and his colleagues were full of passion and only hoped that the sales would exceed by the end of the month.

On July 11, it started to drizzle, and the temperature dropped a little. People rushed to the streets to get wet in the rain, praying to God for more rain to alleviate this year's drought. The happiest person was Old Man Chen, who inspected and guided the work on the farm every day. He was a great leader, and everyone admired him and listened to him, so he had a sense of pride. He stood in the drizzle and watched the rice seedlings sucking the rain and dew, and felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. I don't know if it rained in my hometown. It should rain if it's under the same sky and not too far away, right?

On the contrary, Qingyang Prefecture was still dry and no rain had fallen. Many southerners who had fled famine poured into Qingyang Prefecture and moved to Anyang Prefecture.

After two days of light rain, the drought was temporarily alleviated and the scene was prosperous again.

On July 13, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up. People who had been stuck at home for two days went out to shop. Zhang Ruixi led her two sisters and the maid into the Huicui Building. She wanted to see the high-end silver jewelry.

Qiuyue led a few people to the second floor, where Chen Sanhe was displaying new products. He wore a silver bracelet with the six-character mantra on his wrist, which was an ornament from Chen Ruotong's space. There was no similar bracelet on the shelves of Huicui Building, and Zhang Ruixi liked it very much, so he asked, "Young man, can you show me this string of beads?"

Chen Sanhe bowed and said, "Miss, I am the owner of this store. Please take a seat over there."

He brought Zhang Ruixi to the reception room, took off the bracelet, lowered his head and handed it to Zhang Ruixi's maid with both hands, then quickly stepped aside.

Zhang Ruixi took the bracelet and asked, "Oh, sorry, it's Mr. Chen San. I want to ask if you still have this kind of beads?"

Chen Sanhe paused, blushing and saying, "Sorry, Miss, we don't have it in the store. This is a gift from my fourth brother. I can ask him. If he has it, I'll send someone to inform you, okay?"

Zhang Ruixi looked at Chen Sanhe carefully. He was really handsome. She knew that Zhenpin Pavilion was run by the second son and Huicuilou was run by the third son. When Zhenpin Pavilion opened, there were many people and she didn't notice the third son. When she saw him today, he was really extraordinary. She felt that she was a little presumptuous. It was too rude to stare at a man. Her face turned red. She lowered her head and handed the beads to the maid, who then handed it to Chen Sanhe.

Chen Sanhe put on the beads and asked, "Can you tell me where Miss lives? I'll send someone to inform you!"

Zhang Ruixi said embarrassedly: "No need, I will come again in a few days, goodbye!"

So, without having time to look at other accessories, he left in a hurry with his two friends.

Chen Ruotong came to give Chen Sanhe ice cream: "Third brother, I made a new food today, you try it. It's delicious and cools down the body. I only gave it to you and second brother, I didn't even want to give it to Qiao Zien!"

Chen Sanhe took the ice cream and took a bite. "Mm, it's icy, sweet, and delicious. Second brother is going to let you do this kind of food business again, right?"

"You're right. My second brother wants to trade in everything he sees. He's addicted. It's hard to make ice cream. I just eat it and don't care about making it. The lady who just left looked familiar."

"Yeah, he looks familiar to me, but I can't remember who he is."

"What did she buy?"

"She liked this bracelet on my hand."

"You have good taste. This bracelet is a masterpiece!"

“But we don’t sell it in our store!”

"Then I'll take out a few strings to sell. There aren't many, just three or four."

"Well, the woman said she'll come back to buy it in a few days, so I'll put it away and put it up again after she buys it."

In the afternoon, Chen Ruotong took out five silver bracelets of different styles from the space and handed them to Chen Sanhe.

"Little sister, you are so awesome. If you say we have it, we have it. What new products haven't you brought out yet?" Chen Sanhe said in a mean way.

"What are you busy with? It would be boring if you take them out all at once. You can only entice customers to buy them by taking them out bit by bit. Put out new products every now and then to attract customers!" Chen Ruotong said with a smirk.

Three days later, Zhang Ruixi came to Huicui Building again. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Chen Sanhe counting the bills at the counter. She bowed politely and asked, "Third Master, is that bracelet in stock?"

Chen Sanhe raised his head and their eyes met. Chen Ruixi's big watery eyes looked at him steadily, and his star-like eyes looked at Zhang Ruixi. Wow! Why do I feel like there are so many pink bubbles flying?

Both of them blushed and lowered their heads. Chen Sanhe took Zhang Ruixi up to the second floor, took out a small box from a cabinet, and then placed five bracelets on the display plate. She immediately liked the bracelet that was exactly the same as Chen Sanhe's, so she took it and put it on her wrist. It was heavy and the size was just right. In fact, it would fit anyone because the string was an elastic string.

She looked at the beads on her hand and accidentally saw the beads on Chen Sanhe's hand. Suddenly she realized that they were exactly the same. She felt a little embarrassed, but she liked this bracelet very much, so she bought it without taking it off.

After going downstairs, he paid two hundred taels of silver, did not even take the gifts, and ran away with his little maid!
