Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around
Chapter 90 Opening and Making Money
Little Milk Bag shouted, "Daddy, set off some firecrackers!" Butler Ye bought a lot of firecrackers, and several people lit them. Suddenly, a crowd gathered in front of the shop. Someone asked, "What do you do here?" Little Milk Bag shouted, "We sell food. We have rice, noodles, fruits, vegetables, and more than you can imagine. Come and see..." Ye Heng held Guoguo, his face flushed. Little Milk Bag shouted, "Take a look! You won't be cheated, you won't be cheated. It's delicious and not expensive..." The onlookers laughed. "This child is so beautiful, so cute." "Let's go and take a look." One person went in, then a second, and then more people came in. There was an entrance and an exit, but those who entered could only enter through the exit. Someone inside led them out. "Welcome," the people heard, their eyes lighting up in wonder. Many of the items were new to them. The waiter walked around, explaining how to eat them and what they tasted like! As soon as one person bought something, another came. "Go to the cashier and weigh them to pay." Little Milk Bag considered the bag issue. A batch of cloth bags was hastily made. The waiter said, "You can use your own bags. These are five cents each." Someone used one of the bags, saying, "Not expensive, and still usable." Someone picked out a few large apples, all looking good. Pears, peaches... The waiter said the prices were different and they should be weighed. Someone bought some fruit and went to the checkout counter to pay. Yingchun took out all the fruit one by one, weighing each one and telling the customer how much it would cost in total. "Six taels, seven cents, and fifty cents," the customer counted out and handed it to Yingchun. "Welcome back," Yingchun said with a smile. She was so happy to receive so much money that she couldn't stop smiling. Little Naibao and Yeheng were in the backyard study, watching the shop in front through the screen. A magical scene unfolded. Chai Zhen poured them tea. "Guoguo, Heng'er, have a drink." Yeheng said, "Thank you, Second Uncle." "Grandpa, don't worry about us. Go and have some fun." Seeing that Guoguo didn't need his supervision, Chai Zhen went to the shop in front.
At this time, a carriage stopped outside the gate, and the bodyguard Xiao Jing stepped forward to help pull the carriage to the side. Huo Hua: "Please come in." "Ye Renwen saw that it was someone from Duke Lu's mansion, "Sir, please go to the backyard." Xiao Naibao also saw it, "Brother Ye, I'll go and get Brother Dong." "Okay. Go ahead." Ye Heng went out and got three water cups, poured tea. Go to the door to greet them, "Duke, please come in. Madam, please come in." Xiao Naibao: "Brother Dong, you haven't come to see Guoguo these days." Xiaodong picked up Guoguo, "Brother is thinking about you. Brother came here just as you opened your business. Don't worry, brother will stay with you in your mansion tonight. We are still a family." "That's right, go into the house." "Brother Dong, Guoguo misses you so much. "The little kid leaned his head on Xiaodong's chest and acted coquettishly. Xiaodong's heart melted and he became soft and sticky. Chai Zhen hurried in, carrying a large plate of apples and put it on the table. Ye Heng stood up and said to his second uncle, "This is Duke Lu, Xiaodong's grandfather, and this is the Duke's wife, Xiaodong's grandmother." Chai Zhen knelt down, "Greetings, sir." Duke Lu quickly helped him up without letting him kneel down, and said, "You are our family's great benefactor." Then they stood up to greet him, "Please accept our greetings." Duke Lu and his wife and Chai Zhen saluted, "Thank you, brother, for saving our Xiaodong." Chai Zhen gave him a fake help and said, "You're welcome, it was just a coincidence. I can't bear it." "Anyway, Xiaodong was taken care of by your family and sent back to us. Our Duke's Mansion will always remember this kindness." "Sit down," Ye Heng said. The Duke Lu's wife said, "There are a lot of people in front of the door. It looks like business is good." "We would like to offer congratulations as well," the coachman brought something over with both hands and handed it to the lady, Madam Duke. She took out the red silk cloth, revealing a golden treasure bowl, and said, "This is for Guoguo." Ye Heng took it and handed it to Guoguo. Guoguo couldn't hold it, "It's so heavy!" Madam Duke laughed. How could it not be heavy if it was made of so much money? Xiaodong helped her hold it. Little Naibao touched it and said, "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma!" Guoguo climbed down from Xiaodong, walked to the lady and saluted, "Thank you, Grandma!" Madam Lu, the Duke of Lu, picked up little Naibao and said, "Call you Guoguo. Grandma has known you for a long time. When I saw you today, I felt close to her. As she spoke, she touched her sleeve and took out a bracelet for little Naibao to wear. It was just right." "It's made of jade!" It was obviously high-quality jade. "Grandma made it specially for Guoguo. This is a pair, one for you and one for Xiaodong." "Ah, brother Dong, can he wear it on his hand? "No, he's keeping it." The lady looked at Xiaodong, who also took it out and put it on Guoguo. "Isn't this a perfect pair?!" Xiaodong said. Little Milk Bag looked at Xiaodong. "Brother, you look so handsome!" The light blue brocade clothes were embroidered with cloud patterns. "Brother, you have such a great temperament!"
Duke Lu had noticed the objects on the table and the scene outside the gate. "Amazing!" Ye Heng exclaimed. "Please keep it a secret, Duke." "A treasure!" Duke Lu said. Ye Heng: "So please keep it a secret, Duke. It will be given to Xiaodong in the future." Duke Lu stroked his beard and smiled! Duke Lu stared at the screen. Suddenly, he stood up abruptly. He saw the emperor appear on the screen in casual clothes. Ye Heng saw it too. The two hurried out. Chai Zhen also looked at the screen. "Ah, this is..." "Grandpa is leaving, leaving." Xiaodong also saw it and came outside with Guoguo in his arms. The little kid shouted from a distance, "Uncle Huang, come and cheer for Guoguo!" The emperor! Xiaodong carried her into the shop in front and got off the ground. The little kid walked up to the emperor and took his hand. "Uncle Huang, Guoguo has missed you so much!" Emperor Ye Di looked at the little kid, who was no taller than his knees, smiling at him. Haha, he bent down, picked up little Guoguo, and said, "Is this the shop you bought?" The little kid nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Uncle Huang, you see, my prices are not expensive, right?" The emperor looked at the price of white flour at ten cents per pound, rice at twenty cents per pound, and yellow flour at eight cents per pound. "Not bad. Guoguo, uncle wants to ask you, do you have any corn seeds left? If you have, please sell them, okay?" "Uncle Huang, yes, we can still plant them now, and we can harvest another crop in the fall. We'll sell them soon." The emperor held the little kid next to him and watched. Duke Lu Ye Heng stood aside. Chai Zhen heard what the emperor said and asked someone to go home. Of course, he went to Guoguo's house to take the corn seeds. A quarter of an hour later, a carriage arrived. They parked outside the shop's main entrance, to the right. Chai Zhen went back to the backyard and brought a scale, then started selling right outside. Xiao Jing brought a table and a stool and called out, "Everyone, come and take a look! We have high-yield corn seeds here. One mu of land can yield over a thousand kilograms of grain." "Uncle, how much are they?" Chai Zhen replied. "Just like at home, eight wen per kilogram." "Eight wen per kilogram, you won't get hurt, you won't get cheated. Come buy!" This is the only one cartload left today, and once it's sold, it's gone. This is grain seed, five kilograms per mu of land, enough for planting. Those who have land, come buy! Is it a limited sale? The maximum purchase is fifty kilograms. Come buy now! Bring your bags. If you don't have bags, they're still five wen each. Xiao Li is ready. Chai Zhen weighs the grain...
Little Milkbag couldn't sit still anymore and said, "Uncle Huang, Guoguo has to go to work!" The emperor thought of the way Guoguo had collected money when she bought watermelon in front of his imperial study. "Hahahaha, you kid..." He put Guoguo down and took her outside. Little Milkbag went to help Great Grandfather pick up the bag while he collected the money. He shouted, "These are high-yield grain seeds. I hope everyone will buy some and plant them. They can still be harvested now. Fifty catties per family, maximum. Don't buy more! Come and buy!" Chai Zhen weighed out ten catties and said, "Eighty wen." Little Milkbag said, "Okay." "Whoever wants to buy, come and pay me," Guoguo shouted. Another fifty catties was collected for four hundred wen. "Great Grandfather weighs fifty catties." "Line up, one by one. If you can't buy today, there's tomorrow." Another twenty-five catties was collected for two hundred wen. "Great Grandfather weighs twenty-five catties." Little Milkbag calmly collected the money while Chai Zhen weighed the grain seeds. The crowd was huge. Those who didn't have a bag bought one for five cents, and those who lived nearby ran back to get a bag. There was a long queue. The emperor stood by with a smile on his face. Ye Heng came over and said, "Royal brother, at this rate, the people will be able to eat their fill in the next two or three years, and there will even be some left over." At this time, a pair of carriages came on the street, "Heh..." the emperor said sarcastically. Ye Heng said, "Royal brother, follow me." They walked into the backyard and came to the study. Duke Lu stepped forward and saluted, "No thanks. Sit down." Butler Ye served tea, snacks, and watermelon. The emperor also saw the screen on the table. Ye Heng said, "This is, Guoguo's, what's it called a computer? You can see outside." The emperor stared at the screen and looked outside. ... Well, that's right there
The shop was bustling with activity. People were buying food, vegetables, and fruit. Yingchun and Xiahua were constantly weighing and collecting money! The two sisters smiled as they weighed and collected money. Jiaxing also helped collect. As each person left, they would say, "Welcome back."
The apples and pears were sold out. Someone came to report, and Jiaxing went to find Guoguo. Little Milk Bag, hearing his uncle say they were sold out, said, "Let's go to the warehouse and get them. Grandpa Guoguo will be back soon to pick up the goods. You keep the money." "Okay, go ahead." Jiaxing, carrying the money bag in one hand and Guoguo in the other, went to the backyard. Inside the warehouse, Little Milk Bag came down. Jiaxing gave the money bag to Guoguo, who put it away. With a wave of his hand, he released five boxes of apples and five boxes of pears. "I won't sell them today. We don't have many apples left." Jiaxing moved them to the front shelf. Little Milk Bag also brought out a lot of rice, flour, and soybeans. The warehouse was almost full. Carrots and white radishes.
The major families and officials were well-informed and arranged for their families to come and show their support. There were huge crowds of people.
Besides, the emperor would not leave. "Xiaodong, come and sit here with daddy." Xiaodong sat down without saying a word. Oh, a slight sigh. "Xiaodong, are you used to being at grandma's house?" Xiaodong looked at him and said, "I'm used to it. Mom is good, grandpa is good, grandma is good." The emperor felt so uncomfortable. His own son!! "Are you going back to Taohua Village?" Xiaodong: "Yes, that's my home, and grandma is waiting for me at home. Grandpa is very good to me." Xiaodong lowered his head. He wanted to say, I need daddy too. I want to have a home. I want a home where daddy loves me and mommy takes care of me. But he didn't have it. Xiaodong shed tears. Lady Lu Guogong looked at the child and wiped her tears silently. The emperor hugged his son and wanted to say, "Come back to the palace with daddy!" But he couldn't say it. He touched his son's head and whispered in Xiaodong's ear, "I have many princes. But daddy, you are my only son. Daddy loves you! "Little Milk Bag saw this scene as soon as he walked in, and thought to himself, who told you to have so many women? You deserve it." "Brother Dong, look, Guoguo brought you something delicious. This is a red carrot, known as the best ginseng." Little Milk Bag handed it to Brother Dong. The Emperor: "Little Mazi, give my gift to Miss Guoguo." The chief steward held a large plate and handed it to Little Guoguo. This is the Emperor coming to congratulate you on the opening of your shop. Little Milk Bag opened it, "Jade cabbage!! So beautiful!" "Brother Ye, please help Guoguo take it to the front of the shop and put it in a conspicuous place." "The cash register is the best place." "Put it there. Put it higher." "Okay." The Emperor stared at the screen, watching Ye Heng put it at the cash register, it was very conspicuous. "Guoguo, aren't you afraid of being stolen?" "No, this computer has a video recorder, they will see it." "Uncle Huang, look, Little Milk Bag tapped the computer keys one by one, and a video was played back." "Amazing! "Little Milk Bag said, "As long as this is turned on, it can record. You can play it back at any time." "This thing is good and very useful." Uncle Huang, Guoguo only has this one. When there is a chance to have another one, give it to Uncle Huang." "Okay, okay." The emperor was waiting for this sentence. Little Milk Bag thought to himself, I won't give it to you even if I have it, I will give it to Brother Dong. Little Milk Bag hugged Xiaodong, "Brother Dong!" Xiaodong looked at her, why did he still feel wronged. "Brother, hold me! Brother, hold me." These two are better than real siblings. "Brother, go out, I'll go collect the money." "Okay, brother will go with you." Xiaodong bowed and took his leave. He took Guoguo out. Duke Lu also said goodbye and went home. Ye Heng looked at the emperor and said, "It's time for your emperor to go back. I will take care of Xiaodong. Don't worry." The emperor had no choice but to do this. Ye Heng sent him out, and Butler Ma followed the emperor. There was a sedan chair in the distance.
Huo Hua looked after the various families, while Ye Renwen provided guidance. The watermelons were sold out. Each watermelon cost one ounce of silver.
It was dark, and there were still many people around. Little Milk Bag said to Chai Zhen, "Grandpa, let's stop here for today. Everyone's been busy all day and must be tired." From now on, we'll work in two shifts. "Brother Ye, write a sign with the business hours and post it at the door. Open at 1:00 a.m. and close at 1:00 p.m.
Everyone worked together to collect the things outside the door and went to the backyard. The carriage was parked at the gate. Someone was watching. The gate was closed and locked. After everyone inside had weighed their money and collected the money, they opened the door, let everyone go, and closed it again, putting the bar behind them. Yingchun and Xiahua were busy counting the money. Xiao Naibao and Chai Zhen came to help, and Ye Heng and Xiaodong also came to count. "So much," especially the bodyguards, who had never seen so much silver. "The big families bought more fruit, and they accepted it in ten taels of silver. There are also silver notes." Xiao Naibao took the silver notes. The silver notes alone amounted to 100,000 taels. Ye Heng helped her count, "120,000 taels of silver notes!" "Wow, we're rich!" Xiao Naibao shouted. Ye Heng asked the butler to go to the restaurant to order food. Ye Heng gave the silver notes to Xiao Naibao and put them away. "Don't worry, Brother Ye," Xiao Naibao said excitedly. Ye Heng picked up Little Guoguo and returned to the study. Little Guoguo put away the banknotes and took out the silver they had collected today, five bags of silver. The two of them counted them out. "Put the ten-liang pieces in one bag, and put the small change together." They sat on the floor, and Brother Ye started by filling in the ten-liang ingots. "Ahhh, we've made a fortune!" Little Guoguo exclaimed happily. They counted and counted! "Brother Ye, count how much there is!" Jiaxing brought over several bags and said, "These are all ten-liang ingots. They said this is five thousand taels of silver."
Ye Heng and his friend finally counted it out. "Our thirty thousand taels, plus Jia Xing's five thousand, total thirty-five thousand taels. Add the banknotes, and that's a hundred and fifty-five thousand taels. Guoguo, keep it." Little Milk Bag waved his hand and stored it all in his computer. "Done." "Brother Ye, go to the shop up front." Little Milk Bag took out the copper coins he'd collected today, and Ye Heng took them up. He tossed them into the shop, "Let's count them." Ahhhh...there's still so much. There's even small change and copper coins. "Count them separately." Little Milk Bag checked the shop. The noodles were running low; they were almost sold out. The fruits and vegetables were gone, too.
Little Milk Bag took a look and said, "Brother Ye, we have to plant vegetables quickly, otherwise the supply will be insufficient." Ye Heng: "Give an order tomorrow to plant vegetables, soybeans and other things in all my farms! Steward?" Ye Renwen: "Master, you give the order." "Tomorrow you gather all the stewards of the farms to come to the palace for a meeting." "Yes, master, I will go and inform them right away." Ye Renwen immediately sent people on horseback to notify each farm.
Guoguo, you need to prepare the vegetable seeds. "That's easy, Brother Ye."
Yingchun reported, "Miss, the money has been counted. Here are 9,800 taels of silver and 9,152 copper coins." "Put them together. Go and clean up the shop. Sweep it clean and tidy."
Ye Heng brought the money to the study, and Little Milk Bag put it away. He kept over nine thousand copper coins for change tomorrow. "Brother Ye, we need to find a few more people who can read and write." "Sister Yingchun and Sister Xiahua are too tired." Ye Heng: "Okay, I'll find them for you tomorrow." Little Milk Bag took out a bag of silver ingots, each weighing ten taels, and said, "Give them as rewards to everyone, one ingot per person." "Okay." Ye Heng asked the housekeeper to distribute them. After a while, the remaining money was brought back, "It's all distributed, this is the leftover." Little Milk Bag: "Has the big brother who drives the carriage distributed it?" Seeing this, he said, "Go, everyone will get one ingot." "Okay, master."
Soon the housekeeper came back and distributed all the money except Xiao Shunzi, who was outside. "You leave one ingot and give it to him when the door opens." Xiao Naibao put the remaining money away.
"Everyone, change into your own clothes and go eat." Everyone happily headed out, some in carriages and some on foot. It wasn't far. Chai Zhen, Little Milk Bag, Xiaodong Yeheng rode in a carriage, Xiao Shunzi drove one, and the housekeeper drove another. In the carriage, Yeheng said, "The big families bought a lot today, so there might be less tomorrow." Little Milk Bag: "Brother Ye, it's okay. We'll take our time, there's still a lot more to come."
