After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

"Sister Qingqing, Brother Zhou, we earned 5,121 coins from selling the game today. This is the first time I've made so much money!" Changshun excitedly took out a heavy cloth bag and handed it to Li Qingqing.

"So many?" Li Qingqing was a little surprised. If she were to sell them herself, she estimated that she could only sell these prey for more than 3,000 coins today.

"Sister Qingqing, today is the market day in the next town. Shitou and I discussed it and went to the next town. We sold our prey there, so we came back a little late." Changshun said excitedly.

Li Qingqing took the copper coins, smiled and divided out the copper coins that belonged to Changshun, handed them to Changshun, and praised him, "You are really capable! Here, this is the share we agreed on before, you take it."

"Thank you, Sister Qingqing. When Shitou comes later, I will split the money in half with him." Changshun happily took the silver, his heart full of gratitude.

"Oh, why did you decide this?" Li Qingqing was a little curious.

"Sister Qingqing, Shitou and I each have our own advantages. If we work together, we can sell the prey faster and better, so I decided to split it with him." Changshun explained with a bright smile on the young man's face.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingqing's eyes flashed with admiration: "Changshun, you are quite good. You can actually think of a win-win cooperation. I am very confident in handing this business over to you two."

The first trial sale was so successful, so from now on it will be just like Changshun’s name, meaning “smooth and smooth”.

Changshun's eyes lit up. Does this mean he approves of him and Shitou?

Changshun said excitedly, "Sister Qingqing, Brother Zhou, don't worry. Shitou and I have already made an agreement. Shitou will be primarily responsible for driving the cart, and I'll be responsible for selling the game. We've already found out about market days in some nearby towns. Market days are usually crowded, so we can go directly to the markets there to sell our game."

Li Qingqing nodded and smiled, "That's a good idea. Besides going to the market everywhere, you can also consider other sales channels, such as restaurants and inns, and establish long-term cooperative relationships with them."

Changshun became even more excited when he heard this: "Sister Qingqing, your idea is really great. If we can establish long-term cooperation with places like restaurants, we will have a more stable income!"

Changshun paused, then asked worriedly, "Sister Qingqing, if the sales are good, we might not have enough prey to sell. What should we do?"

Changshun thought that hunting was both hard and dangerous, and it was impossible for the prey to be right in front of him and be picked up directly. If there was no prey to sell, he and Shitou would be out of work in the future.

Zhou Yimo thought of the many prey in Li Qingqing's space, as well as the prey caught in the traps from time to time every day, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry about that. Your sister Qingqing is now good at hunting."

Li Qingqing also smiled and said, "Changshun, work hard. If we run out of prey in the future, we'll give the other goods to you and Shitou to sell as well."

Changshun was filled with gratitude when he heard this: "Thank you, Sister Qingqing. Shitou and I will definitely do our best!"

Seeing Changshun's joy, Li Qingqing added, "Changshun, don't go to places like restaurants and inns in Qiushui Town to sell your goods. Only go to the market on market days."

Worried that Changshun might not understand, Li Qingqing further explained, "I have an exclusive partnership with the Zuiyuexuan Restaurant in Qiushui Town. I specifically supply them with prey. Well, how should I put it? This is equivalent to a local regional protection strategy."

Li Qingqing can now be considered a small shareholder of Zuiyuexuan. If she also provides prey to other restaurants in Qiushui Town, Zuiyuexuan will have no obvious advantage in the diversity of dishes, and some of its customers will be lost to other restaurants, which will directly affect her monthly share.

Changshun was a little confused. He didn't quite understand what regional protection meant, but he didn't dare to ask.

Zhou Yimo didn't really understand the meaning of these words, but after thinking about the context, he roughly understood their meaning and explained:

"Just like there are a hundred people in Qiushui Town, and your sister Qingqing gives her prey to you and Shitou to sell, then all of these hundred people come to you to buy. If she also gives her prey to others to sell, then maybe only fifty people will buy from you, while the other fifty will buy from others. Since you and Shitou are our family, we'll just let you two sell it, and we won't look for anyone else."

Chang Shun suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly, "Brother Zhou, I understand. Zuiyuexuan Restaurant bought out the supplier and asked Sister Qingqing to supply only to their restaurant. This way, other restaurants won't have these dishes. If customers want to eat these dishes, they will continue to come to Zuiyuexuan Restaurant, right?"

Seeing Li Qingqing nod, Changshun asked again, "If there are restaurants in other towns that want to buy out the supply source, can I raise the price of the prey a little more?"

Li Qingqing smiled. Not bad, the young man is very smart. He is thinking of going to other towns to occupy the market so quickly.

"For some hard-to-get prey, you can naturally raise the selling price. For some common prey, if your selling price is too high, they will buy it from others. Therefore, you can reach an agreement with the restaurant to specify the type of prey they want to buy exclusively."

Seeing Changshun nodding repeatedly, Zhou An asked, "Changshun, can you write?"

Changshun scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "My father studied it for a while when he was at home, but he stopped studying after that."

"It's okay. Let's put it this way. Your brother Zhou and I will be teaching kung fu and reading to the children in the village in two days. You and Shitou can come and learn together." Li Qingqing suggested.

"Sister Qingqing, can I learn kung fu?" Shitou came back with a big basket of green grass. He just heard Li Qingqing's words and asked excitedly.

"Of course you can." Li Qingqing smiled.

"Sister Qingqing, I don't want to learn kung fu. Can I just learn to read?" Changshun asked a little embarrassedly. "I like doing business and want to learn more knowledge."

"Sister Qingqing, I, I'm only interested in learning Kung Fu." Shi Tou was also a little embarrassed.

Li Qingqing: Wow, this is a serious imbalance in one subject!

Li Qingqing thought for a moment and suggested:

"Let's put it this way, Shitou, Changshun, I'll take the kids to practice early in the morning. If you want to learn Kung Fu, just follow me. After the morning practice, you won't be late for selling your game every day.

When I come back from selling the game this afternoon, if I catch up with Big Brother's reading class, you can learn along if you want to. If not, you can help with other things. What do you think?"

Changshun and Shitou nodded in unison and said gratefully, "Sister Qingqing, Brother Zhou, you've been so kind to us. I don't know how to thank you enough!"

"Then do your best to serve your sister Qingqing." Zhou Yimo said with a smile.

After dinner, Zhou Yimo finally got his wish and followed Li Qingqing to dig out the beehive.
