Chapter 92

It was late autumn, the fire was falling and the wind was high, there was a sudden heavy rain, the weather turned colder, the reputation of Tianxiangtang became better and better, and the business was getting better and better. It was already Qin Kuai and Han Qiao, and they were a little busy But not to the point.

Those peddlers who get spices from Bai Xin are used to the sweetness. They used to get goods from other houses, and their daily earnings could barely support the whole family. In this way, earning hundreds of Wen, now Qian Dalang, who is raising a family of eight or nine, can go out to have a few glasses of wine occasionally, how can they be unhappy?Each of them cherished the signboard of Tianxiangtang as if cherishing their own feathers, and did not dare to do anything to smash the signboard, lest Bai Xin would find out and stop supplying them.

Seeing that they had made money, these people introduced their relatives and friends here one after another. The location of Baixin's shop happened to be at the junction of the east and south of the city. Nowadays, there are vendors from Tianxiangtang on every street in these two areas, like a spider casting a web.

On this day, Qian Dalang came with a boy and a half, who looked about the same as him. When they saw Bai Xin, the two of them hurriedly crossed their hands and greeted him. Qian Dalang introduced, "Master Bai, this is my brother." .”

Bai Xin also guessed the purpose of the two of them and nodded.

Qian Dalang laughed foolishly, and said, "Master Bai, I want my younger brother to also get goods from you and sell them outside."

Bai Xin looked him up and down.

Qian Dalang was afraid that Bai Xin would think his younger brother was too young, so before he could answer, he hurriedly said, "My younger brother may be eloquent. He has a sweet mouth, so he will definitely gain a better reputation."

The younger brother of Qian Dalang was also busy to say good things, and said that he was worried that his brother would only get goods from one family and would not be able to make money, so he bought some cakes from the neighbor's bakery and sold them from another family. Carry some pickles or sausages, sell them along the street, and earn only a few tens of pennies a day, making a difficult living. Later, seeing that his brother made money, he was convinced.

Bai Xin saw that he could speak, his eyes were flexible, and he looked like a clever kid. He said in embarrassment: "It's not that I'm worried about his young age, it's just that there are more than twenty peddlers who buy goods from me, and they are scattered in the east of the city. , various streets in the south of the city, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a good location, and I don't want any disputes between you to make everyone unhappy."

Bai Xin thinks long-term. If there are more peddlers who only want to sell goods blindly, there will definitely be malicious competition in the future, or lower prices, or shoddy, and this will only ruin the name of Tianxiangtang.

Qian Dalang has been dealing with Bai Xin for some time, knowing his temper and cherishing the reputation of the signboard, he quickly nodded and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I also know what you mean, shopkeeper Bai, but I want my brother to go to Xiwazi, Zhou selling everywhere."

Bai Xin had a vague impression of this name, but couldn't remember it for a while, and recalled it with a frown.

Seeing this, Qian Erlang hurriedly reminded: "Zhou Xiwazi is within Wansheng Gate."

Bai Xin suddenly remembered that when he was looking for his eldest sister, he went through the Wansheng Gate, and after leaving the Wansheng Gate, he was considered to have left the capital.

"So far?" Bai Xin asked in surprise.

The brothers of the Qian family lived in Zhuquemen. If they wanted to go to Xiwazi, Zhou, they would have to talk for at least two hours. The two of them showed a wry smile at the same time. Da Lang said, "This is also to support the family. We brothers thought it would be easy to sell."

Seeing that there was no conflict with the other shopkeepers, Bai Xin nodded immediately, and the two left happily.

Because the brothers of the Qian family live in Zhuquemen, they don't come to Baixin's shop to pick up goods every day, but Zhang Dalang picks up a lot at one go, and helps other people pick them up. Those who are close to Zhang Dalang's house, Just go to his stall to get them.

Bai Xin was a true businessman, he would not let it go when he saw an opportunity to make more money, so he paid attention to the Qian family brothers, and occasionally asked Zhang Dalang for a word or two.

Looking at Zhang Dalang at this time, he is very different from before. He is neatly dressed, his hair is combed perfectly, and he smiles when he meets everyone, "Master Bai, you ask the two brothers of the Qian family? They sell well, especially the money. Erlang, although it is far away, but after all, he went to Xiwazi, Zhou. People come and go, and most of them are geisha girls, and the powder is more expensive. However, his family has a large population and life is difficult. The distance alone takes four hours to go back and forth, and I really don’t know what to do in winter.”

Bai Xin sighed after hearing this, thinking it was really hard work.

Each of the peddlers who get goods from Bai Xin sells [-] to [-] pieces a day. Those who are good, such as Zhang Dalang and Li Erlang, who are next to the facade of Wasi, can sell them in a day. Forty or fifty things, although Bai Xin's profits are thin, he can earn about [-] yuan for one item, and he can earn three to four hundred yuan for one peddler, and more than [-] peddlers. The net profit of sixteen or seven taels of silver, calculated, is not less than the profit of the shop.

Bai Xin then discussed with his mother: "Mother, I intend to rent a place near Wanshengmen, recruit some shopkeepers, and continue to sell there."

Cao couldn't figure out these things, and she didn't even know how much money she could make by relying on these peddlers alone. "The rent in the capital city is not cheap, relying on those peddlers, can you earn enough money to rent a place?"

Bai Xin nodded, "Of course I can make money. That place is not as lively as ours, and the rent is cheaper. It's not renting a shop along the street, but renting a few rooms as workshops."

Hearing what he said, Mrs. Cao felt relieved, thinking that even if she earned a few hundred extra a month, it would still be money, "You can do whatever you want."

After she finished speaking, she thought about it suddenly, and asked again: "It's just that you rented a place, who is it to watch over? Or how many people are you going to hire?"

That's why Bai Xin wanted to discuss it with her. He licked his lips and said, "Mother, I want my eldest sister and elder brother-in-law to watch over there."

Cao's eyes widened, a little reluctant, "I finally found a son-in-law who has no father and no mother. He wants to live under our noses and won't make your elder sister wronged. Why do you push him away instead?"

Bai Xin knew the mute's background, and thought he used to be such an arrogant person, how could he be willing to live in his wife's natal family all the time, traveling for two months in March, after a long time, it is inevitable that he will be depressed and depressed, and he has always been helping at his own home , there must be a feeling of being inferior to others, even if he is called Bai Xin, he doesn't want to, and he is not a son-in-law.

"Mother, my eldest brother-in-law is also a man who is willing to endure hardships. He was told to live in our house all the time. After a long time, there were some gossips outside. He is not good-looking, but it is easy to create a estrangement between husband and wife, and just ask them to move. If you go to Wansheng Gate and are still in the capital, if you miss them, you can hire a sedan chair and arrive there in half a day, or stay for a few days before returning, and you will give them all the money earned there.”

Cao's expression was a little loose, but she still asked worriedly: "If the dumb man has money, he won't go out and learn bad things, right?"

"Mom, you can't keep them under our noses just because you're worried about this, besides..." Bai Xin paused and lowered his voice, "Besides, what they sell is our Tianxiangtang stuff, and the source is still under our control. In our hands, if they live a good life and live their own lives, we can't interfere too much, and we can't treat my eldest brother-in-law as a person just because our family pays for it. Take it back, don’t provide it anymore, and he can’t do anything about it.”

Only then did Cao put her heart back into her stomach. Fortunately, she had a conservative view. She thought that her daughter should follow her husband and live in her natal family after she got married.

That night, Bai Xin told everyone about this decision. The aunt is extremely sensitive and sensitive. Although she is dumb and can't speak, the two of them can still play tricks on weekdays, and she can feel that her husband is restrained. Living on her own, the aunt was a little apprehensive, but also a little excited, and her eyes turned red immediately, she looked at Bai Xin.

Even Man Niang was a little envious when she heard this, because there is no mother-in-law to control her, her mother's family is tough, and she is really in charge of her own family.

The mute was taken aback, and then understood the other party's intentions. Although he was restrained, he couldn't help but feel a little moved at this time, his eyes flickered, like an ancient well, with ripples. He lived with relatives since he was a child , live by the face of others, longing in my heart to have my own home and no longer depend on others.

Bai Xin said: "Sister, it's not convenient for you to show your face, so you don't open a shop, just rent a place, use it as a workshop, buy a few people to help, I will recruit some shopkeepers, this is simple, in the future they will buy goods from you , You two will keep the money you earn. Although we are separated, we both live in the capital. It is not easy to meet each other? We can also know each other's movements."

He glanced at the mute meaningfully, and turned back almost without stopping.

The aunt knew that Bai Xin was doing it for his own good, so she nodded repeatedly, choked up and unable to speak.

Afterwards, it was not difficult to do it. Bai Xin found the housekeeper first, and rented a house for the two of them near Wanshengmen, because that place belongs to the outer city, even if it is adjacent to Xiwazi, the rent is not very expensive.

Then he bought three young girls through a tooth dealer. Bai Xin was on guard and picked out all the ones who were really not good looking, but he didn't give the deed of sale to the eldest sister, but held it in his own hands. For those girls, they also beat them before leaving.

Bai Xin spread the word that he wanted to set up a workshop at Wanshengmen. Within a few days, several groups of people came to him. Some were relatives and friends who were introduced by the shopkeeper before, and some also heard that Tianxiangtang’s goods were very popular. Selling his products could make money. The poor family in the village quickly found more than a dozen people, who followed the rules and followed the rules.

When the Qian family brothers heard that Bai Xin was setting up a workshop in Wanshengmen, they were worried at first whether it was setting up a stall or opening a shop, but after asking clearly, they were just providing goods for shopkeepers, so they were relieved. I found a house and moved there. This time I don't have to leave before dawn every day, and I don't have to worry about winter. The two brothers of the Qian family brought some melons and fruits to thank Bai Xin, and Bai Xin asked them to secretly Help take care of my eldest sister.

The new house was also equipped with furniture and other things, and an auspicious day was picked. The eldest sister, the mute and the three little girls moved away. When they left, the mute bowed heavily to Bai Xin. Although he was speechless, Bai Xin Xin knew that he was showing himself that he would treat the elder sister well.
