Chapter 368 You are miserable
"Manager Xu."
Zheng Liwei walked out with the account book and handed it to Xu Wenyan.
"How is the store lately?" Xu Wenyan asked as he opened the account book.
"We are renovating these days, so business is not very good. But I discussed the matter with Manager Jia about the Zhang family tobacco shop.
The business of Qing'an Pavilion has not been good these days."
Xu Wenyan nodded and looked at the account in his hand. It was considered a benefit of the newly opened store. Even though the business was not very good in the past two days, he still made nearly two hundred taels of silver so far.
Zheng Liwei remembers every expense clearly.
"Well, there may be new products on the market in the next few days." But there are no more festivals after the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it is not easy for Xu Wenyan to organize activities.
Forget it, aren’t there activities every time new products are released?
"Brother Chen, let's go over to the other side." I haven't seen Jia Anqing for a while, and I miss that guy a little.
As soon as the two walked to the door, they saw Jia Anqing pulling Kong Zhao to introduce the precautions of the store.
"Xiao Jia."
"Brother! You are finally here. Let me tell you a lot of things that happened in the past few days!"
Xu Wenyan looked at Kong Zhao and asked, "Did you really kidnap that handsome guy?"
"How can you call me kidnapper? I saved Kong Zhao! Brother, you don't know..."
Jia Anqing roughly told Xu Wenyan what had happened in the past few days, and when he talked about the two of them hiding in the backpack.
My mind flashed back to what happened at that time, and I couldn't help but get nervous.
Xu Wenyan bumped him with his shoulder: "Tell me, kid, what happened back there? Were you beaten?"
"No...no." Jia Anqing said shyly, "Brother, I have something to tell you."
"Just tell me, I'll help you fight back." Xu Wenyan waved his hand and rolled up his sleeves.
"No."
"Then tell me."
Jia Anqing looked at Chen Sanlin who was sitting next to Xu Wenyan, and decisively stood up and pulled Xu Wenyan upstairs. He said that this matter could be told to Xu Wenyan, but no one else could hear it.
After pushing Xu Wenyan into the house, Jia Anqing stuck his head out to make sure no one was following him, then he sat down next to Xu Wenyan.
"Brother, I feel like there's something strange about me and Kong Zhao getting along."
"What's weird?"
"that is......"
Jia Anqing told Xu Wenyan in detail what had happened between the two of them in the backpack.
After hearing this, Xu Wenyan still had something to understand: "So what do you think of him?"
"He...he is very good, a nice person. At least I don't feel uncomfortable being with him." Jia Anqing said as he touched his head.
Seeing him like this, Xu Wenyan shook his head helplessly: "You are in trouble."
"Ah?" Jia Anqing was stunned: "Brother, why am I so miserable?"
It’s okay, you are just in love. Xu Wenyan doesn’t want to interfere with them too much. Things will happen if they are destined to.
Xu Wenyan patted his shoulder: "It's nothing, you will understand it later."
Judging from their looks alone, Xu Wenyan thinks they are a good match. As for Kong Zhao, Xu Wenyan will also keep an eye on him for Jia Anqing.
After the two went downstairs, they chatted for a while, and Xu Wenyan stood up and prepared to leave.
The harvest of Qing'an Hall this month is nearly one hundred taels. Counting the more than one hundred taels at home, there are now nearly five hundred taels in total at home.
If this is the case, I should be able to buy the store in two months.
Manager Liu will be back in two months, and by then the potato flour piled up in the factory will be enough to sell.
It was a rare trip to the county, so Xu Wenyan planned to buy some cloth. The amount he brought for Zhan Laowu and the others was too little, after all, there were more than fifty people.
It can be said that the more than fifty people in the shelter are Xu Wenyan’s free labor.
At least food, clothing, housing and transportation must be properly arranged.
"Brother Chen, what color do you like?"
Chen Sanlin looked at Xu Wenyan, who was wearing brown and black clothes today.
"Just wear this color."
"I want to buy two crimson robes. If you don't like them, I'll change them for brown and black ones."
Chen Sanlin pulled Xu Wenyan towards him. There were still quite a lot of people on the street.
"No, I'll just be like you."
"Okay, I'll spoil you after all." Xu Wenyan put his arm around Chen Sanlin's waist and pulled him towards him with a wicked smile.
"Ahem, wife..."
While chatting and laughing, the two of them had already arrived at the cloth spinning shop.
Because Xu Wenyan's skin color is so recognizable, and he has been here twice, the owner of the textile spinning shop has completely remembered him.
"Hey, Brother Xu, are you buying clothes or fabrics?"
"If the boss gives me a big discount, then I will buy them all."
The textile boss smiled and said, "Then I must give Brother Xu the biggest discount. Come and see, these are our latest new styles."
Looking at the red clothes on the shelves, there was not a single one that Xu Wenyan wanted. He really wanted to wear a horse-faced skirt, but it was not available in Fengxian County.
Xu Wenyan specifically asked about it and was told that one had to go to the state to buy it, and that the horse-faced skirt was not cheap and had to be custom-made.
In fact, most clothes in ancient times had to be custom-made. Since there was no concept of zippers, making clothes was extremely complicated.
This is also why most poor people have no clothes to wear.
The worst thing Xu Wenyan had ever seen was a family with only one set of clothes. The people in the family took turns wearing them when they went out to work, and those who stayed at home wore clothes woven from thatched straw.
It can barely cover up the shame.
"How much is that red muslin?"
The shopkeeper looked in the direction of Xu Wenyan's hand and said, "This color is mostly used by generals in the army to make armor, and it is rarely used in normal times. We only have this one in our store.
Brother Xu, please try other colors. This color will probably make you look old."
"It's okay. I quite like this red."
Soldiers use this dark red color as the lining of their armor because the blood will remain the same color after it dries. They are often on the front lines and have little chance to clean their armor.
So this color will be more resistant to stains.
Xu Wenyan then picked out two more blue-black ones. This kind of blue-black has more black in it, and you can't see the blue unless you look closely.
As for the rest, Xu Wenyan directly bought twenty pieces of black coarse cloth, which was more than enough.
Seeing Xu Wenyan buy so much, the shopkeeper naturally smiled happily: "Hey, Brother Xu, I have a carriage in my shop, I will help you deliver it."
Xu Wenyan nodded: "Well, just send it to Sanyan Drinks."
The more Xu Wenyan read the name of this store, the more he found it strange. He was thinking about changing it to a more elegant name someday, but his naming was really bad and he didn't know what to change it to.
As the two were about to leave the store, they met Wei Nanchun and Wang Yingying.
"Hey, it's Manager Xu, right?" Wang Yingying pulled Wei Nanchun who was about to enter the door and smiled at Xu Wenyan.
The little girl smiled sweetly, and Xu Wenyan recognized her at a glance: "Oh, you are Miss Wang."
"Ah."
"Hello, Manager Xu." Wei Nanchun also nodded to Xu Wenyan.
"Miss Wei."
Xu Wenyan had also met the two of them at Zhang's house, and Zhang Chengjin had introduced them to Xu Wenyan.
They are all daughters of generals, and the Zhang family is very willing to make friends with them.
At this time, Wang Yingying secretly tugged at the corner of Wei Nanchun's clothes.
"Oh, that Shopkeeper Xu, our old lady in the Wei Mansion will be celebrating her 60th birthday in two days. I wonder if Shopkeeper Xu can find time to come to my humble abode for a gathering."
Xu Wenyan cupped his hands and said, "Of course, it's my honor to be able to visit your house."
After making the agreement, the two girls said goodbye to Xu Wenyan.
Before Chen Sanlin could speak, Xu Wenyan quickly explained: "I met Zhang Chengjin and Jia once. They also like to eat in our restaurant, so we got to know each other."
Chen Sanlin nodded: "Okay,
Recently Xu Wenyan always predicts Chen Sanlin's actions.
This made Chen Sanlin feel aggrieved but not completely aggrieved.
