Chapter 49 Change of supply method

Seeing Tao Hong's worried expression, Shen Xia said, "Things are valuable because they are rare. If there are too many, they can't be sold at a high price, so less is a good thing."

Taohong thought it made sense. This thing was now the first choice for gifts among nobles in the city because it was delicious and expensive.

"Xia Xia, from now on we will call each other sisters. I am eighteen years old this year, and I seem to be older than you. So you can call me Sister Yao Hong, and I will call you Xia Xia." Tao Hong said kindly.

"Okay, Sister Taohong."

"Xia Xia, wait here, I'll go in and get your things."

After saying that, Taohong went in.

Then he came out with a banknote in his hand: "This is the payment from last time, one hundred and twenty taels."

"It's too much. Shouldn't it be one hundred and eighteen taels and five?" Shen Xia asked.

"The boss said that I'll pay you one hundred and twenty taels, but the way of cooperation needs to be changed." Taohong said with a smile.

"Weren't there two ways of cooperation before? The boss plans to change to payment first and then delivery." After saying this, Taohong looked at Shen Xia's expression, fearing that Xia Xia would be unhappy.

Shen Xia smiled and said, "No problem, that method is the same to me."

The woman behind him looked at the 120 taels of silver in front of her and felt that she had made the right choice.

"That's good, that's good. I was just afraid you'd be angry!"

"No. Then I'll hurry back and finish it today, and deliver it to you early tomorrow morning." Shen Xia said.

"Okay, okay," Pink smiled.

"Well, let's not talk any more, let's go back."

Shen Xia took a few people away.

Taohong looked at the departing figure and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, how come sister Xia Xia is so smart!

The woman watched the few people leave and walked up from behind: "Cousin, the business in this store is pretty good. How about I not come back and just help you in the store?" The woman said happily.

I thought that as long as both parties were cooperating, they would come often. I thought about it and although the second brother seemed easier to control and more honest, I still chose the eldest brother. This way, after I got married, I would be the eldest sister-in-law.

Then you will be the one who manages the family.

Thinking about it now, I can’t stop getting excited!

What a way to approach him!

You still have to stay in the store.

"No, the business in this town is average, so we don't need so many people. Liu Qin, I just need to find someone these two days, so I asked you to help me look after the store temporarily." Tao Hong refused.

When the woman named Liu Qin heard that she was rejected, she felt extremely upset.

But how could I miss such a good marriage like this!

Definitely not. Opportunities have to be earned by yourself.

I silently despised my cousin in my heart. She was the one who married into the town, so she was afraid that I would marry someone better than her.

Humph, I just don’t do what you want. I want to marry someone better than you.

"Okay, I understand. The store doesn't belong to my cousin, and she can't make the decision. So I won't make it difficult for you."

"But if you see a suitable job in town, could you introduce it to me?"

"Seeing that you have a job in town, I'm really envious." Liu Qin looked envious and pitiful.

"That's no problem. I'll keep an eye on it for you." Then she took out a hundred copper coins from the drawer and said, "Here, take it. This hundred coins is for your wages for watching the store for the next two days."

Taohong herself earned one or two taels of silver a month, which was equivalent to about thirty wen a day, which was considered a high income for a worker in the town.

So giving Liu Qin a hundred coins in two days was really generous.

But Liu Qin had just met Shen Xia, and he didn't think much of the 100 wen when he had the 120 taels of silver. However, he didn't show it on his face. He just thanked his sister before leaving.

Taohong looked at Liu Qin leaving and felt very happy. The shopkeeper had done what he asked her to do.

After leaving Tianxinzhai, Shen Xia and the others went to the bookstore to buy some rice paper for packaging.

It was the same waiter: "Young lady, are you here to buy paper again?"

"Yes," Shen Xia replied.

"Do you still want the same as last time?" the waiter continued to ask.

"Yes, but I'll buy two more this time."

"Okay." After saying that, the waiter went to get the paper.

Then I thought that Song Yun at home was well now, and he would definitely continue to study in the future, and I would need it sometimes, so I bought another stack of writing paper.

The rice paper used for writing is a bit more expensive. Wrapping paper only costs one tael of silver per piece, but this rice paper costs two taels of silver per piece.

"Sister, why should I buy so much rice paper?" Xiaowu asked.

"Sister, I told you! When I can earn money, I will send you to school." Shen Xia said.

"Ah! I don't want to go to school," Xiaowu refused.

"You have to go, because your sister will need your help in the future. You can only help your sister if you can read and write." Shen Xia explained to him.

"Okay, but I don't miss my sister. It's so tiring and studying is so expensive." Xiaowu muttered.

Shen Xia patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you see my brothers have learned it now. Let them do the work, I won't do it."

"That's more like it,"

Then Shen Xia looked at Xiaotian, and said with a firm and warm look in her eyes: "When Xiaowu goes to school, you should go with him, Xiaotian." These words were like a thunder, exploding in Xiaotian's ears.

He widened his eyes and looked at Shen Xia in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

It was already a great blessing for Sister Xia Xia to take him in, and now she even wants to support his studies!

This kindness is as heavy as Mount Tai, and I am afraid I will never be able to repay it in this lifetime.

A deep feeling of gratitude welled up in Xiaotian's heart and tears welled up in his eyes.

He knew that this was an opportunity to change his destiny, a dream he had never dared to hope for was about to come true.

"So what my sister said, that as long as people have experienced enough hard times in their lives, they will be lucky from now on, turns out to be true." Xiaotian looked at Shen Xia and said.

"Hmm..." Shen Xia looked at Xiaotian's slightly red eyes, and a ripple appeared in her heart.

After a moment of silence,

Shen Xia selected some pens, ink, paper and inkstone for the two of them.

Since they were just beginners, they did not choose products that were too expensive or too good. But even so, the three brushes, two inkstones, three ink blocks and the paper they had just ordered cost a full twenty taels of silver.

"Oh, this money is really hard to spend! It seems we have to work harder to make money."

"Let's repair the house first. Fortunately, there is a batch of goods to be delivered tomorrow, and the payment is made before the delivery. This way we can save more money. Otherwise, the budget for repairing the house may have to be saved a little more." Shen Xia muttered to himself as he watched twenty taels go out in an instant.

The waiter packed the items and was very enthusiastic. This was a big order!

"Next time, little lady, if you need anything, come back! We have everything in our store."

"Ok."

Song Ming and Song Jiang found the enthusiastic waiter annoying.

After leaving the bookstore, they went to the grain store.

Whenever I thought about going to the grain store, I remembered the familiar smiling face of the boss. He looked so blessed.
