Boss, He’s Becoming a Father - Chapter 154

    The carriage stopped, and soon a servant came up to ask the price.

    “Three hundred words.” Shao Yu said.

    The third one gave him a frantic wink, but Shao Yu didn’t seem to see it.

    The servant bought the rabbit without haggling.

    After the carriage left, the third child said with a pity: “Dad, it’s rare to meet a big family, so won’t you kill it?”

    Shao Yu asked: “Why kill?”

    “This is obviously a lady from a rich family. They all don’t know about firewood, rice, oil and salt. Even if we report three or two, she may buy it. So much money, are you indifferent?” Thinking of what just happened, she only hated herself for not stopping it on the spot.

    Shao Yu said: “It is indeed possible.”

    The third listened, the pity on his face became heavier.

    Shao Yu said: “But more likely, we will face worse results.”

    The third child asked confidently: “Is there anything worse than making money?”

    Shao Yu said: “You only see that they are rich, but you don’t see that they are many. Rich people are not fools, and they are not so easy to be slaughtered.”

    “If you’re not careful, you might even offend them. Getting a beating is light.

    Shao Yu shook his head and said, “The money and goods are both in normal trading, why do you want to settle accounts with us?”

    The third said: “Then if I sell three taels of silver, will it become an abnormal transaction?”

    Shao Yu nodded and said, “In business, you may succeed by being clever once, but if you are clever this time, it will ruin your morals, and sooner or later you will encounter hard problems. It’s too late to say anything.”

    The third child likes money, which is not wrong, but her problem is that she seems to have reached the point of unscrupulousness for money.

    Seeing that the third child was still dubious at this time, Shao Yu pointed to the stall selling jewelry on the opposite side, and said, “I have been observing this stall for a long time.”

    The third one came over and said in a low voice, “I’ve been observing it for a long time.”

    Although Xiao Wu didn’t know why, he also said, “I’ve watched it for a long time.”

    Shao Yu asked, “What are you observing?”

    He motioned for Xiao Wu to speak first.

    Xiao Wu said: “His jewelry is very beautiful, I want to memorize it well, and I will tell Seventh Sister to listen to it when I go back.”

    Shao Yu nodded and looked at her third daughter.

    The third child said: “I calculated, we have been here for so long, and his stall has at least 12 taels of silver. Dad, selling jewelry is really too profitable, why don’t we think of a way. Open a stall like this.”

    Shao Yu said: “You only see him earning money, not his risks.”

    “What’s the risk? Are you making too much money?” The third child asked back.

    Shao Yu asked: “Do you know how much his jewelry cost?”

    Although the third child is not clear, he has a brain and said, “The owner of the jewelry stall smiles so much that his eyes are in a line. It is impossible that he is losing money in business.”

    Shao Yu said: “Not only does he not lose money, but the profits he earns may be very rich, even to the point of violating his conscience.”

    The third child didn’t understand, and said, “What kind of conscience can you make with money earned by your ability.”

    Shao Yu said: “The cost of a hairpin is three cents. Selling it for six cents will double the profit.”

    The third nodded and said, “This is good business.”

    Shao Yu continued: “But if it is three cents, what about thirty cents, or even three hundred cents?”

    The third child’s eyes lit up and said, “This is a fairy-like business.”

    Shao Yu whispered “little capitalist” in her heart.

    “If it is a rare commodity, this kind of price is normal, but if the same product is sold for six cents, and he buys thirty cents or three hundred cents by eloquence, what will be the result? ?” Shao Yu asked.

    The third one couldn’t tell.

    But reality soon gave her the answer.

    A group of tall men ran over from the street corner aggressively.

    Behind the men, there was a crying woman.

    “Is it you who coaxed my mother-in-law?” asked the leading man.

    “You lied to my sister/sister?” asked several other men.

    The owner of the jewelry stall naturally recognized this woman, and the woman left the stall not long after she bought a lot of jewelry from this stall, but she was also pitted by the stall owner. sharp.

    The reason why I came to settle the account at this time was because I saw the exact same jewelry in other stalls, but the price of the other party was much lower than this.

    “What deceit? I, Wang San, do business, and have never been foolish.” said the vendor.

    When Shao Yu heard the name, she couldn’t help but glance at the third daughter beside her.

    The third surname is Wang, the third in the family, which is an unexpected coincidence.

    “Other hairpins sell for six cents, but you dare to sell them for thirty cents, and you say it’s not a scam?”

    Wang San shouted: “You are so unreasonable, I’m going to sue the officials!”

    Wang San immediately panicked when he heard the words, changed his previous arrogant attitude, and shouted: “The hero spares his life, the hero spares his life, why do you have to go to see the official, I will refund the money!”

    Even if Wang San recognized quickly, he still couldn’t escape a beating.

    He also lost money, his face was blue and swollen, and his stall was half smashed.

    Shao Yu said, “Do you still think he makes money?”

    The third shook his head and said, “It’s just this time, other times…”

    Shao Yu said, “He was actually lucky this time.”

    The third child looked at Wang San’s unlucky appearance, and could not be related to luck.

    Shao Yu explained: “The luck is even worse. It’s not a beating, but a loss of life.”

    In this world, bullying is completely commonplace.

      , you will lose your life.

    Shao Yu said: “I never feel that doing business should not make money, but a gentleman loves money, and you get it in a proper way. The money you get should match your efforts.”

    “But I want to make a lot of money, and I want the landlord.” The third child said that she wanted to get wealth quickly. After she set her own goals, she always felt that she had little time .

    Shao Yu said: “If you want to make money quickly, there are other ways, not by cheating.”

    Wang San’s way of making money, the same item, the same cost, relying on coaxing buyers to sell at a much higher price than his peers, he did this, it was completely opportunistic, although he could temporarily Make a lot of money, but it’s not a long-term way.

    “But how can I make money?” asked the third child.

    Shao Yu said: “You have to understand why there is business.”

    “Why?” asked the third child.

    “Why did they buy rabbits? Why did they buy jewelry?” Shao Yu asked.

    The third brother frowned and thought for a while, and said, “Because I want to eat rabbit meat, or I think rabbits are cute, as for jewelry, it is to decorate my beauty.”

    Shao Yu nodded and said, “Since the buyer wants to buy it, it means that the buyer needs these goods, right?”

    The third child was so happy when he heard the words, and asked: “Need, because the buyer has a need, so there will be business.”

    Shao Yu felt that the child had a good understanding, so he continued: “Doing business is to meet the needs of others. If you know what others need, you can prescribe the right medicine, and then your business can start. “

    “And your business, with high quality and low price, can last for a long time.”

    The third child pondered for a long time before asking, “Then how do I know the needs of others?”

    Shao Yu smiled and said, “See more, listen more, learn more, think more.”

    The third child chewed these words silently in his heart, and became extremely silent all afternoon.

    She couldn’t find anyone to observe, so she could only look at Shao Yu. She wanted to see how he would sell the remaining gray rabbit according to Shao Yu’s method.

    Shao Yu was not in a hurry to sell the goods, just sat there leisurely, waiting for someone to come to ask the price.

    “Is this a rabbit in the mountains, or a rabbit you raised?” The person who came here looked in his thirties, and although he was not particularly well-dressed, he could tell that he was a rich owner.

    Shao Yu said: “If you touch the rabbit’s legs, you will know where the rabbit is.”

    This person really touched the rabbit’s leg, and then said: “With such a strong force, it is indeed a rabbit in the mountains.”

    “Five hundred.” Shao Yu said.

    “It’s expensive,” said the guest.

    The third child couldn’t help but glance at Shao Yu, as if wondering why he was selling such a high price.

    Shao Yu said: “Guests like tangerine peel, and they will give you a recipe of tangerine peel and rabbit meat.”

    The guests’ eyes lit up when they heard it, but there was still some hesitation on their faces.

    Shao Yu said: “My family lives in Guankou Village, my surname is Shao, and as soon as I go to the village to inquire, I know that if this tangerine peel rabbit meat does not suit the taste of the guests, you can go to me and settle the account.”

    The guest clenched his teeth when he heard the words and said, “Okay, five hundred words is five hundred words.”

    The guest took the gray rabbit and got another recipe. When he left, he walked briskly.

    “Dad, why are you different from what you said before?” the third asked.

    Shao Yu said: “The rabbit is worth 300 yuan, and the recipe is worth 200 yuan. My price is not exorbitant, but innocent.”

    As soon as these words came out, the third child was not easy to refute, and only said: “How do you know that he will buy it?”

    Shao Yu said: “This person is very particular about what he eats.”

    “How did you see it?” The third child was puzzled.

    Shao Yu pointed to the opposite side, there was a restaurant.

    “He came out of the restaurant opposite, the owner of the restaurant took him out in person, and the other shop assistants looked at him with a smile on their faces, and he also joked with the assistants, the restaurant The boss treats him with more than affection but not enough respect. Obviously, he treats him like this, not because of his status, but because he is a regular customer in the restaurant.”

    ” And he shouted before going out: ‘When the lotus blooms, I will definitely come to eat your lotus soup’, from here you can see the menu in the restaurant lobby, there is no lotus on it. The soup is obviously a private dish known only to those who know how to eat it.”

    The third child looked in the direction Shao Yu pointed, she did see rows of dishes, but she didn’t know any of the words on them.

    Shao Yu said: “This is why, I must teach you to read.”

    The third child vaguely felt Shao Yu’s good intentions and asked, “Then why are you sure he will buy this recipe?”

    Shao Yu said: “Don’t you smell it? He has a strong tangerine peel smell on his body, he looks healthy, and there is no need to take tangerine peel all the time, the reason why such a thick tangerine peel smell lingers. , mostly because he likes eating dried tangerine peel.”

    The third snorted and whispered, “I don’t know what the smell of tangerine peel is.”

    “So I asked you to learn more, you smelled it today, remember it, maybe it will come in handy at the next critical moment.” Shao Yu said.

    The third tried to recall the smell on the man, but his mind was blank.

    Xiao Wu whispered: “That person is very fragrant, like a fruit-like fragrance.”

    Shao Yu nodded and boasted: “Xiao Wu remembers it very clearly. If you touch it again, can you identify this smell?”

    Xiao Wu blushed when she was praised. She liked to be affirmed by Shao Yu, but she said honestly, “I’m not sure, but I will try to remember.”

    Shao Yu vaguely sensed this daughter’s talent, but was still not sure, so he took her to the pharmacy.

    In the pharmacy, Shao Yu grabbed a few herbs, all of which are commonly used in summer. After he taught Xiao Wu to recognize it, Xiao Wu could still remember most of it.

    Because of Shao Yu’s previous praise, Xiao Wu was determined to make Shao Yu happy. After leaving the pharmacy, he kept talking about the medicinal herbs, trying to remember them all.

    Shao Yu did not interrupt her, but bought some necessities, and finally took them to a grain store, bought some grain and returned home.

    “Aren’t we buying other things?” the third child couldn’t help asking.

    After all, Shao Yu still has a lot of money on hand, and the third child hopes that Shao Yu can buy more food.

    Shao Yu said: “It won’t be long before the world will be at peace, and most likely it will catch up with the autumn harvest. At that time, the price of grain will come down, so I will buy more grain.”

    The third child understands that the price of grain for the autumn harvest will drop, but he does not understand where Shao Yu’s argument that the world is peaceful comes from.

    Shao Yu explained: “We are the territory of King Chen, what do you think of King Chen?”

     King Chen was a member of the rebel army and was quite popular in the local area.

    But King Chen is different. He is like a saint. Not only did he not increase taxes, but he also reduced taxes several times. Even under his strict rule, he did not allow his soldiers to do anything wrong to the common people. lift.

      Punish the subordinate who committed the crime.

    Shao Yu looked at the style of these rebels, and knew that if there were no accidents, King Chen, whom the people wanted, would definitely be able to unify the Central Plains.

    “Although King Chen is very good, you are not sure that you will be able to do it so soon…” The third child was still a little afraid to say.

    Shao Yu said: “Didn’t you see the notice posted in front of the yamen? There are so many good news, it’s almost too late to post, and the day of King Chen’s summit is not far away.”

     “When the new emperor ascends the throne, the first thing is to appease the hearts of the people, which includes stabilizing food prices.”

    Because of the war, the price of food has been erratic. Once agreed, the court will naturally take action to stabilize the price of food.

    The third one thought that Shao Yu had calculated it again, but he did not expect that it was because too many good news showed that King Chen had already won most of the mountains and rivers.

    Shao Yu smiled and said: “So you need to be more literate, there are countless treasures hidden in it.”

    “Even if the new emperor really wants to ascend the throne, it may not bring any opportunities to make money.” On the contrary, the third child feels that the new emperor ascends the throne, and his life is far from what Shao Yu described. That would have a huge impact.

    Shao Yu said: “When the new emperor ascends the throne, it is the new atmosphere of the new dynasty. At that time, he will be in ruins. As long as you seize the opportunity, you can’t say that your net worth will be worth ten in an instant. a landlord.”

    The third child still does not understand.

    Shao Yu said: “The yamen is dilapidated and in disrepair for a long time. When the new dynasty is established, shouldn’t you seize the opportunity to rebuild it? If you can get the opportunity in advance, get a batch of cheap wood from other places, What will happen if you sell it at a high price when Xiu Ya?”

    “Then I will make a profit.” The third child’s eyes are shining.

    Shao Yu thinks that the third child is very smart, but her current brain is too limited, and she needs to raise some points to think more deeply.

    “What other business can be done? The timber business is ultimately too expensive.” The third child urged Shao Yu.

    Shao Yu stretched out his right hand and pointed to his brain.

    The third child is puzzled.

    Shao Yu said: “You think.”

    The third sighed, but although she couldn’t think of a better business for a while, she had some ideas.

    After the three of them got home, after putting down the food, Shao Yu took out the medicinal materials and asked Xiao Wu again.

    Xiao Wu didn’t care about the others along the way, and kept memorizing these herbs very carefully. At this time, she was tested by Shao Yu. Although she was nervous, she could still speak most of it.

    “Do you like these herbs?” Shao Yu asked softly.

    Xiao Wu nodded, seeing Shao Yu still staring at him, and said, “I think it smells good.”

    Shao Yu didn’t know for a while whether this child’s talent was in spices or medicinal materials.

    “Do you like all kinds of aromas?” Shao Yu asked again.

    Xiao Wu nodded lightly and said, “The smell of medicinal herbs is very good, I always feel that they represent healing.”

    “Do you want to learn how to collect herbs? Pick the herbs and make them by yourself,” Shao Yu said.

    Xiaowu’s eyes lit up at first, but soon dimmed again, and said, “The pharmacy doesn’t accept female apprentices, and I can’t help it if I want to learn. Dad, you don’t have to worry about me so much.”

    “The pharmacy doesn’t accept it, I can teach you.” Shao Yu said.

    “Really?” Xiao Wu still couldn’t believe that such a good thing would fall on his own head.

    Shao Yu nodded and said, “You also call me daddy, why should you be so restrained towards your own father.”

    Xiao Wu also hopes that she is as bold as the other sisters. Today, she is very envious of the third sister and Shao Yu chatting calmly.

    But for some reason, she always had a little fear of Shao Yu in her heart, as if there was a voice reminding her from time to time that she was not Shao Yu’s own child, so she was very lucky to be alive Not bad, we shouldn’t continue to trouble Shao Yu.

    “Will this be very troublesome?” Xiao Wu finally asked.

    She looks both looking forward and anxious. She wants to get the opportunity to learn, but she is afraid that she will really become a drag on Shao Yu.

    “My daughter, how could it be trouble?” Shao Yu said with a smile.

    Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

    In order to lighten the burden on her heart, Shao Yu said, “If you learn to collect medicines and make medicines, you can also subsidize your household at that time. I thank you for being too late.”

    Xiao Wu was also overjoyed when she heard that it could reduce the burden on the family. She was so eager to be a useful member.

    “Dad, I will definitely study hard.”

    To chasing a sheep is chasing, and chasing a flock of sheep is also chasing. Shao Yu can’t just focus on the little five, and then ask the other children if they want to study.

    The third child is never absent when it comes to making money.

    The other children, in the mood to join in the fun, also said they wanted to study.

    It’s just that Shao Yu taught him for a while, and it was almost certain that only the third and fifth children could learn.

    One of them is out of money, the other is out of hobby, and they are both motivated.

    As for the others, obviously not here.

    Shao Yu was neither surprised nor forced by this situation.

    And the next morning, in the mountains, the traps set up earlier caught two more rabbits.

    “Dad, kill one and eat?” When the second son Xu Ming said this, one was swallowing.

    Shao Yu glanced at the third child, shook his head, and said, “The family is difficult, and I need to sell it for money.”

    The light in Xu Ming’s eyes went out little by little.

    Maybe it was because the rabbits were sure to be caught, but most of them couldn’t eat them. This time Xu Ming was obviously weak when he set up the hunting trap.

    The third passed by and reminded him several times, but Xu Ming still looked weak.

    Perhaps under the influence of Xu Ming, another main force who set up hunting traps, the eldest daughter Liu Yuanyi, was not in the mood at this time.

    Almost no need for Shao Yu’s reminder, the third child could see the quantity and quality of traps set up today, obviously not as good as the day before.

    You don’t even have to wait until tomorrow to see the results of the hunt, the third child will know that tomorrow’s harvest is definitely not better.

    Shao Yu glanced at her, and the little girl walked over with her head down and said in a low voice, “Father, I was wrong before.”

    Shao Yu didn’t have the heart to suppress a little girl, only said: “Although making money is important, you can’t squeeze people too hard.”

    When a few people went down the mountain and came home, most of the children looked like they were stunned because they couldn’t eat rabbit meat. They didn’t seem to have much energy in the literacy class after lunch. .

    What surprised Shao Yu was that the fourth child, who he thought would be rotten on the bed, got up and walked into the yard and sat down beside Xiao Qi, although his face was still full of It’s lazy, but obviously he has planned to follow Shao Yu to read.
