Chapter 462 Returning from selling the first batch of toothbrushes
Time passed slowly, but for the people in Shanshui Village, the days passed extremely fast.
They wished that there were twenty hours in a day, and they wished that they had eight hands, so that they could do farm work and feed livestock, cook and do manual work.
The men who went out were eager to return home when they were away, thinking about coming back quickly to take care of the medicinal material fields and build a new house and yard, and looking forward to going out to earn a hundred coins a day after returning.
The days entered the beginning of August in contradictions and expectations, and the Shanshui Village delivery team, which had been away for more than two months and almost three months, came back!
The team was originally scheduled to depart in mid-to-late April, but because more than a dozen men got married, it was delayed for more than half a month and was changed to depart in early May.
A trip to Yuhang takes between 40 and 50 days, but this time it is not only about delivering goods, but more about selling goods, and going to the prefecture along the way, so it will inevitably delay a lot of time, and this is indeed the case, it took nearly three months.
Hu Wenhua returned to the village. When he saw Ding Jiajia, his tanned face showed a big smile. He walked quickly towards the person he missed. If there were not so many people, he would really want to pull her into his arms.
After restraining himself again and again, he asked in a low voice: "Jiajia, have you prepared the things in the house? Have you seen it? Are you satisfied?"
Before he left, he barely built all the walls of the house, but he had not had time to prepare the furniture, stove, and well in the yard. Now he didn't know how far he had finished.
He quickly wanted to know whether everything was ready, and he wanted to know whether Jiajia was satisfied. Only when Jiajia was satisfied, it would be their little home.
Fan He was also tanned. Seeing Ding Jiajia grinning and showing her big teeth, he asked puzzledly: "Uncle, you will know if you go and take a look. Why do you catch Aunt Jiajia asking?"
Hu's mother couldn't help but pull Dahe over, and whispered as she walked out of the crowd: "You are still young and don't understand."
How could she understand the urgency of wanting to marry the person she loved.
Hu Wenhua saw his annoying nephew being taken away by his mother, his eyes were burning, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "Dahe doesn't understand, do you understand?"
He wanted to marry her, he wanted to very much.
Ding Jiajia's face was still flushed, and it was flushed again at this moment.
She nodded gently and said softly: "I went to see it, it has been bought. Your parents will ask my opinion every time they buy something, and everything is very good."
I used to see Wenhua often, but I didn't feel anything. After he went out, I thought the first few days were the most difficult, and I would miss him less and less as time went by, but as time went by, I missed him more and more.
Hu Wenhua's lips curled up more and more, and while the crowd was not paying attention, he couldn't help but hold her hand and then quickly let go, whispering: "I really want to marry you tomorrow."
Ding Jiajia's face was flushed, and the palm that he had held was even hotter. After a while, she reminded: "Go find Sister Shuiqing first, business is more important."
I can't just stand here forever.
Hu Wenhua didn't want to leave, but he had to. After all, they were not married yet, and he was afraid that he could not control himself and would do something out of line. He asked, "Would you go with me? I want to talk to you for a while."
".....Okay."
·
Shuiqing looked at the loving couple, with pink bubbles all over her body, and felt like a vicious sister at the moment, holding a stick to separate the lovers.
She considered and said, "How about I get out of the way?"
"No, no need! I'll go out, Sister Shuiqing, you two can talk about business." Ding Jiajia said without waiting for a response and ran out of the teahouse quickly.
Shuiqing sighed and said to her brother in confusion, "You can come back later to report. I won't blame you. Why are you here now?"
She made her look like Zhou Paopi. Is she the evil person who treats people harshly?
Hu Wenhua laughed heartily, "Sister, my marriage is also a big deal, and it's not just business matters that are serious matters."
"Are you here to talk about marriage?" Shuiqing asked.
You should ask your mother for the wedding date. Why ask her?
Hu Wenhua nodded vigorously: "Yes! I want to marry Jiajia. I want to ask when you harvest the herbs? I want to get married before the harvest!
During the autumn harvest, everyone is busy and tired, and not in the mood; after the autumn harvest, I think it's too late, I want to marry Jiajia as soon as possible."
Shuiqing understood, this is impatient.
But it's not easy to find a loved one, so I have to help.
"The yam in the field can't be harvested this year. It will be next year. There are only those on the mountain, but there is no rush;
Polygonum multiflorum can be postponed. It's okay to harvest it later. Anyway, the workshop is used to make toothbrushes now. It takes time to build a new herbal medicine workshop. Then harvest it in September. Do you think it's in time? If there is no good day, then postpone it again. How about October?"
Anyway, everyone can still make toothbrushes now, and they are also making money. It's okay to harvest Polygonum multiflorum later.
"No, no, I'll ask someone to calculate the date in the prefecture when I get back. August 26th is a good date! There are still about 20 days left, so it should be in time to set the date and prepare for the wedding."
After talking about her marriage, Hu Wenhua finally talked about this trip to sell toothbrushes: "Sister, this thing is indeed easier to sell in a bigger prefecture!
The shopkeepers of those big shops are very generous in purchasing goods, and the small grocery stores are afraid of not being able to sell them, but it is understandable. After all, most of the people who go to small grocery stores are farmers and poor people, so they naturally don't want to buy these supplies;
After that, every time we went to a prefecture, we specifically talked to big shops. Yuhang was the most smooth. We stayed in Yuhang for three days, and after three days, we visited several shops. The shopkeeper of the largest shop said that he had sold a small half of the goods in just three days, and even ordered the next batch of goods from us!
Sister, I am thinking of sending another batch of goods in September. This time, I will not distribute the goods from Guangning Prefecture to Yuhang, but go directly to Yuhang, first supply the Yuhang shop, and then slowly return to deliver the rest along the way. What do you think? "
Small prefectures are not selling fast, and there is no urgent shortage of goods in big prefectures.
Shuiqing certainly has no objection, "I don't understand the delivery route, nor do I know the shortage of goods in each prefecture. The market is ever-changing, and you will make the decision when you are away from home. "
Professional matters should be left to professionals. If she insists on taking charge of things she doesn't understand, it's because she's afraid that she won't die fast enough or that she's making too much money.
Hu Wenhua became more cautious about delegating power to Shuiqing, fearing that a mistake would damage the business.
This concerns the livelihood of the entire village! There can't be any mistakes.
Then he thought of his sister's instructions before leaving, and hurriedly said what he had observed: "Sister, from here to Yuhang, the city that was not affected by the flood is not too chaotic. In comparison, the closer to the north, the more chaotic people are, and the more people are selling shops, fertile fields, houses, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc.
Listening to the shopkeeper's discussion, the price is unprecedentedly low, but those big men, who obviously still have extra silver in their hands, are all in a wait-and-see state and have not made any moves. "
