MTL - Fight the Giants-Chapter 862 pros and cons
Chapter 862 Pros and Cons
East Street, a bustling street market that used to be full of people, is now invisible.
The clerk squatted at the door of the shop, staring at the street in a daze.
Usually I'm so busy that I don't touch the ground, but now it's a luxury to expect a guest to come to my door. It's good to be free, but I'm afraid that if there is no business, the boss will fire him, and he will lose the job of supporting his family.
Hua Yishui was so worried that he was in a daze for several days.
The fabric shop boy Shanzi on the opposite side went outside to attract customers. He looked around the door, but there was no one there, and he sighed.
Seeing Hua Yishui sitting at the door of the shop in a daze, he raised his voice, "Yishui, what are you thinking about?"
Hua Yishui regained consciousness, his eyes were a little lonely, "I'm worried."
"So sad?" Shan Zi was puzzled.
"Of course you don't have to worry, the shop belongs to your relatives, as long as you don't want to leave, who can drive you away!"
Shan Zi was stunned, "Are you afraid of being fired by the boss?"
Crap. A full man does not know a hungry man is hungry. Hua Yishui didn't want to talk to him.
Shanzi was not annoyed when he saw that Hua Yishui ignored him, he looked left and right, the street was deserted, and there were no customers, so he walked over and squatted down next to Hua Yishui.
The two of them looked at the street with their sleeves folded, both in a daze. After a long while, Shan Zi said, "Yi Shui, tell me, when will our East Street resume the previous situation of people coming and going?"
Hua Yishui felt that there was no hope in sight, "As long as Mrs. Shizi's north-south goods store continues to open, we will never see that day on East Street again." He was afraid that he really wanted to go home and eat himself. Almost cried out.
"Do you want Mrs. Shizi's store to close?" Shanzi asked him.
Hua Yishui did not speak.
That's Mrs. Shizi's shop, how can a small person like him be able to comment, don't die! But if the store is not closed, the customers will not come back. If the customers do not come back, the shop will have no business, and if the shop does not have business, he will really be fired.
The owner has lost money, so why would he want him!
Shanzi didn't think as much as he did, but he was also very subtle.
Before, when the customers were too busy to come, he looked forward to being free, but now he was so free that he lay on the counter and slept without anyone disturbing him, so he was a little unhappy.
"Although there is no business, to be honest, the north-south goods store opened by Mrs. Shizi is really good! I have been there twice and still want to go. I ran to queue early, and I couldn't bear to come out until the sun closed."
Although all the money I brought was spent. But have fun.
"I've never heard of the book that Mr. Storyteller said there. The snacks are delicious and the drinks are delicious. I want to buy a lot of things inside! The things are cheaper than buying outside!" Shanzi thought about the grand occasion inside, and he couldn't get enough.
Come closer to Hua Yishui's ear again, and whispered: "Even my boss and wife like to run there. There are obviously plenty of cloth in our warehouse, and we even brought back dozens of them from there."
Hua Yishui turned his head and looked into his shop, seeing that no one was staring at him, he whispered, "I think it's good too! I heard that the guys inside can earn several taels a month!"
It would be great if he could also get in there as a buddy. You can't be a shopping guide, but you can be a sweeper and water dispenser.
"And I heard that there is a new perfume shop for women in the west of the city. I heard that the wife of our boss took some girls in the family to have a bath on the day it opened, and I heard that he slept in it that day!"
Shanzi nodded with bright eyes: "Our boss is the same. He laments to us that the business cannot continue, and worries that the shop will close. Although he complains, he still runs to the perfume that Mrs. Shizi opened every day."
Poke Hua Yishui, "The perfume is fine, have you been there?"
"No. Have you been?"
"I don't have either. I heard that there is a new perfume store for the nobles. The earliest one is now unlimited, and a dozen copper coins can be used for a day. Or, let's go together after work?"
Hua Yishui straightened his body, nodded to him again and again, "Okay, call me after work!"
Everywhere in the city is talking about Mrs. Shizi's perfume store and North-South goods store, and everyone knows about it. Those who haven't been in yet feel out of place with everyone.
Huo Xi's newly opened perfume shop exclusively for women has become the favorite place for women in the city to go. Even the ladies like to run there.
Even Wushi likes to go there to have a bath, invite some friends she has made on weekdays, listen to books, enjoy singing and dancing, there are delicious and fun, there are many entertainment items, many of which she has never heard of or seen Pass. Playing for a few days is not enough.
Huo Xi's perfume store and north-south goods store, the people in the city flocked to them, making money every day, which made all the merchants jealous.
Colleagues are jealous of the booming business of Nanbei Merchant, but the common people are very happy. She still complained about why Mrs. Shizi opened this shop until now. Look at how convenient it is, the goods are good and cheap, who doesn’t love them?
People who live near the six city gates can also go to the gate of the city to take a free horse-drawn carriage. Those who don’t live near the city gate can wait at the place where the carriage passes, and occasionally they can sit for a while if there is space, without having to walk.
Even if there are too many people to wait, they are willing. Queuing will not be boring, you can listen to books and listen to musicians playing and singing. With a copper plate in hand, you can order a cup of drinks and some melon and fruit snacks.
Usually, these can only be enjoyed in teahouses, restaurants and restaurants, and ordinary people don't have the money to go in. But now, if you buy a catty of salt, you can come in and enjoy the treatment of a nobleman with two catties of millet. Even if you don't buy anything, the waiters will not chase you away.
Is this shop not doing well?
Hearing someone complain that Mrs. Shizi opened such a shop, causing outside merchants to lose business, they can still scold each other for a long time.
Those merchants have no business because they are stupid and don't know how to manage them. What's the matter with Mrs. Guan Shizi?
Didn't you see Mrs. Shizi's shop is too crowded to get in? Doing business in the same way, why do other people have business, but you don't? It's not because I'm stupid!
Mrs. Shizi opened such a shop, which is convenient for their people, why can't it work?
Their ordinary people like to visit such shops. They also want Mrs. Shizi to open more shops like this. It is inconvenient for people living in other neighborhoods to come to Dongcheng. It's better to open a few more rooms.
The South-North Cargo Company aroused heated discussions among the people in the city, and it continued. The merchants complained endlessly, but the common people nodded in praise.
Every day Huo Xi can receive a lot of local products, which were brought to her by the people in the city when they came in to shop. There are home-grown vegetables, home-made snacks, dried vegetable mushrooms and so on. I heard that Mrs. Shizi is pregnant, and someone sent eggs.
Huo Xi was deeply moved.
Alxa also likes to visit North-South goods stores. After eating, drinking and having fun in the city for several days, although I was reluctant to part with it, I had to go back. The clansmen are still waiting for him to bring back those daily-use things.
Before leaving, Alashan once again invited Mrs. Shizi.
