"It's not tiring to run a shop, but I have to stay in the shop all day long, like being in prison. Sometimes I can't leave if I want to talk to you. Let's have dinner together some other time. It's better to get acquainted with each other after a meal."

Brother Fang said after receiving the side dishes, sending Liu Yu out.

Liu Yu nodded and smiled slightly, "Then we'll be hosts." The county seat

is different from the village, it's not so humane, and they are from the countryside. , to curry favour. Earlier, Li Qingshan and Liu Yu discussed that they should just do their own business honestly, and don't need to worry about this kind of thing.

But now that someone else has spoken up, Liu Yu is not impolite, so he agreed.

He went back to the shop, thinking of Wang Daxiang just now, he really wanted to laugh.

There are no guests at the moment, Li Qingshan sits on the wooden bench next to the desk to rest for a while, seeing him so happy, Li Qingshan unconsciously put on a smile on his face, turned around and asked him: "What's the matter so happy?"

Liu Yu walked up to Li Qingshan, and whispered to him: "Brother Fang hit a big bulge on his husband's head."

Li Qingshan was a little surprised, just about to say no, but then remembered the scene he saw when he came to visit that day , suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and finally said dryly: "He...he is a bit powerful." "

Not only powerful?" Liu Yu said with bright eyes: "He can subdue such a big man , This is my skill!"

Li Qingshan felt a little sour, turned his head and tilted one ear to Liu Yu and said, "You twist, I am obedient, I told you to be submissive." The

smile on Liu Yu's lips became bigger Some, I thought it was a bit funny, "It's fine, what do I screw you for?"

Having said that, he touched Li Qingshan's ear honestly.

It was soft, Liu Yu only pinched it lightly, then hugged Li Qingshan's neck, and said coquettishly: "I don't want to part with it."...

When

there was not much meat left, Cong Chunhua took care of the aftermath in the shop, Li Qingshan and Liu Yu first Go out and buy something.

The first is pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which are often bought by people like ledgers. There are bound pen and ink shops, one hundred sheets of paper, and the price varies according to the type of paper.

Among them, there are subdivisions, such as those with red line grids on the inner pages and pure blank pages, the former is naturally more expensive.

Li Qingshan flipped through the two kinds of booklets and was a bit undecided, Liu Yu said: "Buy the one with grids, I think the words written with grids should be more neat." Li Qingshan nodded, and the two still chose to

compare Cheap jute paper costs one hundred and twenty cash for this volume, which is really expensive.

In addition, a piece of tile inkstone costs 80 Wen, a piece of two taels of ordinary ink without a name costs 100 Wen, and a piece of the cheapest rabbit hair pen costs 30 Wen.

Li Qingshan asked for two pens at once, Liu Yu asked him why he bought so many pens.

With a smile in his eyes, Li Qingshan took a pen and lightly brushed Liu Yu's cheeks, "We each have one, and practice calligraphy when we have nothing to do." In the past, I didn't study

hard when I was able to study, but now I have to learn how to write when I open a shop. , Only then did I realize the truth of the sentence that I hate less when I publish a book.

Liu Yu nodded with a smile, and the two of them bought another piece of toilet paper which was cheaper. This time they spent four hundred Wen, which was really expensive.

Li Qingshan secretly thought in his heart, he must make good money, they will just use the cheap ones, and in the future when their children can learn to read, they have to choose some good ones for him to use.

After that, he asked the carpenter to measure the size and build a new desk for Li Qingshan. Li Qingshan also asked the carpenter to build a chair with a back according to Liu Yu's height and his height. In this way, when you are tired from standing occasionally, you can sit and cut the meat for a while, and Liuyu can sit and collect money all the time, so you don't get tired.

Such a large piece is not cheap, a wooden table costs 400 renminbi, and because it is a chair with a backrest instead of an ordinary wooden stool, the workmanship is much more complicated, and two chairs cost 600 renminbi.

Fortunately, half of the down payment is paid first, and the other half is paid only after the carpenter delivers the goods.

After this matter was settled, the shop was locked, and Liu Yu and Cong Chunhua paid a piece of money to go home in a mule cart.

Li Qingshan took advantage of the early finish of work today to drive the mule cart to buy long wooden branches for the pea frame. When the long wooden branches were brought home, he had to turn back to collect the woolen pigs.

At the end of the day, the only time I have the most free time is in the afternoon when I am slow and slow selling meat at the shop.

...

"Continuing on like this is not an option."

At night, the young couple who had been busy all day relaxed each other, and Liu Yu continued: "Look, we are busy every day for a while in the morning, and there is basically nothing after that." I'm busy, but it's not worthwhile to close the shop until it's so late."

According to Liuyu, they should either sell them out early and go home to do their homework, or spend the same amount of time earning more The money comes back so that people can be hired to do the housework, and the two must be the same.

Li Qingshan sighed, "In the final analysis, there are still few people eating meat in this area."

There are two kinds of butcher shops in the county seat. One is the big butcher shop in Zhongfang City. It is said that dozens of pigs and sheep are slaughtered every day, and they are exclusively supplied to restaurants, restaurants and wealthy households. Luzi, there is only one in Yunshui County, because the business is so big, it is inferior to other people who have to be registered as a merchant; and the other is the butcher shop opened by Li Qingshan and Lai Datuzi, which are scattered among the streets of various cities and towns. For the residents of the city.

There are usually two or three such butcher shops in every square city. They have been open for a long time, not to mention deep roots, and they have a lot of money in hand. If you open a shop in such a place to compete with others, they don't need to do anything, just sell the meat at a low price for a few days in a row, and they can make them throw all the pork in their hands and lose everything.

So when Li Qingshan went out to choose a location, he avoided those butcher shops and chose here.

What he was thinking about was that there was no butcher's shop in this area, and his small business was ignored by no one, so he could save money slowly.

But now the shortcomings are also revealed, the land is slightly out of the way, only one pig is added every day, and it has to be sold for so long.

If it comes to summer, it should be a business with only one pig a day.

"Don't sigh!" Liu Yu turned around and hugged Li Qingshan fiercely, her eyes sparkled and said: "I have an idea!" The

big dog who was suddenly hugged by Fu Lang had already put on a smile on his face, hearing this Yan Yan stretched out his hand to shave Fu Lang's little face and said, "Hurry up!"

"Hmm..." After pondering for a while, Liu Yu said, "We can sell raw meat in the morning and cooked meat

in the afternoon!" There is a window, the right window is used for selling meat, and the left side has been left unused, and Liu Yu has long been thinking about what to use the left side for.

It will not delay his helping Li Qingshan sell meat in the morning, but also make customers feel that buying this kind of food in a butcher shop will not be dirty, Liu Yu thought about it and couldn't come up with any good idea.

It was still today when he went to the street to buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones, when Li Qingshan greeted the stewed peddler who had been buying pig offal from them, Liu Yu suddenly thought, since others can make money by selling cooked offal, why can't they rely on selling pig offal? Cooked meat to make money?

Thinking of Cong Chunhua's cooking skills, the more Liu Yu thought about it, the more he felt that the right time, place, people and them were all taken up, and it would be a waste not to try!

When Li Qingshan heard it, he felt enlightened, and took advantage of the opportunity to press Liu Yu under his body and said: "You are still smart!"...

Since

it is decided to sell cooked cuts, all the remaining unsold meat will be used for food Go home and ask Cong Chunhua and Liu Yu to try the recipe. In this way, those few women and husbands who stepped on the hour to cut down the price and cut cheap meat were all in vain.

"Sold out?"

"Yeah." Li Qingshan was installing the wooden boards on the windows outside the shop, without turning his head, "I want to buy it sooner next time." One of the

husbands said with an embarrassing face, "I just watched it clearly. The shop is still open."

His family lives nearby, and he noticed it when the shop opened on the first day, and after observing it for a few days, he saw that there was only this young couple in the shop, so he started to think about it.

Those from the countryside, young people, are easy to handle.

So he called a few neighbors, and they took turns squatting near the shop in the afternoons these few days, waiting for the meat to be sold out when the meat was almost sold out, and cut down some cheap meat to go back together.

He succeeded a few times before, and several neighbors praised him for being smart, but he didn't expect to miss it today. He was a little unwilling and said: "Don't you want to sell it to us?

" Liu Yu interrupted loudly, "How could it be?"

"Who doesn't do door-to-door business?" Liu Yu came out of the shop and said, "That's right, our shop is going to sell some cooked cuts, so the last bit of meat left over will be taken home to try out the recipe. "

Liu Yu smiled, glanced around at these women and husbands, and continued: "So, if you want to cut meat in the future, it's better to come earlier." The words

were sarcastic, but because of his voice With a bit of Nanxiang people's unique softness and soft-spoken, one can't help but wonder if he meant to be sarcastic.

Several women and their husbands looked at each other in blank dismay, their thin-skinned faces lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Liu Yu ignored them and turned to help Li Qingshan install a wooden plank for the window.

These people stood there for a while, seeing that they were indeed about to close the shop, they looked at each other, and finally left together resentfully.

Liu Yu turned her head to look at the backs of these people who finally rolled away, and hummed: "It's cheaper for them!"

If it wasn't because of doing business in a friendly manner, he wouldn't let it go so easily. over them.

Fu Lang always looked so cute when he was angry, Li Qingshan had a smile in his eyes, there were so many people outside, he couldn't do anything, so he just got close to Liu Yu, pressed his arm and said: "Don't be angry, let's go home and cook cooked cuts Go!"

"Yeah." Liu Yu nodded heavily, then turned her head to look at Li Qingshan's eyes.
