Chapter 386 Chapter 386: A group of single dogs [seeking double monthly tickets]
Jiang Sheng is so old, it’s not that he has confiscated money from someone younger than him, but it’s definitely the first time he’s collected money from someone younger than himself... Besides, he’s too old to collect money.
However, this man is his master.
is younger than him, but has a higher status.
Jiang Sheng had no choice but to salute and thank him, and accepted this very "thin" money. Although it is only a red rope, this red rope is exquisitely braided, and the length should be worn on the wrist.
Jiang Sheng didn't hesitate to put it on.
"During the few days you've been here in Fugu, are you still used to it?"
"Well, I'm used to it, thank you, Lord, for your concern."
Shen Tang said: "Where are the family members at home?"
Different from the group of single dogs like Shen Tang, who have enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry, Jiang Sheng has not only a wife, but also a son and a daughter. It is impossible for a family of several people to pack up a few clothes and take their belongings and run around with them. Shen Tang asked him to stay in Luxia County to pack up, and then bring his family to Fugu City, so that he could arrange their family's residence here in advance.
So, Jiang Sheng only arrived two or three days ago.
There was a little smile on his eyebrows.
"Well, my wife is quite yearning for the lord."
"Longing for?"
"Yes, praise enough."
Actually, before Jiang Sheng had time to get familiar with the city, he was arrested by Qishan. Although it was only a small county, the year-end summary, Chinese New Year sports meeting, and advance arrangements for spring plowing were accumulated together, and the amount was not small.
It needs to be done before closing the pen.
Except for a short rest on the first day, I packed my bags with my wife and daughter, furnished my new house, and visited neighbors. I spent the rest of the two days in the government office, and I didn’t go back until very late.
Go home and see his wife modifying the child's clothes with the help of an oil lamp, and joke with him about what he saw and heard during the day.
Both inside and outside the words are admiration for the new owner, and he asked him where he could change the "bar". It is said that the newly opened Fugu Department Store in the north of the city has some limited supply of goods, which must be exchanged for the corresponding "bars", otherwise they will not sell them.
It's just that Jiang Sheng didn't have time to inquire about it, because after the busy work, it was a sports meeting in a blink of an eye.
Jiang Sheng understands the general process, and most of them can be carried out according to last year's plan. If there are a few praying for good, where can I get my turn? However, he never expected that he was not only needed, but also an indispensable part.
Wenxin scholars have such a low status in Heyin?
But when he understood what Gong Shuwu and Xian Yujian were going to do, he immediately fell silent—
Compared with martial arts warriors, the working environment of Wenxin scribes is already quite friendly. He also didn't expect that the effect of the fireworks would be so stunning, they flashed away under the sky, but left an unforgettable memory in people's hearts.
Chang Street Lamp City, full of tourists
The trance made him delusional—
I am like a native of Wuling, who strayed into a peach blossom garden.
Shen Tang smiled and straightened his chest proudly. What could be more fulfilling than being recognized by the people under his rule?
The common people recognized it, even the new ones recognized it, which fully showed that they really felt "happiness" in Fugu City.
After walking together for a long time, Shen Tang couldn't help but drifted to another place, and was dispersed by the crowd after a while.
Across the crowd, Shen Tang waved at him.
"Come on and play by yourself first, I will withdraw first."
After speaking, he went into the crowd and disappeared.
Jiang Sheng: "..."
This is the city of Fugu, and he was not worried about the safety of his lord. He followed the hawker in the market and bought some children's favorite things, a few packs of Fugu's special pastries that the hawker tried so hard to promote, and a rather delicate silver hairpin.
Following an unfamiliar road, I found my way home.
The lights in the courtyard are on.
The wife just came out of the side compartment.
Lowered his voice towards him: "It took a long time to put the child to sleep. If you wake up and look at your packs of stuff, you don't know how long the monkeys will be wild."
The couple returned to the master bedroom.
The courtyard arranged by Shen Tang is not too big, but although the sparrow is small, it has all the five internal organs.
The west side is the side room where the children sleep, and the other side is the neat and clean east kitchen. The husband and wife's bedroom is behind the main hall, with a small study room attached. In the bedroom, there was an earth kang that had never been seen before, and it took Jiang Sheng's wife some effort to know how to use it.
It was bitterly cold outside.
The house is warm and harmonious.
Sitting on the kang, Jiang Sheng felt a little hot after taking off only his underwear. At this temperature, the couple covered themselves with a thin quilt, which was enough to comfortably spend this cold night.
Even on the second day, the soil kang was still warm. The same thing can be found in every household in Fugu City. It only needs to burn hay, straw, fallen leaves and even animal manure to keep warm.
For common people, it is a winter weapon.
His wife asked him: "What about the 'article'?"
Jiang Sheng was reminded by her, his heart skipped a beat.
He didn't speak for a long time.
The wife knew that he was busy and forgot.
Don't give a good face.
That thing is available for a limited time.
Missed this time, I don’t know when it will be on the shelves next time. Seeing the old wife with a sad face, Jiang Sheng knew he was wrong, so he coaxed it softly for a while. Ask: "What exactly is it?"
Let the old wife miss you so much, never forget?
As he spoke, he took out the silver hairpin in his bosom that was soaked in his body temperature, smiled and bribed him, and just wrote on his face, "For the sake of this annual gift, don't bother with him." The wife touched the shape of the object and guessed what it was, and the depression was only 70% to 80% relieved.
"Oh, it's a batch of silk embroidery thread."
"No wires at home?"
Tomorrow I have a rest, so I have time to look for it.
It's just that he doesn't see a shortage in Fugu City, so he can't even find decent quality embroidery thread, right?
"That's no ordinary embroidery thread."
The wife lay on her side and sat up again.
Jiang Sheng listened attentively to what she said next.
"How unusual is it?"
"The embroidery thread sold by the Fugu department store also gives away some 'velvet flower' patterns, and teaches people how to do it... The flowers made with that thread are more beautiful than any style of hairpin. If it is done well, the grocery store There will be money to buy…”
That day, I saw a girl with a red camellia in her hair. At that time, I thought it was a real flower, but when I got closer, I realized it was a fake flower. The girl said she bought it at a grocery store. She inquired all the way to the Fugu Department Store, and it took her a lot of time to figure it out.
Although my husband has found a reliable new owner, the food, clothing and human relations of the few members of the family cannot be covered by Jiang Sheng's new salary. During the past few years under Lu, life has been very tight, and there is not much savings left.
As the children get older, their expenses also increase.
They have no real estate or shops in Fugu, and the family's expenses depend on the remaining savings and Jiang Sheng's salary.
She also has to plan ahead.
Jiang Sheng said: "Tomorrow, I will go to inquire about it."
In the early years, he was thrown money by various big brothers. Jiang Sheng had no concept of gold and silver treasures, and returned after the thousands of gold were gone.
It's just that Qishan was tricked before, lost a lot of property on the way to escape, and then was trapped in Luxia County for many years. The former Lu County Sheriff didn't value him, and his salary was not much. state.
A penny can't beat a hero, alas.
Jiang Sheng fell asleep with his thoughts on his mind.
When I inquired about it on the second day, I almost broke my book case—the biggest feature of my new lord is that he is poor, and the seal silver distributed to everyone is lower than half of the normal level.
Jiang Sheng: "..."
Can you live this day? ? ?
Gu Chi was puzzled: "What can't be done?"
With this little salary, I can still have a balance throughout the year.
Jiang Sheng endured the headache, took a deep breath, and said a little depressed: "After all, the situation of each family is different..."
A group of singles without a family, how can they know how heavy it is to support a family? It is no problem to feed one person, but it is very difficult to feed several people. Gu Chi naturally did not miss his heartfelt voice.
Aware of the seriousness of the problem.
In order to save financial expenses, my lord kept other officials in the government office as usual, but the salaries of Gu Chi and the others were all on the low side.
So, everyone has no opinion. After all, the "literary luck/martial luck" they were allocated was enough to worth everything. Each household can also regularly receive ingredients from the government canteen, rice grains, meat, vegetables, salt and wine... To be honest, the salary is extremely high.
But they are all singletons.
And Jiang Sheng has a wife, son and daughter, and the family has a lot of expenses.
Gu Chi said: "It's because I didn't think carefully."
Just thinking about Jiang Sheng’s family needs to settle down, but ignoring that the family also needs expenses—although He Yin is not rich, but he is not poor enough to force out the clerk because of the salary issue. Once it spreads, it will make people laugh big teeth.
This problem is also easy to solve.
Jiang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."
Gu Chi said: "They are all colleagues, what is this?"
People eat whole grains and talk about money in order to survive.
It is also fortunate that Jiang Sheng is able to speak out. It would be a headache for those stubborn people who are so poor that they can't tell the truth, and who are thin-skinned and refuse to say anything, and choose to resist.
On the same day, the government office also quietly sent dozens of "notes" to Jiang Sheng's family, enough for their family to eat for a month.
As for the silk embroidery thread that Mrs. Jiang Sheng has been thinking about, she has also returned, and a detailed tutorial on "velvet flowers" is also attached.
She is ingenious and handy, and she does it decently after several times.
It's not just her, many women who are good at female celebrities in Fugu City also do this when they have nothing to do. Silk embroidery thread is expensive and replaced by other. They like to think about it, and they have also made improvements and innovations on the basic style...Fugu Department Store will give different purchase prices according to the quality and materials of the finished product.
"This advertisement sounds really like a scam, like a scam with diamond paintings..." Shen Tang couldn't help complaining.
Even if velvet flower is her suggestion.
Before, I saw that Yu Zi's hair was bald with no embellishments, Bai Su was dressed in plain clothes, Lin Feng was barely better, and she still had some jewelry savings, but most of them carried the memories of her boudoir at home.
Looking at the other women in the city, all of them are facing the sky, and there is a wooden hairpin and their hair is considered exquisite.
Shen Tang gritted his teeth, secretly hating himself for missing the business opportunity!
What is the best money to earn in this world?
Naturally a woman.
They not only need to buy their own supplies, but also other family members’ things. Which one does not cost money for food and clothing? But, how to make them spend money willingly?
Shen Tang had many ideas for leeks.
But the leek that was her Karma's leek is no longer in Fugu City.
And in Shangnan and other places.
There are many aristocratic families and many noble women in that place, which means that they are also capable of shopping. Shen Tang found Xu Jie overnight, and cut straight to the point: "Wen Zhu, we have a monopoly business here!"
Xu Jie: "..."
Shen Tang tentatively asked: "Do you know velvet flowers?"
Xu Jie asked: "What kind of flower is that?"
Shen Tang laughed wickedly: "Fluffy flowers can be worn on the head one by one, and they won't wither. They can be recycled many times. It's not better than those noble ladies who carefully raise flowers and wear them on the head for a day or two before they wither? Female Men can wear it, and men can wear it too."
It is an old tradition for men to wear flowers.
It's just that the single dogs in the tent don't bother to take care of it. Except for Xu Jie wearing peach blossom branches during the peach blossom season, she has never seen anyone else wearing them. Shen Tang felt that it was possible to tap the commercial potential in this aspect and make a lot of money.
One day these people can be forced to wear flowers.
Regardless of men or women, beauties wearing flowers are pleasing to the eye.
Coupled with their reputation in Fugu City, they can also run a wave of walking advertisements for Ronghua, leading to fashion trends!
Xu Jie: "..."
Draw him out at night just to talk about this?
Shen Tang has no consciousness of disturbing people's dreams.
complained: "Who told you to leave tomorrow?"
Doesn't she have to hurry up?
Xu Jie: "..."
He knew that Shen Jun was a talented profiteer in business, with a developed business acumen, and none of the business he did lost money.
As for the so-called velvet flower stuff, Xu Jie did not refuse, but asked his confidant to go nearby to fetch a batch of silk thread.
Xu Jie didn't expect this thing to make money at first.
After all, no matter how well a flower is made of silk thread, it can’t compare to the vibrancy and freshness of natural flowers, just make a small profit.
In order to gain popularity, he obeyed Shen Tang's order and picked the best ones for the wives of the lord Wu Xian.
