Chapter 97 The new shopkeeper who is delicious and lazy

The old lady said that she didn't care whether her son was going back to the countryside, she was just angry, and she didn't dare to make the matter public. If someone knew that Shen Mingwen was unfilial, she would likely be expelled from fame.

In Li's mind, Shen Mingwen's fame is more important than anything else!

Shen Mingwen was determined to stay in the inn. Even if Shen Mingjun and relatives of the Shen family went to persuade him, it would be useless. Later, the two sides simply became a stalemate.

On the sixth day of the April 1st, on the third day after Shen Mingwen returned, Li Shiyi gritted her teeth and returned to the village. She was about to bring her second son and third son to the city, and also brought Shen Mingwen's wife Wang and two daughters. Others could not persuade her, but it should be effective for her wife and daughter to persuade her.

Chen Xi knew that Li mainly wanted to go back and bring his second uncle Shen Mingyou and third uncle Shen Mingtang to take over the tea shop business, and prevent the signs of splitting up after the eldest house was dominant.

When Li entered the city, he was the eldest son who accompanied him, so he naturally had to be accompanied by someone when he returned home, and Shen Mingjun still couldn't go home.

On the ninth day of the lunar month, the Shen family and all took a ox cart into the city.

The first thing Li did after entering the city was to send Wang and Shen Mingwen's two daughters to the inn and launch a family offensive to make Shen Mingwen compromise.

Then Li took Shen Mingyou and Shen Mingtang to the teahouse and took over the management of the teahouse from Han Wuye.

"Tell you, if I live for a long time, this family will not be dispersed."

In the Shen family courtyard, Li gathered three sons, except Shen Mingwen and the fourth son of Shen Mingxin, who was in the countryside, to give a speech.

In addition, Wang took his two daughters to the inn and went to the inn all day, but there was no result. Before dark, he came back in disgrace to report to Li.

Li scolded: "The useless thing, even his husband can't take care of it, and he wants to run away from home. I don't know how you live on weekdays!"

Wang was unhappy at first. In order to revitalize the family, her mother-in-law locked her husband in the attic and never came down for a whole year, making her live a widow. When Wang was in the countryside, she had a lot of objections to her mother-in-law, but she was forced to resist due to Li's power. Now that Shen Mingwen started, she heard her mother-in-law scolding, she plucked up her courage and replied: "Mom, I am standing by my husband's side in this matter."

"What did you say? Say it again!"

Shen Mingyou quickly grabbed Li and said with a smile: "Mom, you see, this is the city or the youngest home. It's not good to hear it from the neighbors. If you have anything to do, let's talk about it and calm down first."

Shen Mingyou is the lazy and the most worldly among the brothers. He knew that this time Li asked him and his third brother Shen Mingtang to enter the city to choose someone from the tea shop, so he naturally had to perform well in front of his mother.

Yi's family walked into the main hall, Li looked around and waved his hand: "Qian'er, Man'er, you two go out with Xiaolang, what's wrong with you juniors here."

Chen Qian and Shen Man are the daughters of Shen Mingwen and Wang. Chen Qian is fourteen years old after the age of 2018. Chen Man is only eight years old, but both are older than Chen Xi. Seeing her grandmother driving her away, Chen Qian and Shen Man were at a loss.

Chen Xi nodded to them: "Sister, fourth sister, let's go to have a meal first."

"good."

Chen Qian is basically aware of it at this age. She took her sister's hand and followed Chen Xi out of the yard. When she was about to reach the back door of the pharmacy, Zhou happened to come out.

Zhou was going home to check it out, but when she saw Chen Xi, she was relieved. She pulled her son in and asked her. She knew that there was no result, but she didn't want to get involved.

That night, Li and others went to Chenxi's lobby to stay at Bo's house. Chen Qian and Shen Manyi followed him. Because there were too many people taking care of him, Shen Mingjun was finally allowed to stay at home to accompany Zhou.

The next morning drum just rang, and Shen Mingjun rushed to take care of his mother. After Chen Xi had breakfast and was about to go to school, Shen Mingjun turned back and brought Li's final decision: the shopkeeper of the tea shop was handed over to Shen Mingyou, the second uncle of Chen Xi.

After hearing this, Zhou was very dissatisfied: "Uncle Er is a man who is lazy and hates labor on weekdays and rarely does farm work at home. How can he take care of money?"

Shen Mingjun said helplessly: "This is my mother's decision that she is worried about her elder brother's affairs now. When she sees her, don't say anything to her."

Zhou had a dark face and handed out the account book of the tea shop and asked Shen Mingjun to take it to Shen Mingyou to see.

When Shen Ming was born, the Shen family was still in a good place, so he went to school and knew some words, which was probably the main reason why Li asked him to take over the tea shop.

The first thing Shen Mingyou did after taking office as the shopkeeper was to read all the accounts, and then asked Li to ask for rewards and tell him that he had calculated the accounts without any problem.

Shen Ming felt that Han Wuye was just a tea shop hired to teach, and he had to share the profits of the tea shop, which was really a loss, so he simply decided to turn the share into a fixed monthly money, with no increase or decrease in quantity, basically based on the monthly money that Han Wuye has divided every day.

Mr. Han Wu didn't want to interfere too much with the Shen family's housework. He changed the floating share to a fixed monthly money and did not reduce his income, so he was happy to accept it.

In the first few days when Shen Mingyou became the shopkeeper, he did a lot of moves in the tea shop, mainly focusing on how to deduct monthly money from his subordinates. As for the work-working award, he simply canceled it, thinking that this kind of money was wasted and meaningless.

Li was very supportive of Shen Mingyou's decision.

On April 13, Li took Shen Mingyou to the courtyard of Chenxi's house and scolded Shen Mingjun in front of Zhou and Shen Xi: "Look at your second brother, you have just taken over the tea shop and have done a good job in the business and can save a lot of places. You are not in charge of the family and don't know how expensive the firewood and rice are."

Chen Xi thought that according to Shen Ming's business philosophy, he could indeed reduce expenses in a short period of time, but he did not open up any sources, which made Han Wuye and his fellow sluts complain and did not do things well.

Even if Chen Xi knew these words in his heart, he could not mention them to the old lady in person. The cold war between the old lady and Shen Mingwen continued. Wang, who was originally brought to the city to persuade her husband, has now moved to the inn to live a small life with her husband, which made Li even more angry.

"Look at what I said, this business belongs to our Shen family. How can I not care about it as a member of the Shen family?" Shen Mingyou, who was praised by Li, seemed particularly modest. "When the business is done, the family can save more effort. I am going to use this money to store a few days on the edge of the city, and then start a big house."

Shen Mingjun reminded: "Second brother, shouldn't you make the shop bigger and stronger with money?"

Li's face was very unhappy: "Can our Shen family do the things that put the cart before the horse? No matter how big the business is, there will be bad things. Only by buying more land can our Shen family return to their previous appearance. Younger, don't always learn from others."

This is like saying that his son and his daughter-in-law have learned bad things. Zhou’s helps in the pharmacy, and the owner of the pharmacy shop, Hui Niang, made money and turned the pharmacy shop into two.

In ancient times, business was the end, and land was the foundation. The ancients advocated the pursuit of profit by the end and the foundation, and to put it bluntly, they made money in business and then used the money they earned to buy land by the local owner. This is also the reason why there were very few big merchants in ancient times. Capital was not used to expand business and wanted to exploit others.

After hearing this, Zhou heard it, his left ear went in and out of his right ear.

But when Zhou returned to the pharmacy and talked about this with Hui Niang, he had many complaints.

Hui Niang was the listener first. After listening to Zhou's words, she handed over the bowl full of rice: "Sister said you're tired. After dinner, let's continue saying that my sister has visited several book shops in the city today. Our books are selling well. Now it's hard to buy another book in the city. My sister has already given instructions. I'm working overtime these days and printing more books."

Zhou touched his chest and said, "After this day, my sister, you said something that makes people feel comfortable when I hear it."

Chen Xi was eating silently, and was also wondering in his heart that the sales were suddenly booming.

At this time, scholars study hard behind closed doors and find it difficult to contact the outside world, so they usually read some miscellaneous books to pass the time. In the past, those bookstores never sold books, so no one paid attention to them at the beginning. After a person accidentally came into contact with and bought them, they immediately became addicted to the book, which quickly formed an advertising effect. Soon everyone knew about it and rushed to buy it, so there was no one caring about the book when it was first placed in the bookstore, but suddenly the sales were hot and quickly sold out.

It will have a huge impact on the operation of tea shops.

The tea shop business was booming before, because everyone wanted to listen to the new book first, and the book was put on the shelves and sold publicly. When the literate people bought it and read it, they would tell people in the market. After all, neighbors gathered in yi, which was more atmosphere than spending money to listen to books in vain.
