Chapter 309: Be kind and ruthless


    The business of the grocery store is not a big deal, but it is a chicken that can only lay golden eggs. Mrs. Liao, who spends more than Xin''an, naturally rushed to continue opening a store and make more money during the New Year.


    Seeing that Xin''an couldn''t find a shop suitable for opening a new store, he arranged for someone to look for it, which really made her find a good place.


    "Sister Xu, do you think this is a shop?"


    The two of them took the same car to the place where Mrs. Liao said. Standing at the door, Xin An was still a little unbelievable. There was obviously a courtyard in front of him. When the gate went in and around the screen wall, it was a square courtyard, but there was no one living there, and the courtyard was a bit shabby.


    Mrs. Liao smiled and said, "Just say whether this place is good or not."


    The street where the courtyard is located is not only filled with many people, but also a college with endless pedestrians.


    "We carefully checked it out. There are six grocery shops in the nearby three streets. Without exception, the shops are small and dark, and the goods are not complete."


    "But there are thousands of families living in these streets. How many people are there? There should be a big miscellaneous work shop."


    She had already made plans to open a shop. She led Xin''an to look around the yard and said, "It''s bright and spacious. As long as you knock off the walls of the yard and make the house into a shop. If so, there will be six shops, and you can see that the items are clearly placed in different categories, and there will be a place for pens, ink, paper and inkstone. This also takes into account those students. The paper in Linzhou is still very good."


    With her explanation, Xin An understood that she wanted to build the largest grocery store in Beijing. "At that time, put a few tables in this yard and arrange for people to burn some tea and water to attract students. When the students come, they can let those adults with children in the family come, and the business will naturally get better."


    Mrs. Liao asked with a smile, "Free tea?"


    Xin''an said that Huaijiang has a lot of tea, and some inferior tea is not valuable at all. "No money is needed anymore, so naturally I can''t think about drinking good tea, right?"


    Mrs. Liao suggested, "Why not open a tea shop directly? Anyway, we will sell tea, and we will set it out separately at that time. If new tea comes, we will hold a tea tasting party here, and naturally more people will come here."


    "Our tea is not enough and you can also let other teas be consigned, which is also an input."


    Xin An smiled, "It seems that Sister Liao already has a secret in her heart. Since she has decided, then do it. Can she buy this shop?"


    Mrs. Liao smiled and pulled out the deed from her sleeve, "I''ve bought it long ago, how can I feel at ease now?"


    Xin An understood, everything was ready, she just took a look and nodded by the way, "Then let''s talk about the principal."


    The shop on Yinghui Street is hers, and the principal is Mrs. Liao. Now, Xin An is not vague now.


    There are too many friends who have left halfway through the business together. The two of them are just by the way. There is no need to worry about the subtle gains and losses. Anyway, she is not short of money.


    After lunch, the two of them agreed on the general details. The rest was to discuss the details of the affairs of both sides. Fang Da was very active and felt that it was not too easy to do business with two mountains. The current business could no longer satisfy him. He urgently needed to become bigger and stronger.


    "The next thing is the affairs of the managers. I won''t delay any more things in the mansion. If you have anything to do, I''ll send someone to tell me afterwards."


    Mrs. Liao is the wife of the Zhang family, and there are still many things waiting for her to deal with. She stood by the carriage and advised Xin An, and then went home.


    Xin An took a deep breath, and went out and did a business, which was also an unexpected surprise.


    Cao Gui, who was in charge of driving the car, drove the horse on the road. Xin An inside the car couldn''t help but lift the curtain to watch as he listened to the noisy and lively sounds outside. "It''s really the New Year, and we have started to set up stalls to write couplets." "Let''s go back and make more small lanterns to hang in the yard, and be more festive."


    Chunyang and Chunlu complained about the coldness of the capital, saying how good the winter in Huaijiang is, Xin''an''s lips are tilted, and she will go back in a few months. It''s really fun to think about it.


    There were several men squatting at the wall in front of him, and there were baskets of charcoal in front of him. After a closer look, one of them had a missing piece of arms.


    Thinking of the reason why Mrs. Wang was slow to get out of charcoal fire before, I had a guess in my mind and ordered Cao Gui, "Go to Mrs. Wang''s mansion."


    At this moment, Mrs. Wang was angry and looked at the mother and son in front of her with impatient face. "There is twice as much charcoal fire this year than last year, why isn''t it enough?"


    The woman smiled with a flattering smile, "Madam, it''s really not enough for our family. Look, these two children are frozen and sick."


    One boy and one girl are wearing new clothes and two slugs are hung; the girl is wearing obviously inappropriate patched clothes, her exposed wrists are dark, and her fingers are covered with frostbite.


    Mrs. Wang sneered, "This is the second snowfall, have so much charcoal used up?"


    "From the Liu family, I made it clear when I distributed the charcoal fire. You said it yourself, where did the charcoal go?"


    The woman still smiled, not talking about where the charcoal was going, but only saying that life was too difficult, and she also said that her father-in-law and men were both abandoned for war for the court. She wanted to ask for more words and asked her two children to kneel down and kowtow, as if they would not leave if they could not get the charcoal today.


    Mrs. Wang was so angry that she couldn''t help but use this woman. She was wondering whether to get some for her in private, and a voice rang in her ears.


    "Since it was injured for the sake of the court, we should go to the court for compensation."


    The housekeeper of Wang''s mansion led Xin An in. She stood three steps away from the woman. "Mrs. Wang has tried to prepare enough charcoal for you to spend the winter, so that you can spend the winter safely. You took the charcoal and sold it. If you lost it, you will ask for it again. What is this place?"


    "Shantang?"


    He looked up at Mrs. Wang and said, "Madam, as far as I see, I found a car to take them directly to the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War might bring her charcoal fire."


    Mrs. Wang knew that Xin An was willing to scare her, so she ordered the manager to prepare the car on the spot. The woman was obviously panicked and wanted to leave on the excuse. Xin An sneered, "Isn''t it a loss to go back like this when I come?"


    The woman thought Xin''an wanted to get something for her, and her eyes were circling around Xin''an. Xin''an said, "Go and invite her man to take the person back and tell him that this is the last time. In the second time, the Marquis'' Mansion will mark him out of the list of assistance."


    Mrs. Wang nodded, and the manager immediately invited the mother and son out, and ordered someone to take care of him and went to find the man from the family in person.


    Mrs. Wang invited Xin''an to sit down and have tea, and said earnestly, "It is hard for them to hold a grudge against you like this, and it is useless to your reputation. If they make trouble in the Marquis'' Mansion again, you."


    After spending so many days together, she still knows Xin''an, afraid that she will suffer a loss because of this.


    Xin''an put down the teacup, "Madam is too worried."


    "It''s the most ruthless to these people. I guess this is not the first one to come to you, right?"
