Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 142: 23 Things in the County

When they got back to the city, the store was closed and everyone was cleaning the store. Song Sanniang distributed eggs from her home to everyone, and everyone thought they were delicious.

The four mothers were so excited that they jumped up and down to pick up eggs. They regretted that they did not go home to visit their grandparents when they went back home, and missed the opportunity to pick up eggs, which made everyone laugh.

"Sister, when can we go home again? I want to go back and pick up eggs." Si Niang pulled Song San Niang's clothes and said,

"I want one too, I want one too." Wu Niang also shouted.

"Okay, okay, let's wait a few days. When the shops in the county town open, we will go home and let you pick up eggs." Song Sanniang said. The two of them clapped their hands happily when they heard it.

Song Sanniang told Aunt Cuihua about letting her family work in the county store. Aunt Cuihua was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. Thinking that she could make money and see her children every day, she couldn't stop smiling.

Then Song Sanniang told Niu Laosan that she had invited Niu Laoda and his wife to work in the branch store in the county. Niu Laosan and his wife were also very happy. Originally, the couple went back twice a month to visit their eldest brother and his family.

Now they know that the two are working in the county town and they know everyone in the store, so they can also look after their eldest brother. They think that they can take the children to visit the provincial capital next time they have a break.

Three days passed in a flash, and Song Laoer and his daughter were going back to the county town. After returning to the county town, Song Sanniang first went to the furniture store and asked the shopkeeper to arrange for the delivery.

The shopkeeper had arranged all the goods and was waiting for her to come. After checking that there were no problems, Song Sanniang paid the balance, and the shopkeeper was ready to arrange for someone to deliver the goods to her door.

Since there were only Qin Haodong and three other people living in the store, there was no need to buy bunk beds from Master Tan.

Song Sanniang ordered two more beds from the shopkeeper, as well as a wardrobe, a dressing table, and chairs for the room.

The shopkeeper's smile never stopped. All these were in stock, so he sent them all together. This store only had two delivery trucks, so it took several trips to deliver all the items.

The workers who were carrying the luggage arranged the tables and chairs according to Song Sanniang's instructions and left. Song Sanniang also gave them ten coins as a reward.

Seeing that the shops were no longer empty, Song Sanniang was finally satisfied. The county town was different from the prefectural city. The prefectural city did not have a curfew, but the county town did.

Although Song Sanniang didn't understand why, this saved the trouble of custom-making lanterns. The plaque would be made by the master in the city, and it had to be the same as the one in the city. Qin Haodong and the others would bring it when they arrived tomorrow.

Then the father and daughter went to get the tableware and charcoal stove that they had ordered before. The preparations in the store were almost done. It was still early, and the father and daughter did not wait until tomorrow, so they cleaned the store.

The next day, Qin Haodong and his two companions, Aunt Cuihua and the other two, along with Si Niang and Wu Niang, came to the store with bags of all kinds. Qin Haodong and his companions put their things away first.

Then Qin Haodong and Song Laoer borrowed a ladder to hang up the plaque and covered it with a red cloth. Song Dazhi had already brought Gancao and his group over.

Song Sanniang decided to be a hands-off manager. She was responsible for taking care of Si Niang and the other two, and let Qin Haodong make arrangements. Because she had done enough, it all depended on how Qin Haodong, the manager, would make arrangements.

What we need to do in the next two days is to find suppliers of various ingredients, prepare the ingredients in the kitchen in advance, publicize the news of the store opening, and arrange work for everyone in the store.

Song Sanniang found Qin Haodong and said, "I'll leave the store to you now. You make arrangements in the next few days. I'll send out the opening invitations to everyone. We'll open on time in three days. Is that ok?"

Qin Haodong thought about all the work and felt that he could do it, so he gave Song Sanniang a very positive reply. Song Sanniang felt that if this was the case, she would be able to relax a little in the future.

Qin Haodong's previous salary was half of the store's income. Now that he has been transferred back to the county, the store's income must have decreased, so his salary is only 10% of the store's income.

Qin Haodong had quite a lot of work to do in Fucheng before. In addition to keeping accounts and cashiering at the counter and making small dishes, he was also responsible for arranging the purchase of ingredients for the store.

In addition, he is the one who picks up and drops off Song Sanniang when she goes out, and he handles many miscellaneous matters. Song Sanniang believes that he can definitely do a good job in the county town.

Song Sanniang said she really didn't care about anything. She found someone to write an invitation. During the time she was selling sugar-water mooncakes in the county town, she really got to know a lot of people. Although she didn't know whether they would come, she wanted to invite them all.

In addition to Miss He's uncle and nephew, there were also the shopkeeper Yan, the broker Li Du, the coachman Master Huang, the three yamen runners from the East Market, the village chief Song, the village chief, the fourth uncle, my own grandfather, and my eldest uncle went to collect grain, so I could only ask my grandfather to come alone.

Originally, she wanted to invite He Caimai, but since he had invited two masters, He Caimai's status was not appropriate, so she had to give up.

She didn't take a car, but wandered around by herself, delivering the invitations to the county town one by one.

The nearest one was Shopkeeper Yan, who promised to go and show his support. Then it was the He Family Mansion. She didn't go in, but asked the doorman to pass it in.

After she visited every household, everyone was very polite and agreed to go, so her mission was accomplished.

When they returned to the store, Qin Haodong had already arranged everyone's work. The division of labor was not much different from what Song Sanniang had said before. Song Sanniang said she would not care about it, so she took Si Niang and the other two back to the village.

When Si Niang and her partner got home, they couldn't wait to pick up the eggs. Song San Niang ignored them and went to deliver the invitations herself. She went to her grandparents' house first.

When the grandfather and grandma saw her coming back, they were both happy and worried.

"Why are you back again? What's going on in the store?" Grandfather Liu asked.

"It's okay. We've been traveling back and forth between the village and the county recently. The store will open in three days. Please come and have some fun." After saying that, she took out the invitation and gave it to Grandpa Liu.

Grandfather Liu looked at it and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, of course I will go to this happy event."

Grandma Chen didn't want to join in the fun. "I won't go. I'll stay at home with Xiaoxi."

Song Sanniang persuaded her to bring her little cousin along to join in the fun, but Grandma Chen refused and insisted on staying at home, so Song Sanniang had no choice but to give up.

She then went to the village chief's house and the fourth uncle's house. The two of them felt strange at first when they saw Song Sanniang coming, but they smiled from ear to ear when they received the invitation.

The villagers are promising. No matter what other people in the village think, they are happy. Moreover, they are invited to the grand opening, which makes them feel very proud.

The two of them agreed, but Song Sanniang was a little worried about Fourth Uncle's health. Fourth Uncle's eldest son came up and said that he would take good care of his father, and Song Sanniang felt relieved.

Finally, Song Sanniang arrived at the home of the Song clan leader. After she explained her purpose, the old man took the note and read it again and again, muttering "not bad, not bad" to himself. Song Sanniang smiled and chatted with him for a while before being pulled to her room by Song Zuling.

"The store is opening, do you want to join in the fun?" Song Sanniang asked.

Song Zuling shook his head and nodded, so Song Sanniang asked, "What do you mean?"

Song Zuling pouted depressedly, "I want to go, but I can't. My family has arranged a marriage for me. I can only wander around the village. My mother won't let me go out casually."

Song Sanniang then realized that she was engaged, "Why didn't you tell me in the letter that you were engaged?"

Song Zuling was originally sitting on the bed. Hearing this, he fell back and lay on the bed. "I sent you a letter the day before yesterday. You came back, so of course you didn't receive my letter."

Song Sanniang then asked, "Are you unhappy because of your engagement?"

Song Zuling shook her head and said, "I already knew who I was going to marry, and I was mentally prepared.

I'm just not happy that I can't go out as I please when I've barely been out. I hope I can go out more often after I get married."

Song Sanniang didn't know what to say, because she was different from them, she was too free, so she asked again, she felt that the Song clan leader was not someone who would not let Song Zuling go out,

As expected, the person who didn't let Song Zuling go out was her mother, Xiao Liu, because she felt that the man Song Zuling was engaged to was a scholar.

Scholars like quiet girls. She felt that not letting Song Zuling go was for her own good, and it was not easy for Song Zuling to disobey her mother's order.

Song Sanniang couldn't help at the moment, so she could only comfort Song Zuling with a few words before leaving and returning home.
