Chapter 263 Sold out
Chapter 263 Sold out
Xia Wanniang looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were pounding their waists and legs and said, "Why don't we take a rest for two days?"
"No." The three of them said in unison. If they took a break, how much would they lose for the day?
Xia Wanniang looked at the three helplessly: "Even if you don't rest, you won't be able to sell tomorrow morning. I have something to do today and can't go back. The earliest I can go is noon."
Mrs. Qi was helpless: "Then take a half-day break. I'll ask the guys to go and transport the goods in the afternoon."
Xia Wanniang nodded in agreement, and when she came down from the second floor, she met many women blocking the stairs.
"Ma'am, are all the above sold out?"
Xia Wanniang nodded: "It's sold out. We won't be able to resume business until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest."
"If I had known, I would have come earlier." A group of people left in disappointment.
Xia Wanniang went to Qianxi Pavilion, and the business of the store was very stable. Jiao Shi managed the store very well, so she didn't have to worry about it: "Sister Yin."
Jiao: "Madam, what's wrong?"
Xia Wanniang: "If I were to open a farm implement store, where would I choose?"
Jiao thought for a moment and said, "I plan to rent a shop."
"Is it possible not to rent a shop?" Xia Wanniang was a little surprised.
Jiao smiled and said, "Generally, farm tools are sold in the large livestock trading area outside the north city, so there are very few people who rent shops to sell farm tools."
Xia Wanniang touched her chin. She would also sell fertilizers and other things in the future, so she would have to open this shop. Otherwise, these things would be useless after being exposed to the rain.
Just as she thought about rain, a flash of lightning appeared in the sky.
Jiao turned to look at the sky outside: "Is it going to rain?"
Xia Wanniang looked outside and saw dark clouds gathering, followed by a loud thunder. The pedestrians on the road were so scared that they looked up, then lowered their heads and ran towards home.
The customers in the store also hurriedly checked out and left quickly with their items.
But after a few moments, there were no customers in the store and it became much darker.
Jiao quickly took down the lantern on the roof and lit the candle inside to make the light in the shop not so dim.
Yin Yuanyuan and Yin Yuanzhang also hurriedly put away the tung oil cloth that was stretched out in front of the store to prevent it from being blown away by strong winds.
"Tick, tick!" Raindrops fell on the ground.
Soon, heavy rain and strong winds came.
Uncle Yin and the others hurried to the shop to help close the shop to prevent rain from entering the shop.
After the shop closed, it became completely dark inside and there was no one on the street.
Xia Wanniang and the others went to the backyard holding oil-paper umbrellas. After walking a short distance, they were mostly soaked by the rain.
Jiao saw that most of her clothes were wet: "Madam, your clothes are all wet. If you don't mind, wear mine first."
"Then please find me some clothes." Xia Wanniang had some in her space, but now she was living under the same roof with Jiao, so it was not easy to take them out.
Jiao smiled and shook her head, then took out a piece of clothing that was 90% new from the closet: "You change first, I'll be guarding you outside." Then she went out with an oil-paper umbrella.
Xia Wanniang did not refuse. She quickly changed her wet clothes and asked Jiao to come in and change her clothes.
Jiao went behind the screen and changed into dry clothes. She looked at the rain outside the window and said, "This is the first rain of the year."
Xia Wanniang turned her head and looked out the window: "It looks like the rain won't stop anytime soon."
Jiao poured her a glass of water and asked, "Did the Third Young Master go to the government office?"
Xia Wanniang nodded. Since she and Xu Li were in the same boat, there was no need to hide it from him.
The rain really did not stop all night. When Xiao Chiye came to pick her up, there were already two people sitting in the carriage.
Xu Li looked at Qingfeng who was sitting opposite him with a very unhappy expression.
Qingfeng didn't know when a folding fan appeared in his hand. He fanned himself from time to time. When he saw her coming up, he nodded and smiled.
Xiao Chiye sat opposite her, and the four of them sat in the carriage. Yifeng turned the horse's head and headed straight for the flower boat wharf in the city.
Xu Li looked at Xia Wanniang, who was wearing women's clothes, and asked, "You're wearing this to go on the flower boat?"
Xiao Chiye took a cloak from the side and put it directly on her, and put the hood on her to cover her figure and appearance.
