Chapter 213 Wang makes money (1)
After arriving in the capital, she discovered that how many of the officials in the imperial court did not have shops or shops?
Without the additional income from these stores to support them, would they have the money to pave the way?
Can their mansion support so many people?
Don't talk about far away, let's talk about Cheng Qianqian.
After she married the third child, didn't she still manage a dozen shops?
And Su Tieniu, if he doesn't go out to work and has no money, how can he find that woman outside?
Watch as you walk.
When I saw people selling steamed buns, they could only earn one or two cents per steamed bun.
She works from dawn to dusk every day. How many buns do she have to sell in a day to be enough for her to go to the Elephant Aunt House?
No, no, we can't do this.
Wang shook her head and looked at another store.
It was a shop selling cloth, and there were quite a few female customers coming in and out.
It seems that the business of selling cloth is okay, but...
Wang took a look inside. The store was spacious, and there were at least dozens of kinds of cloths on the shelves.
All of these have costs, right? Do you need a hundred taels to open a shop like this?
She really didn't know this.
Also, if she was asked to open such a cloth-selling shop, she would have to purchase the goods herself, right?
Where is this going to come in? She doesn't understand either.
Wang shook her head, she couldn't do this either.
I remembered that in Sujia Village, they used to draw lots from each house to take turns selling soap in the town.
I think selling soap is not a bad idea. The soap I often sell is much more valuable than what was sold in their town at that time.
No store can sell the same things as before, it’s just...
Considering the old lady and Su Qiumei's urinary nature, it would be strange to give her the soap recipe.
She didn't want to work for them in vain. Forget it, she couldn't do this.
From the street to the end of the street, and from the end of the street to the street, there are all kinds of shops.
It seemed that there was no one suitable for her.
"Oh, isn't this Miss Wang? Are you shopping alone?"
While Mr. Wang was worrying about what kind of business he should do to make money, a voice sounded from behind him.
Wang turned around and saw, is this a coincidence?
Isn't this the woman who took the initiative to strike up a conversation with her at the Elephant Aunt House yesterday?
"Yes! Yes!" Wang opened her mouth and nodded.
"Oh, what's the point of wandering alone? Why don't you come over to my place first?
In the afternoon, we will go to the place yesterday. "
After the woman finished speaking, she winked at her.
Of course Wang knew that yesterday's place was referring to yesterday's Elephant House.
"Haha... still not." Wang smiled reluctantly.
It's not that she doesn't want to go, it's that the money on her body prevents her from going.
"Hi! What's up? I've made appointments with several sisters. It's more fun when there are more people."
"But...but..." She couldn't say this because she didn't have any money.
"What can't be done? Sister, let me tell you the truth.
If you don't go now, you won't be able to go when you get old. You can only watch the men in your family go looking for women outside every day.
Will you feel uncomfortable then?
If you did the same thing as them when you were young.
By then, your man will go out to find another woman.
Do you still feel uncomfortable?
We women are different from men. When a man gets old, he can find a sixteen-year-old and still have children! "
"Sister Qiu, you are right.
But now...now I don't...don't..."
Mrs. Wang looked embarrassed.
"Since you think my sister is right, then go ahead. Is there anything else that prevents you from going?"
The woman thought for a moment and slapped herself on the head:
"Ouch! Do you think I'm so confused? Sister Wang, are you talking about silver?"
When she said this, the woman did not feel that Mr. Wang could not go there because she had no money, so she showed contempt for her.
Instead, he looked like he was too careless to think of this.
"I know, I know, if you use your family's money to go to a place like that, the men in your family will definitely ask questions.
We sisters never use our family money to go to places like that. "
"Then...then where do you usually go to find money?"
Wang became more energetic and asked shamelessly.
You can make money by being thick-skinned, and she can make it thick enough.
"Let's go, sister, I'll take you to open your eyes." After the woman said that, she stretched out her hand to pull Wang away.
At this time, Mr. Wang really wanted to make money right away.
Being pulled away by the woman, she followed suit.
After twisting and turning, I finally stopped in a small alley.
Wang followed the woman into a room.
This house doesn't look big from the outside, but when you walk in, you realize that there is something special inside.
After walking through a long corridor, Wang heard various shouts coming from inside.
What's big and what's small?
Wang became more and more curious, wondering what the people inside were doing?
"Sister Qiu, what kind of work do you usually do here? Is it hard?"
"Don't worry, it's not hard at all."
As the two of them talked, they had already walked inside.
I have never eaten pork and I have seen pigs running away.
Mrs. Wang saw a group of people standing around and shouting, big and small.
She put her feet up and stretched her neck to look, and then she realized that these people were gambling.
"Sister Qiu, they... are gambling."
Even if she has no ability, she still knows that gambling is not a good thing, and many people have lost their families because of this.
She wanted to make money, but she never thought about ruining her family for money.
"Sister Wang, are you afraid of this?"
"Well! If I can make money from this, then I'd better leave."
Wang nodded, turned around and wanted to leave.
"Hey, sister, wait a minute."
The woman grabbed Wang, her eyes twinkling.
"Who said I brought you here to gamble? Where did you want to go? Don't you know that getting involved in this thing will harm yourself?"
"That……"
Wang was extremely confused.
"People who gamble most believe in things like luck, do you understand?"
"..." Wang nodded, this is true.
She had heard that before gambling, some people would wash their bodies and hands and burn incense before serving it to the table!
“People here believe that those who don’t gamble have the best luck.
Our job is not about gambling.
Instead, we just sit next to them and let them enjoy our luck.
My sisters and I do this kind of work. We don’t have to do anything, let alone gamble.
If they win the bet, they will reward us with more money when they are happy.
Even if we lose, we have to pay our wages. You said it’s so easy. Where can you find such a good job? "
"Is there really such a job?"
When Wang heard what the woman said, she was very moved.
But she had never heard of this kind of work.
However, this is the capital city and there are people of all kinds, so it shouldn’t be unusual to have such a job, right?
"Why not? Now, Sister Qiu, don't I just bring you to do this kind of work?
Look at that sister, isn't she sitting there trying to bring luck to others? "
