Chapter 144 Opening Day
Chapter 144 Opening Day
After returning to the county town, Song Sanniang first went to the pawnshop to order a luxury carriage, and asked the driver to go to Songjia Village to pick up a few old men to the store the next day, and then she returned to the store.
When I returned to the store, it had changed a lot. A plaque covered with red cloth was hung at the door, new couplets were posted on both sides of the door, calligraphy and paintings were hung in some corners, and green plants were placed in some corners. The store had a brand new feeling.
The four women hadn't seen Qin Haoxi for a few days, so they pulled him aside and whispered to each other.
Song Sanniang saw that only Niu Laoda and his wife were in the store, so she asked where everyone had gone. Gancao told her that everyone had gone to the street to distribute flyers.
Song Sanniang found it funny when she heard it, and she guessed that handing out flyers for new store openings would become a sweet tradition in the future.
Because Qin Haodong and two other people were staying in the store now, Song Sanniang went to the inn where Song Laoer was staying and booked a room. The store should open early tomorrow, so she would not go back to the village. It was more convenient to live in the county town.
In the evening, Song Dazhi picked up Song Zuren and came to the store to wait for Aunt Cuihua and the others to go back to the village.
Song Zuren chatted with Song Sanniang for a while, tested her homework, and finally praised her for her progress.
Although Song Sanniang felt that she was an adult in her heart and felt a little strange being praised by a little boy, she was still quite happy to be praised.
Everyone came back one after another, and they were all talking happily. It was obvious that the distribution of flyers went smoothly. Those who wanted to return to the village did not delay, and they all got on the car and went back to the village.
Qin Haodong and his sister discussed the opening procedures for the next day with Song Sanniang and her daughter. Finally, they felt that there were no problems, so Song Sanniang and her friends returned to the inn before curfew.
The next morning, everyone showed up at the store, wearing the same uniforms as the Fucheng store.
Aunt Cuihua and other old employees already had clothes, so they prepared new ones for Boss Song and Gancao.
Gancao and Niu Laoda had a lot of fun when they were at home. Gancao could wear the same clothes for several years at home, even if he grew taller and they no longer fit him.
When I married into the Niu family, the betrothal gift included two sets of new clothes. Now I have a job and can earn money, and I can also get clothes.
She still likes the new clothes she got, even though they are the same as others, but she doesn't mind at all.
Niu Lao Da is a child at heart. He feels like it's Chinese New Year when he gets new clothes.
After two or three days, with the guidance of the old employees, the newcomers became familiar with the store's affairs and were very clear about what they had to do. Needless to say, everyone took their positions and started working when they arrived at the store.
While everyone was busy, a horse-drawn carriage rumbled into the village. The villagers who saw it looked at it curiously. The carriage stopped, and the driver asked the villagers, and then went to the fourth uncle's house.
The fourth uncle knew that the second son of the Song family had specially called a carriage to pick him up. He smiled and showed his missing front tooth. He let his eldest son help him into the carriage.
The driver asked the fourth uncle and his family, and then picked up the village chief, Grandfather Liu, and Clan Chief Song in the village according to their distance and drove to the county town. The old men were chatting animatedly in the car.
At this time, the sweet door was opened. Everyone was ready and just waiting for someone to come.
From time to time, passers-by looked around the shop curiously. Qin Haodong gave wedding candies to nearby merchants in advance.
The things sold by the nearby merchants are different from those sold by Tian Mi Mi, so everyone also gave some small things and then went into the store to take a look.
At this time, the village horse-drawn carriage carrying the old men arrived. Song Laoer and his men hurried to greet them, helped them out of the carriage, agreed with the coachman on the approximate time of return, and the carriage left.
At this time, Yan the shopkeeper and Li Du also came. They both brought gifts. The old men also brought gifts such as ornaments, calligraphy and paintings, and red envelopes.
After welcoming them into the store and sitting them down, three yamen runners also came. They had exchanged shifts with other colleagues. All three of them were directly wrapped in red envelopes. Song Laoer and his daughter also warmly invited them to come into the store and sit down.
Miss He and Mr. He San also came. Their arrival obviously made the atmosphere inside and outside the store quieter, but the two were used to it and didn't care.
Miss He smiled and said to Song Sanniang, "My uncle and I have prepared a big gift for you. I'm sure you will like it."
Song Sanniang couldn't help but become curious when she heard this, so she asked, "What is the gift?"
Master He San smiled with his thin lips and said jokingly, "A gift thicker than my eldest niece's thigh."
Song Sanniang almost couldn't help laughing. Miss He patted Master He San's shoulder unhappily and said, "This matter can't be resolved, right?"
Mr. He San ignored Miss He's words and shouted, "Xiao Jinzi, bring the gift here."
Xiao Jinzi sighed and walked forward. He held a scroll in his hand. He handed the scroll to Master He San.
Master He San took the scroll and said with a bit of pride, "Little girl, look carefully." After that, he opened the scroll.
As soon as the scroll was unrolled, some knowledgeable people in the crowd shouted, "That's Mr. He's handwriting. That's Mr. He's handwriting."
The scroll only has four vigorous characters: "Business is booming", and the signature is "He Zhenren".
Song Sanniang only thought that the calligraphy was really beautiful, and others said it was written by Mr. He. How did they know that?
Song Sanniang was full of questions about why the signature was He Zhenren, but she couldn't ask now, so she decided to ask Miss He quietly later.
Master He San waved the scroll in front of Song Sanniang, "Hang it well. Jun Jie and I spent a lot of effort to get it from the old man. This is to repay you for the gift you sent us."
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that the people in this store had such a good relationship with the He family and even asked for Mr. He's writing.
