Seeking Happiness Chapter 168: False alarm

The newly hired guy was honestly overdoing it. Indeed, as the shopkeeper of the tailor’s shop said, he didn’t attract business very much, but Shu Huan found that he had a good memory, and he would never sell anything at any price. Forget it and don’t confuse it, so she thought of a way to put a sensational background story for every item on sale in the shop, and let the guy write it down, so that when a customer came, she could tell People listen.

Of course, you don’t need to go into the background stories. Some are stories that Shu Huan has seen before, and some are made up by her. She just wants to be touching, not truthful. After all, she sells stone paintings. Like antiques, people buy them back to collect and play. With the background story, these things have a soul and can evoke people's purchase.

The shops are all dyed ink, and there are ready-made shelves inside. I hired a guy, put the painting stones to be sold on the shelves, and the paintings to be sold on the wall, and then hang a sign to open it. From this point on Said that Shu Huan’s shop is really easy to open, and it’s not difficult to keep accounts. Copy a copy of the items to be sold, and keep a sum of money for what you sell. She gave this job to the literacy appreciation.

She also inquired about tax money. For those who set up shops and sell things like her, they are taxed 30 for every thousand dollars in income. However, the procedures are complicated, and it is not an easy task to stamp and seal the relevant government office. Fortunately, there was nothing else at hand, so she ran a round with appreciation, put all the necessary procedures in place, and pointed and remembered clearly, then she can be lazy and let go of business matters in the future. The good name is that whether it is an officialdom or a shopping mall, successful people must know how to know and employ people, otherwise, there will be a clone method and they will be too busy.

After listening to this, Meijing couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile: "I think you said that because you hate accounting?"

Shu Huan glanced at her: "You can say it more reservedly, you don't need to be so blunt."

She really hates accounting, and she hates dealing with the bureaucratic uncles in the yamen.

In a word, the needlework man who was beside him laughed, and then he came in from the outside holding the account book in a man's suit.

Shu Huan asked her: "How is the business, and what are you selling?"

She shook her head appreciatively, afraid of her disappointment, and hurriedly said: "Don't be anxious, isn't the shop just opened for three days? Yesterday, I sold a set of painting stones and got three taels of silver. If you can sell three or five sets of painting stones, it will be enough to spend."

Shu Huan is not in a hurry. She even had the mental preparation that one thing could not be sold. After all, not many people are willing to spend a lot of money to buy those painting stones that cannot be used, not to mention the location of the shop is not good. Very inconspicuous, now I can sell things, thank God, let’s talk about the shop that Ji Danqing rented out, and yesterday there was an old servant from Ji’s family who talked back and forth. Some people asked for it. The rent was set for January 12 taels. This money is enough for her to spend every month, so it doesn’t matter if the shop she owns makes money or not. It can be regarded as a pastime in her leisure time. The money earned every month is enough to cover taxes and pay her coworkers’ wages. .

Only when this head was talking, the dog in the yard suddenly barked.

The beauty patted his forehead and said: "I forgot to feed the dog"

Speaking and begging: "Good morning, you accompany me, the dog is too fierce, I am a little scared."

Liangchen usually talks very well, so he put down the needle and thread in his hand and followed her out.

Shu Huan didn’t pay attention to them either, she just lowered her head to think about her own affairs. She felt that the five thousand taels of silver left in her hand was a waste, so she might as well want to collect a few more shops to be a renter, so she rented out. , Even if you don’t do anything, you should have one hundred taels of silver in your account every month. It’s better to accumulate less than to put it in your hands. Even if it’s time to spend money, you can sell the shop. , Is a cash income...

She was thinking about it. Suddenly the tea bowl placed on the table trembled and clinked with the teapot. Then the table shook twice, the dog barked louder, and the scenery exclaimed. There was a sound, and then there was a knock. I don't know what was broken on the ground.

This is--

Shu Huan stood up abruptly, and met Xiangxin's slightly panicked look.

"Earthquake"

Only when she finished speaking, she felt that the ground under her feet became stable again, and the hand-held table no longer trembled, but Liangchen and Jingjing ran in in a panic, and the four of them looked at each other for a moment.

It took a long time for Shu Huan to come back to her senses, and asked gently: "What's smashed?"

The voice of the beautiful scenery is a little fluttering: "No... just two tiles slipped down from the eaves... Girl, that was just..."

"Don't panic." Shu Huan calmed her: "It's just a small earthquake, it doesn't matter."

That's what she said, but she herself was a little frightened, and immediately dispelled the plan to buy more shop to make money.

When dyeing ink is not here, she is not familiar with the world, nor does she understand business matters at all. It is easy to be deceived when buying a store. The most important thing is who can guarantee that there will be no natural disasters? Besides, she didn't have much ambition, she didn't want to be prosperous and wealthy. As long as she could spend her life safely, and the income was enough for food and clothing, she would be satisfied with a little surplus. Therefore, it was safer to hold those banknotes in her own hands.

After drinking two sips of hot tea, I was pressed down, feeling relieved, and Shu Huan went out to check, and saw that the dog that had just barked incessantly had calmed down at this moment, lying there, wagging his tail and gnawing at bones, if not for those two The shattered tiles that had slipped from the eaves were still scattered on the ground, and she almost regarded the shaking as her own illusion.

After a while, panicked conversations of neighbors floated outside the courtyard wall, and some people were yelling their children's names to call them home. It sounded very noisy.

"You--" Shu Huan turned her head and exhorted: "Next time you encounter something like this~IndoMTL.com~, stay outside the house, or run into the open space, and hide if there is no time to run. On the side of the strong wooden cabinet."

She said it solemnly, and the maids didn't dare to be careless, they all remembered it firmly, and they answered.

When Shu Huan returned to the house, she was still a little restless. She knew that an earthquake was a normal crustal movement and would not cause any superstitious panic. She was panicked not knowing whether the earthquake was the main shock of the smaller magnitude or the main one. The foreshock before the earthquake occurred, so the more I thought about it, the more restless I became.

Liangchen was careful and noticed the panic hidden under her surface calmness, and asked: "What is the girl worried about?"

Shu Huan can’t answer, she’s just worried. It’s very likely that she is scaring herself, so why bother to let others worry about it? However, she remembered that the residents in the earthquake-prone areas always have an escape kit, and when necessary, she can go out with one hand. Should she also prepare one? Even if it is not earthquake-proof, it can also be used to prevent natural disasters and fires.

It's a good habit to just do it when you think about it. Shu Huan once again stabilized her mind and said: "Beautiful, get the needle and thread."
