Chapter 188: Trouble-seeking people come to your door
"However, if we can open one grocery store, can't we open two grocery stores?" Zhao Shiying grinned.
Then he looked towards the grocery store thoughtfully.
After most people had left, the three of them entered the grocery store.
I saw that most of the items on the grocery store shelves were missing.
Some were still full, and Zhao Shiying observed them carefully.
"Brother Wang Mian, you have to make a reserve of the best-selling items in the store in advance. You can't have any shortages. As long as you can keep them, you should stock up more. I also want to praise you for running the grocery store very well. I've been watching it for so long, but I didn't see any dust. Do you wipe and clean it every day?" Zhao Shiying asked.
"Yes, otherwise it will easily accumulate dust. Although I don't wipe it every day, I will wipe it every other day. The floor is swept every day." Wang Mian nodded.
"Well, very good, keep it up." Zhao Shiying nodded. She saw Wang Mian's intentions.
When there were no more people around, Wang Mian took out the account book and handed it to Zhao Shisheng.
"This is the account book. Because of the snow this month, the store was closed for several days. You can just deduct some money from me when the time comes. I have already calculated the sales of other goods and the daily profit." Wang Mian said.
"Okay, let's take a look." Zhao Shisheng nodded.
Zhao Shiying and Zhao Shihui also watched along.
"The accounts are very detailed." Zhao Shisheng praised after reading them.
To be honest, he didn't know how to do accounting, but when he saw what Wang Mian did, he learned a lot.
"Well, it's really well done, but I have a suggestion." Zhao Shiying nodded.
Wang Mian looked puzzled. What's your opinion?
"Please say!"
"You have written down the daily profit, and you can also calculate the monthly income, so it will be clear at a glance." Zhao Shiying said.
"That's right, why didn't I think of that?" Wang Mian suddenly remembered the goodness of this suggestion and smiled immediately.
"You've done a great job." Zhao Shiying said sincerely. After all, if she was asked to do it, she really couldn't do it, but she could find out the deficiencies and fill in the gaps.
Wang Mian was a little shy. He was very happy inside when he was praised, but it was hard to describe the feeling of being praised by a three-year-old baby.
At this time, Wang Haiming brought a jar of preserved eggs.
"Have all the preserved eggs been sold out today?" Wang Haiming asked Wang Mian.
"There are still a few left. You sent them just in time." Wang Mian took it with a smile.
"Okay. By the way, you should go home for dinner on time in the evening and rest early. They have classes tomorrow. If the weather is good this time, the classes will probably be over the New Year and there will be no day off. All the previous courses need to be made up, so you may be a little busy. Wang Mian, I'll leave the grocery store here to you." Wang Haiming said.
"Yes, Master Wang, rest assured, I will definitely do my best." Wang Mian said with a smile.
Wang Haiming nodded, then turned and left. He had nothing to worry about leaving the children here.
At this time, a young man came to the grocery store with a five-year-old baby.
"Uncle, what do you have for sale here? It's not as good as the ones in the county." The little girl looked down on this place.
"You don't understand. The preserved eggs you like are bought here. I will buy as many as you want this time. I guarantee you will be satisfied." said the young man.
"Oh, so you bought it here." The little girl stopped talking and looked at the grocery store with her round eyes. When she saw Zhao Shiying, she just looked at her curiously for a few more times, then snorted with her nose up.
"I want to buy ten preserved eggs." The little girl said to Wang Mian after looking around.
"Ten preserved eggs for a hundred coins." Wang Mian couldn't help but take a second look at the two of them. How dare the two kids buy so much.
At this time, another villager came in to pick something.
"I guess you two guests cannot finish the ten preserved eggs you want in one meal. Why don't you buy five and try them at home? If you have too many, it will be difficult for you to carry them and they will break easily if they fall to the ground." Wang Mian kindly reminded.
After all, although the one looked like a young man, he was as tall as him, and the little girl was even younger, probably around five years old.
If two people carry ten and accidentally drop one on the ground, the loss would be huge.
Wang Mian gave this reminder out of consideration for their own good.
But I didn't expect the other party would not appreciate it.
"Who are you looking down on? It's just ten eggs. How can I not get them? Stop fooling around. Are you going to sell them to me or not?" The little girl was very domineering and looked at Wang Mian with disdain.
What could Wang Mian say? How could he possibly go against money?
"I'm selling it. I'm just reminding you kindly. Here, one hundred coins and I'll give you ten eggs." Wang Mian handed the eggs to the young man with a smile, and kindly wrapped them in a lotus leaf and tied them up to prevent them from falling.
Zhao Shiying and others thought that Wang Mian was very careful in his work.
"Thank you, here's a hundred cents." The young man nodded.
Wang Mian took the money.
"Hey, you two kids bought so many preserved eggs. They are not cheap." The villagers who were selecting things earlier came over now.
"What's it to you?" the little girl snorted and ran away.
The villagers frowned and said, "Who is this girl? I've never seen her before. She doesn't know how to be polite."
"Hehe~~~I don't know either, Uncle Wang. It's eight cents in total." Wang Mian replied with a smile.
"Well, the child who came with him is Old Chen's family. She must be his daughter's child. The little girl has a bad temper." Uncle Wang paid the money and left, shaking his head as he walked.
It was just a minor incident and no one took it seriously.
Then, less than a quarter of an hour later, someone came to the grocery store cursing.
"What's wrong with your grocery store? Are you always bullying people?" Chen Youzhu came to the grocery store while holding the little girl's hand and cursing.
"Who is the owner of your grocery store? Come out and speak up. It's unreasonable. This is really too much. You have to pay me compensation." Chen Youzhu said.
"I'm the shopkeeper, tell me what you have to say," Zhao Shisheng said.
They were just about to close the shop and go home for dinner, but this guy came unexpectedly and they didn't know why.
Zhao Shisheng spoke before Zhao Shiying did, because he was afraid that this woman would attack his younger sister. Seeing her aggressiveness, Zhao Shisheng frowned.
Zhao Shihui and Zhao Shiying also frowned as they looked at the person and the little girl in front of them.
"You? How can a child be the shopkeeper? Ask your parents to come out and talk." Chen Youzhu frowned.
