Chapter 164: House Construction in Progress
When the five people heard this, they looked at each other and really blocked the doorway.
The boy, about seventeen or eighteen years old, took a step forward, prompting others to take action and stop standing stupidly at the door.
The little girl who was waved by Liu Xiangqin to come over walked over tremblingly, her expression showing fear and a fleeting glimmer of expectation and hope.
The little girl was named Xiaoqi. She was the seventh child in the family, so she was given this name.
Apart from her, all the older people in the family are sisters.
She was not the first in her family to be sold, nor would she be the last.
Growing up, she witnessed her sisters being sold one after another, and she knew her fate.
When fate actually happens, she will still be afraid.
She was happy when she knew she was sold thousands of miles away from home.
After working in the dental clinic for three months without selling anything, and because of the lack of communication with other people, she felt inferior.
Looking up at Liu Xiangqin, she felt very nervous.
She had never felt warmth before, but at this moment, Xiaoqi felt it and her heart felt warm.
Especially Liu Xiangqin, who took the clothes in her hand and tried them on her.
Her tears fell involuntarily.
When Liu Xiangqin saw this, she didn't say anything, but picked out another piece of clothing of the same size but different style.
"Each of you choose two sets of clothes for work, and change into new clothes when you get home."
The four of them were a little shocked, but it was expected.
They were all in the clothing store now, so they naturally understood.
Liu Xiangqin chose and selected, and finally selected five ready-made clothes for Xiaoqi.
She asked the others to choose five pieces as well. The others felt very complicated, but after being persuaded by Madam Cai, they chose five pieces.
In addition to the clothes that the five of them chose, Liu Xiangqin bought all the other clothes from Cai Niangzi's clothing store.
Seeing this, Madam Cai was both happy and helpless.
"Sister, leave a few pieces for me. I just brought the new clothes here yesterday..."
As Madam Cai spoke, she saw Liu Xiangqin pick out ten pieces and put them back on the clothes display rack.
Liu Xiangqin felt a little reluctant. Her desire to buy things had risen today. She couldn't shop happily here with Madam Cai, so she had to go to Madam Han's clothing shop.
The ancient costumes sold very well in modern grocery stores, and many people still haven’t bought any yet and are longing to buy one.
The official account now offers reservations for blind box clothing, all of which are sold without refund or exchange.
Those who want to buy ready-made clothes can make an appointment and indicate their gender.
When it’s your turn in the queue, you can choose whether to pay.
After payment, Modern Grocery Store will send out the blind box clothes within an hour.
Failure to pay will automatically cancel the reservation.
Currently, there are 13,672 people who have made reservations for blind box clothes on the official account.
Neither Mrs. Cai nor Mrs. Han's clothing shops could solve the problem of the quantity of ready-made clothes.
Suddenly, an item appeared in Liu Xiangqin's mind.
If you have this item, it will greatly increase the speed at which the clothing shop produces clothes.
A trace of regret flashed through my mind, wondering why I didn't think of it earlier.
Madam Cai packed all the finished clothes and handed them to Xiaoqi and others.
"Sister Cai." Liu Xiangqin called Madam Cai, "Would you be free tomorrow morning to bring someone to my grocery store and sit for a while?"
Madam Cai's eyes turned, and she immediately understood and nodded.
"Okay, tomorrow morning, I'll go sit with you for a while."
Madam Cai understood that she had to bring people and money tomorrow.
Enough money.
I heard that no one who went to Liu Xiangqin's grocery store would return empty-handed, and the purse filled with money would become empty.
Liu Xiangqin left Madam Cai's clothing shop and went to Madam Han's clothing shop again. She only had ten pieces of clothing left after "plundering" them, and bought all the rest.
After leaving Baisha Town, Liu Xiangqin looked towards the provincial capital.
Choose a time and go to the clothing store in the provincial capital.
For the sake of business in the store, she has to restock the stock like crazy!
Liu Xiangqin took Xiaoqi and four others and walked back to Fangzi Village.
The villagers standing at the entrance of Fangzi Village watching TV saw Liu Xiangqin bringing five people back. They stopped watching TV and came over to look at her curiously.
The villagers who were standing still took out the melon seeds they bought from the Celery Grocery Store from their pockets.
"Where did you bring these people back from? They all look so dirty, and their lives are pretty ordinary."
"It must be a dentistry shop! Looking at his appearance, it would be strange if he didn't come from a dentistry shop!"
"With Xiangqin's grocery store, people within a ten-mile radius are living a good life. People like him can only be pawnbrokers."
"Although what you said may not sound nice, it makes sense. Everyone's life is getting better and better because of Xiangqin's grocery store."
"Oh, I'm so envious. I have money to buy people and have people to serve me. It's so nice~"
"Auntie Wang, you have so many people in your family, you must make a lot of money, right? I heard that buying a person is not expensive. You can buy one for one tael of silver."
"Who told you that? It'll cost at least five taels of silver. You can't buy anything good with that one tael."
"Forget it, forget it. I don't have enough money at home, so I'm not going to buy it. If I buy it, I'll have to keep it."
The woman standing behind Liu Xiangqin and following silently was named Song Songzi. When she heard the villagers discussing the matter of one or two taels of silver, her heart skipped a beat and her head started buzzing.
Others lowered their heads, not daring to look straight ahead, but only looking at the feet of the crowd.
"Shopkeeper Liu, is it expensive to buy people?"
"Is it okay to buy these people and serve them? I feel like they'll have a good life~"
Liu Xiangqin raised the corners of her mouth slightly and smiled in response to the villagers' questions.
"Based on everyone's current income, the price of buying a person isn't that expensive. There are quite a lot of things involved. If you want to make your life better, you can try hiring temporary or permanent workers to help with the work."
Liu Xiangqin did not give a direct answer to the question of whether she would serve him or not.
"Oh, everyone around here knows they can make more money here. No one wants to do odd jobs here," said the villager.
"We'll know if we try it. Spread the news and we'll know whether they've looked for it or not," said another villager.
Liu Xiangqin no longer paid attention to the villagers who were gathering at the village entrance, and took the five people towards the Xiangqin Grocery Store.
Fifty meters away from the Xiangqin Grocery Store, there is a new house.
This was newly built by Liu Xiangqin as she was bored these days.
She noticed that more and more outsiders came to Fangzi Village recently, and many outsiders stayed in the villagers' homes in order to avoid traveling back and forth.
Liu Xiangqin built ten new houses on the residential land she had already purchased.
All nine rooms were rented out, and Liu Xiangqin left the remaining one for the five people who bought it today.
The man went to live in the same room with the coachman.
Female, please live in the new room.
Liu Xiangqin took them to the door and briefly introduced the facilities in the house. She asked them to make their own arrangements today and clean themselves up.
If there is anything, we can talk about it tomorrow.
The ready-made clothes they were carrying were put into the warehouse of Xiangqin Grocery Store by Liu Zhouyi and Li Huoyi.
