《A Path of Business: My Loyal and Lovely Husband》C7. Relaunch Jin’s Meat Shop
Advertisement
“Is this the little beggar?”
“Oh my god, how could he look so pretty!”
“It seems that Jin’s daughter has taken great advantage!"
In the questioning and exclamation of the crowd, Weiwei takes the little beggar to her side and happily kowtows to Heaven and Earth. Then people enjoy themselves freely, and the wedding is finished.
Jin Weiwei orders her guests, who are still unwilling to leave, to go back their homes. Then she swaggers into the house with her groom.
After expelling her stepmother and getting married, Jin Weiwei naturally becomes the shopkeeper of Jin’s Meat Shop.
Jin Weiwei never thought that she could even have a little prestige and position after transcending to this poor village. She has a meat shop, and a modest barn. However, with the squandering of Cao, there are only two weak sheep left to her.
She decides to relaunch Jin’s Meat Shop!
Jin Weiwei begins to make a plan secretly.
Firstly, she’s going to take good care of the only sheep she has now, in order to guarantee the freshness and quality of the source of supply. Then she will try to expand her barn, reducing the cost, to form an integrated system for production, supply and marketing. Later, branching out her meat shop to surrounding villages, she intends to set up serval branch stores.
Money is not everything, but without money one can do nothing. Since she did not transcend into a wealthy family, she will struggle for a comfortable life by herself!
The only two adult sheep she has are enough to support the meat shop open for some day. However, she must buy some lambs as soon as possible, otherwise, the meat shop can hardly open for lack of supply.
The next day happens to be the market day in the town, so Jin Weiwei takes a little bit of money taken from Cao and rushes to the market with the little beggar.
It is a pleasant journey with the beautiful view on the sides of the road, but the little beggar's silence makes Jin Weiwei feels a little bored.

"Hey, little beggar, what's your name? You are my husband now, I can't always call you beggar."
The little beggar ignores her, looks down, and hurries on with his journey.
“Keep silence? Then you mean you don’t have a name, right? Since you belong to me now, let me give you a name.”
“What should I call you?”
Jin Weiwei thinks for a while, considering she is going to become a rich boss with several branch shops, why not call him Rich? Speaking rich every day is a motivation of her goal.
“Yes, Rich, little Rich!”
Jin Weiwei becomes happier and happier, jumps up and gives the little beggar a pat: “Rich! I will call you little Rich from now on.”
Having such a “lucky” name, the little beggar rolls his eyes to Weiwei with no more reactions, and still goes on his way in silence. Weiwei and Rich walk quickly, and soon arrive at the town. Then they hurry to the market.
However, they don’t have too many choices, because there is only one shop for livestock. After consulting, they find in surprise that one lamb costs eight Qian (a monetary unit in Ancient China). “It is too expensive, isn’t it? Cheaper, please!”
Jin Weiwei clenches the money in her hand, and bargains until she feels thirsty. Finally, the seller agrees to sell her lamb at the price of six Qian.
Unfortunately, before Weiwei takes out her money, a silly fat person walks beside her through the crowd.
“Hey, manager, seven Qian, I’ll take all.”
Opponents always meet. Jin Weiwei turns her head and finds the person is her enemy and business competitor---Butcher Feng!
“Shit! How dare you compete with Jin Weiwei!”
Weiwei pushes Feng away and puts her money on the seller’s hand : “ Manager, we have already done our deal, right?”
The seller looks at Feng and then gives Weiwei’s money back with a foxy smile: ” Girl, doing business, money is all.”
Profiteer! Unfaithful!
Jin Weiwei anxiously says: "Manager, you are not a man of honor. No matter how much you sell him, you shouldn’t forget our deal. How can business go without credit?"

The seller smashes his lips: "If you say so, I'll sell you at the price of six. However, you didn't say how many lambs you want. Therefore, I'll only sell you one. I keep my word. Okay?
Cunning, extremally cunning.
Feng smiles, proudly looking at Jin Weiwei, and says to the seller on purpose: “ Don’t waste time. Calculating the price so that I can pay.”
Jin Weiwei hesitates for a while, suddenly makes up her mind and says: “Seven and a half Qian!”
How can she let Feng monopolize the market. Jin Weiwei won’t lose her position, and she must try her best.
Feng immediately sneers: “Don’t bring shame on yourself with no money. Seven and a half Qian? No one bids price by half and half Qian. Don’t let our Ying Tian village become a laughing stock.”
The seller is glad to find that Weiwei and Feng are from the same village. Well, the higher they bid, the more he earns today!
Then the seller looks at Feng and says: “This little girl would like to pay in seven and a half Qian, and what about you?”
Feng certainly doesn’t want to lose this competition, so he immediately adds: “Higher! I give eight Qian.”
Jin Weiwei’s face is abruptly severe, and soon she decides that today she must give a lesson to Feng.
Therefore, she unyieldingly follows Feng and shouts: “I give……one Liang.”
However, as soon as her words comes out, she regrets. She shouldn’t let the bidding price go on like this, if so, with little money, she will suffer losses.
Though she has roughly estimated the price of one lamb, she doesn’t know how to balance the price of the lamb, the costs of feeding and the profit that each lamb could earn for her. She doesn’t calculate the highest price of each lamb that she could afford, however, it is too late now.
At the same time, Feng has already given his price without any hesitation: “One Liang and one Qian!”
“I, I give……” when Weiwei still tries to raise the price, little Rich, who stands besides her, lightly pinches her.
Jin Weiwei is shocked.
She turns to Rich. He lightly shakes his head, with a glimmer of brilliance in his clam beautiful eyes.
Jin Weiwei is a little surprised---- how can little Rich know biding price?
Is he reminding me not to give a higher price?
Though Jin Weiwei is a clever girl, she can not soon figure out the relationship behind this price competition. But with the firm expression of Rich, Weiwei decides to follow his advice.
Feng is still mocking besides her: “You, hurry up! What’s wrong? Be afraid?
“How can I be afraid?” Jin Weiwei picks her eyebrows, “How much did you pay just now?”
“One Liang and one Qian!”
“Well, I’ll give---"
Jin Weiwei deliberately prolongs her tone. Butcher Feng and the seller all wait for her price. Suddenly, she turns her eyes and stuffes the silver into the seller's hands.
No matter how much I pay, I give you the money first, and I must be the winner in the end anyway.”
Feng is flurried with Weiwei’s unexpected behavior, and he quickly puts his sliver into the seller’s hand before Weiwei.
“I have sliver as well, those lambs must belong to me.”
However, Weiwei suddenly stops her hand in the air after Feng finishes his payment.
The seller puzzles and asks: “Girl, why don’t you pay for your lambs?”
Weiwei smiles and says: “Sorry, I just don’t want to buy those lambs. Now that this guy has already made a bid, so let him afford all lambs!”
Both the Seller and Feng are shocked.
What does this bad girl want to do?
Although they can’t understand Weiwei’ strange behavior, the business still needs to be done, for they have already fixed the price and finished the payment. Feng has no choice but to buy the lamb at a high price of one Liang and one Qian.
