The wife laughed and said, "Why do you need to tell me so much? Don't I know that I should do my best to repay the soldiers who protect us? Besides, our family doesn't lack that one or two cents. As Mrs. Gu said, people like us who have a lot of money may not be willing to hire servants, but even if we spend one or two cents a day, it's nothing."
"And if we want to go shopping, I will leave my stall alone and you won't be able to handle it. The reduced business can't be compensated by the one or two cents for running errands. We are supporting the soldiers and saving our own time. We can do more business. This is a win-win situation." The wife said with a smile.
The boss scratched his head and said, "Now when you speak, you speak four words at a time."
"My son was reading, and I listened to him. I can remember a little bit." His wife said with a smile, "You stay here to greet the guests, and I will go to the registration point to talk. Otherwise, you, a grown man, can't explain it clearly."
"Okay, all our money is with you anyway." said the boss with a smile.
The wife took the money and went to the registration point opposite.
After hearing the purpose of the visit, Tan Shiyi said, "Tell me what kind of fabric you want to buy and what size you want, and I will write it down."
After his wife told him, Tan Shiyi found out the address of her home. "It's not far. I only need to pay a penny for the errand."
"How do you calculate the money for the cloth?" the wife asked hurriedly.
"We will go to the cloth shop and buy what you want. The shopkeeper will calculate the price, and then we will take the cloth to your home and you can pay. If you are not sure, you can go and discuss with the shopkeeper whether the price is right." Tan Shiyi said, "Don't worry, we will never cheat anyone and will not charge you more."
Originally, Li Mumu planned to ask the store to write a receipt as proof every time.
But after some calculation, I realized that the money for paper was too expensive. If that was the case, the one or two cents for running errands would not be enough to cover the money for buying paper, so I had to give up this idea for the time being.
Some people also heard that Li Mumu's errand shop was opened specifically to help disabled soldiers survive, so they hurried back home.
"Madam, is there anything we need to buy these days?" the husband asked as he entered the door.
"No, why are you suddenly asking these questions?" the wife was puzzled.
"Think about it carefully. Even if you don't need it for the time being, it's okay if you buy it and can use it in the morning and evening." The husband and wife
Talking about the errand shop.
"Oh! I really can't think of anything right now!" The wife slapped her thigh and suddenly said, "How about we have a hotpot tonight? Ask someone to go to Gu's Snack Shop to get the hotpot and meat and vegetables back, and we can eat it at home?"
"Come to think of it, my mother-in-law and I have never eaten it. My mother-in-law always talks about how great it would be if we had a chance to try it." The wife said, "Why don't we try it tonight? If it's really that convenient, we can't eat it every few days. Once a month is fine, right? For example, you can eat barbecue and pot outside, but we haven't had a chance to try it yet."
"Okay!" The husband nodded with a smile, "I was negligent. I'll go and register. Do you want to eat anything?"
"Go ask mom first what she wants to eat." The wife said, "I don't know what's there, so I can't tell you."
The two of them went to ask their mother-in-law, but she didn't know what was good to eat, so she said to her son, "Go and try it. If you think it's good to eat, then order some."
"Okay."
Such things happened in many families in Chong'an City.
If someone happened to have something to buy, they would rush to the registration point.
Sometimes I can't think of what I need to buy at the moment, and I try hard to think of things that I will need to buy sooner or later even if I have them at home.
There were also many people who really couldn't think of anything, so they simply asked the errand shop guys to deliver meals to them at the restaurant.
Fortunately, there are many registration points, and there is a registration point at almost every alley.
So there were no long queues.
"It's really convenient. There is a registration point just a few steps away from home to register." After someone registered, he met a neighbor who was on his way to the registration point and said to the neighbor.
"That's great, I'll go right away."
In Chong'an City, almost all families with such conditions have registered.
"This really saves a lot of time." Someone said on the way home after waiting for his neighbor to finish registering.
"Yes, if I had the time, I could make more furniture."
"Me too. If I need something at the last minute, I can just ask the errand boy to go get it for me."
"Now that you've reminded me, I can ask the errand boy to buy nails for me," said the carpenter, "so I don't have to run around to buy them again."
"I just booked a table at Huizhenlou." Someone else said, "If it's really good, I'll ask the errand boy to book it during the festival. Then the family won't have to be busy at night, and the whole family can have a hot meal."
"I think so too. Besides, it's more exquisite and delicious than what we make at home."
"Yeah, we don't eat it every day, but we can always have a big feast during festivals."
"On weekdays, we can add one or two dishes. Today, ask the waiter to send a roast duck, and tomorrow ask the waiter to go to Baiweixuan to buy a roast lamb chop. Both are excellent."
"Yeah."
On the first day of opening, the errand boy was busy all the time.
Injured soldiers with limited mobility could be seen running around everywhere in the city.
But this time, no one thought that the boss of Bidada Running Errands was being excessive.
On the contrary, the people felt relieved and encouraged when they saw the soldiers walking so hard but firmly.
Who doesn't have difficulties?
But seeing them like this, I feel that my own difficulties are nothing.
Everyone is working hard in life.
Li Mumu didn't expect the first day to be so busy.
She first checked at the errand shop to make sure there was no problem, then went to various registration points to check, and went around before returning to the errand shop.
A few people came back to rest after delivering the items. Li Mumu said, "I didn't expect it to be so busy on the first day. Are you tired?"
In this cold weather, I kept running outside and my hands were frozen.
Li Mumu had someone lighting the charcoal, and when people came in, they gathered around the charcoal stove to warm themselves.
"I am tired, but I am happy in my heart!" Su Dazhuang grinned, "I hope I can be as busy as today in the future."
"Today is a special situation. The people suddenly know your identities and are eager to express their enthusiasm." Li Mumu said with a smile, "For the next three days, business may be good. But after a few more days, it will be idle. There won't be so many orders."
Li Mumu told them that this is called an order.
After everyone thought about it, they found that the term "order" was indeed very accurate and vivid.
"That's fine. At least for the first three days, we can let people place orders from our errand shop. After experiencing it and knowing how convenient it is, they can place orders with confidence if they need anything in the future."
