【22】Introduction to business

Three days passed, and the mason arrived as scheduled two days before his son's wedding. He knew that Wu Daguang was going to leave the market, so he chose to come in the afternoon.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Er Laizi sitting by the stove and making trouble. The bricklayer was a little confused. Could it be that he had gone wrong?

"May I ask, is this Wu Daguang's family?"

Erlaizi studied with Wu Daguang for a few days, and became much more kind. He immediately greeted him with a smile: "Yes, yes, you come to find Brother Guang, I am his friend, I will shout for you." He said he was shouting, but in fact he didn't move, but just raised his voice and shouted to the big tile house: "Wu Daguang, someone is looking for you."

Wu Daguang was dreaming in the room, but was frightened by Er Laizi's voice, and the spring dream was gone without trace.

"Why are you arguing? You're going to be honest later." Wu Daguang blamed him while leaving the house. His voice was no lower than Er Laizi.

"Da Guang, I was the bricklayer who made an appointment with you last time. I want to ask you to hold a banquet for my son." The bricklayer said, rubbing his hands and feet all the way, his hands and feet were frozen.

"I know, it's a bit cold, so hurry up and roast the fire. What's wrong, your son's wedding is ahead of schedule or what?" Wu Daguang asked.

"No, I'll come here to remind you to make preparations."

"Uncle, don't worry, the recipe I've studied is almost done." Wu Daguang called out to his uncle.

"That's good, that's good. That's good. I'll let the tractor come and pick you up that day." said the bricklayer.

"No problem, I'll let you go there for a long trip. I'll walk around the town. You'll find me much closer when you come there." Wu Daguang said with a smile.

"Oh, that won't work. My son must be sincere when getting married."

Parents are sincere in their children, and their children have different feedbacks, and are the only link that has not paid back.

This time, the mason was asking about the flowing seat. The main reason was that it was tight and it was a bit difficult to handle after exceeding the advance payment. After confirming the expenses, I had a clear mind and couldn't handle it too shabby. My son only had this one time. The scenery and scenery were not good. If you buy things, you would be served. Who wouldn't want to be cheap and better?

"Uncle, you say that if you count a hundred or ten customers, you will get a small 100 kilograms of rice. If you want pigs, I suggest that you buy a pig more cost-effective. After all, you don't have a meal, you have meat every meal. I have a pork seller. I can ask him to give you a discount. The price will be lower than the market price and can save a lot of money. The pork left over the banquet will be given to me at the original price. I am doing business and I will sell it in a few days." Wu Daguang analyzed.

The mason saw Wu Daguang talking very well, as if he had taken advantage of it. He couldn't make up his mind alone, so he had to discuss it when he went back. However, Wu Daguang's method was really cheaper than the pork he had booked, why didn't he buy cheap ones and buy expensive ones? And the rest could be sold to Wu Daguang, but what was Wu Daguang's plan?

"Then I'll go back and discuss, let's prepare the market in our town tomorrow, and I'll give you a message tomorrow morning." said the mason.

When he bid farewell to the mason, Er Laizi listened to the whole process. He did not feel that Wu Daguang had any cheap food during the process. After a while, the mason made Wu Daguang wary of Wu Daguang.

"Brother, what benefits can you make for the pork seller?" Erlaizi couldn't help asking.

"The business is done by everyone. On the surface, I seem to be thankless. In fact, I saved the money for the bricklayer. In the end, he calculated the cheapness and thought I was not bad. He talked to people in his circle and advertised me invisibly. Let's talk about selling pork. If I introduce him to such a big business, he will definitely not treat me badly. In the future, I will buy meat and bones. If you can calculate less money, you can calculate less money. If you can give more, you can give more." Wu Daguang explained.

Er Laizi didn't understand Wu Daguang's idea, but only knew that Wu Daguang said this, as if they had taken advantage of it.

The next day, Wu Daguang and Er Laizi set up a stall. In the past two days, someone occasionally told Wu Daguang privately that Er Laizi had problems with his character. Every time Wu Daguang just smiled and said, "So far, he has done a good job, let's talk about it if something happens."

In one sentence, Er Laizi was so moved that he worked harder.

At seven or eight o'clock, the mason came as promised. There was also a young man in his twenties. Judging from the appearance of the young man, he was simply a copy of the mason, and it should be the groom this time.

Instead of looking for Wu Daguang directly, they wandered around the stall next to Wu Daguang.

"Sister, I'll ask you something." The bricklayer asked a female stall owner who sold needles and threads.

"What's the matter?"

The mason pointed at Wu Daguang: "It's the one selling noodles. Why are there so many people on his stall?"

"Daguang, the noodles are delicious, and they are quite good. They are delicious. You are also going to eat noodles?"

"How do you think of others?" the young man interrupted, and was beaten by the mason, reminding him to be careful when speaking.

"Then you need to say that you see that there are so many people in his stall and you can rely on popularity. Don't worry, a good man, hey, you ask what he is doing, is he going to tell him about his wife or what? I tell you, marry Daguang, and the family who marry his daughter will secretly have fun..." The woman's mouth was barely finished, and the father and the other two couldn't even get into the conversation.

The two masons went to ask other stalls again, and the answers they received were consistent: they had a good reputation.

As a human being, don’t just look at small profits, think you have taken advantage of it, and you are secretly happy behind your back. In fact, you may have missed a greater opportunity. If you want to know what kind of person a person is, you can tell from the mouths of the people around him. The advantage of not offending others is that no one talks about you behind your back. Some people may ask, what is the benefit of this, but they don’t know that the biggest benefit of a good reputation is the greatest benefit. For example, Wu Daguang, the advantage of being close to others is that they eat their hands short and their mouths are short, and no one speaks bad things against their conscience. Most people have a conscience.

After walking around, the two of them knew what they wanted and went to Wu Daguang's stall.

Seeing the mason with his son coming, Wu Daguang greeted warmly: "I came early enough, sit down, don't eat, just eat, put two bowls of noodles to fill my stomach."

"No, we want to go see the pigs and then look for the price." The mason said directly.

Wu Daguang picked up a bowl of noodles and put down the guys' affairs: "It's done, let's take you to see it." Then he shouted to the busy Er Laizi: "You greet me first, I'll take them to see it."

Wu Daguang took the two of them to the butcher's stall where he often bought meat. He went out and didn't look at the calendar. He happened to meet Butcher Liu in the village set up a stall not far away. Butcher Liu also recognized him in the crowd with sharp eyes.

Wu Daguang only glanced at him, pretending not to see him, and introduced the mason and the pork stall owner to know each other. Wu Daguang greeted Wu early and gave them 30 cents cheaper per catty than the market price.
