Chapter 75: Losing Face

On the day Su Qingyang went to private school, everyone got up early. The little reading thing is carrying a book bag, with bright eyes and high spirits.

In the end, Su's father and Xiao Qingxing, who insisted on sending him away, sent him to a private school together.

Father Su was dressed in new clothes, standing tall and walking with a breeze. Seeing that his youngest son is about to enter a private school and become literate, I feel excited when I think that my son will be better than him in the future and will no longer have to dig in the fields for food.

At the door of the private school, Xiao Qingxing pulled her compatriot brother reluctantly. Why doesn't the private school accept female students? I'm not stupider than my brother.

He pouted and looked at the schoolchildren entering the private school one by one, with an angry expression on his face.

Su's father glanced at her and said to Qingyang: "You have to study hard, you know. It's not easy for you to get this opportunity. You have to study hard and come back so that you can teach your younger sister and sister so that they can read and write like you." "Ji Zi."

Xiao Qingyang nodded heavily: "I will definitely study hard, dad, don't worry."

The little thing clenched his fists, his eyes sparkled, and his chest was filled with fighting spirit.

Finally, Su's father and Xiao Qingxing watched him go in and then turned around when no one was seen.

Xiao Qingyang started his private school career from then on.

Xiao Qingxing was still pouting when she arrived at the Yangwei Martial Arts Hall. She was not used to being separated from her twin brother for a day.

"Why is Xiao Qingxing unhappy today?" Ma Shiniang asked Yaya, who was flapping her two short legs excitedly.

"Brother went to private school today." Xiao Qingxing said wiltedly.

"Aren't you happy that my brother is in private school? Isn't he coming back after school?"

"Master's wife, why don't private schools accept female students? I also want to read and learn."

Ma Shiniang laughed. He handed Yaya to Cui Yuying who was standing next to him, pulled Qingxing into his arms, and said: "It's their loss if they don't accept female students. Because they are afraid that girls will be smarter than boys, and their men will be very useless." Face-saving.”

"Ah, is that so?" Xiao Qingxing opened her mouth wide and looked at Ma Shiniang in disbelief.

Cui Yuying glanced at Mrs. Ma helplessly. The lady was talking nonsense again and had taught the child bad things.

Ma Shiniang nodded as if nothing was wrong: "Yes, they men are afraid that women are smarter than them. If they are smarter than them, they will lose face; if they are not smarter than them, they will not be happy and say that rotten wood cannot be carved. "You say you don't want to be with women, isn't it very annoying, Xiao Qingxing?"

Xiao Qingxing nodded heavily, clenched her fists and waved: "Well, that's so annoying! Why do men do that! Aren't women allowed to be smarter than them?"

Ma Shiniang smiled: "That's right. They are so thin-skinned, they are afraid of losing face."

"Hmph, you have a small belly! Good or bad!"

"That's right, both good and bad. So Qingxing, do you want to learn how to read from your master's wife? Once you learn how to read, we can secretly be smarter than them!"

"Yes! I also want to learn to read! I want to understand the books in brother Qiyou's room. I want to listen to stories, but I'm afraid of disturbing him when he practices calligraphy. If I can read by myself, I can read by myself. ”

"Yes, we can read it ourselves, so why do we need them to read it to us? When we can read it ourselves, we can buy the books we like and read them in the future."

"Yes. That's it. From now on, when I know how to read, I will buy the books I want to read. I won't buy any books that make me want to sleep!"

Ma Shiniang covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled heartily: "Yes, I won't buy any of them."

After saying that, he took Xiao Qingxing into the room and taught her how to read and write.

Cui Yuying hugged Yaya, coaxed her, shook her head, but raised the corners of her mouth. It's great for the lady to be like this. She saw the energetic lady again.

Cui Yuying couldn't help but her eyes turned red when she thought of the dazzling, carefree and comfortable young lady in the past.

When she came back to her senses, she saw Yaya patting her face with her little hand, and blinked away the tears: "Auntie is not crying, auntie, can you take Yaya to see Huahua? Let's go see the beautiful flowers."

Saying that, she hugged Yaya and walked away.

As for Su Qingyu, the customer flow in the store has dropped, but the dishes she collected have not decreased. The flow of water in the store has dropped, with more going out and less coming in. Everyone is worried.

Su Qingyu was very calm.

Although I earn less every day now, I can still maintain rent and labor costs. She also has a balance of one or two taels every day, so she is not in a hurry to make any big moves.

At the four vegetable shops, not only she was watching, but also other interested people in the town. If the business does well, maybe there will be a few more vegetable shops in Fengting Town. Neighboring towns and counties may follow suit.

Su Qingyu has always been unfavorable about price wars. Once the price drops, in order to maintain profits, the dishes and services will definitely shrink significantly.

Originally, the vegetables were not sold at market stalls. Instead, they were sold in shops, with rent and labor costs. If the source of purchase could not spread the low cost, it would be impossible to sell them at a low price.

Selling vegetables is just to attract traffic, but also relies on services and selling peripherals to make profits.

If you don’t understand this model, supply and demand will eventually lose balance and the store will not be able to continue operating.

She has never targeted the bottom market. Su Qingyao’s original intention of opening a store was to target the middle and high-end market. She also doesn’t want to compete with the vegetable farmers who work hard to get to the morning market, so the vegetable prices are higher than those at the vegetable market.

She roughly washes, selects, packs, and delivers the goods to the doorsteps of special guests. She is not targeting the general public.

Therefore, it did not take away the way for other villagers in the vegetable market to make money.

Everyone is targeting different markets, each with its own stratification, and there will be no major conflicts. Those who want affordable prices will naturally go to the vegetable market to buy. Affordable vegetable markets are more extensive, while mid- and high-level markets are more refined and service-oriented.

But now that the other four shops have opened, they buy vegetables from the surrounding villages at high prices, put them in the shops and sell them at low prices, causing customers who want to buy affordable vegetables to flock to those four shops. The vegetable market was deserted for a while.

The villagers who didn't know why brought vegetables from far away to sell, but found that no one came to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, so they were a little caught off guard.

After guarding the vegetable baskets for a whole morning, they couldn't sell the vegetables. After getting instructions, they all picked them to the four shops to sell. But they were picked in various ways, and only a small part of a basket of vegetables could be sold. The vegetables delivered to the door were naturally reduced in price by various means, and they couldn't make more money than they used to sell in the vegetable market.

And the vegetables left by the picking couldn't be sold, so they had to take them home again.

The vegetable market gradually lost its former prosperity.

Su Qingmei was a little worried.

Seeing that the villagers who came from far away to buy vegetables could not sell them and wanted to take them back, she would buy them. Word spread, and the farmers who could not sell their vegetables saw that she offered a good price and came to her shop to buy vegetables.

Gradually, the vegetables in her shop increased, but the turnover did not increase.

Some people who used to live on the vegetable market, such as those who used to collect protection fees at the vegetable market, quit.

The vegetable farmers disappeared, who should they ask for protection fees?
