On the day of the temple fair, I went shopping with Li Xia and Little Black Fish, and I paid attention to the summer solstice. This time when she came into the town, in the eyes of the children who followed, she seemed to be familiar with the way, and I didn't know, and I thought she often came to the town to wander.

Xia Zhi first found the largest grocery store in town. During the temple fair, she bought things in the shop and chatted with the shopkeeper. When she entered the shop, the shopkeeper happened to be there, and he seemed to be very impressed with her.

"The little girl is coming to the market today? What to buy? Shopkeeper He didn't greet Xia Zhi with a young man, but came over in person and talked to Xia Zhi with a smile.

"The big shopkeeper is good." Xia Zhi greeted Shopkeeper He with a smile, "We'll buy things later, and discuss one thing with the big shopkeeper first." ”

"Oops." The smile on Shopkeeper He's face widened. People who do business pay attention to harmony and make money, and Shopkeeper He is still a person with a particularly gentle temper. "Little girl, what do you want to discuss with me?"

"The big shopkeeper will take a look first." Xia Zhi took out a few purses from the cloth bag and lined them up for Shopkeeper He. "Last time, I asked the big shopkeeper, if I send the embroidered purse, the big shopkeeper will not accept it."

While looking at the purse, the shopkeeper He picked up the words of the summer solstice: "I said to accept it." I remember. Little girl, last time you came with your uncle and a young son, I remember you. ”

"How about the big shopkeeper take a look at these purses?" When Xia Zhi heard him say this, he was relieved.

Shopkeeper He put the purse in his hand one by one and looked at it. He didn't say anything at first, but asked the young man to get his glasses and put them on, and carefully examined the stitches of his purse.

This is a person who is very careful in his business, even when it comes to a small business. Xia Zhi admires such a person, and she doesn't urge him, just let him take a closer look.

The few purses she brought can definitely withstand the strictest selection.

Shopkeeper He put down the last purse in his hand, then slowly took off his glasses and asked Xia Zhi: "Little girl, how much do you plan to sell these purses?" ”

Xia Zhi looked at the purses sold in the shop. She had already quietly inquired about the price the last time she came. "Big shopkeeper, please give me a price."

"Oh......" Shopkeeper He hesitated slightly, and then picked out the two most delicate purses, "This kind of material and embroidery, I will give you the highest price, fifty yuan each." Little girl, I look at your young age, not only are you diligent and capable, but you are quite good at planning to live. This kind of purse, I will collect as much as you have. ”

These two purses are carefully embroidered by Mrs. Xia, using the best materials, and the flower threads are also of the highest quality, not only the embroidery is bright, but also the stitches are almost invisible.

Xia Zhi also plans to be the best of the best, and secretly praises the shopkeeper's good eyesight.

"The rest of them are just one level worse. I will also take it, but I will only give you thirty cents each. Shopkeeper He saw that Xia Zhi had not spoken, so he said again.

"Yes." Xia Zhi nodded after a little thought, "Big shopkeeper, I won't raise the price with you." I'm going to make a long-term deal with our shop. In the future, I will send you a purse every half a month, which is both of these standards. Big shopkeeper, can you charge it at this price? ”

"Receive." Shopkeeper He is also very happy. He received the purse, which could not only be sold in the shop, but also sent in batches to Fucheng and the big town stores near and far to sell. The best kind can even be sold for a penny. The business is not big, and his income is not small.

Xia Zhi also understood that his shop was big and there was a way, so he found him.

Of the six purses, the two made by Mrs. Xia sold for 100 yuan, and the four made by Sun Lan'er and Xia Zhi themselves sold for 60 yuan each. This is not a lot of money, but for the little girl of the banker's family, it can be regarded as a small fortune. Keep your own pocket money, and even make up for it a little.

Layue was very hot looking at the side.

Xia Zhi collected the money, took out another purse and showed it to Shopkeeper He, and asked him how much such a purse was worth.

Shopkeeper He did not slack off in the slightest, but carefully looked at the purse before he spoke pertinently: "...... The material is fine, and the stitches and embroidery are also very careful, but it is still a little bit of effort. This kind of thing, you can leave it with me and consign it. How much is sold, and I keep 30% of the money sold. ”

This is already quite generous.

This purse was made by Layue, and she put a lot of thought into it, but it was the first time she had done this kind of delicate work. Xia Zhi asked what Layue meant, whether to leave the purse here for consignment, or take it back.

"Fourth sister, I'm ...... I take it back and don't sell it. I'll make the same one as yours next time, and I'll sell it again. Layue's face was slightly red, and she whispered to Xia Zhi.

The little girl is quite energetic.

Xia Zhi nodded, told Shopkeeper He, and took the purse back. Then, with the money from the sale of the purse, he bought a piece of fragrant white pancreas, and bought some flower thread, wrapped it and put it in a basket.

The pancreas is a better one, made of pig pancreas with some spices and herbs, goose egg-shaped, and it is very good to wash your face. This was bought for her and Sun Lan'er. As for the flower thread, it is ready to be embroidered with the purse.

Out of the grocery store, Xia Zhi led a few children to continue walking, and finally stopped in front of a jade jewelry store.

"Sixteen, what are we going to buy?" The little black fish asked about the summer solstice.

Layue and Xiao Shu'er's eyes were no longer enough, they didn't care to ask Xia Solstice, and they would go wherever Xia Solstice led them.

"We're still here to sell something." Xia Zhi told the little black fish, and then led the way into the shop.

This shop has two doors, and the inside is very small. Xia Zhi glanced at it, and a junior apprentice came over and asked them what they wanted to buy.

"I want to meet your master." The summer solstice said.

The junior apprentice looked at Xia Solstice in surprise, as if he wanted to see something from her.

"Collect the stones, I am here to sell them." Xia Solstice told him.

During the temple fair, she also visited this shop. This is an old shop, the owner is a jade craftsman, leading a few apprentices, selling all kinds of jade that they have honed at home.

It is said to be a jade shop, because there are more local agate, and there are the most agate products in this shop, such as bracelets, beads, rings, pendants, ornaments, large and small.

Xia Zhi had already inquired about it, and this family was to collect rough stones.

"Our master is not here today, I'll go and see if our senior brother is there." The primary school apprentice saw that although Xia Solstice was young, she could speak and behave generously, neither humble nor arrogant, so he didn't dare to underestimate her. He led Xia Solstice to a small room next to him and sat down, and then went to invite the senior brother who could be the master in the store.

Senior brother is the name in their store, and the outside is still called the shopkeeper. This Senior Brother Ma looks like a craftsman, a little wilted, and has few words.

The summer solstice didn't bother much, just put the basket on the table, removed the wrapped cloth, and took out the agate stone inside to show him. They picked up a lot of agate stones on the river beach, large and small pieces. Xia Solstice carefully selected among them, and the ones that were brought over today were all relatively large, pure in color, and more transparent.

Senior Brother Ma was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, but lowered his head to examine it carefully, and then raised his head and asked Xia Zhi: "Are these what you picked?" Planning to sell it to the shop? ”

Xia Solstice nodded yes.

Senior Brother Ma looked at Xia Zhi and the little black fish, and didn't speak for a long time.

"Shopkeeper Martha, I've been to your shop. I talked to your master last time. So she knew that the reason why this store could accept such stones was that the price needed to be discussed.

The larger ones she picked up and sold today can be used as pendants, and the smaller ones are enough to make beads. There is also that red agate the size of a pebble, which can be made into a delicate ornament. And the color she chooses, no matter how big or small, is very good.

"Yes, you can take it. But we've never confiscated you like that. The shopkeeper said slowly.

"Agate is good agate, isn't it?" Xia Zhi asked, "I have picked the best color, and the large pieces of materials you buy may not all be like this." The price is negotiable, and we earn an allowance. ”

When the shopkeeper heard her say this, he laughed. He is married and has two children. "If the master is not here, I will call the shots." Saying this, he carefully selected the agate stones brought by the summer solstice.

"I'll take these, and I'll give them to you at most...... 500 cents. The shopkeeper put together the agate stones he wanted to collect, and there was a pile of small agate stones left, and he said that he couldn't figure out anything, so he didn't want it.

Five hundred dollars! Little Black Fish, Layue, and Little Shu'er all widened their eyes, but none of them dared to say anything.

Xia Zhi's face did not change, and he took out the red goose egg from the pile picked by the shopkeeper of Martha. "This piece alone is more than 500 yuan!" Xia Zhi looked directly at the shopkeeper of Ma Da, "The elders in the family all said that you are a century-old shop, and Tong Su is not bullied, so we brought things to you to sell." These agate stones are carefully selected by us for several years! ”

"Little girl, do you know agate?" The shopkeeper asked, his face was not red.

Xia Zhi can see that the face of this man surnamed Ma is honest, but he is actually not honest. She nodded, "I understand." The big shopkeeper, if you want to accept these agates, give us at least 800 wen, not including the piece in my hand. At this price, you definitely have to earn! ”

"Little girl, you are so powerful, do you know at home?" The shopkeeper of Martha still looked at Xia Solstice with an honest face.

"They know." Xia Solstice replied quietly.

"Okay, I'll take these agate, and I'll give you eight hundred dollars. …… Little girl, are you married? The shopkeeper asked suddenly.

Xia Zhi squinted his eyes and raised his hand to rub Daqing's head. Daqing also came with them, and for fear that it would scare people, the little black fish told it not to make a sound, so he let it lie obediently behind their legs.

was rubbed against his head, and Daqing snorted a few times from his throat.

The shopkeeper coughed dryly, and while ordering someone to go to the counter to get the money, he also explained to Xia Zhi: "I have a son who is thirteen years ......old this year, and he is married to his master's only daughter and gave birth to two children. Later, he and his son inherited the shop.

"Did he beat me?" Xia Zhi was already a little unable to look directly at the big shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper of Marda looked at the summer solstice, and then at the little black fish and the little tree with his sleeves rolled up, and then inevitably saw the big green dog that was about to stand up. He closed his mouth sensibly, but in his heart he planned to inquire later to find out who Xia Solstice was.

The junior apprentice brought the money, but the shopkeeper did not immediately hand it over to Xia Zhi: "Little girl, how much do you plan to sell that stone?" Referring to the red goose egg that Xia Solstice just took back.

"I'll have to think about it." Xia Zhi said that she hinted at him with her eyes, she thought he was not sincere, so whether this agate was sold to him or not, she had to think about it.

"Little girl, I'm not a bad person, I just think you guys are quite rare, just kidding." The shopkeeper said.

Xia Zhi ignored him and collected the eight hundred yuan. Then he pointed to the pile of agate stones that he had picked up: "Although these are small, they can be in good color, transparent and lovely, and they can be polished into beads and sold for a good price." ”

Senior Brother Ma looked at Xia Zhi and thought to himself, this little girl is indeed quite shrewd, but he said: "It takes a lot of work to polish the beads. "Actually, they have machines, grinding beads and piercing, which are the basic skills of apprentices.

Xia Zhi asked him how much manual money it cost to grind beads and perforate.

The shopkeeper of Martha looked at the summer solstice again, and felt inexplicably that if he dared to ask for more, this little girl would be able to take people and dogs to smash his shop when he turned around. After all, it's an old shop in this town, and a few people in the summer solstice are also nearby. Although the shopkeeper was a little unkind at first, he no longer has any bad thoughts now.

Otherwise, when someone comes to the door later, he will really not be able to make a mistake.

"If it's just sanding and piercing, ten beads, three cents." Very honest price.

"Then these stones, I'll trouble you!" Xia Zhi said immediately, and then asked Layue to count the stones. There are a total of fifty-six stones, all of which are picked out on the summer solstice with good color and uniform size, which is very suitable for grinding into beads.

After listening to the count, Xia Zhi counted out ten cents and handed it to the shopkeeper of Ma Da: "This is the fixed money, and we will get the beads in the next episode." Don't grind the beads out. ”

"We don't usually take that kind of work." The Martha shopkeeper was not very happy. It's not a good job. He really took a fancy to the piece of agate in Xia Zhi's hand, and if he thought it properly, he could sell it for a good price.

Xia Zhi held the agate in his hand, only let him see it, and did not say that it was for sale, nor did it say that it was not for sale.

"Generally, it is not collected, that is to say, it is still collected!" Xia Zhi looked at the shopkeeper of Ma Da, "If you launch a small business today, you may miss a big customer in the future!" Big boss, I think you've learned this. ”

This sentence is the rule of the shop handed down by the master of this jade shop. Xia Zhi heard Old Man Xia talk about the ancients. If she could say this, the shopkeeper looked at her even more differently. He nodded, and then wanted to buy the piece of agate in Xia Zhi's hand.

"The price is negotiable!"
