Chapter 020 Spending money is like running water
Seeing the two sisters and brothers coming, Zhang Xiuer let go of the younger brother, "Shuhan is going too?" It's okay, don't burn your eyes when you read every day, I'll cook at home and wait for you to come back, little brother, you can come over with you when you're done. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
In fact, he wanted him to send people back, Zhang Shucheng nodded helplessly.
"Sister Xiu'er, you haven't been out for a few days, why don't you go together?"
Of course Zhang Xiuer thinks about it, but a **, how can it be so convenient, "I won't go, you should be careful on the road." ”
"Let's go together, I'll rent a carriage." Zhang Shucheng made a decision directly, as far as he knew, his sister went back to her parents' house two months ago, and if he was the only one, he would not be able to do this, but with these two children, he didn't have so many scruples.
The carriage was rented, the groom was Zhang Shucheng, Zhuang Shuqing saw that he was holding a horsewhip in his hand, and felt that the ancient people were really all-rounders, they could hold a pen, wield a whip, and do business.
The little brother has put a lot of thought into it, Zhang Xiuer already wanted to go out to breathe, so naturally she didn't bother with this heart, and got into the carriage briskly with her skirt, and the whole person was full of joy.
Zhuang Shuqing looked sad, it is really not easy for a woman in this era to be a woman.
There were two shops, one in the east market and one in the west, and the men went to the west and then to the east.
"Have you liked it?"
"It's a good place to the east." To say that the size of the shop is about the same, but the shops around the shop on the east side are either made of ready-to-wear, or sell fabrics, and there is a bookstore, which is much more upscale than the west market.
Zhang Shucheng was not surprised by her choice, "The shop in the east is 30% more expensive, you need 12 taels a month, and you need to pay it once a quarter, and you have an extra month's deposit, that is to say, you have to go out 48 taels at a time, which does not include the commission that needs to be paid to me." ”
Forty-eight taels is almost one-fifth of her property, of course Zhuang Shuqing hurts, but this step must be taken, if she wants to live a comfortable life, she must have that condition.
"Can I get it, and the commission is half of the monthly rent?"
"Yes." The curtain of the car was pulled up, Zhang Xiuer sat in the innermost part without showing her face, Zhuang Shuqing didn't have so many scruples, but she couldn't be stubborn with her younger brother, and finally had to let her younger brother sit on the outside.
Zhang Shucheng glanced back, and when he came into contact with his sister's disapproving eyes, he moved away casually, "Since it is the second time to take care of my business, I will give you a discount, just give five taels." ”
"Books into ......"
"Sister Xiu'er, don't be angry, Brother Zhang is right, he didn't deceive me from beginning to end, I inquired about the market here before, the rental price of twelve taels of one such shop is the cheapest, Brother Zhang has already helped me a lot, I can't let him suffer again."
Even if you can speak, Zhang Shucheng snorted twice in his heart, he was forced to drop out of school due to reality, but this does not mean that he will give up studying, business has been good in the past few months, he has made a lot of money, and he will have to go to school for a few more months, and when he saves more foundation, he must still go to school.
Asking for a tael less commission is already a big concession for him.
Zhang Xiu'er was helpless with this younger brother, and she faintly knew that Shuqing was quite rich for the time being, so she didn't say much about annoying people, but only thought in her heart that she would spend more effort on food in the future to make it more abundant.
The owner of the shop was not far away, and after giving the silver, Zhuang Shuqing solemnly signed his name on the contract.
Zhuang Shuhan is not strong in this matter, he must be an official in the future, and he can't get involved in these business businesses, whether it is recorded in his sister's name, it is always a guarantee.
The shop was settled, Zhuang Shuqing was full of enthusiasm, and he couldn't hold back the afternoon of the same day, and he walked a few times back and forth in the house to calm down and clean up.
This was a cloth village before, and the main house should have been cleaned before, and there was no other dirt except for the ashes.
The boxy house, about 20 square meters, and there is a hut of four or five square meters inside, which used to be a place where fabrics were stacked.
There is no concept of decoration in this world, and Zhuang Shuqing does not plan to do much ahead, so he has an idea after walking a few steps back and forth, and walks to the next door.
"Auntie."
The woman who was looking down at the account book looked up and saw that the person who came was the new boss next door who had beaten a face, not very old, but he was not a person who did not know anything, and she was not afraid to underestimate people in this business business, and she did not neglect the other party because of his young age, or maybe he was a competitor.
"But what's the matter?"
Zhuang Shuqing's eyes swept over all kinds of fabrics, "I'm not afraid to tell my aunt that I'm going to open a ready-to-wear shop, and it just so happens that my aunt is selling fabrics......"
The woman's eyes lit up, this was really a pie that fell from the sky, and she picked it up, and quickly came out from behind the counter, and shouted for the man to pour tea.
"Let's sit and talk."
Zhuang Shuqing sat down humbly, she was not a businessman in her previous life, but she had seen too many businessmen, and she also understood a truth: the more things you need, the more you can't be too eager, if you are not in a hurry, the other party will be in a hurry, and in the end, whoever is the most calm will be the winner.
There is more to this market than a cloth village, and no one will refuse her business, of course, it would be best if it could be nearby, and it would be convenient to do it in the future.
"My husband's surname is Yu, if you don't dislike it, just call me Yu's wife." The woman smiled very kindly, "I don't know what to call a girl?" ”
"My surname is Zhuang, and Yu Niangzi calls me Miss Zhuang."
"Miss Zhuang." Yu Niangzi smiled, it seems that this Zhuang girl is not from an ordinary family, how can the people's family have such an elegant name, and it is normal for the older to call the younger sister.
Zhuang Shuqing didn't know that he had leaked his words, and looked at the shop full of fabrics, gorgeous, plain, elegant, and deep...... And so on.
If it was used to decorate the pavement, she thought it would be good to use the azure one.
Following her gaze, Yu Niangzi smiled again, or maybe she was born with a smiling face, "Like it?" ”
Zhuang Shuqing nodded, got up and walked over to take a closer look, "I plan to buy a few pieces of cotton cloth of this color, are they available in the lady's shop now?" ”
"Yes, how many horses?" Yu Niangzi followed and got up and walked over.
"Take three horses first, it's not enough for me to get it again, it's very close anyway."
The guy received the look of the proprietress and quickly took the cloth.
"This cloth is not expensive, 600 wen a horse, a total of 1,800 wen, and you will be a neighbor in the future, so I will give you 200 wen less."
Zhuang Shuqing took out the money, and went out for more than fifty taels in the morning, and this time she didn't feel distressed at all.
"Miss Zhuang wants anything else?"
came, Zhuang Shuqing made a victory gesture in her heart, but her face was not obvious at all, "I sell ready-to-wear clothes, so naturally I need all kinds of fabrics, so I don't know what kind of discount Yu Niangzi plans to give me." ”
"Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, what grade of ready-to-wear is Miss Zhuang going to make?"
"Yu Niangzi is worried that my things won't sell?"
"Of course not." Even if she really thinks so in her heart, Yu Niangzi will never admit it, "There are many kinds of cloth, brocade, silk, satin, silk, Luo, yarn...... I don't know what kind of one you want. ”
"You want any of them, Yu Niangzi don't underestimate me, we are neighbors, and I also want to get married, so you are the first to come to you, and there is more than one cloth village in this market."
There is a sick husband in Yu Niangzi's family, since she got married, this shop has been taking care of her, and now it has been more than ten years, and the people who have seen it do not know how many, and when she thinks that people rarely look away, it is today, and she did not underestimate this girl.
But now, she still thinks she should be held higher.
A girl who should be preparing to marry in the boudoir will run around these things outside, if she doesn't have some skills, the capital spent will be thrown into the water, such a stupid thing is done, but it shouldn't be this little girl with a lot of spirit and bright eyes.
"I will give you the maximum discount, if you can't trust me, you can go to other cloth houses to ask the price and we will negotiate."
"No, if it's the first time you deal with it, you need to be so guarded, where is there still a need for cooperation, I don't play with the lady, the lady gives me a pen and paper, I will be able to accept the price written down, if the lady thinks it can be accepted, all the fabrics I need in the shop in the future will come out of here, how?"
"Good." Led people to the counter, Yu Niangzi made a gesture of please.
Zhuang Shuqing pressed down the price that he had already inquired about and wrote it down one by one, and handed it to Yu Niangzi after making a slight modification.
Silk two, satin five, brocade seven, silk three, Luo three, yarn two...... Yu Niangzi couldn't help but look up at the confident little girl, this price was exactly within her bottom line, but it was a little lower than she expected, but compared to having one more long-term customer, this benefit can be completely disregarded. (http://.)。
"Yes, at this price, how much does it cost? I'll have to see if that's enough. ”
The two of them discussed it carefully, settled the things first, and after Zhuang Shuqing put the deposit, he turned around with three azure cloths, and borrowed the guys from the cloth village before leaving.
"Hang this cloth on the wall? All three walls? The little guy looked at Zhuang Shuqing like a madman, who bought the cloth and didn't add clothes, why did this Zhuang girl hang it on the wall, what a waste.
Zhuang Shuqing couldn't explain to him that this was using cloth as wallpaper, the azure color was soft, and it was not particularly eye-catching, so it couldn't be wrong to use it as a base.
When the guy glued the upper and lower layers of paste as she said, and fixed them with nails at intervals, the originally empty room immediately became more elegant, and it looked a lot more pleasing to the eye.
There is still a lot of fabric left, Zhuang Shuqing simply picked up the hut inside, maybe it is crazy to spend more than a couple of silver to get these in the eyes of others, but as a person who has lived in modern times for decades, she knows too well the importance of packaging.
A luxuriously equipped storefront and a simple storefront can sell the same clothes for twice the price.
