83 Chapter 83
Tang Tiezhu and Gu Manniang entered the city, but the cow was not allowed to wander around in the city. They had to find a place to store the cattle. Cattle and donkeys have special places for these things to be stored in the city, and this place is easy to find, so you can inquire about it with a little inquiry.
The ox cart was stored here, and Gu Manniang spent two cents. Although it cost two pennies, the cow is not only guarded by someone, but also provides fresh grass. It's a good deal.
However, they brought a lot of things today, three basket things, although Gu Manniang has a lot of strength, but even if she has a lot of strength, it is not convenient for her to carry two back baskets, and besides, Gu Manniang doesn't know if these things are good or not, but she is really carrying things on her back and drilling everywhere in the city.
Therefore, in the end, Gu Manniang had to spend an extra five cents, and asked the old man who took care of the things to help her take care of the goods.
Gu Manniang is not afraid that this old man will swallow her things, this Fucheng specially concocts a place to herd cattle and donkeys, and the person who cares about it is naturally a person who belongs to the yamen, even if it is not a supernumerary person. If there is no such integrity, who would dare to put these ox carts here. This ox cart and donkey cart is a very, very important thing for the villagers. Therefore, the ox cart dares to be placed here, and why don't the things on the ox cart dare.
Things are kept here, it is absolutely safe, and thieves will definitely not dare to patronize here. All they have to do is get some samples, and if they sell them, they will come back and deliver them. You don't have to carry things around. Although she has more strength now, she doesn't want to run around like a fool with a mountain on her back.
Fucheng is very prosperous, three times larger than the town where Lotus used to go, and there are many more natural people than Fucheng. For antique buildings, Gu Manniang still likes them. The buildings in the town are naturally antique, and they look good, but compared with these buildings in Fucheng, they don't seem to be a little worse.
Later, if she has money, she can also build or build a house here. It's not that it's not good to live in the countryside, it's just that the countryside is not as convenient as the city, and living here can be farther away from Tang Pozi, and the ears will be cleaner. In order to stay away from Mrs. Tang, Gu Manniang has to work hard to make money.
"Manniang, where are we going now?" Tang Tiezhu followed Gu Manniang and asked a little nervously. Although Tang Tiezhu had always been in the town before, he had only been to this city once. The last time I was here was five years ago. There are many people in this city, and it is relatively prosperous, and for many people, people will be more nervous when they first come to an unfamiliar place.
"Let's go to the grocery store and ask first." Gu Manniang replied. The mountain goods that the Tang family picked from the mountains, in addition to eating for their own family, basically used them to sell dry goods, so Gu Manniang's first thought was to go to the grocery store to have a look.
After coming to Fucheng, Tang Tiezhu focused on Gu Manniang, and he did whatever Gu Manniang said. Gu Manniang said to go to the grocery store, and they went to the grocery store.
Gu Manniang found a relatively large shop and walked in with Tang Tiezhu. There are a few customers in the store, which is not deserted, and business is not very good.
When the guy saw a guest coming to the door, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "What do you need?" ”
"Little brother, we're not here to buy something today......" When the guy heard this, he was immediately stunned. He hadn't seen it yet, and it was a matter of course that he couldn't come to buy something. However, the quality of the guy is still very good, and when he heard Gu Manniang say that he didn't buy anything, although he was stunned for a while, he still had a smile on his face after that.
"Look at the guests as you like, I'll go greet the other guests." Since Gu Manniang didn't buy anything, the guys naturally didn't need to greet them anymore.
The guy was just about to turn around and greet other guests, but was stopped by Gu Manniang, "Wait a minute, we are not here to see things, we are here to sell things." With that, Gu Manniang took out the sample she brought out.
The guy glanced at the things in Gu Manniang's hand, and after a long time, he figured out that these two people were here to sell things in the store. It's good to look at the sample of things in Gu Manniang's hands, even if he doesn't return to the shopkeeper for something like this, he can still call the shots. So, let Gu Manniang stand aside and wait for a while.
After the guy saw off the last customer in the store, he came to greet Gu Manniang. The guy asked Gu Manniang to show him the things again.
"Mushrooms are twenty wen a catty, this black wood is fifteen wen a catty, this chestnut is a little more expensive, twenty-five wen a catty, if you sell it, I will weigh you now." Autumn Ji gave a few prices out.
In the past, when Gu Manniang entered the town, she also asked about the price of these things, and the price given by the guy was more than a penny for each item, so she was naturally willing to sell it. But there's not so much of their stuff going on. I don't know how much this store can eat. I'm afraid that this store won't have many goods.
"We are all satisfied with the price you give. However, we still have a lot of goods, how much do you want? ”
When the guy heard that Gu Manniang still had a lot of goods, he couldn't help frowning, "How many goods do you have?" ”
How many are there?
"We haven't weighed it either, but there are three big baskets."
As soon as the guy heard about so many goods, he knew that this was not for him to decide, so he said directly, "You have a lot of goods, and I can't be the master of a young man, so I'll ask the shopkeeper to come and talk to you." ”
When the man said this, he went to confess to another fellow, and went to the back to ask the shopkeeper. After a while, the guy came out with a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man looked shrewd, and if he wanted to bargain from him, he would definitely not be able to.
Of course, Gu Manniang is not afraid of the shrewdness of the shopkeeper, she is just here to sell mountain goods, as long as she does not suffer losses.
"This is our shopkeeper." After the guy introduced Gu Manniang, he stood aside.
"I heard that you two have a lot of mountain goods, is it true?" The shopkeeper asked straight to the point.
Tang Tiezhu was stunned for a moment, then nodded. It turned out that the shopkeeper thought that it was Tang Tiezhu who was in charge, so the question was asked to Tang Tiezhu. It's no wonder that the shopkeeper thinks that Tang Tiezhu is the master of the house, because the masters of the house in an era are generally men.
"How many, are all as good as the ones you brought?" The shopkeeper continued.
Tang Tiezhu glanced at Gu Manniang, and seeing that Gu Manniang didn't intend to speak, he said, "The goods must be as good as the ones you hold in your hands." Mushrooms, black fungus, and chestnuts are all in one basket. ”
Seeing Tang Tiezhu's reaction, the shopkeeper couldn't help but glance at Gu Manniang. I was a little surprised in my heart, but I couldn't see anything on my face.
"Mushrooms, black fungus, I can ask for them all. It's just that you chestnut, I only need ten catties at most. "Mushrooms and fungus can be dried and sold as dry goods, but this chestnut can't.
The shopkeeper was able to ask for all the mushrooms and fungus they brought, which already made Gu Manniang very happy, and as for how many chestnuts were not sold, they could also go and ask the next one.
"Shopkeeper, I want to ask, do you still need dried mushrooms and fungus in this store, we still have a lot of them at home." Gu Manniang saw that the shopkeeper was shrewd, but she was very happy in business, so she wanted to sell all the dry goods to her.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he couldn't help but smile, "I've bought a lot of your things today, enough for our small shop to sell for a while." If I want to buy it in the future, I will definitely look for you. ”
Although she didn't receive a big order, Gu Manniang was not discouraged. She believes that as long as the goods are good, there is nothing that cannot be sold. Besides, Fucheng is so big, this store is not needed, and other stores are not needed.
"By the way, you can carry the chestnuts to the restaurant and ask, maybe they need more." The shopkeeper kindly reminded.
Hearing this, Gu Manniang hurriedly asked Tang Tiezhu to thank him. Although she originally planned to go to the restaurant to sell chestnuts, the shopkeeper was kind, so they naturally had to thank her.
