Xia Chunchao didn't say a word, and immediately asked: "Can you check the returned goods?" Is it really bad? Shopkeeper Xia replied: "Returning goods is not a trivial matter, and the small ones don't dare to slack off." As soon as the goods arrived, I personally took my men to open the bag and inspect it, and sure enough, there were insects and mildew. The bag of peanuts sent by Changchun Lou was even so bad that there were few good ones. The rest of the families returned to the same place. It only took two or three days for us to send the goods, and it was definitely not put like this in the customer's store. These three big customers are our regular customers, and they are also time-honored shops in Beijing, and they will never do anything wrong. Therefore, when the goods are sent out, it will not be good. However, this is very strange, when the man delivered the goods, each bag was opened and I personally inspected it, and there was nothing wrong with it. How did it get to the customer's store, and it took a while to get so bad? ”

When Xia Chunchao was silent, he asked again: "Leave this aside for the time being, since these three families have returned the goods, can they say anything else?" Shopkeeper Xia replied: "Because it is an old customer who has been with us for many years, people are embarrassed to say that they will return the money, but they just ask us to exchange the goods." However, our store is thin, and the inventory is not much. The orders for these three stores are prepared in the morning, where is there any surplus? Even some bulk goods can't make up for that number. Now is not the season to load the goods, where to go to change! ”

Xia Chunchao was silent, and suddenly remembered something for a long time, and said: "We have some dried peanuts and dried fruits planted on Zhuangzi, and there are still some dried fish stored in the year, can we make up for them?" Shopkeeper Xia smiled bitterly: "It would be good if this matter came out in the morning." It's just that grandma forgot that a few days ago, the owner of Hexiangzhuang next door came to our village to see the goods, and bought a lot of them in one go. Because the grandmother said that he would choose everything, and the little ones saw that the price they offered was much higher than the market price, so she took it upon herself to sell eighty percent of the crops on the farm to them. Now the rest of the village is not enough to fill this vacancy. ”

When Xia Chunchao heard this, he couldn't do anything. She knows that the current season, just when the green and yellow are not connected, the new goods will be in the future, and the old goods will be exhausted. In the past, she calculated the year before the year before, and before the new goods in the next year, the store spent a lot of money to buy inventory according to the number. It does not occupy the cost, but also does not cause the store to interrupt the goods. It is with her careful calculation that this Lu family's dry goods store has today's scene. However, this year, such a change occurred, and even the store was out of stock. This incident happened suddenly, and Xia Chunchao couldn't think of a rescue for a while, so he was a little at a loss.

After a long pause, she said in a deep voice: "Even if this is the case, we can't do it, it's not good to drag people down." You will go to the Donghua Building in the west of the city in a while, set up three tables of shark fin seats, and invite the shopkeepers and owners of these three shops to invite them. Carefully explain the reason, and it is not good to pay for it. And told them that as soon as the new goods arrived, they would make up the original amount, and they would not be charged a penny, only to compensate for the loss this time. These three shopkeepers have been with us for a long time, so they must not be too difficult for us. ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he said eagerly: "Grandma, our goods store can have today's reputation, relying on continuous supply. It's okay to have Songyue Teahouse, those two are both in the restaurant business, just waiting for the ingredients to be served as a side dish. The signature dish Buddha of Changchun Building jumped over the wall, and it was necessary to use the dried bamboo shoots and dried scallops in our store. Meng Yuanzhen, the owner of Changchun Building, is a leading figure in Beijing, and when he speaks, the whole business house wants to sell him face. This man is a strange person and has a very difficult time to speak. If we offend him, our future business will be more and more difficult. Xia Chunchao was very distressed, paused and said, "If I had another way, I wouldn't have made this decision." Now it's helpless. I thought that Meng Gongzi was a businessman, and he would not do anything to Meng Lang in business. ”

Shopkeeper Xia listened to her words, and knew that it was the truth, so he had to nod his head.

Xia Chunchao said these words for a long time, only to feel that his mouth was dry, he picked up the tea bowl and drank it dry, and ordered Zhu'er to pour tea. When he raised his eyes, he saw that the shopkeeper Xia was still full of sadness, so he asked, "What else is the shopkeeper Xia worried about?" Let's talk about it together, it's already like this, and it's useless to worry. When the shopkeeper Xia saw her asking, he hurriedly said, "If grandma doesn't ask, I don't dare to say." It's just that if this matter is delayed, it will also shake the foundation of the goods industry. Grandma asked today, so she had to talk about it. As he spoke, he told him about the recent troubles.

It turned out that since the opening of the Lu family's dry goods store, Lu Huancheng has been walking outside, but when he has money, he either keeps the accounts of the shop, or simply sends people to the shop to get money. Because he usually didn't spend much, he bought some fake antiques, and he didn't need more than Erer, and Xia Chunchao let it go. Who knew that in the past two months, this Lu Huancheng actually raised 400 taels of silver in the shop, and yesterday he took another 100 taels, which actually accounted for half a month's turnover of the goods store. Because he is the father-in-law of Xia Chunchao, Xia Chunchao did not dare to stop him, but in the long run, it will inevitably hinder the operation of the goods store.

Shopkeeper Xia recounted it, and said, "Grandma, if it's a small amount of money, it's fine." It's just that the old man often takes away so many silver taels, and the goods bank is rich in silver, and he has to take it back. What's more, now that there is such a thing as a return, we still have to compensate people for the silver, it is the time to use the money, and we can't afford to pay for such expenses as the master. When Xia Chunchao heard about this, he became more and more troubled. She doesn't talk much to this father-in-law on weekdays, but she sees him going out early and returning late every day, and he doesn't have much to do at home, so he is a very trouble-free person. Although there are some vassal and elegant problems, it is harmless. In order to avoid quarrels, Lu Huancheng kept accounts, and she didn't stop it. Who knew that this Lu Huancheng was accustomed to it, and the bigger his appetite, the more he was now, which actually hindered the business of the shop, which really annoyed her.

Thinking of this, she was full of anger and slammed the tea bowl on the table, and the tea splashed everywhere. The shopkeeper of Naxia had never seen her so angry, but because of his words, he hurriedly laughed and said: "Don't blame grandma, the little one is just telling the truth, and there is no idea of provoking grandma's house." Since grandma is angry, the little one will not talk about it in the future. Xia Chunchao said lightly: "Shopkeeper Xia, you and I have been for a long time." When I was in my mother's house, you listened to my errands. I have to marry and open this shop, and thanks to your care before and after the saddle all these years, otherwise this business would never have been so smooth. Your character, I know in my heart, and you don't have to be so careful. Even if you don't mention it, the accounts of the store will be sent to me, how can I not know? The lord spends money in the store, I knew it, but the amount is not large, and the lord is a character on the scene, so it is inevitable that there will be some entertainment, and he will spend some money, which is also in common sense. But he took so much without telling himself, and even disturbed the flow of water in the shop, and I could not allow him to do so. From today on, if the master comes to the shop to get money again, you will say that I don't think it is safe to put the silver in the shop, and the large amount of silver money is stored in the silver shop. If he wants money, he will come to his house and talk to me. ”

Shopkeeper Xia agreed one by one, and said with a smile: "Grandma has orders, next time the master comes, we will naturally follow it." After a pause, he said: "Grandma's idea is good, the silver is indeed a little bad in the shop, and it is easy to be worried about Xiaoxiao, so it is safer to store it in the silver shop." ”

Xia Chunchao was distraught, sighed, and asked again, "What does the master do to spend so much silver?" The shopkeeper Xia said: "I don't know the little one, and the old man didn't want to say it when he came." I was in a hurry to ask, and the master wanted to be angry, and only said that we were not worthy of asking. We respected his identity, and we didn't have grandma's orders, so we had to let him take the money. Xia Chunchao asked, "Did he come to get the silver in person?" Shopkeeper Xia said: "Exactly." Xia Chunchao was suspicious in his heart, thought about it for a while, and said: "He usually has no other expenses except for buying those rags." Even if you buy goods, in the past, it was just bookkeeping. He did this because he was afraid that people would know the use of the money, and it was really suspicious. After saying that, he muttered for a while, and then whispered to the shopkeeper of Naxia: "You send two clever and reliable guys to check carefully." When you get the news, you will tell me the money you will send to me. ”

The shopkeeper Xia agreed again and again, and Xia Chunchao said again: "There is also the mildew of this goods, which is very strange, and you should also check it carefully." I always feel that this thing is weird, obviously good goods, why are they all broken? In this world, money can make ghosts grind. Bao Buqi is a few other dry goods stores, we are red-eyed, and we are secretly moving. ”

The shopkeeper Xia was ordered, and Xia Chunchao saw that there was nothing else to do, so he took stock of the accounts, and saw that he had lost a lot of money this month, and he lost a lot of money, but he was anxious.

However, there was no other way for a while, so I only sat in the shop once, and then I had to go back.

Shopkeeper Xia personally sent her to the door, and Zhu'er was about to get into the car with her, but saw Shen Changyu coming out of the store next door.

When Shen Changyu saw her, he stepped forward, stretched his body, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen my sister for a long time, but my sister has lost a lot." I heard that Lingfu was promoted and became a third-grade general, and my sister should be happy, why did she become haggard? When Xia Chunchao saw him coming, he didn't want to leave, so he had to stop and return the salute, and replied with a light smile: "I often have no contact with Shen Gongzi, what do I look like, how can Shen Gongzi remember clearly?" How do you know that I am so haggard? However, Shen Gongzi is full of energy and high spirits today, and there must be some happy events in the house. Isn't it where the son took a good look at the family affair and thought it was a continuation of the string? ”

Shen Changyu looked at her, his eyes were blazing, and he said, "Yes, I really look at a family affair in the bottom." At present, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. Xia Chunchao listened to his words reversed, I didn't know what he meant, but he just saw the people coming and going in front of the store, and his eyes were numerous, so he didn't want to entangle with him more, so he hurriedly made a speech, and then boarded the car and left.

That Shen Changyu stopped, watched the car kick away in dust, turned the intersection and disappeared, only then did the corners of his mouth bend slightly, and he entered the door.
