Chapter 33: Greed is not enough, and the snake swallows the elephant
The two shops given by the general's father are next to each other, located in the downtown area.
The carriage stopped, Lan Xiang, who went down first, lifted the curtain, Baochun came down with a little wine, the fierce dog Rhubarb followed, and the last one to come down was the black fat man, Shen Yan.
This kid lies with her twenty-four hours a day, and he doesn't want to go back even to sleep, which is similar to raising another son.
This is the silk shop. Uncle Ma pointed to the north corner of the road.
It's a good terrain. Bao Chun said as he walked forward.
Judging from the exterior decoration, the customer base should be aimed at some people above the middle level.
When I walked in, I saw two men arranging the fabrics, and when I saw them come in, I hurriedly beckoned them to see the fabrics, and we have all the best fabrics here, all kinds of them, like silk...... The colors are very bright and varied......
Is your shopkeeper here? Uncle Ma interrupted him.
The shop guy didn't buy the cloth at first sight, his enthusiasm was lost, he ignored it, what did he do with our shopkeeper?
Lan Xiang choked, what is the same thing as telling your shopkeeper, telling you, you represent your shopkeeper?
The guy who spoke was flushed, you ......
Ah Shui, what's the matter with the yelling? How many times have I told you, be patient with the guest officer, why are you always stubborn, and next time, you will leave me! A middle-aged man came down from the staircase on the right and scolded the man.
When he turned to face Baochun and his party, his face suddenly smiled as Maitreya Buddha, the guy is not sensible, a lot of forbearance, I don't know how many guest officers are?
Uncle Ma glanced at him, didn't say a word, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over.
The shopkeeper swept his eyes and immediately nodded his head to make amends.
Come on. Uncle Ma stopped and pointed to Baochun who was holding a little wine, this is my young lady, you should also see it, from now on, this shop, the general will give it to my young lady.
Yes, yes. The shopkeeper nodded his head repeatedly, and asked the young lady and a few others to move, let's go to the back living room to talk, Ah Shui, make a pot of tea, and get the best tea.
Hey, I know. The guy named Ah Shui, after a long time, stared at him, wiped the sweat on his head, probably never thought that the boss who controlled his fate would be in it, regret that the green intestines were certain, and when he heard the shopkeeper's order, he quickly turned out of the counter and trotted to the pantry to make tea.
Sit down, serve tea, and talk about the situation in the silk shop.
The shopkeeper said a lot, which can be described as gushing, but there is little useful specific information, most of them are complaining, how difficult the business is, how fierce the competition is, how difficult it is to deal with the dignitaries, how treacherous the cloth merchants, how low the profits are, and so on.
Even the little wine in his arms was displeased, and he glared at the shopkeeper with dark eyes.
The shopkeeper's Leng Buding was smart, looked at it, and finally ended his complaint,...... Miss Three, that's the current situation in the store.
Baochun took a sip of tea, and he also wanted to drink the wine, but Baochun didn't let it, the children's brains were not fully developed, what tea to drink.
The fat black boy over there who drank the bottom in one gulp, looked at the empty teacup, and was stunned, children can't drink tea? It should be said that the small bar, he is the uncle of the wine, he should not be a child, and he should be fine if he drinks it? And what kind of brain, what kind of development, shouldn't it be affected, but, but, my father always said that he was stupid, shouldn't it be......
The black fat boy quickly put down the teacup.
The shopkeeper over there got up and beckoned people to boil water.
Although the boiled water is tasteless, but Xiaojiu can only quench his thirst with this, the woman always has a lot of inexplicable theories, this is not allowed, that is not good, everything has to be managed, there is no freedom at all, it is said that he should be very bored, but why is his heart warm.
The shopkeeper secretly observed Baochun's expression, and saw that he didn't have any objections to his words, and his eyebrows relaxed a lot, probably thinking that Baochun had such a bad reputation, and people who had children out of wedlock were not shrewd to go there, so they knew what kind of business.
But who knew what Baochun said, the troublesome shopkeeper brought the account book to me to see.
The shopkeeper's flute was fluted.
How? Inconvenience?
Convenient, convenient. The shopkeeper beckoned to get the ledger.
Although Baochun said that he had never done business, he also knew that during the inspection, when he was in charge, he first had to let the boss clear the accounts, and this person was perfunctory, but he didn't say a word, obviously not taking her seriously.
The guy brought the account book, and the shopkeeper gave it to Baochun, and a touch of scrutiny flashed in his eyes, and he probably doubted whether Baochun would read the account book.
It is indeed very difficult to read the ledger, and the bookkeeping method is too cumbersome, but it is no problem to understand.
Baochun couldn't help frowning after reading it, and when he saw the wine, he grabbed it and took it to see.
The bear child's little brain is very good, almost unforgettable, and the absorption capacity is particularly strong, looking at this account book is completely unburdened, which once made Baochun very suspicious of his father's identity as a bandit, after all, the bandit's genes will be so strong?
After reading it, the bear child was very angry, threw the account book on the table, and lay on Baochun's body with a cold snort.
Bao Chun touched his head.
What's wrong? Small wine. For Xiaojiu who can read the account book, the black fat boy admires it very much, Xiaojiu is smart, why is he angry after reading it, Xiaojiu is angry, he is also angry.
It's okay. Baochun said, we should also go, and we have to go to other places.
The shopkeeper got up to send him off, and from beginning to end, he didn't see the third lady say anything, he should have been relieved, but the child's last behavior made him a little worried, but, after thinking about it, what can a four-year-old child understand, it is purely blind and worried.
After walking out, Lan Xiang, who couldn't bear it, asked, Miss, is there a difference in the account book?
Baochun shook his head, no.
No, why is the little master so angry?
No, there is also the possibility that the ledger is too good. Baochun said that in this area, it is a sought-after silk business, but the business is not good, and it should not be as profitable as renting out the shop.
It's better to rent it out, why use the capital and let others make money. Xiaojiu snorted.
You mean that the shopkeeper is full of private pockets, how dare he? How can even the general dare to fool? Lan Xiang resented.
Don't get excited, there are few people who are not greedy when they are shopkeepers, but some people are not greedy and can't see it, or the master turns a blind eye, let them work, don't let them eat some sweetness, how can they give you their lives, but some people have a big appetite, thinking that the master is a rough person who is easy to fool, and greed is not enough to swallow elephants, and such people will be supported to death sooner or later.
What is Miss going to do? Uncle Ma asked.
Xiaojiu didn't say it just now. Baochun said, however, this location is very good, it's a pity to rent it out, go back, let's figure out if we can do something else.
The shopkeeper is still drinking tea leisurely and humming, but as everyone knows, he has already done it for a few days.
