Chapter 32: The Sleek Merchant
Tang Tiezhu said honestly and modestly: "Where is she as good as you say, hehe, don't call me a guest officer, I am a village man, my surname is Tang, my name is Tang Tiezhu, you can just call me by my name,"
The gold shopkeeper is a businessman, and they all say that there is no treachery or business, but this gold shopkeeper gives people the impression of being particularly kind and kind, and when he heard Tang Tiezhu say this, he smiled and said: "Okay, what do Tang brothers want to buy?" ”
Tang Tiezhu scratched his head and said innocently: "My two sons are going to study in the school this year, I want to buy them some pen and ink and rice paper to practice calligraphy," and said a little embarrassedly: "Just like Xiao Er said just now, I really don't have so much money to buy good things in your store, just general." ”
The golden shopkeeper did not look down on Tang Tiezhu, and introduced it very carefully: "Look at Brother Tang is a real person, I don't want to fool you, like your baby who has just studied, the pen is still a little better, as for the paper, you can use the general, if you use the rice paper with a good hand, it is a bit wasteful, the little baby has just learned to write, and it is very important to use a good pen,"
Tang Qinger listened to what the golden shopkeeper said on the side, and couldn't help nodding, the so-called work wants to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, a person who does handicraft or craft, if you want to complete the work and do it perfectly, you should first prepare the tools, just like reading and writing, you must have a good brush to write well, this shopkeeper does say the truth, what she said is very reasonable, she came with today, one is to see if she can find any business opportunities in the town, and make a fortune with her father, and the other is afraid that her father and mother will be fooled, and there is no money to buy expensive ones, She came with her to express her opinions on the side, and seeing that what the golden shopkeeper said was the truth, she didn't want her to say more.
Tang Qing'er looked at her father and mother and glanced at each other, hesitated, and said: "Dad, I think the shopkeeper uncle is right, let's buy it according to what he said, wood and stone don't know how to take a brush, so the brush should be a little better, so that you can practice good words, but what about rice paper, if they use it well, if they write it wrong, it will be a waste of rice paper, not to mention that it will be a waste of money, it is better to use ordinary rice paper, so even if it is bad, we will not feel distressed, Dad, do you say it?" ”
A person like the golden shopkeeper is the most suitable for the most business, familiar with the world, familiar with all kinds of people, can compile his own network, and is very tactful and rational to deal with problems.
The golden shopkeeper looked at the little girl in front of him, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, she was smart and clever, and she was able to penetrate it at one point, but it was a pity that she was born in a peasant family like Tang Tiezhu.
Tang Tiezhu felt that his daughter's analysis was this reason, and even his mother-in-law nodded with him, so he took two good sheep's hair pens, two hundred yellowed rice papers, and a piece of black ink according to what the gold shopkeeper said, and spent a total of two taels of silver. ”
The shopkeeper just wanted to interject to speak, but the shopkeeper Jin coughed, glared at him and said, "Today, Xiao Er is not well entertained, I will give these things to Brother Tang according to the purchase price, please accept them no matter what,"
Tang Tiezhu hurriedly pushed the things back and said: "Don't hide it from the shopkeeper, I only brought out three taels of silver, I really don't have that much money in my hand, although I really want to buy these things, but I can't let you suffer, if you have more money, you can have more money, if the money is not enough, then I will take less rice paper, and when I save enough money, I will buy it from you,"
The gold shopkeeper felt that Tang Tiezhu was really worth paying, but he said: "I didn't lose, businessmen can do loss-making business, I give you the purchase price, because I think you can be a friend, I want to be friends with you, and sell these things to you, I just didn't earn the difference between you, it doesn't mean that I lost, I gave you the purchase price for you, you can accept it with confidence, I really don't want to go, and so on in the future, your two babies have a chance, you will say to so people: Your pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all bought from me, By then, my business will be booming, haluha."
Tang Tiezhu was very grateful in his heart, and he also said a lot of words of thanks, but in the end, it was the golden shopkeeper who smiled and turned the topic away.
A quarter of an hour later, Tang Tiezhu and they came out of Rumo Zhai, Li saw a cloth village, calculated that there was still a tael of silver in his pocket, so he stopped the pace of the house, she took her daughter's hand and walked in, wanted to inquire about the amount of money in the sackcloth, and after entering, she saw the little two of this cloth village greeted them warmly: "Hello guest officer, do you want to buy cloth?" Our store has a complete range of fabrics and reasonable prices. ”
When they met such an enthusiastic shopkeeper, they were more nervous than when they entered Rumo Zhai just now, so that they didn't dare to ask anything, and described it in that sentence: "It's really a smiling person, you are too indifferent, you are stimulated and furious, you are too enthusiastic, you are even more unblessed, people are really a cheap animal." ”
Li Shi stabilized his mind and said, "Little brother, how much money is a foot of this batch of blue cloth on your counter?" ”
Xiao Er smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, you have a really unique vision, this cloth is the best cloth sold in our store, strong and durable, but this one is a bit expensive, twelve cents and one foot,"
Li Shi hesitated a little, this fabric is really good, but it is a bit expensive, there is only one or two silver left in his hand, and he has to make clothes for wood and stone to go to school, and if he can still have some money left, he has to make thick cotton jackets for Qing'er and Jiao'er.
Xiao Er is also a good looker, seeing Li's hesitation, he recommended another piece of fabric to Li's, pointed to the dull and yellowish fabric on the counter and said: "Sister-in-law, this piece of fabric is also good, it is the goods of the year before last, and it has been pressed in the warehouse to become the bottom of the goods, and this time it was discovered by the shopkeeper, and it was put out for sale, and our shopkeeper said to me when he left, if someone is optimistic about this piece of cloth and buys it all, it will be sold for eight cents a foot, you touch this feel, and the material of the cloth you touched just now is the same, but the color is older, But it's all sturdy and durable,"
Li touched it, it was really good, it was almost the same as the feel just now, although the color was a little dark for the sons to wear, but it was cheaper than four wen per foot just now, not to mention that the owner could wear it, and it could also be used as a lining to make two cotton clothes for the girls, a piece of cloth was forty feet, eight cents a foot, and it cost three hundred and twenty wen, so that there was still six hundred and eighty wen left in the pocket, so he decided to buy this batch, took out the silver money from his arms and gave it to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper took the money with a smile, and handed the batch of cloth to Li and said: "Sister-in-law, you are really a cheerful person, If you still want to buy cloth in the future, come to me, and I will give you a fair price,"
Li took the cloth and said with a smile: "The second brother will still do business, if I buy cloth to make clothes in the future, I will definitely come here to find you,"
Tang Tiezhu is a man, he doesn't understand women, so he hasn't squeaked, and Tang Qing'er watched Li and the shopkeeper buy and sell on the side, and after showing a satisfied smile, he didn't forget to praise each other, so he didn't bother to look at them, looked around the decoration of this store, and unconsciously looked at the three big bags placed in the corner out of his eyes, trotted to the shopkeeper and said, "Little brother, what are your big bags in?" ”
