Chapter 28 Shops in the North and South
Bu Qin came back from outside, and found that today's courtyard was exceptionally clean, without the noise of the past, pushed the door into the room, and saw Xi Yunzhi counting things, and the baby spread out a table.
Seeing him walk in, Xi Yunzhi smiled sweetly, Bu Qin couldn't help but pinch her watery cheek twice, and then sat down, and said while unzipping her belt:
"Are you going to set up a stall to sell?"
Xi Yunzhi listened to his ridicule, couldn't help but glance at him coquettishly, and said, "Husband, you're laughing at me again, I'm just taking things out and comparing them, you see ......"
When Xi Yunzhi said this, he sent the two pearls in his hand to Bu Tan, and said: "This is a pearl in the pile of things you gave me, this is what I bought for eight taels of silver in the market today, no matter in terms of fineness, size, and workmanship, the pearl given by the husband is obviously much higher, and the market price will never be less than two hundred taels." ”
While drinking tea, Bu Qin listened to Xi Yunzhi's opinions on her, looked at her serious appearance, and couldn't help but say:
"This pearl was taken from the royal family of Naye, are you sure it is only worth two hundred taels?"
Xi Yunzhi was stunned when he heard the word 'royal family' behind this thing, but when he remembered his husband's former business, he didn't feel strange, so he took the abacus beads from the side, and crackled for a while:
"If it comes out of the royal family, it will naturally be more than two hundred taels."
Bu Qin smiled, raised his hand and knocked on the door of her head: "It's really a small thing of power." ”
Xi Yunzhi finally calculated the price, and then raised his head and said to Bu Qin:
"How is this a force? As far as workmanship is concerned, the bead is worth only two hundred taels, but if you add its origin and background, it is worth two thousand taels, and if anyone happens to recognize that it came from the royal family of Nayah, it is a priceless treasure. ”
“……”
Bu Tan didn't know what she had been thinking about all day in her head, and it seemed normal to be able to say a crooked reasoning, and then glanced at the pearl she said she bought today, and suddenly remembered something, and asked:
"By the way, you went out shopping with your cousin today? Do you want to buy something for them? ”
Xi Yunzhi withdrew his gaze on the jewelry, looked at Bu Tan, and naturally shook his head, but Bu Qin was very surprised by her answer, this is not like his little wife's character who loves to buy people's hearts.
Xi Yunzhi put down the things in his hand, and said to Bu Qin: "Husband, it's better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, it's not okay for cousins and aunts to live habitually dependent on others like this." ”
"What do you want?"
Bu Qin is thinking about this problem for the first time, in the past, the Bu family was prosperous, he felt that raising a few women was not a problem, but he didn't expect that the Bu family would also have a day of trouble, these cousins, cousins don't have any survival skills, it's really not good.
Seeing that his little wife looked like he was in a bamboo in his chest, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of method she wanted to use to 'teach her to fish'.
Xi Yunzhi told Bu Tan what he thought in his heart, and Bu Tan didn't feel inappropriate when he heard it, but he was a little worried:
"Your idea is good, but my cousins are used to being pampered and won't want to do it."
Only then did Xi Yunzhi bow her head and fiddle with her jewelry, and said with a smile: "Once a person's * exceeds what he has, he will do anything." ”
When Bu Qin heard her say this, he instantly understood in his heart, no wonder today's courtyard is so clean, I think the little wife has already started her plan, and it seems that there is some success.
"There are so many people, you can control it?"
Xi Yunzhi looked at Bu Qin with a smile and shook his head: "The more people, the better it is to control?" ”
Bu Qin immediately came to his senses and said two words:
"Checks and balances." As long as the checks and balances are identified, the more people there are, the easier it is to control.
I saw Xi Yunzhi nodding again, and winked at her husband a few times: "There are many people, there are disputes, there are disputes, there are comparisons, there are comparisons, there are jealousies, and there are weaknesses with jealousy......"
Bu Qin saw her ordinary appearance, but it set off a thousand waves in her heart. He really didn't expect that a woman who had never fought a war and didn't understand the art of war would have such a big mind, and she knew how to check and balance with more than one teacher, this is a tactic, and it is also the art of the emperor, and it was used so lightly by a little woman to control people, if you don't hear it with your own ears, it is really hard to believe.
His wife refreshed his understanding of her every day, like an inexhaustible treasure, which made him sink deeper and harder to extricate himself.
Xi Yunzhi rented two shops on Xiangluo Street at once, one with a locked door, and the other with decorations and green.
In the bazaar in the south of the city, several times a month, Persian merchants came to sell and receive goods, and they either crossed from the desert or traveled by boat for months before coming to Middle-earth, bringing rare objects from various countries, some of which were exchanged for silver, and some of which were bartered.
Xi Yunzhi also knows a few businessmen, these people are different from the businessmen in the Central Plains who ask for connections, what they want is fair price competition, which means that as long as you give money, even if you contract the whole ship alone, there is no problem.
Of course, Xi Yunzhi didn't have that much financial resources to package the goods of the entire ship, but it was still okay to buy some new and beautiful jewelry from them, and the colorful gauze satin.
She named her shop the North and South Shop, and told people the nature of the shop simply and directly.
Because she has a good business and a good vision, the business of the shops in the north and south is very good.
In fact, she has long had the idea of opening such a store.
She has been helping the Xi family for many years, but she has never seen someone collect rare objects from various places in the south of the city market and buy and sell them uniformly, and most of the ladies and ladies in the city cannot often wander the streets.
In Luoyang City, everyone knows that Xiangluo Street is a place that specializes in selling women's things, Xi Yunzhi's shop provides them with a lot of convenience, and the novelty also makes them increase a lot of knowledge.
Xi Yunzhi also specially asked someone to prepare several Accords upstairs in the store for some deep ladies to buy separately, which was also very popular with the daughters of the boudoir.
For a time, the shops in the north and south became the first choice for girls to come to Xiangluo Street.
Xi Yunzhi made a lot of money, and every day when she went home, she counted the amount in the hall without hesitation, and she was keeping accounts on this day, but she saw Aunt Lan coming over with a few cousins.
She put down her abacus and pen and ink, and asked with a smile:
"Cousin, cousin, are you all in trouble?"
Aunt Lan was elected by everyone to talk to her, only to see her chubby hands stirring up, holding back a red face, and finally said a sentence:
"That...... A few of us also have some treasures in our private collections, can you sell them for us at a good price in that shop? ”
After Xi Yunzhi glanced at them, he said calmly: "The shops in the north and south do not accept old products. ”
Aunt Lan and the others showed embarrassment and disdain on their faces, and they were about to turn around and leave, but they heard Xi Yunzhi say while planning to dish:
"But if it's some handmade embroidery, it's very popular."
Aunt Lan and the others looked at each other, retracted their steps to leave, and leaned on the table and asked Xi Yunzhi:
"You mean, we're going to embroider some veils or whatever, and you're willing to take it?"
Xi Yunzhi smiled and nodded, and gave them an affirmative answer: "As long as the handiwork is fine, it will definitely be accepted." ”
“……”
Aunt Lan waited for Xi Yunzhi's words, so she changed her previous embarrassed expression, pushed one by one, and returned to the room happily.
Xi Yunzhi looked at the backs of them leaving, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he put away the two boxes of pen, ink, paper, inkstone and silver on the table back to the room.
Finally, I can stop settling accounts in public.
