Chapter 294: Price Disputes
Yun'er suddenly felt very thirsty, so she said to Yu'er Shui'er: "Sister Yu'er, you two go downstairs to the hall, there are some open boxes in the corridor aisle, and bring more than a dozen cans of drinks, which are those tin cans. If it's not easy to take it, pour out an empty box and put it in it, and you two will carry it back. Yu'er Shui'er agreed, and quickly brought back the canned drink and a few porcelain bottles of yogurt. Yun'er picked up a porcelain bottle, pierced the seal of the paper with a straw attached to the porcelain bottle, and sucked it. After taking a sip of water, he frowned and said, "Master, don't drink it, it's sour." ”
One sentence made Yun'er laugh and squatted on the ground, pointing to the water and saying intermittently: "You are really a good, a mallet, this is yogurt, it is sour from the beginning." ”
"Huh? And the cows that make yogurt? "Shui'er said a word to the old roots.
Yun'er held her stomach and laughed.
"Master, is this the price you set?" The fish's face was wrinkled like a bun.
"yes, what's wrong? Is it high or low? Yun'er wondered why Yu'er had this expression.
"If it's lower, it's better to give it away for nothing!"
"You're saying I've set the price low?"
"You sold such beautiful jewelry for fifty dollars?" Yu'er said indignantly holding up a step called a horn material.
"How much do you want to sell?"
"At least a tael of silver, right?"
"You want to be a robber? I'll whisper to you two that this thing doesn't cost a lot......"
"Stop me!" Yu'er called herself "I" for the first time, and it was also the first time that she had a strong attitude towards Yun'er in front of Shui'er: "Are you stupid? Do you say that the cost of your own things is low? We are here in the Qing Dynasty, not in a foreign land! Besides, you and the prince bought these things, and you don't have to think about it to know how hard it is. Isn't it to buy it back to make money? If you buy it for a penny and sell it for a penny, are you sick? If you don't sell at the price of the Qing Dynasty, do you have to run other merchants into yellow shops? ”
The fish's tough attitude frightened Shui'er, and he grabbed Yu'er's arm and shook it vigorously: "Sister Yu'er!" You can't talk to your master like that! ”
Yu'er then remembered that her attitude towards speaking was wrong, and she quickly admitted her mistake: "I'm sorry master, the slave is out of shape, please punish the master." He knelt down as he spoke.
"Why do you say kneel and kneel? Hurry up! So saying, I came to pull the fish. The fish refused to get up, and her eyes were full of tears: "My father-in-law said that you have suffered a lot in a foreign land, suffered a lot, and experienced life and death disasters, and sold your family's antiques for some goods bought for money. No matter how much money it is in a foreign land, you will come back to live in this part of the Qing Dynasty, and you must follow the rules here. Slave and maid, please don't say that the things you bought are cheap, okay? ”
"Okay, okay, I see, isn't it no one else? Besides, not everything is cheap when you buy it, I'm talking about what we're looking at today. Yun'er could only pull back the words.
"Whatever it is, don't say that again, okay? Slave begs you! "I'm going to kowtow as I say that.
Yun'er gave Shui'er a look, and the two of them pulled the fish up together.
"Didn't I promise you? How could there be such a big reaction? ”
"In the past few days since you came back, the slave has been blocking her heart. In the hall, in the annex building, as well as in the Suzhou house, in the courtyard, in the treasury, and those gifts for people, the slave and maid don't know how much money you and the prince spent and how much effort they put into transporting it back. Isn't it to come back and make money? How can it not be taken seriously? The slave maid makes a bet with you, you pick out a little bit of everything here and show it to Fu Jin, let her give a price, you compare it, and see how much it is different? Don't always look at the Qing Dynasty from an exotic perspective, okay? ”
"Forget it. Fu Jin is not familiar with the price of exotics, what if it is set at ten taels of hairpins? How do I refute this? ”
"Wouldn't that be better?"
"Doing business is to make money, but there must also be a bottom line to make money, not the more the better, it is enough to stop. There are also rules for doing business, you have to make money, but you can't be mercenary. Fujin She doesn't know what materials these things are made of, they must be measured by the standards of the Qing Dynasty, but do you know? Once Fu Jin sets the price, I will no longer have the right to speak! I'm the one who sets the price for exotic goods, and I'm familiar with the cost of these things, this is the order given to me by the eldest sister and the prince over there! ”
"Master! The master and slave are wrong! Don't be angry, okay? Yu'er immediately understood what the master meant, and also understood how much of a taboo his master had committed by his impulsiveness today, and hurriedly knelt in front of Yun'er: "The slave is ignorant! Slave ......"
"Alright! Kneel down at every turn! Hurry up, I don't blame you! There are some things you don't know. If I set it too low, I can mention it a little, but to say that a hairpin like this sells for one or two silver is tantamount to robbing the house! ”
"The slave is wrong, please punish the master." The fish's tears fell in large gulps. The master is rarely so strict with himself, which shows that he is really angry with her.
"Hurry up, okay?" Yun'er was most afraid of this pitiful appearance, stretched out her hand to pull the fish up, and said angrily, "How big is it worth this?" Those who do not know are not to blame. ”
After Master Yun recovered from her illness, she hadn't seen her lose her temper, why did she lose her temper today? In fact, Yu'er didn't feel that what he said was outrageous, since doing business is to make money, making money is to make as much money as possible, why are you still angry?
Shui'er was also scared enough, glad she didn't talk much. In fact, she and Yu'er have the same opinion, the things brought back by Master Yun are so beautiful and exquisite, they will definitely be able to sell for more money. Isn't it just to make money by bringing things back from afar?
If the hairpin taken out by the master is produced in the Qing Dynasty, how can it be sold for two or three taels to five taels of silver, no matter how little it is, it cannot be less than one or two pieces of silver, and the minimum is five hundred wen, right? The master means that more than 300 words will not work. These are all new goods that we don't have in the Qing Dynasty, and it will not be easy to make money after selling low.
Although I thought so in my heart, I would never dare to say it, Sister Yu'er touched the nail.
Looking at Master Yun, he means that he is also a little dissatisfied with Fujin, too, Fu'er has repeatedly provoked trouble, but Fujin has not vented his anger to his master, and no one is happy. Anyway, Master Yun is also the prince's woman, and he is husband and wife with the prince, and he also gave birth to three children to the prince, who are you? If you have nothing to do, you can talk nonsense, and if you change someone, you will breathe out with a big mouth.
In fact, Yun'er didn't say too harsh words, but in Yu'er's case, he was very strict and rushed into his master, and he was very scared and regretful. The most regrettable thing is that he said that he let Fu Jin set a price, and he was a person in the master's room, how did he talk to Fu Jin? Isn't this a betrayal of the master? The more I think about it, the more heartwarming I feel. Yu'er didn't know who the eldest sister the master was talking about, but when it came to pricing, the eldest sister and the prince said that the master had the final say, and there was no matter of Fujin here. Did you bring Fu Jin to suppress the master? Will the master still be able to trust himself in the future? I feel that my fault is too great! I went home to cook and finished crying all the way, and Shui Er didn't listen to any persuasion. She didn't have any opinions about Yun'er, she just hated herself for not having a long brain, but she actually thought things too strictly.
Not to mention everyone's thoughts, it is Shui'er's class at night, and I have come to accompany Yun'er a long time ago. Serve with a hundred hearts. After bathing and before going to bed, Yun'er was still looking at pinyin, but actually looking at the sewing machine, and wanted to take a closer look at what kind of sewing machines were used here. She is going to make a batch of siu mai buns and put them on the market, making siu mai buns is very simple, and the most complicated process is to lock the edge with gold thread. If you use the code edge machine to lock, it is simple to get home, a diameter of seven inches of round yarn can be locked in a minute, how to lock with a hand needle how to take half an hour, it is impossible to have a code edge machine lock then the needle code is exactly the same size.
The sewing machines were all in the pile of goods in the hall, on the second floor of the outermost layer of goods. Yun'er instructed Yu'er Shui'er to remove the outer layer of boxes from the top layer and take the code edge machine, without moving! Yun'er looked at it with Tianmu, no wonder, there were four yard edge machines in one box! There are other accessories, installation tools, etc.
Let's talk about it tomorrow. Tian Liang and Nalan came to report every morning and asked them to pick it up.
Let's talk about the fish, after going home, I cooked the meal, served Tian Liang and Tian Rui's father and daughter for dinner, and then helped Tian Rui and Tian Liang bathe. The rest of the time I made my husband's mille-feuille shoes.
When it got dark, Rui'er was sleepy, so she fell asleep with the doll in her arms. The fish pack up the quilt and get ready for bed. Tian Liang hugged her from behind Yu'er and whispered in her ear, "What's wrong?" Sullen? ”
"Xianggong! The fish did something wrong and made the master angry. After saying that, he began to sob.
"Don't do this, don't do this. Shall we lie down and say? My mother has always been well-behaved, how can she make her master angry, tell me? ”
"What's the use of telling you? Can your identity persuade her? ”
"I can give you advice, say it."
Yu'er told Tian Liang about the day. Tian Liang pondered for a long time before saying, "You have committed a taboo of the master, that is, you should not let Fujin set the price." Although there is already a lot of harmony between the master and Fujin, there are some things that should not be too close. Fu Jin is reasonable, and the people around her are difficult to say. You also know that these goods are all exchanged for Mr. Chen's antiques, and the eldest sister and the prince over there in the foreign land both said that the price of the goods sold in the future will be determined by the master, and when she buys things, she also knows what the cost is, why should others have the final say on the things that people buy with their own money? This is a reason why the master is unhappy. The master is already self-contained enough, and the things he bought with his own money are eaten and drunk for everyone to eat, drink, and brought back to everyone. Fu Jin let the beard go, and the reprimand was also behind his back, and he did not give justice to the master. But you hit the muzzle of the gun and asked Fu Jin to set a price, can she not be angry? Who the hell are you? ”
"Xianggong, then what should I do? Sue me and teach me well? ”
"You women are all cautious, what a big deal this is, and you have lost cat urine."
"You're just dropping cat pee." The fish burst into tears and laughed.
"Tomorrow you find a chance that no one is around, just apologize to her and admit her mistakes."
"It's that simple?"
"It's not that simple, can you still turn against each other?"
"Yu'er is also kind and wants the master to sell for more money."
"She knows that you are kind, but there must be a bottom line to make money, and you can't exceed this bottom line."
"What's the bottom line? The master also said the bottom line. ”
"How so? It's just a standard. For example, if you sell a bun, all the bun shops are two cents a piece, which is a standard, the same bun filling, the same size, and the taste is almost the same, but there is a bun shop that sells it for five cents a piece, which is more than the bottom line of the standard. Also, the prince, Fujin, the master, Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen, and I are all disciples of Master Ganlin, and the master said in a foreign land that doing business is to make money, but you can't ask for a price, and you can't be mercenary. In other words, you can't be insatiable, you have to stop in moderation. It's also a standard, a moral one. Nothing can be excessive. ”
"Xianggong, the fish can be saved, you are all disciples of Master Ganlin, you have to speak and do things better than people in the world, no wonder the master is angry. The fish has violated the master's bottom line. Tomorrow the fish will apologize to the master. ”
"Then you apologize to me today."
"Go! I didn't make you angry, what's the reward? ”
"You've delayed my creation of man."
"Hate hate!" The fish's pink fist was chiseled on Tian Liang's body.
Early the next morning, Yu'er knelt at the door of Yun'er's room. Yun'er also heard the sound of the door, thinking that it was to accompany Shui'er out to fetch water at night, but when she opened her eyes, she saw that Yu'er was kneeling by the door, and she pounced on her without even wearing shoes, pulled up Yu'er, and said in distress: "You are dead, the ground is so cold in the morning, how old is it that you still miss it overnight?" Do we two need this? ”
"The slave really did something wrong and didn't understand what you meant."
"If you're wrong, change it, don't do it! I was also at fault, that is, I was too impatient. ”
"Nope! It's the slave's fault! The slave doesn't understand your feelings......"
"Okay, okay, it's not so strict. There will always be some kind of unhappiness in life. Just let it be a breeze past, okay? It's time for me to get dressed, and then you and Shui'er will dress me up, let's have breakfast, and then say hello to Fujin, and come back to continue to find goods for Nalan Donggui, his little shop is selling well. ”
"But if it's sold out, won't it be gone?" The fish still feel sorry for these things.
"It's right if it's gone, isn't it old if you keep it in your hand? When these things are bought, they make money and send them to the treasury. In contrast, our Qing Dynasty is much poorer than the foreign land. We live in the palace, there is no shortage of food and clothing, and the common people in the market are still very miserable. This is what the two of us said, how many Han people in the Qing Dynasty were convinced that the Manchus would be emperors? The people of Jiangnan, especially the scholars, killed so much. Our prince hopes that the common people will live and work in peace and contentment, and he is also ashamed of the people of Jiangnan, after all, he is a member of the royal family. As you can see, a lot of the things we brought back are suitable for the common people. I can only sue you alone, the cost of these things is not very much, and they are all aimed at ordinary people. If they sell too much, they can't afford it, but they are also the people of the Qing Dynasty, no matter who rules them, they also have to live, women also like to be beautiful, girls want to get married, they can't afford dozens of taels or a dozen taels of jewelry, and they can't wear a branch on their head as a decoration, right? I'm not losing my temper with you, it's that you don't understand my feelings. Don't take it to heart, okay? What's the difference between the two of us and our sisters? ”
"Yes, slave and maid understand. The slave maid said that before, either she was looking for Fujin in her heart, or she felt that the price you set was too low......"
"You don't have to explain what I understand, I know what you do to me, and I know that you think it's not easy for me to bring these things back, and you want to sell them for more money. But making money is not as much as possible, it should be done in moderation. Besides, we don't just sell these things, don't we also have those fabrics? There are also those threads you know, we can also make some by ourselves, the prince has also learned several skills of farming and planting flowers, and Liangzi has also learned business management and the use of equipment, all of which can make money. ”
Yun'er's gentle wind and drizzle soothed the haze on Yu'er's heart, and completely reassured that the master girl did not hold a grudge against herself, and her friendship for more than ten years was broken because of a sentence, how could Yu'er stand it? Without the master, the family would not have its own today!
When he went home at night, Tian Liang knew that Yun'er had forgiven Yu'er, and he also knew that it was okay at all. In a year in a foreign land, Tian Liang understood Yun'er's temperament and character more than before. In the past, he was still upset that Yun'er married a man twenty years older than her, and his identity was still a side room, but now he looks at it, Yun'er is the most suitable to marry the prince. If she changes someone, her talent will be buried, and she also knows that marriage is predestined.
There is no comparison, there is no identification, when Tian Liang was in a foreign land, when he saw some girls in a foreign land, he felt that his daughter-in-law Yu'er was a very good and very good woman. Not only does he take care of himself and his daughter with all his heart, but he is also very good at living, kind-hearted, ingenious, and handsome, which is really impeccable. I don't treat her well, and I think about other women in the water and in the mirror, and I'm too sorry for the fish. So I didn't come back, so I secretly made up my mind that I must be good to Yu'er, care about her, and be considerate of her. No matter what dynasty it is, the husband should be a woman's dependency and protector! I don't know what evil I have committed before! Be sure to change your ways!
Yu'er didn't know that she had a little conflict with her master, and she made her husband's attitude towards her change greatly, which was really a blessing in disguise.
