Chapter 451: Small Coming and Going (1)
γBroadcastγPay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.
Yun'er's suggestion of "small to small" is finally about to open, and the store has been renovated and has a new look. The prince instructed the eunuch Gonggong He and the two little eunuchs, as well as a lot of things for women, to station. Yun'er had set the price of these goods in advance, and it couldn't be set too low in this place. Those who have more money and come here to linger in the flowers must spend some money to please the oirans, so that they can spend more money to honor the girl and have one less dirty deed.
The small door is very small, and at first no one noticed it, thinking it was the previous bun shop. But soon after hanging a very eye-catching plaque, many people here immediately looked at her. The plaque is not carved on wood, and it is not written in regular script, but in imitation of Song characters that are more regular than regular script, but it is not written, it is carved out and glued on, and it has a certain thickness, which makes it look very three-dimensional. The sky blue ground, pure white words, clean and crisp at a glance, and there is a paper-cut effect lotus flower in the lower right corner. The implication is very profound, out of the mud without staining, we are clean.
The prince asked the emperor for his consent, and let the eunuch's father-in-law come to be the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper, because prostitutes don't work for them. The young people in the house can't go here and take risks. The emperor laughed and agreed.
In front of the north wall, there is a long counter with many women's headdresses, various flowers, necklaces, bracelets, rings, etc. The counter is glass-topped, so you can clearly see the contents and place them in a regular manner. Father-in-law He's identity is the shopkeeper, and the two young eunuchs are naturally buddies. A rope was pulled from left to right on the wall behind them, on which hung a lot of sachets, purses, handbags, bags, aprons, door curtains, handkerchiefs, belly pockets, rouge, incense powder, toilet water, nail polish, seat cushions, towels, socks and other daily necessities. There are also embroidery, pillows, fluffy animals, etc., all kinds of everything. There are also paper, ink, brushes, colored papers, seals, plastic flowers, resin flowers, velvet flowers, silk flowers, silk screen flowers, etc., which are placed on the wall shelves flush with the counter.
Many of the goods here are shining, all small and delicate, or how to call it small? The point is that everything here is a style that the Qing Dynasty does not have.
It may be that the faΓ§ade is too small and not so noticeable, and it has been open for three days and no one has patronized it. The two little eunuchs were a little uncontrollable: "Master, we haven't sold any goods, and the prince doesn't blame us for not being able to do business?" β
Gonggong He really had a calm energy, and said unhurriedly: "You two are monkey cubs, you are still wronged, and the important thing in doing business is to be able to endure loneliness and noise." It's rare to be so idle, and if you don't enjoy it for a few days, you may not have this idle day in the future. The prince will not blame us, including me, who are all wasters in business. It's not good, it's raining, small boots, small cabinets, close the door. β
It's dark outside, and the wind is blowing. It's all the wind in the rain, and it's going to rain soon.
Just as the rain crackled and fell, there was a knock on the door of the store: "Can you open the door for trouble?" Borrowed to hide from the rain. A young woman's voice. The little eunuch boots (it should be surnamed Xue) hurriedly opened the door, and sure enough, it was a young woman, dressed well. Cover your head with your hands, as if you can keep out the rain.
"I'm sorry, this rain is too urgent, and I didn't bring an umbrella."
"It's okay, it's okay, girl, come in, it's windy at the door." That means we have to close the door.
The girl was very generous, and turned around and closed the door. Only after taking a closer look at the three people in the room did they realize that this was not a bun shop. He asked strangely, "Uncle, you don't sell buns here?" β
"The bun shop is closed, and we sell things for women."
"Really? Can I take a look? β
"Naturally, girl, please."
The young woman, sheltered from the rain, became the first customer of the shop, patronizing the shop, talking about whether to buy or not. Father-in-law He was given to the prince by the emperor on the day of the prince's housewarming, and he has been a eunuch in the palace for more than 20 years. Looking at this woman's eyes that are getting wider and wider, you know that she likes it. If you like it, you can buy it, so I stood up and accosted: "The goods in our store are all from afar, and we don't have them in the Qing Dynasty." β
"Yes, yes, Uncle is right, I have also visited the jewelry store, and it is really not as good as this style in your store. Can you take it out and have a look? β
"Yes, yes, which one do you want?"
"It's this step hairpin."
Father-in-law He opened the cabinet door, carefully took out the hairpin, and handed it to the woman.
"Wow, the ruby on it is so beautiful."
"Girl, this is not a gem, it was brought by our owner from far away, it is called crystal glass, it is not precious as a gem, but it is also very beautiful."
"You mean the price of this hairpin is not as high as that of a gem-encrusted hairpin?"
"Yes, we don't hide anything from people in business, what is what, if we say that this is a gem hairpin, you will believe it, but it is indeed not a gem, we sell it at the price of a gemstone, isn't it just to confuse you? Our conscience is not justified. β
"This uncle is really a good person, how many people are not mercenary now? It doesn't matter if you have a bad conscience, it's good to make money. I'm so kind to you, I want to ask about the price, and if it's right, I'll buy one or two pieces. β
"The girl chooses herself, and if she talks too much, she will be suspected of selling melons."
"What is this beautiful hairpin made of? How much? β
"That's what you have in your hand, right? This is called an alloy red crystal hairpin, one or two silver. This white is made of ceramic material, and the flowers on it are magnolias, which are five hundred yuan. β
"What material is this bracelet made of?"
"This is a clams material, five hundred wen."
"What is a clams? I've never heard of it. β
"I heard from our host, the clams are in the sea, and they seem to be similar to shells, right?"
"Yes, yes, and the little bag hanging on the wall is so beautiful, or is it hollowed, how much is that?"
"This is a tael of silver, which was hooked by the women in our house one by one, which is particularly troublesome and time-consuming."
"Is it hooked? We really don't have this skill in the Qing Dynasty, but it's a pity that we can't learn it. In this way, I bought all of these things, a total of two and a half pieces of silver, and the silver in my hand is not enough, I will go back and get it immediately, and put the things first, okay? I'm the girl in the swallow building, and it won't take long. β
"How much worse is the girl?"
"I'm still fifteen wen, I'm sorry."
"That's it, the fifteen articles will be sent first, and then they will be sent when there will be more. Our small shop is rented, and we won't leave for a day and a half. β
"Is that good? Thank you very much. I'll introduce you to the sisters who came back to you. β
"Thank you, thank you, there is hard work, the girl walks slowly." That's what Father-in-law He planned, let her bring the things back to the girl in the hall first, and maybe someone would come to buy them. Girls are more beautiful than the mind, you have it and I want to have it. When Gonggong He was in the palace, he knew that those concubines were like this. It's just that this girl forgot about the fifteen wen, and introduced more people to others to buy it, so it should be the advertising fee that Fujin said.
The sky slowly cleared, and the room was much brighter. It is estimated that the girl in Yanzilou didn't read the whole department, so she hurriedly bought a few things. During the day, it is time for the women here to rest, so it is estimated that someone may come.
"You two, cheer me up, maybe there will be guests in a moment. Nothing here is cabbage and eggplant, so you can't be mistaken. β
As he was talking, I heard the voices of many women chattering outside. Sure enough, seven or eight women of different ages entered the store, and He Gongcheng wanted to say hello when he heard a sharp cry: "Wow! Stuff here is pretty tight! β
"Yan Yan, come here, come to the front counter and take a look, why are you as timid as a mouse."
It seems that these girls are quite friendly and can take care of each other.
"Uncle, excuse me, put that towel hanging on the wall, that's a towel, right? Can you take it down and take a look? β
"The one on the wall is the same, the one on the counter is the same as the other, this is this, as soft as a sheep's belly."
"yes, why is it so soft? Fluffy, it must be very comfortable to wipe your face. β
Little Boots said: "This sister, we have all used this towel, it is indeed very comfortable, and the towel is very absorbent." Put it in warm water, wring it out, and apply it to your face, not to mention how comfortable it is. β
"Yes, yes, I buy one, how much does it cost?"
"Forty Texts".
"It's only forty Wen? It's not expensive, it's not expensive, I'll have one too. What's in it on the shelves behind you? β
Father-in-law He was very patient, took some of the goods on the shelf to the glass counter, and introduced: This is rouge, this is incense powder, and this is toilet water and nail polish.
"What are you talking about this toilet water for?"
"It's best to use it in the bath, put a drop or two in the water, and you don't have to sprinkle flower petals. If you are bitten by a mosquito, you can get rid of the itch. This is nail polish, painted on the nails. β
"Nail polish in this nice little bottle? Seeing that the bottles are so exquisite, how to use this? β
Father-in-law He introduced them to how to use it, and also made on-site observations on his little thumb. That's good, I bought eight bottles at once!
Yun'er didn't take too many goods for Grandpa He, because Tian Liang said that the store was very small. But the surprise of this first group of customers shows that other girls will like it too. Although they were a little busy and long-winded, the three of them were still very happy.
Toilet water, rouge, nail polish, sachets, handbags, bags, socks, towels, stuffed animals, plastic flowers, silk flowers, ink, colored notes and other goods are all involved. Such a group of people bought twenty-eight taels of silver. It seems that the Qinglou girl is much richer than the peasant girl, but Father-in-law He is still not optimistic about this profession.
The three of them were very happy when it opened, but the next day's business made them very depressed. The men who came were all men who came to find the girl, naturally they were rich, who came to this place without money? But they are too picky, they originally wanted to buy it, that is, they made irresponsible remarks, which was too annoying! Some people also questioned the gender of the three masters and apprentices. If it weren't for the prince's repeated repudiation that he couldn't quarrel with the guests, Father-in-law He would have wanted to give each of these gentlemen a big cake. It's obviously a stuff with oily head and noodles, and it's still pretending to be Sven, and a few Tang poems are sour, I'm bhew! It took an hour for Father-in-law He to send away this stuff. When they return home, they have to take all the goods away, otherwise they may be stolen.
After returning home, he wanted to report the situation to the prince, and the prince said: "Tomorrow you will send additional manpower, and four guards will take turns to take care of you." Do you have to take care of them, too? They are not allowed to enter the alley. β
"Why?"
"What, why? Can they have your strength to resist sugar-coated shells? β
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Still sugar-coated cannonballs, we would rather not be able to resist than have this determination.
On the third day, there were more guests, not only the benefactors, the girls in the hall, but also the old bustards. The maids in the house have made a lot of fungus flowers, leather band flowers, plastic bead hairpins, alloy jewelry, and titanium jewelry. Initially unnoticed products such as seat cushions, door curtains, handkerchiefs, socks and ink, colored paper, stamps, and silk screen flowers were all attracting attention. The Qinglou women here also have a high level of culture, and they like the ink that does not need to be ground in the shop, as well as elegant colored notes and beautiful seals.
At first, they didn't know that it was socks, but after someone bought them, they put them on a show, and they were immediately recognized, and they flocked to the small store to buy socks without asking the price at all. Almost all of them like white socks that look very clean.
These commodities are only less than one ten-thousandth of the large number of commodities that Yun'er brought to Grandpa He. It seems that it is wiser to set up shop here!
The "small comings and goings" traffic is getting bigger and bigger, and the store space is getting smaller and smaller. The prince instructed Tian Liang and Nalan to find another shop with a larger storefront, preferably two-storey. If you are selling rather than renting, you can also consider it, and the price is a little more expensive.
Mr. Qingke doesn't go to the garden anymore, and he goes out early and returns late every day to help the prince find a storefront. Finally, the hard work paid off, and in a place a little farther away from Bada Hutong, Bai Qi, Tian Liang, and Nalan found a two-story small building at the same time, whether to sell or rent, and the asking price was very high, five thousand taels. The shopkeeper of this house thinks that this place is not too far from Bada Hutong, and it is quiet, and thinks that those high-end people who visit brothels will be a little farther away from Bada Hutong to buy gifts for girls. Tian Liang and Nalan pretended not to know Bai Qi, went upstairs one after another, met the landlord, and discussed the price with him, but when this person saw that it was two young people, he picked up the handle and said that he would not bargain, and the two shook their heads and left.
Bai Qi asked with a smile: "The shopkeeper's surname?" β
"Under the exemption of your surname Tong. This brother's noble surname? β
"Don't give your surname Bai."
"Please sit down, please take a seat. The two of them didn't buy a house at all, they burned their butts, asked for the price, and left without getting along. β
"Young people, how much patience do you have?"
"What price can Brother Bai give?"
Mr. Bai stretched out two fingers: "At most, this is the price." β
"Just kidding, I'm the most quiet place in the middle of nowhere."
"No, if it's a place to live, it's also suitable, and I'm afraid that those who do business rarely have to be quiet. To do business is to make money, can you make money with fewer customers? β
"The shopkeeper Tong said a real price, and Bai also sincerely wants to buy it, how about it?"
"Refreshing! Three thousand five hundred taels, not a penny. β
"Two thousand taels can't be much."
"Brother Bai's price is too ruthless."
"Boss Tong can keep it without selling it. However, as far as I know, Boss Bai is in trouble here. β
"Y-How do you know?"
"Meet in the next meeting, see Brother Tong's Yintang blackened, there must be trouble, to be precise, you have been falsely accused, if you want to stay away from trouble, you can only go to the top with thirty-six plans."
"Brother Bai is really a god, Tong admires it! According to the price given by Brother Bai, two thousand taels, Brother Bai handed over the silver, and Tong handed over the key. β
"Wait! Brother Tong was also a little anxious, Bai didn't bring enough silver tickets, and there were still five hundred taels missing. β
"Then pay 1,500 taels first, and the remaining 500 will be paid tomorrow."
"Brother Tong has a good calculation, and he wants to take away Bai Mou 1,500 taels?"
"Hahahaha! So what? To keep the silver is to leave the head. β
"What if I say no?"
"Then don't blame Tong for not giving face."
"You robber, rob the silver taels in broad daylight, come here!"
"It's useless to call for help, come on, give it to me!"
Behind the shopkeeper Tong, countless doors opened automatically, and each door had a plain white warrior, looking at Mr. Bai with fierce eyes.
"You are the rumored white-clothed gang?"
But after all, you are flesh and blood, and you can't be willing to put your life on the line, and there is no one who can escape here, so hand over the silver, right? β
"Who is this? To speak so loudly? Was my husband frightened by the big words? Tian Liang and Nalan suddenly fell from the sky.
"Who are you?"
"People who buy houses have only heard that they can buy or not, and they have not heard of forcing other people to buy houses. Wouldn't that make it impossible to buy a house? Tian Liang sneered.
"How many of you still don't do it?" Several white-clothed people jumped out of the door behind the shopkeeper Tong as if they had woken up from a dream, and surrounded Tian Liang in the middle. Nalan quietly protected Mr. Bai away, Tian Liang had a rope in his hand, slowly opened it, and shook it violently, the rope swept over the surrounding people like a bolt of lightning, and several people in white knocked down the "divine whip". The second whip flew straight towards the shopkeeper Tong, wrapping him around several times at once, and then his feet left the ground and spun in the direction of the rope. The shopkeeper was so frightened that he was dizzy immediately, because the speed was too fast! After a few laps, he lost his ability to think and fainted. Before the few white-clothed people could stand up, Tian Liang let go of the rope in his hand, and the shopkeeper Tong flew out of the open door and flew towards the fountain in front of the door very accurately, "Poof, plunge into the pool." By the time he woke up by the cold water, the white shopkeeper and his two "bodyguards" had long since disappeared.
Tian Liang's flying rope kung fu made Nalan stunned.
