Chapter 50: Watching People Through the Cracks in the Door
"Siniang, don't be in a hurry to buy anything else, Dad will accompany you to buy a piece of good material first, and let your mother cut new clothes for you, right?" As soon as he came out of the grocery store, Zhao Yongzhong pointed to the cloth village directly opposite and said.
Zhao Siniang is very happy that her father in this life can think of buying clothes for her, you must know that although her father in her previous life also loved her very much, he preferred to mingle with his younger brother, the two of them were like brothers, wearing the same clothes all day long, but they never even bought a pair of socks for her daughter.
But although she was very happy, Zhao Siniang still shook her head and said, "Dad, did you forget?" We visited that cloth village a few days ago, and his family specializes in fabrics produced in Ning and Shu, and the materials of the same texture are at least two percent more expensive than others. To be honest, I'm going to buy some fabric to go home today, but this house is too tricky, so let's go to another house to buy it! ”
Zhao Yongzhong has always been obedient to Zhao Siniang's words, but this time he retorted uncharacteristically: "Don't cheat people!" His cloth is really good-looking! You get what you pay for, let's go to that store and buy it! ”
Zhao Siniang complained silently: It's good-looking, and the price is amazing! If his family sells ordinary materials, she can barely accept it even if it is two or three percent more expensive, but the key is that the main business is silk! Even if she went to buy his cheapest silk, she would probably have to say goodbye to her with the silver that had not yet been warmed!
Thinking of this, Zhao Siniang unconsciously pressed the bag of broken silver stored close to her.
Zhao Yongzhong noticed the little girl's inadvertent small movements, and persuaded with a smile: "Don't buy more, just go and pull two feet, just let your mother make you a small short jacket!" As for the money to buy cloth, you will pay it first, and the dividends will be distributed at the end of the month, and my father will return it to you!
Is her father planning to borrow enough money to buy luxury goods? Zhao Siniang couldn't help but be stunned, but when she came to her senses, she didn't refuse again, and followed her father to the extremely expensive cloth village.
Zhao Siniang followed, and her heart floated up: it is true that her father is generous and does not attach too much importance to money, but her father treats others generously, and he still pursues thrift and thrift in his bones. Therefore, her father suddenly offered to buy her such an outrageously expensive thing, which really made her puzzled.
But when Zhao Siniang stepped into the door of the cloth village and saw the row of silk on the most eye-catching part of the counter, she was attracted by one of the rose-red silk brocades.
If she remembered correctly, Zhao Yongnian's illegitimate daughter was wearing a small short jacket cut from this material. Her father is planning to say goodbye to Zhao Yongnian, and compare to see whose daughter looks better in this little jacket?
Sure enough, Zhao Yongzhong pointed to the cloth and said: "Our fourth mother's vision is really good, and the material we look at is not ordinary!" The whole Changle Town is the most glamorous and beautiful in it! Make a small jacket out of it and it will definitely look good on you! ”
Zhao Siniang laughed twice in her heart, which can make a big man see the clothes they are wearing, and immediately recall that the material from the source is indeed unusual. In fact, she was also impressed by this material, I remember that day in this cloth village, she asked the price of several materials, and when she asked about this one, she decided to turn around and leave: I can't bear it!
My dear father! Where did you see that I had a soft spot for this material? When did turning around and walking become a favorite expression?
Zhao Siniang was about to ask, when Yu Guang inadvertently swept the material again, and the memories of her previous life suddenly came flooding back, and she began to vaguely understand why her father insisted on buying fabric for her in this shop.
So Zhao Siniang nodded obediently, lowered her eyelids slightly, covered her complicated eyes with her long eyelashes, and said, "Since Daddy said that Siniang looks good in a small jacket made of it, then let's buy some back!" ”
The shopkeeper on the side saw that the father and daughter in coarse cloth clothes were pointing fingers at the most expensive cloth in the town, and sneered in their hearts: Our shop is open at the corner of the street, and from time to time some countrymen who have never seen the world will run in to see the strangeness. But the shopkeeper didn't let people go, saying that they were all guests at the door, and they were really annoying to say hello!
This guy had been working in the town for a few years, and he couldn't remember that he was actually a countryman.
"This brocade is from Ningguo, and you need twenty taels of silver to buy one. Let's go look at the other ingredients! Although the fellow took the initiative to say hello, his nostrils were facing the sky, and his face was impatient.
Zhao Siniang saw it, but she didn't turn around and leave without saying a word like last time, but asked patiently: "Twenty two horses?" That's 500 yuan a foot, can this material be sold for two feet alone? ”
The guy sneered, tilted his head and said, "Yo, you also know that it's 500 yuan a foot?" Those two feet are the usual money! The little girl is full of firewood, can you afford to buy brocade? I said that man, you better hurry up and take the little girl away! Don't mess around here! ”
Zhao Siniang knew that she was dressed shabbyly, and she was often not welcomed. A few days ago, she had visited almost every shop on this street, and many of the shopkeepers and men in the shops ignored them, but she had never met someone who spoke ill of her like this.
"Little second brother, I, I, not ......" Zhao Yongzhong's face turned red and he felt embarrassed. is even more annoyed that he dragged his little girl in, and he was angry with others for no reason.
Zhao Siniang pulled her father's sleeve, shook her head, and stopped her father's words that he wanted to argue.
If she had met such a clerk in her previous life, she wouldn't have much?? Collect? What is the fat of Ben You? Yamaki gray lie?? Offering uranium? Confused? Tricky? Before the tampling of the drought and the unification of Qu? Sack? Cherry? What is the eternal sloppy? Bad streets? Cherry? Sodium cunning? Stealing the wreckage? Yo toad patted the bad childish strings??? Reading the poppy brake waving the rose p Nai Yi intimidating the Yellow Vulture Province o Sincerely Xuan Yun Yun Zhi wish Yao Yaoyao? Cooking? p > the guy was embarrassed when he saw the silver, and he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and said with a grin: "Don't sell it!" ”
"Not for sale? Do you not only sell materials? Or is it just not sold to us? I heard that the materials sold in Hengyuan Cloth Store are second to none in Changle Town, but I didn't expect that this ability to pick guests is also first-class! Where's your shopkeeper? I want to ask him for advice, there is a shopkeeper in the shop who drives the guests with real money out, so the shop can still last in Changle Town for more than ten years, there must be some unique tricks here, right? Zhao Siniang said loudly.
Rabbits bite when they're in a hurry! What's more, Zhao Siniang's temper is not very good, she came to buy things sincerely, but she was robbed of white again and again, it's no wonder if she doesn't have a seizure at this time!
This Hengyuan cloth store is quite large, with two floors. Let's not mention the second floor, let's talk about this floor, there are not only Zhao Siniang and their two guests at this time, but also more than that guy and a shop guy. Originally, everyone didn't notice what was happening here, but now when they heard Zhao Siniang say it so loudly, they turned their heads to look at what their father and daughter were wearing, and saw the broken silver that Zhao Siniang was holding in his hand, so they guessed about it. So the guests began to talk about it, and some righteous guests even said something like "the store bullies the customer". One of the two guys on the first floor who was entertaining other guests was a little old, and he hurriedly went to the back to ask the shopkeeper to come over.
When the guy saw this, he began to get scared. He just watched a few people dressed as housekeepers send a letter to the shopkeeper, and after a cursory look, the shopkeeper led a few of them to the back in a hurry. Now that there is no one to supervise the store, he dares to be so presumptuous. If this matter goes to the shopkeeper, he will have to walk around without eating.
So the guy hurriedly smiled and said, "This girl, it's me who is wrong, I can't compensate you here." Just now it was my dog who looked down on people, and the lard was blinded, and his mouth was full of firewood......"
Zhao Siniang waved her hand and said lightly: "Okay, okay!" I'm here to buy cloth, and you just tell me whether this cloth sells alone or not, and I don't bother to bother with you about the rest. Sell, negotiate the price, cut two feet and I'll leave. If I don't sell it, I'll leave now. ”
"This ......" Of course, the fellow wanted to send the two pestilence gods away before the shopkeeper came out. But in front of so many customers, there are still many regular customers in it, and I really don't dare to lie that I can't sell it alone. But if it is sold, it is bargaining, and it is cutting cloth, and the shopkeeper will have to come out......
"The silk and satin pieces sold in the shop are all high-quality, so they are very expensive. There are very few people in our town who are willing to pay such a large price for a horse, and they are all here to cut such a few feet. "The guy doesn't have to worry about it, because the shopkeeper has already walked over quickly.
The shopkeeper hugged his fists at Zhao Yongzhong's father and daughter and said, "The small shop is not well entertained, and I ask the two guest officers to forgive me." ”
Zhao Yongzhong saw that the shopkeeper in the sauce-red silk shirt came to apologize to him in person, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, don't worry!" Shopkeeper, you're so polite! ”
"Shopkeeper, since this material can be sold alone, then cut me two feet. It's just two feet of money, so you'll have to let me do a little bit, right? Zhao Siniang was too lazy to grind any longer, pointed to the brocade and said bluntly.
The shopkeeper heard from the guy who reported that it was this little girl who revealed Qiao Fusheng's matter of watching the guests to serve the food, and she didn't dare to slack off, and said with a smile: "Done!" Today, this matter is not authentic in our shop, so it should be regarded as an apology to the two, and this material will be counted as a loss to the two! ”
Loss? The devil believes! But it can be a little less, although there have been some twists and turns in the middle, Zhao Siniang is quite satisfied with this result.
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper really gave an extremely favorable price: two feet of rose-red silk brocade only charged Zhao Siniang 800 yuan, and also gave an additional two feet of dark green fine yarn silk cloth. This made Zhao Siniang suspect that the shopkeeper really gave a loss.
In the end, the shopkeeper personally sent the father and daughter to the door. This puzzled Zhao Siniang again, how could the shopkeeper with such a good attitude towards customer service recruit such a guy.
