"Nalan Department Store" has been open for business for a few days, and the goods in it are all used for daily life, such as feminine products and daily necessities, and it can be said that the goods here are all civilian goods. The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, so there are more festive commodities for the Dragon Boat Festival, and they are all placed in a more conspicuous position. Other goods are hairpins, rings, grease and exotic headdresses for women, as well as household items. These are known as "daily necessities" in foreign lands and have been recognized by the citizens of Beijing, one is convenient, and the other is low price.

There are many TV series in the foreign land that are in business, and Yun'er is slightly involved. She wanted to know the procedures of doing business and the methods of doing business. However, it is very difficult to do business, and all businessmen go out of their homes to purchase goods, and some of them can't even go home for half a year or a year.

Others have to encounter wind, frost, rain, snow, sandstorms, flash floods, and sometimes be looted by bandits, taking their lives. In contrast, Yun'er felt that the conditions for the prince to do business were much better than those businessmen who were serious. One-time purchase, as well as a cave warehouse that no one has found, the goods will not be remembered by thieves and will not be eaten by insects and rats. Looking at the pictures of those businessmen on TV, carrying goods on camels, marching in the sea of reckless sand, Yun'er felt that the prince was in business and the emperor was protecting him, and if he was lucky enough, he must do it well and live up to his master's teachings and his mission.

Recently, Nalan Department Store has several more varieties, including sugar cubes. The prince bought a lot of exotic white sugar, fruit candy, toffee, caramel candy, lollipops, etc. White sugar cannot be sold, and it will be used in cold drinks and restaurant dishes in the future, but these sugar cubes must be "eliminated" as soon as possible.

Tian Liang thought of a way to put all kinds of sugar cubes in a large wide-mouth glass bottle, which was clear from the outside. If someone buys it, the shopkeeper can put a spoon into the bottle and take out the sugar, and each piece of candy has a beautiful wrapper. He also wrapped fish scales around a pillow-shaped wooden block, and used nails to neatly chisel out rows of round eyes in vertical rows, and inserted lollipops into these round eyes, and sold lollipops on the pieces. The sugar in the jar is also sold in blocks according to the level of the cost. Fruit candy is a penny, halva, toffee, and caramel are two pennies, and lollipops are five pennies. The sugar in Daqing is very expensive, mainly because the equipment for producing sugar is too backward, and it is made by hand, and the cost is very high, and the price of white sugar is as high as 100 wen a catty. So the lump of sugar is also expensive. How can ordinary people buy candy by the pound? Can't afford to eat. But it is still possible to buy a piece of candy for a penny or two to satisfy your child's cravings. The wrappers on the outside of these candy cubes attract the children who come into the store, and they are so beautiful that they have to ask their parents to buy them and try them. On selling sugar is Tian Liang's suggestion.

There are also paste window paper Qian'an leather paper, children's toys, stationery, zippers, elastic bands, hair adhesive tapes, hairpins, combs, hair flowers, needles and threads, etc., as well as various fans, in addition to paper fans, fans, sandalwood fans, and exotic plastic fans. The weather is starting to get hot, the plastic fan is not something in the Qing Dynasty, it is not very expensive, no matter what age, what gender, I like the plastic fan very much, because this kind of fan is not afraid of water, not only clean, gorgeous, but also can be brushed.

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and the goods that should be on the festival account for a large proportion of the goods. Originally, Donggui was already very busy, he had to straighten out the goods, familiarize himself, remember the price, and put the goods on the shelves. The old man also came to make trouble: Do you want him to marry Fucha in the near future? Wen Jing passed through the door. made Donggui cry and laugh: looking forward to his daughter getting married, the old man just took Qiao, but he was too busy to join in the fun. According to the analysis of Nalan's guards, now his brother's father-in-law is watching Donggui open a shop as a shopkeeper, and he may make a fortune in the future. Nalan Donggui is no longer the merchant of the Short Clothes Gang but the shopkeeper of the department store, although the social status of the merchant is low, he is much better than being a merchant, right?

In fact, Nalan Donggui was still very happy with his father-in-law's urging. This shows that he has fully recognized himself and is preparing intensively.

Nalan Dongde was also happy for his younger brother, and said to his younger brother: "You are busy with you, and you can't delay the marriage matter, and you have to do it more beautifully." ”

When I returned home, I told the prince that I wanted to ask the prince to send a few personal soldiers to help decorate the house, and marry Fucha as soon as possible according to the will of the lord? Miss Wen Jing came to the door.

The prince said: "Wow, it is a blessing for your family that your brother can marry such a good girl who is affectionate and righteous." The room doesn't have to be gorgeous, it has to be clean and presentable. We brought back the paint to give your brother a little powder to refresh the house. However, the wall must be leveled in advance. ”

So Yun'er carried several large barrels of paint, paint and some decorative materials such as tiles to decorate the pot table from the underground secret room, and under the guidance of Tian Liang, several personal soldiers arranged Nalan Donggui's new house into a warm little home with a modern flavor.

Donggui's uncle secretly came to Donggui's store to see it and saw his son-in-law Nalan Donggui wearing a long robe. Compared with the previous "merchant brother" wearing a white cloth coat and shaking a merchant's drum, it is really a feeling of "shotgun for gun", which is not the same thing at all. Today's Nalan Donggui has a lot more elegance out of thin air. Moreover, the goods in his store are completely beyond the imagination of the master, and many of them are things that the Qing Dynasty does not have! So the old man began to make up his thoughts: Could it be that the Nalan family is pretending to be poor? You can't get those goods without a few thousand taels of silver. And where did his buddy come from? Why are they shrewd and strong, like practicing martial arts, and they seem to be children of a family? Those daily necessities used to live are not only small objects such as needles and threads, but also materials called plastic that are absolutely not available in the Qing Dynasty, such as plastic boxes, plastic buckets, brushes, water scoops, dry food baskets, soap boxes, water cups, rice bowls, chopstick cages, etc. What is plastic?

There are also silk flowers, velvet flowers, pile yarn palace flowers, resin flowers, various hairpins, earrings, and necklaces worn by women. The rings, bracelets, bracelets, etc. worn on the hands are not the style of the Qing Dynasty, and the materials used to create these hairpin earrings are not from the Qing Dynasty, and the fungus-shaped garlands worn on the Han women's hair buns are actually tight and loose on the other side, and they are layered on the bun, which looks better than real flowers. There are also flowers made of yarn sewn on the elastic band, which is novel and generous. The hairpins here are not made of gold, silver, jade, or jade, but are made of plastic, alloy, and resin materials. However, the degree of beauty is not at all under the formal jewelry, and the styles are varied, noble and elegant. Some of them have flowers at one end, peonies, magnolias, narcissus, begonias, etc., and there are also walking hairpins with peacocks, pearls, and colored diamonds. The tassels on the top are all crystal glass beads, and the bottom is a little more drop-shaped agate beads. There are also exotic alloy jewelry, which is even more beautiful and varied. The hair flowers and hairpins prepared for girls are even more dazzling and attractive.

In fact, this Fuchaju person is not unable to pass the Jinshi exam, nor is it that he cannot be an official, but he is well versed in the darkness of officialdom and does not want to be an official. His family is very strong, his family has thousands of acres of fertile land, hundreds of long-term workers, and a few shops. But the old man doesn't manage the store, it's all the subordinates who run it for him, but he is also doing business, but he doesn't buy or sell, but matches people and earns an intermediary fee. Of course, there is no objection to making a handful of money when you can definitely make it.

Among the guests, Nalan Donggui didn't notice that the old man came to the scene to investigate. I didn't know that my father-in-law was actually a trader. Fucha's business is carried out in secret, and his public identity is that he is a man who is idle at home, and he may be an official at any time, or he may rely on his land for a lifetime. Because his three sons are all working in the yamen, they can also support their father. There are many men like Fuchaju. I have money in my hands, I don't have any dedication and self-motivation, and I drink tea and play chess with a cage bird, how to live freely.

Donggui's counter is on the east side of the store, so Fuchaju faces west when he enters the room, and covers the back of his head with an open fan. In addition, there are many people, and Fuchaju people have been here for a long time, and Donggui doesn't know that the old man "came here".

"Little second brother, what is this thing for?"

Fuchaju asked, pointing to a large square covered in blocks on the glass counter.

"This gentleman, this is called the Rubik's Cube, and it is a toy for children to play with

"Can you give a demo? If it's fun, I'll buy one for my kids to play with? This is not a lie, the three sons of the Fuchaju people are all married, and there are four or five grandchildren alone.

"Yes, this guest officer, please see, you will take the trouble to twist it back to its original shape if the color of this square is twisted up. It doesn't matter, it's okay to twist it right and backwards, but don't have too much power. ”

"Hey, isn't this similar to the Nine Rings? Can I try it? ”

"Yes, please."

Fuchaju people began to work hard, and after twisting it for a long time, it did not return to its original appearance, so he had to shake his head and give up. Although he didn't know how to play himself, he bought one for each of his grandchildren.

A loud voice shouted next to him:

"Come and see, the mirror here looks like the real thing."

"Nonsense, don't scare you to death if you shine a color person. Really, how can it be so clear? Much stronger than the bronze mirror at home. That, that guy, big brother, how much does this mirror cost? ”

"The mirror is a hundred wen."

"A hundred wen? It's so cheap that I buy ten noodles. ”

"This guest officer, our host has instructed that each guest officer can only buy one mirror."

"Why? Aren't you in business? The more things you sell, the more money you make. ”

"It's because things are precious, they come from far, far away. Our proprietor is a Buddhist, and doing business is also a small profit but quick turnover. The limited supply is to take care of the goods that the people of the capital can buy from the store. ”

"It's amazing, then I'll buy one and give it to my daughter-in-law."

"Man, what is this? With burrs, pinched and gurgling? ”

"This is for washing dishes, pour a little alkaline water on it, and the dishes are clean."

"Thank you, thank you, how much is a piece?"

"Wuwen."

"Let's have a piece." This one is purely for fun and novelty.

The conversation between the loud voice and the shopkeeper attracted the attention of Fuchaju. The "owner" that the shopkeeper said is not that Nalan Donggui is expensive at all! One is that things come from far, far away, and the other is that the owner is a disciple of Buddhism, and Nalan Donggui did not leave the capital to go out to do goods at all, nor did he believe in Buddhism. So who is his owner?

"Yikes! Second aunt wow, come and see, this hairpin is a pink pearl! Pretty is dead, may I ask the second ...... Ah, man, how much is this? ”

"This is twenty wen. Let me explain, this hairpin is not a pearl, it's called a plastic bead, if the pearl's 20 wen can be sold? You'll find out when you weigh the portions. However, it is also from far away, and it is available in limited quantities, and you can buy two pieces per person. ”

"Well, just two. Can this shiny hairpin be sold to the eldest sister for two? The eldest sister likes it too much, be accommodating? ”

"Okay, I'll sell you two."

"Thank you so much, your goods are really good and cheap."

"Fourth aunt, come on, look at this bag, it's just too much. There's also a dressed kitten on it. You see, this cat is bulging out of cloth, and it looks the same as it is alive from afar, how do people do it? ”

"Shopkeeper Nalan, you can sell a few more sachets like siu mai to the eldest sister."

"Sell an extra pair."

"Thank you, thank you, buy one each for red, pink, green, and gold, can you?"

"It's easy to say, it's a total of eighty texts."

"It's too fragrant, and the two little flowers on the neck are worth thirty yuan, cheap."

"Shopkeeper, is that little transparent cup a tea-drinker? It's a little smaller, right? It's pretty good, how much does it cost? ”

"This guest officer, this is not a tea drinker, but a wine glass, ten cents a piece."

"So transparent, so clean? Let's get four, right? ”

"Okay, four is a set, forty wen."

With a belly full of suspicion, Fuchaju left the shop and went home, and told his wife what he had seen. Then he found his daughter in the room and asked, "Do you know Nalan Donggui very well?" ”

"My daughter only believes in his character."

"Tomorrow, you and Tong'er will take the car from the house to that small shop and have a look."

"How bad is that? I had a private meeting before I got married......"

"Where do you want to go, won't you dress up? You go and see for yourself who your fancy husband is? ”

"What's wrong with him?"

Amma didn't say that he was bad, in short, it wasn't like his mother said, his family was average. Just check it out. Anyway, it's about to be accepted, so what if he recognizes you? It's nothing to say. Go ahead. ”

Haven't been back to the room yet, Fucha? Wen Jing was about to jump for joy. Although Ama has all kinds of speculations about Nalan Donggui's opening of a store, today he made it clear that he would let him meet him.
