Chapter 568: Doing Business
Su was afraid that Ai Lian would have bad intentions, so she didn't think it was enough to stuff a Xiuying for Qin Ziying, and under Qin Dai's "unintentional" reminder, she thought about buying two more people to send in, first, these people were her own people, so as to spy on Ailian, and secondly, she really wanted Qin Ziying to have a few more capable waiters around her.
It's just that this time you have to be particular about buying people.
First of all, the girl who bought it back is particular about her age, she can't be older, and she can't be small. The older girl also has a big mind, and she can't do work when she is young, and it is not cost-effective to raise it for a few years, so Su directly told the third child of the Liu family that she should be ten years old, and a girl about eleven years old should have a good body and bones, and her background should be innocent.
Secondly, the appearance is exquisite, not too outstanding, not too bad. The girl looks too good, and it is always a disaster, even if the master will not have any thoughts about them, but the beautiful girl is high-spirited, and always wants to seduce the master with her own appearance, if you really buy this back, I am afraid that I can't prevent it, so I can't ask for this. Not to mention the ugly one, waiting in the house closely, even if it is not good-looking, but it can't be ugly, think about it, if she looks so ugly that she can't even look at it, how can she wait!
Therefore, Su Shi wants to personally inquire about this matter, and others will do it, and she is not at ease. After thinking about it, she picked Liu Ji Yaxing, and asked the third child of the Liu family to send the qualified girl over and choose it herself.
Generally speaking, the value of the little girl is the lowest, as long as five or six taels of silver, the big girl who grows up, has good looks, is literate and has craftsmanship, no matter what kind of money it occupies, it will be more expensive, ranging from fifteen taels to twenty taels, and the average big girl is only about ten taels.
In order to find a suitable girl, the Su family set a sky-high price for Liu San, fifty taels for a girl!
Obediently, this cheap seems to have fallen from the sky! looks good and doesn't have to be a girl who knows everything. It's only worth ten taels of silver, and this Su clan actually gave fifty taels! It's a pity that there are not many people who want it, as long as two, if she buys a few more, she can earn a lot of money in this business alone.
Liu Laosan's heart was full of joy, and he naturally promised to do a good job, and said that he would bring a suitable girl to the door tomorrow.
When I didn't want him to leave, I was looked at by Ruyi.
Qin Dai had an idea in her heart, so she called Lingzi and secretly instructed her.
Reiko doesn't care about Su. She was sent by Prince Rui to serve Qin Daixin. Only Qin Daixin's words did she listen. So when Qin Daixin asked her to do this errand. The little girl was not only not afraid, but excited.
Reiko is also looking for Liu Laosan.
The little girl went out of Changxiao Garden and out of Qin Mansion. Reiko is a foreigner and has not been in Taizhou for long. Naturally, I don't know the location of Liu Ji, but fortunately, Liu Ji is famous, as if no one doesn't know it, Lingzi followed the Three Cross Street, inquired while walking, and soon came to Liu Ji Yaxing.
In a prominent position on the main street, there is a small two-story building with six large shops and four carved doors. There is a large plaque hanging on it, and there are four big characters on it - Liu Ji Yaxing.
Reiko glanced up at the signboard, and then she stepped up the stone steps and entered the house.
The business of the dental shop is different from other shops, and the furnishings in the natural house are also different. There are no counters, shelves or anything like that, but there are two huge bookcases-like cabinets on one side, which seem to be made of sour wood, and are divided into several small drawers, and I don't know what they are used for. There is a big place in the shop, and a few chairs are placed in a spacious place, a few small ones, and there are three or five people sitting on the chairs, drinking tea in their hands, looking very leisurely.
Is this a dental line?
Reiko frowned.
The sharp-eyed young man found Reiko, and saw that she was dressed well, like a maid at the door of the mansion, so he hurriedly greeted her.
"This girl, our Liu Ji Ya shop has a fair price and a good reputation, I don't know if you want to buy people, buy land or buy and sell houses?" The guy had a faint smile on his face, which seemed just right, neither flattering nor silly, and the smile seemed very comfortable.
Reiko looked him up and down a few times, and saw that he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a short strip of colored coarse cloth, and at a glance he knew that he was an apprentice in the store.
"Is the third master of your family here?"
When the young man heard this, he immediately said, "Are you going to buy someone?" "Those who come to Liu San are all rushing to buy people, but the general list will not come to Liu San at all, and only if it is sure that it is a big deal, Liu Sanye will come forward in person.
Reiko nodded, "Sort of." She withdrew a few coins from her sleeve, patted it in the hands of the apprentice, and said, "My master wants to buy someone, and specially instructed me to talk to Master Liu San." ”
The young man quietly accepted the money, and then said: "The third master has a guest, if the girl doesn't mind, just sit on the side, and when the third master finishes entertaining the guests, I will personally go to him to come over?" ”
Reiko nodded, and then picked a seat to the side and sat down. She waited for about half an hour, and some more guests came to the house, either buying people or buying fields, and they all sat in their chairs for a while, and some of the young apprentices in charge went to the cabinet and took the booklets, and checked them one by one according to the guests' requests, until they found satisfactory records.
Reiko also opened her eyes, but she didn't expect that the cabinet was used for keeping records.
At this moment, the young man who had accosted her before came over and said straightly, "Girl, our third master invites you over." ”
Reiko hurriedly got up and followed the guy to the second floor.
The first floor is a loose seat, and the second floor is a private room.
Lingzi guessed that only people with noble status were qualified to come to the second floor to find the four shopkeepers of the Liu family to do business, and he had not yet reported his home, so he could come to the second floor to see Liu San.
It really made Reiko guess.
The Liu family is an intermediary business, not only to deal with the rich, but also to deal with the poor, and even to the poor is more polite than the rich, the rich buy people, buy land, as long as you have good goods in your hands, you don't have to worry about no business to come to the door; The poor are selling people and land, and if you are the middleman, you can only put your attitude right. If you do that unconscionable thing, I am afraid that your reputation will stink, and everyone will pass on ten, ten and hundred, who is willing to push their children into the fire pit?
Among the Liu family's family rules is not to snub the poor.
The young men are busy working on the first floor all the year round, and the people they see are all poor, and there is nothing to be fished out. There are even fewer people like Reiko who come up and stuff money.
The guy was kind. He got Reiko's money. He felt that he should say a few kind words for her, so when Liu San asked him who he was, although he didn't lie, he still favored a few words. only said: "It's a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, looking well-dressed, with a momentum on her body, and the little one thinks that it should be a girl from a big family." ”
When Liu San heard this, he nodded, anyway, he was done, why don't you see it, maybe it's a big deal? So he asked the guy to take Reiko to the second floor.
The young man took Reiko to the second floor. Pointing to an open door, he said, "Girl, this is where the third master usually meets guests, you can go in." Also, our Liu family has a positive family style and is a serious businessman. Several old men are all of good character, and there are still waiting girls and servants in the house, don't be afraid. ”
Reiko didn't expect this young guy to tell her this, so she smiled at the moment, "Thank you, little brother." She put her hand in the sleeve, grabbed another handful of money, stuffed it into his hand and said, "Please have tea." ”
The young man blushed, took the money, and hurried downstairs.
Reiko lifted her leg and entered the house.
At the entrance stood a girl dressed in a tender blue armor, sixteen or seventeen years old, combed with a big braid, and only a silk flower on her head, she looked very ordinary, but the faint smile on her face, the kind eyes will make people feel comfortable.
"This girl wants to see the third shopkeeper?" The girl's voice was crisp and pleasant, like a yellow bird coming out of the valley, and it added a little color to her.
Reiko nodded, "The tired girl will introduce it on your behalf." ”
This Liu Ji is really thoughtful, presumably there are single female guests like himself on weekdays, so they arranged for a maid to receive female guests on the second floor.
The woman nodded, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Girl, please come with me." ”
Reiko followed her into the main house.
Liu San laughed and mocked Lingzi and arched his hand, "In Xia Liu Chaohe, I heard the guy downstairs say that the girl is coming to buy someone?" He greeted Reiko while looking at Reiko quietly, and his originally frowning brows opened.
In the end, he is a businessman, and he is naturally mercenary.
Lingzi was slightly blessed, and only said: "It's my young lady who wants to pick two powerful ones, so she came to find the shopkeeper Liu." ”
Liu San smiled, as if he was very proud.
"I don't know which one is in the house."
Lingzi said: "The third shopkeeper also went to the Qin family yesterday. ”
Among the famous people in Taizhou, there are not many people with the surname Qin, and there are only Qin Daixin's family, and when it comes to the Qin family in Taizhou, they are generally talking about their family.
"Uh-oh." Liu San reacted and only said: "Yesterday, Mrs. Qin wanted to buy someone, and today, I don't know which lady wants to buy someone?" ”
Reiko said: "My young lady is the third. ”
Liu San had also heard a little about the Qin family, and knew that this third lady was now a concubine, and the whole house could not afford to slack off.
"I don't know what kind of people Miss Qin San wants to buy?"
Reiko didn't speak, and lowered her eyelids.
Liu San is a person in the business field, and when he saw her like this, he knew that things were not simple, so he hurriedly said to the maid who led the way for Lingzi: "Dark incense, go make a cup of tea for the guests." ”
The woman named Dark Fragrance retreated as she was told.
"Can you say that this time?"
Reiko nodded, and said unhurriedly: "My young lady has a big business to do with Liu San's shopkeeper, I don't know, do you have the guts?" ”
ps:
The double watch has begun! Are you ready?
