Chapter 277: Put the price up
At the entrance of the Qinghe store, there were more onlookers at this time.
Hundreds of people blocked the streets, which were no more than two feet wide.
Although the price of the Qinghe store is ridiculously expensive, but under the temptation of Qinghe wine, there are still some people who think that their wealth can go in and consume a little bit into the foot house, and under the guidance of Hu Kuan and others, they cover their hearts and carefully begin to appreciate these unique goods.
But just like Chen Xu said at the beginning, these things have never been seen elsewhere, whether it is wine, vinegar, sugar oil, biscuits, sugar cakes, or porcelain sweaters, the furniture is extremely rare, and the most outrageous is the price, the cheapest is the size of a finch egg, and the lollipop inserted in a corn stick costs twenty yuan a piece.
These lollipops were suddenly remembered by Chen Xu a few days ago, because Xing'er and Yu Ji, two little girls, love candy, it is inconvenient to hold a bamboo tube every day, and it is easy to fall to the ground when you take it out, sometimes you accidentally half a tube of candy is rolling everywhere, so Chen Xu boiled the sugar syrup and stirred it on the small bamboo stick, and after cooling and solidifying, it became almost the same lollipop as the later generations, because it was delicious and convenient, so it was loved by the whole family, and now Yu Wuya doesn't like to eat soybeans very much, Every day, I have a lollipop in my mouth.
In order to show their sincerity in shopping, the customers who entered the store invariably bought the cheapest lollipop first.
And after eating, they are full of praise, saying that the taste is superb, and twenty dollars is definitely worth having.
And then the situation in the store is very weird.
A group of middle-aged people in exquisite leather coats, each with a lollipop in their mouth, are constantly communicating with a few leather clerks.
"This sweater is woven with a special method from the hair of a rare fine wool sheep fed by the Hu people in the north, it is light and warm, you see the ...... I am wearing"
Chen Xu lifted his thin coat, revealing a sweater inside, and was gushing about introducing a sweater to a middle-aged uncle wearing a thick leather jacket.
"On such a cold day, I only need to wear an undershirt and a sweater to keep out the cold, extremely warm and light, whether it is working or walking, there is no hindrance, and then look at the leather clothes on your body, although it is guaranteed to be warm, but it is heavy and thick, not only is it inconvenient to put on and take off, but it may be uncomfortable to sit up......"
The middle-aged man touched the sweater worn by Chen Xu with his hand, nodded and said: "Xiao Langjun is right, it is indeed light and warm, but this sweater is too expensive, three thousand yuan a piece, even if it is mink, I can sell several pieces!" ”
"How can this be compared, although the mink is warm, but not durable, when working I am afraid of being damaged, but this sweater is different, washed and dried, worn and covered, pulled and pulled, a sweater you wear for seven or eight years or even more than ten years is no problem, after the cold weather is out of the road or to visit friends, others are wearing thick leather clothes, but you are like me wearing a thin spring and autumn coat, both warm and decent......"
Chen Xu said this, hehe smiled and whispered: "And the most convenient thing is to go to the garden to play with the little lady, this dress is also easy and quick to take off, I see that uncle, you are sturdy, you can be happy several times a night, thick leather clothes can not be taken off and put on and off, and it is obstructive and delays interest, uncle, do you say?" ”
The middle-aged uncle immediately nodded with his eyes shining: "Yes, yes, the clothes are too thick and heavy, and it does delay the interest, several times...... Xiao Langjun understands, or don't say it, I want this sweater! ”
"Haha, okay, this sweater is difficult to weave, we only made a total of more than ten pieces, maybe it will be sold out soon, so it is definitely worth having, I will take you to the back of the warm room to try on clothes!"
Chen Xu took the middle-aged man to a room with a warm kang in the back, and instructed him how to put on and take off this sweater, and soon when the two came out, the middle-aged man lost a lot of weight, and the thick leather jacket was directly lifted in his hand, so Chen Xu beckoned a gangster to quickly bring over a burlap handbag with the words Qinghe Store written on it, and helped the middle-aged man fold the leather jacket and put it in his pocket.
"I didn't bring much money today, so help me get two bottles of Qinghe American vinegar!" The middle-aged man seemed to feel that it was a little unsightly to buy only one sweater, so he took out his money bag and counted twenty small gold cakes and handed them to Chen Xu.
Holding a large handful of heavy gold, Chen Xu's roaring molars were about to be exposed.
"A sweater, two bottles of Qinghe vinegar, a gold one, bookkeeping!" In Chen Xu's shouting, Zhang Quandan, who was sitting at the counter, quickly picked up a brush, wrote down the content in the account book, and wrote down the amount with Arabic numerals.
A gangster clerk put two bottles of Qinghe American vinegar in a small cloth bag and handed them to the middle-aged man, Chen Xu gave five more lollipops, and the middle-aged man walked out of the store with his chest up and his head up with two cloth pockets written on Qinghe Store, which provoked countless people outside the door to admire.
"It's really worth the money, and I give such a beautiful cloth bag!"
"Yes, it's a pity it's too expensive, I guess we can afford a lollipop!"
"Xiao Langjun, help me keep a bottle of Qinghe wine, and come back tomorrow!" The middle-aged man stood at the door and turned back proudly to speak loudly, provoking the crowd to exclaim again.
"Hehe, okay, sir, wait a minute, you spend four thousand yuan in my store today, I will give you a voucher ......" Chen Xu took out a piece of hemp pulp paper five inches long and two inches wide from the counter, with the words "three hundred yuan of vouchers" written on it, and a bright red Qinghe store seal underneath, and the consumption deadline was written on the back.
"This voucher can only be used in our store, it is valid for three months, and it can be used as a coin when the purchase amount reaches more than 1,000 yuan!" Chen Xu explained.
"Really?" The middle-aged man was a little excited after being shocked.
"Naturally, it's true, if you use it now, you only need to add seven hundred dollars to exchange for a bottle of Qinghe American vinegar!"
"Xiao Langjun is benevolent and righteous, he will definitely come back tomorrow!" The middle-aged man happily put the voucher away closely.
"Okay, if you spend 10,000 gold tomorrow, I will give you a VIP card, and you can get a 10% discount on shopping in my store at any time in the future."
"What is a VIP card? What is 10% off? The middle-aged man asked suspiciously.
"The VIP card is an identity card, which means that you are a distinguished guest of our store, and 10% off is only 90% of the full amount we need to pay......"
Chen Xu's words were so loud that almost everyone inside and outside the store heard them, and suddenly many people began to exclaim, and many of them who were originally businessmen lit up their eyes, and then showed surprise and excitement.
Whether it is a voucher or a VIP card, it is a new way of marketing, although this era of material is scarce, business is underdeveloped, but it does not mean that businessmen are stupid, in fact, in any era, businessmen are the most sensitive and smartest group, they are chasing money and interests all the time, Chen Xu took out these two things, are the biggest motivation for customers to turn back to consume.
The first business was completed, which was considered a good opening, and Chen Xu was very happy.
In the store, there are still more than a dozen people hesitating and watching, and some of them have begun to pay money, some buy one or two bottles of vinegar, some buy a few catties of rice candy cake, and some also choose to buy a sweater or scarf.
"Wow, three catties of rice candy, five hundred dollars, bookkeeping!"
"Whoa, two bottles of Qinghe beautiful vinegar, two taels of gold plus two hundred coins!"
"Whoa, a wool scarf, five hundred dollars!"
……
With the shouts of several gangsters one after another, a large number of copper coins and gold cakes were counted and thrown into a cash box, causing the crowd of onlookers outside to become more and more restless.
Most of these people who entered the store to buy things, most of them were passers-by or merchants who originally lived in the nearby foot house, and they didn't bring much money when they went out, and they all left one after another after buying, and at the same time quickly publicized the Qinghe store, but in just half an hour, almost all the wealthy and business officials in the city knew that a place specializing in selling luxury items suddenly opened in the city, and it also sold a bottle of Qinghe wine that may be difficult to find in Xianyang. Merchants and wealthy families came from far and wide with their slaves.
There are more and more people inside and outside the store, and the doors of the store are about to collapse, and there are some people who seem to be rich and powerful, all of whom are guarded with swords, and they are not easy to mess with.
"My lord, shouldn't we send some money to the county governor's mansion, let them arrange for the city guards and soldiers to come and maintain order, and continue to gather, if there are unscrupulous people in it who deliberately cause trouble, it is very likely to cause trouble!" Hu Kuan said with a pale face.
"It's okay, they should be coming soon!" Chen Xu said with a calm face.
Sure enough, it didn't take long to hear a sound of neat footsteps and bamboo whistles outside, and a team of halberd guards rushed in under the leadership of two county captains wearing leather armor and riding horses, and began to drive away the crowd of onlookers, and soon the crowded and noisy crowd began to retreat and evacuate, and these soldiers did not enter the store to find trouble, and after driving the crowd away, they stood on the street outside the store and began to maintain order.
Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Gao Yao is not a complete gentleman, his thoughts and methods are not bad, at least in this matter, Chen Xu is a little more high.
The arrival of the guards did not cause much surprise to the people who were going to buy things in the store, but many of them began to wonder about the identity of the owner of the store, and some of the people who wanted to threaten and blackmail them also put away this thought for the time being.
Most of the people who entered the store in the back were gathered in front of the two shelves where Qinghe wine and porcelain were placed, some were watching carefully, and some were still whispering to each other, their faces were very serious and solemn.
These people may not just be rich.
"How is this Qinghe wine sold, and why is there no price marked?" An old man with a majestic demeanor, wearing a delicate fur coat and a white mink hat, asked coldly.
"How much money do you think is appropriate?" Chen Xu asked lightly.
"According to the Great Qin Law, all goods sold must be marked with a price!" The old man said majestically.
"Hehe, since you want to see the price, come on, put the price on the table!" Chen Xu smiled and waved his hand, and Hu Kuan took a wooden plaque and put it on the shelf, which said 20,000 yuan.
"Hiss~" The onlookers gasped.
