Chapter Eighty-Six: The Man in the Rain

"Huguang's cotton?"

The young man was obviously interested, rubbed his palms and said, "How much are you going to sell?" ”

When Ning Xiu chatted with Sun Wenzheng before, he also had a bottom on the price of Huguang cotton cloth in Henan, and he wanted to add a little more, so he said in a deep voice: "A horse of six coins of silver." ”

The young man was shocked and said: "The three shuttle cloth produced in Songjiang is only sold for seven yuan, can your cloth be better than Songjiang cloth no matter how good it is?" ”

Ning Xiu found out the price of Kaifeng's cloth in a word, and it seemed that it was more expensive than a horse in Nanyang.

"And how much do you say?"

"Five coins of silver, I still have to ask the shopkeeper."

The young man said with a stiff neck.

Ning Xiu nodded and said, "Five dollars is five dollars, you go and ask your shopkeeper." ”

The man hurried to the back hall, and he didn't bother to greet the customers in the store.

Hearing that there was a big order, Xiao Chen, the shopkeeper of the shop, hurriedly walked out of the back hall.

"The shopkeeper is the one who wants to sell cloth."

The young man pointed at Ning Xiu from afar.

"This little brother, you want to sell cloth?"

Shopkeeper Xiao is obviously old, his face is full of wrinkles, and his hair is black and white, and he must be at least in his fifties.

Ning Xiu nodded and said, "Yes, I want to sell cloth." ”

"What do you call the little brother?"

"In Xia Chenyi, Huguang people, come to Kaifeng to do business."

Ning Xiu briefly introduced himself, and his face was very calm.

"Oh, contemptible Xiao Zhen, it's the shopkeeper. I don't know how much cloth Brother Chen has? ”

"A cart full of fifty horses."

Shopkeeper Xiao was surprised and said, "Little Brother Chen has so many pieces of cloth, I'm afraid the small shop won't be able to eat it for a while." ”

Ning Xiu frowned secretly. Everyone wants to go big and big, why does this shopkeeper still think of his Buduo?

Besides, fifty pieces of cloth is not too much, can't such a big shop eat fifty pieces of cotton cloth?

Ning Xiu thought about it for a while, and then knew that Shopkeeper Xiao wanted to lower the price.

Ning Xiu's guess was good, the guy in the shop was easily set out by him, and the guy was scolded after reporting to the shopkeeper Xiao.

Shopkeeper Xiao decided to personally come out to negotiate the price with Ning Xiu, hoping to lower the price.

What businessmen care about is still a good word, Xiao shopkeeper has been crisscrossing the mall for many years, so he naturally doesn't want to suffer such a dumb loss.

"Oh, then I'll try something else."

Ning Xiu wanted to turn around, but the shopkeeper Xiao hurriedly said: "Brother Chen, slow down, in fact, it's not that the store can't accept all of Brother Chen's cloth, but in terms of price, Brother Chen needs to let it go again, is it good to have four dollars of silver for a horse?" ”

Damn, this old thing is too dark. Want to cut off a penny of silver in a word?

"Shopkeeper Xiao, this is a bit of a bully, right? I sell it at more than this price in Nanyang Mansion! ”

If you calculate it according to five coins of silver for a piece of cloth, fifty horses is twenty-five taels, which is the profit of Ning Ji Restaurant for half a day.

It stands to reason that Ning Xiu doesn't have to worry about this bit of money. But this shopkeeper Xiao is too bullying, and as soon as he comes up, he will stop and cut his waist, how can he talk about it?

"Little Brother Chen, you must know that there are not many shops in Kaifeng Mansion that can eat your fifty pieces of cloth in one bite."

Threaten me?

Ning Xiu sneered and turned away angrily.

Damn, do you really think Lao Tzu is a fool? It's so rampant to bully people like this.

Is the largest silk cloth shop remarkable? It's a big deal, I'll divide it into several cloth shops to sell.

Ning Xiu ran five cloth shops in a row, and one sold ten pieces of cloth, the price was five dollars a horse, and it took an afternoon to finally sell out a cart of cloth.

Twenty-five taels of silver from selling cloth, plus fifty taels from selling Chu Wanglun to Xianggu Pavilion, Ning Xiu gained a total of seventy-five taels on this trip, and it was not a trip in vain.

It was almost dusk, Ning Xiu's stomach was already hungry, so he casually found a restaurant and asked for a bowl of slurry water, ordered a few side dishes, and warmed a pot of wine and ate a big meal.

After eating, Ning Xiu drove back to the inn in the carriage, and Sun Wenzheng saw Ning Xiu coming back and said happily: "How is it, Brother Chen has sold all the cloth?" ”

"Well, it's all sold, a five-penny silver!"

Ning Xiu clenched his fists and made an excited look.

"That's a good price."

Sun Wenzheng nodded.

"Team Leader Sun, tomorrow the boy will leave for Huguang, thank you Team Leader Sun for taking care of me all the way."

Ning Xiu was not polite, but really wanted to express his gratitude to Sun Wenzheng.

"Haha, they all said that they help each other when they go out, Little Brother Chen is too polite."

Sun Wenzheng and Ning Xiu chatted a few more words, and then went back to the house.

As soon as Ning Xiu was lying on the bed and wanted to take a nap, lightning and thunder thundered outside the house.

Ning Xiu simply turned over and walked to the window to listen to the rain.

Listening to the rain crackling on the window lattice, Ning Xiu only felt very enjoyable.

He hurried across the street through the window, and saw that there seemed to be an extra carriage with a black roof in front of the inn.

There are still people coming to stay at such a late hour, so they must be rushing to the city before the city gate is closed, right?

Ning Xiu was a little curious, so he went downstairs to take a look. I saw that in the lobby on the first floor of the inn, a young man stopped at the gate of the inn with his arms outstretched and shook his head again and again: "No, the shop is really full." Childe should go to another house. ”

"This little brother, it's pouring rain outside the house, you told us to find another house to stay?"

"Alas, it's really a full house, if there is still a vacant room, how can the small one push the son out."

"Young master, don't talk nonsense with him, I think he is bullying us because outsiders are deliberately making things difficult. Dodge, dodge! ”

A little scholar grabbed the body and began to push the young man at the inn.

But the little man didn't move, and the little scholar was so anxious that he shouted: "Ah, do you have any sympathy, the rain outside is so heavy, you are going to be drenched to death!" ”

Ning Xiu coughed, walked towards the young man and said, "It's raining so heavily outside, why don't you let them in to take shelter from the rain first?" ”

"Hey, officer, you said it's easy to let them in, but you can't keep watching? If something happens, the unlucky ones are still small. ”

Ning Xiu frowned, didn't this young guy treat the two of them as thieves.

"My house is still quite big, why don't you let the two of them and me and the general squeeze together for one night."

"This ......"

The guy was visibly hesitant. But Ning Xiu said so, wouldn't he be a slap in the face if he refused?

Gritting his teeth, he nodded and said, "Okay, since you are willing to let them live together, the small ones will not be stopped." But they'll have to leave after you check out tomorrow! ”

"You!" The little scholar saw that the innkeepers looked down on people, and thought that they couldn't afford to live in the store, so he glared angrily.

The young man snorted, dodged away and let the two in.

When the master and the servant entered the room, Ning Xiu noticed that the two of them were not wearing their clothes, and their clothes were all soaked, so they were so close to their bodies, which must have been very uncomfortable.

"Come into the house with Chen, the roasting fire can be warmer."

Ning Xiuguan asked for a charcoal basin, and led the two upstairs.
