When I first came to Tianxianglou to ask the price, the price of Xiao Er was quite fine, and the four of them ate a lot of money for one or two silver, a bun cost eight yuan, and a pot of barley tea cost three yuan.

It's just that at this time, Zhang Zhiji was beaten by Zhu Youzhen, and his mood was not very good, and then looking at the little er's sloppy appearance, he took out a silver ingot of five taels from his arms and slapped it on the table, saying, "Who do you look down on?" Do you need a treat from your shopkeeper for such a little money? Today's meal Ben Gongzi invited, and some people in the province will say that Ben Gongzi is stingy in the future. ”

The meal was also ordered, the silver was also paid, and the little two still stood and didn't leave, Zhang Zhiji was a little annoyed, he slapped the table and said, "Don't you go to prepare?" Is it ready to make us wait to eat with lunch? ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhang Zhiji and said, "It's just a loss of more than a hundred taels of silver, what kind of evil fire do you have with irrelevant people?" You will see after a while, I am making or losing these things today, don't let this little thing spoil the mood of the whole day. ”

After speaking, Zhu Youzhen turned his head to look at the little two again, and asked with a smile: "We don't know your shopkeeper, why do you invite us to dinner?" Could it be that we are celebrating your store today? Or does it happen to be your eighty-eighth lucky guest today? ”

Xiao Er waved his hand again and again, "No, no, there is no activity in the shop today." ”

"What's the matter with your shopkeeper?"

Xiao Er approached Zhu Youzhen a little, lowered his body and pinched his fingers, some of them were flattering and embarrassed: "The guest officer is wise, don't hide from the guest officer, our shopkeeper does have a little little thing." ”

Zhang Zhiji interrupted Xiao Er's words on the side, "Ye is still hungry, go and let people prepare food first, and then talk about your affairs when you are full." ”

It depends on the situation that this son has been stimulated by something, if it is delayed, I am afraid that the things ordered by the shopkeeper will really be yellow, so Xiao Er has to leave first to arrange.

After a while, the food was served, Xiao Er was all prepared according to the best things in the store, although the amount of each was not much, but it was exquisite, and a variety of meals were placed on a full table.

After walking a lot early in the morning, and tossing outside the noodle restaurant for a long time, several people were already hungry at this time, even the shopkeeper Xu who had eaten was also a little hungry at this time, and a few people ate without waiting for things to be served.

While eating, the shopkeeper of Tianxianglou and Xiao Er came over again, this time Xiao Er just stood aside, and the shopkeeper's somewhat nervous hands were constantly rubbing on his chest, and after a while, he asked cautiously: "How many guest officers are still satisfied with the things in the shop?" ”

Zhang Zhiji had something to eat, and his mood was much better, and he shouted something in his mouth and said vaguely: "It tastes good, there is still room for improvement, continue to work hard." ”

Tianxianglou's early is also the top level in Suzhou, Zhang Zhiji said reluctantly, but the body is very honest, the movements in his hands have not been heard, the shopkeeper is still a little confident in his own things, he just smiled when he heard Zhang Zhiji's words, because he asked for help, he did not refute.

Zhu Youzhen said: "If there is anything in charge, please tell me directly." ”

The shopkeeper of Tianxianglou said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, I saw Gongzi collect coupons at the noodle restaurant in front of me before, and it just so happened that I still have a lot in my hand, I don't know if Gongzi still wants it?" ”

"Yes, of course, why not?"

"Then the price ......"

Zhu Youzhen had almost eaten at this time, he put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, and then said: "Since the shopkeeper knows that I collect coupons at the front noodle restaurant, and is willing to sell them to me at this time, I think the price is naturally inquired clearly. ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he said, "Thank you, thank you, son......"

After speaking, the shopkeeper of Tianxianglou turned around and left, this is to go back to get the coupon.

The shopkeeper left, and the little two were still standing there, Zhu Youzhen said: "If you want to sell as much as you want, take it out together."

”

After listening to Zhu Youzhen, he hurriedly took out the few coupons he was carrying, the price of rice coupons and wheat coupons was too high, and this little two only saved two each, and the rest were mostly cloth coupons, meat coupons, cake coupons, and tea coupons.

After a while, the shopkeeper of Tianxianglou trotted all the way over with a locked agarwood box, he put the wooden box on the table, took out a key from the robe to open the wooden box, and there was a full box of tickets inside, and all of them were rice coupons, this box is not to say that there are thousands of them, that is, according to the current rice price in Suzhou Mansion, this box of tickets is worth at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, no wonder it is so carefully hidden.

The shopkeeper of Tianxianglou said: "There are a total of 4,000 coupons in this box of one stone and rice coupons, and according to the previous price of six taels per piece, a total of 24,000 taels." ”

The tickets bought in front of the noodle shop before had lost a total of more than 100 taels of silver, Zhang Zhiji was already distressed, and at this time, so many rice coupons, according to the current market price, would be a loss of 4,000 taels of silver, Zhang Zhiji hurriedly winked at Zhu Youzhen frequently, and said: "Fifth brother, you didn't bring so many taels of silver when you went out in a hurry today, right?" ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said, "Ziyu is right, I really didn't bring so much silver when I went out today." ”

As soon as Zhang Zhiji heard Zhu Youzhen's words, he let go of the worry in his heart and said: "Shopkeeper, you also heard it, if it is less, we will accept it, but you take out so much at once, how can anyone go out now with so many silver tickets." ”

When the shopkeeper heard that the other party didn't bring any silver, he thought that the other party might think that the price was too high, so he hurriedly said: "If the son thinks the price is too high, it is okay to press five taels of silver per piece." ”

The shopkeeper Xu said on the side: "The shopkeeper is also very good at doing business, sell these rice coupons to us today, and you can go to the money village to spend five taels of silver to make up for it, maybe you can buy more and be cheaper, that is, five taels and five dollars a piece, and you can earn two thousand taels of silver in the blink of an eye. ”

The shopkeeper of Tianxianglou was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "Didn't I take these out when I heard that the son was collecting coupons, if the son is not satisfied with the price, even five taels and one dollars of silver are okay, and a few people always want me to earn some hard-earned money, right?" ”

Shopkeeper Xu picked up a rice coupon from the box, then flipped to the back and looked at the number, then put it back in the box and drew a few more from the bottom to look at it, these numbers are almost the same, basically connected, he put a few coupons in his hand back into the box, "These coupons of the shopkeeper from the number, it should be half a year to start, right?" At that time, the price of rice was only less than two taels of silver, and if it was just to make hard money, then the shopkeeper was too hard. ”

The shopkeeper of Tianxianglou closed the box when he heard this, and said: "This guest officer is a little unfair when he speaks, my rice coupons can be sold for five taels of silver even if they are sold to the bank, if the son doesn't want it, he won't let me sell two taels of silver, right?" ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "The shopkeeper misunderstood, I really didn't bring so many silver tickets today." As he spoke, Zhu Youzhen took out a silver ticket of 10,000 taels from his sleeve and said: "We still calculate it according to six taels of silver, and if the shopkeeper still wants to sell it, he will send it to the Fengxing Courtyard in Dushu Lake later." ”

This time, he couldn't even accept Jinxiu, and hurriedly said: "I'm afraid that the son heard it wrong, didn't the shopkeeper say five taels and one piece of silver?" ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled at Jinxiu and said, "Xiu'er, what is the most important thing in doing business?" It's integrity, since you promised people to collect it at the previous price, then you naturally can't go back, otherwise this son won't become a villain who doesn't believe in his words? Who will still do business with Childe in the future? ”

"But ......"

"It's nothing, do you say that the reputation of the son is important, or is it important to have a few thousand taels of silver?"

Jinxiu didn't even think about it and said: "Naturally, the son is important." ”

"That's right."

The shopkeeper of Tianxianglou listened to the conversation between the two, although he made a lot of money

cheap, I can't help but scold in my heart, "I'm afraid this person is not a fool, right?" ”

Zhang Zhiji's previous words were just a pretext, I thought that Zhu Youzhen understood it, but he didn't expect to take out 10,000 taels of silver tickets, and let people send the rest to the Fengxing Courtyard, which was in vain. He sighed and said: "Dou Xiao's hard-earned silver was given to the fifth brother to play in the water, and people can still watch a splash when they play in the water, and the fifth brother's water drift is directly sinking to the bottom." ”

After speaking, Zhang Zhi stood up angrily and said, "Don't eat, I'm full." ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "The shopkeeper is tired of counting the tickets according to 10,000 taels of silver." ”

When Zhang Zhiji heard this, he stopped the pace he was about to leave, and hurriedly pulled the wooden box to his side, and said: "I'll count, who knows that this traitor will not be short of catties and two, and give a few more sheets." ”

The shopkeeper of Tianxianglou made money, so naturally he didn't bother with Zhang Zhiji, so he let Zhang Zhiji count it by himself and watched by himself.

Zhang Zhiji counted them one by one, and each hundred sheets were piled up into a yard and put on the table, and the shopkeeper Xu saw that Zhang Zhiji and his party were too slow, so he also helped them count together.

Sixteen yards had been placed on the table, and Zhang Zhiji counted more than sixty and continued until he counted 1,700, and then threw the rice coupons on the table, saying: "That's all, 1,700 sheets, the shopkeeper will look at it, and if the shopkeeper wants to take it back, take these back to the box." ”

Zhu Youzhen let Zhang Zhiji bargain with the shopkeeper there, and didn't care about him, the shopkeeper of Tianxianglou calculated, there were less than thirty-four more, and it was only two hundred taels of silver, even so, he still earned more than a thousand taels, according to the words of the son, and if he sent them over later, at least he could earn a few thousand taels of silver, how could he still account for these two hundred taels.

Tianxianglou said with a smile on his face: "What is the guest officer talking about, am I the kind of person who doesn't know what to do?" Since Childe likes this ticket, a few more tickets should be kept for Childe to play with. After speaking, he hurriedly collected the silver ticket, then relocked the lid of the wooden box, and said to Xiao Er: "Go find a bag for a few guest officers to pack things up." ”

The little second listened to the shopkeeper's words, and said to Zhu Youzhen a few people anxiously: "Then ...... those coupons of mine?"

Zhang Zhiji said to the shopkeeper of Tianxianglou: "The fifth brother's silver is in your arms, and you still owe this guy twenty-six taels of silver, so you can settle it together." ”

The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face: "It should be, it should be." ”

When the little second heard that his ticket had been found, he happily went to find the paper bag.

After finishing the transaction, the shopkeeper picked up the agarwood box and said, "A few sons use it slowly, and I will send the remaining coupons to the house later." With that, he turned around and went back to the counter with the wooden box.

After a while, Gongfu Xiao Er came over with a few kraft paper bags, which were used by guests to fill some meals on weekdays, and they were very sturdy, with 1,700 coupons, which were enough to fill two kraft paper bags.

After doing this, Zhu Youzhen said: "When you are full of food and drink, let's go." ”

A few people got up and wanted to leave, but Xiao Er said to Zhang Zhiji: "Childe, you said that the money for this meal ......"

Zhang Zhi said angrily: "Didn't your shopkeeper tell you that it was counted on him? Isn't it enough to earn more than a thousand taels? ”

Xiao Er defended with some lack of confidence: "Childe said that you please, but the little one is also afraid of upsetting Childe, so he asked this question." ”

The shopkeeper heard the movement here, hurriedly walked out of the counter and ran towards this side, and then grabbed Xiao Er and asked him not to continue.

"A few sons go slowly, and come back next time when you are free."

"Hmph......", Zhang Zhiji didn't speak anymore, and walked straight towards the outside of Tianxiang Building.

After a few people left, the shopkeeper of Tianxianglou looked at the figure of a few people walking away outside the door, and muttered to himself: "I don't know which big family's stupid son, if he loses like this, even if there are tens of millions of family properties, he will be lost sooner or later." ”
