Chapter 678: Clever and Clever
Shopkeeper Li smiled knowingly, and immediately said: "Every month, the ten jars of ginseng wine sold by Miss Gu are purchased by Baijulou, Mrs. Gu, do you think of this?"
After all, ginseng wine sells very well in Baijulou, and there are many rich sons and brothers who go to Baijulou for ginseng wine, such a good deal, Shopkeeper Li doesn't want to miss it easily.
At this time, Gu Mingzhu's eyes flashed with a gleam, and his red lips hooked up and said: "Since the General's Mansion sells ten jars of ginseng wine every month, then Shopkeeper Li has to give a full deposit." ”
"How much is the deposit?" Li Zhan's eyes lit up when he heard the silver.
"A hundred taels of silver." Gu Mingzhu said this calmly.
Immediately, Shopkeeper Li's face changed, his eyes widened and he said, "You are a robbery for one hundred taels of silver." ”
"Shopkeeper Li, don't worry, you listen to me tell you."
Gu Mingzhu's expression was pale, and a light smile appeared on her delicate cheeks, "This one hundred taels of silver is your deposit, if you don't want to buy this ginseng wine, how about I refund it to you?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Shopkeeper Li pondered in his heart, his eyes sparkled, but he showed a hesitant look on his face, "How about lowering this deposit to fifty taels?" ”
"Not a penny is missing." Gu Mingzhu said without changing his face, his vigorous and resolute momentum was not at all like what a fourteen-year-old girl should look like.
Now Shopkeeper Li saw that he couldn't say that Gu Mingzhu's articulate little mouth had been running the restaurant for 20 years, but it was planted on the body of a little girl.
Shopkeeper Li's face sank, clapped his hands and said, "That's it, one hundred taels is one hundred taels." ”
Then he shrewdly said, "Then Mrs. Gu wants to sell me all the ginseng wine." ”
Gu Mingzhu bowed slightly: "Of course, the ginseng wine on the General's Mansion is only sold to Baijulou." ”
The two of them had their own calculations in their hearts, Gu Mingzhu's eyes were shining, and he hooked his lips and said with a light smile: "Since Shopkeeper Li trusts me, I will definitely not let you down." ”
"Okay." Shopkeeper Li is also a cheerful person, and immediately nodded in response.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Mingzhu, but he didn't hesitate, and said directly: "For the sake of insurance, we still sign a contract." ”
What a cunning old fox.
Gu Mingzhu didn't argue, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Qiao'er, and ordered softly: "You go and prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." ”
"Yes, Miss." Qiao'er stepped back.
When she walked over, there was an extra piece of white paper in her hand.
At this time, Gu Mingzhu wrote down the contract in front of Shopkeeper Li, as well as their respective regulations, and Shopkeeper Li held it in his hand and looked at it again and again for a long time.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Mrs. Gu, please." ”
Gu Mingzhu took the contract and pressed her handprint, and then Qiao'er beside her handed over a silk handkerchief, and she carefully wiped her fingers.
Here, Shopkeeper Li did not hesitate, directly pressed the handprint, and then exchanged contracts with each other, this time Gu Mingzhu took the contract in the palm of his hand and handed it to Qiao'er for safekeeping.
And the shopkeeper Li also looked at it carefully many times, and then carefully folded the deed and put it in his pocket.
"Please also ask Mrs. Gu to take her subordinates down to see your wine cellar." Shopkeeper Li is also extraordinarily shrewd.
"Follow me." Gu Mingzhu didn't think so, she had to be careful and cautious in doing business, she then got up and walked out of the room with broken steps.
Shopkeeper Li followed behind Gu Mingzhu's life, and the two walked towards the cellar.
Qiao'er also ordered the slaves and maids to retreat in advance, Gu Mingzhu led the shopkeeper Li to the cellar, looking at a large wine jar pushed on the ground, and the smell of wine was intoxicating.
"These are all ginseng wines?" Shopkeeper Li's eyes widened in astonishment and asked in astonishment.
You must know that brewing this ginseng wine is very valuable.
"Hmm." Gu Mingzhu bowed slightly, her expression indifferent.
Shopkeeper Li was slightly stunned, no wonder Gu Mingzhu had to sell ten jars of wine every month, and the wine on the General's Mansion was simply in short supply for him.
At this time, Shopkeeper Li's eyes lit up, and he couldn't take his eyes off the wine jar in front of him.
"Someone came and carried out ten jars of ginseng wine." Gu Mingzhu ordered softly.
Immediately, several guards walked in and carefully removed the ginseng wine out of the cellar.
"Shopkeeper Li, have you seen enough?" Gu Mingzhu asked in a low voice.
Shopkeeper Li, who came back to his senses, had an embarrassed look on his face, and quickly nodded and said, "I've seen enough." ”
Silenced, Gu Mingzhu said lightly: "Now Shopkeeper Li should believe me, right?" ”
"Mrs. Gu is so generous, she naturally believes it." Shopkeeper Li said with both hands clenched into fists.
"In that case, let's go." Gu Mingzhu looked relieved, and she walked out of the cellar with broken steps.
Seeing this, Shopkeeper Li also followed closely behind, with a respectful face.
He had doubted Gu Mingzhu before for the shopkeeper Li, but when he saw him today, he completely dispelled this idea.
Back in the side room, Gu Mingzhu sat upright, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip and said, "Shopkeeper Li, sit down." ”
"Mrs. General Xie." Shopkeeper Li then sat down, with a respectful look on his resolute face.
"Now that you've seen the cellar, what else do you want to ask?" Gu Mingzhu raised her eyebrows and looked at Shopkeeper Li and asked softly.
Shopkeeper Li's face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "What is Mrs. Gu talking about, it is an honor to be able to cooperate with Miss Gu." ”
These words fell into Gu Mingzhu's ears, and a light smile appeared on his delicate cheeks: "Since this is the case, then ask Shopkeeper Li to be petty and silver." ”
Shopkeeper Li, who reacted, sneered: "Hmm." He hurriedly pulled out a wad of silver tickets from his bosom and placed them on the table.
Gu Mingzhu looked at Qiao'er with burning eyes, and then Qiao'er stepped forward and counted and said, "A total of one hundred and twenty taels of silver." ”
"Yes, yes." Shopkeeper Li replied respectfully.
Hearing this, a shrewdness flashed in Gu Mingzhu's eyes, "Since you have paid the money, I ordered the guards to carry the ginseng wine to the carriage." ”
"Yes." Qiao'er stepped back.
Seeing this, there was no need for Shopkeeper Li to continue to stay here, so he got up with a smile and said, "It's not too early, I'll leave first." ”
"Hmm." Gu Mingzhu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea and said in a low voice.
Shopkeeper Li was slightly attached to him, and then he got up and retreated.
Looking at the voice of Shopkeeper Li leaving, Qiao'er had a happy look on her face and praised: "Miss, you are really amazing, you actually won one hundred and two taels of silver easily." ”
"I haven't put the money away yet." Gu Mingzhu's face was calm and said indifferently.
"Yes." Qiao'er happily stuffed the silver ticket into her purse.
"I never thought that Miss still had the skill of making wine, but it made the slaves and maids admire."
Qiao'er praised on the side, and the joy on her face was self-evident.
