Chapter 25: Should Business Do This?
Du Shen couldn't have imagined that he wanted to do business well, but people were suspicious, and the three apprentices turned into irritable brothers, and the other party moved instead.
This made him wonder if the other party should have some kind of special fetish!
However, although I think so in my heart, since the other party wants to buy it, it is a good thing to make money.
Du Shen stretched out three fingers, showed a profiteer-like smile and said, "One piece of three cents, no two prices." ”
"So cheap?"
Meng Wen was still thinking just now, this quill pen is so rare, maybe the price will be more expensive, but he didn't expect that there were only three copper plates, and he couldn't believe it.
Then, he took out thirty copper plates directly from his pocket and slapped them on the table.
"Bring me five first, and buy the rest of the ink."
Du Shen was stunned. There was a strange color in his eyes.
Meng Wen was overjoyed, holding a quill pen and playing with it, and he couldn't put it down and wanted to go back to writing, and even tried to paint.
But at this time, Du Shen smiled, and he said meaningfully: "Wait, Your Excellency is also a great talent for reading, I still have a thing here, which is better than a quill brush, I don't know if Your Excellency has any intentions." ”
This posture is exactly the same as when Zhang Hao was an apprentice.
"Anything better?"
Meng Wen was stunned, and then asked, "What is it!" ”
Hooked!
Du Shen pointed to the added chalk and introduced: "This is called chalk, which is also used for writing, but it needs to be used with a blackboard, and it can be reused with a rag after writing." ”
As he spoke, Du Shen's eyes flickered, revealing a seductive voice and said, "This is the treasure of our store, buy it now at a 20% discount." ”
Meng Wen licked his lips and said excitedly, "But I don't know if this thing is as easy to use as you said." ”
I have already bought such a rare thing as a quill in this shop today, and it would not be too good to have another one.
"Easy, you can try it first." Du Shen immediately pulled out a small blackboard from the side and handed him a piece of chalk.
Meng Wen was not polite, and after taking the chalk, he wrote on the blackboard.
Although this chalk is "materialized", there is no problem with writing, but because of the material, it is more durable.
Boom.
Meng Wen's calligraphy level is obviously much higher than that of Xu Pengju, and the words written are also majestic, and the judgment is high.
And what surprised Meng Wen even more was that this word was indeed gone.
The quill is of course a good thing, but this chalk is not bad, and it can be written without sticking ink, which simply refreshes his three views.
"I want this too!"
Du Shen's face was full of smiles, showing his white teeth, and he smiled like a profiteer.
"Thank you for your patronage, a tael of silver, and a set of blackboards."
Although the cost of chalk production is not high, the person in front of him has a little money at a glance, and if the rich don't make money, is it still a person?
Meng Wen hesitated, if it was a few dozen Wen, with his financial resources, he naturally didn't care, but a tael of silver? made him a little reluctant.
Xu Pengju, who had been stopped by Du Shen before, saw this, and suddenly felt disdainful, squinting, and it hurt for only one or two pieces of silver?
What a poor bastard!
He looked down on this kind of poor scholar the most in his life, if it wasn't for the fact that his master had stopped him just now, according to his temper, his fists and feet would be light.
But even so, the contempt in Xu Pengju's eyes was fully revealed.
Meng Wen suddenly felt ashamed, and then thought of the beauty of the chalk, so he simply gritted his teeth and took out the silver taels from his arms a little arrogantly.
"Bring me two sets!"
"Wonderful!" Du Shen stroked his palms and was overjoyed, such a local tyrant, please come a little more.
In the end, Meng Wen left the store with a blackboard and a bottle and can.
……
On the streets of the capital, Meng Wen's posture of carrying large bags and small bags was very funny.
In the distance, several scholars approached him.
They are also all scholars in the capital, and they know Meng Wen on weekdays, although the relationship is not irreversible, but it is not bad.
Seeing Meng Wen's appearance at this time, a tall and thin scholar greeted him with a smile.
"Isn't this Meng Dacai? What's the matter today, carrying a big bag and a small bag, should you give up the palace test at the beginning of the year? ”
Meng Wen rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "What do you know, these things I am carrying are not mortal, they were all bought from a gentleman with a lot of money." ”
When the tall and thin scholar heard this, he was surprised: "What are they?" Can you let me wait and see? ”
Meng Wen was proud, and he didn't hide his secrets, and took out a quill from his arms, which he liked very much, so he put one close to him.
"See, this thing is called a quill pen, which is specially used for writing, and it is different from the brush, which has its own uniqueness."
The tall and thin scholar laughed and said: "I said Meng Dacai, are you stupid, this is clearly a goose feather, you have to say that it is a pen, I think you have been deceived!" ”
This thing looks no different from goose feathers, but it is ridiculous that it is a pen in nonsense.
Meng Wen was annoyed and sneered: "A poor is a poor man, and it doesn't matter if you don't know a quill, and you still talk wildly, and you are ashamed to be in the company." ”
When the tall and thin scholar saw that he was angry, he didn't dare to laugh anymore, so he hurriedly persuaded him.
"Brother Meng, don't be angry, I've never heard of such a thing, so that's why I talked about it."
"Then let you open your mind!"
Meng Wen was disdainful, and in front of them, he took out a blank piece of paper and "rehearsed" it on it.
The pen walks the dragon and snake, and the words are amazing.
Everyone looked sideways and salivated.
"That's a good thing!"
Meng Wen smiled again and took out another thing, but it was chalk.
Then I swiped and wrote a small line on the blackboard.
The font is neat and concise, and it doesn't use ink, which is even more amazing.
At this moment, everyone was shocked.
Everyone's eyes fell on Meng Wen's eyes, which made him secretly refreshed, and called the chalk too worthwhile!
The tall and thin man had a good relationship with Meng Wen, so he leaned over and licked his face and said, "Brother Meng, oh no, Brother Meng, can you tell the little brother whether this quill and chalk can be cut and sold to the little brother?" ”
The others were also glaring, and at the same time they were annoyed by the tall and thin man, this thing wants to eat alone?
Meng Wen was reluctant to sell the quill, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "There is a small shop ahead, if you want to buy it, you can go to which gentleman, don't beat me." ”
"Thank you, Brother Meng."
When everyone learned about it, they were overjoyed, thanked Meng Wen one after another, and then turned around and left.
Meng Wen couldn't cry or laugh, and remembered that there were many shops in the capital, for fear that these people would not be able to find a place, so he reminded again.
"Oh yes, that gentleman also has an apprentice who seems to like to make people poor, you remember not to look in the wrong place."
"Got it."
Far away, the scholars threw down a sentence without looking back.
In-store.
Du Shen is holding the account book to keep accounts, after all, he also owns the shares, and when he goes back to settle accounts with Emperor Hongzhi, he can divide them clearly, and he can't lose money.
But the sudden appearance of a group of scholars made his eyelids jump wildly.
Du Shen looked at this group of crazy scholars, and felt a little panicked.
What do these poor scholars want to do?
Could it be that the local tyrant just found out that he was cheated and found someone to beat him!
Xu Pengju didn't panic at all, he stood in front of his master, and said arrogantly: "Where did you come from, what do you want to do?" ”
Du Shen looked at the three apprentices dumbfounded, his heart trembled, just that Meng Wen was just that, after all, he was alone, and it was not impossible to beat the master and apprentice if he offended others.
But now that there are so many people, you are still so arrogant, isn't this looking for death?
You must know that the scholars in ancient times were not all scumbags with the power of your master, and they could really kill people.
However, what he didn't expect was that when these scholars heard this, not only were they not annoyed, but they were overjoyed.
There are gentlemen and apprentices, and they still call themselves poor, so it's right here.
They bowed one after another: "If we want to buy quills, chalk and other things, please fulfill them." ”
At this moment, Du Shen doubted life.
He couldn't help but have an idea in his head, he opened the door to do business, and he didn't have a guest for two days, and the three apprentices were full of swearing, unceremoniously insulting the other party as poor, and the other party was not only not angry, but treated each other politely to buy things.
Should business do that?
