Chapter 55: Coercion to Sell Soap (Part II)
Su Yang'er and the others followed Su Qianyi to the soap group alley, but saw that there were only three courtyards here, and all of them were locked, so they couldn't help but be suspicious and asked, "Everyone is open for business, why is there no one here?" ”
Su Qianyi led them to the gate of the courtyard in the middle, and only then did he rummage through the keys and respond: "There are not many people who buy soap balls, and they will only start work when they have a list, and this place is empty on weekdays." ”
"Empty?" Su Yang'er was stunned when she heard this, looked left and right, and asked again, "Are these three courtyards your family's?" ”
Su Qianyi shook his head and said: "There are three soap groups in Yixing, all of them are here, and my family is just one of them." ”
Due to the narrow supply area of soap balls and the complex flavor recipe, it is remarkable to have three suppliers in this small mountain town.
The leading industry in Yixing is naturally the tea shop, but tea is one of the monopoly products of the Song Dynasty, and the tea shop is inextricably linked with the government, so there is no head in the franchise; As for salt, iron, and wine, the same is true, at the end of the Song Dynasty, the financial and tax development depended on the control of monopoly products and the complex business management model.
As he spoke, he found the key, threw the door open, and slowly pushed it open, saying, "Two ladies, please." ”
Su Yang'er looked inside the door, but found that there was a room behind the door, there were two shelves in the house, and there were some balls wrapped in sesame oil paper scattered on the shelves, and a small wooden sign was hung under each package of oil paper, which seemed to be a price card, and there was a small door behind the shelf, which was also locked.
Even if the door was opened, the hut was still a little eerie, and when they walked in reluctantly, they smelled the pungent aroma in the hut, as if emanating from the sesame oil paper on the shelves.
The light in the room was dim, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Su Qianyi who closed the door with his backhand.
Su Yang'er said with a disgraced face: "You... What are you doing? ”
Xiao Ling was scared and said, "Fake blind, don't come here!" ”
Su Qianyi blocked the door of the house and said: "Don't be afraid, two ladies, it's just that you can't see the strong light on the soap balls on the shelf." ”
Hearing this, Su Yang'er felt a little relieved, but when she saw Su Qianyi standing motionless at the door, she faintly felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help asking, "Then how can we see the things in this house?" ”
Su Qianyi took a deep breath and said, "Little lady, I am really forced by someone, please believe me!" ”
"So he's still doing this..."
Su Yang'er, who was as timid as a mouse, secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, she didn't intend to expose him, but seeing that he was so worried about this trivial matter, she felt very funny, and then her dimples were revealed: "I can trust you, but..."
Su Qianyi said nervously: "But what? ”
"But I don't think there's much to see here, you open that little door, and I want to go out into the yard behind the house."
Unexpectedly, Su Qianyi categorically refused: "No! ”
Su Yang'er frowned slightly: "Why? ”
Su Qianyi's tone remained unchanged and said: "Behind that is the workshop important land, and outsiders are not allowed to enter." ”
Seeing that his attitude was so tough, as if threats would not help, Su Yang'er had no choice but to give up, and said in a different mind: "It's okay if you don't go in, then you help me do something, and I won't tell Su Weng what you did yesterday." ”
Su Qianyi was overjoyed when he heard this, and his momentum softened: "What does the lady want Su to do?" ”
Su Yang'er took out the ball of cloth and said, "You help me put it in the store and sell it, it doesn't matter how much it sells." ”
Su Qianyi was slightly stunned when he heard this, he saw it all at the right time, and naturally knew that Pari was wrapped in a lump of rotten soap, he also grew up in the market, and he was very familiar with soap balls and the way of weaving.
At the moment, he was embarrassed: "If the lady's masterpiece is put in the store, if it is bought by the ignorant person, how can it be good to scold my family for bullying customers, not to mention that I can't be the master here, why don't you change one thing?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Su Yang'er's heart was on fire, Su Weng couldn't look down on it, even this little scholar who was held by herself looked down on herself, and she wanted to rush out of the room to expose this person to Su Weng.
But she thought about it for a while, and sighed faintly: "Well, since you are so embarrassed, little uncle, then forget it..."
Su Qianyi was overjoyed when she heard this, she never expected Su Yang'er to be so understanding, and when she wanted to speak, she heard her say.
"Anyway, uncle, you've already done that kind of thing to me, and I don't have the face to see anyone again..."
"That kind of thing?" Su Qianyi was stunned for a moment, puzzled: "What kind of thing?" ”
Except for being beaten by Lu Jingyuan yesterday because he glanced at Su Yang'er twice, he didn't seem to take any advantage.
But the more Su Yang'er said, the more outrageous she became: "Uncle Xiao likes to bully women so much, he must have done that kind of thing to many sisters and sisters outside... If I tell Su Weng all these things, he will be very sad, right? ”
The so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, Xiaoling has been infected by Su Yang'er for a long time, and she actually said: "You bullied my lady yesterday, our whole family saw it, and the old man won't let you go!" ”
Seeing the master and servant singing and harmonizing, Su Qianyi's face changed drastically and said, "You... You guys..."
"Xiaoling, let's go."
As she spoke, Su Yang'er pulled Xiaoling towards the door, looking like she was going to complain.
Su Qianyi hurriedly blocked their way, and his tongue knotted: "I... I sell, I sell, okay? ”
If no one next to Su Yang'er took his hand, stuffed the ball of cloth into his hand, and said, "This is sensible." ”
Feeling the soft glutinousness of Su Yang'er's palm, Su Qianyi couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the two had already walked out of the house, and he glanced at the cloth in his hand again.
sighed in his heart: "That's it, the right is here, no one will buy this kind of thing anyway, wait a few days, I will take some money from her at will, and say that it has been sold." ”
Thinking of this, he wrapped it in sesame oil paper, put it on the cabinet, took a wooden sign, wrote a random number and hung it on it, and sorted out the finished products on the surrounding shelves and hid them behind.
When he walked to the door, he didn't seem to be at ease, so he walked to the shelf again, took off the price tag, erased the ink, rewrote a number, and hung it on the reverse side, so he left satisfied, but when he walked to the alleyway, he found that Su Yang'er's family had driven away, leaving only Su Weng standing alone.
Su Qianyi looked at the carriage that was moving away, and then lowered his head to look at the hand that had been shaken by Su Yang'er, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
