Chapter 7: Everything is ready
"Five cents and one foot, three feet are sold." Shopkeeper Liu pointed to a row of linen cloth and said.
Seeing that Gao Feng's tone was gentle, he really wanted to buy cloth, but as a businessman, Shopkeeper Liu still changed his attitude. Those who come are all guests, and no one wants to get along with money.
"How do you sell silk cloth?" Gao Feng asked, pointing to the silk fabric.
"One hundred cents and one foot." Shopkeeper Liu's tone turned cold, and he became suspicious of Gao Feng's motives.
A poor egg plus a gambler would buy silk cloth? No one believes it anywhere, but if you have money and don't gamble twice, but come here to squander it, is this a gambler's style?
Shopkeeper Liu's attitude did not affect the peak, he came to shop, not to find fault, not to mention that Shopkeeper Liu had already accosted, he didn't believe that this business could not be done.
As for what fabric to buy, Gao Feng couldn't make up his mind for a while. The linen cloth is too rough, has poor stretchability, and is easy to break; Silk is too thin and prone to wrinkles, so each fabric is unpleasant.
The only way to do this is to buy both, and use them in combination, so the effect may be better.
Thinking about the joints, Gao Feng pointed to a piece of linen cloth and a piece of silk cloth and said, "I want these two pieces of cloth." After speaking, he took out four hangings and 200 Wen and handed them to the shopkeeper Liu.
The cloth of the Song Dynasty was four zhang and one horse (about thirteen meters), and the two pieces of cloth were exactly four hangs and two hundred wen.
Shopkeeper Liu took the money and was stunned for a moment. He really couldn't figure out that Gao Feng would actually buy cloth, was this the person he remembered?
The most important thing is that Gao Feng actually has so much money to buy cloth, even big families rarely do this, and Shopkeeper Liu was stunned and didn't even notice that Gao Feng calculated the accounts quickly and accurately.
However, the characteristics of a businessman are quickly manifested in Shopkeeper Liu. He smiled and asked kindly, "Brother Gao wants so much cloth, he must have made a fortune recently, right?" ”
Shopkeeper Liu's question was very purposeful, he wanted to know how Gao Feng's money came from, and he also wanted to find out what Gao Feng was doing with so much cloth.
How could Gao Feng not understand Shopkeeper Liu's thoughts, but he didn't want to reveal his true purpose, so he said extremely respectfully: "I bought it for Zhang Dong's family." ”
Zhangzhuang's Zhang family is a well-known big family, and buying some cloth is nothing, Gao Feng said this to dispel Liu's doubts. He also bought cloth for the Zhang family, and it was not too much to borrow the other party's name.
However, Gao Feng's words did not dispel Liu's doubts. There are many servants in the Zhang family, do you still need a gangster like you to buy cloth? No one believed it even if they were killed.
Seeing that Shopkeeper Liu was still suspicious, Gao Feng explained again: "Originally, Zhang Dongjia asked my father to do this, but my father was sick, so he could only let me come." ”
Gao Feng's explanation is very necessary, before he corrects his reputation, or before some of his ideas are realized, he still doesn't dare to stimulate everyone's attention and let too many people pay attention.
Although Shopkeeper Liu will be suspicious, he is no longer stubborn in the idea that there is no evidence, in his opinion, if Gao Feng can go on the right path from now on and do things well, maybe the Gao family will have less trouble and the neighborhood will have less trouble, which is also good.
After buying the cloth, Gao Feng didn't leave in a hurry, he continued: "Shopkeeper Liu, can you handle the cloth in your store for me?" ”
It turns out that Liu Ji cloth shop not only sells fabrics, but also opens a branch on the side, which is a tailor shop, and the cloth head that Gao Feng said refers to those that are cut out and useless, and the reason why he went to Liu Ji cloth shop to buy cloth is also to take a fancy to these waste fabrics.
"Brother Gao patronized our store and bought so much cloth, some waste fabrics, keep it and take up space, you can take it away." Shopkeeper Liu agreed very happily this time. The other party not only made him a sum of money, but also helped him dispose of the waste, why not? As for what the other party wanted to do, he didn't even bother to ask.
Gao Feng also wants this effect, so he is no longer polite, and directly loads the fabric and cloth head into the car. There are a lot of cloth heads, and a large cart is loaded, which should have been accumulated for a long time.
After saying goodbye to Shopkeeper Liu, Gao Feng went straight to Zhang's butcher's house.
Zhang Butcher is the only slaughterer in Shaoji, usually slaughtering some pigs, sheep, and dead cattle, but that is a rare time in many years, and Gao Feng came with the attitude of trying it out.
When the market was approaching, Zhang Butcher was packing up his stall and preparing to evacuate, and when he saw Gao Feng coming to the door, he did not face each other coldly, but said: "The meat is sold out, come back tomorrow." ”
Before Gao Feng came to buy meat, Zhang Butcher happened to be absent, and his wife helped sell it, although he did not personally do Gao Feng's business, Gao Feng's changes reached his ears, so his attitude was not bad.
Gao Feng didn't talk about the beef tendon with Zhang's wife, because it was inconvenient for the meat stall to be crowded, and it was not easy to talk about it when the man was not there.
"Boss Zhang, I'm not here to buy meat, I want to buy some beef tendon, I don't know if there's any?" Gao Feng didn't beat around the bush and asked straightforwardly.
Zhang Butcher glanced at Gao Feng in surprise and said, "That kind of thing is rare, not sold casually. ”
As soon as he heard this, Gao Feng immediately felt that there was a door, and the other party did not directly refuse, it should be a matter of price. Without further speaking, he took out five hangings, laid them on the table, and sat there looking out the door, as if he did not care about the matter.
Zhang Butcher stared at Qian for a long time, opened his mouth several times, but couldn't utter a word, until he heard Gao Feng cough lightly, and then asked in a low voice: "What are you used for?" ”
Zhang's butcher's caution was not unreasonable. To some extent, beef tendon is considered a military strategic resource, and the state protects it, and some local governments even have strict recycling measures. Of course, the state can use it, and some people with ulterior motives can also use it, and Zhang Butcher has to ask clearly.
"My dad makes furniture, but it doesn't show it on the outside." Gao Feng responded calmly.
"How much furniture do you want?" Zhang Butcher didn't know what furniture would use beef tendon, but he only hesitated for a moment, didn't ask to understand, and instead asked about the other party's needs.
"At least two cows, but it's no problem to have more, and you can still use it to make furniture in the future." Two cows is a conservative statement, only enough for Gao Feng to use this time, according to his idea is to have as many as he wants, but he is afraid of scaring the Zhang butcher, so he has reservations.
"I only have one cow here, and if I have more, I have to go to the county to get it, but it will take three days." Zhang Butcher hesitated and replied.
Looking at the cautious appearance of the butcher, Gao Feng naturally understands the risk of this matter, but this risk is not big, it is far less than killing cattle, however, the other party is careful, he does not dare to persecute, if he wants the other party to actively help, it depends on the problem of more money and less money.
casually took out five hangs of money and put it on the table, Gao Feng said: "I have to trouble Boss Zhang to go to the county seat, and I still need a marble slab?" I don't know if I can help me bring it, and the money will be settled together. ”
Gao Feng's original plan was to have no marble slabs, after all, it was difficult to find suitable materials in the countryside, and now that Zhang Tuhu was going to the county seat, he wanted to add this, so that the results would be good.
Zhang Butcher's eyes were fixed on the ten hangings of money on the table, without blinking. He earns a few hundred wen by selling meat a day, and now he can earn ten yuan by running to the county seat, which is too cost-effective.
However, Zhang Butcher still pushed the five hanging money back in front of Gao Feng and said: "I will try my best to do the marble slab thing, but you should take it back, and it will not be too late to pay after the matter is completed." ”
Zhang Butcher's approach made Gao Feng very satisfied, and it can be seen that he is not the kind of person who is insatiable.
did not recover the five hanging money, and Gao Feng also understood that this money could not be recovered. Zhang Tuhu has not fully recognized him in his heart, if he wants to get things done, it is better to have the charm of Brother Kong Fang.
The matter was negotiated, the two sides handed over clearly, agreed on the time to get the goods next time, Gao Feng turned around and left, it was not early, and he should go home.
Pulling the cart to rush home, it can be said that he returned with a full load, and Gao Feng breathed a sigh of relief: "Now everything is ready, just look at the five levels and six generals in the back." ”
