Chapter Eighty-Five: The Garment Shop
The three grain stores must be greasy, and Jia Lian doesn't want to pay attention to it now. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info wait for him to sort out the things at hand, and then he turns around and cleans up the vampires.
There are three other shops, one of which is a ready-to-wear store nearby, Jia Lian led everyone to the door, and Wang'er explained beside him.
"The shopkeeper of this shop is the godson of Mr. Lai, who is in charge of Lai Pei."
The shop is located at the end of the street in Dongcheng, and the flow of people is not very large.
Jia Lian nodded and said that he understood, and then took Jia Yingchun into the door.
"Guest officer, please, the materials are on the first floor, and the ready-to-wear is upstairs."
Jia Lian nodded and glanced at the furnishings on the first floor.
There are many kinds of materials, and there are a lot of them. It's just that although the flow of people outside is not very large, it is also busy, and there are only two guys left in this shop except for a few of them.
continued to go upstairs, and when he reached the stairs, Jia Lian couldn't help frowning.
The armrests are so stained that people don't dare to start at all.
The stains were not covered with dust, but they had been wiped with unclean water, but because they were not wiped carefully, there were lines on them.
And the stairs are narrow and steep, which can only accommodate one person.
"You and them casually wander down there, if there's anything you like, take it, I'll go up and have a look first."
Jia Lian patted Jia Yingchun, and then said a few more words to Xing'er, and then went upstairs, followed by the guys in the store.
It's good to look at the eyeliner, but the color of the clothes is very dark, and you can tell that it must have been hanging for a long time. The style is old-fashioned, and there are not many of them.
"You guys don't look good in these clothes, take the best and I'll take a look."
While watching, Jia Lian spoke.
With such a good location, the business is so bad.
And is Madame Wang that stupid? It's already like this, it's better to rent it out or change it to another business.
The shopkeeper's face was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and when he saw that Jia Lian's clothes were very gorgeous, he smiled and spoke.
"Childe is in the wrong place, a shop like ours is doing the business of a poor family. A noble person like Childe needs to go to the streets. There are several ready-to-wear stores there, which are much more expensive than ours. ”
Jia Lian was amused when he heard this, and turned to look at Xiao Er.
"It's the first time I've seen this kind of business, and the door-to-door business is rushing out."
Scratching his head with his hand, Xiao Er was a little embarrassed by Jia Lian.
"Don't hide it from the guest officer, the reputation of our store in this area is really not very good, you see these clothes, they have been hanging for several years, and no one has come to buy them."
Jia Lian was surprised, thought about it, and took out a broken silver from his sleeve and handed it over.
"What does that say? You tell me about it. If you don't open for a few years, where will the money come from? ”
He took the silver with a face full of surprise, and the smile on Xiao Er's face was even worse.
"Thank you, officer, it's no secret. Our ready-to-wear stores are generally not very open. But it is the shop of the Guogong Mansion, and the shopkeeper is the godson of the big housekeeper inside. Therefore, the clothes, shoes, socks, quilts, etc., of the slaves in it all year round, are all from my family's account. Buy low and sell high, in fact, what we earn is the difference in the middle. ”
Oh, this relationship is good, and your own family earns your own family.
Jia Lian went downstairs with a cold face and walked straight to the counter.
"Show me your ledgers."
I also know that the ledger sent to the house must have been tampered with.
Although there is little hope now, it is better to make a surprise attack directly, and maybe some surprise will break out.
There were only two guys in the store, and Lai Pei was not there. The two looked at each other, not figuring out the situation for a while.
"My grandfather asked you to take out the account book, you don't have long ears!"
Xing'er saw that the two of them did not move, and roared impatiently.
Seeing that Jia Lian was overwhelmed, the two had no choice, and one of them had to take out the account book in the cabinet tremblingly.
Jia Lian stretched out his hand to take it and looked at it a few times at random.
"Wang's Splendid Workshop?"
Raising his eyebrows, looking at the account book, Jia Lian's face became more angry.
Okay, surprise.
There are no other accounts in the account books, and what is recorded is the material that will be imported from Wang's Jinxiufang every quarter.
A thick booklet, all of which are the purchase details of Wang's Jinxiu Fang.
"Tell your shopkeeper that he will come to the house tomorrow to find me."
Dropping this sentence, Jia Lian took Jia Yingchun out without looking back, and Xing'er told the two of them Jia Lian's identity.
Although he didn't know the details, Jia Lian only looked at the account books and knew that it must be Mrs. Wang's means.
She is also fat, and Wang's two words are hung up so clearly, as if others don't know that she is full of private pockets.
Wang's Splendid Workshop ...... It should be the shop where she got married, maybe this ready-to-wear store in the past is still good. It's just that now most of the customers have moved to Wang's Splendid Workshop.
The little second said that the materials or ready-to-wear clothes made by the people of Jiafu in all seasons went out from here. The accounts of Naja are looking at again.
Take a tent here, block Lai Da's mouth, and then put all the rest of the money into his pocket in Wang's Jinxiu room.
When she came, Jia Lian didn't tell Jia Yingchun that this was Jiafu's own shop, so the little girl had a good look at the material of this shop.
She is a young lady of everyone, and she began to learn female red with a female gentleman when she was three or four years old. Although I can't talk about everyone yet, I still have the ability to distinguish materials.
Coupled with Jia Lian's words to the shopkeeper just now, the little girl is already smart, but there was a Baoyu and Tanchun pressed on it before, and it couldn't be revealed.
Vaguely guessing something at the moment, he thought about Lala Jia Lian's sleeve, and bit his lip to speak.
"Brother, there's something wrong with the material there."
Women are born to love these things, even small women. So when Jia Yingchun stayed below, he walked around with great interest.
It's just out of her clothes, those materials that look gorgeous on the outside, but they are unexpectedly rough to the touch. It's completely different from the soft and delicate materials she wore in the house.
I asked a question or two in confusion, but the name of the answer was the same as the name of the material in the house.
Jia Lian was originally thinking about the shop, but when he heard this, his heart moved, and he squatted down and looked at Jia Yingchun as he spoke.
"Oh? So tell me, what is the problematic method? ”
"Their material is defective."
She couldn't find any other reason for that.
Defective?
Thinking that Xiao Er did not have a good reputation, Jia Lian knew a little more in his heart.
I think this part is a good thing that Lai Pei did.
Although the shop is deserted, there are always a few that are not eye-opening.
The original materials in the shop were replaced with defective products, and naturally the reputation was getting worse and worse.
