097 Big City Shopping

Since Qian Feng and Wang Chang left, no one has come to disturb Gao Fei's mansion, everyone in the mansion, including Gao Fei, is still continuing to clean up this mansion, and the family and maidservants are cleaning every house seriously, and before you know it, it is already noon.

Everyone was busy all morning, and they were already hungry, and the maids were responsible for going to the room to cook, but when they went to the room, they saw that there was nothing to eat.

After Gao Fei found out, he simply didn't let him cook, and directly took the family and maid to the restaurant on the street for a full meal.

After that, everyone went together to purchase firewood, rice, oil, salt and other items at Gao Fei's suggestion. However, if you want to buy these things, you have to go to a special market, so under the leadership of Wang Jiu, everyone went to the big market in Jiankang City.

"City" is a general term for the occasions with frequent commercial activities in ancient times, and according to the size of the market, the market can be large and small.

The market that Gao Fei and others are going to today is the largest market in Jiankang City, and the things sold in the market are also relatively complete, and everything that can be used daily can be bought here, so it is called the big market.

Wang Jiu is very familiar with Jiankang City, and it can be said that he is a geographical pass here, so it can be seen that he usually comes out to run errands in the city.

Gao Fei and the others, under the leadership of Wang Jiu, went directly to the big city. The city is built along the Qinhuai River, although the market is on land, but in the Qinhuai River near the city, there is an endless stream of ships, and there are many large cargo ships that also sail in it, transporting goods for merchants on both sides of the Qinhuai River.

Although Goofy walks down the street, his eyes are always on the shops on both sides of the road, and he is watching for business opportunities in the ancient city.

As a modern businessman, Gao Fei has a high business acumen, and after graduating from university, he chose to start his own business, even borrowing the start-up capital from relatives and friends. With his own hands, he achieved his astonishing fortune in just a few years. Therefore, even in ancient times, Gao Fei's business acumen has not diminished at all, and this trip to the big market can be said to be doing market research. He wants to see what kind of business is lacking in the business in this Jiankang City, and then he can use his business acumen to establish his own business empire in ancient times.

In this way, even if he is free from the protection of the Langya Wang clan, he can have enough ability to mix up the world in ancient times.

After arriving in the city, Gao Fei noticed that there were many shops on both sides of the road, and even on the boats in the Qinhuai River near the shore, there were people doing business, and the middle of the street was crowded with pedestrians, which seemed to be very lively.

Due to the endless flow of people here, the voices of people are naturally very loud, and there are high-pitched hawkers on both sides of the street, opening shops and setting up stalls, one shouting louder than the other, to see whose voice is louder. In addition, there are also the sounds of animals sold by vendors, and in short, the noise here in the big market allows Goofy to understand more thoroughly what the ancient market is.

As Wang Jiu said when he introduced the big market before, you can buy the most complete items in life here, such as firewood, rice and noodles, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc., as long as it is an item that can be used in life, you can buy it here.

Gao Fei, accompanied by Wang Jiu and others, came to a rice shop first, and as soon as they entered the door, the guys in the store hurriedly ran over, walked to Wang Jiu's side, and said politely: "Brother Jiu, why are you here?" Come in and sit down and get some rest! ”

Wang Jiu's face was embarrassed for a while, and he hurriedly introduced to the guy: "This is my master, and I am here with my master today!" ”

The guy glanced at Gao Fei, his face was surprised, and he was stunned for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he bowed respectfully to Gao Fei, and said tremblingly: "The grass people don't know that the prince has arrived, and he has missed the distance, so please forgive me!" ”

Gao Fei was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and hurriedly glanced at Wang Jiu, moved his lips, but did not make a sound, and asked Wang Jiu: "How does he know that I am Wang Gongzi?" ”

Wang Jiu saw the content of Gao Fei's words clearly, and hurriedly said to his buddy: "Wrong, wrong, I am no longer on an errand in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now I am on an errand in the Gao Mansion in Changgan, this is my new master, Gao Gongzi!" ”

After listening to Wang Jiu's explanation, Gao Fei was basically able to figure out what was going on. In the past, Wang Jiu was on an errand in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when he came out to buy something, he directly reported which mansion it was, and the merchant would send someone to the door of the mansion when he bought something. When Wang Jiu was on an errand in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he didn't run errands, and after buying things, he asked the store to send things to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so many store owners and guys knew him, and when he came again, he naturally knew that it was the Prime Minister's Mansion who came to purchase things, so he naturally went to Wang Jiu.

Therefore, when Wang Jiuyi introduced Gao Fei as his master, today's guy in this rice shop regarded Gao Fei as the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he called him Wang Gongzi.

After listening to Wang Jiu's words, the guy in the store said with a smile: "Brother Jiu, why didn't you say it earlier, I almost thought that this Gao Gongzi was a prince." By the way, Brother Jiu, you came here this time, or did you come to buy rice? ”

Wang Jiu nodded, and did not speak, but glanced at the guy in the store vigorously.

When the guy in the store saw Wang Jiu's abnormal performance, he immediately understood, nodded at Wang Jiu slightly, and the two of them tacitly agreed, and Wang Jiu also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Gao, how much rice are you going to buy?" The guy in the store bent down and asked.

Gao Fei glanced at the rice in the store, grabbed a handful of bulk japonica rice placed there, looked at it carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "The japonica rice in your rice shop is really good, and the seeds are all full." I just don't know, what kind of price does the japonica rice in your store sell? ”

"Brother Jiu has always been such a regular customer, since Gongzi Gao is the new owner of Brother Jiu, then give Gongzi Gao a cheaper, two hundred big money a bag!" Dude said.

"What?" Gao Feideng was surprised, he didn't buy anything, he bought japonica rice in Wujiang County at first, the japonica rice there and the japonica rice here don't look much different, how can the japonica rice in Wujiang County only sell for a hundred dollars a bag, how come here, the price of japonica rice has directly doubled, "Your japonica rice is too expensive, right?" How dare you sell it for 200 dollars a bag? It's ridiculously expensive! ”

As soon as the words fell, Gao Fei immediately said to the family and the maidservant behind him: "Let's go, let's go to another rice shop to have a look!" ”

The guy in the store looked at Wang Jiu in confusion, and when he saw that Gao Fei had already left the store, he asked directly, "Brother Jiu, what the hell is going on?" Why did Gao Gongzi leave? ”

Wang Jiu, who was also a monk in the second zhang, couldn't figure it out, and replied, "I don't know what's going on?" You seem to have quoted too high a price, so you scared the owner away. ”

"I saw that Brother Jiu was squeezing your eyebrows, and I thought you asked me to slaughter Gao Gongzi fiercely. And Gao Gongzi is just a child, only five years old, what can he understand, that's why I shouted that the price is so high......"

"Wang Jiu!" Goofy shouted outside the rice shop, "What are you still doing there?" Let's go to other houses to see, I don't believe that this japonica rice will be sold so expensive. ”

Wang Jiu hurriedly answered, and didn't bother to talk to the guys in the store, just waved his hand and left the rice shop.

In fact, Wang Jiu used to be on an errand in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when he often went out to buy things, he always negotiated the price with the store, and then the people in the store were responsible for transporting the things to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the chief housekeeper Wang Zhun paid for the goods in a unified manner. In the end, after the merchant got the payment, he would always take a part of the money from it and secretly hand it over to Wang Jiu, which became his private money.

Today, Wang Jiu wanted to repeat his old tricks, but he didn't want to fly high but it was too expensive, could it be that he had bought japonica rice at a young age?

After Gao Fei left the rice shop, he walked a few steps forward, and then he saw a rice shop again, this time Gao Fei took the initiative to ask for the price, and a bag of japonica rice in the rice shop here only quoted a hundred yuan, which was twice as much as the rice shop over there. Gao Fei was thoughtful and immediately knew what was going on, but he didn't make a noise, but paid a fixed amount and asked for ten generations of japonica rice, and asked the people in the rice shop to send someone to the mansion later.

After that, Goofy left the rice shop, and bought some oil and firewood along the way, and even the less important vinegar, but there was only one thing that he had not yet bought, and that was salt.

Yesterday, when Gao Fei and Wang Jiu went to the restaurant to eat together, they once heard the owner of the restaurant say that the price of salt has risen crazy now, and refined salt has been sold for 100 yuan a catty. It is precisely because of this sentence that Gao Fei saw a huge business opportunity, and when he came to buy something in the market today, he naturally had to investigate it to see if it was really as the owner of the restaurant said, the price of salt was so high.

After walking dozens of steps inside, Gao Fei saw a salt shop that was open, but compared with the scene of other shops in the city, the door of the salt shop can be described by four words, and no one went in for a long time, although there were many people, but most of them passed in front of the door, and some people originally wanted to sell salt, but when they walked to the door, they saw the price of salt inserted into it, and they left helplessly, and shook their heads helplessly.

Gao Fei walked to the door of the salt shop, and without entering the store, he could clearly see a small wooden sign inserted on various types of salt, on which the prices of different salts were written: "120 yuan a pound of refined salt, 90 yuan a pound of green salt, 70 yuan a pound of coarse salt, and 40 yuan a pound of brine salt."

After reading the price list here, Gao Fei was a little surprised, he clearly remembered that last night the owner of the restaurant said that refined salt was sold for 100 yuan a catty, how did it only happen overnight, whether it was refined salt, or green salt, coarse salt or even brine salt, all of them rose by 20 yuan, and the price increase was really fast.

However, why did the price of this salt rise, but Gao Fei was puzzled. Gao Fei walked into the salt shop, first grabbed the refined salt here, looked at it carefully, and tasted it again, only to feel that the salt was far worse than the one he had refined.

Wang Jiu and the others followed in from outside the door, and before they could stand firmly, they saw Gao Fei pointing to the brine on the place and said loudly: "Bring me ten catties of brine salt!" ”

After Wang Jiu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly persuaded: "Master, the salt you bought is the worst in the salt, and with the identity of the master, you should eat the best refined salt."

"Of course I know that. I'm going to buy these salts for free, you just have to help me with them. ”

So, the guy in the store got ten catties of brine salt, and Gao Fei paid the money and asked the family to take the salt away.

After the basic items were generally purchased, Wang Jiu proposed to go back to the house and wait for the items to be delivered to the door. But Goofy didn't think so, he felt that he had too little time to hang out, and he didn't even look at this place, so he offered to buy silk and make himself some new clothes.

So, Wang Jiu sent Wednesday and Dai Liu to return home with the things they bought, and Wang Jiu accompanied Gao Fei and the two maidservants to buy silk and satin.

However, there is no silk here in the big market, and if you want to buy silk, you have to go to the East Market.

The East Market is another relatively large market in Jiankang City, but it is not as big as the big market in terms of scale, just because it is in the east of the big city, in order to distinguish the two markets, so it is called the East Market.

So, Gao Fei and the others, under the leadership of Wang Jiu, went straight to Dongshi......
