Section 5 Key Customers
Chen Yuan didn't want to give them such an impression, so even though the wine was sold out, he was still chatting with these people, so that the drinkers could feel that you were not just doing business, you were trying to make friends with them.
It was already dark, and the luxurious carriage came to the inn again. There were still four people in the car, the fat man's expression was a little depressed, Chen Yuan guessed that he didn't find a better inn than this one, so he could only come back and live.
After the group of four people entered, they went straight to the room on the second floor. The fat man looked at those poor scholars, and his brows furrowed again, as if living with these people was a very disproportionate thing for him.
The groom lived in the innermost room, and the fat man and a woman lived in the room against the stairs.
The only woman was left to take up residence in the middle room, and she was obviously a maid and servant, and she did all the chores that came in and out.
Linghua has cleaned the room very cleanly, but this obviously does not satisfy the fat man. It's not that he's not dissatisfied with hygiene, he doesn't want to live in this inn at all. So no matter how clean the Linghua is, the fat man will not be satisfied.
"Xiaolei, go buy sandalwood on the street and come back! I want that kind of five taels of silver for a box, and throw the sandalwood he has here to me, I can't stand the smell! ”
"Xiaolei, bring me the brocade quilt on the carriage! This bed is so hard, how can people sleep! ”
"Little Lei! …….”
The fat man tossed vigorously, and the maid ran upstairs and downstairs vigorously, until the fat man was tired of tossing, and then settled down.
"Dad, he sold a total of six taels of silver. In addition to the capital of four taels or three dollars, and then the house money is one or two or seven dollars, there is still one penny of silver. Linghua whispered in front of Shopkeeper Yang.
Shopkeeper Yang looked at Chen Yuan, who was squatting outside and chatting with those drinkers, and sighed after a while: "Okay, let's move him back." ”
Some of the scholars immediately quit, and one of them stepped forward: "Shopkeeper! I waited for the hotel, all of them came to catch the exam, so Chen Shimei gathered like this downstairs, noisy and abnormal, how can I read quietly with peace of mind? ”
Other scholars also chimed in.
Chen Yuan heard the shouts in the house, and did not look back, and continued to talk to those drinkers, but the shopkeeper Yang suddenly shouted: "What is the matter with me in your rush to take the exam?" I opened a store, and people gave me money for the house, where did I have the reason to drive people away? ”
There was silence in the room.
At this time, Chen Yuan suddenly saw a figure running here in a hurry, and when he got closer, the figure shouted loudly: "Where is the son who sells wine?" ”
Chen Yuan hurriedly stood up: "Xiao Ke is here, may I ask which brother it is?" ”
The figure rushed over and grabbed Chen Yuan's shoulder: "Childe, Bin Yue hug, ten jars of wine!" ”
Ten altars! A full tank!
Chen Yuan carefully looked at the figure in front of him, and then recognized that it was the little beggar who was talking to him just now.
With a smile on the little beggar's face, Chen Yuan hurriedly turned back to the house and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I want another vat of wine, okay?" ”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Now there is no more, tomorrow morning there will be." ”
Chen Yuan shook his head: "No, I want it now, the shopkeeper tells me where I can get the wine, and I'll just go and get it." ”
The shopkeeper said: "It's still at the south gate, come and go for at least one hour, plus you have to push a vat of wine with a car, there are no two hours that can't come back, it's better for you to go and talk to others, just say that there is no wine, and send it early in the morning." ”
Chen Yuan said very firmly: "The guest wants wine at this time, it must be urgent, the shopkeeper will tell me the detailed address, and I will hire a carriage to pull it." It's just that I want to get some of the money I earned back just now, and I'll pay you back when I collect the wine money. ”
The shopkeeper was also happy at this time, and after telling Chen Yuan the address, he gave him three taels of silver: "You just said that I let you go, and he will give you cheaper." ”
Chen Yuan smiled: "Thank you Shopkeeper Yang." ”
Coincidentally, there was a drinker outside who was driving a car, although he drank a little wine, but he did not miss him to catch the car, and the Song Dynasty did not check drunk driving.
Looking at the backs of Chen Yuan and the others in a hurry, Shopkeeper Yang's heart was very complicated. A scholar suddenly gave up the opportunity to take the opportunity to test for fame and change careers to do business, such behavior was not only unacceptable to the shopkeeper Yang, but also difficult to accept in the entire Great Song Dynasty.
However, seeing that Chen Yuan sold out the two jars of wine that he could sell in three or four days in an hour and a half, Shopkeeper Yang suddenly felt that if this person did business, he would definitely be a good hand.
The speed of the carriage was much faster than the shopkeeper's estimated walk, and Chen Yuan secretly estimated in his heart, a vat of wine, the cost of two taels and one yuan, sold to Binyue Lou three taels.
He made a net nine denarii of silver, two of which he gave to the car, and one penny to the little beggar. Chen Yuan himself fell six dollars. In other words, Chen Yuan sold wine for an afternoon and reaped seven coins of silver.
The charioteers were all finished, and they took over a business, and they were very happy to make two cents of silver, and they drove the carriage as fast as they could, and it didn't take long to load a jar full of old wine into the wagon.
Chen Yuan and the little beggar sat side by side in the car, holding the wine jar to ensure the safety of this vat of wine. He was very interested in the kid who had sold him a vat of wine: "What's your name?" ”
"I don't have a name, they all call me Little Finch, and I've grown up with a lame uncle since I was a child." Xiao Qi'er raised her head and looked at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan touched his head: "Can you tell me how you sold ten jars of wine?" ”
Xiao Que'er smiled: "It's very good, I went to a restaurant to ask them if they wanted to drink, and when I asked Binyue Building, they just ran out of wine." It's thanks to this dress, otherwise people wouldn't have let me into the restaurant. ”
This is easy to say, but it is five or six miles from Binyue Building to the inn where Chen Yuan lives, and there are several large and small restaurants along the way, and a few restaurants means how many times Xiao Queer has been rejected. In the face of rejection again and again, he can still move on to the next store, which shows that he has the potential to be a salesman.
Chen Yuan's touched his shoulder: "Where did this dress come from?" ”
Xiao Fei'er's expression suddenly became solemn: "Every year when I pick up some clean clothes that I can wear, I keep them, I don't want to be a beggar for the rest of my life." ”
Chen Yuan patted him on the shoulder: "I believe that you will not be a beggar for the rest of your life." ”
Chen Yuan really believes that Xiao Qi'er will not be a beggar for the rest of his life, because he doesn't want to, and he is trying to change, so he can definitely do it.
Both of them stopped talking, but they were both in the same happy mood. When he walked to the door of the inn, Chen Yuan asked again, "You have a penny, what are you going to do?" ”
The little finch asked, "Can I help you sell wine again tomorrow?" ”
