Chapter 369: Doing Business (Medium)
The shopkeeper of Mengdiezhuang Han thought that Song Yi and they entered the store to take revenge, so the expression on his face was not good.
Song Yi smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Han, why do you think so?" ”
"Guest, didn't you just take care of the past? Although six years ago, our shop guy offended you by speaking, it was our fault. But time has passed, and there are a lot of adults, so you shouldn't be angry with those guys now. Shopkeeper Han said.
"Don't worry, shopkeeper, we're taking revenge on you. Today, we are here to do business with the shopkeeper."
"Doing business?" The words of the guest in front of him made the shopkeeper Han a little unable to turn around.
Obviously, they have been looking for fault and getting angry everywhere since just now, and now they suddenly say that they want to do business with themselves? Is there something strange about this? Shopkeeper Han couldn't make up his mind, so he could only stare at Song Yi and them.
"Ma'am, don't make fun of us, do you?" Shopkeeper Han thought about it, but still felt that these people were looking for his own happiness, so he didn't pretend, and directly broke the matter of Song Yi pretending to be a man.
"Shopkeeper, when did you see that I was dressed as a woman?" Song Yi asked.
"Madam, the small one is a ready-to-wear shop. I have the most dealings with female customers, in fact, as soon as you walk in, I find that both the lady and the girl are dressed as women. It's just that I'm afraid that this is the fun of the two of you, so I didn't say anything."
"Since the shopkeeper saw it early in the morning, why didn't he break it just now?" Song Yi asked with a smile.
"Kyoto is nowhere else, and we've seen a lot of strange things. Not to mention women pretending to be men, it is men pretending to be women, and it is not unprecedented. If you can't hold this scene, how can you open a store and do business? Besides, Madame and the girl were only dressed in men's clothes, and did not do anything out of the ordinary. Why should I be bored and do that thankless job to expose you? Shopkeeper Han said with a sneer.
"Since the shopkeeper is in charge, it's not strange. How did we finally break our identity? Is it because we said we want to do business with you? Song Yi continued to ask.
"Madam, why make fun of me. You know that this shop is the property of the real king's mansion, but I'm just the one who looks after the shop for the owner. The reputation is better, and others call me a shopkeeper. Actually, I'm just a buddy. What can I do as a man of the owner's property? Madame just said that she wanted to do business with me, didn't she mean to disgust me? ”
Shopkeeper Han said angrily.
"You shopkeeper, why are you so ignorant. Our wife, seeing that your business is cold, wants to take care of your business. You're whining so much. Are we spending money and doing something wrong? After the real princess's gender was discovered, Zhang De no longer pretended, and called Song Yi his wife.
"This brother, it doesn't make sense to speak. When you entered the store today, you couldn't look down on the products in our store, and you belittled the things in our store for nothing. In this case, if this lady says that she is coming to me for business, can I still think that she is here to buy my things? This shop, isn't it this shop that can get into the eyes of the lady? Although the business of our shop is not good, it does not mean that the location here is not good. On the contrary, this is the old town, and Chang'an Street is also one of the main roads in Kyoto. There is an endless stream of customers on the street outside, as long as you clean it up, the things in the store are not too inferior, there is business to do"
"Shopkeeper, if you say it so well, then your owner didn't think of it? So why is Mengdiezhuang still operating so bleakly for so many years? Song Yi finally asked the key question.
Shopkeeper Han was already disheartened and had the idea of finding another source, so he simply said what he thought in his heart, "Madam, who is it?" What do you want to hear? ”
Before Song Yi could speak, Zhang De said again, "You shopkeeper ......"
"Don't talk about it. Anyway, there are no guests today, so I'll just tell you about it."
"Xiaoxi, go to the door of the store to list and close. I have something to talk to these guests," Mr. Han instructed one of the men, Konishi, to close the door.
Then, Shopkeeper Han welcomed Song Yi and them into the back hall.
"Anyway, there is no business, so I will give you half a day off today, and you can go back first." Shopkeeper Han said to the two guys.
"Okay, shopkeeper" The two guys looked like honest people, and after hearing that the shopkeeper gave them a holiday, they left happily.
Watching the guy leave, Shopkeeper Han sighed, "Hey! ”
"Shopkeeper Han, why do you have to sigh for a long time?" Song Yi asked.
"Madame doesn't know. I'm afraid Mengdiezhuang won't be able to support it," Shopkeeper Han didn't know why he would say these words to an outsider.
Maybe it was because Song Yi's words about doing business with him just now moved the shopkeeper, and his unwilling heart was ready to move again. Over the years, the reason why he has continued to stick to this dream butterfly village is not only his loyalty to his old club, but also because of his love for ready-to-wear.
He started as an apprentice and learned to cut and sew from his master, and he has been doing these jobs all his life. When he got older, he was appreciated by the owner, took a fancy to his talent, and was promoted to become the shopkeeper of Mengdiezhuang. That's more than 20 years.
How many twenty years are there in life? From apprentice to shopkeeper, he has never left this business in his life. He is not reconciled, the store he has worked so hard for so many years will end up selling cheaply. The reason why he was shaken was also because the men and masters who followed him had been companions for many years, and he couldn't bear to let them fall into poverty. People of their age, who doesn't have a family and a mouth, can they support a family with the salary of the ready-to-wear shop?
It is absolutely impossible to have feelings. Shopkeeper Han originally wanted to take the money and join forces with Li Ji Garment Shop, so that Li Ji Garment Shop could accept these old guys of his own. That way, he can also have peace of mind.
But the arrival of these four guests today made Shopkeeper Han a little moved. Instead of sending someone under the fence, why not let someone buy this shop from the real king's mansion. As long as this shop is there, who do they care who is the owner?
"Shopkeeper, why do you say this? Could it be that Dream Butterfly Village is really so unbearable? Song Yi was also surprised and hurriedly asked.
"Guys, I shouldn't have said bad things about my boss to you. But I really want you, and I dare not hide it from you. Over the years, the shop has been losing money. Although it is the property of the real king's mansion, our dream butterfly village is like a child born by a stepmother. The things in the store are broken and repaired, repaired and repaired, and they are in tatters, and even we can't stand it anymore. Not to mention those customers who enter the store, seeing that the store is so old, they will also muttered in their hearts"
