Chapter 33: Disappointment

The shopkeeper Wang is also a neat person, and when he heard this, he directly quoted five taels of silver and asked Lin Jiu to bring everything.

To tell the truth, this price of umami is not a loss at all, not to say that this meat sauce is a rare thing, just say that a bunch of mushrooms are also good things.

Lin Jiu didn't say anything, went out for a turn, took out the inventory from the space, turned his head back to Xian Weiju, and handed over the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other.

Taking the money, she left the restaurant briskly. Instead of going home right away, he walked around the town, wondering if it would be appropriate to rent a house there.

The weather is getting colder and colder, although she doesn't care about living in the wild. But Zhao's body is weak and needs a comfortable and stable environment to recuperate. Always sleeping in a tent and collecting firewood for cooking every day is not conducive to her recovery.

After turning a few streets, I asked people again. Lin Jiu took a fancy to the three courtyards, each with its own benefits.

The family is in the north of the town, the yard is large, the house is new, and the price is not expensive, one or two silver for three months. At the rate at which Lin Jiu is making money now, he can earn a year's expenses in one day. However, the disadvantage is that it is more biased and there is no furniture.

The second one is in the best location, only two streets away from the downtown area, so it's easy to go anywhere. But the house was too small, and there was not even a proper yard. And the people who live around are mixed, and the rent is not low, one or two silver a month. Although Lin Jiu can earn this money, he always feels that the place is not particularly satisfied.

There is also a house in a good location, the yard is quite large, there are furniture, and the rent is not high. But there is a point that needs to be lived with the owner. The landlord is an old lady with a little grandson, her son and daughter-in-law died unexpectedly, and the grandparents and grandchildren are guarding a small house and can't eat. In the end, I wanted to find a way to rent a house to make money.

To be honest, Lin Jiu likes the third house the most, but he has never been in contact with the owner, so I don't know if they get along well. Besides, the matter of renting a house can only be decided after discussing it with the Zhao family. She didn't alarm the grandchildren.

After looking at the house, Lin Jiu went to the cloth shop to buy some embroidery cloth and other things that the Zhao family needed, and was about to go back, when she suddenly heard someone calling her, and when she looked back, a person who looked like a shopkeeper was chasing after her.

"Miss Lin, wait."

Lin Jiu stood up and looked at the other party suspiciously, this person looked a little familiar.

"Miss Lin, you went to the shop a few days ago. I also put down a packet of spices. The shopkeeper said breathlessly.

Lin Jiu suddenly became a big business, when he sold thirteen incense on the first day. He Erniu once took her to two restaurants, and both left samples for them to try. However, Xian Weiju found her the next day and bought all the thirteen incense in his hand. She left the other restaurant that didn't move.

"Are you, Shopkeeper Ding?" Lin Jiu searched hard in his memory.

"Yes, it's old decay. Girl, we think the seasoning you left last time is good. Do you still have it? ”

This is business coming to the door, Lin Jiu knows it in his heart. However, everything is on a first-come, first-served basis. Since he had promised the king that the thirteen incense would give priority to them in the future, Lin Jiu would not break his promise.

"I'm sorry, Shopkeeper Ding. I've sold out of spices, and I'll have to wait a while to make them. Moreover, there are already restaurants that have ordered all the goods with me, and I am afraid that they will not be able to sell them to your home. ”

Lin Jiu spread his hands, very helpless. Who told you not to move quickly, don't you pay attention to a trick to eat all over the world?

Shopkeeper Ding's face was bitter, and he felt remorseful in his heart. That day, He Erniu took Lin Jiu to sell the seasoning and left a sample. He didn't pay attention to it at all, thinking that a peasant girl had made something new. So I didn't even try and threw it aside.

These days, he suddenly found that the business of his competitor Xian Weiju was surprisingly good, and he robbed them of many guests in Chu Xiangyuan. At first, I thought that Xian Weiju had changed the chef, but then I quietly inquired, and the people were still the same as before, but the taste of the dishes had improved.

Shopkeeper Ding was very curious, and spent a lot of money to find out what special seasoning he had bought. Suddenly, he remembered the events of that day. Quickly from the corner of the horn, find the thirteen incense wrapped in a layer of dust.

Thinking back to what Lin Jiu said at the time, Shopkeeper Ding asked his chef to try it, and the effect was extraordinary. At this moment, the shopkeeper Ding regretted not being at the beginning. Knowing this, how could he let Xian take the lead.

made up for the loss, found the Ding shopkeeper with the value of thirteen incense, and asked everywhere where Lin Jiu went. Unexpectedly, this girl didn't go to the market. When I arrived in town, I went straight to Xian Weiju. If it weren't for Shopkeeper Ding's well-informed, he wouldn't have been able to meet it this time.

"Miss Lin, you can see if you can be accommodating. We also need the spices in your hands, and the price is negotiable. ”

Lin Jiu shook his head, this is not a matter of price, "Shopkeeper Ding, you have to be trustworthy in business." I promised them that as long as I had the goods in hand, I would supply them first. Unless they can't eat everything, they won't sell it to anyone else. ”

Shopkeeper Ding's heart sank, if he was himself, even if he bought and stored this seasoning, he would not let the opponent take advantage of it.

"Miss Lin, can't you really think of a way?"

"I'm sorry for the shopkeeper." Lin Jiu shook his head, indicating that he couldn't help.

Actually, what kind of effort does it take to make some thirteen incense, she just wants to hang the other party's appetite. I have to let these people know that her Lin Jiu's things are not big road goods, and they can be bought casually.

Shopkeeper Ding looked at Lin Jiu's distant back, his face full of disappointment. Because of this incident, he has been severely criticized by the owner. Thinking about what he had to face when he went back, his back became more and more rickety.

That's it, who made him careless? Let's go back and talk to the owner.

Back at Chuxiang Building, the owner of Ding's shopkeeper was waiting for him behind the store, and when he saw him go back, he hurriedly asked, "How is it, have you bought it?" ”

"No, I didn't buy it. Miss Lin said that it was out of stock. Moreover, even if there is goods in the future, you have to hold on to others first. People don't want it, so they can sell it to other users. ”

"You didn't say we're willing to give more?"

"That's it. But the girl said that it is not about money, and it is necessary to talk about credibility in business. ”

"Oh." That's interesting. It's just a village girl, and she actually knows what business reputation is, and it seems that she really has some ability.

"It's called Lin Jiu, isn't it? If I have the chance, I will meet her personally. ”

Shopkeeper Ding trembled and didn't dare to raise his head, but just resignedly: "It's definitely no problem for Yan Dong's family to go out, where can a rural girl be so ignorant." ”

"Really?" A string of silver bells sounded like a beautiful laugh. Shopkeeper Ding quietly wiped his sweat, peeked at his owner, and breathed a sigh of relief.
