Chapter 400: Going North
The two of them stayed here for a long time in Pei Maodian, and then had lunch here, and after talking for a while, they said goodbye and went back to the inn and began to pack up their salutes.
Xie Yinan opened the wooden box that Pei Maodian had sent, and there were two jade pendants lying upright inside.
Mutton fat white jade, warm color, tentacles warm, and beautifully carved, is an excellent thing.
"Uncle Pei is really too generous." Xie Yinan sighed.
"Well, it should be that we are really relatives to see." Song Leshan nodded and said, "So I thought, if I have time in the future, I can come here from time to time." ”
Look at Pei Maodian more and talk to him.
"Yes." Xie Yinan nodded, closed the box, and put it in his hand for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Xie Yinan didn't move for a long time, Song Leshan asked.
"It's nothing, it's just that this box looks familiar." Xie Yinan turned the box over and over again and showed it to Song Leshan: "Do you look like the small wooden box that you found in the old mansion before?" ”
"It's kind of like that." After looking at it for a while, Song Leshan also nodded: "However, most of these wooden boxes are made of this kind of craftsmanship, and most of them are reddish-brown, and the patterns on them are just auspicious ones, and similarities are also common." ”
"That's just as well."
Wooden box, brocade box, is a kind of packaging box, much the same, in this era of relatively single cultural aesthetics, it is naturally more common.
Not to mention similar, it is possible to be exactly the same.
Xie Yinan didn't take this matter to heart and began to pack his luggage.
In the early morning of the next day, Song Leshan, Xie Yinan, Meng San, and Wang Guangwu boarded a passenger ship heading north and went to Yunxian.
Going north, so to speak, is against the water, and many times the boat relies on the boatman's oars in addition to the wind, and the speed of travel is much slower than when it goes south.
But it's been so long since they've been away from home, and everyone is used to being outside, and everyone is together, so they don't care if they stay on the ship for a few more days.
On the contrary, I enjoyed my time on the ship.
After all, it's March, and the flowers and willows on both sides of the canal, ploughing and working, are full of scenery, and people are also at peace in their hearts.
Compared with the leisurely and complacent nature of Song Leshan and Xie Yinan, Cao Yongchun has been busy these days.
Since that day, when he negotiated with Wen Xingfa and asked him to double the goods, Cao Yongchun went to Pei Ji Tea Store again that afternoon and ordered twice the goods.
But it was not a coincidence, Pei Zhiming was not in the shop that afternoon, so the matter was not decided.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the second day that Cao Yongchun saw Pei Zhiming, and he bought the goods he wanted from Pei Zhiming's hands.
However, Pei Zhiming said that the tea inventory in the hands of Pei Ji Tea Store is also very tense on the grounds that the merchants who have made appointments in various places have gone to Yangzhou City to pick up goods and place orders.
Cao Yongchun naturally understood that Pei Zhiming wanted to increase the price.
This naturally made him unhappy in his heart, after all, he had to sell it to Wen Xingfa, and the money he could make in his hands was not much.
After tossing for so long, Cao Yongchun didn't want to make too little money.
After some bargaining, Cao Yongchun and Pei Zhiming finally agreed that on the basis of the previous transaction price, it would rise by five cents, and Cao Yongchun needed to pay cash.
After thinking about it for a while, Cao Yongchun gritted his teeth and agreed, and handed over the cash to Pei Ji Tea Shop.
In the afternoon of the same day, Pei Ji Tea Store prepared the goods for Cao Yongchun and sent them to the warehouse designated by Cao Yongchun.
After tossing for two days and preparing the goods, Cao Yongchun couldn't wait to call Xu Jie and asked him to ask Wenxing to send it to see the goods and pay the money.
"Yes, sir." After Xu Jie answered, he raised his feet to leave.
"Wait." Cao Yongchun called Xu Jie, who had already gone out.
"What's the matter, sir, what else do you have to say?" Xu Jie stopped.
"I'd better go myself." Cao Yongchun carefully looked up and down the clothes around him, and walked out with Xu Jie.
This Wen Xingfa has a big shelf and many rules, such a big business, if it is because he only lets Xu Jie go, it seems that he is not respectful enough, it is very easy for Wen Xingfa to feel neglected, so he annoys him, and if this business is ruined, it will not be good.
He personally invited him to show his respect, and Wen Xingfa naturally couldn't find fault with him, and maybe he would have a good impression of him because of this, and he would do more business with him in the future.
Cao Yongchun thought like this, and went all the way to the inn where Wen Xingfa stayed.
When I arrived at the door of the inn, a shopkeeper had already answered: "Guest officer, are you a top player or staying in the hotel?" ”
"I'm here to find a merchant from Sichuan who lives here, the shopkeeper of Wen, and I bothered the little brother to go to Tongyu, and said that Cao Yongchun from Yunxian County came to invite him to take a look at the goods." Cao Yongchun arched his hand and said very politely.
"A merchant from Sichuan, the shopkeeper of Wen?" The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said with a smile: "There are a lot of merchants living in this inn, and I can't remember who there are for a while. ”
"There is labor." Cao Yongchun said with a smile.
"You're welcome." The shopkeeper walked away quickly and went straight to the counter.
And Cao Yongchun, standing there, didn't even dare to sit, just waited respectfully.
After a while, the shopkeeper walked over briskly again: "Guest officer, do you have a bad memory, we don't have a guest surnamed Wen here, and there are no merchants from Sichuan, I think you are looking for a mistake." ”
Cao Yongchun was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed: "How can I be mistaken, the name of this inn is clearly written, and the plaque hanging on it is also clear, it is this store, isn't it that your inn has opened a branch next to it in Hangzhou?" ”
"The guest officer laughed, our inn is a time-honored brand in Hangzhou, it has been open for hundreds of years, only this one, there is no branch, but I just went to the counter to see, is there really no guest officer You said that the shopkeeper Wen, I think you have a bad memory, or he does not live in this inn at all, you go to the next place to look for it?" The shopkeeper replied with a smile.
"How is this possible, it's obviously the store where you live, just the things of the first two days, you won't remember the difference, the merchant from Sichuan, the shopkeeper Wen, is talking about the store where you live, how can you deceive me and say no?"
Cao Yongchun can be said to be anxious and angry at this time, and said: "If you guys are joking with me like this, then I am really angry, be careful that I smashed your shop!" ”
"Guest officer, I really didn't lie to you......" The shopkeeper said urgently.
