Chapter 28: Fat Sheep
A banquet for 100 people, even for Changle Restaurant, is a huge business, not to mention that this banquet will be held for half a month in a row.
The shopkeeper was so happy that he smiled again and again: "Of course you can!" I don't know how the little lady plans to arrange the banquet? What to go with? How much wine to order? ”
Du Baozhu frowned in distress and said, "I don't know the amount of food and wine of the masters, and the amount will be set at this time, which is embarrassing for me." ”
The money was placed in front of him, and the shopkeeper's attitude was very amiable, so he smiled and said: "If the little lady is sincere, she has paid the deposit first, and then she can wait for the banquet to end and then calculate the actual money spent." ”
What he said was to pay the fifteen-day fee in advance, wait until the martial arts meeting is over, and then do an inventory, and return it to Du Baozhu if it is not used up.
The cost of a meal for 100 people for 15 days is 100,000 yuan. Anyone who has ever done business knows that if there is such a large amount of money in the store, it will be of much more use.
Therefore, in a large business, both parties to the business will try to keep the money in their own hands by means of bookkeeping and collateral.
And the shopkeeper's proposal was obviously because Du Baozhu was young and could be fooled at will.
Du Baozhu knew a little, but he was not angry, and still put on a slightly ignorant expression and said: "Although this method is good, I have other expenses, and it is not good to bet all the money on you." ”
"If the little lady is nervous, deposit half of the deposit first, and then make up for it when the money in the account is used up." The shopkeeper's little eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "But if it is according to this law, there is a rule in our industry: if the little lady regrets it, the deposit will not be refunded." ”
"Not going back?" Du Baozhu blinked, as if he was frightened by the statement given by the shopkeeper: "If I didn't spend money in the store, and the store didn't lose anything, why didn't I refund the deposit?" ”
"It's not a foolish little lady," the shopkeeper saw Du Baozhu's eyes flickering, as if he had retreated, and was so afraid that the duck in his mouth would fly, and quickly explained: "Not only my wine shop is like this, but you are all over Kyoto, and they are all such rules." You think, you said you want to come to my place for dinner, and I have to prepare drinks and food in advance. I've bought all these things, and you suddenly can't come, and I don't have the land to go back? This deposit is used to compensate for this. ”
"Oh......" Du Baozhu nodded as if he didn't understand: "You do have some truth when you say this." But I still don't understand one thing, this deposit only restricts me from repentance, but if the expensive wine shop regrets not selling my wine and food, or does not sell enough quantity, what should I do? ”
"This ......" shopkeeper didn't expect that although this little lady was young, her brain was clear, and she was not easy to fool. His eyes flashed, and he said, "Look at what the little lady said, how can I regret this door-to-door business?" ”
Du Baozhu said seriously: "There is always a case in everything, and you can't count just by your words." In business, you can't just bind me, and ask the shopkeeper to say a charter. ”
"......" The shopkeeper looked at the money on the table, and then looked at Du Baozhu with a serious face, gritted his teeth and said: "We can sign a contract, whoever regrets it should lose money, do you think this is good?" ”
"Well, that's fair." Du Baozhu smiled at this time: "Then do what the shopkeeper says." ”
The shopkeeper couldn't help but smile when he saw that the money was about to arrive.
However, before the corners of his mouth grinned, Du Baozhu suddenly had a new question: "There are several ways to sign the contract, how can we sign it?" ”
In ancient times, there were two kinds of contracts, one was to go to the government to sign, and the other was to pay a sum of money, and if something happened, the government would come to make a ruling. The other is a contract signed by the people in private, if this kind of breach of contract, sue the government, the government will not pay attention to it, and it will all depend on the Chinese people to deal with it.
Most of the common people did not understand the law, and they were reluctant to spend the money for the book, so they privately found a reliable Chinese person to sign it. However, once you encounter a scoundrel who messes around and does not fulfill the contract, you can only consider yourself unlucky.
The shopkeeper of Changle Liquor Store originally saw Du Baozhu's polite behavior, thinking that it was the daughter of a family in Kyoto who willfully threw money, and only planned to deal with things casually.
Unexpectedly, Du Baozhu actually understood the ingenuity in the contract, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he almost couldn't laugh. Only then did I remember to take a closer look at Du Baozhu.
I saw Du Baozhu wearing a silk cut dress, the placket and cuffs were embroidered with delicate patterns, and the shoes were also very delicate satin embroidered shoes, and the upper was also nailed with small and round pearls.
The guards around him are also dignified, if he didn't stand behind Du Baozhu, he was afraid that he would be regarded as someone's little Langjun.
The shopkeeper's eyes rolled, and his heart was full of thoughts.
Now that the situation is turbulent, ordinary eunuchs can't afford to raise such a delicate daughter, plus this girl knows a lot about business, so she should be the daughter of a wealthy businessman.
But he walked in Kyoto all the year round, and he had never heard of a wealthy merchant surnamed Du...... That's the rich man who just made money and moved to the capital!
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and looking at Du Baozhu was like looking at a fat sheep who was born fat and fat. Foreign merchants have no foundation in the capital, and they can only suffer in vain if they are slaughtered. When such a good thing is delivered to the mouth, how can it not be justified?
The shopkeeper quickly had a plan in his heart, and said with a smile: "I don't know how the little lady plans to make a contract?" ”
