Xu Tiantian looked at the proprietress who was cheerful and easy to deal with, so she spoke.

"The proprietress has to sell a piece of cloth for twelve yuan, and I am the only one here who has a recipe, so naturally only you can make a lot of money here. If it is only provided to you, naturally I will make more money. How about two pieces of cloth for a tael of silver? ”

"This ......"

The proprietress was a little hesitant, they could only sell this foot of cloth for more than ten yuan, Xu Tiantian's two pieces of cloth cost one or two pieces of silver, which is undoubtedly a piece of cloth, and their purchase price will be five hundred yuan.

In business, she naturally has to think about her own interests, if the price of this cloth increases, will anyone come to buy it?

Xu Tiantian saw at a glance what the proprietress was hesitating: "Although the proprietress can rest assured, the style, color, and material are all here, and naturally there will be no shortage of customers." ”

There are two kinds of people on this pier, one is a hawker who grills seafood for a living, and the other is mostly a scholar, and the most important thing for a scholar is to save face.

What's more, although this cloth is a little more expensive, no one is a fool, and everyone understands the truth that you get what you pay for.

The proprietress gritted her teeth, her heart was horizontal, it was better to fight like this, and if she lost it, she would buy a lesson: "Okay, one or two silver is one or two silver." ”

After that, he put away the two pieces of cloth by himself, and then took out a tael of silver from the counter, touched it carefully, simply closed his eyes, and handed them to Xu Tiantian's hand.

Xu Tiantian accepted the silver and smiled lightly: "The boss just waits for the cashier." ”

The proprietress looked at the two pieces of cloth that came in at a "high price" in her hand, "I borrowed my sister's auspicious words!" ”

Xuan Ye and Xu Tiantian walked side by side, just looking absent-minded, Xu Tiantian only thought that he was uncomfortable. It wasn't until the next day when Xuan Ye went back and handed over two taels of silver to Xu Tiantian that Xu Tiantian jumped.

"Xuanye, you, where did the silver in your hand come from?"

Xuan Ye has always been an honest person,

But right now, he didn't have any serious business, so he came back with two taels of silver, and Xu Tiantian was a little suspicious in his heart.

"Yesterday, I went out with you, and when I was on the street, I heard some people saying that the master of the Wang family and the master of the Sima family were not at eye with each other, and the people of the Sima family secretly wanted to make a stumbling block for the Wang family."

"I don't know if it's true or not, but I always want to give people a wake-up call. I went out early this morning and became the residence of the lord of the Wang family. Tell him to be careful. ”

"The master of the Wang family is a good person, so he gave me two taels of silver, saying that if I want to pay attention to those two people in the future, I will report to him in time."

Xuan Ye saw that Xu Tiantian seemed to doubt herself, and felt a little sad in her heart, but she still explained it kindly.

He went out early this morning, and he didn't know how many wrongful roads he had walked before he finally found the Wang family's house.

After Xu Tiantian heard what Xuan Ye said, she was relieved and nodded, "Even if you hear these things in the future, kindly remind people not to go in person, what if you provoke the other party again?" ”

I thought that I would let Xuan Ye collect the two taels of silver by himself, but after thinking about it, Xuan Ye was a man after all, and he didn't know where the silver was spent, so he took it back, but it was going to be used on him in the future.

Xuan Ye smiled lightly, looking at Xu Tiantianjiao's two taels of silver in his arms, and suddenly had a sense of accomplishment.

"Tiantian, don't worry, I have already dealt with this matter properly, most of the shops in this city are Sima or Wang's family, and even the cloth shop where you sell cloth is from the Wang family, and such a big family is the most lacking in silver."

Xu Tiantian wondered, isn't that shop the proprietress's personal shop? How did it become the king's house?

"If the proprietress is from the Wang family's shop, why is she still alone all day long?"

Xuan Ye sat aside, took Xu Tiantian's hand, and patiently explained to her.

"There is a gilded line of small characters in the lower right corner of the plaque of the shop, which is the foundation of the Wang family. Most of the shops in this city will have such words, in fact, they are their own shops, but most people without background will find bigger merchants when they seek protection, and pay a certain amount of silver taels every year, and no one dares to go for trouble. ”

When Xuan Ye said this, Xu Tiantian understood, in fact, it was a protection fee, which was his own, but a certain amount of silver taels would be handed over to the upper family every year.

It's just that this merchant can't ensure that the business in the store is prosperous, so he can only say that no one comes to look for trouble.

"Most rich people are afraid of death. When the business grows, the enemy family is naturally indispensable. If anyone can pass on this gossip to me, he will take precautions, and he will be eager to give a few more taels of silver, and directly give the man an offering, so that he can pay attention to it and report it to him at all times in the future. ”

Xu Tiantian moved widely, and her eyes looked at Xuan Ye with some incredulity.
