Chapter 37 Price Increases
"What are you doing in such a hurry? I can't think of any good way to do it in a hurry. ”
Xu Huaiqing closed his eyes tiredly, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, after a day of running, his legs had reached the limit, and they began to ache faintly.
Liu Fu immediately noticed his discomfort, although he was a big man, but he was more careful, otherwise it would be impossible for the Wang family to let him go out with Xu Huaiqing to get the goods.
"Childe, I'll help you take out the ointment and heat it up now, before coming out, the white girl has already told me the method of dressing and precautions."
"Hmm." Xu Huaiqing rubbed his eyebrows, and at the same time thought in his heart, he and the shopkeeper must want to raise the price, but he can't easily agree, once this kind of thing starts, it will feed the other party's appetite, and then there will be endless troubles.
Although he had already guessed that the price of Shopkeeper Hu would rise, so when he heard from his mouth that each piece of fabric would rise by ten yuan, Liu Fu still couldn't help the anger in his heart and began to scold.
"Shopkeeper Hu, why don't you grab it? A piece of cloth will go up by ten cents, and if we buy so much cloth from you at one time, how much will it cost, then do we still need to make money. ”
Shopkeeper Hu didn't get angry when he heard his words, but touched his beard, and the appearance of the old god made Liu Fudu's teeth itch with anger.
"I said brother, don't be so angry, your son-in-law hasn't said anything yet, what are you anxious about here?"
"Hmph."
Liu Fu snorted coldly and retreated to Xu Huaiqing's side, he had been following Xu Huaiqing for a while, and he had seen Xu Huaiqing solve many problems with his own eyes. At this time, in the face of the difficulty of the shopkeeper Hu, Liu Fu felt that his son-in-law must have a way to solve it.
I saw Xu Huaiqing unhurriedly took out a contract paper.
"If Shopkeeper Hu insists on raising the price, of course Xu can't stop it, but I remember that when I first got the goods from Shopkeeper Hu, we made a contract between us, and we made a one-year contract at that time, and I took the goods from you at this price."
When Liu Fu saw the contract in his hand, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he raised his head at the shopkeeper Hu with some pride.
"That's right, we'll have an agreement then, and it's all written here in black and white, so you don't want to admit it."
Shopkeeper Hu saw Xu Huaiqing take out the contract, his face did not change, the most important thing in doing business is credit, but sometimes some special means are needed, his cloth is so hot now, he naturally wants to make a little more.
"Xu Gongzi, of course I haven't forgotten the agreement between us."
Shopkeeper Hu wanted to take the contract from his hand, but Xu Huaiqing took it with a big hand and put the contract back again.
The hand was stiffly stretched out in the air, and the shopkeeper laughed awkwardly a few times, and took back the outstretched hand as if nothing had happened.
"I just don't remember exactly what the contract was set up with, so I want to take a second look."
"I see that you clearly want to destroy the evidence, and then you will not admit it."
Liu Fu sneered, this shopkeeper Hu obviously wanted to repay the debt, and he said it so high-soundingly.
"You can't just do that to me."
Although Shopkeeper Hu thinks so in his heart, he will never admit it on the surface.
"Can you get it for us now?"
Xu Huaiqing interrupted the dispute between the two, he came all the way over, but he didn't come to quarrel.
After hearing Xu Huaiqing's words, the shopkeeper Hu began to touch his beard again, and his eyes flashed with the unique essence of a businessman. Light.
"Xu Gongzi is really embarrassed, we don't have the goods now, so there is no way to get it for you."
"You're clearly lying." Liu Fu strode up and grabbed him by the collar, "When we just came in, we clearly saw a lot of people taking goods, how can you say no?" ”
Shopkeeper Hu angrily pushed away Liu Fu's shackles, straightened out his crumpled clothes, and looked at Xu Huaiqing with an unkind face.
"Xu Gongzi, I am sincerely doing business with you, you just let your people bully me like this, if you embarrass me again, I will have to report to the official, and then I won't be able to eat and walk away, but you."
Liu Fu looked at him as a villain, and the anger in his heart was even worse.
"You shameless villain, I must teach you a good lesson today."
As soon as his hand was raised, he was stopped by Xu Huaiqing.
"Liu Fu, you step aside."
"Childe, we can't just cheapen this bastard for nothing, even if something happens, I will bear it."
Liu Fu shouted urgently when he heard this.
"Liu Fu, don't you even listen to me now?"
Xu Huaiqing snorted.
“…… Be. ”
Seeing that Xu Huaiqing was really angry, Liu Fu had no choice but to retreat behind him even if he was reluctant.
Shopkeeper Hu tidied up his clothes, and snorted angrily at Liu Fu, "You know each other." ”
"Xu Gongzi, don't think that I didn't deliberately don't give you the goods, it's really these people's goods, they are all set in advance, I can't not keep the contract."
He said everything he said, and Xu Huaiqing couldn't show evidence even if he was suspicious.
"Okay, but I don't know when you and the shopkeeper will be able to have our goods here?"
Xu Huaiqing couldn't see a trace of angry expression on his face, but looked at Shopkeeper Hu very sincerely, as if he believed what he had just said.
"Well," the shopkeeper Hu thought for a moment before he said, "There are too many people who placed orders some time ago, and the weather has not been very good recently, and several weavers are sick and have no way to work, I'm afraid it won't be until two months before you have your goods." ”
"Then we'll come back in two months and say goodbye."
Xu Huaiqing didn't say anything more, and left the silk village with Liu Fu. In fact, at that time, the contract was almost expiring, and if the shopkeeper Hu found another reason to excuse himself, they had no choice.
"Childe, that Hu shopkeeper said that he would deliver the goods to us in two months, which is obviously his delaying tactic, and he must have other reasons to refrain at that time, but our contract with him is about to arrive, and once the contract expires, we can only take the cloth from him at a high price, but it is in his arms."
"Am I not aware of what you're talking about? It's just that since the surnamed Hu dares to make such a show with us today, it can be seen that he has a backer behind him, and they all say that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and we can only temporarily back down. ”
This is also the reason why he asked Liu Fu not to quarrel with Shopkeeper Hu at that time.
"Are we going to let him go like this? I'm really not reconciled. ”
