Chapter 61 Chapter 54 West of the City

As soon as he went out, Mengyu instructed the coachman to take down the sign of the Lin Mansion on the carriage. The coachman drove the unmarked carriage all the way to the dry goods store in the west of the city.

Helped out of the carriage by Tao'er and Xing'er, Mengyu stood in front of the main entrance of the "Sihai Dry Goods Store". Mengyu looked at the plaque that was still quite brightly colored, and the words on it were written in gold, which could be seen that this store should have a lot of income every day. Mengyu took a deep breath and stepped into the store. Perhaps, this is the first step on her path to housekeeping.

Not long after entering the store, a neatly dressed shopkeeper came out to greet him. The shopkeeper smiled: "Say hello to this young lady." As he spoke, he looked at the carriage behind Mengyu, but found that no one got off the carriage anymore, and suddenly looked at Mengyu's eyes and became a little puzzled.

Xu is junior in this shop has a very good professionalism, but after being slightly stunned, he continued to entertain Mengyu warmly: "This young lady looks at her eyes, it's the first time to visit the shop, right?" Do you want to buy something? ”

Mengyu glanced at him and didn't take a conversation. This is how momentum is cultivated. Mengyu bypassed the shopkeeper and looked carefully at the counter, neatly placed celadon jars one by one, and there was naturally no shortage of good things among them.

The shopkeeper didn't pay attention to him when he saw Mengyu, but he didn't reduce his enthusiasm at all, and continued to step forward and start to introduce: "Don't look at my owner's store in the west of the city, it is not a big room, but the small room also has the elegance of a small room, and there are many dignitaries and nobles who come here to buy things." At this time, Mengyu was already listening with his ears, but his face seemed to continue to look at the contents of each jar, touching it in the east and smelling it in the west. Seeing that Mengyu still ignored him, the shopkeeper was slightly embarrassed, just paused, and continued: "As long as the owner has many friends and a wide range of contacts, he can receive many good goods that are difficult for others to find." ”

"Oh? What are some of those that others don't have? Mengyu seemed to be interested, turned his head to look at the face of the shopkeeper and asked.

Seeing that he had spent so much time, the shopkeeper finally caused a little reaction from Mengyu, and suddenly introduced it even more energetically: "That living dead, the Tianshan Snow Lotus with white bones is a treasure, right?" Of course, there are not many of them. There is also a very rare thing, that is, I don't know if the young lady has ever heard of it. ”

Unexpectedly, give him a response, he resold the pass. Mengyu smiled and asked curiously, "What is it?" Tell me about it, maybe in the eyes of Miss Ben, it's nothing! ”

"Miss, don't underestimate that thing." The shopkeeper began to boast about herself, and she felt that Mengyu's words were looking down on herself. "Miss, have you ever heard of a thing called Cordyceps?"

This time, it made Mengyu laugh out loud. It turned out to be Cordyceps sinensis, maybe people in this era are indeed rare, but after all, she has lived under socialist education for more than 20 years, how can she not hear of this. "Isn't it like a bug in winter and a root grass in summer?"

"Eh, Miss actually knows!" The shopkeeper looked at the teenage girl in front of him in disbelief. He stayed in the industry all day, and he had heard of few of them, and even fewer of them. Even he was able to see that rare thing because he had just arrived today. I underestimated this girl, but I was afraid that this girl had an extraordinary background, and she was either rich or expensive.

Mengyu didn't answer if she knew the cordyceps, but asked with a smile, "Aren't you a dry goods store?" Why did you tell me about some medicinal materials such as Tianshan Snow Lotus and Cordyceps? ”

"That's what the young lady doesn't know. These two things are rare things in the market, and it is also a long-faced thing to buy and give gifts. Of course, if the lady wants some bird's nest or something, our store naturally has the best bird's nest for the lady to choose. As he spoke, the shopkeeper held a beautiful box, which was exactly what he was talking about.

When Mengyu was still Lin Xiaoruo, although he didn't live a poor life, he didn't have the luxury to have the money to buy these things, so naturally he couldn't understand the good and the bad, Mengyu just glanced at it and looked away.

The shopkeeper had already glanced at Meng Yugao, thinking that she didn't look down on what she had in her hand. Immediately brought another box, opened it in front of Mengyu, and said: "This is an authentic blood swallow, if the young lady can't look down on it anymore, the little one has nothing to say." ”

Mengyu smiled and picked up a reddish-brown blood swallow and took a closer look. She also had the pleasure of tasting it once at the old lady's, and it is said that the nutritional value is much higher than that of ordinary bird's nest, and the price is naturally much more expensive. Mengyu put down the blood swallow, looked at the shopkeeper who was looking at her expression seriously, and said: "I don't like it, it's because I don't need it, you don't know how to do business, and you haven't asked me what I need since I came in." With that, Mengyu turned around and continued to look at other things.

The shopkeeper put the blood swallow back in its place, looked at Mengyu's back, scratched his head, and asked a little embarrassedly: "What does the young lady want, the villain can take a good look at the young lady." ”

Finally got to the point, Mengyu turned around and asked, "Then let me ask you first, is the price you give to each family a uniform?" ”

"Miss rest assured, our store is sincere in business, and we will never deceive Miss to go." At first glance, the young lady is a knowledgeable person, how dare she say the price casually!

"If I buy more, can it be cheaper?"

"This, if the young lady buys more, then, the villain will be the secondary master, and he can sell it to the young lady at a little cheaper, but it can't be too cheap." The shopkeeper pretended to be embarrassed, and secretly rejoiced that a big business was coming.

"But if I can call the shots, in the future, all the abalone ginseng wings and bird's nest supplements at home will be purchased from you, can there be any more discounts?" Dream Yu came one step closer and tentatively said.

"Can Miss call the shots?" The shopkeeper looked at Mengyu with a look of disbelief.

"Miss Ben said it, so naturally!" Dream replied in the affirmative.

"This, this is not something that villains can say, you have to ask the owner for instructions."

"On weekdays, how much discount can a sale like mine have?"

"About eighty out of five should be feasible...... shopkeeper glanced at a somewhat serious dream, thinking that in general, such a fixed customer, the final bargaining price is set at seventy percent of the original price. But he didn't want to lose a big customer, and he couldn't let the owner have no room for bargaining, so he had to answer ambiguously.

"Then your host is available today?" The owner of the dragon without a tail must not appear. Encountering such a treacherous and cunning businessman is not something that a little hairy girl like her can casually fool around. But if it is to bully and bully this young shopkeeper, she should still be feasible. Otherwise, her plan will be in jeopardy.

"The owner has gone to visit friends, and he will probably return tomorrow." Hearing this answer, Mengyu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and rejoiced.

"That's a pity." Mengyu pretended to have a disappointed expression on her face and said, "Otherwise, you will quote me the original price of everything that you used to need as a fixed guest." When I go back, I'll take a closer look, and I'll come to your home tomorrow to continue the negotiation with your owner. And that eighty-fifty discount, be sure to write it. If your boss doesn't want to give me this discount tomorrow, I'll ask you! ”

The shopkeeper replied happily: "If it doesn't work, Miss will look for me." "The market price is about the same for everyone, and there is nothing to say, and he said that the discount of eighty percent is high, and when the owner comes back, he must praise him.

Mengyu folded the list of unit prices of various things written by the shopkeeper, put them in his sleeve pocket, and then returned to the carriage satisfied.

The shopkeeper didn't know that he was just fooled by Mengyu, and he couldn't help but say to Mengyu with joy: "Miss go slowly, the villain will definitely notify the owner, and wait for Miss in the store tomorrow." Hearing this, Mengyu only felt that the shopkeeper was really stupid and cute, so he didn't say anything, and told the coachman to go home.

As soon as Mengyu left, a man about twenty or so, with the image of a beautiful son, came to the store. The shopkeeper looked away from the carriage that was far away, and as soon as he saw this person, he immediately stepped forward to ask for Andao: "Why did the owner come back so early?" ”

"My friend never came home when he went out, so he had to go again next time." Then, the proprietor looked at the direction in which Mengyu's carriage left and said, "When did you make you so happy?" ”

Sure enough, the shopkeeper couldn't hide a smile on his face, and replied: "There was a big order just now, and there was a young lady in the carriage, saying that she would fix it for us to supply." Asked me if I took the market price and if there was a discount. The villain agreed to eighty out of five for the owner, and looking at the young lady's appearance, he should be satisfied. The shopkeeper had a "come and praise me" expression on his face.

Who knows, but I heard the proprietor reply thoughtfully: "Really? ”
