Chapter 52: Selling Cloth
Caiyi Pavilion is worthy of being the largest and most popular clothing store in Qingshi County, the store is directly opened on the main street of Qingshi County, a total of two floors, there is a big plaque hanging upstairs, the line is written with Caiyi Pavilion, it is said that this word is still mentioned by the county grandfather's son.
"It's a good place." Liu Meiniang stood in front of the Caiyi attic with two pieces of cloth in her arms, touching her chin and looking.
"Sister-in-law, it's so beautiful inside." Zhang Dandan pulled the corner of Liu Meiniang's clothes.
"yes." Liu Meiniang said approvingly.
The interior of the Caiyi Pavilion is very elegantly decorated, and you can see the white feather wind chimes swaying from the door.
"Let's go inside." Mei Niang took the lead and walked in, after all, she was a person who had lived in modern times, and this formation of Caiyi Pavilion could not scare her after all.
"Miss, what do you want to see?" As soon as Liu Meiniang walked in, someone came forward to greet her, Liu Meiniang looked at the woman in green in front of her quietly, although she looked good-looking, she could see that it should be a girl in Caiyi Pavilion, but she didn't see a trace of looking down on people in her eyes, it seems that the boss of Caiyi Pavilion should be a powerful character.
"I want to find your boss, don't you know how convenient?" Liu Meiniang went straight in.
"But what are you not satisfied with our service?" The girl in green said softly.
"No, I have something to talk to your boss, I don't know if it's convenient?" Liu Meiniang pointed to Zhang Jihan's embrace.
"Miss, please come upstairs with me." The girl in green was obviously a knowledgeable person, and she only glanced at the cloth in Zhang Jihan's arms and invited the group to the second floor.
"Miss, why don't you invite a few distinguished guests who came with you to go to the side hall to rest." The girl in green also saw that Liu Meiniang was the one they could call the shots here.
"Mother, Aunt Li, you take Dandan and them to rest for a while, Ji Han, you follow me." Liu Meiniang did not shirk and arranged it directly.
"Okay, Mei Niang, then we'll wait for you in the side hall." Zhang Li and his party are still a little blindsided, and they haven't reacted to why they are treated so politely.
Liu Meiniang knows that all the businessmen who are atmospheric will have a very long-term vision, especially if they can open the Caiyi Pavilion in a county town, and even many people from other provinces and counties can come here to buy clothes, and the people behind the Caiyi Pavilion must not be simple.
If the people here turn them away because of what they are wearing, it is better not to cooperate in such a place, Liu Meiniang absolutely believes that if Caiyige does not cooperate with her, it will be a loss for Caiyige.
"Sister-in-law......" Zhang Jihan was a little at a loss, he should have entered such a high-end place for the first time in his life.
"Grab a piece of cloth and let's go inside." Liu Meiniang said.
"Okay." After Zhang Jihan got the order, he immediately put the cloth in his arms in an empty place, and only took one horse to follow Liu Meiniang.
"What is she going to do?" Zhang Tongtong and the others were taken to other rooms by another girl, and said indignantly.
"Sister-in-law has something to do." Zhang Dandan sat on the chair and said with his feet dangling in the air.
"Hmph, what does she have to talk about?" Zhang Tongtong said disdainfully.
But no one replied to her.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there are some refreshments here, please use them slowly." A girl in pink clothes brought a plate full of food, she glanced at everyone curiously, and found that they were all ordinary peasant women, I really don't know why Sister Luluo explained that she wanted to treat them well.
"Wow, these pastries are so beautiful!" Zhang Dandan exclaimed.
"Thank you, sister," Zhang Dandan said obediently.
"You're welcome, use it slowly." A hint of contempt flashed in the eyes of the girl in pink, and she closed the door and left.
"Drag, what's drag!" Zhang Tongtong looked at the back of the pink clothes and sighed lightly.
"Tongtong!" Zhang Li scolded.
"Hmph." Zhang Tongtong snorted and didn't speak again.
"Mei Niang's ......," Aunt Li asked worriedly.
"Aunt Li don't worry, sister-in-law is very powerful." Zhang Dandan took two pieces of pastry and gave one to Zhang Li and Aunt Li.
"Okay, thank you Dandan." Aunt Li took the pastry and said with a smile.
"It's delicious." Zhang Dandan stuffed a pastry into his mouth and said vaguely.
"Eat slowly." Zhang Li looked at Zhang Dandan lovingly, although Zhang Dandan likes to eat these pastries very much, but she is still trying to restrain herself, and Liu Meiniang has not forgotten the eating etiquette that Liu Meiniang taught her.
"It's really rural." The pink clothes at the door glanced at everyone, and after making up their minds, they turned around and left.
Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jihan were taken into the innermost room on the second floor, and the furnishings of this room were obviously much higher than those downstairs.
"Wait a minute, you two, and I'll go and call our shopkeeper." The pothos blessed the body and went out.
"Sister-in-law, did you say they would buy our cloth?" Zhang Jihan asked uncertainly, he was still very confident, but after seeing the furnishings of Caiyi Pavilion, he was a little discouraged.
"Yes, not only will, but they will also cooperate with us for a long time, just like Chunmanlou." Liu Meiniang said confidently.
"What a big breath girl." Suddenly, a deep male voice came from outside the door.
"Your Excellency is the owner of the Caiyi Pavilion?" Seeing the person coming, Liu Meiniang hid the surprise in her eyes and asked casually.
The visitor was wearing a royal blue brocade robe, tied up with a belt around his waist, and a piece of fine white jade hanging, with his black hair draped behind his shoulders, a pair of peach blossom eyes shining, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of tenderness, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.
Liu Meiniang suddenly realized that the novels she read in high school described "Mo flowers bloom early, and gentlemen are like jade".
The person in front of him is the best interpretation of this sentence.
However, people who generally seem to be easy to get along with are actually very difficult, such as the one in front of him, who should be a veteran who hides a knife in his smile, although Liu Meiniang was also attracted by this man's appearance for one second, two seconds at most, but she was not carried away.
"In Xia Xue Wuyi, the boss of Caiyi Pavilion, I don't know the girl's ......" When Xue Wuyi saw Liu Meiniang, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, he didn't expect that there were such good-looking women in Qingshi County, even compared to those ladies in the capital.
"My name is Liu Meiniang, this is my younger brother, and we are here to discuss business with Boss Xue." Liu Meiniang divided five by two and said her purpose.
As soon as I heard Xue Wuyi, it was not a real name, taken from the "Book of Songs": How can it be said that there is no clothes, and he is the same as the son.
Could this Boss Xue be a? Liu Meiniang interrupted the thoughts in her mind, the house girl is ten houses and nine rotten, either or not.
"But what's wrong with the name?" Xue Wuyi saw the subtle expression on Liu Meiniang's face, closed the folding fan in his hand, and raised his eyebrows and said.
"No, no." Liu Meiniang hurriedly waved her hand.
"The girl said she was here to cooperate with Zaixia?" Xue Wuyi was obviously very interested in what Liu Meiniang had just said, after all, businessmen only cared about things related to money.
"To be precise, it's to cooperate with your Caiyi Pavilion." Liu Meiniang corrected.
"Oh? Tell me about it! Xue Wuyi was amused by Liu Meiniang's words.
"Look at this." Liu Meiniang handed the cloth held by Zhang Jihan to Xue Wuyi.
"Hey, this cloth seems to feel better than other cloths." Xue Wuyi immediately saw the difference.
"Boss Xue takes a closer look." Liu Meiniang said with a smile.
Xue Wuyi looked at it carefully for a while when he heard this.
"This ..... It feels a bit like the brocade satin of the southern country. Xue Wuyi's voice was slightly raised, obviously a little excited.
Daqi's heavy industry, such as military, weapons manufacturing is very developed, so Daqi is the strongest country in this era, but the development of Daqi's light industry is not very good, especially the weaving industry has not been as developed as the south, and there is a national treasure in the south is Jinhua forging, which is given to Daqi as a tribute every year.
"Visionary." Liu Meiniang snapped her fingers, although she didn't even know what Jinhua Forging in the south looked like, but this did not prevent her from pretending to be forced.
"Girl, this ......"
Xue Wuyi officially paid attention to it at this time.
"I won't tell you Boss Xue, this is what my family made, I don't know if Boss Xue has any intention of cooperating with me now?" Liu Meiniang's slender fingers knocked on the table carelessly, this action turned out to be very good-looking, Xue Wuyi realized that it was very inappropriate to stare at the girl's hand, so he quickly diverted his gaze.
"The girl is really willing to cooperate with our Caiyi Pavilion?" Xue Wuyi asked solemnly.
"I'm here, doesn't Boss Xue believe in my sincerity?" Liu Meiniang said with a smile.
"Since the girl has said so, I, Xue, naturally can't ask for it." Xue Wuyi shook his fan and said.
"Then Boss Xue means that he agreed to cooperate?" Liu Meiniang asked again.
"Of course, I, Xue, like to do business with a cheerful person like a girl." Xue Wuyi replied affirmatively.
"Okay, but I have one condition." Liu Meiniang said suddenly.
"The girl said." Xue Wuyi sat upright.
"We only provide silk, weaving cloth from your side." Liu Meiniang said as a matter of course.
"Girl......" Xue Wuyi was a little embarrassed.
"Could it be that Boss Xue doesn't have anyone who can weave cloth yet?" Liu Meiniang used a trick to agitate the method.
"No, no, no, that's not it, it's just that I'm afraid that my men can't weave such a cloth." Xue Wuyi's fan scratched the cloth. He could see at a glance that people who could weave such cloth were rare in Qingshi County, at least in Qingshi County, even if he was the best weaver girl under his hand, it was estimated that it was still a little hot in comparison.
"Don't worry about this Boss Xue, I'll solve this problem." When Liu Meiniang came, she had already thought that as long as Xue Wuyi was willing to send someone here, Zhang Li and Aunt Li would not have to work hard to weave, but instead guide others to weave.
"Okay, I agree." Xue Wuyi readily agreed.
"I still have something to cooperate with Boss Xue, I wonder if Boss Xue is interested?" As soon as these words came out, Zhang Jihan and Xue Wuyi were stunned.
Zhang Jihan was completely surprised, today they only brought cloth, where else does Liu Meiniang have anything to cooperate with?
And Xue Wuyi is interested, and the way to make a person interested is to keep hanging a person's appetite.
"What else is there for the girl?" Xue Wuyi suddenly lowered her voice, and Liu Meiniang had goosebumps all over her body when she heard it, how could she suddenly feel that this Xue Wuyi was a little greasy?
"I can also design costumes for you." Liu Meiniang said.
"Designing clothes?" Xue Wuyi repeated that it would take a little time to understand such a novel vocabulary.
"Do you have any pen and ink?" Liu Meiniang asked.
"Come on, put pen and ink." Xue Wuyi shouted loudly outside.
"Hey, wait, pluck me another goose feather if it's convenient, a little thicker." Liu Meiniang added.
Xue Wuyi waved his hand, and the green pothos who had just come in was quickly ordered to go down and prepare.
"Girl, but you want to draw?" Xue Wuyi asked.
"Hmm." Liu Meiniang took a sip of tea and nodded.
Zhang Jihan on the side always felt a little strange when he saw Liu Meiniang like this, the way Liu Meiniang and Xue Wuyi talked just now, where did she look like a mountain village girl.
And at this moment, Liu Meiniang's appearance of drinking tea is even more extravagant, although he has never seen the princess in the palace or anything like that, but he feels that a certain feeling exuded by Liu Meiniang at this time is exactly the same as the princesses in the teahouse.
If Liu Meiniang knew what Zhang Jihan was thinking, she would definitely say: This is called temperament
After all, the modern Liu Meiniang is a Master of Arts, and when she decided to study for a PhD, she found out that she was terminally ill. She has liked those since she was a child, and her family also supports them, so she has cultivated Liu Meiniang at any expense, so Liu Meiniang has basically been involved in any qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, six arts, four books and five classics.
Especially in order to improve her literacy, Liu Meiniang worked calligraphy, and even her old man who was a master supervisor was amazed.
