Chapter 281: Visiting the store and meeting foreigners
The carriage walked leisurely on the road, and the people in the alley automatically avoided it when they saw it.
"Mother, why doesn't that coachman have a whip in his hand? Is the horse still obedient? A child who was less than three feet old pointed to Yan Qing and asked the elders beside her.
"Because the horses are well trained, they don't need to be spurred to complete the task."
"Oh." The child didn't seem to understand, and a pair of big eyes were still staring at Yan Qing. The woman who was next to her quickly carried the little girl and walked to the side of the steps.
Whose carriage is this, the coachman does not even take a whip, in case the horse is stimulated and goes crazy, will it not harm others and himself?
"In the future, let's take a whip and make a show, when people see it, they think that you don't care about the horse, and you are going to drive and hit people." Li Qing laughed in the carriage. Yan Qing's expressionless face showed a slight crack, why did he want to beat his little friend Gray Horse? The whip was imposed on the horse by man, and it was not the horse's intention at all.
After not hearing Yan Qing's answer for a long time, Li Qing only thought that he didn't listen, and then said: "If you eat in the world, you have to look like a person, you have become an outlier among thousands of people, and it will only harm him, just imagine, if someone knows the special place of this horse, can we still keep it?" ”
"You have a point." Yan Qing asked the gray horse to stop, ran to the edge of the hibiscus bush planted by the roadside, folded a hibiscus strip, and held it in his hand.
Sheng Jinghong's business name is naturally named after Sheng Jinghong. Li Qing stepped on the bench and got out of the carriage, Yan Qing went to park the carriage, and she stood alone at the door of the shop.
The East Market of Suzaku Street is a favorite place for merchants from both the north and the south, and there are also a large number of foreign merchants, including Persian, Arab, and some merchants from the Western Regions, whose facial features and clothing are easy to distinguish.
Li Qing saw that there were people coming and going, and couldn't help but nodded, it was inevitable that his own shop would make money.
Not to mention the business concept and product quality, let's just say that the store decoration and service are attentive, and the guys inside must have a clean family background and special training before taking up their posts.
Sheng Jinghong's first principle is that you can't judge people, and everyone must be kind and pleasant.
Based on this alone, Sheng Jinghong has won the hearts of most customers.
But now it seems to be in trouble.
Li Qing walked inside.
A curly-haired young man with deep facial features on his hat was holding a piece of silk on his arm, and was trying to gesture to the shopkeeper next to him.
"Hey, this son, what are you talking about that the old man doesn't understand, and the old man doesn't know what you're doing?" The shopkeeper was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and the foreign man grabbed his fine fabric and didn't let go. Seeing that he couldn't solve it, the shopkeeper immediately asked the people around him for help, and said, "Can the big guy help the old man listen to what this son has expressed?" ”
Whether it was customers or people watching the excitement, they shook their heads and retreated, indicating that they didn't know.
"Hey, shopkeeper, does he want to know the price of this cloth?" Someone speculated.
The foreign man shook his head and said another series of words, which roughly meant that the people around him understood that he was not asking about the price. So what exactly is he asking?
"He's asking if the shopkeeper has any inventory of this fabric." Li Qing stepped into the door and said as he walked.
The foreign man nodded, as if he had found a savior, and hugged Li Qing. Li Qing automatically took a step back and stopped his actions.
"Remember to bring a translator with you the next time you go out." Li Qing said this sentence in Chinese. She wondered, this person understands Chinese, why can't he speak Chinese?
The foreign man withdrew his hand stupidly, handed the cloth in his hand to the shopkeeper, and then said to Li Qing: "Tianqi knows few foreign languages, I haven't found it for a long time, I didn't expect this lady to be, can I ask you to be my translator?" ”
"I can't." Li Qing said.
The people around are in the clouds, what do these two people say?
"Oh, okay then." The foreign man was instantly lost.
"But I'll help you this time." Li Qing said again.
This man spoke Old English, and Li Qing finally guessed what he meant. She almost used up her strength, and this man still wants her to be a translator, doesn't he want her life?
Shake your head.
Don't do it, resolutely don't do it.
"Okay, my name is Amohan, it's nice to meet you, I'm a Persian merchant and need a batch of silk, it is rumored that the imperial capital has a cheap price of silk, so I came to the imperial capital and prepared to buy a batch of silk to sell back." Amohan was full of excitement, but unfortunately in Li Qing's eyes, this was a typical wronged boss, and he didn't know that he had been deceived.
Of course, Li Qing would not remind him, after all, he bought his own things, and the more wronged people like this, the better.
The shopkeeper came over and said to Li Qing cautiously: "May I ask this lady, does this mean that Gongzi really wants to buy a large number of goods?" ”
"Yes, take him to the inner room and we will negotiate to see how much he can eat, so that we can send a message to prepare." Li Qing said to the shopkeeper.
"Really?" The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and immediately made a gesture of invitation, not thinking much about what was revealed in Li Qing's words.
Li Qing really doubted how this old man sat in the position of the shopkeeper, and he had no anti-reconnaissance ability at all.
The shopkeeper immediately ordered his men to watch the store, and the people around him dispersed, this kind of thing is also new for a while, as for how many people remember Li Qing's appearance, I don't know.
This time she came out without a hat, exposing her face that could not be eroded by the years in front of everyone.
"How much can you eat?" Entering the inner room, Li Qing immediately stepped into the main topic and did not give Amohan the slightest time to talk nonsense.
Amohan was astonished that the lady was so beautiful that she never forgot her face. Whether it is from the appearance or temperament, it can be judged that it is a typical oriental beauty. But people say that Oriental beauties have graceful beauty and are very restrained. But why did he see it as a personality trait?
However, when it comes to business issues, Amohan is always rational and cold on the surface.
"I think the gold I brought with me could buy half a boat, about a thousand." Amohan gave Li Qing a number after estimating. They had to buy other things besides silk, so they could only hold a thousand horses.
He had three large ships, and the rest of the space was to accommodate porcelain, other handicrafts, and the money from the sale of spices brought this time, he was ready to buy all the goods, and transport them back to China to sell to the nobles, making more money than in Tianqi.
"Okay." Li Qing asked the shopkeeper to fetch the paper, and they wanted to write the contract.
The shopkeeper saw that there was really a play, so he went to the study room Four Treasures.
Hey, no, why does this woman look like an owner?
