Chapter 21: The First Big Deal
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive." As she spoke, Mu Tianxiang stretched out three fingers.
The shopkeeper looked at it and gasped, three ...... Three taels of silver? Who else in the town can afford this thing except for those few rich people?
The shopkeeper shook his head, "This young lady, your thing is good, but it's a pity that the temple in this town is too small, if you are willing to go farther, to the capital, I am willing to give you guidance and guide you to sell it at a good price, here...... I'm afraid not many can afford to buy it. β
Mu Tianxiang sneered, "Shopkeeper, where do you want to go, I'm talking about Sanwen!" β
"Sanwen...... Are you sure it's Sanwen? Isn't it three or two? The shopkeeper looked at her incredulously.
Mu Tianxiang began to think, could it be that the price she said was too low? The shopkeeper said three taels, so does she have to raise the price, at least thirty wen or something, no, no, Mu Tianxiang shook her head, small profits but quick turnover, what she wants is to turn matches into people's daily consumables, but not to treat it as a plaything, if it is sold for thirty wen, everyone will definitely not use it casually, but it is out of her original will, besides, matches are not expensive in the first place.
She nodded emphatically, "Yes, the shopkeeper, it's Sanwen, this thing doesn't cost anything, and it's very large, my master's purpose is to see that the flint and steel used now is too hard, and it takes half an hour to beat the fire, so he specially developed this, if I sell it at a high price behind his back, he will be unhappy." β
The shopkeeper nodded again and again, and said in a loud voice, yes, yes, and was asked, "I don't know how many matches the girl has, and on which mountain, I'll let the guy go with you and get them." β
His question made Mu Tianxiang difficult, originally those small things were taken out and carried with him, but these things were taken out to find a place to put them, if they were ...... It would be nice to have a house, in this different world, Mu Tianxiang wanted to have a home of her own for the first time.
After thinking about it, Mu Tianxiang said, "I came down from the mountain, and there were originally two junior brothers who came carrying things, but they were too old and playful, so they went shopping, and the things were put in an abandoned house not far away, you let the guy go with me to get them." β
The shopkeeper did not doubt him, and chose two strong guys to follow Mu Tianxiang.
Mu Tianxiang took them around and around to the abandoned room where they changed clothes in the morning.
"Little brother, wait a minute, I have to go in and collect some things."
Saying that, Mu Tianxiang came to the house and pretended to rummage for a while, this house was like a huge garbage dump, there was everything, Mu Tianxiang looked at the two guys outside and laughed around Erya, she quickly opened Taobao and bought 5,000 boxes of matches of good quality, which cost about 1,000 yuan, and 200 scissors of all sizes, which cost about 1,000 yuan, 20 glasses, about 2,000 yuan, and wholesaled various hair rings, which cost 1,000 yuan, so that more than half of the money in Alipay was spent, Fortunately, there have been some incomes in the past two days.
"Erya, bring the two little brothers in and move things."
"Okay." Erya led the two of them to pick up the goods, and then went back to the grocery store.
The shopkeeper was already waiting outside the door, and when he saw that Mu Tianxiang really didn't break his promise, he breathed a sigh of relief, matches are a good thing, and they will definitely make him a lot of money.
"Shopkeeper, in addition to matches, I also brought you some others, you can see if you are satisfied, if not, I will take it back."
According to the price given by Mu Tianxiang, the shopkeeper paid happily, and then instructed that next time there is anything new, he must first follow his store, and make an appointment to deliver it again in two months.
Mu Tianxiang happily agreed, and checked the silver taels in her hand, which was as much as forty taels, if she continued to earn like this, it would not take her a year to secretly buy a small house in the town.
When the two of them walked away, Erya danced happily, this is forty taels of silver, she has never seen it, and this silver is still earned by her own hands.
Mu Tianxiang nodded her forehead and said, "Out of the breath~ In the future, my sister will take you to earn more silver!" β
Erya nodded desperately.
The two circled around the alley many times, and after confirming that there was no one following behind them, they found a remote restaurant and entered the private room and ordered a large table of dishes, Mu Tianxiang asked for a pot of sake by the way, and the second girl ate very happily, Mu Tianxiang was used to eating the food with sufficient ingredients in the previous life and did not think it was very delicious, but she was very happy to eat meat, she only tasted the wine in the pot and put it down, as if the water was mixed with a little alcohol, and the bird came out, Mu Tianxiang felt that if she could cooperate with the restaurant to sell wine, it was a pityβ¦β¦ Nothing can be achieved without freedom now.
The two of them ate and drank enough, but it cost half a tael of silver, and on the way back, when they saw the hairpin last time, Mu Tianxiang stepped forward and asked, "How to sell this hairpin?" β
The peddler saw that the two of them were dressed quite exquisitely, so he said, "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, it's eight hundred Wen, it's most suitable for a young lady like you to bring it." β
Obviously, it was 500 Wen last time, this peddler, it is not true, Mu Tianxiang got up and was about to leave.
The peddler was anxious, "Five hundred wen, five hundred wen, miss, you can give five hundred wen." β
Mu Tianxiang stopped, "Little brother, you give me something real, I want to buy a lot." β
Although this hawker is not real, there is nothing to say about this craftsmanship, the pattern on the silver hairpin is delicate and antique, and it will definitely be sold at a good price in the store.
The peddler gritted his teeth, "Miss, if you buy twenty, I will count you for four hundred!" β
In fact, when he sold it for 400 yuan, he earned more than half of the original, but it was twenty, which was enough for him to sell for more than ten days.
"Deal!" Mu Tianxiang agreed.
Happily gave him eight taels of silver, and then carefully selected twenty.
These hairpins, she is ready to sell six hundred yuan in the store, after all, it is a silver thing, the purity is not very high, of course the price can not be marked high, if it is not for this silver hairpin is really exquisite, such a business is not very good, in ancient times the price of silver is higher than in modern times, but if these are all sold, it is 12,000, and it is also a little profitable.
Bought a silver hairpin, Mu Tianxiang was not ready to buy anything else, looking at Erya's eyes lingering on the rouge gouache on the street, I wanted to buy something for Erya, but after thinking about it, even if I bought it, it would still be snatched away by Li Chun'er, and if I didn't do it, I would expose the secret, and the gains outweighed the losses, so I had to give up.
The two of them spared a few laps, changed the clothes on their bodies, and went to the ox cart, looking at the sun, Mu Tianxiang was going to go back, earlier, she could also go to see how Aye was doing, but they took the ox cart from the next village, because Uncle Liu, who went directly to the village, must have sat on the Xie family.
