Chapter Thirty-Nine: The First Glimpse of the Ills
Wen Yue took Wen Qing and Jin Tuan to the rice shop where she asked Wen Yun for repair, and first observed at the door for a moment and did not rush in.
There was an endless stream of guests at the door, Wen Yue estimated that he had been standing for about a stick of incense and asked Wen Qing and Jin Tuan, "Do you see anything?" ”
Jin Tuan shook his head, "My subordinates are stupid, I can't see the difference." ”
Wen Yue turned to look at Wen Qing, and seeing that Wen Qing was still looking at the rice shop, Wen Yue expected that he would get something, "What about you?" ”
"The time of this rice shop's incense has never been broken, so it can be seen that this shop is very profitable, but there is a lot of room for expansion in this kind of profit estimate." Wen Qing's words said what Wen Yue was thinking, and Wen Yue looked at him with a smile.
"Go ahead and say what you think."
Although this shop is full, most of them are ordinary people, which shows that the shopkeeper who runs this shop must have a fair price to attract the surrounding neighbors to patronize, but there are few scholars who come to buy, as for what reason the subordinates have not thought of. If the granary reserves of those high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the noble clan were purchased here, the profit must be several times that of today. ”
After Wen Qing finished speaking, not only Wen Yue nodded appreciatively, but the brocade on the side was also greatly surprised, such a young man who was a fledgling could actually see through the shortcomings of a shop run by Wen Yunxiu at the beginning, and it was really a talent that could not be extinguished.
Wen Yue knocked Wen Qing's head with the folding fan in his hand, "Do you want to know why?" Then follow me. ”
As soon as Wen Yue and the three of them stepped into the shop, the shopkeeper greeted them with a smile, "May I ask how many stones of rice do you want to buy?" ”
The shopkeeper looked like he was about forty or fifty years old, and he seemed to be loyal and honest, Wen Yunxiu must be reliable in handing over the shop to such a person.
Wen Yue didn't answer, just looked at the rice displayed in the rice jar in the store, the rice is full and crystal is good, but it is not as strong and delicate as the official rice, not to mention the rice used in the palace, presumably the owner of this shop saw that the official rice was not marketable, so he purchased rice in large quantities for ordinary people.
"What if I want a hundred stone of rice?" Wen Yue looked at the shopkeeper steadily.
The shopkeeper was a little panicked, but he didn't want to lose such a large amount of business, so he was anxious to stabilize Wen Yue, "Don't worry, guest officer, the small store doesn't have so much official rice stock for the time being, do you think you can delay it for a few days?" After the shopkeeper said this, he was a little cramped and embarrassed, and there were dozens of rice shops in the imperial city, so he didn't count it in his heart to let such a distinguished guest deign to wait.
"Do you need time to get through to your master?" Wen Yue said unhurriedly.
"Guest officer...... Don't you know ......? The shopkeeper listened to Wen Yue's question, and said with a hint of suspicion.
Wen Yue nodded towards Jin Tuan, Jin Tuan took out the account book from his chest and showed it to the shopkeeper, Wen Yunxiu's original shop knew this account book, and when the shopkeeper was still surprised, Wen Yue said, "From today on, I am the owner of this shop, can you understand?" “
The shopkeeper hurriedly and respectfully said, "The little one understands, the little one understands." The shopkeeper knew that these account books would not easily fall into the hands of the people next to him, although it was a small shop, it was a big profit, and since the account books were in his hands, he knew that the store had changed hands.
"I'll put him in charge of your shop in the future." Wen Yue pushed Wen Qing behind his back.
Wen Qing arched his hand and said to the shopkeeper, "In the following Wenqing, please ask the shopkeeper for more advice in the future." ”
