Tao Xi enthusiastically opened the cloth bag, revealing the fragrant dried fruits inside, which were beautiful and delicate, and they were handled very well at a glance.

She took a piece of it with a clip and handed it to the other party, "Big brother, this dried fruit was bought by my relatives from a place further south.

It's fragrant, soft, and delicious, can you try it? ”

The steward twisted the dried peach and put it in his mouth, and when he bit it gently, his lips and teeth were immediately fragrant, and the taste was particularly good.

Seeing that he showed a satisfied look, Tao Xi was slightly proud, this is a space product, how bad can the taste be?

If someone really looks down on it, it's really illiterate.

"What else to do but dried peaches?"

Steward Chen's bright eyes fell on the other cloth bag on the ox cart, and Tao Xi opened the cloth bag, revealing dried bananas and dried sweet potatoes.

"Dried bananas are also very rare, and as for dried sweet potatoes, give them a taste for children."

The steward tasted them one by one, and he was very satisfied with the taste, so he waved his hand and said:

"How do you sell this, do you still have stock at home? I'm going to do it all! ”

"Dried sweet potatoes are cheaper, ten cents a catty, as for dried peaches and dried bananas, it will be more expensive, twenty cents a catty."

This is Tao Xi's careful consideration, the families who can eat these things are not poor, and she can't sell them too cheaply.

The exception is sweet potatoes, which they also produce here.

"We don't produce bananas here, so it's really not expensive to sell them at this price."

The steward nodded, and then introduced: "My surname is Gu, and I am the steward of the Gu firm, and I want to talk to you about whether this dried fruit can be sold to our firm in the future." ”

"Hello Steward."

Tao Xi's eyes lit up, his surname was Gu, and it was very likely that he was someone under Gu Yan, but she didn't mention it.

Instead, he said: "There is not much left in the house, if you need to take care of things, I am afraid that you will have to wait, and my relative will bring some next time he comes back." ”

"Then sell me the rest of your life!"

Steward Gu wanted to ask where he bought the dried fruit, but he was a businessman, so he understood that even if he asked, the other party would not necessarily tell him.

The two soon talked about cooperation, probably because Steward Gu was happy, and even the remaining grain in Taoxi was accepted.

An oxcart sold for a total of fifteen taels of silver, which was a good harvest for Tao Xi.

Thinking of the dried fruits in the space, Tao Xi was extremely excited, for fear of arousing suspicion, she didn't dare to take out too much at a time.

But something in my head took shape.

Steward Gu took Tao Xi to Gu's firm, unloaded all the goods, and said to Tao Xi:

"If you still have the goods in the future, send them to me directly."

"Thank you, butler!"

Tao Xi looked at the Gu family firm in front of him, there were quite a lot of things sold in it, and there were a lot of dazzling dishes, which was a bit like the current supermarket.

Steward Gu smiled and said to Tao Xi: "The little lady comes to our shop to buy things, and I will give you a cheap price." ”

After speaking, he explained to the guy in the store again, and the guy quickly responded enthusiastically.

"Thank you, Steward."

Tao Xi was happy in her heart, Gu's firm sold a lot of things and daily necessities, she casually picked up the cloth shoes sold in front of her and said to the guy:

"I'm going to buy a few pairs of shoes."

It happened that Huahua needed to buy shoes, so she bought two pairs of shoes for her family, and the guy was very enthusiastic to give her a discount of 10%.

She put her shoes in the back basket behind her, and looked at the shop next door a little distracted, "Gu Steward, why haven't the shops next to me opened?" ”

"Alas, that is the Chen family's shop, the Chen family's master died violently in winter, and several children in his family are incapable.

This shop will not be operated if it is kept, isn't it thinking about selling, but it has just experienced a catastrophe, who has this spare money in their hands? ”

He has already reported it to his master, and he doesn't know if his master has any plans to buy it.

Tao Xi's eyes lit up slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Does Steward Gu know the approximate price of this shop?" ”

Steward Gu looked at Tao Xi in surprise, "Could it be that the little lady wants to buy it?" ”

Tao Xi smiled and said nothing, and Steward Gu had a bottom in his heart, so he said:

"It also depends on the shop, which is usually about sixty or seventy taels for the larger ones and forty or fifty taels for the smaller ones.

But now that the disaster year has just passed, no one will buy it if it is so expensive, I heard yesterday that it is fifty percent cheaper! ”

Fifty percent cheaper!

In other words, the shop next to it only costs twenty or thirty taels, and the larger one is only forty or fifty taels?

Thinking about the gold and silver ingots piled up in her space, Tao Xi was not moved by the fake, she suppressed the corners of her lips that rose wildly, and whispered to Steward Gu:

"I really want to buy a shop or two, can I know someone from the Chen family?"

"Know, of course, I asked someone to call the Chen family steward over."

After Steward Gu finished speaking, he ordered the guy next to him to call someone, and after a while, a steward came out of the Chen family, and that person was about the same age as Steward Gu, with a sad face, and it was a woman.

At this time, there was no smile on her face, like a frosted eggplant, originally someone from the Gu family said that someone bought her owner's shop, and she had hope in her heart.

As a result, as soon as I saw Tao Xi, my heart was half cold, and the coarse linen clothes that this little lady was wearing, although she looked very good, she didn't look very rich.

"Is this the little lady who wants to buy a shop?"

"Yes."

Tao Xi looked at the empty shops with sparkling eyes, with a smile in his eyebrows.

"Steward Chen, may I ask how many empty shops are there in Chen's Mansion now?"

"A dozen of them."

Steward Chen sighed, he couldn't lift his spirits, but Steward Gu couldn't help but mention it.

"Steward Chen, don't judge people by their appearance."

Steward Gu's words made Steward Chen's face flash a little uncomfortable, and she smiled wryly:

"It's not that I don't trust the little lady, but there are a lot of people who have asked about the Chen family's shop recently, but no one has decided to buy it."

In fact, Steward Chen knew very well that the rich people who could afford it at this time wanted to deliberately watch her owner's good show.

So even if you can afford it, try your best to drag it out, and then you can push the price down again.

But this shop has been priced down to the extreme, and if it continues like this, the owner is afraid that he will lose so much that he will not even have pants left.

Tao Xi thanked Steward Gu, and then said to Steward Chen: "You tell me the location of each shop in detail, and let's talk in detail." ”

"Huh, good!"

Steward Chen took Tao Xi into the shop next door, this is a cloth village, it is not open today, and there are some leftovers in the shop.

Steward Chen was embarrassed, "Just after the disaster year, our Chen family doesn't have a caravan like the Gu family, so we didn't have time to distribute the goods." ”

Her owner is in a hurry to sell the shop now, where will she take care of this.

"I understand."

Tao Xi smiled friendlyly, and as Steward Chen went up to the second floor, Steward Chen sighed.

"Since the beginning of the drought, the Chen family has gradually declined, and the food in the grain store has been robbed by refugees.

Later, there was a snow disaster, and the young master didn't sell the shop anymore, so he really didn't have the money to go to Beijing to take the exam! ”

The young master of the Chen family is also a showman, and he is famous in this Yun County.
