The two brothers thought about the gains and losses, and they couldn't calm down for a while, so they only looked at the shopkeeper, "Shop, are we doing well in this tea wholesale business?" Do you have a lot of customers? ”

The shopkeeper smiled, "I'm afraid the guests are coming from afar, our grocery store has just opened, and you are still the first batch of tea customers in our store!" ”

The two brothers have a little peace of mind, that's good, that's good.

The shopkeeper saw that the guest's face improved, and he also took the initiative to sell other goods, "Guest officer, you see, we not only have silk and tea from the south of the Yangtze River here, but also gems and furs from the Western Regions, as well as our local specialty wool thread and glass, everything, whatever you want to see, I will bring it to you." ”

The brothers came back to their senses, their original intention was to see the glass, but what is the wool thread? Wool threads? How do you feel about going out, there are so many new things in Yongzhou that they have never seen.

"Then let's take a look at the glass and wool thread."

Qiao Shengli said.

The shopkeeper smiled, all the merchants who came were interested in the glass and wool thread, and did not delay at the moment, directly took out a roll of red wool thread and a piece of colorful glass and transparent glass, and handed it to the guest.

"Guest officer, you see, this is a specialty of our Jincheng, and there is no place next to it. This wool thread can be woven into clothes, light and warm, more rare than silk, there are some glass, transparent glass can be used as doors and windows, who is built on the doors and windows of the house with glass, that is a great creation, you know, this glass in the previous dynasty is the royal special! There is also this five-color glaze, which is more precious, that is, the noble family can use it, but our five-color glaze is made of vase, if the guest officer likes it, you can ask one to go home and put it on top of the Ming Hall, which can also decorate the façade. ”

Qiao Shengli gently stroked the soft and skin-friendly wool thread, he never dreamed that there would be such a soft thread, how comfortable it would be to weave such thread into clothes? Didn't you pierce the clouds of the sky through your body?

There are also some colored glass, which is also ingenious, a masterpiece of creation, thin, transparent and good-looking, and so hard, it is simply a good building material, ordinary people can't afford it, but the giant rich families over there in the south of the Yangtze River can definitely afford it.

Qiao Shengli's mind moved suddenly, patted off his younger brother's frizzy and rough hand that touched the wool thread, and looked at the shopkeeper, "You said this is a Jincheng specialty?" ”

The shopkeeper nodded, "Indeed, only Jincheng has it at present." ”

"For now?"

Qiao Shengli grabbed the key word.

The shopkeeper's explanation, "This glass is specially made by Jincheng Huofu, and it is not available elsewhere, so this can be guaranteed below." But the weaving of wool thread has been passed on by Lu Zhizhou. Lu Zhizhou's book is to let our people in Yongzhou be self-reliant, hard work and get rich, therefore, this year's wool is unique to Jincheng. After next year, there may be other wool thread merchants in Tianshui Zhangye. ”

When Qiao Shengli heard this, his face turned solemn, "It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish." Lu Zhizhou is benevolent and righteous, and in order to rule the people, he actually passed on such a way of making money, and he is really a model for us and other great cadres. ”

The shopkeeper also nodded in agreement, "Who said it wasn't?" There is a recipe for this woolen thread, and this business is a profitable business, but our wife doesn't care about it, and passes on this gold recipe. ”

"Ma'am? Who are you? ”

The shopkeeper stroked his beard reservedly, "Lord Lu is the wife of General Huo, and she is also the housewife of our Huo family. ”

Qiao Shengli suddenly realized, "It turned out to be Lord Lu, the God of Wealth." I heard that Mr. Lu was born in the grass field and worked hard all the way, not only did he become famous and rich, but also opened up the north-south trade route of Daqian. Now that Lord Lu has come to our Yongzhou, presumably the trade route between Yongzhou and the East will soon be smooth, and when the time comes, I will wait for the small people, so we don't have to go thousands of miles to Jiangnan to buy goods, but you can purchase Jiangnan goods in Jincheng, and the price is very fair. ”

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded, "What you said is very accurate. As a parent official, we Lu Daren naturally want to make some contributions to Yongzhou, rather than a corpse vegetarian meal. This year is just the beginning, next year the east-west trade route will be unimpeded, and you will come again, presumably not only here will be more complete in terms of goods, but also more merchants. ”

Qiao Jiayi couldn't understand what Qiao Shengli said to the shopkeeper, but he understood that it was the little god of wealth who came to Yongzhou, and this brought the goods and glass from the east and west, as well as wool thread that was softer than the baby's buttocks.

"Big brother, when we come out, my sister-in-law has good news, and when we go home, my little nephew will definitely be born. Let's buy some woolen thread and go back, and let my mother make small clothes for my little nephew! ”

Qiao Jiayi's eyes were bright, and he couldn't pull out the red wool thread.

Qiao Shengli waved his hand, "He's a child, with this good thing, he doesn't have to break his blessing." Shopkeeper, how much is this colorless glass, I am shy in my bag, I can't buy too much, I just want to buy a few small ones, and press them for my parents. ”

The shopkeeper's hand, "The guest officer is really a filial son." This colorless glass like this one-foot square small piece is 300 yuan a piece, if it is a large one-foot square size, it needs a hundred taels of silver. ”

"What? So much worse? ”

Qiao Jiayi exclaimed. The small pieces of colorless glass were much cheaper than he imagined, but the large ones were much more expensive than he imagined.

The shopkeeper explained, "The difficulty of the process is different. Small pieces are easy to obtain, but big ones are hard to come by. ”

"What about this colored glass?"

Qiao Jiayi asked.

"Colored glass, a big palm in your hand, the price is ten taels, if you buy finished glass, it will cost hundreds of taels. If you value our five-color glass top, you can also customize. However, this glass roof, any one, will require thousands of taels. ”

After listening to the price, Qiao Jiayi was satisfied. He couldn't afford it in the first place, and after listening to the price, he was naturally dead.

"I wonder if it would be cheaper if it was wholesale? I mean the wool thread and the glass. ”

Qiao Shengli's brain turned quickly, this woolen thread and glass are not sold at all in the rich Jiangnan and Kyoto, and this kind of valuable, good thing that can show his identity, if he brings it from Jincheng, he must have a higher level of contact. At that time, he will not be a bitter businessman, but can become a big businessman he yearns for with glass and wool thread.

The shopkeeper's hand, "Mr. is extraordinary, our lady said, if you are interested in wholesale, go up to the third floor to discuss in detail." ”

The Qiao brothers went from the first floor, to the second floor, and now to the third floor under the glazed roof, here, Xiaoqiu, who had been waiting for a long time, was waiting for the arrival of many people who might become the Huo family's merchants.

"Woman?"

Qiao Jiayi muttered in a low voice, Qiao Shengli's face remained unchanged, and he stepped forward to salute, "I've seen this young lady." ”

Xiaoqiu waved his hand, "No need to be polite, I am the person in charge of the Huojia Jincheng grocery store, you should be interested in glass and wool thread, can you tell me how you plan to open up sales?" ”
