Chapter 5 Selling Goods in the Upper City
"The poor can't have enough to eat, so they can only go to the city and sell it to the rich, but the rich people's money is not so easy to earn."
"Our toothbrush is poorly made, there is no style and pattern, and we can't eat or drink, and the rich may not buy it, and even if someone buys it, the price can't sell much."
After listening to Zhou Qi's words, Su Ling nodded very reasonably, and was silent for a while before speaking: "Lang Jun, why don't you find my father?" Let him buy them all and ......"
Zhou Qi was happy after hearing this, gently scratched her nose, and said with a smile: "How can a son-in-law go to the old man to sell things, don't worry, I have my own plans." ”
And Su Ling was scratched by him like this, and his cheeks instantly turned red with shame, and he stopped talking to Zhou Qi, and continued to sew.
By the time the mane ran out, they had made seven toothbrushes.
But Zhou Qi said confidently: "Enough, let's keep three for our own use, and I'll bring four for it." ”
Put the toothbrush into the cloth bag, the two talked again, and Zhou Qi went out.
The village is not close to the county seat, and if you walk, it will take you more than half a day.
Fortunately, there was an ox cart in their village to enter the city, but it cost a little silver, and it was not expensive, two cents a head, and when the cart was almost full, the ox cart departed.
Two pennies, Zhou Qi's family still has it......
It's noon now, and there aren't many people entering the city, so Zhou Qi is in a hurry, although there is not a full cart of people, but the ox cart wants to go to the city to pick up the people back to the village, so he also set off.
The scenery along the road is not good, just in March, the fields have not been planted with rice, only a few scattered farmers, wielding hoes to turn the ground.
Zhou Qi has been busy for most of the day, and he is a little sleepy when he stops.
He wanted to sleep directly, but the road was not easy, the ox cart was upside down, and his stomach was already overflowing.
Finally managed to get to the county seat, Zhou Qi hurriedly jumped out of the car, shrunk under the tree and retched for a while before relieving himself.
This county is called Jinfeng County, it is said that because during the rebellion, the emperor Lao'er had escaped on a mountain peak in the county, and when the rebels were about to find him, a golden light protected him, which lasted until the arrival of reinforcements, and the emperor was saved, so he gave his name.
……
Zhou Qi first took a short walk in the county, and finally stopped at the mouth of an alley, looking at the guests coming in and out of the wine pavilion opposite for a while.
The county seat is different from the village, most of the cities are merchants, and the economy is naturally better, and the rich families will send their sons to study and gain fame in order to avoid forced labor.
The wine pavilion opposite is actually a gathering place for those who read.
said that they were scholars, but they were actually a group of rich children.
Today, there happened to be a Liu Xiucai holding a poetry meeting in that wine pavilion.
This Liu Xiucai is amazing, hold a poetry meeting, you need to have a famous post to participate, and the famous post, five taels of silver for one, there are only five places each time.
In this way, there are more and more people participating in the poetry meeting, and many people want to change their heads to a famous post, and there are many people who fight for it.
This is all thanks to Liu Xiucai, who has only produced a talent in this county for ten years, and is the son of the government and county order, and the rich sons of the county are eager to come to the knot.
"You can rob it, but you have to hold a poetry party, it's a pity not to be a robber......"
Zhou Qi thought about it in his heart, and after confirming his thoughts, he went to a shop called "Strange Goods House" next to the wine pavilion.
As soon as he stepped into the shop, a small guy greeted him, and after seeing the person clearly, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he waved his hand impatiently.
"Go, go, ask for food and squat at the opposite alley, don't delay my business!"
"Who said I wanted food?" Zhou Qi glanced at the little guy and secretly complained, how can he open the door to do business with this attitude, just close the door as soon as possible.
When the little guy heard this, he looked Zhou Qi up and down again, and the coarse cotton clothes covered with patches looked like a begging for food.
"What are you doing if you don't want to eat, don't say you come to buy things, the cheapest things here cost 500 Wen, do you have them?"
"Tell your shopkeepers to come out, I have something to sell." Zhou Qi said expressionlessly.
"Selling something?"
The little guy was stunned for a moment, but there were also people in their shop who came to sell things, and some of them were poor and picked up treasures, so they would sell them to their shop, and then they would sell them in their shop.
But this probability is too low, and not there are treasures to pick up everywhere.
"What's that? You bring it to me first, and then I will call you the shopkeeper when it is suitable. ”
"I can't tell you!" Zhou Qi was a little impatient, and went directly around the little guy and went inside.
"Eh, you're ......"
At this time, there were not many customers in the shop, and they were all attracted by the voice of the little maid, and turned to point at Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi ignored those gazes, walked straight to the counter, and said to a middle-aged man in his thirties: "Are you the shopkeeper?" ”
"Shopkeeper, this person said he wanted to sell something, but he couldn't stop it......"
The little guy caught up in the back, afraid that he would be punished by the shopkeeper if he didn't do it well for a while, so he hurriedly explained.
The shopkeeper waved his hand, sent the little guy away, squinted at Zhou Qi with a pair of triangular eyes, and asked, "What do you have to sell?" ”
"Can't you take this thing?" Zhou Qi took out the toothbrush in the cloth bag and put it on the countertop.
The shopkeeper picked up the toothbrush and looked at it for a while.
"Bamboo chips, pig hair, rough workmanship, do not collect."
"What if I can sell it for four taels of silver?"
When the words fell, the shopkeeper laughed and mocked: "Boy, you haven't woken up from your dream yet, have you?" ”
"I have read countless goods, if this thing can be sold for four taels of silver, my name will be written upside down for you!"
The corner of Zhou Qi's mouth hooked up a smile, and he said calmly: "No need, it's just that if I sell it for four taels of silver, you can only take thirty percent." ”
The shopkeeper thought for a while, and when he saw his confident appearance, he said, "Okay, I'll see what tricks you have." ”
"Can you have pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?" Zhou Qi asked.
The shopkeeper called the servant to bring the things over, and stood aside to watch.
He is confident that this thing will never sell at a high price, but if he really sells it, he will have a chance to win, so why not?
I saw Zhou Qi unfold the white paper, pick up the brush and write down a row of large characters.
"A toothbrush, two rows of teeth, three meals and four seasons, all five flavors, solve."
After writing, Zhou Qi put down the pen and said to the shopkeeper: "I'm bothering your little servant to hang it at the door." ”
The shopkeeper didn't know why, but he did as he said.
Zhou Qi naturally found a chair to sit down first, made himself a pot of tea, and took a sip of tea before saying, "Let's just wait." ”
Half a moment later, there were some people crowded at the door of the strange goods house.
There was a noise at the door.
Some people are asking, what is a toothbrush?
There are also people who are thinking about something......
At this time, Liu Xiucai and others, who were chatting in the wine pavilion, also rushed over when they heard the news.
