Chapter 16: Visiting the East Market

With the support of Cheap Niang, the first step of Shen Lingxi's money-making plan was successfully completed, if she was asked to choose between working hard to earn money and practicing hard, she would not hesitate to choose to work hard to earn money, at least she learned this in her previous life, it was better than a cultivation that she didn't know anything about.

I slept happily, and the next day Shen Yun'er came to knock on Shen Lingxi's door, yesterday I said that I would go to the East Market together today, and the little girl specially asked her father for a hundred taels of silver, carrying a full money bag, and the little girl jumped up and down to find Shen Lingxi.

"Brother Lingxi, okay, no. Hurry up, hurry up, the carriage is ready, let's go to the East Market today. Yun'er has money, oh, buy gifts for Brother Lingxi. ”

Shen Yun'er showed the Qi Gathering Pill given by Lingxi to her father Shen Aofeng last night, and with an attitude of courtesy, Shen Aofeng gave Yun'er a hundred taels of silver to buy something, which was regarded as a return gift to Shen Lingxi for giving her daughter the Qi Gathering Pill.

Shen Lingxi knew that Yun'er would come to her today, and she also planned to go to Dongshi today to see the medicinal herb shop that already belonged to her, so she washed up and went out with Yun'er.

Riding the carriage to Dongshi, Shen Lingxi lifted the curtain of the carriage, and saw that the commercial atmosphere on the street was very strong, and the flow of people was significantly greater than that in other parts of Runan City. Nodding with satisfaction, Shen Lingxi felt that the location of his medicinal herb shop should not be bad, so this shop would be worth a lot of money.

"Yun'er, let's go have some breakfast first, and then you accompany me to walk around, Brother Lingxi is going to see the market today. Shen Lingxi pulled Yun'er out of the carriage with a serious face, and walked to a stall selling steamed buns and sat down.

The carriage was waiting at the gate of the East Market, Shen Lingxi and Yun'er ordered a basket of steamed buns to eat slowly, and while eating Shen Lingxi, they observed the merchants coming and going.

"This eastern market is really lively, it seems that there are merchants from other countries, those animal skins look shiny, I don't know what kind of animal fur. Shen Lingxi ate two buns and turned his head to chat with Yun'er.

"Yes, Brother Lingxi hasn't had time to come to this East Market for so long, and we are usually too busy studying, in fact, Yun'er hasn't been here for a long time!" Shen Yun'er has long wanted to come to East Market, but unfortunately she is too young, and she usually stays in the school, and today she finally found an excuse to fulfill her wish.

After breakfast, Shen Lingxi took Shen Yun'er's little hand and walked all the way, what jewelry stalls, weapons stalls, medicinal material stalls, in general, things that are not of grade are all sold on the stalls, and the prices are also very different, some things are not very good at first glance, but the boss asks for a very high price.

Shen Lingxi saw a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar, wanting to buy two taels of rain flowers and plants, the boss said that this rain flowers and plants were of the sixth grade, and they would be sold for ten taels of silver and one tael, but the scholar said that this was obviously a seventh-class one, and it was worth five taels of silver at most.

The feeling to Shen Lingxi is that the grade of this item is really difficult for non-professionals to distinguish, and if the grade is a little different, the price is much different, which brings a lot of trouble to both sides of the transaction. Of course, there are also those who deceive customers for huge profits, and the boss picks up cheap ones.

I went to a few larger shops, and in these well-decorated shops, the prices of the items were much better, but Shen Lingxi noticed that the things in the shops were obviously expensive, and the same things were three to fifty percent more expensive than those on the stalls outside.

From the relatively deserted business in the store, we can know that most customers still like to go to the stalls to buy cheaper, even if it is possible to buy shoddy, but no one wants to be so clearly cheated three to fifty percent of the money.

Shen Yun'er went all the way to buy all the way, mainly some delicious, fun, and good-looking, and the little girl already had a tendency to be a shopaholic at such a young age.

At this time, Yun'er was holding a sugar gourd in her left hand, holding a pancake in her right hand, and she was eating deliciously, with a wooden doll she had just bought hanging on her arm, and a new schoolbag in the style of a bird on her back, and a full bag of bracelets, necklaces, rings, hairpins, and hairpins in the bag, all of which were worthless copper products, but the style was very good-looking.

Walking all the way, Shen Lingxi finally found his own medicinal herb shop in the back street of the East Market, the façade of this shop is not big, but there are still a lot of people coming and going, but they don't stop to go in to buy things, and some of them go in and take a look and come out quickly.

Shen Lingxi stepped into the store a little depressed, walked into the store, and only saw a gray-haired shopkeeper playing listlessly with his abacus. Knowing that there are customers who enter the door and don't look up, I take care of myself and say "see for yourself, say if you are satisfied" This attitude is really not good.

"Ahem, hey, is it the shopkeeper of Qin?" Shen Lingxi shouted angrily to the shopkeeper, yesterday the cheap lady said that this medicinal herb shop was a shopkeeper surnamed Qin.

The shopkeeper saw that the person seemed to know him, so he raised his head, and when he saw that it was an eight or nine-year-old boy holding a six-year-old girl, he wanted to lose his temper and drive people away, but as soon as the angry expression on his face appeared, he suddenly thought of something, and immediately put a flattering smile on his face.

"May I ask this young master, is it our Shen family's young master Lingxi! This person next to him is not Miss Yun'er, below is the shopkeeper Qin of this medicinal herb shop, I heard that Mrs. sent someone to say, and in the future, the little old man will obey the orders of Young Master Lingxi. Hey hey ......"

Shen Lingxi saw that this old man was a master of changing faces, and said with some residual anger: "It's this son, since my mother has already sent someone to say it, then from today on, your store will be my Shen Lingxi's." ”

After a pause, Shen Lingxi thought about the three fires of the new official, how to burn the first fire first!

"Shopkeeper Qin, I don't think the business in this store is very good. You also have a problem with your attitude towards customers, and you are a waste of such a good location in this store!" Shen Lingxi deliberately began to beat angrily.

Hearing that Young Master Lingxi was dissatisfied with himself, Shopkeeper Qin hurriedly walked out of the counter, the cold sweat on his back was scared, he couldn't lose this job, so he said tremblingly: "Young Master Lingxi, it's not that the little old man doesn't care, it's that the shop is basically a backlog of medicinal materials for many years, because the funds can't be returned, so there is no extra money to buy new goods, so the business is getting worse and worse." Alas, dissatisfied with the young master, Mrs. has not come back all these years, she has been trying her best to support until now, and the little old man is also very anxious, now that the young master Lingxi is here, this store will be saved. ”

"I see, then you can show me the account books of these years. Shen Lingxi originally wanted to take this Qin shopkeeper under the knife, but it seemed understandable to hear him say this, and after so many years, the cheap lady didn't care, and if she didn't close the door, it could be regarded as the loyalty of this Qin shopkeeper.

Thinking of this, Lingxi felt that this Qin shopkeeper could still continue to stay and use it, after all, a good subordinate not to mention ability, this loyalty is very rare.
