The prosperity and wealth of Dongcheng District, from those luxurious buildings on both sides of the streets, you can faintly glimpse one or two, and this writing is actually just the tip of the iceberg, the ordinary monks imagine the prosperous days of Dongcheng District, limited to their own knowledge, not only not exaggerated, but even underestimated a lot.

Because of the relationship between the big battle in the Huoluo stronghold, there was a large area of fire spirit qi that skyrocketed, and Chiba City also happened to be implicated in the aftermath, making the weather that was not cool become even hotter at this time, although the nobles of Dongcheng District would not be as shirtless as the residents of Xicheng District, they were also happy to wear some wide and slender clothes.

For a time, on the bustling streets of Dongcheng District, all kinds of expensive clothes with their own summer functions showed a rare style on weekdays with the crowds coming and going.

The Castle Lord's Mansion in Chiba Castle is located in the heart of the East Castle, and around the majestic building, which never seems to collapse, is lined with shops along the nearby streets, and monks dressed in fine clothes come and go in these places as they please, which constitutes the most common daily life in the East Castle.

And among the many large merchants with strong backstage and luxurious decoration, there is a large shop specializing in selling all kinds of talismans that stands out from the crowd, surrounded by many competitors, it is enough to rank in the top ten, and it is definitely a big nobleman among the merchants.

Treasure Pavilion.

This is the name of the big shop, a seemingly ordinary and vulgar name, but because of the quality of the goods sold in the store, it seems to be coated with gold leaf, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is famous all over the city.

As soon as the guests stepped in, the first thing they saw was a hall large enough to accommodate dozens of people, and the surrounding decoration was more elegant than the endless vulgar luxury style.

In addition, the first priority of a large business must be the quality of service, even if it is a guest wearing simple clothes, as soon as you enter the hall, before entering the counter, the waiters in charge of reception on both sides will lead the way enthusiastically and modestly, and explain all kinds of freshly baked products with a faint smile, so that the guests feel at home is the only thing they face, and even beyond the desire for goods sold.

It is precisely because of this rigorous attitude that Baibaoge stands out in the competition and becomes the leading big business in Dongcheng District, and even the most picky dignitaries rarely voice their dissatisfaction.

Behind the hall is a four-storey pavilion, the third floor of which is dedicated to the business of the treasurer, because it is the first floor for receiving partners, it is impossible to lose the number of courtesies, antique tables and chairs are readily available, and even on the small table by the wall, there are incense candles that emit an intoxicating fragrance.

Just like before, the chief shopkeeper of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion was in it to receive important business partners, he was wearing a cyan gown, dressed like a scribe, with the wrinkles of his face revealing the vicissitudes of age, and at the same time he had both elegant and majestic temperament, and his eyes were bright, as if he was enough to see through the world.

"Young Master Ning, you're here. ”

The big shopkeeper squinted his eyes and wrinkled, and the smile on his face seemed to be carved out of a knife, so professional and standard, but not so stiff and detached that it didn't make people think stiff and extremely detached.

The person standing in front of the shopkeeper at this time was a young man with two whiskers on the corners of his lips, judging from his appearance alone, he seemed to be in his early twenties, but if he looked at the deliberately trimmed beard, he seemed to be able to feel the young man's capable temperament beyond his own age.

"Well, big shopkeeper, this is the goods you ordered in the Hundred Treasure Pavilion this month, please check. ”

Ning Gongzi's face was pale, as if he couldn't see the warm greeting of the big shopkeeper, and he waved his hand coldly to signal the servants behind him to carry in boxes of wooden boxes full of talismans, and then said in a rather complacent tone: "This batch of talismans refined by our Leng Feng Zhai this time has climbed to a new height in quality, and please ask the big shopkeeper that you can carefully appreciate and give a price worthy of them, then it will be in vain for our Leng Feng Zhai's careful refining." ”

"Hehe, fortunately, you Leng Feng Zhai has cooperated with Baibao Pavilion for many years, otherwise as the business grows bigger and bigger, the supply of Baibao Pavilion will be in short supply early in the morning. ”

As if he couldn't notice Ning Gongzi's arrogant attitude, the big shopkeeper was still smiling, this professional smile with his wrinkles that revealed his age, he had a sincere attitude, this is the quality of any passing shopkeeper, never angry for the slightest impoliteness, but will use four or two thousand pounds of speaking skills, and remove the smell of smoke and gunpowder between words without leaving a trace.

He lowered his head and walked around the boxes, opened the lid of the boxes and carefully rubbed the edges of the talismans inside, felt the aura flow from the subtle heat of his fingertips, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then got up and waved, motioning for the waiter standing next to him to come forward and continue the inspection.

"Ning Gongzi, this batch of goods, the price I gave after appraisal, you can see if it is suitable, if you have no opinion, then set the transaction. ”

The big shopkeeper walked back, picked up an inconspicuous white paper on the wooden table, stretched out a finger and swiped it a few times, only to see a halo of light appear on the paper, and then a series of numbers were deeply printed on it, and then he picked up a seal and stamped it, and when everything was done, he turned around and handed it to Ning Gongzi.

"Hmm. ”

The young man couldn't deny it, but he also reached out to take the contract paper handed over by the big shopkeeper, looked down, and his originally calm face suddenly changed, and then he slowly raised his head, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the big shopkeeper in front of him who was still smiling, and said coldly: "Big shopkeeper, what do you mean by this?"

"What does Ning Gongzi mean ......?"

The big shopkeeper didn't seem to understand the meaning of Ning Gongzi's words, and asked in a sincere tone.

Ning Gongzi finally put away his previous casual attitude until this moment, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "The price you gave is one percent less than last month! Are you Baibao Pavilion planning to bully customers in the store? Or are you deliberately insulting us Leng Feng Zhai?"

"Hehe, Baibao Zhai is to open the door to do business, where is the reason for the shopkeeper to bully customers? Ning Gongzi is that you have misunderstood the old decay. ”

Ignoring the dissatisfaction and annoyance in the young man's words, the big shopkeeper explained with a smile: "This ...... Ning Gongzi, you don't know that the rules of our Baibao Pavilion are to set the price by quality, and according to the agreement, if there is a competitor with higher quality, then the most preferential price will be given to the most suitable supplier. In the past, the quality of Leng Feng Zhai was indeed the highest, and there was never an opponent who could match it, but the situation has been really different recently. ”

The quiet and quiet pavilion fell into a short silence, Ning Gongzi pinched the contract paper in his hand, and faced the unfathomable gaze of the big shopkeeper, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, although the Baibao Pavilion is very powerful, but there have always been shortcomings in the supply of goods, and it is also quite dependent on the supply of cold wind Zhai's talismans, logically speaking, the other party should not easily offend them.

What is the problem?
