Chapter 75 Selling for a good price
Don’t say that Xiao Er judges people by their appearance. It is really a thing of silk and cloth.
Wen Youshan didn't talk nonsense with him, he put the bag on the long table next to him, opened it up and showed him, "Do you accept this?"
"Sigh!" Everyone in the shop gasped.
The shopkeeper was so shocked that he left the guest he greeted and ran over, took out the piece of silk carefully, and exclaimed, "The texture is tight, it seems to be the craftsmanship of Lao Zhiniang, especially the color is still freshly dyed. Yes! Guest officer, where did this cloth come from?"
The shopkeeper is so excited. Although this cloth is only dyed with silk, not silk, it is already very good. Even if the silk-dyed fabric is given to him, he would not dare to sell it. It is only for high-ranking officials and nobles. It just so happens that as long as you have money, you can buy it, and the market is also wide. If you can find the output of this cloth, you will be able to have an additional purchase channel in the shop in the future.
Wen Youshan didn't expect the shopkeeper's reaction to be so big at all, he was stunned for a long time, and finally reacted when the words were about to blurt out, "Don't care where you come from, in short, there is absolutely no problem, if the price is right, I still have the goods there. "
"Yes, yes, may I ask how much the guest officer has?" The shopkeeper looked at Wen Youshan eagerly.
Wen Youshan pondered and compared the number, "Seventy horses."
"Hey!" The shopkeeper was stunned, no longer dared to underestimate the person in front of him, and quickly and respectfully invited Wen Youshan to the backyard wing.
Before leaving, Wen Youshan did not forget to wrap the silk cloth.
Someone immediately stopped him, "Don't, I like this cloth, sell it to me."
"I also liked it, why did I sell it to you! The shopkeeper, we've known each other for a long time. You can't favor one over the other." Another person spoke in dissatisfaction.
One of the shopkeepers is bigger than the other, and he is more determined to win this batch of goods.
After the shopkeeper's coaxing and coaxing stabilized the guest, he rushed to the backyard in a hurry, and said directly as soon as he entered the door: "Guest officer, you have seen the situation just now, and I will not hide it from you, as long as you have it in your hands. The cloth that I brought here is of the same grade as the one I brought today, and I am bound to get it, so you can ask for a price."
Wen Youshan now understands it. It seems that this silk cloth is really valuable. Since the value is naturally higher, he only has the reserve price in his hand, so it is not easy to bid for a while.
The shopkeeper looked at him hesitating, sat down beside him, took a sip of water, directly compared a six, and said, "I'll give you six taels of silver and one piece of silver, if you have a white one, it's fine, one piece is three and a half, how about ?"
At first, the shopkeeper’s price was five taels per horse, but looking at the attitude of the other party, he was afraid that people would think that five taels were too low and that he was not sincere, so they had to offer six taels.
Wen Youshan's heart was slightly startled, but his face did not show, he frowned pretending to be hesitant, and it seemed that he was not so satisfied. Jiangnan is cheaper than this price. A piece of pure white silk cloth is only three taels of silver. I only gave half a tael of silver to see that you have the goods and we don’t have to travel long distances. If you go out and ask about it, the entire county is still No cloth house can afford this price!"
"The shopkeeper, that's not what I said. I know that this silk cloth is not worrying about selling. I don't know how much you go to Jiangnan to buy goods, but it is not so easy to get the goods back to Qing'an County. It takes more manpower and material resources here. I spent a lot of money, and six taels of silver are too little!"
The shopkeeper stood up abruptly, and said loudly: "Sixty and a half, I will give at most half a tael of silver, whether it will make a sentence."
Wen Youshan then "reluctantly" agreed, and left with six or two and a half sons. As for the batch of cloth the shopkeeper asked for, he only said that it would be delivered one after another, and he didn't say it all at once.
But what he didn't know was that after he left, the cloth was sold by the shopkeeper for 12 taels, which was nearly doubled. Master He was very happy when he found out about this, and rewarded the shopkeeper for 20 taels of silver, you know The cost of purchasing the same piece of silk cloth from Jiangnan to Qing'an County cost 9 taels of silver, and the same price was sold for 12 taels, and the profit was reduced by 20%.
Wen Youshan took the money and drove the donkey cart home in a hurry. When he returned to Fushan Village, the sun had just set in the west. He wanted to hurry back, but unexpectedly met Huang Ergou at the entrance of the village, "Er Dog, you Why did you come back so late?"
Wen Youshan stopped the donkey cart in surprise and motioned Huang Ergou to sit on it.
Huang Ergou didn't show any kindness to him, and jumped into the car directly, panting: "Don't mention it, it's not for your family's business, my ex-sister-in-law went to my house to get lime, saying that your house will repair the front yard in a while, and she also It was said that the roof was going to be tiled, but I didn't go to the town to find out about it. The people in the town said that the master moved the workshop to a village in the suburbs. I went to the village to find out, and I ended up tossing it now. My sister-in-law gave it to me. I spent three taels of the twenty taels of silver, which is a deposit."
Wen Youshan was a little surprised at first when he heard the words, but he didn't react until Huang Ergou finished speaking, and said quickly, "Thank you for your hard work, brother, if you are too busy later, just tell me directly, I will arrange it."
Huang Ergou waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "What's the hard work, what you are doing is what you are doing, and besides, my sister-in-law also pays me wages, and she runs errands, it's no big deal, I have already let Laifu and the others go up the mountain to get wood and stones. Go, I will hurry up on calcining lime here, and start work as soon as the autumn harvest is over, and try to get it done before winter."
He now has a lot of experience in building a house, but this time the Wen's house has to be tiled on the roof. He is more attentive and looks forward to the day the house is completed.
Wen Youshan directly sent Huang Ergou to the door of the house before driving the donkey cart back. As soon as he entered the house, he went straight to Chen Ningya, "Ma'am, I met Ergou on the way. He said that we need to repair the front yard?"
Chen Ningya motioned to Wen Yuanzhen to set the meal, and then she said unhurriedly, "Yes, it's been so long, the front yard should be repaired. When the front yard is finished, I can weave cloth in the backyard with peace of mind, why? You don't want to? build?"
Wen Youshan hurriedly shook his head, he wanted to cultivate more than anyone else, but...
Seeing his hesitation, Chen Ningya smiled and said, "I know what you are worried about, to be honest, after such a long period of subtle impression, the people in the village have long thought that our family is rich. It doesn't matter, it's better to do what to do, and when people ask, they say you use a donkey cart to deliver goods to others, and I will weave cloth for money."
Wen Youshan thought about it for a while, and it seemed to be the case. This year, the people in the village obviously respected him a lot. He didn't think about it before, but now Chen Ningya said it like a slap in the face, and some things that he couldn't figure out suddenly became clear. .
