028 Proud House(1/2)

Duo Jin and his two little butts drank a lot of sago and sago rice one after another, and did not want to drink too much tea. Chu Conongrong was relieved after getting the money, and wanted to walk around to see the scenery of the county.

"Why do you want the shopkeeper to give you five taels of silver for just one poem?"

After walking a few streets, Mr. Xu asked. It seemed that he had been holding back for a long time.

"Oh my god, you are as smart as a rich man and you are so beautiful, but you can't figure out the value of that poem?" Chu Congrong's expression was exaggerated and surprised.

"Stop talking nonsense and be direct. I am the guarantor. If you don't get the right product, others will laugh at me for being blind!" Duo Jin said with a serious expression.

It seems that the wealthy people have lost their temper. Sure enough, one should not have too high hopes for the cultural heritage of rich people.

"True elegance does not need to be said directly, but should be experienced by customers themselves. Listening to the sound of bamboo, you will know the meaning of elegance. I left that poem. How many literati and poets will want to see it at a glance. I am sure someone will want to complete the poem.

Is it all? And there is the ultimate sago pearl dew base that even the emperor has never drunk. How many curious tea drinkers have heard about it and want to try something new? I guarantee that their business will be better than before tomorrow.

A lot! Five taels for him is still a little. If the shopkeeper is smart enough, he will at least spend a lot of money to let me provide them with pearl rice. I guess he wants to wait until everyone has tasted it in three days, or he can't make the decision.

Bar."

After hearing this, Duo Jin said contemptuously: "Stop bragging. If business is not good and Prince Taiping comes to trouble me, be careful and I will sell you!"

"Hee hee, rich brother, you are cruel but soft in your words. Little maid, I am too ugly and worthless." Chu Congrong didn't care. She looked at him carefully. This guy's sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes are indeed very good-looking.

A big boy, in her time and space, he should be regarded as a little piece of meat.

Seeing her staring at him nonchalantly, Duo Jin pretended to be angry and said, "How can any woman stare at a man like you?"

Alas, is this guy going to teach this girl a moral lesson about whether men and women should accept or not have sex?

"First of all, I'm just a little girl under twelve years old. What's wrong with you? Secondly, I'm admiring your beauty. What's wrong with that? Furthermore, as a friend, I want to remember your appearance.

Why not? Finally, I want to see clearly under your handsome skin, is your true soul interesting? What do you think?"

Humph, you have some opinions if you look at it. If this girl were a few years older, it would be weird if I didn't tease you!

Duo Jin was choked by her words and immediately lost his temper. He touched his nose in embarrassment and turned his eyes to the distance.

While talking, they walked to a bustling street. The twins were attracted by the dazzling array of snacks on the street, but they always adhered to the first rule, which is to follow their sister closely. Seeing their salivating looks, Chu Congrong bought them sugar-coated haws.

and some pastries.

The two of them were happily eating candied haws, and they were so happy that children are easily satisfied.

Chu Congrong looked at the shabby clothes on their bodies, and then looked at herself. They were also very shabby. No wonder she encountered countless strange looks along the way. A dazzling rich man was accompanied by three little beggars. How could he not mess with them?

People look sideways?

She decided to buy some cloth for the family and make some decent clothes later. She didn't want to be gorgeous but wanted to be clean and tidy. She happened to see a cloth shop, so she led the two brothers in, and the rich man with a lot of money also followed in.

.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any cheap coarse cloths? How many can you introduce to us?" Chu Congrong said directly. The shopkeeper looked at her, then at the lot of gold behind her, and didn't know which cloth to introduce.

"You don't need to look at him. He comes from a wealthy family. It's us, my brother and I, who want to buy cloth. Ordinary farmers don't want the best looking cloth, but just want it to be durable and cheap." Chu Congrong said unceremoniously.

"Girl, our Jincai Cloth Store mainly produces high-quality fabrics. The cheap coarse cloth you want is not available in the store at the moment. The only coarse cloth in the store is a bit thick and is more suitable for winter wear." The shopkeeper said politely.

introduced without any impatience.

"Then please bring it to me and take a look." Just make it thicker, at worst, save it for winter.

Chu Congrong thought to herself, was she too rash and ran into a high-end cloth store? But in order to show that she didn't have stage fright, she had to bite the bullet and deal with it. After all, there were rich people behind to control the situation, and there would be no chance of being beaten.

The stench of expulsion.

"To tell you the truth, this kind of cloth was the most popular last year even though it is coarse. It's just that our store purchased too much, which caused a backlog. If you really want it, I'll give it to you cheaper, but I hope I can recoup some of the cost.

"The shopkeeper said it very matter-of-factly, and his expression was also very sincere.

"Then how much do you have left? What price are you going to give me?" Chu Congrong touched the cloth and felt that it felt good.

"This cloth was originally sold for thirty cents per foot. The purchase price was fourteen cents. I can give you ten cents. If you want more, I can give you one cent less. As for the inventory, there are still twenty-three pieces. If the girl can get it all, I will give it to you.

, I’ll only charge you eight cents per foot.”

It seems that the shopkeeper is very determined to clear the inventory, no matter what role the other party is, it will be obvious. One piece of cloth is thirty feet, and twenty-three pieces is not a small amount.

Chu Congrong thought to himself that if he could pull it back and put it in autumn, it would undoubtedly be a very cost-effective business. Once he put it in the town, it would be easy to buy it for eight cents and sell it for twenty cents. But each horse requires 240 yuan.

Ten coins or twenty-three horses would mean a backlog of five and a half taels, which she could not afford at the moment. She thought about it and decided to just settle it on the spot in the county, and she might be able to make a small profit.

"Shopkeeper, I'm confident I'll get it all, but I don't know how to cut cloth. Can you ask a waiter to help me for an hour? Also, I won't pay the money first, and I will ask the waiter to bring it back directly.

"

When the shopkeeper heard that the other party wouldn't pay, he hesitated and agreed. Although he didn't know them, he would definitely not cheat for a few bolts of coarse cloth based on the young man's clothes. Besides, he also had his own assistant following him.

Chu Congrong went to Duo Duojin to ask about the busiest vegetable market in Ming County. He led the twins and asked the waiter to run straight there with cloth and scissors. Duo Duojin followed behind without saying a word, with the attitude of watching the fun. It was not shopping at this time.

It was the peak period, but there were still many people in the vegetable market. Chu Congrong spotted the lively place, borrowed a table from a nearby store, put the cloth up, and immediately started shouting.

"This is high-quality cloth, come and buy it!"

"For thirty cents of cloth, you can buy a foot of cloth for one cent!"

“After passing this village, this shop is gone!”

“I would rather buy the wrong thing than let it go!”

"Big bloodletting! Only one penny! Daning has never been cheaper!"

"Only twenty horses are provided. Those who shoot quickly will be gone, but those who are late will be gone!"



As she yelled, many people gathered around. Has anyone seen a piece of cloth costing a penny per foot? Don't give it up for free! Those who can come to the vegetable market to make a living will not be rich. There are always bargains here.

Marketing.

"It's a bit thick, so you can only wear it in autumn and winter."

"If it's cheap, buy it first and then sew clothes after the weather cools down."

"Little girl, how can you sell this cloth, really for a penny per foot?"



Chu Congrong explained patiently that the cloth sold for thirty cents per foot at the famous Jincai Cloth Store in your county. Now she sells the cloth for thirty cents for the first foot, fifteen cents for the second foot, and fifteen cents for the third foot.

I only received one article.

Some people doubted the authenticity, and the clerks at Jincai Cloth Store played a role. Some of them had met Mr. Xu, and a lot of gold became the best guarantee.

So some people took action, some bought three feet, some bought six feet, you want black and I want gray, the little guy was busy cutting...

Soon, the twenty pieces of cloth were all swept away. Under the strong request of everyone, Chu Congrong released two more pieces. The last piece was unwilling to be sold. For such cheap things, you must leave some for your family, otherwise

Autumn is here and you don’t have to spend extra money to buy it.

When the young boy went back with more than five taels of cloth money to pay the bills, Chu Congrong was also calculating his harvest. The cost of each three feet of cloth was 24 cents, the selling price was 46 cents, and the net profit was 22 cents. Each piece of cloth cost 24 cents.

Ten feet earned a net profit of two hundred and twenty cents, and twenty-two horses earned four taels and forty cents. Excluding ten cents for shipping, twenty cents for the clerk, and ten cents for tables, chairs, and venues, this event netted four cents.

Two or eight dollars and a piece of cloth took more than an hour, which was a little longer than expected.

Haha, it’s really possible to catch big fish in a small pond. I unexpectedly got a big harvest. It was a complete accident!

This time Chu Congrong learned wisely and found a cloth shop that mainly sold ordinary coarse cloths and bought some thin coarse cloths suitable for summer wear. It was more than enough to make three sets of clothes for each person in the family.

Many Jin saw her triumphant expression and didn't comment much. Instead, they were interested in whether she could make sweet and sour fish.

The rich man is great, but he looks down on this girl? Although Chu Congrong was dissatisfied, she didn't dare to reveal the slightest bit of dissatisfaction so that the twins could get food.

It's past lunch time now, and I guess it's time to go back after finishing the meal. Alas, Dad hasn't had time to buy ginseng yet. I made more than ninety taels today, and if I can't buy the whole ginseng, I can at least buy half of it.

.

Over there, the twins are actively courting the wealthy people.

"Brother, the fish cooked by my sister is so delicious. I don't even spare the fish bones. Lao Liu is even more exaggerated. Even the fish sauce is mixed with rice."

"Brother Tuhao, the mutton cooked by my sister is more delicious. The uncles and uncles who help me all praise her, saying it tastes better than the ones cooked in many restaurants!"

"My sister can also make tofu, which is fragrant and spicy. Adults say it goes very well with rice."



In order to show their talent, the two little guys competed to betray their sisters one by one. Chu Congrong heard from the side and became furious. He betrayed his sister just for a bite of food. Is this his good brother? Also, are you going to kill him?

Is this girl on her way to being a cook?

This girl is a white-collar worker who relies on brains to make a living, not a cook who relies on craftsmanship!

The three siblings were taken to a restaurant called Deyi Restaurant.

"To be successful in life, you need to enjoy yourself to the fullest. Don't let the gold bottle stand empty against the moon. I am born with talents that will be useful. Thousands of gold will come back after I have spent it. If you enjoy cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle, you will have to drink three hundred cups at a time..."

Chu Congrong was moaning happily when two strange glances came from the side, and she immediately stopped them with vigilance.

Oh my god, this girl is really crazy! She just earned a few taels of silver and forgot about everything. When she saw the words "Deyilou", she burst out with pride and casually recited "The Wine Will Come" by the poet Li Bai. My own people

Suppose she is an illiterate peasant girl.

She quietly glanced at someone with her peripheral vision. God bless, I hope this guy wouldn't care too much. It would be bad if it affected her ability to hug her thighs.
