Chapter 194 Only buy expensive ones
Zhang Zhiji glanced at Zhu Youjian and said, "Fifth Brother, you can tell that the food here is delicious at a glance. If you eat more later, I'm not very hungry."
Jinxiu also blinked a pair of resentful eyes and said, "Young Master, why don't we change the place?"
Zhu Youjian glanced at Manager Xu and said a little embarrassedly: "It seems that Manager Xu has the vision. Let's sit and rest for a while, and then go back to Tianxianglou to eat later."
At this time, someone shouted at a table next to several people: "Shopkeeper, check out."
The shop didn't look up, but still pulled the noodles hard, just replied: "A bowl of noodles costs six cents."
The man couldn't help laughing when he heard the store's words, and said, "It's only three days before the price has increased by another penny. The market is getting better and better." After that, the man put six copper coins on the table, then left with a humming song.
Although it was a trivial matter of paying for noodles, Zhu Youjian, Zhang Zhiji and Jinxiu were confused. Why did this person be so happy when he heard that the price of noodles increased?
Soon, the store brought a bowl of noodles out and delivered it to the table next to several people, and collected the noodles paid by the person before.
Zhu Youjian took advantage of the store's time to ask, "Store, why do these people look very happy when the price of the house has increased? Isn't it necessary to be angry when I spend too much money on my meal?"
The shop owner looked at Zhu Youjian and said, "I heard that the customer's accent is not from Suzhou Prefecture, right? These are all old customers. Everyone knows that the shop never raises prices randomly. If the price increases on one day, the price of wheat must be higher."
Zhang Zhi said in great confusion: "Is there any difference between the high price of wheat and the high noodle price? In short, the price of food has increased."
"The customer officials don't know that these people have a lot of coupons in their hands. The price of wheat has increased, so the price of coupons in their hands naturally also increased. This bowl of noodles only increased by a cent, but the coupons of one stone each rose by five cents. Do you think they are still unhappy? Oh, just talking, the noodles in the pot are going to be cooked in a mess." After that, the store quickly ran towards the big pot.
Zhang Zhiji frowned and didn't understand, "It's a coupon again, what is this coupon?"
Zhu Youjian said: "You will understand what a coupon is when you visit Suzhou City for a day today."
As the few people were talking, the store brought up the three bowls of noodles ordered by Zhu Youjian and the other two with a wooden pallet. After putting the noodles on the table, the store shouted, "Please use the three of them, please use them slowly."
Looking at the noodles in front of him, the few people couldn't help but glance at the store's hands, and couldn't help but remember the scene when the store kneaded the noodles just now. When looking at the store's black nails, the three of them had no idea of eating noodles.
At this time, a few more noodles-eating guests came to the restaurant, and they shouted to the store: "A bowl of ramen."
Zhu Youjian looked at the new customer who was about to sit at an empty table next to him and greeted him, "Brothers, we have too many orders here. If you don't dislike me, why not come to our table to eat? Don't worry, we haven't moved yet and don't charge any money."
When those people came, Dianjiang had just brought the noodles to the table. Naturally, they knew that the few people had not started eating yet. When they looked at the clothes of the few people, they didn't look like scumbags who were cheating, so they said, "This is not good."
Zhu Youjian said: "Don't be polite, you guys, I have something to ask you about."
Several people looked at each other, and then one of them said, "Since there are too many places and it is a waste to fall down. Let's deal with it for you."
"It's true, thank you for your hard work."
The man stood up and walked towards Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Youjian and the other four were sitting on a square table and four benches. The four of them were sitting aside. Zhu Youjian waved to Jinxiu opposite, "Sit on my side." Then he said to Zhang Zhiji: "You squeezed with Manager Xu."
After the man next to the table came over, he picked up a bowl of noodles and said, "If you have any questions, please ask me if you have any questions, please don't ask me if you say anything."
Zhu Youjian said: "You don't have to move the table, so you might as well call the two brothers over here to eat together. These three bowls of noodles are just enough for each of the three brothers. You can talk while eating it."
When the man heard this, he said in confusion: "Brother, you four have ordered three bowls of noodles in total, and then there are three more bowls?"
"Brother, I misunderstood. We had already eaten some when we went out today, and we couldn't eat it at this time."
No matter how Zhu Youjian explained, the man couldn't understand it. Since he couldn't eat it, why should he order it? The man put down the bowl in his hand and said, "You didn't bring any money, right?"
"Of course not. We sincerely invite a few people to eat noodles." After saying that, Zhu Youjian took out some broken silver and greeted the store owner, "Checkout."
The store came over to collect the money. The store also heard what Zhu Youjian said before, "Is this not the taste of the customer?"
"No, I really can't eat it."
The store owner thought about it, but these people hadn't even moved their chopsticks, so of course it wasn't because there was a problem with the taste.
Another customer felt relieved when he saw that Zhu Youjian had even paid the money, so he said to the shop owner: "This is for the little brother to help us eat noodles, and we don't need the noodles we just asked for."
The store just nodded and turned back to the store.
After the store left, the man called the two of them who came with him. After sitting down, the three of them were not polite, picked up and ate it soon. They had a good luck today. Not only did they not have to wait for a few noodles, but they also paid for them.
The man who came first asked while eating, "What do you want to ask? Although we are helping you deal with this, you always spend money, so we can't eat it for nothing. Anything we know will definitely tell you."
Zhu Youjian stretched his neck forward and approached the man and asked in a low voice: "Brother, are there any coupons to sell?"
The man sucked a bit of noodles into his mouth. Because it was too close, the noodle soup collapsed. Zhu Youjian looked and ate the noodles. The man also leaned closer to Zhu Youjian and whispered in a low voice: "What coupon do you want, little brother?"
Zhu Youjian looked at the man in front of him, and he looked like a person selling a disc in Zhongguancun. He was only thinking about others, but he looked like he was like. He said, "Any coupon is fine, as long as I have it, I will."
The man's eyes rolled and said, "I don't have much now. I only have a cloth coupon, a wheat coupon and a rice coupon. If the young master wants it, I can transfer it to you, but this price?" When he heard that Zhu Youjian wanted any coupon, the man even changed from a little brother to a young master.
"The price is okay, so naturally I can't let my brother lose money. I'll just offer the price."
"Young Master is happy." As he said that, the man put down his chopsticks, took out three coupons from his arms, and placed them on the table, saying, "This cloth coupon is calculated for the young master's eight cents of silver, a stone of wheat coupon is four taels of silver, and a stone of rice coupon is six taels of silver. The young master will give him ten or five cents."
Zhu Youjian took out a ingot of ten taels of silver, and handed it to the man with the five cents of silver that the store had retrieved before, but was stopped by Manager Xu. He looked at the man and said, "Is this price a bit ridiculous, little brother?"
The man said, "How could it be? You heard that your accent is from other places. You probably don't know the coupon price of Suzhou Prefecture. Just take the rice coupon, it's really a price per day. It's not impossible for the price of this rice coupon to double after three or five days."
Manager Xu was still trying to argue, but Zhu Youjian patted his arm and said, "Shopkeeper Xu is too worried. I think the price of this brother is fair." As he said that, he handed the silver to the man and then took his three coupons.
Zhang Zhiji and Jinxiu took a coupon from Zhu Youjian and looked at it. This was the first time they had seen a coupon from Suzhou Prefecture.
These three coupons are all made of high-quality thick vine paper, and the size is different. The largest rice coupon is the size of a palm, and the smallest wheat coupon is just the size of a baby's small foot. The three coupons are written from top to bottom in the middle, "double new rice with a ticket with a stone of shell", "double red and thin silk with a stone of shelled wheat with a stone of shelled wheat with a stone of shelled wheat with a stone of shelled wheat with a stone of shelled wheat with a stone of shelled wheat with a stone of shelled wheat with a stone of shelled wheat with a square foot of the upper left corner. The upper left corner is the font size of the three shopkeepers, two official scripts and one seal script with a different color. The lower right corner is the private seal of the shopkeepers of the three shopkeepers, and a series of numbers on the back are also stamped with the red private seals of the shopkeepers of the three shopkeepers.
Zhu Youjian said: "I want to collect more coupons, but I don't know where to collect coupons?"
The man who sold three coupons hesitated for a moment and said, "I wonder how much the young master is going to collect?"
“The more you have the better.”
The man said, "If you want to be more convenient, you will naturally go to the money shop, pawn shop, and Yinzi Bureau to collect faster, but relatively speaking, the price is higher." As soon as he talked about the high price, he immediately stopped talking.
Seeing that the man was talking and suddenly stopped talking, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but urged: "Is there any other way?"
"Apart from these places, they are collected from ordinary people. But they have to be collected from door to door, and some people may not necessarily sell them, so this will be a lot of trouble."
Zhu Youjian nodded and said, "Thank you."
The two of them who came with the person who sold the coupons before saw the man selling the coupons at a sky-high price. In the blink of an eye, they earned two taels of silver. They took out the coupons in their arms and said, "We have a few more. If you still want them, I have them at home. I will go to my house for a while later."
Although Zhu Youjian did not let Manager Xu care about the man, he just saw the three of them being dissatisfied. Manager Xu glared at them and said in Suzhou dialect: "Bai Chengzai's boat is still smelly than fir trees." This is a Suzhou proverb, which means that if you get people's benefits, you will not only be grateful, but also have to be greedy.
When he heard that this person was speaking authentic Suzhou dialect and was sarcasticating the three of them, the three of them couldn't sit still. At first, they thought that these four people were not locals, so they deliberately quoted a sky-high price. As long as they were from Suzhou Prefecture, even the old lady selling vegetables knew what the daily coupon was.
The man said guiltily: "How about we give the young master a little more?"
Zhu Youjian said: "No need to be cheap. If it is cheap, I don't like it anymore. I only buy expensive things, not the right ones. But when you go back and get them, I'm afraid I can't wait. If the three of you are interested in selling coupons, it's better to leave your names and names, but go home to get the coupons and go to Fengxing Villa to find me later. I'll tell the doorman your names and names. You just need to report your names and say you can find Mr. Zhu."
Hearing this, the three of them hurriedly reported: "I'm Liu Youtian."
"Little Fan Mancang."
"The villain Yu Deshui."
Zhu Youjian nodded and signaled that he had already recorded it, and took out the money to accept all the coupons of several people.
The three of them got the money and didn't even care about eating noodles. They quickly got up and went home to collect the coupons.
The people who were eating nearby had already heard the movement here. After the three of them left, they all came over and said, "Do you still want this coupon?"
Zhu Youjian said: "Yes, no matter how many books you write, you will accept them. If there are still some at home or relatives and friends, you can also take them together. Go to Fengxing Villa to find me."
The originally calm Fly Restaurant suddenly became lively because of Zhu Youjian. Even the store owner knew that Zhu Youjian had collected coupons at a high price, and stopped his work and quickly took out all the coupons and sold them to Zhu Youjian.
Zhang Zhiji and Jinxiu were watching Zhu Youjian pay and collect coupons one by one, not knowing what he was going to do.
It was not until the coupons that the people who were eating in this restaurant were collected, Zhu Youjian breathed a sigh of relief. Manager Xu said in confusion: "Young Master thinks that one tael of silver in Tianxiang Tower is expensive, but now he is spending a lot of money here. Why is this? I roughly calculated that the young master has lost more than one hundred taels of silver in less than a moment."
When Zhang Zhiji heard what Manager Xu said, he grew up and said, "What? He lost more than 100 taels of money to save one tael of money? And he didn't even have enough food for the past half day."
Zhu Youjian said to Zhang Zhiji in dissatisfaction: "You are quiet, do you think you have lost less?"
Zhang Zhiji rolled his eyes and glared at him, "Are you afraid of embarrassing? After a while, you can spend more than 100 taels of money, and your ability to spend money is no match for Master Fang. No wonder your account book is in such a situation. It turns out that these shopkeepers are learning from you when doing business, buying high and selling low, only buying expensive ones, not buying the right ones. Fifth brother, if I don't attack you, you are not a business material. You can't start to cheat yourself of your talent for business just because you made more than 2 million taels that time. That's what you made by gambling, and it's not that different from robbing Ming. If you continue like this, you will lose all your money sooner or later. It's better to return to the capital to be your Five Kings of Hell with peace of mind."
"When did you nag like this?"
After saying that, Zhu Youjian stood up and said to Jinxiu: "Xiuer, let's go to Tianxianglou to have some food, let him continue chanting scriptures here."
"Okay." Jinxiu stood up happily and followed Zhu Youjian. She had never doubted Zhu Youjian's ability. Even if she lost more than 100 taels today, she also lost by her ability.
"Hey hey, you guys wait for me, I haven't eaten yet..." Zhang Zhiji and Manager Xu quickly got up and followed.
Although the ramen restaurant and Tianxianglou are only a few dozen steps apart, Zhang Zhiji is also talking all the way at this point.
When he saw Zhu Youjian and others coming in front of the door of Tianxiang Tower, the waiter not only did not get angry because the few people had left because of a tael of silver, but instead looked even more earnest. His smile seemed to be described in only one word, which was "fake", and his face was almost wrinkled into a chrysanthemum.
Several people entered the hall and found a table to sit down. Zhang Zhiji shouted to the waiter: "Pick the best food for you, and he will treat you today." Zhang Zhiji pointed to Zhu Youjian sitting opposite him.
Zhu Youjian said with a look of contempt: "I was so indignant that I felt so wronged. It was me who lost money and didn't take out your wallet. And have you paid for your money for dinner on weekdays?"
After saying this, Zhang Zhiji suddenly disappeared. He was speechless to Zhu Youjian, and only brought the depression in his chest to the waiter beside him. Seeing that the waiter was still standing there after ordering, Zhang Zhiji scolded: "What are you doing while standing? Why don't you go and prepare quickly?"
The waiter said with a smile on his face: "Our shopkeeper said, today, young master, the lady can use it casually, without having to pay the bill, and it is all counted on our shopkeeper."
