Chapter 79 Peace and Wealth
Liu Pan'er still wanted to say, but Zhou Cuihua took her arm and walked out.
"Auntie, you shouldn't have pulled me away just now. I have to reason with him!" Liu Pan'er was angry. How could anyone do business like this?
I bother!
Snob!
Seeing this, Zhou Cuihua didn't care. She smiled and comforted the angry Liu Pan'er, "It was really embarrassing to be looked down upon by others just now. We are not familiar with the place, so it's not easy to quarrel with the locals. This cloth shop is not for sale.
Let’s go to another one, there’s no need to spend money here and be bullied.”
Liu Pan'er thought for a while and felt that her aunt was right, "Okay, let's go over and have a look!"
When Village Chief Li heard their conversation, he realized that they were being disliked. He spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and said, "Bah, dogs look down on others!"
Li Dabao and Mao Dan were also very angry. They also imitated Village Chief Li and spit!
Liu Pan'er smiled when she saw this. She thought about it and began to comfort Li Dabao, "If you don't have money or power, you will be looked down upon by others. When you go back, I will study hard and study hard. Today they are ignoring us, but in the future
We must make it impossible for them to reach high!"
When Li Dabao heard what his mother said, he immediately became happy, "Yes, we will make it unattainable for them! We beg us to buy it, but we won't buy it!"
While joking, several people came to Zhao's Silk and Satin Shop.
It happened that Butler Zhao was also there. When he saw Liu Pan'er and Li Dabao, he still had an impression, "Oh, the melons were sold out so quickly?"
Liu Pan'er also recognized Butler Zhao, smiled and said politely: "Thanks to Butler Zhao, after others saw you buying it, they knew our melons were good, and they all followed suit, and they were sold out before noon."
Butler Zhao was quite happy when he heard Liu Pan'er's compliment, "That's right, my vision is in Baisha Town, which is one of the best, otherwise our master would not let me be responsible for purchasing."
Liu Pan'er nodded and gave a thumbs up, "With a capable housekeeper like you, no wonder the Zhao family silk and satin shop is doing well. Butler Zhao, do they sell cotton cloth in the shop? We are a farmer. We can't afford silk and satin, so we just want to buy some cotton cloth.
.”
When Butler Zhao heard this and saw their sallow complexions, he knew they were having a hard time.
However, with the family's flexibility, the hard times are temporary.
Butler Zhao nodded and smiled, "Our Zhao family silk and satin shop has both fine silks and ordinary cottons. I'll tell my brothers and ask them to give you cheaper prices."
Liu Paner smiled and replied: "Thank you so much, Butler Zhao!"
Butler Zhao walked to the shop and spoke to the shopkeeper inside.
Shopkeeper Zhao was very polite and gave his eldest brother face, "Ordinary cotton cloth costs five cents per foot. If you buy more than two feet, I will give you four cents together."
Liu Pan'er thought about it and felt that the price was a little cheaper than before, "Then if I buy two pieces of cloth, can the shopkeeper make it cheaper?"
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhao was stunned, "Two pieces of cloth are quite a lot, a total of eighty feet!"
Zhou Cuihua was anxious on the sidelines. Although she earned several hundred coins from selling melons today, she couldn't spend all of them. "The Yuan Qing family has too many, but our two families can't afford so much if they buy together!"
Liu Pan'er shook his head and persuaded Zhou Cuihua in turn, "Two pieces of cloth are a bit much for our two families, but with so many people in the village, it's not enough to share! It will be cheaper if you buy more, auntie, listen to me."
Zhou Cuihua and Liu Paner said that if you buy more, it will be cheaper, and nodded, "If it can be cheaper, we will buy it."
Shopkeeper Zhao smiled and said, "One piece of cloth is four cents per foot, forty feet, a total of one hundred and six cents. Then I will give you a cheaper price, one hundred and fifty cents per piece. Two pieces of cloth are three cents. If
If you want, they are all made of cotton over there, in different colors, you can choose whatever you want."
When Liu Paner heard this, she thought the price was quite good.
When the waiter from another family saw how poor they were, he just refused to let them touch them. He was also arrogant and looked down upon them.
"Okay, then I'll pick two pieces of cloth." Liu Pan'er smiled and turned to look at Zhou Cuihua, "Auntie, let's pick a batch of light red ones that women and children can wear. And pick a sky blue one for them.
Men and boys make clothes. If you think it suits you, you can share some of it."
Zhou Cuihua was of course happy to hear that Liu Pan'er had lowered the price, "Okay, okay, your idea is very good. I want one, and then give me twenty for each of your red and sky-blue cloths."
ruler."
Zhou Cuihua immediately took out one hundred and fifty coins and gave it to Liu Pan'er.
I just bought rice and noodles, Liu Pan'er probably doesn't have much money left.
With the copper coins given by Zhou Cuihua, Liu Paner paid three hundred coins.
Suddenly, Liu Paner saw some half-foot-long or smaller satin scraps in the frame in the corner. They were brightly colored and looked better than cotton.
Liu Pan'er pointed to the rags in the basket and asked, "Shopkeeper Zhao, how do you sell these rags?"
Shopkeeper Zhao was stunned. Generally, no one buys these things. Some people want them, so they give them half for sale and half for free. However, the little woman in front of him bought cotton cloth. It is not cost-effective for him to give it as a gift.
Shopkeeper Zhao smiled and said, "For this half basket of silk and satin rags, please give me five cents."
Liu Pan'er saw that most of the steps were less than half a foot. She had promised to buy her daughter a red headband and flowers for her hair, but Liu Pan'er never bought it.
Two pieces of red-headed rope cost a penny, so why not buy these nice-looking cloths and make them yourself?
Liu Pan'er nodded and took out five cents, "Shopkeeper Zhao, I bought half of the basket. Thank you, Shopkeeper Zhao!"
Shopkeeper Zhao collected the copper coins and asked the boy to pour half the basket of rags into the basket Liu Pan'er put on the bullock cart.
Watching them leave, Shopkeeper Zhao looked at his eldest brother, Butler Zhao, curiously, "Brother, are you familiar with them?"
Butler Zhao smiled and said, "I'm not familiar with her. I just met her today. The melon you ate just now was grown by her family and it tastes very good. Although she is dressed shabbily, her conversation is extraordinary. Let's open the door to do business and be friendly and make money."
Shopkeeper Zhao nodded and said with a smile: "Brother said, don't bully young people into poverty. These days, thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hedong, the situation is changing, who knows what will happen in the future?"
"Yes!" Butler Zhao nodded, "We can't look down upon others. Look at Wang's Clothing Village. Boss Wang's family became very arrogant after he made his concubine and brother a boy. But that's okay, we are here.
The business has improved a lot.”
Both brothers are kind-hearted people, very sophisticated in their dealings with others.
After everything was bought, Liu Paner took Zhou Cuihua to buy steamed buns and steamed buns to eat on the way.
Zhou Cuihua was curious and asked: "Yuan Qing family, what did you buy those rags for? Although they are made of silk and satin, they can't be made into clothes!"
Liu Pan'er smiled and explained in a low voice, "I have a lot of girls in my family, and I always want to buy red ribbons for them, but either I don't have the money, or I'm too busy to take care of it, or I think the price is too expensive, so I never buy it. The colors of these silks are beautiful.
, I bought a needle and silk thread, and went back to make beautiful headbands for some girls."
