Chapter 196 Shopping together
"Third Madam, I wonder if it would be convenient for Second Madam and the others to bring back some piglets when they come back. I want to raise some pigs so that it will be more convenient to make bacon in the future." The fat shopkeeper rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly with a hunched back.
There's no way, he is a businessman and can't help but calculate the costs.
While the people in the valley haven't reacted yet, I'll take over the breeding business in advance. Later, hehe...
As soon as Wen heard it, she knew what he was thinking. She didn't say much, but was very happy.
It's not easy for Daju and his friends to hunt now, as they have to run so far every time. Maybe they won't be able to catch any fish in a while. Now that the fat shopkeeper wants to raise one himself, that's great.
He replied, "Okay, I'll ask for you. If they can bring it, they will bring it back when they come back. I'll let you know when the time comes to pick it up. If you really want to raise it, you can clean up the breeding ground first. But try to keep it as far away as possible. My Fu'er can't stand all kinds of smells."
Mrs. Wen thought about her own delicate and soft little girl and reminded the fat shopkeeper.
When the fat shopkeeper heard this, he knew that this was not a big problem.
He bowed and smiled, "Yes, yes. Thank you, Madam. Don't worry, I will find a secluded and windproof place to ensure that the young lady will not smell any strange smell."
Mrs. Wen nodded and said nothing more.
After completing the tasks assigned by my second sister-in-law, I went to the grocery store and asked about the goods that people had been asking about recently and that were in short supply in the valley.
Then he went back and sent the message to his second sister-in-law.
The Gu family has now formed a habit that if they are separated by two places, they usually communicate mainly through text messages to reduce the risk of being discovered.
Miao also received news about the third brother's wife, so when the group went out shopping, they had a focus.
They first went to the rouge shop, and as soon as they entered the door, the shopkeeper came out happily and invited them into the inner hall.
"Madam Gu, you came here today, but what good news did you bring me?" After everyone was seated and a maid served tea, the female shopkeeper waved the maid away and asked Miao with expectation in her eyes.
Miao pursed her lips and smiled, then nodded, and the shopkeeper immediately showed a surprised expression.
"Boss, I've already asked for you. We are willing to cooperate with you for a long time. I wonder what quantity you need? How often is the delivery time appropriate?" Miao asked.
Finally, after discussion, it was decided to deliver goods once every ten days, with 3,000 yuan of soap delivered each time and as many shampoo and conditioner covers as were produced.
Both parties were very satisfied with the result and signed the deed on the spot. The shopkeeper sent a lady and Miao sent Zhiying, and the two of them went to the government to notarize the deed.
After visiting the rouge shop, the group went to other shops along the street.
Jewelry shops appreciate jewelry styles and designs, cloth shops understand fabric materials and patterns, and clothing shops understand current popular styles.
As I was walking along the road, I came to a busy intersection and saw several stores with "Sold" signs hanging in front of their doors.
"Uncle, look at these shops. Are they all going to be sold?" Gu Fu asked while pointing at the shops in front of him in Gu Dajiang's arms.
Gu Dajiang looked in the direction his niece pointed, and sure enough, he saw several shops with signs for sale.
When I walked into a store, a shopkeeper came out and said, "Sir, I'm sorry, but our store is closed for sale. If you need to buy something, please go to another store."
"Boss, we're not here to buy anything. We saw that several stores nearby were selling things, so we came in to ask." Gu Dajiang explained hurriedly.
"Sir, do you want to buy a shop?" the shopkeeper said happily upon hearing this.
You have to know that this sign has been hung for half a month, and only a few people have come to inquire.
Those who come to ask are either trying to take advantage of the opportunity to lower the price and get a bargain, or they have asked and seen, but hesitated and did not follow up.
His master had property in the capital and had returned there a long time ago, leaving him alone here. As long as he sold this shop, he could return to the capital and reunite with his family.
It’s a pity that the sale sign has been hanging for half a month and it still hasn’t been sold.
Now that someone finally comes to ask, the shopkeeper will certainly not let it go.
"Sir, you are here. We are selling our shop. Look at the location. It is in the center of the main street. You can see the crossroads at the door. Go west and you will reach the prayer venue. The four intersections lead to the four city gates. It is convenient for you to go anywhere!"
Gu Dajiang tried to interrupt several times but never found an opportunity.
Finally, while the shopkeeper was swallowing his saliva, Gu Dajiang hurriedly spoke out to stop him, raising his voice and shouting, "Shopkeeper!"
Seeing that he had finally attracted the shopkeeper's attention, he stopped him from talking endlessly.
Gu Dajiang quickly put on a smile and said, "Boss, we don't plan to buy a shop. I just want to ask, why do you want to sell such a good location?"
Then, several people from the Gu family witnessed how quickly the shopkeeper’s expression changed in a second.
As soon as Gu Dajiang finished speaking, the shopkeeper's expression instantly became numb, and even his movements slowed down a bit, instantly changing from full of passion to a listless look.
Maybe no one has asked for a long time, and finally I met someone who is interested in asking.
Although he knew that no one would buy, the shopkeeper slowly rolled his eyes and said weakly: "Alas! This Zesheng County is short of food and there is war, so there is no business at all. Our boss also has property in Beijing, so we sold this place and returned to Beijing to settle down."
"Is it the same in other families?" Gu Dajiang continued to ask.
"That's basically it. Most of them have properties elsewhere. Some are locals and would like to sell their shops for silver while there is still a chance to make a move. If things get chaotic, they can just run away with the silver." The shopkeeper regained some normalcy and explained to the others.
"So that's how it is. Thank you for clearing up my confusion, shopkeeper. You go ahead and we'll go somewhere else. See you later." After knowing what he wanted to know, Gu Dahai said goodbye to the shopkeeper, and they continued shopping.
After strolling along the way, they arrived at an embroidery shop.
As soon as Shopkeeper Mei saw Miao, he came out to greet her with a smile.
He took Miao's hand and said with a smile, "My dear sister, you are here! I have good news to tell you. Come and see, all the clothes you brought yesterday have been sold today."
"So fast?" Miao was also surprised when she heard it.
Although she has seen so many clothes, Miao is still very confident about the clothes she makes.
But seeing that even the shops in such a busy area are selling their products, you can imagine how depressed the consumption in Zesheng County is.
She didn't even have hope that her clothes would sell well, but she didn't expect that the clothes she made would be sold out in just one day.
"Of course, my dear sister. I was like I had found a treasure when I met you. I have just told the embroiderers to speed up the work. With the drawings you gave us, we will be able to launch new models every now and then. The future business...hahaha." Shopkeeper Mei said happily.
