Chapter 15: Grandeur
This stall is not big, it sells cloth shoes, the stitches are fine, and it looks like they are all made by themselves. The seller was an ordinary-looking woman, with a thin build, probably in her early twenties. And next to it is also a stall for buying shoes, the stall is much larger, and it is already full of people.
The woman saw Liu Yong looking at her shoes, and replied shyly: "This Lang Jun wants to buy shoes?" His eyes were wandering, and he was shy and timid, and he didn't dare to look at Liu Yong.
Liu Yong thought to himself: "How can you do business if you are so shy?" ”
"Oh, may I ask my sister-in-law, how do you sell these shoes?" Liu Yong asked, pointing to a pair of black cloth shoes.
"Thirty dollars a pair." The woman replied.
Liu Yong nodded, and was about to bend down to get a pair to take a look, when someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder. At first glance, it was a chubby middle-aged woman, looking at him with a smile. She has a round face, big eyes and white skin, and she is quite beautiful.
"What are you doing?" Liu Yong was a little surprised.
"Ah, pretty guy, do you buy shoes? What we have here is, pick and choose. The fat woman said as she pulled Liu Yong into front of her stall.
The stall was at least three times the size of a thin woman, and there were many types of shoes. The fat woman began to introduce Liu Yong, smiling, and couldn't stop talking about the pretty guys.
Liu Yong didn't understand what she meant by Brother Qiao, and thought that the woman recognized the wrong person, so he explained to her. provoked an old woman on the side and said: "Oh, you little Langjun is so ignorant, and sister-in-law Hu is praising you for being handsome!" ”
Only then did Liu Yong understand that the original pretty brother was the meaning of a modern handsome guy. His face turned red all of a sudden, and in later life, he would only be called a handsome guy when he dreamed.
A girl on the side glanced at Liu Yong shyly and twisted her head to the side.
The fat woman took the trouble to introduce shoes to Liu Yong, and also took out a pair of silk shoes for Liu Yong to try, saying that this was Lin'an's goods. Liu Yong took it in his hand and saw that the workmanship of the materials was indeed fine. But if it's not Lin'an, he doesn't know. After all, it is also thousands of miles away from Lin'an.
In this way, there are indeed many types of shoes in this stall. In contrast, the shoes of the thin woman next to her were a little monotonous, and the chubby proprietress was very good at doing business with her teeth and claws on her face, so the thin woman's stall was naturally deserted.
Liu Yong asked the price of all the shoes, and the cheapest seemed to be higher than the thin woman. How can the business be done on a scale and publicity. Selling silently like a thin woman, without paying attention to strategy at all, is destined to not be able to sell goods.
After listening to the price, Liu Yong returned the shoes in his hand to the woman named Sister-in-law Hu, and the woman saw that Liu Yong had no intention of buying shoes at all, so she wiped her face off and began to fall and fight. Liu Yong shook his head while pulling Yingying out of the crowd. I heard the sister-in-law in the crowd scolding: "Bai has a handsome appearance, and he came to entertain the old lady." Someone on the side coaxed: "It's my sister-in-law who entertains other people's pretty brothers, so I have to sell shoes to others." Sister-in-law Hu scolded: "Get out of your mother's house." Then there was a burst of laughter.
Liu Yong ignored it, because he was here to do business, not to quarrel with people. Back to the thin woman's stall.
"Sister-in-law, how many pairs of shoes do you have?" Liu Yong picked up a pair and looked at it and asked.
The woman looked a little excited when she saw Liu Yong go and return. She came here to set up a stall just after dawn, and it hasn't opened yet, and she wants to pack it up and go home.
"Well, there are more than 100 pairs in total, Lang Jun, these shoes are all made by the slave family, and they are comfortable and sturdy to wear." When the thin woman saw that Liu Yongcheng wanted to buy shoes, she couldn't help but introduce them.
Liu Yong nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, I want to buy all your shoes, how much do you think a pair is?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the thin woman was stunned. The jaw-dropping pestle resembles a stone statue there. Not only the thin woman, but even Xiao Yingying looked at her uncle in amazement, not understanding why he bought so many shoes.
"What? My sister-in-law doesn't want to sell it to me? Liu Yong asked with a faint smile.
The thin woman shook her head quickly, but her heart was fluttering, she couldn't believe everything in front of her, this was a pie in the sky.
"Then I'll talk to my sister-in-law about the price." Liu Yongdao.
"Okay, well, since Lang Jun wants to go down, it is naturally cheap." The thin woman accompanied the smiling face.
"Then sister-in-law, let's talk about how much a pair is."
"Well...... happiness came too quickly, causing the thin woman to panic, "My shoes are not a price, the most expensive one hundred yuan a pair is silk, the cheapest is hemp face, twenty yuan a pair." Then, is it okay for the slave family to give Lang Jun ten cents cheaper per pair? ”
Liu Yong laughed when he heard it, he felt that this woman was a little too flustered, a hundred wen is cheap, ten wen is nothing, but twenty wen is a fifty discount, but it can be regarded as okay. But......
"Sister-in-law, you are like this, you calculate how much your shoes are worth in total, and calculate it according to your normal selling price." Liu Yong said.
"Oh, well, I'll go borrow an abacus."
The woman borrowed the abacus and counted it carefully.
"Lang Jun, it's a total of two dollars."
Liu Yong nodded and said, "Then how much cheaper can you give me?" ”
The thin woman understood what Liu Yong meant, thought about it, and said, "Then I'll give Lang Jun a consistent calculation of three hundred wen." ”
Liu Yong smiled and shook his head. The thin woman was taken aback and asked, "What?" Lang Jun is still too expensive? ”
"It's always money." Liu Yong made a bid.
The thin woman was taken aback again, and said, "Lang Jun, the slave family has the capital to make these shoes!" ”
"Sister-in-law, I guess your capital will not exceed the usual money." Liu Yong said with a smile.
The thin woman seemed to have guessed what was on her mind, and lowered her head silently. Liu Yong asked, "Sister-in-law, how about it, do you agree?" If you don't agree, I'll go somewhere else. ”
The thin woman hurriedly said, "Agreed, I agree." Lang Jun, you are really good at bargaining, the slave family is already very honest to you. There was some displeasure on the thin face.
Liu Yong just smiled slightly and said, "Then ask my sister-in-law to take these shoes to the carriage over there, and I will give you money." ”
The thin woman nodded and began to clean up her stall.
Liu Yong led Yingying to continue shopping. He stopped in front of a stall with few customers. It's a stall of dried fruits, and there's only one person picking them. And on an ox cart over there, full of dried fruits, more people bought them. The stall looked similar to the thin woman's.
Liu Yong concocted the same method, lowered the price and rounded up the dried fruits. The same is told to the stall owner to carry the goods to the wagon. In this way, Liu Yong bought a dried vegetable stall, a fresh fish stall, a hat stall, and a stall selling chickens, ducks, and goose eggs. These stall owners have successively moved their goods to the wagon.
This frightened the old man, he didn't buy these things, it cost a lot of money. When he heard that Liu Yong bought it, he turned from horror to surprise.
Some stall owners saw Liu Yonghao, as long as the exit was Bao Yuan'er, someone would automatically come to the door. In this way, Liu Yong will be better able to lower the price, anyway, these stall owners are difficult households who can't do business.
For a while, the old man's carriage was in front of a long slide, and there was everything, and he was about to catch up with a small market.
Liu Yong borrowed a narrow wine jar and led Yingying back. Yingying saw her uncle buying things like this, and she was simply worshipping to death. She grabbed her uncle's two fingers tightly with her small hands, and looked sideways at her tall uncle as she walked, thinking to herself, "My uncle is amazing." ”
Back in front of the carriage, the stall owners gathered around and demanded money.
Liu Yong said: "Everyone, please be impatient, there will be no shortage of your money in the future." I ask you to listen only to the dispatch of the following. ”
Those stall owners wanted money, so they naturally obeyed Liu Yong's arrangement and said yes.
"Everyone, if any of you have the money, lend me some first, and I'll buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." Liu Yong asked.
The stall owners didn't expect that they hadn't paid for their goods yet, so they borrowed money from them first, and couldn't help but look at each other.
Another person said, "How can you borrow money to buy paper and pencils, don't you have any money yourself?" In this way, the stall owners started to coax again. Liu Yong couldn't help but comfort him bitterly. Anyway, these people are all difficult to do business, and some of them have not opened yet. This made Liu Yong grab their pigtails, and none of them could run.
The thin woman took out fifty yuan and lent it to Liu Yong. Liu Yong took it and said, "I'll pay you back a hundred wen in a while." The wizened woman smiled shyly. The reason why Liu Yong is like this is because he also feels that he has pressed her a little hard just now, and this thin woman is still a very real woman.
Liu Yong bought a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and began to ask everyone to help cut the paper, cutting it into half a palm-sized square piece of paper. He slipped into the crowd again. After a while, someone brought in a mahogany rocking chair and placed it on the carriage. One after another, two bags of rice, four mahogany benches, and eight jars of wine were brought in. One by one on the carriage.
The surprised old man almost didn't drop his jaw.
At this time, some people came over one after another to watch the excitement, and they didn't know what this handsome young man was going to do.
The stall owners had already cut all the pieces of paper, about two or three thousand sheets, and Liu Yong distributed the cheap brushes he bought to the stall owners. The stall owners took the brush and looked at each other, all with a look of surprise.
Liu Yong kept about 100 pieces of paper for himself, and the rest were divided into the stall owners.
Someone asked, "Brother, do you want us to write something on this?" ”
"That's natural, otherwise what would I do with paper and pen for you!" Liu Yong nodded and said.
Everyone looked at each other again, and they really couldn't guess Liu Yong's intentions. The questioner then asked, "Then please tell me what to write on it, and we will do it." ”
Liu Yong smiled slightly, and told them what he wanted to write. Everyone looked at each other in amazement.
