Chapter 26: Business Delivered to Your Door (2)
Uncle Fang Yuzhi's bookstore is located on the front street near the train station.
Although the faΓ§ade is not large, it is extremely neat and clean.
Two big red pairs are pasted on the door, because of the New Year's Festival, there is no business in the store, and it is very quiet.
Fang Yuzhi pulled Ji Anning into the bookstore with a smile, walked to the counter in a few steps and said, "Auntie, where is my uncle?" It's in the store. β
"Your uncle is tidying things up inside, Fang Xueqi, Yuzhi is here."
Wei Meihua shouted behind her, and after a while, Fang Xueqi walked out of the back room.
He pushed the eyes that were clipped to the bridge of his nose, and when he saw Ji Anning beside Fang Yuzhi, he immediately smiled and said, "This is Boss Ji in Yuzhi's mouth." β
Fang Xueqi was going to buy a hanging word with Ji Anning, Fang Yuzhi introduced it at the time, and it was also introduced in business, so Fang Xueqi didn't dare to look down on it, the female doll in front of him was only twenty years old.
Ji Anning showed a standard smile: "Uncle Fang is polite, you just follow Yuzhi and call me Anning." β
Ji Anning also got straight to the point: "On the way here, Yuzhi told me, what kind of hanging words are you going to want?" Where to hang? β
Fang Xueqi invited a gesture of invitation: "An Ning, let's talk about it in detail, Yuzhi, go and help make a pot of tea." β
Fang Yuzhi was also shocked by Ji Anning's unfazed attitude, on weekdays, Ji Anning, who was fighting with her, didn't expect to be serious, and it was quite deterrent.
Originally, he was worried that Ji Anning's aura would not be able to stabilize his uncle, who had been running a small shop for many years, but now that his uncle was polite to Ji Anning, Fang Yuzhi responded with confidence and prepared tea with Wei Meihua.
In the compartment office, Fang Xueqi let Ji Anning sit down, and told Ji Anning his thoughts in detail.
He wanted to hang words on the empty wall above the counter, just four words, purple qi from the east.
"Uncle Fang, I don't have a problem with this word."
"Your situation Yuzhi told me, what I want is words, this mounting paper or something, it just so happens that I have a friend in business who does this business." Fang Xueqi opened his mouth to relieve Ji Anning's worries.
What is hanging on the faΓ§ade is naturally good paper, pen and ink, which has to be prepared by Ji Anning, and she secretly estimated the cost of these three things in her heart.
Fang Xueqi also began to negotiate with her.
"I don't know how Anning calculated your price? How much is a word? Fang Xueqi is a scholar, he especially appreciates Ji Anning's words, and it can even be said that he has read countless books, and Ji Anning's words can enter his eyes.
Ji Anning didn't know how to set the price, and she was not a famous person, so she pondered for a moment: "If you write the words, you have to trouble Uncle Fang to frame the words by yourself...... I don't want much, two pieces of one word, you don't think so. β
Ji Anning really doesn't want much, two pieces for one word, and eight pieces for four words.
In this era, nothing that is related to academics is cheap, even if you go out and buy a pair of finished products, it costs more than 20 yuan.
This is her first hanging word business, and it can be regarded as a lottery head, for Ji Anning, four words are a matter of moving her fingers, and she earns all these eight yuan.
"Eight?" The low price made Fang Xueqi unbelievable, but it was impossible for him to raise the price by himself in business, of course, the lower it was, the happier he was, and he laughed a few times: "Then I picked up a big bargain!" An Ning, it's decided, you have to write these four words for me. β
Fang Xueqi was refreshing, and he directly took out four yuan: "You take this, and it will be used as a deposit." β
"Cheng, I'll send you the words in two days." In fact, Ji Anning planned to buy things in a while, and then send them after writing, otherwise those relatives of the Gu family would come tomorrow, and she wouldn't be able to move around at all.
"Tea is here!" Fang Yuzhi walked in with a light step with a tea tray: "Uncle, An Ning, come, drink some tea first." β
Fang Xueqi first took a cup to Ji Anning, and then said to Fang Yuzhi: "This business has been decided. β
Fang Yuzhi winked happily at Ji Anning when he heard this: "Then it's time to drink tea." β
"An Ning, you have this skill, you have never thought of opening a small shop?" Fang Xueqi asked tentatively.
"It's not that easy to open a store." Ji Anning chuckled, she just wanted to open it, but she didn't have the funds: "Let's talk about it later, don't worry." β
"Yes, yes, you are still young, and you have a long way to go." Fang Xueqi nodded cautiously.
After deciding on this business and exchanging a few polite words with Fang Xueqi, she and Fang Yuzhi left.
It was now the second day of the first lunar month, and many storefronts were not open, Fang Yuzhi accompanied Ji Anning to run many stores before she could buy all the things she needed.
A piece of fine rice paper, a piece of inkstone.
Originally, the ink used to write pairs was bought, and although the ink was easy to use, the color consistency was still not as good as the ink.
Fang Yuzhi followed behind, looking confused and confused.
"Anning, you know so much." Fang Yuzhi looked at it carefully, thought about it, and still asked: "But...... Do you really only buy a piece of rice paper? Why not buy a few more, and what if the writing is broken? β
"One is enough." In this regard, Ji Anning replied with a smile without modesty.
Fang Yuzhi was angry and funny and pushed Ji Anning: "How did you set the price?" Don't let me cheapen my uncle because of my face. β
"Is it a niece?" Ji Anning looked at her and gestured a number.
"Eight?" Fang Yuzhi shouted: "Eight pieces?!" An Ning, you have been cheated by my uncle! Just don't mount the words, you go to the market to see, those calligraphy and paintings that are not as good as yours are more than their own numbers. β
Fang Yuzhi drew a twenty.
"I don't make less money, how can I make money and become a fat man in one bite, I have to take it step by step."
Ji Anning had seen strong winds and waves in her previous life, and she had also experienced the trough of her life, so she survived it, not to mention the days when she had food, drink and business now.
She is not in a hurry now, her business is stable, and word of mouth is particularly important, even if she does not make money by selling words in the future, she has to open up this road.
There's always a good way to go one more way.
Fang Yuzhi nodded vaguely and agreed: "Forget it, I don't understand these ways in business, you don't lose anything, by the way, Ming'er Dayu will definitely come back, are you busy here." β
"Ming'er can't do it, Ming'er happens to be busy at home, Dayu will definitely go back to Ming'er for a day, I'll try to find time."
Fang Yuzhi knew that the New Year's Festival had been busy for the past two days, so he didn't ask much, so he nodded: "Okay, no matter what, I will definitely be able to meet each other." β
By noon, they both went home.
Ji Anning also happened to go home and do the serious thing in advance.
In the courtyard of the Gu family, as soon as Ji Anning entered the door, Jin Xiumei saw the things she was holding in her hand, and frowned slightly: "An Ning, went out to buy something?" β
