Chapter 19 New Store Opening (Part II)
As he was talking, Xu Yuan walked over and quietly signaled, Liu Han looked up and saw a group of beggars outside the crowd, these beggars were in rags, holding a wooden stick in one hand and a broken bowl in the other, looking at this side indifferently.
"What's wrong?" Liu Han was a little puzzled.
"They'll come over and ask for money later. Xu Yuan introduced to Liu Han in a low voice, it turned out that these beggars were a group of local snakes in the imperial capital, usually not conspicuous, but every time there was a store opening or a happy event, they would come to the door, and they would not be noisy or noisy, just ask for money outside the door, if they gave less, they would not leave, they would sing at the door of the store, naturally the singing voice was yin and yang, coupled with the strange smell of their body, they were proficient and disgusting you.
Liu Han nodded slightly, he had long been worried that someone might come to make trouble today, so he asked Liu Song to stay in the backyard of the store with a dozen guards, ready to solve the trouble at any time.
"If they're just here to ask for money, then give it, don't be rude, and if there's anything else, we'll talk about it then. ”
Xu Yuan took the order and left, Qiu Ge frowned and looked at those beggars, and was a little puzzled when he heard Liu Han's words: "What's the matter? Are you still afraid of those untouchables?"
Untouchables are the descendants of sinners who have been classified as untouchables by order of the imperial court, and such people have existed in all dynasties, and they are not necessarily beggars or outcasts, but beggars and vagahs are untouchables in the eyes of nobles like Qiu Ge.
The status of the untouchables is not as good as that of slaves, and slaves are at least protected by a capable master.
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's that it's unnecessary. Liu Han explained: "I open the door for business, and I come and go as guests, and I can make money with harmony, and it is the next step to do it, not to mention the new opening today, we also have to pay attention to auspiciousness, no!"
After all, Qiu Ge is a noble son, and his family has never done business, so he doesn't understand these ways, and after hearing about it at this moment, he feels a little tricky when he looks at those beggars.
You can't beat it, you can't scold it, you can only break the wealth and drive away the ghosts, but how big is this wealth?
While talking, someone sent a plaque again, Liu Han greeted him to thank him, it was Lu Fan, who was chubby, he seemed to be still waiting for last night's hangover, and there was still wine in his mouth when he spoke.
After greeting Liu Han, Lu Fan was attracted by the promotional sister who distributed flyers in front of the store.
"Brother Liu, I didn't expect that you still have such a finishing touch, and a few girls definitely have the effect of turning a grass chicken into a phoenix. Lu Fan's face was like a surprise.
Lu Fan had seen these promotional sisters before, not long after they entered the house, their faces were yellow and thin, and they were malnourished, but when they saw it today, they immediately felt different.
Liu Han smiled and didn't answer, and said in his heart What is this, these people want to see the makeup artist in their previous life, so they won't be stunned.
"Who made this costume? It looks weird, well, this is for the Qinglou girl to wear, it's beautiful. ”
"You nymphomaniac!" Liu Han scolded with a smile.
I don't know if I heard him say this, most of them would classify Lu Fan as an animal thinking in the lower half of their bodies, but Liu Han and Qiu Ge both knew that this guy didn't look at the prodigal wreckage, and occasionally did shocking things, ordinary beauties couldn't get into his eyes at all, and only a talented woman like Qingjin could win his heart.
In Liu Han's view, this Lu Fan is the version of Jia Baoyu in this era, appreciating all beautiful things, but rarely have a lot of thoughts in his heart.
Lu Fan didn't seem to hear it, he still stared at the promotion lady tightly, and from his head to his feet, as if he had discovered something new, he hurriedly asked, "What shoes are they wearing?"
"That's called high heels, that dress is called cheongsam, don't make a fuss, you want it, I'll let someone give you the pattern, you just go back and follow it." Liu Han shook his head, very helpless. He didn't plan to make money on it, and he couldn't make a lot of money with this thing, the shoes of this era were very simple, there were no shoe stores on the street at all, only the most ordinary people would buy shoes in the market, people like Qiu Ge Rufan made them themselves, and there were craftsmen who specialized in making shoes at home.
Wan An looked at the lively store door coldly, the lion dancers were still performing hard, and the applause continued, and many plaques were sent one after another, even Ming Yuzhai sent a plaque, and Ming Yuzhai's shopkeeper in the imperial capital even came to congratulate him in person, but Wang Hu didn't see this.
"Big brother, most of them are businessmen, and there are a few scholars, and the others are gone, there are no people in the government, and there is no Cao Gang Fengyulou Golden Gun Club. ”
The little brother who went to visit the letter was very excited, and his dirty face was about to bloom with a smile.
The dozens of beggars gathered around were all excited and gathered around one after another.
"Let's move!"
"Big brother, come on!"
"The surname Liu is not a big deal!"
Wan An was also very excited in his heart, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but as a big brother, the beggar head in this area should naturally maintain a little majesty and a little demeanor, just like those scholars.
These beggars eat this bowl of rice, usually in the restaurant restaurant to ask for a point, red and white ceremonies are their favorite activities, at this time, even the most stingy owner will take out part of the money to scatter.
But today is different.
Yesterday, someone found Wan An and asked him to bring someone here to make trouble today, with only one request, which embarrassed Liu Han and disturbed his opening ceremony.
The person who came paid a lot of money, which made it difficult for Wan An to refuse.
However, beggars also have natural enemies, that is, the officials in Jingzhao Mansion, beggars beg, sometimes it is inevitable to steal, sometimes the officials arrest people and sometimes turn a blind eye, so before each such action, they have to see if there are any officials on the scene.
What is more beneficial than beggars is the people of the rivers and lakes like the Cao Gang Fengyulou, they are more terrible than the officials, at least the officials will not kill people, but these heroes will not hesitate a little when they move their knives.
Now neither of these is there, and the bleeding of the surname Liu.
Another plaque was delivered, and the person surnamed Liu was talking affectionately to the visitor, and the red silk cloth covering the plaque was uncovered, and everyone let out a burst of cheers.
Wan An stood up, his figure was not tall, his hair was unkempt, and there was a piece of ash on his face, but standing here at this moment, he was full of pride, covering his sackcloth full of scars, draping his hair, and sucking the worn-out old cloth shoes that he picked up from there.
"Let's go!"
Wan An waved his hand with confidence, and walked towards the lively store with dozens of people, and when he was still a few steps away from the store, everyone sang Lotus Fall in unison.
After Xu Yuan reported to Liu Han, he kept an eye on this group of beggars, and when the beggars came, Xu Yuan immediately realized that something was coming, and hurriedly asked people to take out the prepared copper coins, and hurriedly came to report to Liu Han.
Liu Han squinted at the group of beggars, who were old and young, young and strong, each holding a broken bowl and singing an incomprehensible ballad, staggering all the way.
The sound of gongs and drums stopped, and the onlookers in the imperial capital knew that the matter was coming, so they naturally got out of the way and let the beggars walk to the front of the store.
"Congratulations on making a fortune!"
Liu Han smiled slightly and spit out a word: "Reward!"
Xu Yuan conveyed loudly: "The master has an order, reward!"
Liu Song took two men and put the copper coins in front of the beggars with a big dustpan, and Liu Song shouted loudly: "Master Liu has a reward!"
Wan An was expressionless, looked at the copper coins full of dustpans, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, this has to change time, so many copper coins have exceeded the reward money given for red and white ceremonies in the past, this surnamed Liu is really rich, that person is not wrong.
If you want to change the time, you can leave after accepting this copper coin, but not today, he has already received other people's money.
"Wishing you prosperity!"
"Wishing you prosperity!"
Liu Han frowned slightly, and Xu Yuan reminded in a low voice on the side, which means that the reward is not enough, and it is necessary to
"Reward!"
Xu Yuan shouted loudly: "The master has an order, reward it again!"
Liu Song waved his hand, and the two men once again took out a large dustpan of copper coins and placed them in front of the beggars.
The greed in Wan An's eyes became stronger, but he still didn't move, on the contrary, the beggars' voices became louder:
"The old man's wealth is rolling, Wishing you prosperity!"
"The old man's wealth is rolling, Wishing you prosperity!"
At this time, even Qiu Ge found that something was wrong, Qiu Ge frowned and looked at Liu Han, does that mean that you have offended anyone?
With his shrewdness, he immediately realized that these beggars were instructed by others, and these two dustpans of copper coins, according to a simple estimate, amounted to fifty or sixty taels of silver, and it was enough to reward the dozens of beggars in front of him.
"So much money, not satisfied, Brother Liu, this is not right!" Lu Fan couldn't help but shout, this kind of thing is often seen in the imperial capital, generally two or three hundred copper coins are enough, Liu Han's copper coins in the dustpan are already two or three thousand, no matter how it is enough.
There's no reason to want it anymore.
Liu Han showed a sneer, Liu Song's eyes were spewing fire, staring at Liu Han, just waiting for Liu Han's order, he was about to go up and do it.
From the pace of these beggars, Liu Han knew that these people had no cultivation at all, and today they were betting that you can't do it, no one, especially these merchants, will bleed when they open for business, and they didn't storm your shop, just in front of the store, legally speaking, they didn't break the law.
It's just disgusting for you!
"Reward!"
Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and prepared two dustpan copper coins in advance, and then rewarded, what to reward?
Liu Han whispered a few words in his ear, Xu Yuan solemnly turned around and went in, and came out after a while, holding a plate in his hand, which was covered with a red cloth.
Xu Yuan walked in front of Wan An with a plate, and Liu Song coldly uncovered the red silk, and there were two rows of eight small silver ingots on the plate.
Wan An's eyes lit up, and he regretted it in his heart, he shouldn't have promised that person, these eight small silver ingots were fifty taels, plus the two dustpan copper coins, Liu Han had already taken out more than a hundred taels of silver, and the man only gave fifty taels of silver, and he only added fifty taels afterwards.
But he has already agreed, people in the rivers and lakes, what he says is counted, since he promised others, he must do it.
Xu Yuan saw that he didn't answer, and was still shouting Wishing you prosperity, so he put the plate on the dustpan.
Liu Song clenched his fists angrily and glared at Wan An fiercely, waiting for Liu Han's order.
The atmosphere of the scene became solemn, the lion dancer took the lion head and hid to the side, the sound of gongs and drums was gone, the drummer looked at Xu Yuan with a drumstick, and he didn't know what to do, the crowd of onlookers quietly moved out, and the whole circle quietly expanded a lot.
