sword sentient beings

Chapter 126 Boutique

From the bedroom at the back, through the yard, you arrive at the main hall of the store.

Pushing open the door, one can see that the lobby is spacious and bright, spotlessly clean, with smooth and shiny tiles on the ground floor, hardwood shelves on both sides, cabinet doors inlaid with colorless glass, and the surgical instruments placed inside can be seen at a glance.

Shi Chunqing has also traveled extensively, and her knowledge is not bad, but she couldn't help but feel good about it as soon as she entered the door. There is no unique decoration here, and there is no luxurious decoration. It is clean, neat and comfortable.

In particular, the light in the hall was sufficient, it was not just good lighting, there was obviously another light source, Shi Chunqing was also a talisman sword master, and immediately noticed the magic weapon, and looked up, only to see the ceiling above the head shone slightly, the light was pure white, like the sun at noon.

Plants like vines and saplings are crawling on the ceiling, pulling vines and vines, coiling down from the pillars, half covering the light from direct glare, and looking natural and cool, with a fragrance of grass and trees.

Shi Chunqing praised: "It turns out that the ingenuity is here. Now that we have planted grass and vines, why not let the vines climb on the shelves, and the shelves are made of unpeeled logs, wouldn't it be more like a forest?"

Tang Zhao said with a smile: "If I were in the city, I would arrange it that way. But we are in the deep mountains and old forests, and there are big trees and grass outside, and we can see green all the way. It is tiring to enter the room and see the green. So I specially chose The brighter mahogany is just to be different from the outside, simple and elegant, making people calm."

Shi Chunqing said: "It makes sense."

There were clerks in the store, and the two clerks followed the other two groups of customers to introduce the products. Naturally, they didn't let go of the reason why the customers came. The young man who was left behind the counter ran out, clasped his fists and saluted, and said softly: "Senior brother, big brother. "

This guy is seventeen or eighteen years old, he is handsome and well-groomed, and he is neatly dressed, making him impeccable. Shi Chunqing looked at Mian Shan and said, "Is it our brother?"

Tang Zhao said with a smile: "This is Shu Qian, Mo Yu's disciple, and so are those few. They come here to help, which is considered to be a task for the villa. Our staff changes every March, and every six months under special circumstances." The task of this boutique is in addition to As for the task reward, he also pays another salary, so this position pays a lot of money, it is the best in the task, and no one complains about the stricter requirements.

In fact, many disciples are willing to do this task for a long time and work in the shop for a long time, but Tang Zhaoduo does not allow it, because being a shop assistant can't learn anything real, so it's better to go and organize materials for the seniors.Especially for these young disciples, it is better to rush back to study after earning some money.However, there are a few who are old and feel that the future of Fu Shiyi is exhausted, and they are willing to work with Tang Zhao for a long time after they go down the mountain. Tang Zhao accepted two after the assessment.

Shi Chunqing visited the display cabinet again, each cabinet had a single magic weapon, and it seemed that there was a small light in each grid, illuminating the magic weapon with brilliance.There are price tags and introductions in the grid. The prices in silver range from thousands to hundreds, and the most expensive one is only a thousand taels of gold.He counted and found that there were fifty or sixty magic weapons in the hall, and said: "It's ok, each of you can produce about ten magic weapons. Junior sisters and the others are fine, you and eighth junior brother have only been making weapons for a few years, if you don't The family has been emptied?"

Tang Zhaodao: "These are not all the works of senior brothers and sisters. If they are theirs, where can I buy them for a few hundred taels? Most of them are the better ones among the works of disciples of Baiyu. The best works of disciples of Baiyu and the works of disciples of Zhenyu are there— —”

I saw a sign on the counter in the very center, with one side saying "Exquisite price negotiable" and the other side saying "Customization accepted".Shu Qian held up a booklet, which turned out to be a catalog of high-quality goods.

The book is very thick, but each fine piece has words and pictures, the pictures are lifelike, and the text is extremely detailed. One magic weapon occupies two pages, and there are not many pieces in total.

"For the time being, each senior sister and senior brother will offer two or three pieces, and if there are too many, it will be worthless."

"If you like it..."

Tang Zhaodao: "There is a VIP room above, go up and have an interview."

Shi Chunqing said: "Are you going to talk? Or invite some junior and junior sisters to sit in the town?"

Tang Zhao said with a smile: "Which laboring senior brother and sister are sitting in town? I invited two Baiyu junior brothers and sisters who are good-looking and eloquent to sit in the town. If it is really a very expensive guest, please contact us. Or if you want to customize it, the price is fine. Interview." Those two are his long-term employees, called "experts" for the time being, and will be called "managers" in the future.

Shi Chunqing couldn't help laughing, and praised: "Okay, very thoughtful."

Tang Zhao said proudly: "This boutique area is fine, it's not much different from the shops selling magic tools outside. Who can't make a high-end store? The real good ones are here—"

Push the wall to reveal a passage.

The passage leads to the next door, and there is another hall, but it is not so spacious.In fact, the place is not small, but it is densely packed with containers, even more crowded than Xue Xianyun's study.There are no big glazed doors or small lights in the containers anymore. Although they are still one by one, they are crowded and crowded, one next to the other.

There are a few big words on the wall: "Affordable magical tools, one hundred taels, white jade for gold, and real gold."

Shi Chunqing said in amazement: "This...this is..."

Tang Zhaodao: "These are all the magic tools that disciple Baiyu usually practiced. The level is average, but the symbols are complete and there are no fakes. They are specially for people to buy goods."

Shi Chunqing listened to his tone, why is it still incomplete?
Sure enough, Tang Zhao pushed open another door. The room was even bigger, and the layout was even more chaotic. Although there were lights, it was still dim. There was not even a cabinet. It was full of pieces of magic tools.

"Cheap goods, ten taels a piece, ten taels a piece. If you can't buy ten taels, you will suffer a loss, and if you can't buy ten taels, you will be fooled—"

Shi Chunqing read the large-character board placed at the door, dumbfounded, and said, "How did you learn this? Aren't you a young scholar?"

Tang Zhao chuckled twice, and said: "The family has a long history. These are the defective products accumulated by disciple Baiyu and the practice works of disciple Moyu. If disciple Qingyu has something to deal with, you can put it here."

Shi Chunqing shook his head and laughed, and fished one out of the box casually, only to see that the materials were handled rough, the symbols were intermittent, seemingly non-existent, and the combination and matching were impossible to talk about, not to mention now, even if he made such a piece twenty years ago. The thing is definitely going to be hit by the board.

After looking at a few pieces, Shi Chunqing only felt pain in his eyes, and said, "The lighting is too dim. Why don't you adjust the bright spots?"

Tang Zhao coughed lightly: "This room can't be too bright, it's not easy to walk away when it's bright."

Shi Chunqing was angry and funny, poked his junior brother on the head with his finger, and said, "Why don't you learn something better? I don't know who taught you?"

He first felt that someone had spoiled his most innocent little junior, and then he thought that although his juniors and sisters were crooked, they hadn't turned in this direction. It seemed that this unscrupulousness came from Tang Zhaoyuan.

He corrected his color and warned: "You mess around, don't smash the signboard of our villa."

Tang Zhao said aggrievedly: "Where is the signboard here? Don't mention the villa, I don't even write about the magic tools in this house, just talk about cheap goods, which is not honest enough? It's not a loss to buy these materials, let alone There are also symbols. Isn't this cheap?"

Shi Chunqing said: "Materials are valuable, but they are worthless after being harmed by their fashionable craftsmanship. All the guests who come to the mountains have high vision, can these rags be sold?"

Tang Zhaodao: "Yes. Those distinguished guests are all rich and powerful, and they flock to each other before going out. They buy good goods by themselves, and their followers usually come here to search for cheap goods. They are not stupid, and they can see it when they buy it back. , No one buys the real rags. Now there are Erdao dealers coming in to find goods. They buy these cheap ones, and they don’t know how to sell them at that time. Anyway, the goods here don’t have the logo of the store.”

Shi Chunqing said: "Then the rest of the rags are finally thrown away?"

Tang Zhaodao: "Ask the seller's own opinion. Either keep it on display and pay after a certain time limit. Or put it in a blind box together."

Of course, some of them were bought by him to fill his glasses.

"Blind... blind box?"

"Well, the blind boxes are sold at the stall at the door, twelve or three. The goods are randomly placed inside, and there may be surprises."

"Are there any surprises?"

"Of course. Do you really think I'm a profiteer? I often put good goods in the blind box, not only magic tools, but also silver, small toys, clothing jewelry, stationery, boxing scriptures and knife books. Ten There are eight of them who are not losing money. I don’t do one-shot deals, and the location is so remote that people are scammed away, and if they don’t rely on repeat customers, they will starve to death.”

Shi Chunqing said: "Although you are not a profiteer, you are enough to eat..."

Just as he was talking, a few well-dressed people came in from outside, yelling and choosing the magic weapon in the box.Shi Chunqing observed carefully, he was indeed dressed as a servant.

Since there were outsiders, the two stopped talking, and when they went out of the inner room, they saw that there were also people from the Bailiang store outside, and those people were dressed more decently, probably housekeepers, guest officials and the like.

When I went to the boutique again, I saw that Shu Qian was also busy. She was introducing magic tools to a new well-dressed couple at the counter.

The two walked through the shop and came to the backyard. Shi Chunqing said, "Can owl deliver the goods?"

Tang Zhao smiled and said, "Yes, thanks to my senior sister, the owls she domesticated are very spiritual, which makes our shop more distinctive and competitive."

"Actually, I still have a lot of ideas, such as auctions, delivery, lottery, membership system, high-end customization... But in fact, I don't need it now. Who will come to the mountain to participate in the auction? I think about it carefully , there are only two advantages of our store, a large number of cheap and continuous supply of low-end magic tools, and the owl raised by the senior sister. The biggest disadvantage is the location, no one will go shopping here, since it is here, it must be either Buy top-notch goods, or buy a lot at once.”

"So now I mainly focus on the cheap magic tools of my disciples, and I can even organize everyone to make large-scale standard magic tools together. For high-end, the main feature is owl delivery. Now I still need to order at home, and I will do mail order first in the future. Not at all When you go out of the house, the magic tools will come. Slowly build a brand, and when the time comes, Baiyu Shenghui's brand will be printed on every magic weapon, and everyone will know it."

He spoke eloquently, articulately, confidently, and radiantly.Shi Chunqing looked at him and smiled slightly.

"You have this ambition, why don't you open a branch in Jichun City?"

"I rented a small shop, but the focus is still on this shop. Before I officially become a swordsman, I will not expand from Jiugao Mountain area." Tang Zhao smiled, "At most, I will occasionally ask owls to spread leaflets in the city. something."

Shi Chunqing nodded, and said: "That's right. Be ambitious and self-aware. But I still remind you that making money is a small way. When you become a swordsmith, money is nothing to you. You can have as much as you want. You can Don't put the cart before the horse..."

Plop--

There was the sound of flapping wings overhead.

The young man with a weak crown flapped his wings and fell from the sky.

"Brother Jiang is here!"

Shi Chunqing nodded, and said: "I'm going back first. Junior brother, I am optimistic about you, Bai Yushenghui... the future must be bright."
