It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 438 Buying Fur

"Mother Liu, you are right!"

Su Rui's eyes lit up, Mian Mian didn't look at it, and walked to the west street with Liu Mama and Xi'er.

In other words, she seldom comes to the west of the city, because the people living in the west of the city are not ordinary people or small families. The people living in the west of the city are all the ancestral homes of serious and wealthy families, although the heads of many families are officials or something in other places. , that cannot be provoked casually.

Walking on the street in the west of the city, Su Rui couldn't stop tsk-tsk in her heart. At first she thought that the "Su Ji" shop in the north of the city was in a good location, but now that she saw the west of the city, she knew what a good and serious place looked like. Unfortunately, she could only look at it. Not everyone can buy it if they want to buy it.

Passing by a pastry shop, Su Rui looked at the plaque and raised her eyebrows "Xianghe pastry". It turned out that Li Feng stole her own pastry recipe and sold it to their family.

Taking a look at the cakes inside, several of them looked the same as her own cakes, Su Rui laughed in her heart, so what if they look the same?Different tastes are fine. Seeing that there are not many people, Su Rui knows that the business must not be as good as her own.

"Miss, what leather do you need?"

Entering the fur shop, the shopkeeper warmly entertains the shopkeeper. The location of the shop is good, and the people who come here are from wealthy families, so the shopkeeper is very warm to anyone who enters the shop, for fear of offending the nobles.

"These are furs that were harvested this year, including rabbit fur, fox fur, lynx fur, and mouse fur."

Su Rui glanced at the furs on the counter, and frowned. Although she had never bought furs in modern times, her mother liked them. She went shopping with her mother many times and learned a lot. She could tell that the furs on the counter were The color of the fur is average, not particularly good.

Ms. Liu has also seen good things. She knew that Su Rui didn't like the fur in front of her, so she stepped forward and said with great momentum, "Our lady wants to choose some better furs."

The shopkeeper looked at Mama Liu's aura and thought that she must be the wife of a wealthy family. Knowing that they didn't pay attention to the fur on the first floor, she didn't dare to neglect her immediately, and hurriedly went upstairs to invite her.

"Miss, there is a private room upstairs, you go up and rest for a while, let the villain go get some better ones for the lady to check."

Su Rui glanced at Ms. Liu, and Ms. Liu said to Xiaoer, "Money is not a problem, we need it if we want it, don't fool us with ordinary things."

The shopkeeper bowed again and again, "Yes, yes, the villain will definitely take it, so don't worry."

The three of Su Rui went up to the private room on the second floor and sat down, Xiaoer was the first to serve tea and snacks.

Su Rui took a sip of tea, "The tea is good, please sit down and taste it, Mama Liu."

Mama Liu refused, "Miss, it's okay if you treat the villains well at home, but if the villains are still on the same level outside, it will be a shame for you."

"...All right, then it's hard work for you and Xi'er to stand together."

Su Rui knew that Mother Liu was doing it for her own good. Her old man had long despised her for being kind to her servants, but she never had the opportunity to preach. This meeting gave her a chance...

Su Rui sat fine, but she was a little hungry. She looked at the snacks on the table and found them very familiar. She picked up a piece and inspected it carefully. She raised her eyebrows. Isn't this homemade chestnut lotus cake?I took a sip, um, it really is my own taste... other people's dim sum shops can't make my own taste.

The shopkeeper went upstairs with a lot of good furs. Seeing Su Rui eating snacks, he approached with a smile, "Miss, do you like these snacks?"

Su Rui just finished eating a piece and nodded, "It's not bad."

The shopkeeper said happily, "This is the pastry of "Su Ji" in the north of the city. It has become very famous in the county in the past few years. The villain arranges the waiter to buy it every day. The business of "Su Ji" is very good. Every time I go line up."

Su Rui smiled, "Su Ji" belongs to her family, but there is no need to say this now.

Seeing that Su Rui didn't speak, the shopkeeper didn't mind. Misses and wives from wealthy families don't talk much.

He signaled the boys to put their furs up in front of Su Rui and stand upright.

Mother Liu went forward to check them one by one, and walked in front of Su Rui, "Miss, they are all good, although they are not top-notch, but I can't find better ones in Pingyang County."

Ms. Liu didn't keep her voice down too low, so the shopkeeper heard it, and he smiled, but he muttered in his heart, fortunately, he didn't perfunctory them and took the worse one, but the best one in the shop. .

Su Rui nodded and stretched out her hand. Xi'er hurriedly stepped forward to help Su Rui up. Su Rui walked up to Pi Zi and looked at them one by one. They were just mouse skins, fox skins, lynx skins and fox skins. Although I couldn't afford good fur in my previous life, I still bought accessories made of lynx fur and fox fur.

On the contrary, what attracted Su Rui even more was that the wolf fur and mouse fur made her eyes shine, especially the wolf fur in front of her, the gray-brown fur color, the color layers are very rich, and when she touched it with her hand, it was soft and fluffy. It made Su Rui feel warm physically and mentally.

As for the mouse skin, it is actually squirrel skin. You don’t need to take it to the sun to look at it, but you can see its silky smoothness and smooth touch under the dim light, and it looks half the size of ordinary fur. No, Su Rui thought it must be very easy and comfortable to wear.

"How do you sell the mouse and wolf skins?"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he thought that he was indeed a big family, and he had a good eye, so he picked the best one.Because it's not winter yet, the top-quality leathers haven't been delivered yet, so the leathers delivered this time are not many good ones, and the best ones are wolf and mouse skins.

"Miss, you have a good eye. These two sets of leather are of the highest quality."

"Well, you quote a price, and I'll listen."

Su Rui turned around and sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, without looking at Xiao Er.

The shopkeeper thought for a moment, and tentatively said, "Wolf skin costs 180 taels, and mouse skin costs 160 taels."

Su Rui thought for a while and asked again, "What about the white fox fur and lynx fur?"

Seeing that Su Rui didn't say no, the shopkeeper hurriedly said, "The best three sets of white fox fur are 100 taels each, and the four sets of lynx fur are 80 taels each."

"There are only three sets of white fox fur?"

Su Rui thought to herself, there are four sets of lynx skins, buying three sets is enough for Chen Rui, but there is not enough fox skins, what about my four sisters...

The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "There is also a set of red fox fur that is not as good as the white fox fur. In fact, red leather is even rarer, but the color is not particularly good. If it is for children, it can be worn."

Su Rui blinked, "Take it over and have a look."

The shopkeeper went to pick it up in person, and quickly brought it over. Su Rui took a look, and the color was indeed not as good as that of the white fox, but the color was brighter.

Su Rui was very satisfied. She could imagine Su Wan's happy face when she took the red fox fur home. The little girl always liked bright colors, so she definitely liked the red fox fur better.

"It's really average, how do you sell this?"

Even if you are satisfied, you can't show a happy look. The shopkeeper finds that you like it and still asks for a price?Kill you?
In short, the more you like and are satisfied, the more you have to pretend that you don't care about the dispensable, so that the shopkeeper can't guess you before you can bargain. This is the experience taught by modern mothers.

The shopkeeper was a little undecided. Seeing that Su Rui was not in a hurry, he became cruel and ordered a lower price than usual, "65, not 60 taels."

Su Rui thought for a while, and slowly drank the tea in the cup. Mother Liu poured another cup before Su Rui spoke.

"Wolf skin is 140 taels, mouse skin is 80 taels, white fox fur is 60 taels for a set of three sets, lynx skin is only 40 sets, and a set is [-] taels, um, this red fox fur, even if you forget it, you have to pay a lot. Count [-] taels."

"It's 730 taels in total, is that okay?"

The shopkeeper's eyes widened and he was shocked!

Even Liu's mother's expression changed, but it soon returned to normal!
