Escape from the famine at the beginning: I rely on space to spoil Lord Shoufu

Tao Xi enthusiastically opened the cloth bag, revealing the fragrant dried fruit inside. The beautiful and delicate dried fruit was well handled.

She held a piece in a clip and handed it to the other party, "Brother, my relatives bought this dried fruit from further south.

It's fragrant and soft, very delicious, would you like to try it? "

The steward twisted the dried peach and put it in his mouth, biting it lightly, his lips and teeth were immediately fragrant, and the taste was particularly good.

Seeing his satisfied expression, Tao Xi was slightly proud. This is something produced in space, how could the taste be so bad?
If someone really looks down on them, they really don't know the goods.

"Aside from dried peaches, what else can I do?"

Chen Guanshi's bright eyes fell on another cloth bag on the bullock cart, and Tao Xi opened the cloth bag, revealing dried bananas and sweet potatoes.

"Dried bananas are also hard to come by. As for dried sweet potatoes, give the children a taste."

The steward tasted them one by one, and he was very satisfied with the taste, so he waved his hand and said:

"How did you sell it? Do you still have stock at home? I want it all!"

"Dried sweet potatoes are cheaper, ten yuan a catty, while dried peaches and bananas are more expensive, twenty yuan a catty."

This is Tao Xi's careful consideration. Those who can eat these things are from poor families, so she can't sell them too cheaply.

The exception is sweet potatoes, after all, they also produce sweet potatoes here.

"We don't produce bananas here, so the price is really not expensive."

The steward nodded, and introduced: "My surname is Gu, and I am the steward of Gu's firm. I want to talk to you about whether this dried fruit can be sold to our firm in the future."

"Hello, Manager Gu."

Tao Xi's eyes lit up, her surname was Gu, and it was very likely that she was one of Gu Yan's subordinates, but she didn't mention it.

Instead, he said: "There are not many left at home. If the manager needs it, I'm afraid we will have to wait. My relative will bring some when he comes back next time."

"Then sell all the rest of you to me!"

Manager Gu wanted to ask where he bought the dried fruit, but he was a businessman, so he knew that even if he asked the other party about some things, he might not tell him.

The two quickly discussed cooperation, probably because Gu Guanshi was happy, and even accepted all the food left by Taoxi.

A ox cart was sold for a total of 15 taels of silver, which was a good harvest for Tao Xi.

Thinking of the dried fruits in the space, Tao Xi was extremely excited, afraid of arousing suspicion, she didn't dare to take out too many at a time.

But something took shape in my mind.

Manager Gu took Tao Xi to Gu's Firm, unloaded all the goods, and said to Tao Xi:
"If you still have goods in the future, send them to me directly."

"Thanks steward!"

Tao Xi looked at Gu's Firm in front of him. There were quite a lot of things sold in it, and it was a bit like a supermarket today.

Manager Gu smiled and said to Tao Xi: "Little lady, come to our shop to buy things, and I'll give you [-]% off."

After speaking, he explained to the clerk in the shop again, and the clerk quickly responded enthusiastically.

"Thank you, Gu Guanshi."

Tao Xi was overjoyed. Gu's Trading Company sold a lot of things, as well as daily necessities. She picked up the cloth shoes in front of her and said to the clerk:
"I want to buy some shoes."

It happened that Huahua needed to buy shoes, so she bought two pairs of shoes for her family, and the clerk was very enthusiastic and gave her a [-]% discount.

She put the shoes into the back basket, and looked at the shops next door in a daze, "Gu Guanshi, why aren't the shops next door open?"

"Oh, that's the shop of the Chen family, the master of the Chen family died suddenly in the winter, and his children are incapable.

This shop will not be able to operate if it is kept, isn't it thinking of selling it, but just experienced a catastrophe, who has this spare money? "

He has already reported it to his master, and he doesn't know if his master has any plans to buy it.

Tao Xi's eyes lit up slightly, and he said hastily, "Does Manager Gu know the approximate price of this shop?"

Gu Guanshi looked at Tao Xi in surprise, "Could it be that the little lady wants to buy it?"

Tao Xi smiled without saying a word, and Gu Guanshi had a solid idea in his heart, so he said:
"It also depends on the shop, usually the bigger ones are about 70 taels, and the smaller ones are 50 taels.

But now that we have just passed the disaster year, no one will buy it if it is so expensive. I heard yesterday that it is [-]% cheaper! "

[-]% cheaper!

That is to say, the shop next to it only needs two 30 taels, and the larger ones only need four 50 taels?
Thinking about the gold ingots and silver ingots piled up in her space, it would be a lie for Tao Xi not to be moved, she suppressed the corners of her lips that were crazily raised, and whispered to Gu Guanshi:
"I really want to buy one or two shops. Does Manager Gu know anyone from the Chen family?"

"I know, of course I know, I'll ask someone to call the steward of the Chen family over."

After Gu Guanshi finished speaking, he quickly ordered the staff next to him to call for someone. After a while, a steward came out of the Chen family. That person was about the same age as Gu Guanshi, with a sad face, and she was a woman.

There was no smile on her face at the moment, like an eggplant beaten by Shuang. Originally, someone from the Gu family said that someone bought her employer's shop, and she felt hopeful in her heart.

As a result, when she saw Tao Xi, her heart turned cold. Although the little lady was wearing coarse linen clothes, although she looked pretty, she didn't look like she was very rich.

"Is this the little lady who wants to buy a shop?"

"Yes."

Tao Xi stared at the empty shops with bright eyes and a smile on his face.

"Chen Guanshi, may I ask how many shops are vacant in the Chen residence?"

"A dozen or so."

Chen Guanshi sighed, unable to raise his spirits, but Gu Guanshi couldn't help but mention something.

"Chen Guanshi, don't judge people by their cover."

Gu Guanshi's words made Chen Guanshi's face slightly uncomfortable, and she smiled embarrassingly:
"It's not that I don't trust the little lady, but that many people have asked about the Chen's shop recently, but no one has decided to buy it."

In fact, Chen Guanshi is very clear that the wealthy households who can afford it at the moment want to deliberately watch her boss's good show.

So even if you can afford it, try your best to procrastinate, and then you can lower the price again.

But this shop has already suppressed the price to the extreme, if it continues like this, the owner may lose even his underpants.

Tao Xi thanked Guanshi Gu, and then said to Guanshi Chen, "Tell me about the location of each shop in detail, and let's talk in detail."

"Hey, good!"

Chen Guanshi took Tao Xi into the shop next door, this is a cloth shop, the door is not open today, and there are some scraps left in the shop.

Chen Guanshi was embarrassed, "Just passed the disaster year, our Chen family does not have a caravan like the Gu family, so we didn't have time to distribute the goods."

Her boss is in a hurry to sell the shop now, so how can they take these things into consideration.

"I understand."

Tao Xi smiled friendly, followed Chen Guanshi to the second floor, Chen Guanshi sighed.

"Since the drought began, the Chen family has gradually declined, and the food in the food store was robbed by refugees.

Later, there was another snowstorm, and if the young master doesn't sell the shop anymore, he really has no money to go to Beijing to catch up with the exam! "

The young master of the Chen family is also a scholar, and he is well-known in this Yun County.
