The late Ming Dynasty in the living room

Chapter 18 Businessmen are ecstatic
Fang Yu bought Axiu a bag of snacks and a pair of tiger shoes. He then took Pang Tiande and a few refugees to sit down and drink a bowl of milk tea.

There were quite a lot of ice drinks in the Ming Dynasty. The bowl of milk tea that Fang Yu drank was mixed with ice, wolfberry, walnut kernels, and diced fruits.

In addition to milk tea, Fang Yu also saw Ringo ice water, Schisandra chinensis ice water, bayberry ice water...

Axiu's belly was full of food, and she was delighted to see the two little tigers on her new shoes.

It's rare that she can still think of others in such a happy moment: "Dad, uncle who is a sophomore in high school, uncle who is a senior in high school, and Grandpa Zhao also want to wear tiger shoes."

Fang Yu looked at their feet. Except for Old Man Zhao, who had a pair of tattered straw sandals, the second and third graders and other refugees were all barefoot.

Fang Yu then nodded and said, "Axiu is right. Let's buy a pair for each of them."

Old Man Zhao knew that Mr. Fang wanted to buy shoes, and hundreds of refugees would definitely not be left behind. He chuckled and said: "We are all used to going barefoot, and it is inconvenient to work with shoes on. Why not buy some important things first?" ."

The sophomores and seniors in high school also agreed. They thought it would be nice to wear clean clothes without exposing their buttocks. Things like shoes were a complete waste.

Fang Yu shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten what Liu Ji did last night?"

Old man Zhao: ...

Well, last night Liu Ji went to Shiting Village to invite Yan Xiucai. After hearing his intention, Yan Xiucai naturally refused.

But at least he can treat Liu Ji politely.

It wasn't until Liu Ji entered the house that Yan Xiucai discovered that Liu Ji was barefoot. He felt that you, Liu Ji, obviously had money to buy new clothes, but you couldn't bear to put on a pair of shoes when you came to my place.

What is this behavior?This is insulting Yan Jingsheng!

In the eyes of ancient people, especially scholars, feet are a humble part. It is very impolite to raise your feet in front of guests or see them barefoot.

Well, the beauty’s golden lotus doesn’t count, nor does Brother Cao’s showmanship.

In short, no matter how Liu Ji explained it, Yan Xiucai got angry on the spot.

Not only did they push Liu Ji out of the door and throw the things he brought (flour) out of the door, they also scolded Brother Fan who was leading the way from the same village.

If nothing else, inviting scholars is considered a shame.

Fang Yu said: "Wearing shoes when doing things is easy to wear and tear. I know this. After the shoes are given out, they can keep them if they are reluctant to wear them.

But you guys often have to run outside. Regardless of whether you are used to it or not, you all have to put on your shoes from today on. "

While he was talking, Fang Yu had already seen a shop selling shoes on the street. He was about to walk over, but saw the waiter at the door retracting with a "swish" as if he had seen a ghost.

"What's wrong with this?" Fang Yu asked confused.

In the shoe shop, shopkeeper Hao was counting the accounts, sighing while doing so.

why?Because of the poor economic situation, fewer and fewer people are buying shoes in the county, and more and more people are going barefoot.

If there is a TV commercial at this time, Shopkeeper Hao will definitely invite several experts to loudly appeal: Not wearing shoes is uncivilized, impolite, and unhealthy.

At this moment, he saw his assistant rushing in like flying, and said hurriedly: "The city gate order is here, the city gate order is here with the refugees!"

Shopkeeper Hao was shocked when he heard this, and quickly looked outside the door. Sure enough, he saw Pang Tiande following a young man dressed strangely, and behind him there were several refugees.

The tragic experiences of Liu Xiangsheng and several other tailors have now spread throughout the county.

It was Pang Tiande who knocked on the door in the middle of the night and forced them to go outside the city to mend the clothes of the refugees. I heard that not only the tailor went there himself, but also the apprentices in the shop were called over.

This has been going on for several days. Liu Scissors and the others go out early and come back late. Alas, the good tailor shop business has been abandoned like this.

Now that Shopkeeper Hao sees Pang Tiande bringing refugees to him again, do you think he can stop being anxious?No matter how you look at this Pang Tiande, he looks so disgusting!Shopkeeper Hao scolded Pang Tiande in his heart, and smiled as he walked out of the counter...

Well, what can we do if we don’t welcome him out?It's too late to get to the door panel now.

If Fang Yu were to know Shopkeeper Hao's psychological activities, he would definitely scold Liu Scissors and Lao Cai: Why do you still hide it when you have made money?Do you know that our reputation has been ruined by you?

Fang Yu walked into the shop, looked around, and then praised with a smile: "The shop owner must have been running this shop for several generations, right? It's a century-old shop. It must be a good skill if it can be passed down."

"Hey, old stores may not always be able to make good things. It's normal to use their reputation to pass off quality goods." Shopkeeper Hao said.

After hearing this, Fang Yu felt that Shopkeeper Hao was really a real person.

Fang Yu said: "We come from the refugee camp outside the city. Most people there don't have shoes, so we came here to take a look."

"Hey, shoes are for others to see. As long as they can fill your stomach, it doesn't matter whether you have shoes or not." Shopkeeper Hao said.

These words were unanimously recognized by the refugees present. They all felt that Shopkeeper Hao was honest in his words and person, and a very conscientious businessman.

Fang Yu saw that there were many styles of shoes here, and there should be a lot of inventory. At that moment, he felt that there was no need to go to a second store... Rich people always feel so happy when buying things.

"Well, Shopkeeper Hao, you see they are all barefoot. Could you please help them measure their feet, and then find a pair of shoes for each of them."

"In addition, we have more than 400 people outside the city. I wonder how much inventory Shopkeeper Hao has here, and how long will it take to order the rest?"

Fang Yu placed a big order for Shopkeeper Hao, and then asked.

The conscientious shopkeeper Hao did not show any joy, but said with a grimace: "My small shop only makes small profits, so I'm afraid I won't be able to handle such a big business.

This young man actually has a bigger shoe store in the east of the city. The shopkeeper’s surname is Wang, and the materials he uses there are solid..."

Well, the conscientious shopkeeper Hao would rather take care of other people's business than make money himself.

Fang Yu finally understood. He was afraid that we wouldn't pay.

Pang Tiande next to him had already rolled his eyes. Doesn't he still know who Shopkeeper Hao is?That definitely comes from money.

"This dog!"

Without Fang Yu's instructions, Pang Tiande walked to the door in a few steps and lifted the rag covering the chicken bus. Shopkeeper Hao's eyes immediately shone with light.

silver!What a big piece of silver!
Shopkeeper Hao shouted in his heart, and his heart was filled with an unprecedented, kind and happy feeling.

"Since Shopkeeper Hao can't handle such a big business here, we have to go to the east of the city to find Shopkeeper Wang. I heard that the shoes he sells are made of quality materials and have many styles." Fang Yu shook his head and regretted.

"Rumor! It's definitely a rumor!"

Shopkeeper Hao suddenly came to life.

His chubby body was very agile. He jumped over and stepped on the lower frame of the chicken bus, as if he was afraid that it would slip away.

Then he started to slander Wang's shoe store.

"His family likes to use old cotton cloth, which is overstocked and defective goods from the south of the Yangtze River. The insoles must be mixed with at least five layers of hard paper, and the stitching is done very quickly..."

Shopkeeper Hao was very excited when he said this. Regardless of the taboos of businessmen, he exposed all the dirty things in Wang's shop.

Speaking of which, Shopkeeper Hao has long held a grudge against the fact that Wang's shop opened later than him and did better business than him.
