Space at hand: Pick up a prince to farm

Chapter 691
"Princess." Nanny Qin wanted to persuade her again.

After all, it is not impossible for such a thing to happen. As a servant, she has no way to interfere and can only start from the source.

"Aunt Qin, do you want to say that those who are hard to guard against? How do you know that a person with a ruthless appearance will not have such thoughts? If you really use tricks, you can't control your appearance?"

Song Chen took a sip of tea and continued, "I believe in the prince, and I also believe that I will not be inferior to some of the maids. These things really make people feel uncomfortable."

Her previous evaluation was actually quite merciful. Not to mention that the people that Nanny Qin found were not good-looking, some of them even had strange visions. I didn’t know that when Nanny Qin was looking for these people, what happened? What is Ren Yazi thinking in his heart.

"Think about it again, if our palace employs these people, will it be said in the future that I, the princess, am not good? Are we using people like this out of jealousy? Then where does the prince's face go? Between me and the prince Will there be resentment again?"

The most important thing between husband and wife is mutual trust. If she really used these people today, that stingy man might have to think too much.

Nanny Qin had not thought about this before, but now she reacted after Song Chen reminded her like this, and she quickly saluted Song Chen, "It's my fault, I'll send these people back to pick a new batch." come over."

Song Chen nodded and said, "Of course I trust you, Nanny Qin. Not all of these people can't be used. You can choose a few to keep."

Song Chen knew how to employ people, and Nanny Qin had a good intention. If she were to send all these people back today, Nanny Qin would also lose face with Ren Yazi.

If the people around you have a bad relationship with you, it will be difficult to do things in the future.

Naturally, Nanny Qin also understood why Song Chen made such a decision, and was very moved. She quickly picked out five or six maids from this batch of maids, and sent all the others back.

The matter of choosing a maid took much less time than Song Chen planned. It was still early now, so Song Chen changed into light clothes and took Qiu An out of the palace in a low profile.

"Girl, where are we going?"

Song Chen didn't tell Qiu An his destination before going out. When he came out, Qiu An found that it was neither the Beauty Hall nor the Food Pavilion.

"Go to the north of the city and check out some shops."

The capital city is divided into four districts, southeast, northwest, and each direction has different attributes.

Take the Prince Regent's Palace for example, it is located in the most central location in the south of the city. In addition to the Prince Regent's Palace, there are also many residences of the royal relatives and court officials in the south of the city.

The south of the city is considered a gathering place for the powerful.

The population here is also relatively small, and it is considered a cleaner place.

The north of the city is completely opposite. Most of the people in the north of the city are ordinary people and the population is dense. Many powerful people will buy shops here. Because of the large population, they can make a lot of money all year round.

Song Chen was going to several shops owned by Cang Xiuxuan in the north of the city today. According to her previous knowledge, the locations of these shops were quite good, and the business they were doing was not unpopular. Logically speaking, they should be able to make money. But the amount on the account is considered a loss.

So Song Chen felt that he had to go and see for himself.

Of course, if you want to visit these shops, you can't let them know in advance. This is why Song Chen chose to come two days after the wedding.

They would never have imagined that the princess would come over at such a time, so that Song Chen could see everything he wanted to see most clearly.

First of all, they came to a cloth shop. No matter what era people were in, people could not live without food, clothing, housing, and medicine. The cloth shop was basically a business that was sure to make a profit without losing any money.

Cang Xiuxuan has more than just this one cloth shop, there are also ones in the south of the city, but the one in the north of the city is a little different from the one in the south of the city. As long as they sell some daily fabrics, it is suitable for this market.

When Song Chen and Qiu An went out, they put on the clothes they usually wore in the Song family, which were made of ordinary materials. The two of them wiped something on their faces, and now they looked no different from the ordinary people in the north of the city. What a difference.

"Sister, I heard that the materials in this cloth shop are good. Let's go in and have a look."

When the two came to the entrance of Buzhuang, Song Chen excitedly pulled Qiu An inside, switching identities quite easily.

Qiu An didn't have such skill, so she could only follow Song Chen inside with an expressionless face, otherwise she was worried that she would break the skill in an instant.

The shopkeeper of Buzhuang had never seen what the regent's princess looked like. In addition, the two of them were dressed as the daughters of ordinary people, so they were treated as ordinary guests.

Seeing the two people coming in, he winked and asked the waiter to greet them.

The waiter first looked at the two of them. Although the materials they wore were not the best, they were not the kind that had been washed and worn many times. They must be the daughters of a wealthy family.

In the north of their city, such families can afford to buy things.

"What ingredients do you two girls want?" The waiter walked up to them with a smile and asked.

Song Chen glanced at the materials displayed in the store with a curious look on his face, as if he didn't see what he wanted.

"Sister, what is the name of the material that Sister Li bought a few days ago? Why didn't I see it?"

Qiu An really couldn't accept the sound of sister.

Let me ask you, my master, a princess called her sister... would she still be alive if this spread?
She suspected that the master was punishing her?

But she clearly didn't do anything wrong. "I didn't see it either."

She thought to herself that if her master wanted to act, she would naturally cooperate.

The guy was always next to the two of them, and he felt even happier when he heard what the two said, "Since the girl doesn't know her name, do you know the price of the material? As long as you two can tell me the price, I can help you." You two found it."

"What's the price?" Song Chen thought about it seriously, "Sister Li bought half a foot, which seems to cost [-] yuan, but she feels distressed."

Half a foot and twenty cents...

When the boy from the cloth shop heard this, his face suddenly fell. He originally thought that if he met a girl from a wealthy family, he would buy at least one piece of cloth, but he didn't expect that the person he knew would buy half a foot of cloth. Budu feels distressed.

"Girl, the price you mentioned is too common in our cloth shop. Brother, I really can't find what kind of cloth you want for a while. Why don't you go to other cloth shops and have a look? , maybe you can see it at a glance.”

Everyone in the north of the city knows that the cloth in their cloth shop is the best in the north of the city. Now that he said this, I believe the two girls also understand.

He was saying euphemistically that they couldn't afford it.

It happened that at this moment, another guest came in at the door, and the waiter stopped greeting them, and instead greeted them with a smile. Song Chen and Qiu An did not leave in a hurry, they just stood there and watched the waiter greet the new guests. guest.

The new customers were 'wealthier' than them. After looking at it for a while, they bought half a piece of cloth. The quality and price they bought were good, and half a piece of cloth cost nearly two taels of silver.

Song Chen did the math and found that a piece of cloth was about four feet long, which when converted into meters was twelve or thirteen meters.

In ancient times, cloth was measured in feet or bolts. When buying a whole piece of cloth, use a piece. If you buy it in small pieces, it is calculated as a foot. Half a piece of cloth is almost twenty feet.

The waiter had two taels of silver, which was nearly a hundred cents per foot.

I have to say that compared to food, the price of cloth is much more expensive.

However, the food must be eaten every time, but the clothes and quilts made of cloth can be used all the time. This is really a good deal.

After all, people in the north of the city are not like the powerful people in the south of the city, who make several clothes to wear every season.

But whether it is the north or the south of the city, fabrics are popular.

Others paid the money readily, and the waiter sent them out with a smile.

Seeing this, what else does Song Chen not understand?
This is about watching what others order.

This is a big taboo in doing business, especially in a place like the north of the city, where the customers who come and go are of low status. If you feel looked down upon here, you will naturally not come back next time.

Over time, I would only think of coming here if I couldn't find the materials I wanted in other cloth shops.

This is probably the reason why this cloth shop only makes a little money throughout the year.

Song Chen sneered in his heart, the shopkeeper and the waiter were really looking down on others.

After leaving Buzhuang, Song Chen did not take Qiu An to other shops, "Go back home first."

At the moment, she still has something to ask the housekeeper.

After hearing that his master finally returned to normal, Qiu An breathed a sigh of relief and followed Song Chen back to the Regent's Palace.

Song Chen tidied up again and asked Qiu An to call the housekeeper over.

"The old slave has seen the princess."

Song Chen nodded, "I invite you here now. I have something to ask you."

The housekeeper didn't dare to ask for help, "I can't afford the princess's request. I am a member of the palace, and the princess is the master of the palace. As long as the master needs me, I will be here at your call."

These words were considered as full recognition of Song Chen's identity, and Song Chen naturally understood in his heart.

"It's all for the palace."

After the polite words were over, Song Chen was about to get down to business, "When we were sorting out those properties, I noticed that there was something wrong with the income of several shops in the city. I wonder if the housekeeper has noticed this situation?"

"Back to the princess, the old slave may know which shops you mentioned, but the old slave also felt that something was not right, so he went to find someone to check the accounts secretly, and there were no problems with the accounts. I wonder why the princess asked this? "

Originally, he was in charge of these things, and if anything was wrong, he would check it as soon as possible. Yesterday, he also handed over all the accounts to the princess. He really didn't understand why the princess asked such a question.

"It's not an accounting issue."

As soon as he said this, Song Chen knew why these shops had always been like this but had no measures to change it. It turned out that their thinking was too rigid. Once there was a problem, they would check the accounts immediately.
