Chapter 573: The Arrogant Mr. Hu's Shopping Style
Chapter 573: The Arrogant Mr. Hu's Way of Shopping
Buying fabrics is not an easy task these days.

The difference between the poor and the masters was particularly clear at this moment.

Poor people would buy some cloth only after they had finally earned some money, and then go home to ask their wives to sew and mend clothes for themselves or their children.

But gentlemen wouldn't do such a thing.

It is said that there were no ready-made clothes in ancient times, but that is actually not true.

The so-called private customization in later generations was actually already very popular in the Ming Dynasty.

The concubines of the master's family, who don't care about money at all, have to look at the style first.

This is not a random thing.

In this era of etiquette, colors, styles, and patterns all have rules.

At least you'd better not use colors like bright yellow.

You'd better not mess around with things like dragons and phoenixes.

Although the Queen had issued an imperial decree allowing all women in the world to wear phoenix coronet and bridal robe when they got married.

But few people really dare to do so.

In other words, she doesn't have the ability to put together all the necessary items for the phoenix coronet and bridal bridal gown, right?

Therefore, you have to spend some time thinking about the style and pattern.

Moreover, the Hu family is not a small family. The Hu family has its own emblem.

Although it is just a small "胡" character, it still needs to be added when making clothes.

But then, these people were concubines, and they were not allowed to wear some styles that only the wife of the head of the family could wear.

Therefore, all the concubines could only act according to their own preferences and then pull the group of women together to whisper.

However, these things have nothing to do with Master Hu.

He was currently sitting in the living room next door, crossing his legs, eating snacks and drinking tea.

The shop owners of this shop all want to come over to flatter and say something nice.

Unfortunately, Mr. Hu was too lazy to talk to him any more. He just waved his hand and told him to leave quickly and settle the bill later.

He has Hu Yi with him here.

Hu Yi was worthy of being the steward of the Hu Mansion for so many years, so he naturally knew what Master Hu was thinking.

Immediately, after a little thought, he began to talk about all kinds of gossip in Yingtian City.

The key is that these gossips are not only interesting, but also authentic.

After all, the Hu family's butler knows so many people, and no one knows where he can hear how much information he has.

And Mr. Hu loves to hear this.

Not to mention that he was laughing slyly while listening to the song, he also didn't forget to put a piece of snack or pour some tea into his mouth from time to time.

Wow, this life is so comfortable.

If you think about it this way, the so-called waiting areas and high-end negotiation rooms set up by luxury stores in later generations are what we have enjoyed hundreds of years ago.

At this point, Mr. Hu also scoffed at his previous concerns that shopping was hard and tiring.

Humph, I didn’t expect that I would become a bumpkin.

However, they didn't sit there for long, just less than half an hour, Nana came over quietly, leaned over to Master Hu with a shy look on her face and whispered in his ear.

"Master, the sisters did see the fabrics and styles they liked."

"But the master didn't tell me how much he would buy."

"If you don't give us a number, it will be difficult for us to make arrangements, right?"

Mr. Hu smacked his lips, gave Nana a sidelong look, and said unhappily.

"Are we short of money?"

"Master, am I short of money?"

“Did we save you money?”

Nana immediately smiled ingratiatingly after hearing these three questions. Master Hu squinted his eyes and pinched the other person's ears unhappily, saying unhappily.

"Take whatever you like. It's a rare opportunity to come out, so of course I have to buy more!"

"Don't worry about the money!"

Got it!
With Master Hu's words, all the concubines in the Hu family let go completely.

Because they knew too well the weight of Mr. Hu's words.

Since I said they don’t need to care about money, that proves that they really don’t need to care!

What else is there to say?

They may not know how to make money, but can't they spend money?
A whole hour passed, and the shopkeeper, laughing as if he had eaten bee shit, came to Master Hu with a thick stack of bills.

Looking at the total price of more than two thousand taels, Master Hu raised his eyebrows indifferently, then took out his private seal and stamped it on it with a snap.

That's right, you don't have to pay for this thing now.

That's all cash on delivery!

Moreover, if it is discovered that the goods are not what was ordered or there are other problems, it is very likely that not only will the shopkeeper not be paid but he will also be beaten.

After all, who wouldn’t be a sophisticated person if they could enjoy this kind of service?

Seeing Master Hu's nonchalant look, the shopkeeper felt a little sour-sweet in his heart.

Sweet, of course, because Mr. Hu is so generous, so his family must have made a lot of money;

He felt jealous, but that was because he envied Master Hu's behavior.

Naturally, his family has a backer and supporters.

But since you are also a noble family, would you dare to spend money so lavishly and blatantly?
dare not!

Maybe it didn’t matter before.

But after Zhu Yuanzhang began to vigorously rectify the administration of officials, all the nobles and officials became much more honest.

After all, not everyone can withstand scrutiny.

Even businessmen know that they should not show off their wealth. Don’t these old birds in the officialdom know this?
It had been a long time since the shopkeeper had seen someone as arrogant and unconcealed as Master Hu.

This clearly means one thing.

I can spend this money as I please, and it doesn’t matter if His Majesty finds out!

Tsk tsk, the shopkeeper also wants to have this kind of confidence.

Unfortunately, he was afraid that he would not have this hope in his next life.

Therefore, he could only make the smile on his face more sincere.

He didn't expect to get close to a big shot like Mr. Hu in one go, but if there was even a hint of friendship between them, he would be very rich.

But Mr. Hu’s “arrogance” is not limited to this clothing store.

Next to the clothing store is a jewelry store.

After buying clothes here, Mr. Hu, who suddenly felt a little hungry, went straight to the next door.

He told the girls to continue shopping, and then Master Hu "lent you your precious land" without even asking for their opinions.

No, he was planning to eat here.

Mr. Hu was known to be picky, so he would naturally not let the owner of the jewelry store prepare food.

All he needed was a quiet place, and he was too lazy to go back home for dinner.

As for the food?

Haha, sorry, three blocks away from here, there is a large courtyard called the Friends Hall where no outsiders are allowed to enter.

Coincidentally, that place was originally famous for its food.

Coincidentally, there was a tiny character “胡” printed on the plaque of that place!

Therefore, it is not surprising that Mr. Hu can eat hot meals that suit his taste in this jewelry store in East Market!
Well, after all, it must be our own chef, and the taste is just right!
