Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 213 Selling Bamboo Baskets

Hearing Liu Ya said that she would give herself [-]% of the benefits, Zi Ruo laughed again.But after laughing, his face turned cold again.She asked Liu Yadao: "Do you mean that I will help you introduce business, say you are good, and let other sisters come to you for advice? But if they become popular with me after you point them out, I am not lifting a stone to hit myself feet?"

Liu Ya knew that people like Zi Ruo not only could coax men, but also had the ability to turn faces and be ruthless.When I use you, my mouth is sweet, but I don't feel much gratitude in my heart.When you are no longer needed, it must be a fight and a breakup, and the tea will be cooled.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Ya kept calling Zi Ruo "Miss Zi Ruo" when Zi Ruo called her "Sister Ya'er", which meant that there was no meaning of close friendship.

Liu Ya also laughed, and said softly: "I don't have to rely on you for this business. If it were someone else, I would still repeat the same words, and the two conditions are still the same. Let's see who wants to be popular."

Zi Ruo was startled, obviously hearing that Liu Ya was threatening.But looking at Liu Ya again, Zi Ruo had a small calculation in her heart.

At first, she already felt that Liu Ya was not simple, but she didn't know how hidden she was; in addition, Liu Ya's words were too bold, so Zi Ruo would not believe it easily.After all, she has been in Hongxiufang for so many years, and she knows that getting a red card is not something you can do if you want to.Wouldn't it be a big joke if such a little girl could play with her palm at will?
Secondly, Zi Ruo didn't like the [-]% silver benefit that Liu Ya gave her, but she knew that this was a good opportunity to make contacts.She can't just be a girl in Hongxiufang for the rest of her life, greeted and sent off like this every day, can she?If she has contacts, she also thinks about doing some other business on her own, and maybe she can leave this Red Sleeve Square.Who doesn't want to be good, but there must be a way out for being good.

Thinking of this, Zi Ruo already had an idea, and asked Liu Ya: "It's not that you can't do it, maybe you are capable enough to win a few girls with red cards. But how can I trust you? You know, my current price But Hongxiufang is one or two high. If you stay overnight, you need at least 20 taels of silver, and at least five taels of silver to accompany your guests. how much?"

After hearing this, Liu Ya asked back: "Since you want more money, how about we expand the scope? It's not just the girls in Hongxiufang who listen to my advice, as long as it's someone you know who can talk If you come to me, I will definitely make her look brand new. If you can persuade the business lady and wife to come to me, I will give you [-]% of the benefits. Calculated in this way, wouldn’t it be a big income? It’s not as good as your red card Bad."

Hearing this, Zi Ruo's mind really moved.She knew that the skillful grooming lady was lined up by rich ladies from merchants to dress her up, so that she could shine in a certain day's tea party or poetry party, and get a good fate so that she could marry those rich and official young masters.

And what Zi Ruo was looking for was such an opportunity, which would allow her to be a good person with peace of mind, and she would not fall down after being a good person, but to change to a more glorious job to do.

Thinking of this, Zi Ruo nodded and said: "However, how to make me trust you requires some sincerity?"

Liu Ya raised her eyebrows, got up and went to the door to bring in the baggage she had brought before.

Zi Ruo didn't know what was in the package, so she seemed very curious.After Liu Ya opened it and saw some ordinary bamboo baskets inside, she lost interest and asked angrily, "What does this mean? What can it prove?"

Liu Ya took out one of the baskets, looked at it, and said, "Strength. You have seen my strength in selling bronze mirrors. Let me sell another basket today. How much do you think such a basket will cost?"

"A few copper coins." Zi Ruo didn't know how much such a cheap thing was worth.It seems that the style is exquisite, and the workmanship is also good, but who would care about this thing in their Red Sleeve Square?They don't need to go shopping for food.Even for grocery shopping, isn’t this basket a little too small?

Seeing Ziruo's expression, Liu Ya smiled, stretched out three fingers and shook it and said, "I sell a basket for three renminbi, here are seven baskets for two taels of silver."

"What? Such a basket, you want to sell it for three renminbi?" Zi Ruo widened her eyes and couldn't close her mouth in surprise.

"It's three renminbi. If I can sell them all, you can think about cooperating with me." After speaking, Liu Ya went out with the basket.

Zi Ruo stared blankly for a while, then quickly got up and went out with Liu Ya, wanting to see how she sold the basket.

Liu Ya carried the basket and walked straight to Miss Ming's room in front.The door of Miss Ming's room was open. It seemed that Miss Ming always got up early.

Liu Ya gently knocked on the door, and then asked: "Miss Ming, I'm the little girl who gave you makeup last time. I'm here today to ask if you still want to wear makeup?"

"It's you?" Miss Ming appeared at the door, looked at Liu Ya with a smile, and said, "Young lady is quite interesting, come in."

When Liu Ya entered the door, Miss Ming naturally saw the bundle in Liu Ya's hand, and asked with a smile, "What are you selling again? You don't specialize in grooming people, do you?"

"Miss Ming, take a look, this is a good thing." Liu Ya said, and took out one of the lotus-shaped baskets.Then he took a look, went to the vase, took out two silk flowers from it, inserted them into the basket, and held them in front of Miss Ming.

Miss Ming covered her mouth with a smile when she saw it, and said, "It's a flower basket. This flower basket is very delicate, how can I sell it?"

"Three coins." After Liu Ya finished speaking, seeing Miss Ming also showed a surprised expression, she quickly waved her hand and said, "Miss Ming, don't be surprised, wait until I finish talking before you decide whether to buy it or not."

Only then did Miss Ming nod her head and said, "You can tell. However, this bamboo basket costs three renminbi, so it's expensive."

Liu Ya said: "This is the only family, there is no semicolon. This is not an ordinary bamboo basket. Miss Ming, do you have an umbrella in this house? Lend me for it."

"There's one hanging in the corner over there, see if it works." Miss Ming didn't know what Liu Ya wanted the umbrella for, so she casually pointed to the corner.

Liu Ya walked over and took off the parasol, opened it and made gestures.Then he held the delicate bamboo basket in his left hand, and propped the umbrella over his head with his right hand. He moved lightly, took a few steps in the room, and then walked back slowly. Then he said to Miss Ming: "Miss Ming Do you understand? Dressing up like this has a special charm. This little bamboo basket is the finishing touch, making you, Miss Ming, very different from other girls."
