Chapter 85 Buying Wine 2
85
"Shopkeeper, I'm going to greet the guests right away." Seeing the anger on the shopkeeper's face, the waiter knew that he had talked too much, so he ran to the dining table to greet the guests.

"Little girl, do you want to drink?" The shopkeeper asked Ke Hanxue very politely, a pair of shrewd eyes fell on her, and looked at her without any trace.

The shopkeeper looked at Ke Hanxue's clothes, and then saw that she didn't have a flagon in her hand at all, and what she said just now to test the waiter in the shop, the shopkeeper guessed that the little girl in front of her didn't really want to buy wine.

"Uncle, are you the shopkeeper of this restaurant?" Ke Hanxue smiled and said, "I want to buy wine, but I don't want to buy a catty or two, but a hundred catties."

"A hundred catties?!" The shopkeeper was obviously taken aback, and looked at Ke Hanxue suspiciously.

The little girl in front of her didn't look like a maid from a rich family, besides, if she was from a rich family, how could she buy such cheap wine?So the shopkeeper didn't believe that Ke Hanxue really wanted to buy hundreds of catties of wine.

"Yes, shopkeeper," Ke Hanxue said seriously: "I just want to ask, if I buy more, can the price be cheaper?"

"Little girl, do you really want to buy a hundred catties?" The shopkeeper asked cautiously again.

When the shopkeeper heard Ke Hanxue's bargaining, he believed that she was going to buy wine. If she didn't really want to buy wine, why bother to bargain with him?

There are many outsiders in this town, and it is hard to guarantee that there will not be one or two stingy wealthy families who want to drink but are not willing to spend money, the shopkeeper thinks so.

"Shopkeeper, I really want to buy it." Ke Hanxue smiled back at the shopkeeper's caution.

The shopkeeper pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "Little girl, if you really want a hundred catties of wine, then I will give you two cents less per catty."

"That's eleven pennies?" Ke Hanxue said: "Shopkeeper, let's be more straightforward. I don't think this one penny should be counted. It's ten pennies per catty. If it works, I'll let my father come and fetch it." liquor."

"Little girl, we didn't earn much in the first place. You will lose three pennies for me, and I will lose three hundred pennies for a hundred catties. That's not okay." The shopkeeper shook his head, refusing to make any further concessions. .

"Shopkeeper, why don't you count what you earned?" Ke Hanxue smiled: "Even if you sell it to me for ten pennies a catty, I'm sure you can earn several pennies a catty. Calculate it, if I buy a hundred catties of wine, you can earn at least three or four hundred wen, so how can you say it is a loss if you make a profit?"

The shopkeeper was stunned by Ke Hanxue's words, and then he thought about it, this little girl was right, if she bought a hundred catties at once, the restaurant would indeed make a profit.However, it seems that this number should not be calculated in this way, right?

Seeing that the shopkeeper hesitated, Ke Hanxue continued to smile and said: "Besides, I don't want more than a hundred catties. Shopkeeper, you can treat it as small profits but quick turnover."

When the shopkeeper heard that Ke Hanxue not only wanted a hundred catties, but also said that small profits but high sales, he immediately laughed: "Okay! Girl, I will treat it as small profits and high sales, so how much do you really want? I asked Someone will send it to your house."

The shopkeeper thought that Ke Hanxue was really a maidservant of a wealthy family in this town, so he accepted it immediately. What he wanted was to make a long-term big business.

"Shopkeeper, I have to go back and ask my father about the exact weight, and I'll come back in two days." After discussing the price, Ke Hanxue couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Little girl, don't you want it now?" The shopkeeper looked depressed. Wasn't his happiness in vain?

"Shopkeeper, I don't want it now, I'll go back and ask my father how much he wants?"

Ke Hanxue smiled and said to the shopkeeper and left the restaurant.

Ke Hanxue came and went in a hurry, and did not notice that Ai Yiyang in the private room on the second floor had already noticed the bargaining between her and the shopkeeper, and an intriguing smile appeared on her lips.

"Hey, isn't this little girl making fun of me?" The shopkeeper complained towards the door of the restaurant.

"Shopkeeper, who are you talking to?" Ge Yunzhang came out of the tent, and heard the shopkeeper's muttering.

"Mr. Ge, are you done with last month's accounts?" The shopkeeper greeted Ge Yunzhang with a smile as soon as he saw him.

"It's only the first half month. I want to go back today and come back tomorrow to count the second half month." Ge Yunzhang replied with a flat expression. He was worried about his mother being alone, so he wanted to go back and have a look.

"Okay, this account is not in a hurry. I'll pay you after you settle the whole month's accounts, okay?" The shopkeeper looked at the surrounding customers and asked loudly.

"Okay." Ge Yunzhang replied, looked at the shopkeeper, and asked again: "Shopkeeper, who made you angry?"

"Oh, just now a little girl said that she wanted a hundred catties of wine, and she told me the price for a long time, but in the end she said she wanted to go back and ask her father. Isn't this nonsense?" The shopkeeper frowned. Time is precious.

Ge Yunzhang pulled his lips, and persuaded: "The shopkeeper, don't get angry because of a child, this restaurant still needs you."

"Mr. Ge, I understand." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

As soon as Ge Yunzhang walked out of the restaurant, he saw a familiar figure walking into a ceramics shop opposite the restaurant. Ge Yunzhang paused and walked to the grain and oil store, ready to buy some food to go back.

As soon as Ge Yunzhang came out of the grain and oil store, he met Ke Hanxue face to face.

"Ge Yunzhang?!" Ke Hanxue exclaimed in surprise, what a coincidence.

Ge Yunzhang stopped for a while, nodded to her, and then walked away with the bag.

"Ge Yunzhang——" Ke Hanxue suddenly thought of something, turned around and shouted at him: "Your mother has also come to town and said she is going to make clothes for you. At this time, she may be in some tailor shop."

Ge Yunzhang paused, turned around and said to Ke Hanxue: "Thank you!", and went to find Ge Shi.

Hearing him thanking herself, Ke Hanxue shrugged and entered the grain and oil store.

Ke Hanxue returned to the street with the bag, and saw that Ge Shi was also waiting there with the bag.

"Aunt Ge, didn't Mr. Ge find you?" Ke Hanxue frowned and asked.

"I found it." Ge Shi smiled and patted the cloth bag at his feet: "He originally said he wanted to buy some food to go home, but when he saw me coming, he asked me to take the things back. He went back to the restaurant and said he hadn't helped The restaurant settles the bill."

"That's right." Ke Hanxue smiled.

People say that the husband's mother looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her, the more she is satisfied. The future mother-in-law Ge, the more she looks at Ke Hanxue, her future daughter-in-law, is the same.

On the way home, Ge Shi was always looking for something to talk about, and asked Ke Hanxue for warmth, which made Ke Hanxue almost overwhelmed, but Ke Shuisheng listened to the two chatting with a smile all the way, without interjecting.

After Ke Shuisheng put down several villagers from other villages at the entrance of the village, he sent Ge Shi to the door of Ge's house and helped her carry the bag into the house before the father and daughter went home.
