Southern Song Dynasty small landlord

Chapter 9 Beggars

Qin Shou pointed to the cloth and asked, "How do you sell this cloth?"

"A piece of linen costs five hundred cash, a piece of rough cloth costs eight hundred cash, cotton cloth is more expensive, and costs one tael of silver a bolt, and this kind of silk and satin cloth costs two taels of silver a bolt, how much do you think you want? "

Qin Shou patted his forehead and asked, "How many bolts of cloth do you need for a suit?"

Pfft, Xiao Yan'er burst out laughing, feeling that Qin Shou is a fool, pointing to the ready-made clothes and said, "A men's set of ready-made clothes usually needs six or seven feet of cloth, and one horse can make several sets."

Uh, old Qin Shou blushed. Luckily, even if his face was dark, others couldn’t see it. Knowing that he had asked an idiot question, he said, “Bring me the blue suit on the left, and this blue cotton cloth I want one, I want one of this kind of silk with flowers, it will be cheaper for me, and I will come to your house next time."

Xiao Yan'er's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but look at Qin Shou a few more times. She didn't expect that she would be mistaken one day. Fortunately, she made money out of kindness and didn't do anything rude, otherwise she really missed an opportunity. big client.

Every family has a hard time these days, and they usually buy cloth by a few feet. It is rare for Qin Shou to buy one piece at a time.Immediately pull the abacus, and quickly calculate it, in fact, there is nothing to calculate, it is all integers.

He said: "A piece of blue cotton is one tael of silver, a piece of floral silk is two taels of silver, and a suit of clothes is one tael of silver. The total is four taels of silver. I will give you a discount. I will charge you three and eight taels of silver. Does it look right?"

Qin Shou smiled, took out four taels of silver from Huai Chen and put it on the table, and asked, "Do you have any handkerchiefs for little girls? If there is more money, I will count it as a handkerchief."

"How old is the girl?" Xiao Yan'er asked again with her eyes brightened.

"One is ten years old and the other is six. Look at what kind of handkerchief they use. Let me introduce some." Qin Shou didn't know what kind of handkerchief the little girl should wear, so he had to pin his hopes on the proprietress.

Xiao Yan'er nodded with a smile, took out some handkerchiefs from behind the counter, spread them word by word, and said, "There are several types of handkerchiefs, but the fabric you buy is silk, so I'll just buy high-end handkerchiefs." Let me show you, so that I don't have to wear clothes."

Qin Shou raised his eyebrows, he really paid attention to a lot, as expected, shopping for girls is troublesome, it's not like you can get a set of clothes for yourself, and you don't need to match anything.

"The handkerchief embroidered with double flowers costs [-] coins each, the one embroidered with a single flower costs [-] coins, and the handkerchief without embroidery costs [-] coins. Which do you want?"

Qin Shou rubbed his hands against the clothes a few times, and then picked up a double flower with his fingers to take a closer look. It turned out that the double flower actually refers to double-sided embroidery. Although Qin Shou didn't study it, he could still recognize the good and the bad. A single flower is one-sided embroidery without looking at it.

Just as Qin Shou was picking out the handkerchief, an arrogant woman walked in from the outside. Before she came in, a smell of cheap rouge wafted in.

As soon as Zheng Li entered the door, she saw a patched Qin Shou, and immediately became picky about her nose and face, and said in a shrill voice, "Oh, when did Xiaojiabuzhuang become so casual, even beggars can come in and pick out handkerchiefs ?”

"However, Boss Xiao, who are you going to sell this thing that the beggar has touched? This girl doesn't need the thing that the beggar has touched!"

Qin Shou frowned, with anger appearing on his face, he turned his head and glanced at Zheng Li, almost spit out his breakfast, and put away his troubles for Zheng Li, pointing at that kind of double flower, said: "This kind of Give me a few different colors for double flowers."

Seeing Qin Shou ignoring her, Zheng Li sold several double-flowered handkerchiefs, her eyes widened in surprise, and her red face became even more ferocious. Even Xiao Yaner, who had seen it many times, was shocked Feeling nauseated.

He glanced at Qin Shou with some sympathy, and immediately understood why Qin Shou didn't choose it. After careful calculation, I still have to thank Zheng Li. on the counter.

"Do you want anything else?" he asked.

Qin Shou pursed his mouth and shook his head, put away his handkerchief, picked up two pieces of cloth and a piece of clothing, and fled out without looking back. Xiao Yan'er giggled, and when he turned to Zheng Li, his expression softened a little.

Zheng Li, on the other hand, looked at Qin Shou's back in surprise. When did Huazi become so rich, she actually bought silk cloth, and she hadn't worn silk yet. Pointing to Qin Shou's back, she asked, "Boss Xiao, Where is that person from?"

Xiao Yan'er laughed, shook her head and said, "I don't know either, he just came to the store to buy things, I can still find out where he is."

Zheng Li looked back with some pity, and Xiao Yan'er was even more speechless. This person is really snobbish.

Qin Shou didn't know that just because he bought a bolt of silk, he asked a girl to remember it. Holding the things, Qin Shou returned to Aunt He's place. Aunt He sold more than half of the vegetables, and some were sold. It was sunburned, and no one came to ask for a while.

Seeing Qin Shou returning with two pieces of cloth in his arms, Aunt He didn't know what to say. This kid is not a family man, so how can he spend all the money he sells.

Frowning, he said: "Xiaoshou, you are not young anymore, although you divorced Wang Dahua, you can still meet other girls in the future, you can't just spend some money, you have to save money to marry a wife .”

"Hey, I know, but my younger sisters are getting older, so they can't always dress in such rags, so I bought some more cloth, and I will ask Aunt He to make some clothes for them."

Qin Shou didn't care, seeing what Aunt He had to say, he quickly said, "Aunt He, it's getting late, let's go to the pharmacy together, why is Grandpa getting the medicine, okay?"

Aunt He was happy when she heard the words, she looked up at the sky, it was indeed getting late, the sun had already moved to the center, she looked at the vegetables in the basket, she sighed regretfully, and said: "Okay, let's go grab the medicine. "

Qin Shou understood what Aunt He was thinking, pushed the cloth into Aunt He's arms, held the basket and shouted: "The small green vegetables are sold cheap, and you will go home when they are sold out. Half a basket of green vegetables only costs twenty yuan. Don't miss it, miss it!" You must regret it."

Qin Shou's voice was spread far and wide, and it really attracted a few people to come to see it. They didn't have the half-basket in the legend, but there were a lot. If it was normal, it would cost thirty yuan. It's really a good deal to lose ten pennies at once.

It's just that people have greed. When they see it's cheap, they still think about it. One of the aunts pointed to the basket and said, "This dish is all wilted, and twenty cents is too expensive. If so, I'll pay you ten cents. Sell ​​it all to me."

Aunt He's heart was moved when she heard the words, but Qin Shou shook her head again and again, and said, "Auntie, that's not okay, this dish was picked only this morning, and it faded after being exposed to the sun for a long time, and it will definitely be available again." Put it away for two days, you have too little money to sell."

When Qin Shou said this, the aunt's eyes lit up again, and she said, "Then I'll add another word, you see, it's done."

Qin Shou glanced at the others.She didn't have much intention to buy it, so she looked at Aunt He again. Aunt He winked at Qin Shou, which meant to sell it, as much as she could sell, it was better than taking it home to feed the pigs.

Qin Shou gritted his teeth and said, "Auntie, if this is the case, I will drop some, and you will add some, will it be [-] cents?"

The aunt shook her head and said, "Thirteen Wen, I won't take any more."

Qin Shou sighed in his heart, as expected, they were all human beings, and said, "Success, it's up to you."
