Chapter 96 Two stores earn ten thousand taels a day
Elegant room inside the store.
The wife of the Duke’s Mansion smiled gently and kindly,
"The saint was in a good mood when he received it. He praised the things from the Western Regions as really good, and also rewarded the Duke with several treasures.
I would also like to thank your young master for the warm clothes and down jackets from the Western Regions. ”
At that time, many people from the aristocratic families in the capital were watching the Liu family's jokes. If they went to Yunzhou, they might not even be able to keep their title.
No one expected that they would be a blessing in disguise and find a way to become a merchant in the Western Regions.
The saint did not want to promote the Liu family and asked the Liu family to send him to the palace by himself. He was afraid that it would be counterproductive, so he gave this favor to Zheng Guogong.
The Duke's Mansion will naturally remember their good deeds
Otherwise, the Duke’s wife would not have made this trip in person.
"Madam, some of the new lip balm and goose egg powder you asked about earlier have arrived. I have left a few boxes for you, as well as the newly arrived rouge. Why don't you take a look together?"
"The relationship is so good. The girls at home always talk about wanting makeup from the Western Regions."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu smiled and asked someone to bring in the things she had prepared early in the morning.
Down below, the shopkeeper's wife personally invited Zhao Wanyi into another private room.
The first words Zhao Wanyi said when she sat down were,
"As usual, bring me the best things in your store and your clothes hangers. I want to buy them too."
Knowing that this was a wealthy and generous owner, the shopkeeper's wife eagerly moved everything over.
Zhao Wanyi looked at the newly arrived makeup products and the one hundred and two down jackets, and bought them all with a wave of her hand.
If it weren't for the purchase restriction, she would even want to buy this store.
The fragrance of the newly arrived powder is better than the one she bought before. It has a light floral fragrance, which is more tacky and less bland. It is just right.
The color and texture are different.
"Miss Zhao, our boss has specially asked us to leave you a few more boxes of cream. Do you want them?"
"Yes! Of course!" The maid next to Zhao Wanyi understood and took out another banknote.
"Thank you boss for me."
Zhao Wanyi was wearing a down jacket, and when she went out, she had to take off the cloak she had just put on.
I don’t feel cold at all. This down jacket is so useful!
In just one day, an additional accounting room was arranged in both shops, and the abacus continued.
Especially store No. 2, I can’t finish it, I can’t finish it at all!
As soon as the people in front paid and left, someone came in immediately. Before the broken silver and copper plates were counted clearly, the people behind were urging to hurry up.
There was a cold wind blowing outside, but the shopkeeper inside personally went to collect the cash together, and he was still sweating profusely.
The shopkeeper grabbed the nimble boy and said hurriedly,
"Quick, go to No. 1 store to see if there is anyone who can help! I can't stand it anymore!"
If it weren't for the strong bodyguards guarding the queue outside the door, even the store would have been trampled by customers.
Until the afternoon, the store was almost sold out.
Those who come back to queue are advised to come tomorrow, and they will have to close the door after receiving this batch.
The newly arrived person said dissatisfied, "No, it closes so early? Doesn't the curfew come after Hai hour?"
In winter, the shops on this street usually close after midnight, which is still more than two hours.
‘You have a shop’, you don’t make any money, you don’t have any dreams!
"The goods in the store are almost sold out today. New goods will not be delivered until tomorrow. Even if you wait in line, you may not be able to buy them by then. I'm sorry." The clerk apologized.
The last batch of customers today walked out of the store with the clothes they bought contentedly.
The shopkeeper and his wife immediately pulled out two chairs and breathed a long sigh of relief. They took a few bites of the pancakes that had been delivered at noon and had not had time to finish.
"God, when you count the money, your bookkeeper's hand will be smoking!" the accountant also sighed. "Go and count the money quickly. The old lady and the young master have asked us to take care of this shop. We must make sure there are no mistakes on the first day." The shopkeeper's wife kicked the leg of his stool.
"Take a breath." The shopkeeper waved his hand, "I'm afraid there will be many people coming tomorrow."
When people living around the capital know about such cost-effective clothes, they will come to buy them.
The shop was still full in the morning, but now it was empty.
There were only a few down jackets on display. The most expensive thermal jacket in Shop No. 2 cost 30 taels per set. I only brought ten sets in total. I thought they would be difficult to sell, but they were all sold out.
Of course, what everyone asks about the most is the warm clothes worth five taels of silver.
At the same price, the thermal clothing looks thick and comes as a set, so everyone thinks it is more cost-effective and suitable for people who are not wealthy.
Some people even pooled their money together to buy a set, and then discussed how to divide the clothes and trousers.
"Did we save our own?"
As soon as the shopkeeper's wife said this, the waiters in the room became energetic.
"Don't worry, I've already kept the number that everyone asked for." The shopkeeper said with a smile,
"The young master said that we can all get one set when we work in the store. There are also internal discounts for buying two or three more sets."
Hearing this, everyone instantly became energetic.
Two accountants plus the shopkeeper and his wife, four people worked together to clear the accounts, while the remaining clerks quickly cleaned the shop.
"We actually sold more than two thousand three hundred taels of goods today!"
Compared with No. 1 store, this number is not much. No. 1 store made five thousand taels in one morning, and two or three thousand in the afternoon.
But the things sold in their No. 2 store are cheap. They only sell them for five or twenty taels. The fact that they can receive so much money shows how many customers come.
Any customer who enters the store with money will never leave empty-handed!
Looking at so much money, there are copper strings, broken silver, and silver notes.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to take it out by himself. It was getting dark now, and he was afraid of being robbed. Only two guards and Liu Yunyan dared to carry the money to the bank.
"I'm here, don't worry!"
"That's right." The shopkeeper looked at the red tassel gun in Liu Yunyan's hand. It was so reassuring. The second young lady had beaten the prince of the Hou family the day she returned to Beijing.
Now no one dares to go to Liu's house to discuss marriage.
"The shopkeeper." The waiter who stayed in the store overnight asked, "When will the goods be delivered tomorrow? I'm afraid the customers will make a fuss."
"Everything has been arranged. I will definitely be there before the door opens." The shopkeeper didn't say much.
The old lady and the young master both told them not to say a word about the source of the goods to anyone else.
When I left the shop, it was already dark outside, and the lit lanterns were swaying in the cold wind.
The view is very good, and you can see King Cheng in rich clothes holding a fan on the upper floor of the music shop of the two shops.
"They can get so many things from the Western Regions, but you haven't even found the merchants from the Western Regions?"
There was a cold sweat on the bottom of the head, "Subordinate."
"My eldest brother is really capable." King Cheng smiled nonchalantly,
"The fact that they sold so much goods today does not mean that new goods will arrive tomorrow. Let's check where they are shipped to."
"Yes." The man in black responded and retreated.
Outside, the woman holding a spear gradually walked away.
Only the second uncle of the Liu family is still able to go to war. The only daughter, Liu Yunyan, is actually a proton when she returns to Beijing.
If something goes wrong on her side, I don't know if the Liu family will still stand by his eldest brother.
I would like to add that the curfew in Daqi is set to start at 11pm
