Chapter 27 Is ten coins expensive?
The playing cards in Xinhua Bookstore look really high-end.
The small cardboard box was obviously carefully designed. There was a painting on the front, with four knights holding spears on it. The three at the back were galloping on their horses, and the one at the head was holding the reins of the war horse.
Raise the front hooves high...
The painting on the back of the carton is relatively simple, just a cold horizontal knife. Coupled with the exquisite patterns on the four sides, it really makes people fall in love with it at first sight.
To be honest, there is no need to read anything in it.
But when I heard the shopkeeper tell me the price of a deck of playing cards, even though Fang Yiai was surrounded by second-generation officials in Chang'an City, no one was short of money, but ten dollars would buy a pair of made gadgets?
So there were two grumpy people, and they immediately got angry!
"Ten guanqian? Are you running a black shop?"
"Do you think our brothers are easy to bully? If you dare to open your mouth, you will be asked to pay ten thousand dollars?"
…
The two second-generation officials with big muscles and round waists subconsciously started to push up their sleeves, as if the shopkeeper's answer was inappropriate, and they were about to step forward to do it, which made the shopkeeper tremble.
"Dear gentlemen, please calm down first!"
Knowing that these people in front of him are not easy to mess with, the shopkeeper could only smile bitterly and said: "It's really not that our shop is evil, nor is it deliberately playing tricks on you. It's really... we didn't set this price.
And they don’t allow them to sell at a reduced price, so there’s nothing we can do about it!”
With a smile on his face, the shopkeeper felt helpless in his heart.
If the owner behind Xinhua Bookstore is revealed, he will naturally not be afraid of anyone. These are just the children of some powerful people. How dare they smash a prince's shop? But the problem now is that although his owner opened this
The store must be secretive and not let others know...
To be honest, it's a bit deceptive.
After all, over time, everyone will naturally know that the so-called low-key is just wishful thinking. But this is also an unspoken rule. It is okay for others to know through various methods, but at least you cannot take the initiative to publicize it.
But since he became the shopkeeper of this Xinhua Bookstore, he must abide by such rules. If he really had a conflict with the second generation in front of him and finally forced his master to come forward...
"Okay, shut up!"
Just when the shopkeeper was in trouble, Fang Yiai saw that the momentum was not right. He immediately trembled and shouted domineeringly: "We are here to buy things, not to find faults! This card is the price, who of you
If you want it, buy it quickly. If you don’t have enough money, we’ll come back another day!”
While winking at his brothers desperately, Fang Yiai started to sweat all over his body.
He really understands the temperament of these guys very well.
They are usually the boss of the emperor and the second oldest son in the family, but they are too bad-tempered to be the third best. Not to mention a small bookstore owner, even the petty officials in Chang'an City will scold them whenever they get angry...
When she thought of the consequences if these people messed up, Fang Yiai felt extremely regretful.
Why didn't you remind them before coming to the bookstore?
If we knew who the owner was behind this store, Fang Yiai could guarantee that each of these grandchildren would be more honest than the last. No matter how powerful their family was, could they be bigger than a prince?
and……
If he really forced the shopkeeper to carry him out of the backstage, he didn't know what happened to these boys, but Fang Yiai himself would definitely be beaten to death by his sister.
Seeing Fang Yiai's appearance, several second-generation officials were stunned at the same time.
But they were not fools. After hearing Fang Yiai's unusual words and seeing his eyes blinking desperately, the boys quickly came to their senses, with a strong look of suspicion flashing in their eyes: Could it be that
, we cannot mess with the boss behind this bookstore? Or should we say that we can’t mess with him?
It shouldn’t be!
Looking at each other, several second-generation officials were a little puzzled.
Many people's families have businesses in the East Market and West Market, which is not surprising to them, but they are usually engaged in profitable businesses such as grain stores and silk shops. Who has ever heard of such businesses?
You open a bookstore? How much money can you make by selling books? Not to mention taking a look at the Xinhua Bookstore, where are the books for sale?
Fang Yiai saw it, took two steps forward and whispered: "Okay, please be honest with me... Ahem, the price of these cards is a bit expensive, but they are so exquisitely made, and they are indeed worth it.
It’s worth it. Brothers, I guarantee that this card is exactly the same as mine, and it can’t be wrong.”
"But ten guan for a pair is too expensive, right?"
After listening to Fang Yiai's words, a young man couldn't help but frown.
His monthly income is only 20 guan, which is enough to buy two decks of cards? No matter how exquisite your work is, it is still made of paper. How can it be worth so much? You are obviously taking them for granted.
!
"this……"
Fang Yiai was speechless about the matter of ten guan for a deck of cards. In his heart, he couldn't help but start to complain about his brother-in-law. You said there is nothing wrong with making some playing cards and selling them, but for ten guan,
Isn’t it too exaggerated?
However, he complained in his heart, but Fang Yiai could only patiently advise: "It's a bit expensive, but who told Chang'an City to only sell it here? Brothers, give me some face, I want to
If you buy something, buy it quickly. If you think it’s expensive... let’s talk about it later, okay?”
When saying these words, Fang Yiai was really confused.
He really wanted to wave his hand and look down on these guys, and then say that he can't afford it, so I'll give you a pair or something, but when he thought about the price of ten yuan a pair, Fang Yiai gave up decisively.
Fortunately, looking at his cautious look, and looking at the shopkeeper who was smiling but obviously confident, the young men all understood.
A few who were cash-strapped nodded and said they would come back to buy them later, while there were also two second-generation officials who were eager to buy playing cards to honor their elders. After hesitating for a moment, they gritted their teeth and nodded: "Then buy a pair first.
If it’s not bad, I’ll buy it again later…”
…
"Your Majesty, ten guan for a pair... isn't it a little too expensive?"
Biting her lip, Fang Fengzhu asked a little tangledly.
In fact, Fang Fengzhu had some resistance to the matter of doing business in the palace. Now that she heard Li Yuanjia say that a deck of playing cards cost ten guan, she felt even more confused. In her opinion, wasn't this a black shop?
"Haha, it's a bit expensive."
Nodding, Li Yuanjia chuckled and said: "But the playing cards made by our Prince Han's Mansion are not ordinary playing cards, but luxury goods. It is natural to sell them more expensively. Anyway, there are many powerful people in Chang'an City, and it is very important to them.
The money is just a small amount of money."
Li Yuanjia has no psychological barriers to making money from these people.
Anyway, if you really have no money, you will naturally not consider a deck of ten cards, but if you are willing to spend money to buy them, you will naturally not be short of money... This is a matter of fighting or suffering, and Li Yuanjia doesn't know how to do it.
Forcing anyone to buy it.
"But it's so expensive, will anyone really buy it?"
Seeing Fang Fengzhu's puzzled look, Li Yuanjia laughed and said: "Don't worry, it's just a deck of cards for ten guan. Of course it's expensive for ordinary people, but it's really nothing to some people...
