Arbor Siluo Depend on Each Other Chapter 48

  Chapter 48 Spending money like running water

   "I want to buy a lot of cotton, you can make the decision."

  Sun Mei understood what Qiao Yi meant, and she wanted to bargain.

"How much do you want to buy?"

   "More than two hundred catties."

"so much?"

  Sun Mei was surprised. There was only about 400 catties of cotton in their shop. What did this eldest sister do with so much cotton?

   "Well, I bought quite a lot, so the price is a bit expensive."

   "Wait a minute, I'll go find the shopkeeper."

  Although Sun Mei wanted to earn some extra money, she couldn't decide on such a large business.

  Joe wandered around the store, and she fell in love with several colors, sky blue, sky blue, and navy blue.

   These three colors are not too obvious, and they are not easy to get dirty. They also look elegant and quiet when worn, and can be worn by both men and women.

   As for the color of the quilt cover, Joey decided to choose some brightly colored horses.

   Also make two sets and replace the covers.

  At this moment, a woman in a satin dress with an elegant complexion came over.

   "Hello, I am the shopkeeper here. My name is Sun Min."

"Hello."

  Seeing Qiao Yi staring at him curiously, Sun Min couldn't help laughing: "She is my niece, and she is here to help me sell goods."

  Hearing what Sun Min said, Qiao Yi was stunned, and she said why the two look alike, they are relatives.

   "Hello shopkeeper Sun, I have a lot of things to buy, a lot, I wonder if you can make them cheaper?"

   There is not much time left, and she has to buy some grain pork, so she can't delay here for too long.

   "How about a 20% discount?"

  If Qiao Yi really buys a lot, then even with a 20% discount, she will still make a lot of money.

  Qiao Yi silently calculated in her heart, if it is 20% off, it is really good, and it can save a lot of money.

   "OK, how are these cloths sold?"

  Joy pointed to the cloth in his picture.

   "The ones here are all two hundred cash, and the ones here are five hundred cash. This kind of silk is one tael of silver."

   Shopkeeper Sun pointed to the cloth with clear divisions in his house.

  As for the more expensive ones, she didn't say anything.

  She has a good eye for seeing people, Qiao Yi will not buy more expensive ones, one tael of silver per horse, and she will buy them without seeing them.

  Joy did the math, the quilt he made was big, and a piece of cloth would definitely not be enough to make a quilt cover.

   Then the rest can be made into clothes.

   "Sky blue, sky blue, purple, and this beige, two of the same. Nine for the chestnut one, nine for the navy blue one, two for the white one, and two for the black one."

  Joy chose two hundred cash a piece of cloth, which is enough to make sheets and bedding.

  Among them, maroon ones are used as mattress covers, and darker colors are better.

  The rest of the colors are used for quilt covers.

  The cloth of five hundred wen is mostly brighter in color.

   Two sets of quilt covers and mattress covers can't choose the same color, right?

   Thinking that Mu Qing and the others might like brighter colors, Qiao Yi gritted his teeth and bought four bright colors, two of each.

   "Boss Sun, I need two hundred and fifty catties of cotton."

   While Qiao Yi was talking, Sun Min was making calculations.

   "Thirty-eight horses for two hundred wen, eight four for five hundred wen, two hundred and fifty catties of cotton, do you need anything else?"

   "I bought so much, you moldy cotton cloth, can you make it cheaper?"

   Without these cotton cloths for the quilt lining, she still needs a lot of money to buy them.

   "There are thirty-two pieces of moldy cotton cloth in total. Considering how much you bought, I'll sell you ten cents a piece."

  Sun Min said in a big way.

  These moldy cloths take up space and affect other cloths as well.

  If Sun Mei hadn't stopped her, she would have thrown away Curry's moldy cloth long ago.

   "Five articles."

   Qiao Yi glanced at Sun Mei, smiled a little vaguely at Sun Mei, and then looked at Sun Min.

   "Auntie, this eldest sister has bought so much, you should sell it, and it will take up space if you keep it."

  Sun Mei was taken aback by Qiao Yi's look, and immediately asked to help.

  Don't let your aunt know about her keeping money privately.

  Sun Min hesitated, but nodded in agreement.

  Having five articles is better than throwing them away.

  As for the last time Qiao Yi bought moldy and faded cloth, Sun Min didn't know about it, because all the money went into Sun Mei's pocket.

   "Thank you, shopkeeper, let's settle the accounts. That's right. I bought so many of these things, I wonder if they will be delivered?"

   "Send it, definitely send it."

  Although the price was cheaper, she did earn a lot.

   "Thank you so much."

  Joy smiled and thanked.

"Thirty-eight bolts of 200 Wen, a total of 7,600 Wen, and eight horses of 500 Wen, a total of 4,000 Wen. Two hundred and fifty catties of cotton, thirty Wen per catty, a total of 7,500 Wen, there are thirty-two bolts of moldy cloth, five Wen each, a total of 160 Wen, you can give 150 Wen. The total is 20,600 Wen, a 20% discount, a total of 160 Wen Sixteen thousand four hundred and eighty characters."

   Once calculated, it turned out to be four liang of silver cheaper, and Sun Min regretted it very much.

  But the words have already been spoken, if she repents, the business will be impossible.

   I feel distressed, so I can only endure it.

   "This colored thread, cotton thread and needle..."

   "You give me sixteen, two, five hundred cash, and I'm giving you twenty strands of cotton thread, five needles, and two sets of colored thread."

   Now Sun Min is in great pain, and just wants to get Qiao Yi out quickly.

  I thought in my heart that there will be no discount next time.

   "Thank you very much."

   Qiao Yi readily paid seventeen taels of silver, after which Sun Min retrieved Qiao Yi's five hundred taels.

   Qiaoyi looked at the five hundred essays in his hand, and smiled wryly in his heart.

  I paid back eighteen taels of silver just now, but in the end there were only one, two, or five hundred taels left.

   And their family has a lot to spend money on.

  Sun Min took the money, then turned around and went to the counter, saying "out of sight, out of mind".

  Qiao Yi is also a man who knows how to behave. Seeing that Sun Min didn't look at this side, he quickly grabbed a large handful of copper coins from the five hundred coins in his hand. Without counting, I handed it to Sun Min.

   "Thank you for your hard work, please help me deliver the things home."

   Originally, Sun Mei complained in her heart, but she didn't expect Qiao Yi to be so good at doing things.

   directly grabbed a lot of copper coins for her.

   Accepting the copper coins without a trace, Sun Mei had a smile on her face.

"This is my duty."

  He weighed the copper coin in his hand, and estimated that there must be at least a hundred and eighty cash.

   There are many benefits of giving money.

   Sun Mei was busy all by herself. No need for Joey at all.

  After loading everything into the carriage, Sun Mei got into the carriage, and Qiao Yi sat on the side.

   "Please go to the grain store first, I have no grain at home, and I have to buy some more pork."

"no problem."

  Sun Mei readily responded.

   This cannibal has a short mouth and short hands, and now Sun Mei is quite easy to talk to.

  Qiao Yi didn't buy much food this time. He bought 50 catties of yellow noodles, 50 catties of this year's new broken rice, and 50 catties of soybeans.

  By the way, I bought another five catties of coarse salt.

  Salt is restricted in this dynasty, and each person can buy up to five catties of salt.

   After buying the salt, Qiao Yi bought some big bones and pig offal, and also bought two pieces of pork, weighing as much as five catties.

  Passing by the grocery store, Joey bought ten more round, flat-bottomed dustpans.

   At this time, Qiao Yi had less than one tael of silver in his hand.

   This really corresponds to that sentence, spending money like water.

   "Go to Tianxiang Restaurant first."

"Um."

  Sun Mei responded, and then went straight to Tianxiang Restaurant with the carriage.
