Chapter 2085 (1/2)
The manager of the fur shop of Yongsheng business is a man with a good appearance in his 30s.
Seeing their clothes, the shopkeeper knew in his mind, ”what kind of leather do you want to sell?”
First, take out the six ordinary animal skins. Please give me the price.
The shopkeeper looked carefully and said, ”I'll give you two hundred and sixty Liang silver at most for these six skins.”
The price is double that of the town.
Tiekui saw that the price of the shopkeeper was still quite fair. He lowered his voice and said, ”we also have a white tiger skin.”
The shopkeeper is not surprised at all. The ability to be a shopkeeper is not comparable to ordinary people. When he saw tie Kui with the basket on his back and didn't put it down, he knew that there must be something good in it: ”please come inside.” This tiger skin is good to sell but not easy to get, so it has always been priceless.
Entering the small room, the Iron Tiger took off the basket and took out the skin of the tiger which was wrapped tightly inside.
After the tiger skin is spread out, the shopkeeper nods in secret. Tiger skin is hard to find, and white tiger skin is hard to find for thousands of miles. This tiger skin is well preserved and handled, with almost no defects.
Tiekui asked, ”shopkeeper, give me a price!”
The shopkeeper said after a moment of meditation, ”two hundred sixty-two.” Two hundred sixty-two is a lot of money for ordinary people.
Tiekui smelt the words and smiled: ”shopkeeper, you bully me and never see the world. Such a good white tiger skin is worth at least 1, 340 Liang silver in the capital. ” He had a classmate's brother who had a garment made of tiger skin. The tiger skin was far worse than this one, and it would cost eight hundred Liang silver.
The shopkeeper was a little surprised. He took a look at tiekui and said with a smile, ”I don't know how much it costs in the capital city, but there must be no higher price in Shengjing than we have.”
Tiekui said: ”this is our father and son in exchange for their lives, less than six hundred Liang do not sell.”
The shopkeeper was not angry. He asked all the prices to pay back: ”from here to the capital, I won't say the freight, labor and pavement fees. It's just that bandits have been rampant all the way. How dare you sell tiger skin in the capital? Even if you get a high price in the capital, you may not get home safely. ”
”Two hundred sixty-two must not be sold. It's too low. We really want to sell it. You can give us a real price. ”
The two haggled, and finally the shopkeeper said, ”three hundred and sixty-two at most, which is the highest price I can offer. Little brother, if we have more, we won't make much money. ” There must be some profits, but they will be less than expected.
Tiekui is still feeling low, but he also knows that the buyers are holding down their prices. Go to another house, not necessarily more than here.
After thinking about it, tiekui asked: ”Dad, he said that he would pay up to 362 silver. Dad, what do you think? ”
this tiger skin is only one hundred and thirty-four Liang silver at most in the town. Now it can be sold to 362, almost three times more than that in the town. There is no reason why iron tiger does not agree: ”yes.”
At this time, someone outside said, ”shopkeeper, the goods have been loaded.”
Hearing this, tiekui suddenly put in a word: ”shopkeeper, I don't know where to send this batch of goods?”
”The capital.”
Smell speech, tie Kui eye twinkling: ”shopkeeper, we happen to be going home, can you give us a ride?”
”Rent a carriage. It's only five days from here to Anshan. Our caravan is slow. It will take ten days to arrive. ” Tiekui said a pure Mandarin, and the shopkeeper couldn't find out where he was. But as soon as Iron Tiger spoke, he knew that the father and son were from Anshan.
Tiekui said with a smile: ”it costs 20 Liang silver to rent a carriage from here to Anshan. Our whole family's chewing for a year is no more than 45 Liang silver. ”
The shopkeeper chuckled, ”I thought you were afraid of bandits!” There is no denying that the father and son are trying to save money, but they think it's more safe to follow their caravan.
”Shopkeeper, the people you do business with are not always convenient to others and yourself. Besides, I've given you such a good piece of leather. You can earn a lot of money. ”
The shopkeeper thought tiekui was very interesting. He didn't look like a child at all. He then asked with a smile, ”they are going to start soon. Don't catch up with them.”
”Yes.”
At a young age, he is not only intelligent but also knows how to move forward and backward. He has great eyesight. He must be a character when he grows up. Therefore, the shopkeeper is willing to sell tiekui a good: ”this money, are you going to want silver or silver?”
Tiekui said, ”give us thirty-five liang of gold, thirty liang of silver and six liang of silver.” Although I went back with the caravan, it was too eye-catching to bring so much silver.
The shopkeeper was very thorough. He gave thirty-five gold ingots of one or two weights and three silver ingots of ten or two weights. The silver coins were packed in a blue bag.
”In the future, there will be good leather, and I hope you can send it to us to ensure a fair price.”
Tie Kui said with his hands clasped: ”sure.”
Later, the shopkeeper took his father and son and said something about the caravan. The leader glanced at them and said, ”follow our orders on the way, or I will drive you out at any time.”
Tiekui said hurriedly, ”this is nature.”
Yongsheng is very famous. Every time their caravan delivers goods, they are escorted. Let alone ordinary bandits. Even famous bandits dare not touch them.
