Chapter 15 (2/2)
It wasn’t because she’s lucky that she was sold here.
In her phoenix eyes, all kinds of light return to silence. She took a light breath and scolded, “That’s why I don’t want to see you. Every time you come, you make me angry.”
“I haven’t seen you for a long time. I just came here to see you.” Zhao’er kicked the stones on the ground.
“How are you doing? The Xue’s family did not embarrass you, did they? You wait. When I become the concubine of the sixth master, I will punish whoever bullies you. ”
Zhao’er can’t help leaning over and hugging Sulan’s slender waist in a coquettish way: “Sister, don’t worry, I’m so fierce, who dares to bully me. You don’t know how many strange things there are in the Xue’s family… ”
She told her about what happened recently to Xue’s family.
After hearing this, Sulan’s mouth turned straight and sneered: “So this is the human heart. Don’t test it. You will be disappointed. Don’t rely on others. Rely only on yourself.”
Sulan was a little extreme, but Zhao’er knew why. In fact, occasionally she would be extreme, but she rarely expressed it.
“Then what do you do now? If your little husband really loses, he will no longer go to school? Have you ever thought about it? It’s OK if you win, but if you lose, it’s hard for you two to stay in Xue’s family. ”
Of course, Zhao’er understood this. She stood up straight and smiled: “sister, I know that. Don’t worry. I’m going to find another way to do business. It’s no big deal. We can just move out. If Gou’er likes learning, I will support him until I can’t help him. ”
Sulan’s poked her forehead: “You’re still young! Now you are thinking about you can’t support him? The good days are waiting for you! Never mind, don’t say I don’t care about you. I knew the third manager of He Rong Sheng. Go meet him, and he will find you some way to get money.”
He Rong Sheng is a pawnshop. They have many branches in Pingyang, and there is one in Huyang Town. Zhao’er usually comes and goes in town. Naturally, she has heard the name.
“Is this the Shen family’s business? How do you know him?”
There was a subtle complexity in Sulan’s eyes. She turned impatient: “Don’t worry about it, just go find a person named Shen Ping. Well, I can stay here. The sixth master is going to have lunch later. I have to wait for him, so that those bitches won’t steal my man. ”
After a pause, she took something out of her sleeve and thrust it into Zhao’er’s hand: “take it, it doesn’t matter if he really lost. You can support him. The family school of Shen’s family is famous in Pingyang. When I married the sixth master, I will ask him to let your little husband be a study companion here. I owe you so much in my last life that I have to worry about everything. ”
Sulan soon disappeared in the door.
Zhao’er stood in place and looked down at the silver ingot in her hand. For a long time, she squeezed it and left.
Zhao’er didn’t know where He Rong Sheng was in the county. She asked many people about the way.
It’s a coincidence that the third manager named Shen Ping was here.
Shen Ping was a good-looking and mature young man. He was dressed in a dark blue upright. He looked about twenty years old, but unexpectedly he was the manager of a pawnshop.
As soon as he heard about the intention of Zhao’er, his eyes flashed: “You are Zhao’er. Your sister mentioned you.”
Zhao’er didn’t expect that sister would tell him her name. She smelled something unusual. As they spoke, Shen Ping had led her in.
“When your sister told me about you, I was thinking about what kind of business you could do for a long time. Through repeated consideration, I think it’s quite suitable for you to sell old clothes. ”
Her surprise didn’t last long, and Zhao’er’s attention was attracted by Shen Ping’s words.
“What is selling old clothes?”
“You should know what the pawnshop is for. The pawnshop accepts everything, and the pawns are divided into dead pawn and live pawn. The live pawn means that he will redeem it later, and dead pawn means he doesn’t want it back. Of course, if he do not redeem them when they are overdue, they naturally turns into dead pawns.
The shop accepts this and gives the owner money. Naturally, they need to be resold for money. Like some old clothes, we would directly transfer them to embroidery shop or garment shop. If you want to do this business, you can take some old clothes to sell. ”
Along with Shen Ping’s statement, Zhao’er’s eyes flashed again and again, asking, “what’s the price? By piece, or what? Since they are old clothes, they won’t cost as much as new ones, will they? ”
Shen Ping looked at her and said, “You are very smart.” He turned around, “Follow me, I’ll show you.”
Zhao’er followed him all the way back. The yard behind the pawnshop is very big. All of the houses looked like warehouses.
The workers they met on their way were all respectful to Shen Ping. Zhao’er followed him to a warehouse. They didn’t go in. A guy pulled a big bag of things out of the warehouse and opened it in front of the door.
This big bag was full of clothes, some of which were worn-out, or 80 to 90% new, and some were even brand-new. There are many kinds of clothes, including cotton, satin and silk, but all of them are of good quality. At least they are better than the coarse cloth on Zhao’er.
“These are usually mixed together. Since they are all received at a low price, they are not expensive. You can have them for two taels of silver.”
There’s too many clothes that Zhao’er couldn’t count. In order to make sure that she could do the business, she went up to look at it.
Such a pack of clothes, at least 100 pieces.
Even twenty cents for a dress was enough for her to earn some money. And some clothes could sell more than 20 cents depending on her visual inspection. What can twenty cents do? Making a suit will at least cost six or seven feet of cloth, and the worst cotton cloth will cost seven or eight cents per foot.
And there were even good fabrics or cotton clothes. If they were not sold, it won’t hurt to wear them yourself.
