Chapter 59 Chapter 59
Zhang Fangyuan greeted the customers who bought meat unhurriedly, and then he looked at the young man who came.
Who sent you here?
The little guy looked at Zhang Fangyuan's sharp gaze, and didn't dare to lie: It's Jiuniang, I want to find Brother Zhang's way and buy a bottle of fragrance.
Hearing such a result, Zhang Fangyuan couldn't help but frowned. He thought it would be someone else looking for a purchase, so that he could bid for it. After all, he underestimated the fighting spirit of these women, and when he got something good, he would not tell others where it came from so easily. This made his business not so easy to do.
He said, That's something she can afford.
The little guy hurriedly said: Jiu Niang said the price is easy to negotiate, I just hope Brother Zhang don't make things difficult.
Five thousand Wen. Zhang Fangyuan said confidently, She wants me to sell favors to her.
The little guy didn't say much, but immediately took out five taels of silver, very refreshing. The clerk is straightforward, after all, he is not the one who really pays the money, and he only needs to do the errands well.
Zhang Fangyuan took the money and immediately took a bottle of Xianglu to the guy. With a smile on his lips, he made a small profit of 4,980 Wen.
He has seen the level of spending of these women in flower houses. Some people spend a lot of money on them, so they naturally spend a lot of money.
Hualou was originally a rotten golden nest. These Hualou people don't have much to spend when they go out for a leisurely stroll on weekdays, so the money in hand is naturally used with all their strength to spend on Luo Qi's silk yarn, gold and silver jewelry, spices and cosmetics.
But not everyone has such a big hand, there are rich and poor in the village, high and low, flower houses are also divided into levels, it seems that the top girls who can make free and generous shots are those who are at the bottom or old and depraved. It is also necessary to live a tight life.
But like Yin Jiuniang, Zhang Fangyuan looked at the little guy who ran back to work, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he should kill casually.
Don't blame him for being a lion, the boy went back and handed the rose water to Yin Jiuniang, and reported the account again.
Yin Jiuniang was obsessed with watching the rose water happily, and before she could be happy in the future, she couldn't help scolding her when she heard the price: If you put this far away, why don't you steal the money!
The little guy scratched his head: The little one doesn't dare to bargain with Brother Zhang, he has to give as much as he says, for fear of messing things up for the girl.
Forget it, someone must have returned the old lady's blood. Yin Jiuniang waved off the little man, looking at the crude scented dew bottle, which is just a very ordinary or even poor quality ceramic, she can't help but feel disgusted, it makes people feel that the scented dew is also A bargain. She turned around and transferred the dew into a small glass bottle, and immediately the rose water was shining brightly in the bottle, which looked quite valuable.
She raised the corners of her lips, and turned to go to Miss Wanxia's room at the other end of Yunliang Pavilion.
Good sister, this is really a good thing.
My things are not bad, and my sister is the only one, otherwise I would really be reluctant to take them out, and my sister should save some effort, this fragrance is hard to come by.
Good sister, I'll follow your arrangement. Wan Xia said kindly, I don't know how much this fragrance is worth, but I can't take my sister for nothing.
Yin Jiuniang sneered in her heart, you just want to take it for nothing and I won't give it to you: The price is not high, it's just a piece of satin that my sister usually pays, so I will give you ten taels of silver. The friendship between us two sisters is No need to see outside.
That Wanxia twitched the corners of her mouth indiscriminately, why didn't you grab it!
But I am really happy with this fragrance, even though it is a bit more expensive, it is not to the point where I can't afford it, so I generously gave the money.
Yin Jiuniang was full of smiles, earning 5,000 Wen with tears in her blood.
With the same fragrant dew, the oiran's top card, it quickly became a market, but within a few days, Yin Jiuniang's people approached Zhang Fangyuan again.
My pork is not sold as fast as your girl's perfume. Is it because I have so much money that I have to burn it all, so I poured it all out to take a bath?
The young man said: Who dares to talk about the girl's affairs, maybe this fragrance is too good, so I use it more frequently.
Zhang Fangyuan stared straight at the boy, making his heart shudder, but before the boy asked for forgiveness, he asked the price first: The things are good, and the prices have all increased. This time it costs 8,000 Wen.
Ah! The boy exclaimed, This, this
Do you want love or not?
The boy scratched his head and scratched his head: I'm just afraid that the price will rise so fast, the girl thinks I'm cheating.
What are you frying? You can go back and ask her before buying. Anyway, the price is one day. Do you want to follow your girls?
To be on the safe side, the young man decided to go back and ask his superiors what he meant, otherwise if he was asked to post money, he would lose a lot of money.
Zhang Fangyuan was not in a hurry, he ate slowly in the afternoon, seeing that he was still coming, he put his feet up on the recliner and dozed off, and returned later.
Brother Zhang, our girl wants to buy you a drink.
Zhang Fangyuan took off the big cattail fan that covered his face, squinted at the little guy, gave a light snort, and asked the stall manager to keep an eye on the stall for him, and followed the guy to Yunliang Pavilion.
In the afternoon, the building was packed and ready to open for business. The early guests had already heard the play in the middle hall, and the backyard was also full of noisy sounds. Yunliang Pavilion serves food and wine for guests. In the afternoon, the street at the back door of the building is full of fragrance. Many hawkers who sell things will gather here, thinking that the building can take away the leftover vegetables.
The cooks in the building sometimes buy it, after all, at this time, the hawkers are eager to sell their things and go out of the city, and the prices are very low.
Zhang Fangyuan is used to entering through the back door. When passing by, the alley is as lively as the women at the main entrance looking out at the street to attract customers.
When you buy something, you call the seller into the house to buy it. How many buyers can afford it?
Brother Zhang is here. Yin Jiuniang poured wine for Zhang Fangyuan: Brother Zhang is here to discuss business.
Zhang Fangyuan refused the wine because he guessed what Yin Jiuniang meant, otherwise he wouldn't have made this trip.
Just tell me what you have, you know I don't like to slip around.
Yin Jiuniang also had this intention, after all, she had to put up a sign to pick up the guests later, so she said, How much fragrant dew is there on hand, Brother Zhang, please sell it to me.
Zhang Fangyuan raised his eyebrows: Let the buddy pick it up first and then sell it to someone else.
Yin Jiuniang smiled and said nothing.
If Zhang Fangyuan didn't care about this business, he wouldn't be able to come.
I still have twenty bottles of fragrant dew here. You can ask for a price to see. Zhang Fangyuan changed hands and wanted to pour a cup of tea, but when he thought about where it was, he suddenly put the tea back. The incompleteness of edible and usable things is due to the addition of some ingredients.
Brother Zhang, for the sake of the friendship we have known for many years, I will give you a little margin for the price difference. Seeing that my youth is gone, I can't stay in the building for many years. After you leave, there will be talented people in this building. Count them all. It's a bright face, so Jiuniang is not as good as before. She also thought that she had saved money in the past few years, redeemed herself and went to a small place that no one knows to buy some land to live on.
Zhang Fangyuan squinted his eyes, remembering that the ordinary man was quite moved after hearing such words, and it was a waste of money to be sympathetic if he didn't agree. But who called him Zhang Fangyuan? He has stayed in this building for a long time, and he has heard too many such words, but any young man who is a prostitute will say this.
He patted the back of his hand to signal Yin Jiuniang to stop: Come on, everyone is still busy with business. Why waste all this talk, quickly make a price and both parties will take it if it is suitable. If it is not suitable, there will be some friendship.
Yin Jiuniang rolled her eyes, and heard An San'er say that this person is different from before when they get married. How is this different? Still not the same.
Let's put it all together, one hundred taels.
You change hands and go out and turn one hundred taels upside down. You haven't read the book, but the abacus is slipping.
Zhang Fangyuan said: One hundred and five.
Brother Zhang~ Yin Jiuniang couldn't help being coquettish: Brother thinks that Jiuniang is asking for a lot of money, but you have to ask someone to buy it, isn't it? If the price is too high, it's not easy to sell!
One hundred twenty.
Zhang Fangyuan was selectively deaf, and only listened to the asking price, not the words from the side: deal.
Yin Jiuniang: Hasty.
At noon two days later, pay with one hand and deliver with the other.
Can't tomorrow?
Brother Zhang, you have to give two days to raise money.
Zhang Fangyuan shook his head, how come this business has not even saved a hundred taels for so many years.
But he didn't say anything, and stood up: Brother Dafang, then you won't be charged for the bottle that was given to you earlier.
I have read countless men, and I have never met two wonderful men like you.
Zhang Fangyuan went out from Yunliang Pavilion, walking briskly, thinking that he would bring Brother He to withdraw money in two days, and the two of them could have a good time again.
Brother He, I have something to tell you, you have to take it to heart.
Xu He had been busy for a day, and he relaxed later on, making sauce for a man from the village who came to buy sauce.
That husband was not very old, probably three or five years older than Xu He, and he looked around in the tea shed, envy almost overflowing in his eyes. Seeing Xu He coming in and out like a boss here again, he sighed and admired.
At first, Xu He, who was like a mountain monkey in the dark village, never imagined that he would live such a happy and radiant life after marrying, and the man built a tea shed for him to manage. How can there be such a good girl and brother in the village? Fate is coming.
On the bank of the village field ridge and river, everyone in the group sighed.
Just listening to people say that I don't think there's anything wrong with it. It's really bitter and jealous to see people living a good life.
Xu He didn't understand what it meant: What's the matter?
You have to watch Zhang Fang far away, he's gone to Hualou again.
This word you is very subtle, and it can't help but remind people that Zhang Fangyuan often went in and out of Hualou in the past, and now the old problem has recurred.
When Xu He suddenly said this to himself, he felt a little uneasy and well-intentioned. There were many people in the village who were jealous of their family, and they wished that their family would be beaten up now. He didn't take it to heart, and said, How do you know?
My man told me. He went to sell pears outside Yunliang Pavilion today, and saw him swaggering in. There is also a coquettish guy waiting inside, who looks like the oiran in the building.
Xu He's eyebrows twitched: Your man still knows the oiran?
The little brother was dumbfounded when he was asked, and suddenly became anxious: I'll tell you kindly, why do you still say these things.
After saying that, the little brother put down the money and went away with the jar of sauce.
Ji Xu He watched the person go away, and pursed his lips.
What did he go to the Flower House for?
Didn't he tell him where the cans at home are, and they haven't been used up yet, so there's no need to buy them.
See oiran? That's not necessarily the case, the profit of the stall has to be settled every day when he comes back, how can he hook up with the oiran with the little money he has on hand?
Tsk, but... It seems that he was indeed given a large sum of money a while ago, and he insisted on keeping it with him.
