Main Text Chapter 796 Hot Sale
The second manager frowned and his voice sank, "Just what? Is there any other condition? Or are you afraid of shortchanging you?"
Miao Yi shook his head and said, "The second manager is overthinking. It is a blessing for our shop to work for Madam, but I am afraid that our shop will soon be closed, and there is no chance to work for Madam. Because our shop has been in some trouble recently, someone is forcing us to close down."
It would be strange if he didn't take the opportunity to complain.
Madam Bi Yue said, "Who did you offend?"
Miao Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Huangfu Jun'an from the Hall of Heroes! It was because Commander Xiahou bought a piece of jewelry from our shop at a high price. Huangfu Jun'an forced our shop to take back the jewelry at the original price. He only gave us three days, and it will expire tomorrow. If we can't do it, the shopkeeper Huangfu said that we can't open our shop anymore."
Xiahou Longcheng, who had his back to the pavilion, slowly turned his head and looked speechless.
Madam Biyue and the second steward looked at each other, and then looked at Xiahou Longcheng. They obviously understood the reason and couldn't help laughing.
"Lanxiang, go back and say hello to Huangfu. People are doing business in Tianjie. One is willing to sell and the other is willing to buy. It's unreasonable to implicate the shop if you are unhappy. If this continues, who will dare to do business in Tianjie? Do you have to check the background of anyone before selling things to them?" Madam Biyue said with a smile.
"Yes!" The second steward agreed. Lanxiang was her name.
"Bring the pen and ink." Madam Biyue ordered.
The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were quickly put on the table. The fox in her arms was handed to someone else. Madam Biyue picked up the pen herself and asked, "Is it called Zhengqi Grocery Store?"
"Yes!" Lanxiang nodded.
Madam Biyue dipped her pen in ink and wrote the five beautiful characters "Zhengqi Grocery Store" on the white paper. It was very eye-catching. The pen signed the name and it was completed in one go.
A bit like Huo Lingxiao... Miao Yi just muttered in his heart. Lanxiang, the chief steward, had already sent Madam Biyue's inscription over. Miao Yi hurriedly thanked her and was really happy. With this inscription in hand, as long as it does not violate the law and discipline, who dares to mess with the Zhengqi Grocery Store in Tianjie. Lest someone threaten to close the store at any time.
He wondered whether he should learn to write inscriptions from others in the future, but when compared with the words in front of him, Master Miao immediately gave up the idea, because his words were really not good enough.
Miao Yi gave the inscription to Taoist Master Deming and said on the spot: "Make a golden signboard and hang it up immediately."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Taoist Master Deming agreed repeatedly and was also very happy.
There were no people here to stay, and it was not a place for them to stay for a long time, so they were dismissed.
When the three were about to leave the palace. Second Manager Lan Xiang chased after him and waved to Xia Hou Long Cheng, "You go back first."
After Xia Hou Long Cheng left, Lan Xiang took out a storage ring and handed it to him, "This is the money for Madam to buy things."
Miao Yi hurriedly postponed, "No, no, Madam's inscription is a priceless treasure. It is a blessing for our store that Madam likes a few pieces of jewelry. Just consider it as a little tribute from our store."
"Take it, Madam will not take advantage of this." Lan Xiang insisted on ordering him to accept it. Then reminded: "Niu Youde, remember, don't buy cheap things for the set of things prepared for Madam. It must be good, money is not a problem."
"I've remembered it." Miao Yi nodded repeatedly.
Lan Xiang handed over another token with his backhand, "Take this token, Madam, you can come to me directly after you finish the set of jewelry. Remember to send new jewelry here for Madam to see first, understand?"
"I understand, I understand." Miao Yi agreed again and again, obviously. The inscription was not in vain.
"Let's go!" Lan Xiang threw down a sentence and was about to leave.
"Second Chief Steward!" Miao Yi called her and took out the exquisite wooden box. He opened it in front of her, "Second Chief Steward, take a look. See if there is anything you like. I hope you will give us a chance to express your feelings."
Lan Xiang smiled and didn't say anything. She turned the wooden box page by page, picked out five or six pieces of jewelry she liked and put them away, then asked, "How much?"
"If you bring up the matter of money again, we won't dare to come again." Miao Yi was serious.
Lan Xiang nodded and smiled. She had already said that she was expressing her feelings. She just mentioned it casually. She didn't say much or thank you. She nodded to the palace maid who was leading the way and motioned to take the two out.
As soon as he left the guard palace, Miao Yi immediately took the storage ring to see how much money the other party gave. It was a huge pile. He counted it and it was 10 million red crystals. On average, Madam Bi Yue took about 50 pieces and left. Almost one piece cost 200,000 red crystals, which was almost double the normal price.
The storage ring was handed over to Taoist Master Deming, who was the owner of the Zhengqi Grocery Store. The purchase and sale of goods had to be recorded in the account. Taoist Master Deming couldn't help but praise after seeing it: "Madam is really generous." He felt at ease with the money.
"Let's go! Go to Dongcheng District, there is someone more generous than Madam."
Miao Yi called out and led Taoist Master Deming straight to the Commander's Mansion in Dongcheng District, where he met Commander Kou Wenlan.
Needless to say, a box of jewelry was spread out in front of Kou Wenlan. Kou Wenlan ordered people to serve tea to the two of them, and he stood in front of the box and slowly selected.
Not only did Kou Wenlan's eyes light up when he saw these jewelry, he even brought out a mirror to compare it with himself, and when the woman's hairpin was inserted into her head, she also made a self-pitying gesture.
This action made Miao Yi's cheeks swell quickly, and the tea in his mouth almost spit out, which was a chill.
The teacups in the hands of Miao Yi and Taoist Deming were put back on the coffee table almost in unison. The two looked at each other, a little afraid to touch the things here again. The tea they drank in their stomachs wanted to be forced out by magic.
Retribution! Miao Yi laughed wildly in his heart, Huangfu Junyi actually had two strange and die-hard suitors, one was like a bear, and the other could make people get goosebumps, even worse than that woman.
Kou Wenlan carefully selected five pieces of jewelry, and as expected, he kept his promise. He said he would give twice as much as Xiahou Longcheng, but he actually gave him twice as much. The five pieces of jewelry actually cost 100 million red crystals.
As soon as they left the Dongcheng District Commander's Office, Miao Yi and Taoist Priest Deming took a deep breath, looked at each other, and couldn't figure out why such a good-looking man would act in such a way that neither man nor woman could act like a man.
"Commander Xiahou has a bad temper." Walking on the street, Taoist Master Deming suddenly felt something.
The implication is that compared with the commander of Dongcheng District, he prefers to deal with Xiahou Longcheng, and he really can't stand the one just now.
"Yeah!" Miao Yi also nodded, but then he thought it was wrong and cursed: "This one is better. That bastard Xiahou owes us five million, and he took a few pieces of jewelry from us for free today. I guess There’s no going back.”
Taoist Priest Deming was silent, sighed and shook his head.
The next day, a gold-covered plaque inscribed by Mrs. Biyue was hung on the lintel of Zhengqi Grocery Store.
At the same time, the listing announced that the treasure of the store has arrived and will be sold today.
As soon as this notice came out, Zhengqi Grocery Store became very popular, and people who had never seen it rushed in to have a look.
However, only a moment after the items were put out, the clerk in the store announced loudly, "Everyone, stop crowding, today's goods are sold out."
Immediately some dissatisfied guests inside shouted: "Are you kidding me? I've been waiting for a few days, but as soon as I walked in, it was gone. What the hell are you doing?"
"Damn it, I've been waiting for a few days, trying to buy something to please my mother-in-law, but the wait was in vain. They said when it would be available, right? I don't have time to waste it here all the time!"
The waiter shouted: "Only five items are sold a day, if you want it, please line up early tomorrow!"
There was an immediate rebuke in the store, with some bad-tempered people banging things in the store.
"You'd better not make trouble. It's not fun to provoke the heavenly soldiers to enforce the law." The man warned loudly.
After groping in the shop for a while, the disciples of the Zhengqi Sect gradually gained some experience in dealing with it.
The girls who came to Tianxianglou after hearing the news returned empty-handed one by one, and found Xu's mother to complain about their grievances.
Mother Xu immediately rushed over to find Miao Yi, "Niu Youde, you promised me to notify me here first when you have the goods."
Miao Yi sighed: "Did Huangfu Junyan leave? I'm not sure whether she left or not, so I don't dare to go look for you."
This neither soft nor hard nail made Xu's mother speechless, who knew she was in the wrong. Finally, she said: "I don't care, my girl from Tianxianglou will use it when she goes out to perform. You must sell me a few pieces today."
"Yes! Mother Xu has already talked to this point, what else can I say, but I must declare in advance that you cannot publicize that you bought it through the back door."
"I know, I know, don't worry, I won't tell you."
Miao Yi sighed and put out twenty items for her to choose from, but only five items. He said that this was all the goods had for the time being, so he imposed a sales limit.
Mother Xu picked five items, dropped the money and left with satisfaction.
The shops in Tianjie are not like ordinary people. They are open day and night. Some people simply stay in the shops. If this continues, the shops will be crowded with people and it will be impossible to do business. If this continues, something will happen sooner or later.
Zhengqi Store was forced to set up a stone pillar outside the door as a designated ranking point. People who wanted to buy the store's treasures lined up here. The store would give out a sign to the top five people every day, and those who got the sign could enter. Go inside and buy the five items that are limited to sale every day.
As a result, another spectacle appeared outside Zhengqi Grocery Store. People who queued up to get the brand were immediately blocked and made bids. One brand was so speculated that it was more expensive than the jewelry sold inside, worth 300,000 red crystals.
This matter is due to Kou Wenlan. Kou Wenlan bought five pieces of jewelry for 100 million red crystals and gave them to Huangfu Junyi. This has once again caused a sensation in the entire Tianjie. The reputation of Zhengqi Grocery Store’s jewelry has invisibly increased again. Those dignitaries The women at home would be too embarrassed to go out without a piece of jewelry from a decent grocery store.
If the woman at home is unhappy, how can the man live a good life? First of all, he can't even think about peace and quiet. However, the jewelry in the Zhengqi grocery store is in short supply. The sign hanging at the door is inscribed by Mrs. Biyue. On Tianjie. No one dared to be aggressive yet, so they could only find a way to get people to get the ranked purchase brands at Zhengqi Grocery Store. (To be continued)
