Chapter 390: Clearing the Place to Receive Guests
"That won't do! You can't buy things without paying! Xingyun, please ask the shopkeeper to calculate it carefully. We came here with money!"
Besides, Sanmao has already agreed that he will buy all these for us. If we don’t bring enough money, it doesn’t matter. We can just go to his house and get it.”
Old Mrs. Yang said with a firm face that she always believed that buying and selling should be clear and explicit.
After hearing what the old lady said, Qi Xingyun nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Old Lady Yang meant.
Then, he turned his gaze to Yun Liu who was standing beside him. Yun Liu nodded in understanding as soon as he saw the look in his master's eyes.
Then, Yun Liu looked at the shopkeeper and said slowly, "Since the old lady insists on paying the silver, then shopkeeper, you should calculate the cost price for her. I think one hundred taels should be about right."
When Old Lady Yang and Mrs. Li heard this, their hearts trembled and they couldn't help but look at each other.
My goodness, the cost price alone is one hundred taels! If it is sold at the market price, wouldn’t it be extremely expensive?
The two couldn't help but secretly smack their lips, and at the same time recalled what Xiao Cao'er had said to them a few years ago - it's easy to make money from women!
At this moment, a strange expression appeared on the shopkeeper's face.
After hearing the price quoted by Yun Liu, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, and he muttered to himself: One hundred taels? What a joke! When did the cost of jewelry in our shop become so low? This is simply a business that loses a lot of money!
Although I was thinking this in my heart, I quickly responded, "Okay! Please wait a moment, I will write you a detailed list. If there is any problem with the jewelry, you can bring it back to our shop to repair it."
After saying that, the shopkeeper turned around and walked quickly to the back of the counter, took out paper and pen from the drawer, and began to write seriously.
They were indeed professionals. Not long after, the shopkeeper handed Yuexi a densely written list and carefully explained to them the specific content and precautions of each item.
They all stood up and prepared to go out.
Qi Xingyun stood up from his seat and walked towards Old Lady Yang. He wanted to help Old Lady Yang, but he didn't expect that Yun Liu was one step faster than him.
Yun Liu quickly came to Old Lady Yang's side, carefully held her arm, and then said with a smile and a soft voice: "Old Lady, you see, this is your first time in our shop. I'm sorry to have cost you money."
"When we get to the cloth shop, I will definitely introduce some high-quality fabrics to the old lady, and then ask them to give you a cheaper price." Yun Liu said with a smile on his face.
"Okay, okay, that's really too much trouble for you! I really know nothing about these fabrics and things like that. You are knowledgeable and have been to so many places. You must explain it to me in detail."
As Old Lady Yang spoke, she tightly grasped Yun Liu's arm and slowly got into the carriage.
The jewelry I just bought had been carefully moved to the carriage by the silver shop's staff and was neatly arranged.
Because of the presence of the little girl Xiaocao'er, Qi Xingyun, as a man, was not convenient to ride in the same carriage with them, so they split into two carriages.
Soon, the carriage stopped steadily in front of the cloth shop. Yun Liu got off the carriage swiftly, ran to the other side, and helped Old Lady Yang get off the carriage.
This cloth shop is quite large, but the interior is deserted. There is not a single customer in sight. The few employees are still in good spirits and are chatting inside.
Old Mrs. Yang looked up at the spacious and empty shop and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
She subconsciously pulled Yun Liu beside her, stopped, and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Liu, this shop is so big, how come there is not even a single customer? Is it because the reputation here is not very good? Otherwise, we should look for another shop."
"Don't worry, old lady. This shop is ours. Our master ordered the shop to be cleared out to receive you, the distinguished guests, because we are afraid that the unpleasant things like what happened just now will happen again." Yun La patted Old Lady Yang's hand and explained.
"Oh my, how can this be possible? We are not allowed to buy things just for a few of us. This will delay our earning money!" Old Mrs. Yang said in surprise.
This was the first time for Old Lady Yang and her friends to enjoy the special reception service.
"Making money is a small matter. The most important thing is not to disturb you, old lady, from making your choice." Yun Liu said.
The owner of the cloth shop was a woman in her thirties. When she saw Yun Liu coming in with an old lady, she was about to greet them when she saw her master walking at the back.
An hour ago, the master sent someone to tell her that the place needed to be cleared to receive the distinguished guests. She thought they were distinguished guests from the palace, but she didn't expect them to be these ordinary-looking people.
But she didn't dare to think too much. Anyone who could be called a distinguished guest by the master must be someone the master valued.
Yun Liu no longer cared about his master, because he knew that as long as he served the old lady and the girl well, the master would not care about these etiquettes.
"Boss, come, come, come, take out all the good materials in the store for the old lady to choose." Yun Liu said to the shopkeeper.
