After traveling through time, she went to practice her way of making money
Chapter 329: Buying and Selling (1)
Su Shikuan noticed the disappointment on Xiao Ran's face. He quickly sat down in the seat that Su Shian had been sitting in, and said with a smile, "Xiao Ran, An An is busy now. Let me play chess with you."
"Okay, that's good." Although Xiao Ran was angry about Su Shikuan's sudden appearance, he knew that he could not offend his brother-in-law, so he could only force a smile to hide his inner dissatisfaction.
Two more days passed, and for Su Shikuan, they seemed like an eternity. He rushed around, searching for the right stall. Finally, his efforts paid off, and he found the perfect spot. It was located on the busiest and most lively street in Yangguan Town. On weekdays, this street was bustling with traffic and people, its bustling crowds filled with the atmosphere of life. And this stall, like a dazzling pearl, nestled in this bustling street, seemed destined to shine.
Fortunately, they had prepared well in advance, and the items they brought were of the type that were very durable. Even if they were delayed for a few days, the quality of the items would not be affected at all. This also made Su Shikuan feel a little relieved. After all, these items were important assets for their trip.
On his first day setting up shop, Su Shikuan appeared both cautious and excited. He meticulously arranged for Hong Chengfu and Lin Ye to bring in hot-selling items like porcelain, pottery, and silk. Each of these items embodied the meticulous work of the artisans. Whether it was the delicate and smooth porcelain, the simple and elegant pottery, or the gorgeous and vibrant silk, each exuded a unique charm. They seemed to possess a magical power that, even amidst the bustling market, attracted the inhabitants of the distant grassland tribes to purchase. With their characteristic warmth and generosity, these tribesmen offered Su Shikuan and his companions various kinds of milk lumps, ghee, and precious furs in exchange for their wares.
So, when the sun had just set, with the sunlight still shining brightly on the street, Su Shikuan and his companions had already returned to the house with a large pile of furs, some milk lumps, and ghee. This harvest was heavy, as if it carried the weight of their day's hard work and hope.
They couldn't wait to show off in front of Su Shi'an and show him what they had accomplished today. Unfortunately, Su Shi'an, Ni La, and Xiao Ran were not at home. The smiles on their faces dimmed for a moment, but were quickly replaced by anticipation.
Luo Chu said mysteriously, "Hey, An An and Young Master Xiao are out looking for a shop, and Miss Nila is also excited to go along and play."
When Su Shikuan heard the news, a faint sense of loss welled up in his heart, as if being gently tugged by an invisible hand. He curled his lips slightly and muttered to himself, "This is really ridiculous. There's nothing good here, why are we looking for a shop... Oh, no, I have to go find them. Luo Chu, quickly ask Mrs. Luo to prepare some delicious food. We've made a lot of money today!"
"Well, young master, don't worry, I will definitely convey your words to my wife." Luo Chu agreed respectfully, then turned and walked towards his wife, explaining Su Shikuan's request in detail.
Su Shi'an, Xiao Ran, Tana, and the others followed the local brokers along the way, wandering through the various rental properties like curious children, as if searching for a rare treasure. It wasn't that they were deliberately demanding, but the so-called "shops" they found were too simple, just empty rooms, lacking even the basic shelves for storing goods. This inevitably left them feeling a little disappointed.
However, they remained undeterred, maintaining their composure. They simply didn't want their hard-earned goods to be left lying around, for customers to choose from, as if they had lost their dignity. Time passed slowly as they anxiously waited, until the fiery sun was about to set, when they finally saw a glimmer of light and found a shop that caught their eye.
Entering the shop, Su Shian and the others immediately sensed a unique atmosphere. The owner was clearly someone with a unique perspective on life and a particular pursuit. From the remaining paintings on the shop's walls to the placement of dusty items, everything exuded a sense of refinement and sophistication.
The wooden shelves, in particular, caught their eye. Two were meticulously crafted from precious sandalwood, their delicate texture and unique color revealing its noble quality. The rest were mostly made of common camphorwood. While not as gorgeous as sandalwood, they exuded a light woody fragrance that was exceptionally refreshing and pleasant.
These shelves were cleverly divided into three layers, each designed to maximize space without appearing overcrowded. Su Shian took one look and felt as if these shelves were tailor-made for his goods. Their presence would give his merchandise a whole new brilliance.
Su Shi'an thought the top shelf would be a good place to display jewelry with Wei Dynasty characteristics, with exquisite rouge and powder placed in the middle, and comfort treasures wrapped in coarse cloth placed below. This arrangement would also make it easier for customers to choose and understand the goods themselves.
The shop looked as if it had been weathered by time. The old wooden door was covered in mottled marks, as if every scratch told a story. The plaster on the walls had peeled in places, revealing the rough brickwork underneath, as if to show the vicissitudes of life it had endured. Yet, even so, compared to the more dilapidated shops on this street, it was considered quite good. After all, this Yangguan area was too dangerous, often raided by grassland tribes. Few people were willing to spend money on beautiful and spacious houses, let alone a temporary shop.
Seeing that none of them spoke for a long time, the broker felt anxious, so he couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Sir, ladies, what do you think of this shop?" He had been busy with everyone for most of the day. If they couldn't rent a suitable shop in the end, their family would probably face the dilemma of starvation for the next two days.
