Chapter 81 A distinguished guest arrives
Five days later, Shen Yu and Xu Zhao appeared at the door of the rare goods shop at the agreed time. With them were several soldiers disguised as ordinary people.
They followed behind, pushing a cart.
They bought a lot of things this time, and it was really difficult to take them back without a cart.
Accompanying them was Lieutenant General Wang, who had already made preparations and was currently waiting in a nearby teahouse.
It was the private room where Xu Zhao and the other two had drunk tea before. The private room had a wide view and could just see the entrance of the rare goods shop. It was indeed a good place to stake out.
The owner of the rare goods shop heard the noise at the door and glanced at the gnomon. It was almost the beginning of the hour of Wei, so it seemed that a distinguished guest was coming. He stopped what he was doing and went out to greet him.
"I'm sorry for not welcoming you, two distinguished guests." The shopkeeper stood at the door of the shop and bowed to apologize.
In ancient times, men were the breadwinners outside the home and women were the homemakers. Although Xu Zhao now followed Shen Yu out, it was inconvenient for him to speak in occasions like discussing business. He could only learn from the women of this era, act coquettishly, and add fuel to the fire.
Shen Yu waved his hand. "Shopkeeper, you're too polite. I wonder if all the things we brought are ready? How many potted flowers have you prepared?"
"My wife brought back a pot last time. She thought it looked nice, but one pot was too boring, so she asked me to buy a few more and transplant them to her yard." As he spoke, he raised his hand to touch Xu Zhao's head, smoothing down her hair. "So, boss, I'll buy as many potted plants as you prepare today."
"Look, I even brought the people who moved the flowers and the tools."
Since Xu Zhao said that the potatoes were so good, Shen Yu naturally had no doubts and bought them with a wave of his hand.
Over the years, he has guarded the border, and his brother the emperor has given him a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. In addition to his salary over the years, it is more than enough to buy this entire shop.
There were four or five people standing at the door, and the shopkeeper naturally saw them all. It was obvious that this young man really loved his wife. He cared so much about just a toy.
The shopkeeper bowed and said, "Very well, very well. Last time, when we heard about your request, our boss sent fifty pots of these flowers to our shop. Do you think that's enough?"
There are a total of fifty pots here. If they were planted in the yard, I'm afraid there would be nothing else to plant.
Even if ordinary people like it, they usually buy two or three pots to enjoy. This flower is not as rich as the peony, so it is just a novelty.
The shopkeeper thought that these fifty pots should be enough.
But Shen Yu didn't think so. After hearing Xu Zhao talk about the uses of the potatoes, Shen Yu felt that fifty basins were not enough, and even five hundred basins were far from enough.
But the shopkeeper said so, if I ask for it again rashly, it might arouse suspicion.
Shen Yu had to suppress his emotions and thanked the shopkeeper with a smile, "Fifty basins are enough. Shopkeeper, could you lead the way and let my servant go in and move them out?" As he spoke, he tilted his head slightly, and the five soldiers dressed as servants behind him walked forward.
"Please follow me," the shopkeeper turned sideways and invited Xu Zhao and Shen Yu into the store.
A group of seven people followed the shopkeeper to the backyard.
Unexpectedly, there was a backyard behind the shop, which Xu Zhao did not notice when he first came here.
In the backyard, the ground was filled with the potted plants they bought. In addition, Xu Zhao had sharp eyes and she saw two large wooden basins in the corner of the yard.
"Then we'll move these away." Shen Yu raised his hand and waved, and the five servants behind him began to move the potted plants.
Each person holds two in his hands, so it will take at least five trips to carry these fifty pots.
Since they were not in public at the moment, Xu Zhao did not need to worry too much and asked directly: "Boss, what are in those two wooden basins?" Xu Zhao pointed to the corner of the yard.
Following her fingertip, the shopkeeper saw the two wooden basins in the corner and slapped his head, "Those are the red carp you two wanted before."
He walked over with Xu Zhao and Shen Yu. "The one on the left died on the way. It's now sealed in crushed ice. You can take it home and cook it right away. The one on the right is still alive. If you take it home and take good care of it, I think it will grow bigger."
When I walked in and took a look, it was just as the shopkeeper said. In the basin on the right, at first glance, there were six fish still alive. There were not many fish hidden in the broken ice, only two or three.
"This fish is inconvenient to transport, and the boss won't allow us to send too much. I estimate that each branch will only receive this much at a time." The shopkeeper stood aside, rubbing his hands.
According to what the lady said before, one more tael of silver for each tail, the shopkeeper naturally hoped that the boss would send as much as possible, so that he could earn more. Unfortunately, the boss did not allow it.
Xu Zhao stretched his neck to look into the wooden basin, and took Shen Yu's arm openly, "Husband, these fish look lively and energetic. It's a pity that we have a long journey ahead, and it doesn't seem convenient to carry too many fish."
After she finished speaking, her dejection and unhappiness were visibly visible to the naked eye.
"Let's buy a few first and keep them in the residence here. We'll ask someone to take good care of them. Maybe we can see them next time we come. As for going to other places, I just heard what the shopkeeper said. I think there may be similar shops in other places. We'll buy a few more then." Shen Yu patted the back of Xu Zhao's hand comfortingly, and looked at the shopkeeper again, asking if what he said was right.
The shopkeeper observed Shen Yu's expression and naturally noticed the look he was giving him, and naturally understood what he meant.
He said respectfully, "Sir, you are right. Our boss is a well-known wealthy businessman in Zhongjin State. The four countries of Mobei, Zhongjin, Yue State, and Yunsheng all have branches of our boss's rare goods shop. This is also the main reason why our shop can sell things from these four countries."
I didn't expect that the boss behind this has such financial resources. He must be an extraordinary person. No wonder he opened such a shop in the border area and was not worried about losing money.
"Then I feel relieved," Xu Zhao wiped away the sadness on his face and picked up the fish happily.
Although the six fish were all in the same basin, each one was in a different state. "Boss, I want these three fish, is that okay?"
Xu Zhao ordered three of the most lively and active ones in a row.
Although he only picked three fish in the end, that was still three taels of silver. The shopkeeper smiled and stroked his beard, his eyebrows curved, as if he had seen the silver waving at him, "Of course it's no problem."
As for the remaining three wilted-looking fish and the three fish that had already died in the wooden basin, they would be sold to the guests from Mobei who came later.
In the past, they were so stingy that they even took away the crushed ice for the fish for free. They were so stingy that they only bought these dead fish. As for these lively ones, they would naturally be left for big customers.
