Chapter 371 Old Man, Here I Come
Although she was alone this time, and the silver shop in front of her was much larger than the one in Fang County,
But because I made money, I unconsciously exuded a kind of confidence and my temperament became more relaxed.
The old lady's behavior really didn't seem like it was her first time in Shuntian City.
Although they came to Shuntian Prefecture last time to build a public tomb for their in-laws, they turned outside the city and did not come in at all.
Just like Old Lady Wang, she seemed a little confused and helpless, while Old Lady Hua was full of curiosity about the capital, and had smiles and ambitions in her eyes.
When she saw the people coming and going, it was as if she saw silver falling from the sky.
It can be said that Shuntian Prefecture is worthy of being the capital. The silver shop in front of us is incomparable to Fang County in terms of decoration and spaciousness.
But she was very confident when she walked in, and was very good at fooling people when talking about business. I guess even Shen Youyou would be surprised if she saw her.
Do you know what the old lady said?
She said without blinking, "Our hairpins are now popular in four counties: Fang County, Liang County, Zhuo County, and An County.
Their business concept is to surround the provincial capital with the county town, but don't worry, what we deliver to the provincial capital are all top-notch quality products.
Especially for some sets of headgear, it is no exaggeration to say that the styles will not be exactly the same, and they are guaranteed to be unique when sold, but the price will definitely be much higher. "
If you want to customize it, that's fine too. For example, isn't the Mid-Autumn Festival coming up soon?
You can customize Mid-Autumn Festival jewelry, and show people some newly made sweet-scented osmanthus hairpins, saying:
"Shopkeeper, look at this little rabbit. It's white, plump and cute, and has red eyes. Can the jade in your shop be made like this?
Even if you can make it, the carving fee will be more expensive than this hairpin."
Old Lady Hua also said: "The nobles in the capital city, when they attend banquets, flower parties, poetry parties, the jewelry they wear is not thoughtful at all, and they always wear the same few sets. They may even run into someone else wearing the same jewelry, which is embarrassing, isn't it?
Our unique jewelry sets can not only be customized with unique styles, but also can be made according to the wishes of the party.
For example, at birthday parties, what age should be worn, for example, at parties to appreciate peach blossoms, plum blossoms, and lotus flowers, how old should the lady be?
They can all be customized according to various conditions. Which lady wouldn’t feel very proud to wear them? They will amaze everyone as soon as they appear on the stage!"
Besides, our jewelry is really not expensive. Custom-made ones come in sets of 15 taels, 25 taels, and 35 taels.
It's not just headwear, we also have earrings, rings, bracelets, bangles and necklaces.
As she spoke, she showed the shopkeeper a whole set of jewelry and told him, "This set of headwear is specially made for the Mid-Autumn Festival. It has a very nice name, called Cassia Fragrance in the Moon."
If the owner of the silver shop was not tempted, then something must have gone wrong. Not only did he keep the entire set of headwear, he also kept fifteen taels.
She also wanted to order a complete set of headwear from Old Lady Hua: "She said she wanted to order ten different Mid-Autumn Festival designs."
He accepted the hairpins she had picked out and brought with her, but the other party had a request that they could not go to other jewelry stores.
Mrs. Hua said, "I will not go to other silver shops today, because you have received all the goods I brought, but I can't rely on you alone.
If I come to set up the stall again in three days, or if someone comes to my house to buy goods, I cannot offend them because of your family.
But don't worry, although other common stores may sell the same ones as you, these special headpieces are definitely different from yours,
There will never be a single one that is exactly the same, and we will never make one that is exactly the same. Look at our materials, and no one else can copy them, so don’t worry.”
The business at the stalls in the market is extremely lively.
There was not much time for Old Mrs. Wang to be busy. As soon as people came to the market, her stall was always busy.
There were waves coming and going, and the most exaggerated thing was that the situation was different from that in other places.
In other counties, cheap hairpins are sold more than flower hairpins, but in the market in Kyoto.
Eighty percent of people buy flower hairpins, and very few people buy hairpins that cost five or ten cents.
Some people also bought cheap hairpins, but from what Old Lady Wang said, those that cost five or ten cents can be bought and worn while doing housework when you are not going out. They look nice and neat.
The same goes for shoe soles. Those with flowers on them sell out very quickly. However, many men prefer shoe soles without straw inside.
The most popular one is the one with bamboo patterns inside, which really opened the eyes of the dozen or so people from the Nine Tribes.
An County, Shen Zhiqiu led the team personally. No, to be precise, it was Shen Fugui who led the team. Shen Zhiqiu came to An County to find Grandpa Meng.
When he was setting up a stall, he would ask everyone he met: "Ah, you are from the village! Is there anyone from your village who came here to escape famine? What? What's their last name?"
"Oh, the last name is Yang..."
It's really asking the same question over and over again, and being disappointed over and over again.
At this time, an old lady came with a bamboo basket with some newly bought blue cloth in it. She looked at Shen Zhiqiu and said, "Ask for their surnames. There are a few from our village as well."
Although Shen Zhiqiu had been disappointed many times, he knew that Mr. Meng should be assigned to An County, so he immediately stood up and asked, "Aunt, what are the surnames of the people in your village?"
The old lady recalled carefully and said: "It seems that there is a family with the surname Chang, another family with the surname Meng, and another family..."
Before the third family was named, Shen Zhiqiu asked hurriedly: "Who are the people in the Meng family?"
The old lady replied: "I am not old or young, I have four sons!"
Shen Zhiqiu was a little disappointed. One of Mr. Meng's three sons died, so there were only two left.
The old lady continued, "There are two sons and their wives. I heard that one of the sons died, and the other son and his wife have been living with the old couple.
There are two more sons who just got married not long ago. They were both assigned to our village and we just started arranging their marriages. I heard they are adopted sons.”
Shen Zhiqiu's eyes lit up immediately and he nodded quickly, looking very excited. If he had not taken into account the difference between men and women, he would have directly grabbed the old lady and thanked her.
"Auntie, the old man I'm looking for is him. He has a daughter, three grandsons, and two granddaughters, right?"
Seeing that Shen Zhiqiu knew everything and looked so excited, the old lady suddenly misunderstood. She said with embarrassment, "Young man, what is your relationship with his family?"
Shen Zhiqiu did not notice the old lady's expression, mainly because he was really excited at the moment. Since he settled down, every time he saw the old cow, he would think of the old man. In fact, he had originally planned to go to Shuntian Prefecture last night.
As a result, he dreamed that night that the old man was lying on the bed, unable to move, and kept calling him: "Young man, young man!"
He was startled awake from his dream and couldn't fall asleep no matter what. He asked Li Quan to go to Shuntian Prefecture, and he brought Dahu and Erhu with him, and followed Shen Fugui's team to An County, just to see Grandpa Meng and feel at ease.
