Chapter 570 Buying a Headdress
Zhou Dacang took a look and asked the two, "Does it look good?"
They both nodded, "It looks good!"
Zhou Guo felt that he had said it too directly, and it would be difficult to bargain when the time came, so he immediately pondered and said, “Well, but I think there are still some flaws in some places, well, it’s not perfect enough.”
The shopkeeper said quickly, "I don't know what part does not meet the young master's liking. I will go down and ask the craftsmen to correct it."
Zhou Guo looked at it for a long time and said, "Look at the pistil, it's not fine enough, one is thick and the other is thin. And the petals, the lines are not smooth enough, the carving is rough, and the phoenix's eyes are even worse, they have grown here, hmm, this is so unlucky..."
The more she talked, the more problems she found. At first glance, I thought both of these noodles were good, gorgeous and beautiful. But after looking at them carefully, I think the ones in the capital are better.
Later on, every time she mentioned a shopkeeper, she would lower her head. Originally, she held her head high and was very confident in her own things, but what Zhou Guo pointed out was not groundless, but real.
The shopkeeper bowed and said, "Young Master, please be gentle with your words. It is already very good for a small silver shop like ours to be able to do this. How can it be compared with the big silver shops? The masters are also different. If you keep talking, no one will come to my silver shop anymore."
Zhou Guo glanced around and saw several groups of people listening intently with their ears pricked up.
She stopped talking wisely. She couldn't really destroy the store's reputation. She came to buy things, not to make enemies. She smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, although these two noodles have many shortcomings, they still look good at first glance."
The shopkeeper curled his lips and said that it would be better if he didn't say this.
Zhou Guo signaled Zhou Dacang with his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, how many pairs do you want to buy?"
Zhou Dacang said, “I want both.”
Zhou Guo understood and pointed at the two noodles and said, "How about this, although the workmanship of these two noodles is not very good, they look good, so we will take both. You can decide on the money."
The shopkeeper's mouth twitched. It turned out that he had been talking for so long and was waiting for him.
Although these two headpieces have many flaws, they are still good things. "Our shop is simple and it is not an exaggeration to say that these two headpieces are the treasures of the shop, especially this phoenix headpiece inlaid with jewels. There are twelve of them, and the minimum price is seventy taels of silver!"
"Seventy taels?" Zhou Guo was incredulous. "Although it is inlaid with gems and pearls, the gems are not much bigger than rice grains. How can this be counted? Moreover, the quality of your gems is not very good. And the pearls are the same size as rice grains. They have turned yellow. When the pearls turn yellow, they are almost like stones. In the whole thing, only the gold is worth some money. If you want to talk about the workmanship, it is even worse. How can this cost seventy taels?"
The shopkeeper was dumbfounded. He had never seen anyone lie with open eyes. The key point was that other customers in the store looked at him intentionally or unintentionally, staring at him, "How can the beads be yellow? It's obvious."
Zhou Dacang didn't understand this aspect, but when he saw Zhou Guo bargaining like a veteran, he couldn't help but smile. It was as if he saw this girl and her brothers looking so high-spirited in front of several shopkeepers, and the whole person seemed to be a different person.
This girl is really suitable for this, she likes it!
Zhou Su would interject from time to time.
The two siblings sang in unison and made the shopkeeper lose his temper.
I don't want to sell it, but this thing is really like what they said, people with wealthy family background don't think much of it, thinking the workmanship is poor, and people without wealth don't even have the chance to see it. If I keep it, I'm afraid I'll never see it again.
The last two headpieces were sold for ninety-eight taels.
Zhou Guo also asked for a few men's crowns, all of which were made of silver and were not worth much. He asked for one for each man in the family, and of course he also asked for one for himself.
I also asked for some pretty hair flowers.
The shopkeeper's heart was bleeding. He had been a shopkeeper all his life, but this was the first time he had seen someone who was so good at bargaining, and he was a young man. If you didn't know him, you would think he was some lady.
After choosing the items, Zhou Guo prepared to pay.
When he took out the money and looked at it, he saw the shopkeeper was already holding a silver note and looking at it over and over again.
She couldn't help but look at Zhou Dacang who was standing beside her. "Didn't you say that your salary was paid sporadically? Where did you get so much money?"
Zhou Su also looked up at him. His uncle was really rich. He spent ninety-eight taels without blinking an eye. He was so rich.
Zhou Dacang said: "I will explain it to you later."
The three of them walked out, each holding a box.
They strolled around the street for a while and came across someone selling various dried fruits. Zhou Guo weighed out a lot of them and asked someone to deliver them to Hu Zi.
I saw a lot of dried meat in the past.
It is worth mentioning that the several big men I met when eating wontons were selling dried meat, mostly beef jerky and mutton jerky, and even various kinds of leather.
Zhou Guo was about to ask when he looked up and saw that it was an acquaintance and was also surprised.
The three men greeted with a smile, "Gentlemen, what a coincidence, we meet again, what can I do for you?"
It's just that the accent is a little strange.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Thank you guys for helping me out just now. I didn't expect you guys were doing business here."
One of them looked at the oldest and waved his hand, saying, "Hey, that's not a big deal. We were the ones who took your place. It's good enough that you didn't cause us any trouble."
Zhou Guo said: "It is understandable that you are in a hurry to do business. Did you make this dried meat yourself?"
"Yes, come, gentlemen, have a taste."
He grabbed the dried meat and stuffed it into the hands of the three men.
At this time, another guest came, and the other two men went away to do their work.
Zhou Guo took a bite and thought it tasted better than the ones she had bought from several other stores before. She looked at Zhou Su and Zhou Dacang, and they nodded, indicating that they were also good.
Zhou Guo ordered thirty kilograms of each.
It's the New Year, and we have nothing to do at home, so it's the time to eat these. And there are many people at home, so this little food will probably be finished in five or six days.
The man was very happy. It was the first time he met such a generous customer. After weighing, he scooped a lot more in. Zhou Guo saw that it was probably more than one kilogram.
He stuffed another handful into his hands.
Zhou Guo looked at the various kinds of leather nearby and asked, "What kind of leather are there?"
The man grinned happily and said, "A lot, a lot, mostly wolf skins, but also rabbit skins, deer skins, mink skins, and a few fox skins, they are very nice to look at."
Then he turned the leather inside out.
A few people couldn't help but squat down to take a look, and there really was everything there.
The leather is also well treated.
Zhou Guo looked at the wolf skins. The wolf fur was thick, fluffy and shiny. He couldn't help but look at Zhou Dacang. Thinking of the bitter cold in the military camp, he picked seven or eight at once.
Zhou Da Cang twitched his lips, "There are plenty of leather at home, why did you pick so many?"
