Chapter 512 Price Increase
Thinking of this, both sides immediately smiled.
He laughed and said, "Hahaha, we are just joking, how can this be serious? We are fine, right, brother?"
Shopkeeper Qin gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, yes, it's great. We usually invite people to sing songs, you invite people to tell stories, we invite dancers, and you invite musicians. It's great, very good!"
The shopkeeper of Chaoshuilou smiled, glanced at Zhou Guo, and said with a smile: "I am waiting for Mr. Zhou's arrival at Chaoshuilou."
He turned around and waved to the guy from Chaoshuilou.
The guys dispersed.
This tense and imminent battle was resolved by Zhou Guo's few words.
Shopkeeper Qin bowed to Zhou Guo and said, "Thank you, Madam Zhou. Fortunately, you are here. Otherwise, even if we win today, we will not be able to get anything good."
Zhou Guo said, "Shopkeeper Qin, why are you being so polite to me? I am doing this for you and for myself. If your business is not doing well, who will I sell my pine mushrooms to? Also, looking at the way I am dressed, can you please call me something other than Madam Zhou?"
"Ah?" Shopkeeper Qin looked up in confusion, "If you don't allow me to call you Madam Zhou, what should I call you then?"
Zhou Guo opened his folding fan and waved it coquettishly, saying with a smile, "Please call me, Master Zhou."
Shopkeeper Qin laughed loudly, "Okay, okay, Mr. Zhou, please come in, what are your goods?"
Zhou Guo waved his folding fan and said, "Take it to the back door."
Wu Jiang turned around and gave them a wink, and the convoy headed towards the back door.
At the dinner table, Shopkeeper Qin talked about all sorts of things. Although Zhou Guo had not been to many places in his life, he had seen a lot more than those who had never been out. Plus, with the foundation he had learned in his previous life, he was not at all inferior.
No matter what Shopkeeper Qin said, she could always add a few words, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
Everyone including Wu Jiang looked at Zhou Guo in amazement. They had always known that their boss was good at business, but it turned out that he was so knowledgeable and had such broad horizons. He even knew so many things?
They were not the only ones who were shocked. Shopkeeper Qin opposite was equally shocked. Looking at Zhou Guo, who was so young, her every move was already quite imposing. Who knew what kind of person she would grow into in time. It was only a short year, and she had made such progress. She was no longer the same as she was last year.
He had never seen progress so fast before.
At such a young age, he can already talk about anything. The other party can easily follow up on what he says, as if he knows it by heart. But when it comes to talking about something deeper, he is not good enough. As a shopkeeper, he only knows the basics. It is good enough for him to know a little bit.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it is true that heroes emerge from young people, and old guys like them can't compare to them. Such a person was actually born in a peasant family. I don't know what kind of good deeds those farmers who have nothing have done in their previous lives, why can't such a person appear in his family?
Seeing that his eyes were wandering as he spoke, Zhou Guo stopped talking and thought that was enough. He put away the folding fan he was fanning himself with, thinking, "It's autumn now, and if you fan yourself too much, you might catch a cold."
She hasn't eaten yet. The food at Fumanlou is very good, and of course the wine is also good.
Wu Jiang and others started by eating a few bites, but later, seeing that the two were talking more and more, they didn't dare to eat anymore. If they finished the whole table of dishes, and when the two looked back, there was no food left, wouldn't that be terrible?
He took a sip of wine, took a bite of food with chopsticks, and signaled his subordinates to eat with him, not to keep any. They ran around all day long, how could they work or fight to guard things if they were not full?
Shopkeeper Qin looked up and saw that she had already started drinking. He couldn't help but sighed, "At this time last year, Master Zhou still couldn't drink, but this year he can drink a few glasses. I don't know if it's because I'm getting old, or if you young people are growing up too fast. I think I'll have to retire soon."
Zhou Guo was so curious that he couldn't help but move closer and asked, "Boss, people like you who work for the master's family can retire whenever they want when they reach a certain age?"
Shopkeeper Qin glared, "...Of course not. If the master doesn't let you quit, you have to work until the day you can't move. For a family like us, we have to obey the master in everything."
Zhou Guo said: "Fumanlou is so big, your master's family is also extraordinary, even if it is a family-born child, he lives better than many people."
In this world, countless people die of starvation, freezing, and disease every day. In a sense, they do live better than the free poor.
Shopkeeper Qin raised his head unconsciously and said with a smile: "That's right. Although we are family-born children, our life is no worse than that of ordinary families. We even live better than that of ordinary small landlords."
Seeing his proud look, Zhou Guo also nodded. This is how it is in troubled times.
After she finished eating, she said, "Manager Qin, let me tell you that the mushrooms in the mountains are gradually coming out. There aren't many. I only brought over 800 kilograms this time. But it should be enough for you to use for three or four days."
Shopkeeper Qin calculated, "Although there is a little less, fortunately there is stock. Isn't there another one coming soon? If you want to send it, it's fine. I can wait."
After thinking about it, I felt something was wrong when I saw the smile on Zhou Guo's face.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Of course we have to give it away, but you also know that this year's mushrooms are more than half a month later than last year. We don't know what the situation will be this year, but now it's just the beginning, the quantity is definitely not that much. As the saying goes, things are precious because they are scarce, so we can't follow last year's price. This price has to be the same as the mushrooms in the mountains, it has to change!"
Shopkeeper Qin felt relieved and said helplessly, "You know, this place is not as good as Yunzhou. There are not so many people here, and not many people can afford to eat pine mushrooms. Mr. Zhou, you should ask for less. I still have to eat and pay my people."
Zhou Guo laughed, "Shopkeeper, you sell one mushroom on a plate for 700 to 800 coins, and one pound costs 400 to 500 coins, but I only charge 200 coins for one pound! I didn't ask you for that, it's just the beginning, the quantity is small, if I raise the price, won't you raise the price too? I'll tell you the truth, it's not just you, I'll raise the price at other places too. Yours is not the closest, but I'm the cheapest! I haven't been to other places this year, you see, I'm very considerate, you should also show some consideration, right?"
Shopkeeper Qin knew that she was telling the truth. Although they did not have a restaurant in Yunzhou, they had one in Ningping. He knew Ningping's general situation. Ningping wanted him to give some to him, but that was impossible as he did not have enough for himself.
He knew that if he didn't agree to the price increase, she would probably give him less and less goods in the future. Since the goods were in her hands, he had no choice but to accept it. "Okay, then, how much do you want to increase the price?"
Zhou Guo chuckled and made a gesture.
Shopkeeper Qin raised his eyebrows.
