Starting My Cultivation With Immortality
Chapter 42: good things become 3
"Sir, these are all good books at the moment. They are of high quality and low price. It just so happens that the small shop is cutting prices and making profits these days. You can choose whatever you want, and you will be satisfied."
After some introductions, the store owner saw that Yunsu did not speak or leave. Knowing that it was possible to negotiate a business, he simply came up with the trick of cutting prices and making profits.
"How do you price these hundreds of new books?"
Yunsu pointed to a few cabinets of books around him, all of them were of low price, and there were all kinds of books.
The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he heard this, this is a big customer.
"Sir, you have a good eye. My book, Xianzhai, has always been very demanding on books. These books are beautifully printed and have excellent content, and they are very popular right now."
The store owner took out the abacus, and started to count, this book was a few hundred words, and the other was a couple of taels, but the louder the abacus was, the faster the abacus was. After counting the hundreds of books, ordinary people would have long been stunned.
"Guest officer, the original price was 835 taels in total. After the price was reduced, the total was 715 taels."
The price of a mere hundreds of books could not escape Yun Su's discernment. There was no mistake in the calculation, but whether the price was fair or not was a question mark.
"This book of "Tongyou Lu" was only sold for 400 cents a month ago, and today you're counting it for 600 cents. And this "Shilin Sanji", the purchase price was only 280 cents, just now It's four hundred and fifty wen."
For large-scale transactions, under normal circumstances, if you are not a regular customer, you will usually have to repeatedly bargain.
But Yunsu was too lazy to negotiate with him. With his divine sense, he saw the purchase account book hidden in the counter, as well as the parity book where he usually reduced the price and made profits. Naturally, he saw the price of the purchase price and the usual promotion price.
It is understandable for businessmen to seek profit.
But firstly, the money was not enough, and secondly, he didn't want to be taken advantage of for no reason. The drunkard Yunsu didn't want to drink, so he deliberately cheated him.
"This this……"
The store owner panicked immediately. This man was so young and so shrewd. He naturally remembered the selling prices and purchase prices of the two books, but how did this person know? A friend of mine bought the book.
Seeing that the business was about to turn yellow, this was a big deal. Knowing that he couldn't be fooled, he couldn't help but scolded himself for being blinded by lard just now. If he lost this big business, he would lose a lot.
I don't care about asking for a price, waiting for people to pay back the money on the spot. Immediately picked up the abacus again, cracked and played, and calculated a new number.
"Mr. has a brilliant eye, and thinks that he is someone who learns to be rich and knows the price of books. I just made a mistake in the calculation. In fact, only four hundred and eighty-eight taels are enough for these books."
"Four hundred and eighty-eight taels."
Seeing that Yunsu was noncommittal, the shopkeeper explained, "This price is already extremely fair, and it is also for small profits but quick turnover. Including the purchase price of the book, the cost of the carriage, the wages and rent of the second child, there is not much to earn."
Yunsu naturally knew that the price was very fair, and others were also in business, so he said straight to the point:
"I see that there are a lot of bad books in your backyard?"
"That's right, the two of them just carried the damaged books. They are all tattered books that the bookstore recycles on a daily basis. Some of them are in good condition, and the rest are recycled into paper."
The store owner originally wanted to turn waste into treasure and brag about those bad books, but when he thought of the lesson just now, he just gritted his teeth and admitted that it was bad books.
"Sir, please come with me."
The two entered the backyard, and sure enough, they saw a pile of tattered books like a hill. Either there were missing pages or few pages, or they were eaten by worms and rats, and some were burnt by fire and soaked in water. Many tattered books were picked up by people. Broken even more.
"Last winter, the house of the landowner Zhang Da in Guluo Town was attacked by thieves. He was killed and injured. The house was also set on fire. The thousands of books in the library were robbed by the Zhang clan. I bought them with money. After coming down, fortunately, I picked out dozens of unique books, so I didn’t lose money, and I made a small profit.”
The store owner was eager to make that big deal, and after suppressing the idea of profiteering and slaughtering customers, he spoke in an honest and sincere manner, a bit like a scholar.
"Well, I like to fiddle with some damaged books on weekdays. If these discarded and rotten books are used as a bonus, the price of the book is four hundred and eighty-eight taels, which is a lot of money, and the other twelve taels are paid for buying paper. .
If not, then forget it. "
The store owner thought for a while and found that this business can be done. Those tattered books have been picked out several times. It takes time and labor to make paper, so it happened to facilitate this business.
"Okay, then according to what Mr. said, in fact, I am also a reader. First, I recycle old books to make some money, and secondly, I can't bear these books to be spoiled, but my craftsmanship is not good, and I don't really understand book love like Mr. Book people, knowledgeable and skilled, know how to repair books.
Just now, the junior second in the store also carried two baskets to the dissolving paper pool, and there were two baskets left in the kitchen for fire, so I immediately asked them to bring them back. "
Seeing that the business had reached an agreement, the shopkeeper immediately smiled brightly and talked with Yun Supan. He was less utilitarian and more sincere. He hoped to make friends with this big customer who bought hundreds of books at one time.
Not long after, the four baskets of broken books were brought back, and the store hired a few carriages. In front of Yunsu, they were packed with straw paper, and the broken books were packed in a dozen sacks with a small deposit. , agreed to deliver the book to the door and then pay the balance.
After coming out of the bookstore, Yunsu smiled lightly, thinking that it was rare to find a leak this time. She was slightly disappointed that she didn't buy the Ten Thousand Years Spirit Beard before noon, but she recovered completely at this time.
Wang Xuanji watched from the side and was very happy. There were a lot of books at home soon, but he felt that Big Brother Yun spent a lot of money, so he was a little worried, and wanted to take out the private money to make up for it when he got home.
"Let's go, take a walk, and go home."
The joy of Zixia Xiangyun was not over yet, and she bought a bunch of good books. Yunsu was in a good mood and walked around the city with the two of them, aimlessly and casually.
……
As the sun sets, the beggars in Yuyang City are dispersing in groups. As night falls, they are looking for a place to sleep.
"Grandpa, drink some water."
The girl in green asked for another bowl of water from the shop on the street and handed it to the white-haired old man.
There was a small stool in front of the old man, also from the kind shop owner, and there were still unsold roots in the scarf on it.
"The grace of dripping water will be reciprocated by the natural spring, Xian'er, go and give that shop a whisker."
"Um."
The girl in green took a root and went to the store to thank the store. The store accepted the thank you happily, but did not ask for a root.
"For the mere matter of a bowl of water, I don't need to thank you. Little girl, this, these radish whiskers, the appearance is not bad. You can keep them and sell them slowly."
The shopkeeper is really pitiful to see one old and one young, so desolate and not begging like those beggars, and they can't sell any radish whiskers. He refused to beg, so at noon, he sent a plate of leftover buns and two bowls of hot water.
The girl in green with a sad face took the roots back to the old man and put it back on the scarf.
"Alas, I can't even give it away, how can I sell it?"
The old man had a look of regret. He knew that, even if it was a cheap sale, he would have sold it to the kindhearted person in the morning.
"Grandpa, it's useless to be Xian'er..."
The girl in green pouted~lightnovelpub.net~ was extremely distressed. I didn't know that money was so useful before, and I'm afraid I'll be sleeping on the street tonight.
It was the first time in my life that I sold something. It was obviously a treasure, but I couldn't sell it no matter what.
At noon, a doctor from a medical clinic passed by, saw the pitiful appearance of the two, and found the roots, so he picked up one and smelled it, but he didn't buy it.
In a hurry, the girl in green learned something from the shop next door, saying that you can try it before you buy it, but the other party didn't look back and walked faster.
"Xian'er, I don't blame you. Although these roots are extraordinary, they also need someone to know the goods. They can't shout out what they are, it will lead to death.
Grandpa is seriously injured and needs to find a place to rest. Xian'er, you have low mana, and you are imprisoned by those traitors with a spiritual rope. Not to mention magic, I am afraid that even the wind, rain and cold will not be able to stop it. If you sell it again If you don't lose these roots, you can only learn from those beggars and find a place to block the cold wind and dew. "
The two of them just squatted under the eaves on the street, watching the sunset slowly fall, and there were fewer and fewer people on the street. Even the store had to close their doors and go home. After returning the stool, the girl in green held the square. Towel, want to cry without tears.
Ever since I was a child, I have never been so lonely.
What the girl didn't know was that her grandfather's heart was even more desolate at this time. He had lived for 10,000 years, when did he have such a miserable life, and if there was no turning point, he was afraid that he would be a beggar regardless of his face.
"what?!"
At this moment, I saw a graceful figure, a girl with a baby on her back, strolling past the street corner, and she was about to pass by in a blink of an eye. She didn't even look here.
The girl in green didn't know where the courage came from, so she stood up and stumbled to catch up.
"Sir, please stay."
