The lowest shelf is still some distance from the ground, just at eye level.
A man covered his mouth and nose as he shuttled through the shelves, exclaiming, "A piece of plain Xuan paper here is only 300 wen! Oh my god! A piece of double-layer Xuan paper is only 500 wen! And ribbed paper is only 500 wen! Oh my god! Oh my god! The ribbed paper with gold-sprinkled patterns and carved silk patterns is only 98 liang 8 yuan per piece!"
No! Don't compare the price with "Xuan"! This price is only a little more expensive than jute paper!
The few people who were around became excited at the same time.
One category of rice paper occupies a vertical column on the shelf. The most expensive one is five hundred wen and the cheapest is three hundred wen. However, the categories are not arranged according to price but according to wooden tags. Some of the wooden tags have "Qiang Ji" written on them, so if you look at them horizontally, all of them are "Qiang Ji". There are also "Yao Ji", "Li Ji" and so on, which all look very simple.
Someone looked around, and the waiter in a simple brown gown came up to him and just looked at him without saying a word.
"Bring me a knife of ribbed paper!"
The waiter did not say anything. He quickly dragged a wooden ladder over and climbed up in no time. He took a knife from the wooden box and handed it to the man. He pointed to the east and said four concise words: "Pay the bill there."
The man exclaimed: This means that even the warehouse can be saved!
The man took the ribbed paper home and applied ink directly without even washing his hands. He watched the ink spread layer by layer. He then carefully took out a piece of ribbed paper with gold-sprinkled patterns and engraved silk patterns that he had bought at a high price from the "Xuan" store and carefully put a small ink dot on the edge of the paper for comparison.
After careful observation, the man nodded with satisfaction.
Well, you get what you pay for, the ancients were right.
In terms of quality, the products of "Xuan" are better.
But I only spent 500 wen to buy ribbed rice paper. Hmm...how should I put it? I felt like I made a good deal.
Although the customers who come into this shop in Fangwei are generally satisfied, it has been open for quite some time but is still deserted, and most of the customers are repeat customers.
This has to do with the location.
This is not a bustling street market, and the scholars who rent houses here don't have much time to go shopping here or there, so until the end of October, the customer flow of "Xuan Paper" was not too large, and it could barely make back the investment.
In October, the late osmanthus fragrance fills the air.
Xianjin sat in the "Shangchongtian" on the second floor of "Xuan" to wash cups and make tea.
Fang Shusheng came in aggressively, but in front of Xianjin, his anger faded a little, and he said in a hurry: "...Boss He! There are people selling rice paper just like you!"
Xianjin paused for a moment while holding the teacup, a little surprised: "Oh? Where did the rice paper merchant come from?"
"It's right at the end of Jiqingfang! The quality is obviously not as good as 'Xuan'! Although it's cheap, it's not a good product! The name of the store is 'Xuan Paper'!" Fang Shu was angry and complained: "It must be some shameless businessman who saw your success and came to eat for free!"
After hearing this, the shameless businessman He couldn't hide his surprise, so he said righteously: "What! There is such a strange thing happening under the feet of the emperor and the imperial city!"
Xian Jin said righteously: "Mr. Fang, you must expose this shameless shop among the scholars! Scold it! Scold it until everyone knows about it!"
