Chapter 234 There is a conspiracy
Fang Dacong, "..."
"My cousin's house is in the alley not far ahead. Manager Fang, please come with me." Su Yujin said as she was about to help Fang Dacong lead the way.
Fang Dacong subconsciously took two steps back and looked Su Yujin up and down.
The girl in front of me looks pretty and decent, and she seems to be a serious person. But one cannot judge a person by appearance. What if you only know the appearance but not the heart?
Moreover, this girl looks very smart and eloquent, and her eyes are as watery and deep as a pond. It is difficult to see clearly and it is hard to tell whether she is telling the truth or a lie.
But he agreed to it right away and was about to drag him to pay the money. How could he feel that it was not right for the loom owner?
Fang Dacong thought about it and looked embarrassed, "Is your cousin's loom really the one sold to the Yongfu Weaving Workshop?"
"Of course, how could I deceive you?" Su Yujin's face was full of joy. "To be honest, many people have come to visit my cousin's house these days. If you were a little later, you might have been bought by someone else. You'd better come with me quickly. When doing business, you can't hesitate or miss the opportunity!"
Seeing Su Yujin urging him again and again, Fang Dacong became more suspicious. He felt that what she said must not be true and there must be a trap.
You said before that the loom would cost 10,000 taels of silver together with the loss of the weaving workshop. Now that you hear him say 8,000 taels of silver, you want to take him to get the loom?
This contradictory look...
Fang Dacong became more and more suspicious.
Su Yujin's face was full of sincerity. "Manager Fang, you don't trust me? Well, I swear to God, I will sell the loom to the workshop, otherwise I will be struck by lightning!"
In broad daylight, without saying anything, he swore an oath! I don't believe it! Maybe this loom was not the one sold to the weaving workshop?
Or maybe, the success of the weaving workshop was not due to the loom?
The girl saw him asking about the loom, so she first said a lot of things, waiting for him to feel regretful, or even angry and said a price much higher than he expected, and then she made the final decision, leaving him no room for regret, and instead thought it was a good deal? In fact, not so many people have ever paid such a high price!
The more Fang Dacong thought about it, the more he felt that there was conspiracy involved, and he took two steps back. "Well, young lady, to be honest, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, the matter of the loom..."
"I'll ask you another day."
"Hey, Shopkeeper Fang, this business really can't be delayed. One day late means one day's profit later, and the weaving workshop will have one more day's advantage. Shopkeeper Fang, you'd better make it today." Su Yujin said.
"Yes, there are really some things that I can't take care of." Fang Dacong stepped back.
Su Yujin followed step by step, "Shopkeeper Fang is a businessman, so he should know that in business, he should not be indecisive. So, if Shopkeeper Fang is sincere, don't mention eight thousand taels, but seven thousand five hundred taels. Let's just consider the shortfall of five hundred taels as making friends..."
Fang Dacong, "..."
He doesn't have such a friend! There must be a conspiracy!
absolute!
We must leave quickly!
He shouldn't have come today! Fang Dacong was panicked, "It's not about money. I really can't care about it today. It's a sin to bother you for so long. This little money is just for tea."
As he spoke, Fang Dacong had already stuffed a silver ingot into Su Yujin's hand, then jumped onto his own carriage as if escaping, urging the driver to drive quickly.
In an instant, the carriage galloped away, leaving behind a cloud of dust.
"Why……"
Su Yujin pretended to chase for a few steps, but when she saw that the carriage was running for its life, afraid that she would catch up, she stopped and weighed the silver in her hand.
It was five taels of silver, not a lot, but not a little either.
Su Yujin weighed the silver in her hand, smiled happily, turned and went into the shop next door, bought a few fine purses and handkerchiefs, kept a purse for herself, and gave the rest to the sisters Hong Qiuyue and Hong Qiuyan.
"I got this because of you two. It's not a valuable thing, so don't refuse it. It's also because of you sisters that I get a new purse to wear."
Hearing Su Yujin say this, the sisters Hong Qiuyue and Hong Qiuyan did not refuse and each took the purse and handkerchief.
Hong Qiuyue sighed, "Miss Su is really smart. Not only did she scare the man away, but she also got a silver ingot. During this period of time, our family not only didn't get any silver, but also lost a lot of tea."
"Of course they did. When they got to our house, they started asking about the loom. I told my sister that the loom had been sold, but they didn't believe me. They just kept pestering me and refused to leave. Not only did they disturb grandma's rest, but they also made the house very restless."
Hong Qiuyan also had a troubled look on her face. "To be honest, Miss Su, my sister and I wanted to work in a weaving workshop. We were really fed up with this, so we smashed the loom at home and told others that it was our grandfather's. Now that our grandfather has passed away, the loom has been sold and it no longer exists. We don't know how to make a loom, so we think those people won't come anymore."
No wonder.
Su Yujin suddenly understood.
No wonder the two sisters were so willing to guard their own looms. Now they were willing to give up their own looms and work in the weaving workshop. It turned out to be because of this reason.
The silk cotton cloth and fine cloth produced by Yongfu Weaving Workshop have been on the market since the beginning of the year. Due to their good quality and low price, they are in great demand. Not only is the business good in Qinghe County, but even shops selling cloth in some surrounding counties have begun to purchase goods from here.
As business prospers, people will naturally keep an eye on you and keep an eye on you.
Those who wanted to get a piece of the pie naturally wanted to inquire about it and see if they could do such a business. It was not uncommon for them to inquire all the way here, or even to find out about the Hong sisters. But now, all those people came in a swarm, which was really unusual.
There is a certain delay and imbalance in obtaining information. The fact that these people arrived in Qinghe at almost the same time... can only mean that there must be someone behind the scenes instigating it.
A big tree attracts the wind.
Su Yujin clenched her fingers and pursed her lips, "Let's go to the workshop first and find Shopkeeper Feng."
It’s better to discuss it.
When the group arrived at the Yongfu weaving workshop, Feng Yuanhao was in the yard, checking the cloth woven that day and supervising the servants to load it onto the cart.
These goods are to be delivered to various shops. The business has just started and everything is related to the reputation of the weaving workshop. Feng Yuanhao dare not be negligent in the slightest.
Seeing Su Yujin, Ai Cao and the Hong sisters coming, Feng Yuanhao hurried over to greet them.
Today was the first snow of 2023, but before we could enjoy the snow and make a snowman, it melted away completely...
