The shop is quite small, with only one waiter in it. The owner is a middle-aged woman who still has charm.
As soon as they saw a few people coming in, they were very enthusiastic.
Liu Zhiyi asked and found out that there were 65 pieces of coarse floral cloth and 50 pieces of fine cotton cloth in stock, so he said he wanted them all. Seeing that the other party was standing there in a daze and ignored him, he placed an order for 250 pieces for each of them.
The female shopkeeper was overjoyed and promised on the spot that she would deliver the goods personally in a few days.
Liu Zhiyi glanced around the store again and pointed at the shelf, saying, "Pack up the navy blue, dark gray, light gray, and the grass green on the edge."
The shop has been open for more than ten years, but this is the first time she has seen such a generous customer. The female shopkeeper is so happy that she can't stop smiling.
"Hey, hey, hey, young lady, you have good taste. This is the material we just bought into our store a few days ago. It's called Guxiang Satin. It has simple colors and an antique feel. It's said that this kind of material is very popular among the wealthy families in Beijing."
"If you like it, I'll give you a discount. 20 taels per piece, how about that?"
"Well, let's settle the bill." It was getting late, and Liu Zhiyi just wanted to end it quickly and had no time to bargain.
One piece of coarse flowered cloth costs 2 taels of silver, so 65 pieces would cost 130 taels. One piece of fine cotton cloth costs 5 taels of silver, so 50 pieces would cost 250 taels. One piece of ancient fragrant satin costs 20 taels of silver, so four pieces of cloth would cost 80 taels.
"It's 460 taels in total. I'll pay another 40 taels as a deposit for the remaining fabrics."
The proprietress was still calculating with all her might when Liu Zhiyi blurted it out.
The other party paused after hearing this and continued to calculate. After an incense stick of time had passed, he raised his head and looked at Liu Zhiyi in shock.
"The girl is right."
What an amazing mental arithmetic skill.
It was rare to meet such a big customer, so the shopkeeper took the initiative to send three pieces of silk. Liu Zhiyi thanked him with a smile, took out the silver and went to the door of the store to watch the clerk load the car.
When she looked up, she saw the man who had just humiliated her in the shop opposite standing not far away, and his eyes almost popped out.
"It's a dog's eye look-down thing."
Liu Zhiyi sneered, rolled his eyes rudely, turned his head and ignored him.
"How is that possible? They are just three poor guys."
The shopkeeper shook his head in disbelief, muttering to himself. The waiter beside him said anxiously:
"Boss, what should we do now?"
The shopkeeper gritted his teeth, suddenly put on a smile, and strode towards Liu Zhiyi who was arranging the loading of the goods.
"Hehe, girl, that..."
After getting closer and taking a closer look, the shopkeeper was surprised to find that although Liu Zhiyi dressed in a low-key manner, he actually had an excellent foundation.
That delicate, watery, and flawless little face is not something that can be raised in an ordinary family. You can tell at a glance that it must be from a wealthy family.
Thinking of this, he was so angry that he almost bit his tongue to commit suicide.
It was all his fault for not looking carefully and mistakenly thinking that they had no money, which led to the loss of such a huge business. The shopkeeper was almost furious and now just wanted to make amends as soon as possible, hoping to recover as much of the loss as possible.
"Is there something?" Liu Zhiyi said coldly.
"I... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I was blind just now. I deserve to die. I neglected the girl. It's my fault."
Shen Erzhuang stepped forward to stand in front of Liu Zhiyi and glared at the shopkeeper with disgust.
"Go away, go away. Why are you so close to my sister? Don't you look down on us? Then why don't you stay away from us so that you don't get the aura of poverty from us?"
The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly and apologized again.
Liu Zhiyi ignored him and continued to watch the shop assistants move the cloth. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper was so shameless that he refused to leave. He even lingered around, shamelessly trying to sell his cloth.
"Miss, this cloth shop is just a small one, so we don't have that much inventory. Why don't you come to my place and pick some more? This time, I promise I'll give you the best discount."
Liu Zhiyi didn't even raise his eyelids.
"If it's not in stock, we can just place an order. There's no rush in a day or two." After saying that, he walked away.
The sharp-nosed and monkey-faced shopkeeper was left standing there, beating his chest and stamping his feet in anger.
