Chapter 707: Lose Nothing But Momentum
When Tian Caihong saw Zhang Juexia, she stood up as if she was shocked and asked, "You, why are you here?"
"This is a cloth shop. If you can come here, I can come here too."
"You have your own shop, why are you in someone else's shop? Could it be you?"
Zhang Juexia deliberately looked at the shop assistant and asked, "Is there a rule in your shop that prevents me from coming?"
The waiter shook his head repeatedly, "Our boss said that everyone who comes is a guest, and we must treat them well."
"That's it, give me one, no, two, of the best material you have in your shop.
During the New Year, when there are many people at home, we naturally need more ingredients.”
The young clerk glanced at Shopkeeper Yao, who gave him a look, and he ran out in a hurry.
Shopkeeper Yao winked at Zhang Juexia and said with a smile, "Master Zhang, please sit down first. I have to entertain my distinguished guests first, and then I will entertain you. What do you think?"
Zhang Juexia shook his head. "Not very good? Shopkeeper Yao, let me tell you the truth!"
Zhang Juexia pointed at Tian Caihong and said, "She has no money at all. She came to your shop on purpose to cause trouble.
Take my advice and just report it to the police. Don't bother with it.
She simply can’t afford those fine materials.”
Ever since Tian Caihong found out that her daughter received a severance pay of one thousand taels of silver, she has been very proud and she thinks she is the richest person in the world.
Now Zhang Juexia is pointing at her nose and saying that she has no money. If she is not anxious, who will be anxious?
"Zhang Juexia, don't underestimate me. Right now, I lack everything except money.
Don't think you're great just because you have a few stinky coins."
"Of course I am great because I have money. I am not like some people who brag intentionally.
I think you seem to have eaten too much salt and came to the shop on purpose to get some water."
Tian Caihong was extremely angry at Zhang Juexia. She pointed at the shop assistant and said, "You, what did I just say? Bring me the best fabric in your shop. I want it, I want it."
Zhang Juexia raised his voice again, "Is your cloth freshly woven? Why hasn't my good material arrived yet? I want two pieces!"
Two horses!"
The young man, sweating profusely, came into the shop carrying two rolls of fine cloth and said, "Madam, this is the best material we have in the shop. Please take a look!"
Let me tell you, this was specially sent by our boss from the capital. It is said that there are only a few of them in the entire Great Zhou Kingdom.
You've come at the right time today!"
Tian Caihong didn't wait for Zhang Juexia to speak, pointing at the two pieces of cloth in the boy's hand, "I want both of them."
The clerk froze in shock, unable to finish his words. "Madam, do you know how much this material costs per piece?"
"No matter how much silver a horse costs, I want it!"
Shopkeeper Yao stepped forward and pulled Zhang Juexia aside. "Boss Zhang, look at what a commotion this has caused. These are the only two pieces of top-quality material I have in my shop. Would you mind giving up some of them?"
Zhang Juexia glared at him and said, "What are you talking about? I said she can't afford it and that's it. She's just talking nonsense to save face.
Besides, you haven't told me how much this material costs per piece!"
Zhang Juexia looked at Tian Caihong with disdain. Tian Caihong took out a piece of silver from her pocket and put it on the table, "Who are you looking down on?
I said I have silver, so I have silver. So, how much is this cloth per piece?"
Shopkeeper Yao asked the clerk to step aside and looked at Tian Caihong with a smile on her face, "Madam, these two pieces of cloth are the treasures of our store.
But there are only a few in the entire Great Zhou Kingdom. Is it worth the price? Is it just that?"
Tian Caihong sat upright and said, "Tell me, I'm not that scared by these two pieces of cloth."
Shopkeeper Yao calculated in his mind, "Ten taels of silver a horse."
"What?"
"Ma'am, scarcity makes things valuable! This material is indeed top-quality. As the clerk said, you came at the right time.
If I come again tomorrow, there won’t be such good material.”
Zhang Juexia said angrily, "Manager Yao, why are you wasting your time talking to her? It's just ten taels of silver per horse, right?
I want both of them, and I'll have the waiter deliver them to my house later."
Then she looked at Tian Caihong provocatively, meaning that if I say you can't afford it, then you can't afford it.
Tian Caihong was really upset. She was thinking in her heart, who are you looking down on?
No, I can't lose anything today, but I can't lose my momentum. I immediately waved my hand and said, "I want both pieces of cloth."
"this?"
Shopkeeper Yao stamped his feet in embarrassment.
Tian Caihong stepped forward and said, "Boss, there must be a first-come-first-served order when buying things. I came first, and she came later."
Shopkeeper Yao slapped his forehead and said, "You two are wealthy men, I really can't afford to offend you!
Mr. Zhang, how about this? I'll ask someone to get you two more pieces of this material. Today, for my sake, please give them to this lady first. How about that?"
Tian Caihong raised her head and said, "What's the point of giving way? I was clearly here first. Boss, if you don't believe me, you can ask the guys in our shop. They can all testify."
This time the guys were very understanding and nodded in agreement.
"Boss, I can testify that this lady was the first to come."
"Shopkeeper, I can also testify."
"I can also testify."
Tian Caihong raised her head proudly and said, "That's what I said. All right, these two pieces of cloth are mine. It's just twenty taels of silver. You're making me act like I can't afford it.
It's really petty."
Tian Caihong gritted her teeth and paid the money, although her heart was broken the moment the money left her body.
But after all, she defeated Zhang Juexia, and that was enough.
Shopkeeper Yao only had to talk a few words and easily earned the silver. He was already very happy and his face was even more brilliant. "Madam, do you need our shopkeeper to help you deliver it to your home?"
Tian Caihong deliberately said loudly, "Boss, we have a carriage and servants, so there is no need."
"Do you need the embroiderer in our shop to help you make new clothes?
The embroiderers here are all very good at embroidery, and our ready-made clothes are all the most popular styles in the capital.
The finished garments I make are guaranteed to satisfy you, the only issue is the price, right? "
Tian Caihong acted as if she had no shortage of money. "What's the price? I've already bought the best materials, and I'm still short of the money for making new clothes.
Shopkeeper, wait a minute. When my daughter is free someday, our whole family will come to your place to make new clothes."
"That's great, we've all been waiting for you.
Watch your step and walk carefully!
This lady is really generous!"
Tian Caihong gradually lost herself in the flattery of Manager Yao.
