Chapter 39 It’s time to spend money on gifts again
Sure enough, money is spent wherever it is spent.
With the book on her face, she had just closed her eyes for a moment when there was a knock on the door. Dai Qing opened the door and saw Boss Zhang and his driver standing at the door.
"Master, we meet again."
Zhang Shunfu looked at Dai Qing with a smile. The gloom on his face had completely disappeared. He looked energetic, his aim was shining, his nipples were rosy and plump, and he was full of wealth.
Dai Qing let him into the yard and poured him a cup of chrysanthemum tea. "Boss Zhang, you seem to be in high spirits because of the good news. How come you have time to come to my place?"
"Haha... As expected of you, you are a master. You have figured it out again. I followed your instructions and closed my hotel for cleaning. I chose an auspicious day to reopen it. Business has really picked up. It has returned to its previous state."
Zhang Shunfu said as he took out an invitation from his pocket and handed it over with both hands.
"This is the opening of another new store of mine, which will be this Saturday. I invite masters to come and color it."
Seeing Dai Qing's confusion, Zhang Shunfu quickly explained,
"In fact, we have been planning for this store for a long time, but it has been delayed again and again due to the previous incident. Now that the matter has been resolved, we are naturally very happy."
"It's okay to go and enjoy the celebration, but there's no need to cut the ribbon. I'm not used to it." Since the other person was polite, Dai Qing didn't act arrogantly and still remained humble.
"That's fine. As long as the master is willing to condescend to come, it will be a great honor to Zhang. Thank you very much. I will ask the driver Xiaoye to pick you up then."
"No need, just leave your address and I'll go there myself."
Zhang Shunfu did not force it. He understood that people with great abilities tend to have strange tempers, and some people just don't like to be in the spotlight.
This is totally different from how they do business. In order to attract more customers, they always try their best to get involved in any occasion. If they get to know a few people, they may find a business opportunity one day.
After seeing Zhang Shunfu off, Dai Qing lay in the rocking chair. Saturday happened to be her midday shift, so attending the banquet would not affect her work, but she couldn't go empty-handed.
Yes, but you have to spend money.
Fortunately, the small commodity market is not far away and can be reached in half an hour on foot.
Dai Qing changed into a light yellow dress, slung a small leather bag across her body, and walked to the small commodity wholesale market.
When she arrived at the market entrance, Dai Qing moved her small leather bag from her hips to her chest to avoid pickpockets.
The things sold in today's small commodity markets are very diverse, and there is a wide variety of items, from small items like a screw cap to large items like televisions and washing machines, as well as snacks and detergents.
Likewise, the crowd was mixed up and if you weren’t careful, your bag would be stolen.
Dai Qing went to the detergent area and bought a bag of laundry detergent, a bottle of shampoo, and two tubes of toothpaste. She then walked to the handicraft area.
There are many jade, gilded and wooden ornaments of various varieties and fancy shapes.
After looking around, I finally stopped in front of a wooden carving of a Pi Xiu.
The shop owner saw her staring at the Pixiu and quickly came over to introduce it.
"Hey, little girl, do you want to buy a decorative item? This is a Pixiu carved from old red sandalwood. It weighs about three pounds. Both the carving and the wood quality are top-notch."
"It looks good, how much is it?"
During this period, many people had not yet solved the problem of food and clothing, and there were only a small number of people who played with red sandalwood. But what they pursued was the small-leaf red sandalwood that was suitable for making beads or hand-held items.
As for old red sandalwood, it is used to make furniture and wood carvings. Of course, red sandalwood furniture is not something that ordinary people can afford.
