Nowadays, this thing is just made of some bristle and bamboo, and you actually have to spend a tael of silver to buy it.
These people are not fools, and their money is not blown by the strong wind. When everyone is not rich, naturally everyone wants to break the money in half and spend it.
As for this toothbrush, although it is very convenient, first of all, people are not used to using toothbrushes. Secondly, the price is too high. After all, most of the people who can buy things at the stalls are just ordinary people, so Chu Lu The morning's work was almost in vain.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Chu Lu waited for a middle-aged man wearing silk clothes and very well-dressed. There was only one boy behind him.
This looks like a rich man.
If the other party knows the goods, maybe I can make this first order.
Chu Lu was very excited when she saw the other party coming.
And the middle-aged man did not disappoint her. Before she could attract customers, the middle-aged man stopped in front of her stall.
He was playing with this little thing and seemed to find it very novel.
Chu Lu was also afraid that the guest would leave, so she immediately introduced this thing to the guest, "Sir, this is a toothbrush, which is usually used to brush your teeth. This thing is more convenient for brushing your teeth than a willow branch. A willow branch is a once-in-a-lifetime brush." It’s non-toxic, but it can be used repeatedly. Moreover, brushing your teeth with this one has a stronger cleaning power.”
"If you don't believe it, look at my teeth. I use this toothbrush to brush them all the time."
While speaking, Chu Lu risked her life for this business. She lifted her veil and exposed her teeth. Her teeth were as white as glutinous rice pearls.
The persuasiveness is indeed very strong.
The guest laughed, and then he just asked Chu Lu in a low voice, "How do you use this thing?"
Naturally, Chu Lu just demonstrated it to the other party.
The guest nodded, seeming to really appreciate the gadget.
Then he asked Chu Lu, "Then how do you sell this toothbrush?"
Chu Lu immediately pointed out a finger and said, "One tael of silver each."
Hearing this, the boy behind the guest couldn't help but complain, "Isn't your thing too expensive? For one tael of silver, we can just buy a piece of bamboo?"
Hearing this complaint again, Chu Lu couldn't help but doubt her life. She could only say without confidence, "That's eight hundred coins. You can buy it and try it. If you think it's useful, just come back next time." "
The middle-aged man smiled and said nothing, but the boy said again, "Eight hundred cents? Don't you think it's outrageous? You don't need a cent for this small piece of bamboo."
Chu Lu didn't expect that this person was also a good bargainer. She said helplessly, "We are a small business. Although the materials are not expensive, they are difficult to make and the production costs are more than that. Otherwise, I will give you seven Is it possible to achieve a hundred articles?”
However, she didn't expect that the strongest among the best, the man finally said, "Five hundred coins, I will buy one for five hundred coins. If it works well, I will recommend other customers to do business with you. If it doesn't work, I will." gone."
Although the five hundred coins far exceeded Chu Lu's psychological price.
However, Chu Lu didn't make any business all morning, and if all these toothbrushes could be sold, she wouldn't actually lose money.
So after struggling, Chu Lu nodded to them, "Okay, five hundred coins is the lowest price, I can't afford any less."
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, "That's natural. Girl, please wrap up my toothbrush for me."
Chu Lu naturally just nodded when she heard this, and when she nodded, she just said to the man, "Guest, if you find it useful, come again next time. It would be even better if you could introduce the guest to me. "
The middle-aged man just chuckled and said, "Okay."
After taking the toothbrush handed over by Chu Lu, the guest led the boy away.
As soon as the guest left, Chu Lu didn't receive a guest for a long time.
After the middle-aged man left Chu Lu's stall, he went straight to the corner.
Went to a grocery store nearby.
When the shopkeeper of the grocery store saw the other party coming, he immediately ran over to greet him, "Master, why are you here?" Kan Shula
The shopkeeper didn't say anything. He just threw the gadget he just bought to the shopkeeper and said, "This thing looks good. You can ask someone to study how to make it. If it's not troublesome to make, we can also make it in our shop in the future." You can put something like this on the shelves.”
After hearing what the boss said, the shopkeeper immediately nodded.
Then the owner just said, "By the way, the stall in front of our shop outside is paid for?"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately whispered, "No."
The owner seemed to have a problem immediately. He said to the shopkeeper, "That's not a place to set up a stall. Please report him to me immediately! He said she was occupying the road to run the business."
After hearing what the owner said, the shopkeeper secretly thought that the stall owner was really unlucky for eight lifetimes when he bumped into their owner, the living king of hell.
This man has no moral integrity.
However, although the shopkeeper complained in his heart, he did not dare to disobey his boss's order.
After receiving the order, the shopkeeper arranged for someone to sue the official.
Chu Lu didn't know that she had bumped into the Living King of Hell today. She was even thinking that this customer was really good. After he left, she actually waited for two more customers. She adjusted the price, only adjusting the price of the toothbrush to 500 yuan and actually sold it.
Although she hasn't recovered her capital yet, if two more people come, her business will be able to maintain its capital.
And just when Chu Lu was thinking about preserving his capital, a group of officials not far away came toward Chu Lu aggressively.
Although Chu Lu didn't know why the other party came, looking at the other party's posture, Chu Lu also understood that the other party came for her.
No! Could it be that there were urban management officials in ancient times?
Chu Lu thought about this, and immediately packed up her stall and prepared to leave. However, she never expected that the ancient urban management officials were more desperate than the modern ones. Chu Lu ran forward desperately, and they chased behind her.
In the end, Chu Lu was blocked by this group of people at Sanli Bridge, unable to do anything.
"You little lady, why are you running away!" One of the officers only scolded Chu Lu after catching up with her.
Upon hearing this, Chu Lu immediately whispered, "Aren't you the ones who arrested me?"
After hearing this, the officer immediately said, "Of course I will arrest you."
When Chu Lu heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes, "Isn't this the end? If you catch me and I won't run away, am I still waiting to be caught by you?"
However, the official only followed suit and said, "But what's the point of running away? You're not going to be caught by us!"
After hearing this, Chu Lu thought about it carefully and felt that what they said made sense, and she was immediately speechless.
She said to the officer, "Gentlemen, I didn't kill or set fire to my little girl. I was just doing business. Why are you arresting me?"
Upon hearing Chu Lu's question, the leader only said, "Someone reported you for occupying the road."
Chu Lu was dumbfounded when she heard this. She said helplessly, "Guards, this little girl is just begging for food in the open space. Why can't I do what they do?"
When Chu Lu pointed out the other vendors, the leader only whispered, "They paid fees with the store. So we have no control over their business."
Chu Lu was speechless, "Then I don't know that I have to pay the stall fee? The shop owner can come over and discuss it with me. It's not like I'm unwilling to pay the stall fee, so why did he just report it to the official!"
Hearing Chu Lu's yelling, the official only said, "We have no control over this. Since you are occupying the road for business, we will confiscate your personal income and fine you five taels of silver."
Hearing the punishment from the official, Chu Lu couldn't help but widen her eyes, "What! You said five taels of silver! Aren't you going to kill me? What I earned today is not as much as what you punished me for."
However, those officials didn't care how much Chu Lu earned. They said coldly, "We can't control this. Just pay the money as soon as possible, otherwise we will detain you and take you to the government."
As soon as she heard that she was going to enter the government, Chu Lu panicked and said, "That can't be done!"
However, the officials don't care about this. They are only responsible for registering "Which chamber of commerce do you belong to!"
Chu Lu immediately asked, "What chamber of commerce?"
An official said impatiently, "This is the chamber of commerce that allows you to operate!"
Hearing this question, Chu Lu was completely dumbfounded, "No. I don't have a chamber of commerce."
Then Chu Lu heard the official say, "Very good. You are not qualified to do business, but you are operating here. If you operate illegally, you will be fined another five taels, for a total of ten taels, plus your illegal income. We are here." I have to charge you eleven denarii plus five hundred copper coins."
Hearing the news, Chu Lu felt like she was struck by a bolt from the blue. Eleven taels of silver and five hundred copper coins. If she added another five hundred copper coins, it would be enough for her to renew the lease for another two months.
She really wants to cry now. This business has really been something that ordinary people like them have not been able to touch since ancient times. If you are not careful, you will lose all your money.
In the transaction like hers today, not only did she not make any profit, but she also lost what she had originally earned.
Although Chu Lu was reluctant to pay the ten-tael fine, she also knew very well that if she continued to tangle with these officials, there would definitely be no good fruits waiting for her.
So after that, Chu Lu finally handed over her fine to the official, and her stall's toothbrush products were also confiscated.
After suffering such a dumb loss, Chu Lu naturally had no choice but to eat Coptis chinensis while being dumb, unable to express her suffering.
Everything was taken away, so Chu Lu naturally said nothing more. She returned to the inn dejectedly.
The waiter at the inn was too busy to touch the ground at this moment.
After finally getting the chance, the waiter at the shop immediately brought a bowl of Yangchun noodles in front of Chu Xiang, "Girl, you must be hungry. This is your noodles, so just eat it quickly."
Hearing what the waiter said, Chu Lu showed a grateful expression, and then he hugged the bowl of Yangchun noodles and finished it ferociously.
After eating, Chu Lu did not leave. She was waiting for the waiter to come over and ask questions.
