"Before, I was blind to the truth! Girl, please give me some face. Let's stop making trouble. If there is any problem, let's just solve it privately. Why do we have to make it so embarrassing?"
Hearing this, Chu Lu became even more unhappy. Now that she thought about being reported for the first time she did business, she was afraid that the person who reported her was them.
After all, with their reports, their products now become their products. The beneficiaries also become them.
If they hadn't been working on this street and happened to see their products, they wouldn't be making a lot of money today.
As long as they think about it, when they reported themselves a few days ago, they never thought of negotiating with themselves first. It only cost her twelve taels of silver, and Chu Lu felt even more unhappy.
Now that a brick has been thrown at them, they suddenly say they want to negotiate with themselves.
She, Chu Lu, would definitely not be able to take advantage of them so easily.
Chu Lu immediately shouted loudly, "That's not okay!"
"You have caused me to lose twelve taels of silver, and we haven't settled this account yet. I have to report it to the official today, and I will wait for the official to arrest you."
As soon as Chu Lu said these words, the shopkeeper's expression immediately changed.
He never thought that Chu Lu would be so difficult to convince.
You know, this grocery store has been open on this street for five years. Who would have thought that a small humble person could ruin the business here.
The shopkeeper originally thought that this Chu Lu was a womanizer, a soft persimmon and easy to handle. I reported her a few days ago and wanted to take over her business and do it myself.
Unexpectedly, both he and his boss looked away.
This Chu Lu actually turned them into an army.
The shopkeeper looked at Chu Lu with a pale face, wishing he could go forward and tear Chu Lu into pieces.
But in front of so many people, he didn't dare to do anything to Chu Lu.
At this moment, the shopkeeper could only continue to apologize and say, "Girl, if you have something to say, isn't it just twelve taels of silver? We'll just give it to you. I just ask you to stop making trouble. My business has been screwed up, and our whole family has." I have to go eat the northwest wind, can everyone have something to say?"
When Chu Lu heard this, she immediately said, "Twelve taels of silver? Do you think my loss is only worth twelve taels of silver?"
"This is my first time doing business, and you have plotted against me."
Hearing Chu Lu's words, the shopkeeper smiled awkwardly, "Girl, of course I know your losses are more than this, and we are not unwilling to compensate you for your losses. If you have anything to settle, let's go to the back room and discuss it carefully. ?」
After all, Chu Lu was still too young. She saw that the shopkeeper's attitude was quite good, and there were many discussions with her, so she thought it would not be easy for the shopkeeper, so she agreed with the shopkeeper's words and decided to have a good discussion with him. Discuss this business.
"Okay, since you said so, let's discuss it. But I told you, if the result of the discussion is not satisfactory, I will make trouble again."
The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said, "I promise the girl will be satisfied."
At this moment, the boy immediately pulled Chu Lu, as if he wanted to remind Chu Lu not to say this to the shopkeeper. Don't even go in to discuss it.
However, Chu Lu was sure that the shopkeeper didn't dare to do anything to her. She patted her friend's hand and said, "It's okay, I forgive them."
Chu Lu has said this, what else can I say?
But he was not willing to accompany Chu Lu into the tiger's den anymore.
Seeing that Chu Lu couldn't do his job, he immediately excused himself and left.
Chu Lu didn't stop him too much, she just asked him to take a leave of absence for herself and Xin Sanniang.
Said he would go back later.
Naturally, the little boy agreed to Chu Lu happily, and then the little boy left.
When Chu Lu and the shopkeeper walked in, the shopkeeper originally wanted Chu Lu to suffer a little, but Chu Lu was pretty lucky.
When the shopkeeper said he wanted to talk to Chu Lu, a boy suddenly came to the shopkeeper
His side said, "The young master has invited this girl. He wants to talk to her about this business in person."
After hearing what the other party said, the shopkeeper could only let Chu Lu go.
Chu Lu followed the boy to the second floor of the grocery store in a daze.
She didn't know that she was almost beaten just now, and she didn't even know that when the boy took her away, he only winked at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper ignored her look and immediately nodded with understanding and left.
In the private room on the second floor, a man was standing with his hands behind his back, looking out the window in trance.
Until the servant opened the door and reminded in a low voice, "Master, Miss Chu Lu is here."
After hearing this, the man finally turned around.
When Chu Lu saw the man's true face, she was immediately surprised and said, "Why is it you!"
The man has a long, straight black beard, is tall and thin, and is dressed like a wealthy man. ..
Isn't this the man who was bargaining with Chu Lu in front of Chu Lu's stall a few days ago? Unexpectedly, the customer she originally thought was her rival, and he had pushed his product to such a low price before taking it back for research. But now he himself had done a good business, how could Chu Lu be convinced.
The man naturally understood that Chu Lu would definitely not have a good expression when seeing him, so he first smiled at Chu Lu.
"Girl, long time no see. How are you?"
Chu Lu glanced at the man. She didn't like him. "Don't get too close to me. I'm here to talk to you about my compensation."
The man laughed loudly when he heard this and said, "The girl is really interesting. Of course there is no problem. As long as the compensation to the girl is reasonable, I can actually agree to it."
Upon hearing what the other party said, Chu Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she whispered, "Okay, let me tell you straight. First of all, you caused me to be fined twelve taels of silver by the government a few days ago. Do you think you should compensate me for this money?"
Hearing Chu Lu's words, the man did not speak, he just smiled and nodded.
Chu Lu then continued, "Okay, after we finish talking about this, we should discuss other issues. The crafting fee alone for me to make this thing is two taels of silver. In addition, my cost materials It also cost me a tael of silver..."
While Chu Lu was talking endlessly, the man just smiled and nodded. He didn't refute any of Chu Lu's words. Even when Chu Lu's mouth was dry, the man only kindly called the waiter to come over and give him some help. Chu Lu watches tea.
When Chu Lu saw the tea coming, she also lifted her veil and prepared to drink tea.
Although only a graceful outline of the woman's appearance could be seen, the man was still stunned by Chu Lu's appearance.
He originally had other plans for Chu Lu, but when he saw Chu Lu's face clearly, he suddenly had other plans.
He smiled and said, "Whatever the girl wants is easy to say. I just have a few questions to ask the girl."
Seeing that this man was quite sensible, Chu Lu cooperated and said, "You tell me."
Then the man really spoke, and the first question he asked was "Is this toothbrush really the girl's idea?"
Chu Lu said angrily, "It's not my idea. Could it be your idea?"
I have to admit that Chu Lu is somewhat talented at choking.
However, this man was also very stable in terms of emotional control. The man chuckled lightly, and then asked in a low voice, "Then are you still willing to continue doing this business?"
Hearing the man's words, Chu Lu glanced at him faintly, "What should I do? Are you waiting to be reported by you again?"
Chu Lu's frankness finally made the man feel embarrassed. The man laughed and said, "The girl is really humorous."
However, Chu Lu said, "I don't think I'm humorous. Isn't it true that you reported me?"
Seeing that Chu Lu was really going to stop at this matter, the man could only say helplessly, "It was my fault before. Please don't blame me. Don't worry, I won't do this to you again." "
Chu Lu didn't believe a word of what the man said.
.
Until the man suddenly said, "But I wonder if the girl is willing to cooperate with me? I can give you one hundred taels of silver."
When Chu Lu heard about cooperation, she actually wasn't very interested. However, when she heard about one hundred taels of silver, Chu Lu's eyes immediately lit up.
She is studying medicine now so that she can open a medical clinic here in the future, so she also inquired about the price of a shop here.
I heard that a small shop here costs at least fifty taels of silver. This did not include the cost of purchasing other things. He originally had a total of fifty-six taels of silver, but she later spent sixteen taels of silver on setting up the stall. She has less than forty taels she can use now, and the money will definitely continue to decrease. After all, she will stay in the inn for two months, and if she wants to renew her lease, she will definitely have to spend money.
And I don’t know how long it will take to learn this medical skill.
So no matter how she calculated, she might not be able to even afford a shop. Even if she left here in the future, she might not be able to open a medical clinic.
So if I can have an extra one hundred taels of silver in extra income, my budget will be more than enough.
Thinking of this, Chu Lu immediately looked at the other party and said, "How to cooperate?"
Seeing that Chu Lu had taken the bait, the man immediately smiled and said, "I want to take you as my concubine."
This person's thinking is simple. To buy a concubine for one hundred taels, other than going to a flower house to redeem oneself, normal people don't have this price to take a concubine.
However, Chu Lusheng's beauty cost him a hundred taels, and it was worth it just to have such a beauty by his side.
What's more, this Chu Lu is obviously very creative and talented. If I can let her create products for me, she is my concubine, and I will naturally not have to pay for the products in the future.
And even if Chu Lu doesn't know anything, once she gets tired of it and sells it to someone else or Hualou, the sale won't be a loss.
Chu Lu really thought that the other party wanted to cooperate with her, so she pretended to be all ears. She did not expect that the other party actually said such things.
Even a normal woman in this era would not be willing to sell herself as a concubine. After all, she would rather be a poor woman than a rich man's concubine.
