"One hundred and forty-three bolts of cloth."
The waiter in charge of the reception said: "The more cloth you buy at Xiping Village Cloth Shop, the cheaper the price will be."
"During the special offer, a piece of cloth costs four hundred cents."
"Buy ten pieces in a group, the price is 380 Wen. If you buy 134 pieces of cloth at one time, the price will be 350 Wen per piece."
"The total price is..."
While speaking, the clerk glanced at the accounting clerk in front of him.
The accountant raised the paper in his hand. There was a series of symbols on it that no one recognized.
Then the waiter smiled and said: "The total price is fifty taels of silver plus fifty wen."
"But considering that you bought so much cloth at one time and are a distinguished customer of our Xiping Village Cloth Shop, the fifty cents will be wiped off directly. I'll just charge you fifty taels of silver."
"Do you want to buy it?"
"If you want to buy it, pay here and I'll get the cloth for you."
"Then you have another chance to draw a lottery."
"purchase."
The man said firmly: "I'm not short of money, but I can't buy acacia wine. I must get acacia wine today."
"Smelling the fragrance arouses the greed in my stomach."
"Even if you can't smoke the acacia, you can just give me a piece of soap. At the very least, I'll be satisfied with a pound of frosting sugar."
"This is fifty taels of silver. Count it."
The man took out an ingot of silver from his pocket. It must be fifty taels from any bank in the world, with guaranteed quality and quantity.
"How brave, the shot is only fifty taels."
"Do you know this man? Why have I never seen him in the county?"
"I don't know him, maybe he's from outside."
"After all, when Xiping Village Buzhuang opened, the notices were posted all over the city and could spread hundreds of miles. It is normal for some wealthy businessmen to come after hearing the news."
"Hey, I'm envious. If I had so much money, I wouldn't have to worry about spending the winter."
"..."
The people queuing around were talking a lot.
Some people were envious, some were bitter, and some scolded him for showing off.
Of course, some people raised doubts, "Brother, Xiangsi Jiutian Mansion once said that the price is five hundred taels per jar, and Xiping Village Cloth Village has obviously raised the price."
"But one pound is worth fifty taels of silver. It's normal that you want to get it."
"But what is that soap? You actually want it too?"
"And that frosting sugar, what is it?"
"You really have no knowledge at all."
The man said disdainfully: "To tell you the truth, the most worthless thing here is the frosting."
"To put it bluntly, it's sugar."
"It's pretty much the same as the brown sugar we usually see, but the sweetness is very strong and there are no impurities."
"Whether it's making porridge or making tea, it can enhance the taste."
"Especially for people who are sick, after drinking the medicine, add a few frosting sugar, and the bitter taste in the mouth will be dispelled immediately."
"Of course, our Dawei Dynasty cannot make this thing. It is a tribute from other countries and is exclusive to the capital."
"Even in the capital, not everyone can participate."
"It must be rewarded by His Majesty."
"Just because it is sweet, the value is slightly lower. You can buy one pound for one thousand taels of silver."
"If I draw it and bring it to the capital, I can get one thousand taels of silver, which is much more valuable than cloth."
"Follow the soap."
"I don't know who made this thing, but it is an excellent thing for washing hands, face and bathing."
"Just dip it in water and smear it a little, and it will clean away the old dirt on the skin, making your skin white, tender and shiny."
"Of course, this is something for women, and a rough old man like me doesn't bother to use it."
"That doesn't stop it from being valuable."
"In the capital, a piece of soap can cost two thousand taels of silver, and it's not easy to buy."
"If I draw this, I will earn more."
"Let's talk about acacia wine again."
"Because it was brewed by Mr. Zhao. In order to take care of his fellow villagers in Donghai County, the price in Donghai County is slightly lower, only 5,000 taels of silver per jar."
"And in the capital, the acacia wine has been sold for 25,000 taels of silver per jar."
"The key is that you may not be able to buy acacia wine with money. I heard that a wealthy businessman couldn't buy a jar even if he paid 50,000 taels of silver."
"Now do you know the value of these prizes?"
"The notice posted in the cloth village of Xiping Village is obviously a preferential treatment for the people of Donghai County. You must seize this opportunity."
"Although I'm not from Donghai County, who made me catch up?"
"If I don't hit it once, I'll draw it again until I hit it."
hiss!
The people around him took a breath when they heard these words.
But more of it is doubt.
A jar of wine can be sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver. Is there really a fool who would spend so much money to buy it?
And the frosting, a sweet thing, is actually so expensive.
As for the soap.
Forget it, I don’t want to mention it.
We are all ordinary people with flat heads digging in the fields. We can wash our faces with a handful of river water, so why do we need soap worth thousands of taels of silver?
It can only be said that they cannot understand the life of the rich.
Of course, some people are excited.
For example, some wealthy households in the county may not have as much money as the four major families, but they still have some wealth.
I thought I would take advantage of the cheap cloth and buy more, hoard it, and use it for three to five years.
Now that this person had popularized their knowledge, they all unconsciously asked themselves - should they add several times the amount of cloth they originally wanted to buy?
Anyway, the cloth is cheap, and you can make a profit if you buy it.
But acacia wine, soap, and frosting sugar are not often available.
Winning a prize can be worth their purchase of thousands of pieces of cloth.
"This distinguished guest, the cloth you purchased has been sorted..."
At this time, the waiter who greeted the strong man came out and said.
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the man, "Let the cloth be stored in your cloth shop first."
"Don't you have a delivery service?"
"When you have free time, just send it to Room 1 of Tianzi in Yipinxiang. I will stay there during this time."
"I've already given you the money, can you draw the prize now?"
"Can."
The clerk smiled and nodded, "When the work is done, I will arrange for someone to deliver the cloth to you."
"This is your proof of buying cloth. When someone delivers cloth to you later, you need to give this to him, otherwise, the cloth will not be given to you."
"If we fail to deliver the cloth to you in time due to a mistake in our work, and you are in urgent need of it."
"You can come to our cloth village in Xiping Village with this voucher, and we will give it to you..."
"Are you bothered?"
The strong man waved his hand impatiently, "Do I care about those people who have more than a hundred pieces of cloth?"
"What I care about is the prize."
"Don't disturb me, lest it affect my luck in the lottery."
After saying that, the strong man went to the lottery box.
The lottery box is a wooden box with many small wooden signs placed inside. The corresponding prizes are written on the wooden signs.
There was a hole on it to accommodate a fist, and the hole was covered with cloth.
I can only put my hand in, but my eyes can't see what's going on inside.
The strong man reached for a sign and handed it to the clerk.
The waiter took one look and said with a smile: "Congratulations to this distinguished guest for winning the fourth prize and ten pieces of cloth as a reward."
"Is this the fourth prize?"
The strong man was a little disappointed, "Why do I need so much cloth?"
"I will give you another fifty taels of silver, and I will continue the lottery."
With that said, the strong man threw another fifty taels of silver to the accountant, and then reached into the lottery box.
The second time, I won a lucky prize, five pounds of candy.
"No, I still want to smoke."
The third time, I won the lucky prize and was rewarded with a puppet.
the fourth time……
"Congratulations to this distinguished guest, he won the first prize and will be rewarded with a bottle of acacia wine."
"Sound firecrackers to celebrate."
