An Lan smiled but said, "Master, this dress costs thirty taels of silver a piece."
"W-what? Thirty-two pieces of clothes?"
An Lan continued to smile and output: "Yes, thirty taels."
Zheng Gu's expression management now is much better than when Gu Nansheng heard the price.
Well, how much money can a policeman make in a month? Even if some of them are filial, it will take him one or two years of savings to afford it.
If you look constipated, that’s right!
The master had specifically told her two days ago to be careful when visiting the store, as there might be trouble from the government officials.
"Why don't you go and grab it?"
An Lan calmly pointed to the wooden sign beside him: "Master, our store has clearly marked prices, not just shouting them casually."
Zheng Gu stared at the piece of writing that said, Lotus leaf silk lotus skirt thirty taels of silver a piece, and then took a closer look at the silk thread that he hooked up, which happened to be the one on the pink lotus bud that was about to bloom. A pink silk thread.
In this way, it is indeed not a random bidding.
But a piece of clothing is really so expensive!
Zheng Gu said in a distressed and sour tone: "The price is so high, can it be sold?"
"Master, we sold six sets yesterday. We just opened today and have two more sets customized."
The newcomer following Zheng Gu hissed and muttered: "You are so rich. One set of clothes can feed my family for a year."
When he said this, Zheng Gu felt even more distressed.
The purpose of his coming here is to find trouble, but now is a good time. Before he starts to show off, he has already invested thirty taels of silver.
"Master, do you think you should pay now or write an IOU?"
At this time, a jeweled woman came into the store, accompanied by two girls of about sixteen or seventeen years old.
Zheng Gu had been in Dengfeng County for so many years, and he recognized her at a glance as Mrs. Tian Er.
The Tian family in Dengfeng County is the second room, and the second room is a concubine of the Tian family. Apart from being rich, he has no rights. But the big room is different. He is an official in Kyoto!
Mrs. Tian Er naturally recognized Zheng Gu.
"Shopkeeper, what's going on? Did you write an IOU?"
"Oh, it's like this. The official wanted to buy clothes just now, but he accidentally damaged the clothes. The official felt sorry for us people who were having a hard time, so he said he would pay compensation. I guess he was out on errands, didn't he? I brought so much cash with me, so I thought about writing an IOU, but I still believe the official’s IOU.”
Mrs. Tian Er opened her mouth.
That mouth is so powerful on weekdays, but now I don’t know what to say.
She will bring her daughter here today, the Lu family, which is the opposite family to hers. Her daughter is wearing a particularly beautiful dress. Her two daughters saw it and insisted on buying it, not wanting to be compared to the Lu family's.
Why don't you bring people here early in the morning?
I didn't expect to encounter this.
Mrs. Tian Er cleared her throat and said hesitantly: "Shopkeeper, why don't you do this? I bought this dress."
"I won't count on this. You have to ask the official. He took a fancy to it first."
Zheng Gu felt relieved. Seeing that the shopkeeper and Mrs. Tian Er were looking at him, he nodded quickly: "Mrs. Tian Er likes it, so you guys go first. I have something else to do, so I'll take the first step."
After saying that, he left Yishangfang as if running away.
Damn it, I was so frightened that I broke into a cold sweat just now.
Fortunately, he escaped quickly, otherwise the income for one or two years would be gone.
At this time, Zheng Gu completely forgot about Yu County Cheng's instructions to go find trouble in the shop.
Including the lotus leaf silk lotus skirt, Mrs. Tian Er bought three pieces in total, as well as two sets of accessories to match the clothes, spending a total of one hundred and thirty-five taels of silver.
"Mrs. Tian Er, we have a membership system here. You can pre-deposit five hundred taels in our store, and you will be an initial member. In this way, you can immediately have low prices for the clothes and accessories in your hands, which only costs one hundred and twenty. Eight taels of silver."
By doing this calculation, you can save seven taels in one go.
Quite a few.
Mrs. Tian Er was moved and asked: "What are you talking about as an initial member? Are there higher-level members?"
Anlan's eyes lit up.
"Yes, if Madam is not in a hurry, why not go to the second floor to learn more about it?"
But just sitting for a while might save a dozen or twenty taels of silver. Naturally, I had time, so I took my two daughters to the second floor with An Lan.
When the second floor was originally renovated, Su Yixin set aside two private rooms specifically for entertaining distinguished guests.
There are more wealthy people here than in Yuyuan Town.
Some people need style and need a luxuriously decorated room to highlight their unique identity.
Tian Huilan looked at the light blue layout of the private room and the embroidery on the tablecloths on the tables and stools. They were all exquisite. After sitting down, two plates of snacks were brought to her by the servants. They looked really good.
She can be regarded as a pampered rich wife. Her family is in the food business, and she has eaten many exquisite and delicious snacks, but she has never seen the two items in front of her.
Not to mention eating it.
After the two daughters sat down, they couldn't help but immediately took a seemingly crystal clear snack and put it into their mouths. It was soft and glutinous, not greasy, and didn't stick to their teeth. A fresh and sweet taste filled their mouths.
"Mom, try it, this snack is really delicious."
Under An Lan's smiling gaze, Mrs. Tian Er raised her orchid fingers, took a piece and put it into her mouth. With just one bite, her eyes twinkled.
"The taste is really unique. I didn't expect to get such delicious snacks in this clothing store."
"As long as Madam and the two girls like it."
After all, Mrs. Tian Er was used to big scenes and the snacks were delicious. She only ate one piece and asked Anlan about the membership system.
An Lan said: "This membership system is not difficult. It is to set a certain level based on the customer's purchasing power. If you deposit 500 taels in advance, you can get a 15% discount. Oh, it means a clean and flat 95% off."
"If you deposit one thousand taels in advance, you are an intermediate member and you can get a 92% discount. Take the clothes that my wife just bought as an example. The original price was one hundred and thirty-five taels of silver, so the 92% discount is one hundred and twenty-four taels.
If you deposit 3,000 taels in advance, you are a premium member and you can get a 12% discount, which is equivalent to 1,180 taels;
If you deposit 5,000 taels in advance, you will be a silver member, and with a 15% discount, you will get 1,140 taels;
If you deposit 10,000 taels in advance, you will become a gold member. With a 20% discount, the total is 1,080 taels. Our Yishangfang also has another preferential benefit for the top twenty gold members, that is, when new styles are launched in the store, the top twenty members have priority to choose. And free door-to-door measurements and reservations are accepted. "
An Lan said as he handed the algorithm to Mrs. Tian Er.
Mrs. Tian Er calculated that the more money she spent, the more cost-effective it was, but this method of doing business was aimed at people with a strong family background.
If you buy the next clothes from Yishangfang, you can really save a lot of money by depositing them in advance.
Acting like a spoiled child is really useful. Thank you all for your votes. I am asking for votes online. I love you so much!
