My husband is a sick cat

The greeter at the door is a unique service of Jing'an Trading Company. At any time, there will be a waiter standing at the door. As long as a customer comes to the door, he will take the initiative to ask and then show the way and introduce the goods.

Once the waiter takes the customer in, another person will fill in, unless the guest does not need the waiter to lead the way, but this is rarely the case. After all, Jing'an Trading Company has a lot of goods and a large area. It is difficult for people to find exactly what they want to buy.

"Well, we want to buy some fruit. Do you have any fresh ones?"

Lu Jian answered very skillfully, which made the waiter's eyes light up. Those who can come to their store to buy fruits are usually rich people.

"Yes, the fruits in our store are changed every three days. It's a coincidence that you are here, customers. Today happens to be the day to deliver fruits. The fruits are all very fresh."

In places like ancient times where transportation was underdeveloped, being able to ensure that goods arrived every three days was enough to show the huge potential of this business. This was not something that ordinary businessmen could do.

Tang Ying was moved when he heard this. He had never been to Jing'an Trading Company before. After all, he had no money at that time, but he had also heard about Jing'an Trading Company, so he was still very interested in it.

If he hadn't been in poor health before, maybe he would have embarked on the road of business. Although the scientific examination does not prohibit students who participated in the imperial examination from doing business with officials, there are still some restrictions for fear of collusion between officials and businessmen.

Therefore, if you want to take the imperial examination, you should not be too prominent in business, otherwise you will easily be targeted by people with malicious intentions.

Under the guidance of the waiter, the two quickly arrived at the fruit selling area. The fruit shelves here were the same as those used in Ping'an Town. When they came there, Lu Jian found that the goods were displayed at Jiadian and Ping'an Town. The prices are different, but the prices for the same goods are basically the same.

However, this store has more fruit shelves, and the number and variety of fruits on the shelves are also greater. From this, it can be seen that the consumption level in Lin'an City is higher than that in Ping'an Town.

"Guests, please see, these fruits were just delivered today, and the quality is guaranteed. The following are the unfinished ones from the previous batch. If you want them, guests, you can get a 10% discount."

The waiter said that there were not many fruits in the last batch, and several varieties were no longer available. Apart from not looking as fresh and beautiful as the ones just delivered, there was not much difference and they were not spoiled.

So even if the 10% discount the waiter said is not much, some people will like to buy it, and it will be better to save a little.

Although Lu Jian is not very particular about what she eats, she would not be wronged to choose bad ones if she could have good ones, so she just glanced at the 10% off fruits and then raised her eyes to look at the fresh fruits above.

In addition to the ones they had bought before, Lu Jian also discovered three new varieties, one of which was very similar to the fruit she picked in the mountains, so she pointed at the yellow fruit and asked, "What kind of fruit is this? "

The waiter was slightly surprised that this young lady didn't know this kind of fruit, but he didn't show it. He still smiled and replied: "These are persimmons. You can buy ten of them for only fifteen cents. It's a good deal."

When Lu Jian gave the persimmons he picked to Aunt Zhou, Tang Ying didn't see it, so he didn't know that Lu Jian had picked the persimmons. When he saw that Lu Jian didn't recognize him, he didn't care. He just asked warmly. Said: "You want to eat persimmons?"

"No, I just wanted to ask out of curiosity." Lu Jian refused immediately. There were free ones in the mountains, so why should she pay for them?

"Then what are these five?"

"This is lychee, this is jujube, they are both thirty cents each. These are bayberries, these are longans, they are twenty cents each. This is hawthorn. You can buy two for fifteen cents." Ten.”

The waiter was very dedicated in introducing me.

After listening to the waiter's introduction, Lu Jian looked at Tang Ying: "Ms. sir, what do you want to eat?"

Lu Jian asked casually, and Tang Ying also answered casually.

"It's okay, as long as you like it."

The waiter standing aside looked at the interaction between the two and felt a little embarrassed for some reason. There is no need to show affection in front of singles, right?

"Then I want these dates, lychees, peace fruits, hawthorns and pears."

Lu Jian ordered five items at once, and the waiter was a little surprised. The most surprising thing was that Lu Jian actually knew about Ping'an Guo.

"Does the guest know about Ping'an Guo?"

"I know, I've bought it before."

The waiter immediately nodded, agreed with a smile, and neatly took out the selected fruits and packed them for Lu Jian.

While the waiter was packing, Lu Jian looked at the products at the back and suddenly saw dried fruits such as pine nuts and peanuts. She was stunned. She had not seen them much before in Ping'an Town. Ye Xuan also said that the store did not have them. Occasionally I can buy it at the market, but I didn’t expect it to be found here.

"You still sell dried fruits?"

The waiter raised his head and glanced in the direction of the dried fruit stall, and said with a smile: "We sell it, but there are not many varieties of these things. Except for the main store in Beijing, our store has more varieties, and some varieties are not available in many stores. , Do guests want to bring some?"

"Why do you have so many varieties in your store?"

Lu Jian didn't say buy it, and the waiter didn't care. Even these fruits were enough for him to get this month's reward. Lu Jian naturally had more patience for letting him get the reward.

“Have guests ever heard of digging out a squirrel’s nest?”

Lu Jian smiled dryly and nodded. Not only had she heard of it, she had also taken out two of them herself.

"Most of our dried fruits are actually taken out from squirrel nests. There are many varieties of dried fruits in squirrel nests, but some varieties are not many. Of course, not all dried fruits are taken out from squirrel nests."

"You can get things like peanuts, pine nuts, and walnuts at low prices, but dried fruits like chestnuts and hazelnuts are only found deep in the Qilin Mountains, and most people don't dare to go in and pick them."

"But these can all be found in squirrel nests. Compared with going into deep mountains, digging out squirrel nests is much safer. We are close to Qilin Mountain, and there are many hunters and herb collectors entering the mountains, so the number is relatively large. , other places don’t have such advantages, so naturally there aren’t many.”

"Then if you dig out the squirrel's nest, won't the squirrel starve to death?"

Lu Jian still remembered what Tang Ying said, so last time she dug out a squirrel's nest, she deliberately chose a place further away from the previous one.

"How is that possible? Those hunters and herb gatherers are experienced and will not take away everything. Usually they only take small quantities of chestnuts and hazelnuts, but they will not take away peanuts and the like."

Lu Jian nodded with understanding. She was not the same as someone else.

"Okay, does the guest need anything else?"

While he was talking, the waiter had already packed everything.

"No, let's pay."

"Okay, guest, please follow me."
