North and South groceries

Everything has a source, even rumors. Although Yan Liu is used to using some unappealing tricks, he is obviously not at the same level as those who are really messed up.

Xing Er used all the connections he could use, and followed the vines all the way. After a day of unscrupulous work, he picked out a few foreigners who had been spreading rumors in Chang'an City for the past few days. Douzi is average, and even said everything. According to the information provided by these people, Xing Er quickly found Yan Liutou.

"Yan Liu?" Luo Yong felt a little surprised when he heard the name. He had never heard of Bai Yimao and others mentioning Yan Liu, so he always thought that his intersection with Yan Liu was limited to the two years ago It's just a deposit that was taken away by him.

"Does Saburo know this person?" Xing Er asked.

"I placed an order with him two years ago, and the deposit was paid, but the goods have not been delivered to me." Luo Yong said helplessly.No wonder Du Xi said that Yan Liu was a vicious dog before, but now it seems that he is indeed difficult to deal with.

"This seems to be his style." Xing Er said: "Some of the shops I am familiar with have been forced to borrow money by him."

"Borrowing money?" Could it be usury?

"Obviously there is no need for money, so in order not to offend that Yan Liu, I also bit the bullet and borrowed it. After one or two months, I will pay a large amount of interest and return it together." Xing Eryan said.

"Tsk." This is even worse than usury.

"This Yan Liu, we're afraid we won't be able to touch him for a while." Xing Er said again.

"Why?" Luo Yong knew that Yan Liu had some background, but he didn't know how big his background was.

"This person has some relationship with that Longxi King Gong Li Boyi, the concubine of Li Boyi's eldest son is the sister of Yan Liujia." Xing Er said.

Hearing this, Luo Yong's heart moved: "What is the background of their brothers and sisters?"

"I heard that they are just from ordinary farmers." Xing Er replied.

"That's how it is..." It's easy to compare the other party with yourself if you have a similar background, right?Especially for some jealous people.Apart from this, Luo Yong really couldn't think of any other reason.

"Sanlang, look, how should we deal with this matter?" To be honest, Xing Er has no good way to deal with this kind of tyrannical person. If he provokes Prince Gong's mansion, things will not go well in the end.

"The top priority right now is to return the batch of money and silk first." Luo Yong said: "It's best not to let that Yan Liu find out that we already know about this."

In fact, as long as Luo Yong and the others don't talk about this matter, those outsiders will naturally not talk about it. They just follow orders and do things. After the work is done, it is the one who walks away with money and silk. Who would be so stupid? Still in a hurry to eat the first meal.

So just like that, when Luo Yong and others were busy raising money and silk, Yan Liu was still dreaming of the spring and autumn dream of taking over the groceries from the north and the south.

Being so disturbed by him, it is not easy for Luo Yong to sell bamboo sticks to raise money. After the rumor spread, some people's hearts were fluctuated. At this time, Luo Yong sells bamboo sticks at a low price. The brothers and sisters of the Luo family were about to lose their hold, and wanted to use bamboo sticks to trap some money and run away.

However, Yan Liu still underestimated Luo Yong after all. Even if he didn't have that batch of cashmere, even if he didn't sell bamboo sticks, it's not that Luo Yong couldn't get money and silk. According to the image, it is not difficult to transfer some money in Chang'an City. After all, there are many merchants from Guanhe Road and Guannei Road in Chang'an City. He just doesn't want to talk about it.

As for Yan Liuna's so-called back trick, it is foolish to try to persuade people to use a book.

No one in Chang'an City knew that Luo Sanlang was both an official and a businessman. Although these shops were not listed under his own name, it was still his property that did not run away.The reason why no one has made a fuss about this matter until now is nothing more than the fact that someone above is suppressing it. Whether it is the emperor or the nobles, they all want to see how much money Luo Sanlang has in his stomach. .

Now it is not Luo Yongba who wants to be an official in the imperial court, but those people above want to dig out treasures from him and want him to be an official. Worried that he would misunderstand his children.

After experiencing Yan Liu's incident, Luo Yong remembered that in Chang'an City, there are many people who dislike him. The batch of goods that Luo Erniang sent to him might have been stopped by someone. Yes, maybe it's just outside Chang'an City.

For this matter, Luo Yong specially went to find one of his students, who was a son of a noble family who had gone to Xipo Village to find him to study mathematics before. Their family was in the west of Chang'an City, and they were very familiar with the post station there.

"..."

"Good news good news!"

"Luo Sanlang is short of money!"

"Luo Sanlang owed half of the money to buy the house and couldn't get it back!"

"All Nanbei groceries are on sale with an even [-]% discount!

"[-]% off! [-]% off! [-]% off everything!"

"Three days of promotion! There are surprises every day!"

"Everyone, go and have a look!"

"After passing this village, there is no such shop!"

"..."

In the early morning of this day, there were many children distributing leaflets in the market with loud voices. When everyone heard it, they all got [-]% off, which is not bad!

"The head of the house! The head of the house! Are you listening? The North and South groceries are on sale."

"Listen, listen, listen."

"Go quickly, buy a few more cans of fermented bean curd, and buy a cream cake."

"Hey, I'll go now."

"..."

"Huh? North and South groceries? [-]% off?"

"Could it be that the Yanerfei of Eucommia rubber wheel is also [-]% off?"

"That's much cheaper than usual!"

"Look and see."

"My kid has been wanting a pair of rubber-soled leather boots for a long time, and I'll take a look too."

"..."

"Then Mi Fangzhai's cakes are discounted, wouldn't they be cheaper than their own shop?"

"That's right, look around and look around."

"I heard that Mifangzhai also has a discount today."

"What? What day is it today, why is everyone discounted?"

"Isn't today just the seventh day of the second lunar month, it's not a year or a festival."

"People and children have said that Luo Sanlang is short of money."

"Go, send money to Luo Sanlang, hehe."

"..."

When Luo Yong offered discounts there, the time-honored brands that settled in their supermarkets also discounted, and many merchants in the city joined in the fun, making the whole Chang'an city buzzing.

For several days in succession, the children in Chang'an City were heard shouting: "Good news, good news! Luo Sanlang has no money! Luo Sanlang can't pay back the money he owed to buy the house..."

All the merchants in Hedong Road went to find Luo Yong for groceries in the north and south, saying that if you need money and silk, you can borrow some from them first, and there are also people from Guannei Road. Many of them are direct beneficiaries.

When the old emperor heard the news in the palace, he laughed a few times and sent someone to send a cart of silk cloth.Luo Yong accepted the silk cloth. Anyway, the emperor had plenty of money, so he would not accept it for nothing. As for the proposal of those merchants who wanted to lend him money and silk, Luo Yong thanked them for their kindness, and said that if necessary in the future, he would ask these merchants again. People ask for help, but right now they don't.

The first two days of this sales promotion for Nanbei Grocery were similar, but the third day was the highlight. Even the lines of the children handing out leaflets were different:

"Luo Sanlang is crazy! A batch of cashmere sweaters and pants just arrived yesterday! All are on sale at [-]% off!"

"A set of cashmere sweaters and trousers costs three pennies, [-]% off and a dozen will cost you six hundred cents!"

"..."

A set of cashmere sweater and trousers only sells for around [-] Wen. This price is simply too affordable for the people living in Chang'an City!

Although Luo Yong had sold a set of sweaters and trousers in Lishi two years earlier, it was two years ago, and the price of cashmere at that time was much lower than it is now. Besides, it was in Lishi County, isn't it? Chang'an city.

Many people in Chang'an actually have some money at home and can afford cashmere sweaters and trousers. They also have this willingness to buy, but because the price is too expensive, they are not willing to part with it, so they have been hesitant to wait and see. Unexpectedly, the price of cashmere is getting higher every year. .

Although it is early spring, it is not the right season to buy cashmere sweaters and pants, but they are cheap after all. For many people at this time, this set of cashmere sweaters and pants can be regarded as a big item at home, and it is not like the 21st century. New models have to be replaced every year, whether to buy in spring or autumn, there is no difference at all.

There were too many people coming to Nanbei Grocery to buy cashmere sweaters and pants, so they had to be guarded at the entrance of the store to limit the number of people entering. Outside the store, there was a long queue.

The batch of cashmere sweaters and trousers sent by Luo Erniang are of high-quality materials and exquisite workmanship. In terms of cost, each set of sweaters and trousers is about [-] to [-] yuan, plus shipping costs, at most it is [-] yuan Up and down, Luo Yong sells about [-] Wen, which is considered a small profit but quick turnover compared to the entire cashmere market.

Ordinary merchants go to Liangzhou City and other places to buy goods, and then transport them back to Chang’an City for sale. The cost is high, the time is long, the journey is long, and they have to risk being robbed by bandits. The price has not doubled. , they didn't want to make a move at all.

The batch of goods that Luo used had been detained in a place less than a hundred miles away from Chang'an City.

Luo Yong didn't know whether the person who seized the goods had a connection with Yan Liu, or was motivated by money. After all, the people who were able to seize the goods were also powerful, unlike those few in Chang'an City. Foreigners who spread rumors say everything if they are easily frightened.

Besides, Luo Yong asked someone to help him deal with it. The purpose was to transport the goods to Chang'an City smoothly, and nothing else was mentioned. After all, it would be great if they could help you get the goods back. To make enemies for Luo Yong.

After this crazy three-day promotion, the impact of the previous rumors has long been washed away by the surging passenger flow.

The customers who came into the store in the past few days are full of shopping, and the biggest worry is that they don't know whether to buy this, or that, or both.As for the money bag, few people really thought of it.

In fact, shopping for groceries in North and South is quite safe. In the 21st century, there were still thieves in supermarkets, and there was nothing supermarkets could do about it.

There is a place in Xing'er Town for Luo Yong's North and South groceries, usually thieves dare not come, and there are still those children watching, even if they come, it is not so easy to get started.

After the three-day promotion, the big and small employees in the shop were no longer the worried look they were in the past few days. The money Luo used was in place, and the business in the shop was also very good.

As for the rumors outside, many people have heard it and let it go. To be honest, losing a purse is not a big deal. You can find it wherever you lost it. If you come to the shop and tell Luo Sanlang, Luo Sanlang might be able to help him find it, and besides, it might not just be lost in this shop.

"Master, Yan Liu sent people here today." When Xiu Mu came to the shop again this day, a disciple said to him.

"Oh, what did he say?" Luo Yong raised his eyebrows.

"Then Yan Liu asked someone to come over and say, Master, the arrears you wrote earlier are now in his hands, and he told us that if we still have cashmere sweaters and pants in our hands, we should not continue to sell, and we can directly use this to pay for it Qian Bo."

"He's really good at thinking." Luo Yong sneered.

Now the arrears can be repaid, and the rumors have basically dissipated. The operations of the two stores, Ajie Food Shop and Nanbei Grocery, are also on track. It’s almost time to free up your hands to clean up the sundries. So what if you have a backer? , really thought he was afraid of that Prince Gong's mansion?
