Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 251 Settlement of Accounts

Luo Yanxing was stunned. Isn't it true that the more material a piece of jewelry is made of, the more expensive it is?

She looked at Song Ying, a little confused.

Song Ying nodded slightly and said to the waiter, "Brother, we don't have much money, so we can't buy this bracelet. Do you have a silver bracelet of one or two taels?"

"Yes." The waiter quickly put away the wooden box and put it back in the cabinet at the back. He then took out two wooden boxes from another cabinet. "These bracelets are sold by weight. One coin is 1 wen."

Looking at the bracelets in the wooden box, to be honest, Song Ying was a little disappointed. The styles inside were not much different from those in the silver shop on West Street. In the silver shop on West Street, 1 qian was 190 wen, which was 10 wen more expensive here.

She frowned and said, "Young man, your store is too expensive. I went to other silver shops to ask a few days ago, and they only sold 1 coins for 180 coin."

"That's not the way to compare. The silver jewelry in our store is all pure silver. We don't need to worry about whether some of the jewelry is cheap or short of weight. Even if some of the jewelry is short of weight, it's still good. If you encounter a dishonest one, they will only plate a layer of silver on the outside, and who knows what kind of mess is inside."

Song Ying seemed to be a relative of other silver shops, and he was very helpful: "Brother, don't scare me. Other silver shops are also opening stores to do business, and they all value integrity.

As the saying goes, if you walk along the river, you will get your feet wet. If they really dare to do that, sooner or later they will meet someone who is more serious, find out the truth and file a complaint with the government. How can they keep their shop open? "

Without stopping for a moment, she continued without giving the waiter a chance to explain, "Besides, the price of silver is public. One tael of silver is worth 1 coins. If we calculate it at 10 coins, one coin is about 800 coins. Even if we calculate it at 1 coins, one coin is only 80 coins.

190 coins per penny means the craftsmanship fee is 1 coins, which is not a low price. You sell it at 100 coins per penny and charge 200 coins for the craftsmanship fee. This is too expensive. I might as well take out some small change and ask a silversmith to make it. He would only charge 1 coins at most. "

The waiter was stunned by what he said. He had worked in the shop for so many years but had never calculated these accounts. After listening to Song Ying's calculation, he also felt that it was very expensive.

But he was a worker, so he had to speak for his boss. He said, "We run a shop and do business, so we can't just count the wages of the craftsmen. We have to pay for renting the shop, and we also have to pay the wages of our employees."

"Then yours is also very expensive. You charge 1 wen for one liang. If I buy a bracelet weighing two liang, you can earn 120 wen. The silversmith you hired won't charge by weight, right?

Even if your store really pays workers according to the weight of the jewelry, after deducting 100 coins for workers, there is still 20 coins left. Your store can sell so many jewelry in a month. For this bracelet, you have to spend 20 coins on store rent and labor costs?"

Song Ying looked around the store and said, "Silver jewelry should be the cheapest in your store. Other gold, jade and gemstones should make more money, so the rent and labor costs should be higher. How much taels of silver do you get per worker?"

The waiter was speechless, the account was so clear that he couldn't explain it at all.

Song Ying looked at him and said sincerely, "Young man, if you are sincere in selling it, just sell it to us for 100 coins and 1 cent. We will pick a bracelet weighing more than 1 tael, and you can make to coins. It's not a loss."

Luo Yanxing and others were shocked. Song Ying was really bold. He bargained and cut the price in half!

"Sir, how can you bargain like this? I have to lose money..." The waiter was about to say something to deal with the customer's bargaining, but halfway through, he remembered that Song Ying had calculated the bill clearly, so he had to swallow the rest of his words.

The calculations are so clear that it is impossible to compensate.

The waiter was so upset that he wanted to cry. He had been selling goods for all his years and had never encountered a situation like this.

He opened his mouth, and opened it again, but after a long while, he still couldn't figure out how to respond to Song Ying's bargaining.

Finally, he said with a sad face, "I can't make the decision. Wait, I'll call the shopkeeper."

Song Ying nodded with a smile: "Okay, go ahead, we'll wait for you."

As soon as the waiter entered, Luo Yanxing and the others all looked at Song Ying in unison, "You are really amazing! This is the first time we have seen someone who haggled so hard that the merchant was speechless."

Song Ying shook his head proudly, "This is called not fighting a battle without preparation!"

They had just said a few words when a young man in brocade clothes lifted the curtain and came out, followed by the waiter with a sad face.

Song Ying and others widened their eyes. Is this the owner of Yulingxuan?

In their impression, the shopkeeper is either a middle-aged man or an old man, and this man's dress is like a young master from a wealthy family.

"This is our boss." The waiter introduced them, "Boss, this is the customer who wants to buy the bracelet."

The young man looked at the faces of several people one by one, his peach blossom eyes were full of affection, which made Erni and Tian Fang, the two older ones, blush. Then he asked: "Which girl was the one who settled the account just now?"

The waiter pointed at Song Ying, and Song Ying said, "It's me."

The young master was a little surprised. He thought it would be the two older ones, but he didn't expect it to be such a childish little girl.

"The little girl is quite good at accounting," he praised.

Song Ying was also unceremonious, "I have been good at accounting since I was a child. I used to help my grandma with the accounting when she sold duck eggs."

The young master smiled and said, "Little girl, are you interested in working as an accountant in our store?"

Luo Yanxing widened his eyes and looked at Song Ying in surprise. He never expected his boss to say that.

Song Ying was also confused, and it took a while before he said, "Thank you for your appreciation, but I don't want to be an accountant."

Luo Yanxing sighed secretly. The drought killed some, and the flood killed some. Song Ying was already an apprentice in a medical clinic, and Yulingxuan invited her to be an accountant. She wanted to find a job in the city, but she had not found one yet.

Alas, why don’t I have Song Ying’s brain, who can not only learn those obscure medical skills, but also calculate complicated accounts.

We grew up together, so why haven’t I learned even a little bit of her intelligence?

She was still sighing in her heart when Song Ying had already turned the topic back to buying the bracelet.

"Boss, I think I've already told you our purchase price. Are you willing to sell it to us for 100 wen and 1 qian?"

"Don't be anxious, little girl. There's no rush for the bracelet. Let's talk about the accounting first. The wages in our store are very high.

You have never worked as an accountant before, so you need to learn for a while. During the learning period, I will pay you 1 tael of silver. After you get the hang of it, I will pay you 2 taels of silver per month."

Luo Yanxing and the others took a deep breath and sighed at the generosity of their boss.

Song Ying, who had seen the generosity of the Shen family, was unmoved. She only prepared medicinal meals twice a day in the Shen family and received a salary of 1 yuan.
