At the gate of the city, a caravan dressed as foreigners was queuing up to enter the city.
Kunming City is located on the border, but since Xiping Hou put down the rebellion and was ordered to guard the border town here, a large number of Han people moved in, and business prospered, it became a favorite place for neighboring tribes and countries.
The general in the caravan was asking the city gate soldiers about the good places in the city.
"Is this your first time here? Are you here to do business?" The city gate soldiers looked at the caravan.
Seeing that there was nothing suspicious, he said enthusiastically: "You have asked the right person. You must be worried that you don't have a proper place to go with so many things. There is a Guangfeng water and perfume shop over at Ximen. You should go there first with people and goods.
, take a good bath first, relax in it quickly, just put the goods in there, don't throw them away. After relaxing, if you want to sell goods, you will definitely be interested in his North and South Goods Store."
"Perfume okay?"
"Oh, it's a place for purification and bathing." Seeing a group of people who didn't understand the language staring at him, the city gate soldier said and gestured, "It's just for washing, wiping, wiping... it's very comfortable!"
It's absolutely worth every penny! He can't wait to soak in it every day.
Tongshi nodded. Oh, I understand, I understand. Is this still the case?
"Of course. Yeah..."
The city gate soldier yelled at a carriage parked inside the city gate, "That's Guangfeng Shui's carriage. Whether you're going to their perfume shop or the north-south goods shop, take their carriage and they can take you there."
There are also special carriages? There won’t be any pitfalls, right?
So considerate? Why does it feel a little uneasy? You won't be ripped off, right?
"Don't worry, those two shops are opened by our Crown Prince's wife. Does the Mu Palace of the Duke of Guizhou know about it?"
The general nodded repeatedly. When you come to Yunnan, why don't you know the Mu Mansion, the Duke of Guizhou's mansion?
"That's easy to say. Those two shops are opened by our Crown Prince's wife. On the street, you will see the shop with the Guangfeng Shui name. That is also the shop of our Crown Prince's wife. The "Yi Shang" hanging inside
'The two words are still inscribed by our emperor. Just go ahead with confidence and make sure that you are not deceived."
The general manager was dubious and chatted with the caravan steward. The steward stared at the gate soldiers for a while before nodding hesitantly.
The general stuffed some benefits to the city gate soldier, thanked him, and gave him the money to enter the city, and the group walked towards Guang Fengshui's carriage.
I arrived at the perfume store with trepidation. Once I entered, it was an eye-opener.
In broad daylight, the place was packed with people, as lively as a market. The guests were lightly dressed, walking around in small groups, looking as happy as if they had found gold.
There are various fragrant soup pools in the yard, with different levels and prices. Not only that, the various services are also dazzling for them.
The general went into the Grand View Garden, gave the clerk a dime of reward, and answered whatever he asked, showing great patience.
The clerk accepted the reward generously and thanked him.
After taking a look at everyone, he suggested: "I see that you are all distinguished guests from afar. I'm afraid you may be very tired from the journey. It's not good for you to hang out with everyone when you're here for the first time. How about I take you to the big box?"
It’s more comfortable for a group of people to be together.”
Seeing that the other party agreed, the waiter led a group of people to a quieter private courtyard where they couldn't even hear the noise. The scenery in the courtyard was good, and there was food and drink.
"Everyone, please eat less, otherwise I'm afraid you will feel uncomfortable after soaking in the hot soup for a while. After you are done soaking, we will provide you with free tea and snacks. If you want to eat better, you can also pay to ask our kitchen to provide it to you.
Do it alone.”
Ever since a group of foreigners came in, they couldn't see enough. It was like looking at a Western scene. They hated their parents for having a pair of missing eyes. They couldn't see enough. Everything felt strange.
After taking off my clothes and soaking in the fragrant soup pool, I felt that my whole body was a few kilograms lighter. Then I was rubbed and massaged...Grandpa Tianshen, they never knew that they were so dirty and it was a disgrace to the tribe.
After rubbing and massaging, my whole body feels so comfortable and as light as a swallow.
All of them were tired from the journey, their faces were rosy, and their bodies were healthy. Everything they ate tasted delicious. They ordered a few stir-fried dishes, ate them happily, drank some wine, and felt as happy as gods.
I heard that there will be singing, dancing and drumming to watch, so what are you waiting for? I went right away and didn’t have to wait a moment longer. Although they couldn’t understand or understand it, it didn’t stop them from enjoying it.
Even the people next to me seemed to understand what they were saying. I immediately felt like I fit into the place. It was so happy. I even started dancing along with it.
After enjoying the singing and dancing, listening to storytelling, we went back to bathe.
After making soup, we ordered various late-night snacks and stir-fries. Everything was exquisite and tasted particularly good. A group of people almost gnawed the plates. After eating, it was already late at night. I heard that you can sleep in the perfume shop, so I spent another day.
A pen of silver will be spent on perfume.
They didn't even bother to look for the inn, and decided to get up in the morning and continue taking a bath. They never knew that purifying could be so comfortable. They hadn't purified themselves along the way, so why not take a good bath?
Early in the morning, before opening for business, Huo Xi was meeting with everyone in the flower hall at the last entrance of the North and South Goods Store.
"Everyone must have seen the business situation these days. We are the only business. It is the time when customers are surprised. The number of customers coming in every day is only increasing. Although it is very hard for everyone to receive, the daily workload is extremely high.
It’s big, but we must not take it lightly. We win with service and goods. When selecting goods from the source, we must be careful and check every step. From procurement to warehousing to shelving to shopping guides, we need to check at all levels.
If you pass off a substandard product, ruining the quality and damaging the reputation of our shop, we will not take it lightly!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
Grandpa Tianshen, I have never been so tired. These past few days have been like fighting. But I am also the happiest. I never knew that so many people could come in when opening a shop to sell goods!
If there could be so much business every day, they would rather be a little more tired! They would be happy just to see box after box of silver carried by the accountant to Sihai Bank every day, and it would take several horse-drawn carriages to transport it all.
God, I am so lucky to be able to work here and see such a scene.
Although it's a bit tiring here, you earn a lot. The guys who clean the store and boil water and make tea in the kitchen get one tael of silver every month, and there's also a bonus at the end of the month.
Not to mention other people, those shopping guides will only be paid more according to the more work they do, not to mention the purchasing and accounting clerks, who dares to take it lightly?
If you are fired, where can you find such a good job?
I heard that some accountants got cramps in their hands from counting money every day and could not hold their chopsticks steady when eating. But every time I saw them, their mouths were grinning and they looked like they couldn't close their mouths.
I'm so envious that they would be willing to count the coins until their hands become weak and sleep on the money box.
