In front of this cloth shop is a five-room shop on two levels, with a small courtyard at the back and side rooms, probably for the clerks to live in. Then go in, there are two more entrances, a large courtyard in the middle, and a back building at the back.
It's quite complete.
Su Mo calculated that this lot and this area would cost five or six thousand taels of silver.
They looked around at the fabric, and the boy over there immediately came up to them with a clear voice, focused eyes, and an absolutely enthusiastic expression.
The shopkeeper over there was fiddling with the abacus, Su Mo smiled slightly, and listening to his voice, she felt very bored.
The cloth is of good quality and the color is acceptable, but it looks a bit old.
She laughed and said to Su Yue: "Second Young Master, the goods here are very old. Why don't we go to the Song's Silk and Satin Shop over there to have a look. They have silk, linen, and cotton."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately raised his head, walked out with a busy smile, and said with cupped hands: "Master, may I ask if you want to buy cloth? The material of my cloth is excellent, and the price is fair."
Su Mo asked about the price, and after hearing this she said, "The shopkeeper's horse is hundreds of dollars more expensive than that one."
The shopkeeper immediately lowered his head and sighed, "If this were before, it would be much more expensive. Normally, a medium-sized piece of satin costs ten taels of silver. However, the Song family relied on their power to get the reward from the palace.
Selling it is only nine taels of silver. If you go back and forth, how can others do business? Naturally, you will make more and more losses. If the goods cannot be exported, people from the south will not send new goods. "
Su Mo nodded. She had just seen Song's Silk and Satin Shop, which must have been owned by the imperial concubine's mother-in-law.
Ordinarily, the queen and the concubine's relatives are not allowed to run the pavement industry in Beijing, but this belongs to the fourth master of the Song family and is not subject to restrictions.
The imperial concubine's father, Song Laoguogong, did not do business at all, so he could not be traced, but who knows if the fourth master came forward and they opened it?!
Su Mo thought about it and said with a smile: "Second Young Master, this house is too big, I'm afraid we won't be able to use it."
As soon as she finished speaking, the shopkeeper immediately understood and his eyes lit up, "Do you two want to sell a shop?"
Su Yue nodded slightly, didn't say much, just showed off.
