Chapter 547: Women’s fighting power should not be underestimated
In fact, it’s not the waiter’s fault for being biased. These days, most families are run by men.
Especially for farmers, big items like looms have to be decided by the head of the family.
After the waiter finished explaining the two cheap wood looms, he said to the men:
"Sir, do you like any of these two looms?"
The men looked at each other, they didn't expect this.
In such a large shop, the price of the loom was even cheaper than the one Wu Hongren bought for the villagers.
Moreover, these two looms look similar to the one Wu Hongren bought on behalf of others.
Deep down, they were all satisfied with the loom.
But buying a big item like a loom is not something you can do on a whim.
Several men hesitated, wanting to see if anyone else would make a decision first.
Seeing that no one spoke, the waiter pointed to another relatively better loom and introduced it attentively:
"Sir, please take a look at this loom; it is made of fine cypress wood.
You can take this kind of loom home and use it for decades without any problem!
Don’t worry…”
Lu Qingqing listened to the waiter's introduction to the loom and silently compared the advantages and disadvantages of them.
Although she doesn't weave silk on a daily basis, she does have some knowledge of looms.
She had tried all the looms, whether they were the cheaper ones owned by Widow Meng in the village or the more expensive ones placed in Manager Cheng's backyard.
Therefore, we can also understand some of the tricks inside the loom.
At this moment, he pointed at the loom that the waiter had just introduced and asked directly:
"How much silver is this cypress wood worth?"
The waiter was still sizing up the men's expressions, wondering whether to continue the introduction or change to another one.
Lu Qingqing, who was behind him, was caught off guard and suddenly spoke, and was startled.
But he quickly reacted and said enthusiastically:
"Girl, you have a good eye. This cypress loom is both light and easy to use!
The skilled ladies in our shop all use this kind of loom.
This loom usually sells for seven and a half taels of silver. Since there are so many of you, sir, I will give you a special price of seven taels of silver. What do you think?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Qingqing's face, and seeing that she didn't express her opinion, he hurriedly said:
“The price of this cypress loom is one or two taels more expensive than other looms.
Not only is it easy to use, it’s also very durable!”
After hearing what he said, Lu Qingqing walked to the loom, walked around it and took a look.
Then, he sat directly on the stool in front of the loom and tried it out.
Next to them, Zhuzi and other men were all surprised when they saw Lu Qingqing's actions.
This girl Daya is so bold!
This loom costs seven taels of silver. What if it breaks and someone blames me for it?
Zhuzi wanted to go forward and quietly remind Daya, but before he could go over, he heard Daya say:
"Little Brother, today we are going to buy eleven looms.
Please give me the best price for this cypress loom.
If it’s suitable, we’ll buy it directly from you!”
When the waiter heard about eleven looms, his eyes lit up.
If this deal is successful, the commission alone will be several taels of silver!
He thought for a moment, looked at Lu Qingqing's expression, and said:
"Sir, I'll tell you the truth.
The price of seven taels of silver I quoted you is already a very realistic price.
But since so many of you come to our shop, I can’t let you suffer any loss.
These are some commonly used replacement parts for looms. I would like to give a set of them to each loom. What do you think?
You know, if you buy this set of parts separately, it would cost several coins!"
Zhuzi next to him didn't expect that after Lu Qingqing said that, the waiter would really deliver it.
This is an accessory that costs several thousand coins. If any of the accessories breaks down, it will not only cost money to buy a new one, but it will also take time.
Thinking of this, I stopped in my tracks as I was about to go forward to remind him.
However, Lu Qingqing was not very satisfied with the price.
Before she could say anything, Bai Xing'er beside her came forward and said:
"Brother Xiaoer, there are so many of us buying looms from your shop, you have to make the price lower!"
Seeing this, Zhuzi's wife and other women also came forward to help bargain.
"That's right, if you give us a lower price, we can buy a few more..."
After fierce bargaining, the two sides finally reached a deal at a price of six taels and three cents per loom.
In addition, each loom comes with a set of replacement parts.
The shop also sent a vehicle to deliver these looms to their homes.
This was something Lu Qingqing had worked hard to achieve.
Most of them don’t have cars. If they go out alone to find a car, it will not only be troublesome but also cost a lot of money.
In the shop, the waiter was drenched in sweat as he struggled to complete this big order.
I can only say that the fighting power of these women should not be underestimated.
In fact, before Lu Qingqing bargained, the other women didn't dare to bargain when they saw such a luxurious shop.
When Lu Qingqing bargained for the first benefit, the remaining women gradually let go and showed their unique skills.
After a barrage of attacks, the waiter revealed all his cards.
I also had to ask the shopkeeper for home delivery to satisfy these women.
As they walked out of the gate of Chenji Cloth Shop, the group of women held their heads high and chests puffed out, as if they had won a battle.
The men followed behind, all in a good mood.
On the way back, Lu Qingqing and others' carriage was in front, and Chen Ji Cloth Shop's delivery cart was behind.
A row of carts loaded with looms were driving along the road, stunning passers-by on both sides.
When the car left the city and passed through the village, it attracted many villagers to watch.
Hearing the villagers' envious words, many men and women in the car raised their heads quietly.
Among them, there were even a few men who did not even take the carriage. After discussing with the delivery boy, they sat directly in the front of the cart delivering the loom.
The group returned to Baoshan Town and, as expected, were surrounded by onlookers again.
When the villagers saw that they had bought so many looms, they gathered around to ask questions.
Widow Meng's car was at the front. When she heard the envious inquiries from the women in the village, she said proudly:
“You don’t know, this loom is made of cypress.
It is much better than ordinary looms.
The guys in the shop said that this cypress loom can be used for decades without any problems.
Besides, this cypress loom only cost six taels and three qian of silver, and it even came with a lot of replacement parts!"
The women in the village who were watching became even more envious and jealous when they heard this.
As for the two families who asked Wu Hongren to buy looms, they were furious after hearing this.
At this moment, he was staring at Wu Hongren's wife, wishing he could eat her alive to vent his anger.
Seeing this, Wu Hongren's wife shrank her head and stepped back.
