    "The shopkeeper's stock has gone. If there is anything Master Ji wants, just tell me. I'll find it for you." The guy followed Ji Wei enthusiastically and walked around the shop with him.

    "You can't give me what I want. You have to talk to your shopkeeper. Since he's not here, I'll come back another day."

    "Uncle Ji, it's like this..."

    Afraid that Ji Wei would be gone, the man said with an apologetic smile, "You have bought a lot of flour, cane sugar and eggs these days. There are not many goods in the shop. The shopkeeper must find some more sellers. This is to talk about business."

    He saw Ji Wei's brow wrinkled, and hurriedly added: "But it's been an hour, so I should be back soon, why not wait in the store?"

    "Where did he go after so long?"

    Different grocery stores have different purchase prices, and the price of several books is the same, which leads to different profits.

    This is the secret of every grocery store. Even if the guy knew, he wouldn't dare to tell Ji Wei. What's more, when the shopkeeper left, he didn't tell the guy where he went or who he was looking for.

    When the guy heard Ji Wei's question, he immediately smiled bitterly, "Uncle Ji, don't embarrass me. If I knew about this, would I still be a guy here?"

    "Well, I'm not embarrassing you. Let's go first. You know where my shop is. When the shopkeeper comes back, you can call me." Ji Wei waved his hand and walked a few steps, and just negotiated a few orders. Good business, Zheng Xing, the shopkeeper of the grocery store, who walked in the wind, made a face-to-face.

    "Yo, Master Ji, why are you leaving?" Zheng Xing glanced at the guy who had just sent the customer to the door of the store, and immediately understood the situation, slapped his head and said enthusiastically, "Quickly follow me into the store, I just happened to be giving it to you. Catch up, so that Master Ji will not run back and forth."

    "Manager Zheng, what a coincidence."

    The two greeted each other, and Ji Wei followed Zheng Xing into the store.

    There is also a warehouse behind the grocery store, which is dedicated to storing excess goods, and will be filled when there is a shortage outside. The shelves inside were packed with goods in different categories, leaving only the aisles that were barely passed.

    It's not a good place to talk, but because every time Ji Wei comes back to find Zheng Xing, he talks about big bills.

    "I heard that shopkeeper Zheng is going to talk about new sources of goods today?" Zheng Xing knew that the guy must have missed his mouth.

    "Since that's the case, I've also talked to the shopkeeper about this."

    "Huh?" Shopkeeper Zheng responded quickly, he understood what Ji Wei meant at once, and couldn't help sighing.

    Ji Wei asked him why he sighed, and Zheng Xing told the truth.

    "We only negotiated a few good deals this morning. Before I could be happy, Master Ji came to the door. Needless to say, it must be for the price of those things, right?"

    In fact, when he came to place an order before, he talked to Zheng Xing about this issue. However, at that time, the price of the goods received was high, and it could not be lowered any more. Ji Wei also saw the difficulty and stopped entanglement with Zheng Xing.

    But this time it was too coincidental, just in time, plus Ji Wei was very shrewd, Zheng Xing couldn't hide it even if he wanted to. This is the bamboo basket fetching water and making a wedding dress for Ji Wei.

    "Don't be discouraged, shopkeeper Zheng, after all, not everyone can be like me, sending hundreds of pennies to your store every day." This is the truth. Since the store opened on North Street, he has spent two years in this grocery store. two silver coins. If it is simply sold to ordinary people, if dozens or hundreds of them are added together, there may not be as many as Ji Weiyi bought.

    "Master Ji is right." Zheng Xing smiled bitterly.

    "Good news for you."

    "What is it?"

    "In a few days, I will buy more eggs, cane sugar and flour."

    Zheng Xing's first reaction was fear.

    In the morning, I went to several companies to talk about business, and I signed a few more. Otherwise, according to the number of Ji Wei's purchases, I am afraid that it will be for him and not for others.

    But after thinking about it, even if you earn a little less, you can stabilize Ji Wei, a big customer, and it will not be a loss.

    "How much does Master Ji think are suitable?" Zheng Xing asked tentatively.

    "One percent lower."

    "One percent!"

    Don't underestimate this 10%. Take eggs as an example. The price of a pound is about 12 cents. If it is 10% lower, if you sell it to Ji Wei for 20 catties every day, you will earn 20 or 30 cents less.

    According to the original price, Zheng Xing could only earn fifty cents in these twenty pounds, which is equivalent to half the profit.

    Zheng Xing's flesh hurts.

    "How's it going? What does the shopkeeper think? Of course, I don't like to force others. If the shopkeeper doesn't agree, I have to go to South Street and ask." Ji Wei's face showed regret.

    Zheng Xing sighed, "Don't run on me, Master Ji, you know that I can't refuse you."

    "Then you have to listen carefully. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, everything I originally wanted will be doubled."

    Zheng Xing was dumbfounded, thinking he heard it wrong, and confirmed with Ji Wei again and again.

    When the two came out of the warehouse, Zheng Xing couldn't help it, and said enviously: "Ji Ye's shop has just opened, and business is booming like this, so that those of us who have opened stores on North Street for many years, How to get a foothold."

    "Stand on your feet." Ji Wei joked and said sternly, "Come step by step, whose money is blown by the wind, there must be a process, don't you think?"

    If it weren't for his more than 30 years of struggle in his previous life, how could he be like a duck to water in Changliu Town?

    It's just a matter of planting melons.

    Chapter 69

    A few days later, Ji Wei's shop on North Street became more and more famous, even Zhu Zhaotou, who lived on East Street, heard about it.

    When my brother-in-law came to visit, he also carried a bag of things in his hand, which he said was called moon cakes, for the Mid-Autumn Festival the day after tomorrow.

    As a result, just after the moon cake was shown, Zhu Zuotou's wife tasted a piece out of curiosity, but she didn't stop, chatting and eating with her brother-in-law, and even ate all the six pieces of snowskin moon cake as snacks.
