Small supermarket welcomes visitors from all directions

Chapter 90 What does Madam Fu want to see Tang Qiao about?
At this time, there was warm applause in the hall, and shouts of "Star of Light", "Star of Light" came one after another...

The gloomy weather has made everyone depressed for too long and they need a channel to vent. Many people attended the auction this time and it was the first time for them to go out of their homes since the temperature dropped.

Everyone's face was filled with bright smiles, as if they were really seeing the sunshine.

In fact, Tang Qiao had never expected that the moissanite could be sold for 11,800 taels. His price range was between 8,000 and 10,000 taels at most.

If you do it right in front of a small glacier and try to sell it for more than 10,000 yuan for the sake of novelty.

Tang Qiao's guess was very accurate. The price was about to stop at 10,000 taels, but it was Old Madam Fu who pushed it up directly.

Madam Fu is one generation older than the Empress Dowager and is a prominent figure of their generation. Today, she brought hundreds of thousands of taels of silver notes to support Tang Qiao's auction. She plans to spend all of it today, and donate the rest to Tang Qiao if she can't spend it all.

Old Madam Fu has been worried all day long since the temperature started to drop sharply. Seeing the sky not clearing up and the crops in the fields dying one by one, the old lady's heart also turned cold.

In history, has there ever been a time when the turmoil in the world was not caused by food shortages? Seeing that the turmoil was about to come, the old lady had no idea what to do.

It's not that I'm afraid of death. I've lived to be seventy or eighty years old, so I'd have no regrets if I died now. But what about all the grandchildren I've left behind? They're still so young, and the old lady can't bear it.

Although it is easier for powerful families to survive during periods of social unrest, who can guarantee that they will be able to escape unscathed at that time?
Later, things took a turn for the better. Prince Fu's palace got a large amount of food and medicine from somewhere, and distributed it to people across the country in a steady stream.

The biggest impact on the wealthy and powerful families was the availability of fresh vegetables at one tael of silver per pound every morning. The variety of vegetables was particularly rich, and there was not such a rich variety of dishes before the disaster.

Although vegetables that usually cost one or two cents are sold at a sky-high price of one or two silver coins per pound, you still have to buy them. If you think they are too expensive, you can buy less.

For Old Madam Fu, it was understandable that Prince Fu's Mansion produced food and medicines, as they must have made preparations a long time ago just in case.

What about vegetables? With so many powerful people in Beijing, who can have such juicy vegetables? Not to mention juicy ones, I can't even find a few fresh radishes.

There must be some special channel. It definitely wasn't like what Prince Fu said to the outside world, that it was purchased from a foreign country and that it would not be frozen enough to be transported from the border to the capital in this weather.

It’s not that she wants to pry into the secrets of Prince Fu’s Mansion. On the contrary, Madam Fu hopes that they have as many secrets as possible, and the more powerful they are, the better.

Only a steady supply of materials can feed the people of the country. Only when the people are stable can the country be stable.

This time, Prince Fu said that he hoped everyone would support the auction and use the proceeds from the auction to purchase supplies.

The old lady was very happy. The auction items proved that the Fuwang Mansion was short of money. How could the wealthy Fuwang Mansion be short of money? Of course, it was used to purchase supplies, proving that there were still a lot of supplies.

As long as there are supplies, the country will not be in chaos. Upon hearing the news, the old lady hurried to clean up her belongings.

The old lady's property is truly her own private money, which she earned from doing business when she was young.

In this way, the old lady brought her banknotes and came to the auction venue under the escort of her children and grandchildren.

My original plan today was to give money. No matter what the Prince Fu’s Mansion auctioned, I would buy a few pieces at a high price.

As a result, I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the door. Such a shining gem was something I had never seen or heard of before. Doesn’t the dazzling light represent light?
Mrs. Fu was very satisfied with this item.

Seeing that everyone's emotions had calmed down, Xiao Xizi started the next auction. "Now we will start the auction of the second item, which is a pearl necklace. Please take a look. The biggest feature of this string of pearls is that it is a string of pink pearls. Each pearl is big and round, and the color is tender. The back may not be clear, so if you are interested, you can come forward to check it out."

Xiao Xizi's service to today's customers was particularly thoughtful. In the words of the prince, they are all God and the God of Wealth, so please serve them well.

In the end, this string of pearls was bought by Madam Fu for ten thousand taels, and I never made any more bids after that.

Although I'm here to give you money, I still have to leave some for others.

I don't know whether it was the soft and hard tactics of Prince Fu's Mansion that worked, or whether it was because Old Madam Fu played a good role in leading the way, or whether it was because there were many people like Old Madam Fu who wanted to lend a helping hand to Prince Fu and simply came to give him money.

Subsequent auctions went smoothly, and the transaction prices were even higher than before the disaster.

There is a buying session after the auction. In fact, it is even more lively. There are small mirrors, hairpins with pearls, hairpins with rhinestones, earrings, earrings, many scattered pearls, etc.

Anyway, these are things that the people of the Ming Dynasty have never seen before, so let's feast our eyes.

The shopping fair is held in another hall and is very popular among young people. The jewelry is novel and unique, and the prices are within the affordability of young people.

Whether it is for personal use, or as a gift to a friend, or as a gift to a wife or fiancée, it is a good choice.

Tang Qiao certainly didn't have time to watch in this hall. He was surrounded by businessmen of all sizes while he was still in the auction hall.

Everyone knew that Tang Qiao could get good goods, so at first they just asked for information, but later on those merchants asked for deposits directly.

Just when Tang Qiao was surrounded, a servant came over and called out, "Master, Madam Fu is looking for you."

This person must be seen, and he is today's important customer. He hurriedly apologized to everyone: "Everyone, please chat first. I will be back soon. I am really sorry!"

These were all businessmen, so how could they dare to accept Tang Qiao's apology? They quickly waved their hands to show that they didn't care: "Your Highness, go and do what you need to do!"

Tang Qiao then bowed to everyone and left. Although Tang Qiao was not arrogant in the past, he would never be so courteous to a few businessmen.

This is all because of Wang Yue's influence in the supermarket. If you don't say that customers are God, then it's okay to be more humble. After all, your status is there. In this way, several merchants were flattered.

Old Madam Fu was waiting for Tang Qiao in a small hall. Tang Qiao went in and saluted to the old lady: "Hello, old madam!" Old Madam Fu was older than the Empress Dowager.

"No! No!" Old Madam Fu hurried to stop him.

"Madam, why are you sitting here? Isn't it too cold?" It was indeed a bit cold from the main hall to the small hall.

"It's okay! I'll be waiting for you here. I'll be gone after a few words. You won't be cold."

"I wonder what the old lady wants Tang Qiao to do?"

Tang Qiao was very curious about what Madam Fu said to him. An old lady of her age would not be allowed to go out in this weather.

Then the old lady's appearance here must be about something very important.
