- ¡°A clock shop?¡±
Walking and walking, Liu Jin came to a watch shop. The entire watch shop was decorated very high-end, with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and the scene inside could be seen from the outside.
In the entire two-story building, even during the day, whale oil lamps, not kerosene lamps, various hanging clocks, and pieces of clocks on the counter are lit, which looks very fashionable and trendy.
There are also a lot of people in the store, and they are mainly young people, young couples, young lovers, etc., buying watches together.
Liu Jin walked in and started shopping casually.
The boss, Xie Jingliang, is over forty years old. He has developed a sharp eye over the years of doing business. He just glanced at Li Jin and immediately knew that the person in front of him was either rich or noble.
This outfit seemed to be very ordinary, but Xie Jingliang knew at a glance that it was made of fine Shu brocade, and the embroidery on it was also done by the famous Su Yang artist.
The jade pendant worn around the waist is no ordinary item. It is an imperial green jade pendant. This jade pendant alone can be used to buy several houses in the capital.
And Liu Jin¡¯s magnanimity is also extremely extraordinary. At first glance, it is the magnanimity that only people who have been in power for a long time can develop.
So Xie Jingliang hurriedly came over in person and said with a smile: "Does this noble man need anything?"
"I'll just take a look."
Liu Jin smiled and nodded.
"My lord, all the good stuff is on the second floor. This floor is full of ordinary stuff, which may not catch your eye."
Xie Jingliang smiled and continued.
强牺 pddxsw.com 读牺。 ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯m actually just taking a look, you¡¯re busy with your business. "
Liu Jin smiled and said.
"Okay, if you have any instructions, please tell me at any time."
When Xie Jingliang saw it, he nodded quickly and went about his own business.
Take a closer look at Liu Jin. He is probably not here to buy a watch. Such a person will never be short of a watch. And even if he does, he will definitely go to the watch shop on Zhuque Street. The watches there are more expensive and of lower quality. better.
Liu Jin looked carefully and listened carefully.
It can be seen that watches are very popular now. Many people buy watches and business is very good.
The key is that watches are actually not cheap. Even though there are many cheap watches now, it still takes at least several taels of silver to buy a watch.
"If it is a watch produced by Daming Watch Company, the cheapest one will cost dozens of taels of silver, while the more expensive ones will cost several thousand taels or tens of thousands of taels of silver.
For example, Liu Jin carries a pocket watch, which Xu Waner gave to Liu Jin. It cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, and it has reached the ceiling of clocks.
The watches in the watch shop in front of you are all watches from the time when you started farming, and the prices are generally around ten taels of silver. They are not watches produced by Daming Watch Firm, but are produced by some other watch firms.
The quality, workmanship and brand are naturally not as good as those of Daming Watch Company, and the prices are also very affordable.
But for ordinary people, this watch is still a luxury product. The cheapest watch costs nearly 10 taels of silver, which is enough for an ordinary worker to work without food or water for two months.
A better watch costs dozens of taels of silver, which is enough for ordinary people to work for a year, so the most popular watches sold now are actually watches worth about a dozen taels of silver.
¡°Boss, there are a lot of people buying watches here.¡±
Liu Jin found Xie Jingliang and said.
"To be honest, noble man, the business of the small shop is still good, especially since the Chinese New Year is coming soon. There are many people getting married, so there are more people buying watches."
Xie Jingliang smiled and said.
"What does getting married have to do with buying a watch?"
Liu Jin thought for a while and asked.
"Of course it does matter. Now in our Beijing-Tianjin area, marriage is about one move and two turns."
Xie Jingliang said quickly.
"No movement or two turns?"
After hearing this, Liu Jin was even more dumbfounded. Why had he never heard of this marriage?
"The so-called one move and two transfers, this move refers to real estate, you must have your own house, and the two transfers refer to bicycles and watches. Nowadays, Beijing and TianjinThe face is still very traditional. You can ask for the bride price, but if you have to pay double the amount, it will be difficult to maintain the face.
Of course, the ratio of men to women in the Ming Dynasty is relatively balanced now. It can even be said that there are more women than men, because there are a large number of female slaves from Europe, West Asia, and the Middle East. The number is very large, and it is estimated that there are millions of female slaves. Living in the land of Ming Dynasty.
Control the big one and control the owl. There are also many women from Korea and Japan. Because they are vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is still very attractive to them. There are many Korean women as concubines in Liaodong, and in Nanyang and Ryukyu. There are many Japanese women on the side.
They became the concubines, maids, servants, etc. of the Ming Dynasty people, which to a certain extent made the situation of more boys and girls in the Ming Dynasty more serious. But fortunately, the Ming Dynasty could take concubines, so generally speaking, the ratio of men to women is balanced.
But balance is balance. The requirements for marriage are still keeping up with the changes of the times. There is also a house, a bicycle and a watch, so the pressure is still a bit high.
