Chapter 35 Making Money

The sewing basket quickly attracted visitors. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoSomeone asked the price, and Chen Afu raised the price to 150 Wen, and the price was not reduced. It's not that she sits on the ground and starts the price, but she is afraid that the sewing basket will sell too quickly and she won't be able to wait for the person they are waiting for.

Even at this price, two were bought by a girl with a few rings, and one woman bought one.

The sewing kit was not taken out, and the people before it did not look like people who could pay ten taels of silver to buy that bag.

Half an hour later, the woman who bought the sewing basket returned, and she angrily asked Chen Afu why it was sold more expensive than in front of Lingyin Temple.

Chen Afu explained with a smile, "Auntie, look at it, the sewing basket I sell is made of fine wicker, and the inside of the basket is silk instead of muslin, and the materials are good, so it is more expensive." If the aunt thinks it's expensive, just return it to me, and then you go to the bottom of the mountain to buy it, and that family is also ours. ”

When the woman heard this, she thought it was not worth buying the basket, so she withdrew and said that she would go down the mountain and buy something cheap.

Chen Dabao is very anxious to see that his mother does not take out the sewing kit and sell it, if a sewing kit can't be bought, where can he have the money to eat wontons in front of Lingyin Temple?

Chen Afu said to his ear, "Dabao is not in a hurry, if you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle, and if there is a big business, my mother will naturally not miss it." ”

Around the end of the day, several wagons and a dozen men on horseback came up from the bottom of the mountain. The carriage stopped in front of the nunnery, and out of the carriage came a few female dependents with beaded heads and a group of maids. They discussed, and the two older masters entered the nunnery with two men and a few girls, and a young beauty in her twenties led two little girls and a few mothers-in-law and men to the stall.

The beauty, the two little girls and a man were the masters at first glance, with extraordinary bearing and gorgeous dress. In particular, the beautiful woman wore a rose purple jacquard brocade gown, a lilac embroidered brocade pleated skirt, and a particularly striking sapphire-encrusted red gold crested hairpin on her head, which shone in the sun.

The golden swallow in the sewing basket looked sluggish, and without waiting for Chen Afu to catch it, it flew out like lightning, so fast that no one else noticed.

Seeing those nobles walking towards this side, the vendors selling things all raised their spirits and whispered their products.

A little girl of eleven or twelve years old was quickly attracted to the sewing basket and said, "What a beautiful little basket." ”

Chen Dabao hurriedly said, "Girl, this is a sewing basket." Buy one, it's not expensive, it's only one hundred and fifty yuan. ”

Dabao is already beautiful, and his crisp words attract the attention of those people. A somewhat decent mother-in-law said, "A sewing basket costs one hundred and fifty yuan, and it is not expensive." ”

Another girl of eight or nine picked up a sewing basket and said, "This sewing basket is so delicate, I have never seen such a beautiful sewing basket." Mother, sixth uncle, I like it. ”

The young lady also liked it when she saw it, and smiled happily, "The sewing basket is also chic, so let's buy all of them." ”

Chen Afu took out a sewing kit from his bag and said, "This grandma, I still have a beautiful sewing kit here, you can see if it is satisfactory." ”

The beautiful woman took the sewing kit, and when she saw the dog's head smiling at her, she giggled, "Ah, the puppy on this purse is really funny, and it is smiling at people." ”

The little girl next to her also laughed and said coquettishly, "Mother, I like this puppy so much, buy me one." ”

The beauty nodded, turned the bag over again, her eyes widened, and she said in surprise, "God, is this a buckle? It's so exquisitely done, it's so beautiful, it's like two blooming chrysanthemums." ”

A mother-in-law next to her also exclaimed, "The buckle can still do this, it looks like a flower, and the old woman can be regarded as opening her eyes." ”

Chen Afu smiled, "Well, this is a chrysanthemum buckle made by my mother, it is not easy to make, and it takes more effort than making clothes." If this buckle is sewn on a garment, it is not only a button, but also a beautiful decoration. ”

The beauty's eyes lit up, and she seemed to think of some kind of beautiful dress that was different from the rest.

Chen Afu smiled again, "Grandma opened the buckle again, and there was something else inside." ”

The lady opened the three buckles, and the bag became a round cloth with several delicate pouches and ribbons sewn on it.

Chen Afu took out a square plum blossom sewing kit and opened it, and talked about where to pin, where to install threads, thimbles, awls, buttons, the wonderful use of those straps, and so on.

Everyone sighed, this thought was really clever. It's a simple thing to say, but no one has thought of it before.

The two little girls both liked the puppy on the bag, one shouted "mother" and the other shouted "fourth aunt", so she asked her to buy it quickly.

Beauty smiled, "Okay, good, buy." Then he asked Chen Afu, "How do you sell this bag?"

Chen Afu said, "This sewing kit took some time and effort, and it cost 12 taels of silver each. ”

She rose by two taels of silver. Among these people, the adults like the buckles, and the little girls like cartoon dogs, and at first glance they are extremely rich masters, and they don't look like forcible robbery. Twelve taels of silver buy a beloved, and they should not refuse.

The beauty's eyes didn't take off the buckle on the small bag, but she said, "Twelve taels of silver a bag, which is a sky-high price." It is the water exquisite embroidery workshop in the capital, and the most expensive purse does not have ten taels of silver. ”

The two little girls on the side were anxious and said, "But we like this bag, and we like the dog on it." ”

Chen Dabao hurriedly said, "Grandma, we don't just sell bags, but also designs. You see, this kind of smiling dog, with beautiful buckles and delicate sewing kit styles, we are the first. ”

His words made the group laugh.

The man fanned the fan and smiled, "This bag has so many advantages, and my sister-in-law and niece also like it, so I will buy three." ”

Chen Afu said with a smile that he only made eight such bags and had not sold them to other families. This kind of buckle is also the first time to be sold, and it has not yet been circulated, and it is the only one in the world.

When the beauty heard this, she had a plan in her heart. He smiled and said, "If this kind of buckle has not been circulated, I will buy all your bags, and add an extra twenty taels of silver to you, and you are not allowed to make or sell this kind of chrysanthemum buckle again." After a pause, he added, "Maybe it won't take half a year for this kind of buckle to spread." Well, I can't stop you from begging for a living, and you can do it again in a year. Then he lowered his face and said, "If you lie or dare to sell it secretly, our money will not be given in vain...... You're all from the neighborhood, aren't you?"

I don't know what kind of rich family they come from, they don't need to sign an agreement with Shengdou Xiaomin at all, just a scare word can be done. However, the family is really good, and they didn't take it by force, they bought all eight bags, and the design price was quite reasonable.

Chen Afu hurriedly smiled, "Yes, the folk girl wrote it down." We are indeed villagers in the neighborhood, and our home is in Xiangluo Village, more than 20 miles away from here. ”

The man laughed when he heard about Ringing Gong Village, and said, "You are from Ringing Gong Village? ”

Eight bags, ninety-six taels of silver, and twenty taels of more, a total of one hundred and sixteen taels of silver. The four sewing baskets gave one or two pieces of silver, and said that there was no need to look for them. Chen Afu was given five silver ingots of twenty taels, one of ten taels, one of five taels, and two silver ingots of one tael.

The first battle was won, and this was already the best result.
