Chapter 588: A Journey for Two 9
After a long time, Widow Zhang sighed and said, "Childe, I can't say anything about others, and I can't say anything about embroidery, I can only tell you, a few months ago, there were also guests from other places who came from the ferry and collected some embroidery and left." β
After a pause, Widow Zhang continued: "At that time, the price given to me was 40 wen for a handkerchief and 60 wen for a purse. β
Fifty percent more than the price of the embroidery village.
So that everyone in the village had a little better life at that time.
It was also because of that income, the newly increased taxes, that her family was able to cope with the past.
Gu Xinyue's face sank slightly.
Widow Zhang's meaning is that the price of the embroidery village is lower.
And she remembered that at that time, the shopkeeper Zhang also had these small embroidery pieces from the goods brought by the Jiangnan belt, which were collected from the local embroidery village, and the handkerchief was eighty wen and the purse was one hundred and twenty wen, and it was sold in the capital and sold in the capital with one hundred and twenty wen and one hundred and eighty wen.
If it is sold to Rouran and the Western Regions, it is a piece of cloth 300 wen and a purse of 500 wen.
She has also seen those handkerchiefs, although the base material used is better than Widow Zhang's, but the embroidery is far inferior to Widow Zhang's!
(If it's a widow like Zhang, I'm afraid that the purse will be sold for two taels of silver, and I will rush to ask for it in Rouran)
Moreover, they still take the goods in large quantities at the price.
The profit of the embroidery village can be imagined.
Seeing Gu Xinyue's frowning slightly, Widow Zhang hurriedly said: "Son, if you think my price is too high, then it will be done according to the arrival of the first guest." β
Gu Xinyue was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry, I just thought about something, not to question your price, in this way, I will accept all of you, including this interlude, I will give you two taels and five dollars of silver." β
Widow Zhang was stunned for a moment and said, "I didn't want that much." β
Gu Xinyue looked at her and said, "Your interstitial screen, it's not too much to sell two hundred wen for one, I count you for seven hundred wen, and I also take advantage of you." β
Widow Zhang was overjoyed, and said continuously: "How can this make the price I quoted before difficult to change, otherwise, I will charge you 400 yuan." β
Gu Xinyue shook her head with a smile, looked sideways at the room, and said, "Then, but your daughter?" β
Widow Zhang looked back and saw that her two daughters were hiding behind the door and quietly watching, knowing that the two were afraid that they were also anxious, so she smiled and said, "Yes, it's my two daughters." β
Gu Xinyue pulled the embroidery on the table and said, "Here, those are yours, and those are your daughter's?" β
Widow Zhang divided the embroidery into three places.
The best is naturally Widow Zhang's, the needlework is meticulous and skillful, neat and clean, and the two daughters have not yet reached such a fine Cheng dΓΉ, but the color is more bold and lively, and the details are more expressive.
Gu Xinyue nodded and said, "Auntie, I want to discuss something with you, I don't know, are you willing to go to me and be my embroiderer." β
Widow Zhang was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the two daughters in the probe.
Before she could think about how to answer, she heard someone knocking on the door outside the courtyard.
It was the villagers who came with their embroidery.
Seeing Gu Xinyue bowing slightly, Qin Qi wrapped all the embroideries on the table and put them aside, leaving the table empty.
Then he looked at Gu Xinyue with slightly curled eyebrows.
Just looking at Gu Xinyue's eyes, he somewhat understood her thoughts.
Well, they can't stay here for long, but they have to find the right person to stay here.
Who is the right person to stay?
In this countryside, as soon as the busy farming time passes, the days will be idle, and the women of every family will carry an embroidery shed to embroider flowers.
Generally, you can embroider a handkerchief in one to two days, and a purse in two to three days.
It was the busy spring season, and the villagers did not go into the city to sell embroidery, and they also accumulated embroidery for several months.
There are a lot of embroideries brought, although the embroiderers are not as good as the widow and the mother and daughter, but they are also much better than the shopkeeper Zhang received from the embroidery village in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
It's just that those tricks are all decent, not as vivid as Widow Zhang.
I think I know the gap, the price of the villagers is also lower than that of Widow Zhang, according to the quality of the base material and the quality of the embroiderer, the handkerchief ranges from 32 to 40 wen, and the purse ranges from 50 to 60 wen.
There were four hundred and twenty-one veils and two hundred and twelve purses.
Gu Xinyue divided the coarse embroidery into three equal parts.
The least one is that the embroidery is only a little worse than that of Widow Zhang's house (not more than the pattern), but it is also very delicate.
The most in the middle is that everyone is not divided into each other, they are all about the same, but they are a little worse than the first ones.
The last ones are the worst.
The woman in the worst part of the room had a bad face.
Now that the tax system has been changed, you have to pay taxes once in the first half of the year, but at that time, the crops were not ripe, and if you want to pay taxes, you can only rely on these extra incomes.
Ben also counted on the out-of-town guests to buy some and make up for some of them.
I know that everyone in this village thinks like this, and everyone is desperately embroidering, and so many ...... come out at once.
Such a large amount will not be accepted by the embroidery village, and these two guests who are obviously hanging out will definitely not want so much.
Now that I'm picking it out like this, I don't think I want it.
Not only did the worst think, but those who were in the middle also muttered in their hearts, just the number of widows' house and the best pile was enough for these two people to use for a while, and these two people didn't even bring their baggage, and they didn't come to receive the goods, but they didn't want them if they wanted them.
Gu Xinyue turned her eyes, took everyone's expressions into her eyes, and said with a smile: "Everyone, I am a straight person, and I don't go around the bend with everyone, this one, I have forty-two texts for the handkerchief, sixty-two for the purse, and these in the middle, I have thirty-seven for the handkerchief, fifty-five for the purse, and finally these, sorry, I can only produce thirty for the handkerchief and fifty for the purse." β
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, the best price was higher than their price, and the worst price was lower than theirs.
No, that's not the point.
Someone pushed Widow Zhang.
"That, Childe." Widow Zhang was squeezed forward and said, "What do you mean, do you want it?" β
So much!
Gu Xinyue smiled and said, "If you agree to this price, I will ask for it." β
So many embroideries, together are less than thirty taels of silver.
Not as expensive as half a saury......
The villagers were overjoyed, and a woman with poor craftsmanship exclaimed, "Really? Do you really want to? β
After calling, he said, "Guest, do you have any money?" β
"Zhang Cai's family!" Someone next to her immediately drank her.
"But, there are so many, they ask for a lot of copper coins, and they don't bring any baggage or anything!" The woman whispered.
Buy so much at once, if you say something, you will pay later.
Isn't that an empty one?
Gu Xinyue pursed her lips and smiled, and before she could speak, there were already three silver ingots on the table in front of her.
Eleven taels one.
Standing behind Gu Xinyue, Qin Qi said lightly: "Is it enough?" β-
