Chapter 35: A Different Dowry
When the yarn arrived home, Erya was in a mood all of a sudden, and she packed up her place and waited at the door. Seeing a crowd of people surrounded by three carriages coming towards the house, Erya trotted up to meet them.
"Third uncle, thank you for your hard work! How could you have thought about buying so many at once? ”
The third uncle smiled bitterly: "You said that you wanted to buy ten taels of silver wool, so do you know how much it cost?" ”
Er Ya looked at the third uncle a little uncertainly, and shook his head!
The third uncle stretched out his right hand and raised three fingers: "Three taels, one cart and one tael of silver." It didn't cost much to buy these, but they tossed along the way, and they spent more than three taels, not counting the unjust money they spent. ”
This thing is worthless, but it can occupy an area, and it has to be moisture-proof and moisture-proof, the snow in the north is big, and it is not very easy to come back empty, plus the full three cars of wool and wool, the head is big, and it will overturn if you don't pay attention to it.
This way can be offended, not to mention their complaints, even he himself was a little unable to support it later.
Er Ya looked at the third uncle's face, and knew that he might have suffered a big sin along the way.
It's just that Erya thinks that if they can buy wool thread, their Wang family's share of the industry can be erected. The third uncle suffered this time, but the rewards in the future were also quite rich.
Woolen sweaters and sweaters, whether in the north where there is only winter and summer, no spring and autumn, or in the south where there is only spring, summer and autumn without winter, or in the climate environment where the four seasons are distinct, sweaters are at least four or five pieces of clothing for everyone.
The prospect of the sweater, Er Ya doesn't need to imagine, just recall.
"Third uncle, you have done a big thing this time, this time, no matter how much I gain, it will be counted as 30% of you, as for the share between you and them, you can calculate it yourself!?"
The third uncle opened his eyes wide and asked, "Do you really want to use this for business?" How to make a profit from this? I really can't imagine that the person who sold this to me was a southern merchant who sold goods to the Tartar border, and saw that these things were cheap and as if they were being sent, so he became greedy and pulled three carts back. As a result, I couldn't stand that sin, and sold it to me cheaply, and I was grateful for it. Along the way, I was also complained about. If you can really make money, my heart can be more relaxed. ”
Erya smiled mysteriously: "Then you can't know until I make a profit!" ”
The third uncle nodded happily: "Okay!" I'll wait, and if I can make a profit, I'll go north and buy this thing for you. ”
"Then it's decided!" Erya also responded as if it was a joke.
The third uncle thought of the jerky and meat floss again, "By the way, nephew and daughter-in-law, the meat floss and meat jerky, you made, I am very interested, although I didn't come back directly with the deposit, but people said that when they spread their reputation and the price was raised, they would come directly to order and pay the deposit." I have left the address to others, after the New Year, when you are at home, you should also pay attention, it is estimated that many people will come to inquire. ”
The second girl does not have the confidence of the third uncle, in the former world, she would have sued her a long time ago, and there was still a reversal of the contract, not to mention, these verbal copies.
But Erya didn't discourage the third uncle's enthusiasm, "Okay! Thank you so much. When you have an order, you will receive a tenth of the share. ”
After all, the third uncle is a businessman, but he did not refuse Erya's suggestion.
When Xiaohu and the others emptied their things, they settled the car money and let the car go back. He sat down and calculated the balance with Erya.
"Along the way, some of them were sold for 500 wen a jar, some were sold for 400 wen, and some were sold for 300 wen. Anyway, the total income is more than thirty taels. As for me, I'll give you 300 pieces of text, and I plan to give a few points to my peers. After all, along the way, they also suffered because of me, and they spent more money. ”
Er Ya nodded hurriedly: "Okay!" I don't want much, I only need fifteen taels, and the rest is your hard-earned money, as well as the car money and road expenses. ”
The third uncle was finally really happy and said, "You can take these things into account, and you won't be in vain for the sins and complaints I have suffered along the way." "The money is not much, the key is that this kid understands that his journey is not easy.
Er Ya sent the third uncle away, and began to look at the wool and wool, there was only one cart of wool, and there were two carts of wool.
There are thick and thin yarns, and there are many colors, but I didn't expect that the dyeing here would be so good.
Some are very thin and fine, just like the cashmere of later generations, what is this for? Weaving tapestries? No way! Rug? More unlikely! Sash? Blankets? Women's headscarves? Trappings?
Dizzy! Shake your head and don't want to! Anyway, these things on the grassland are very useful.
Erya smelled the smell and knew why these good things could not be accepted by the Han people. The smell of mutton is so strong, if you wear it on your body and then heat up, who can stand the strange smell of this body?
Alas! The smell of wool and wool has to be dealt with first. It seems that it is impossible to expect them to earn some points before the end of the year.
Erya sighed in disappointment, then put down the wool and wool, and devoted himself to designing shoes, hoping to gain something in shoes.
At the second uncle's house, the eldest aunt was looking at the furniture in the hall and chatting with her brother and daughter-in-law, "You say, how do your nephew's daughter-in-law's heads and melon seeds grow?" She could think of something she had never seen before. This one is really pretty, somehow, right? I look more durable than the carved ones. ”
"Yes! Master Zhao said that he wanted to use this to make furniture for others, and also said that if our family made woodware in the future, he would not be paid. ”
"Hey~! I'm afraid he won't have time to help our family fight in the future. ”
"Maybe, Xiaohu's daughter-in-law asked me to play the quilt and the quilt cover she gave according to the size she gave, have you seen it?"
The eldest aunt hurriedly nodded: "Look at it!" How is it so wide? The quilt cover is all made of cotton, will it look shabby without a satin quilt? I think you should still ask the leaves, it is better to have a quilt with two satin quilts. Otherwise, we have a lot of money to spend, and we have to complain about the fallen leaves. ”
Hearing what the sister-in-law said, the second aunt, who was originally full of confidence, didn't know what to do: "Sister-in-law, do you think it's weird?" I've seen those little tiger daughters-in-law, and the quilt covers made of matching colors. Although it is cotton, but when I look at other people's satin quilts, I feel stingy, but it is not as atmospheric as this cotton quilt cover. ”
The eldest aunt clapped her hands, "Oh yes! That's how I think these pieces of furniture feel, but it's just this bed, how can it be like this? How do you hang mosquito nets in the summer? ”
"That's fine!" The second aunt pointed to the four corners and showed the sister-in-law: "Look, the master here has left a small hole, and then the four corners can be plugged into the bamboo poles." ”
"Ouch! They are all smart people. ”
The second aunt smiled proudly: "Sister-in-law, I will put this bed on the mattress, sheets, quilts, and pillows, you can take a look at it again, and make sure that you drool when you see it!" ”
The eldest aunt slapped her and made a gesture to hit her, but the second aunt jumped away with a smile and came out with a complete set of bedding from Yezi's room.
This is a quilt cover made of bright yellow brick red, the quilt sheet is brick red, and the pillowcase is also soft yellow and brick red is the surface.
The second aunt quickly laid it out, and it was neatly flat, and without her saying anything, the eldest aunt looked straight.
"My goodness! I really didn't expect it to look so good like this. It's really refreshing. "The eldest aunt never thought that the pure color alone would make the whole room light up just because the head was exposed to about a foot of tender yellow. This is much more eye-catching than satin and embroidery.
The second aunt shook her feet, crossed her arms, and smiled proudly: "How is it?" You're drooling from watching, right?! You said, if that's the case, Ye Zi still finds fault with me, I really don't care about her! ”
"Rest assured! She didn't say anything after reading it. And how many beds are there? What is it like? ”
The second aunt shook her head, "Don't worry, it's not worse than this, that is, some colors are plain and elegant, and Xiaohu's daughter-in-law picks things, can there be any difference?!" ”
The eldest aunt suddenly remembered, "Oh! That day, my niece and daughter-in-law were so busy and went to the county seat, just to pick these for the leaves? ”
"The main thing is that she needs something to make a fur coat over there, and she has to go to the county seat to buy it, and by the way, she also bought these quilt covers."
The eldest aunt sighed in a low voice: "This nephew and daughter-in-law really God saw that it was really difficult for us, so she specially sent us to our house!" ”
The eldest aunt touched the wardrobe again, "It's so fast, I don't know if I think it's ready, the furniture is ready, and the quilt is also played." ”
The second aunt shouted at a sharp voice: "Sister-in-law! Hello, no conscience! I was almost exhausted, so I was busy and waited for the masters for more than 20 days before I left the people. You even say unaware? ”
The eldest aunt was amused by her brother and daughter-in-law, and she couldn't breathe with laughter, but she easily eased up, and asked, "Can you blame me?" Who said that I should not do anything but spin threads? ”
