Chapter 16 Buying Splendid in the Splendid Workshop
"What about my eggs?" Gu Siniang looked at the two lonely baskets of eggs that had been taken away from her attention, and said a little when she wanted to speak. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's no problem with this, along with your basket, I want it all together." The young man in brocade slapped the board and said to Ping An behind him, "Ping An, pay the bill!" ”
Ping An hurriedly responded, stepped forward, looked at the things in front of him, the corners of his eyebrows jumped suddenly, he felt that he was destined to be doomed today. Buy these things back, and the old lady and the lady will make him into a meat puree with a chain of palms.
But he can't say that the young master's temper is not good, he knows, the little guy who is serving him next to him has changed one after another, he was just promoted last month, and he must not lose this good position, you must know that those miscellaneous things in the south courtyard are waiting for him to go down to make up for it.
As long as the young master is happy, he will do it for a long time. Ping'an's sigh in his heart was like a tide, wave after wave, beating his fragile and young heart.
Hey, why is he so unlucky, with such a wayward master, hey, pity what a clever and well-behaved man he is.
"Young master, young master......" A little guy in blue clothes ran over from behind, panting and said, "Oh no, Madam found out that you ran out, and she was furious!" ”
Hearing this, the brocade-clothed young man's face turned pale, and he didn't care about anything else and turned around to leave, just walked a few steps and turned back to say that he remembered to bring the eggs back, and he hurried away with two persimmons.
Ping An sighed, resigned himself to his fate, and then walked away with a bitter face.
Gu Siniang looked at Ping'an's small figure and felt a little lonely, and she felt very funny.
"Come on, uncles and aunts, taste my persimmons, they are definitely sweet to the heart. If you don't believe it, try it. Gu Siniang turned around and continued to shout.
Perhaps it was the behavior of the young man in brocade that made people more curious, but this time two women finally came over, and although they were a little hesitant, they still said, "Give us two pieces to taste." ”
There are one and two, and soon three or three people came around, and the remaining persimmons were quickly separated, and many people complained that they had not tasted them.
Gu Siniang was very happy when she saw that the effect was so good, and secretly made up her mind that she must make more when she goes home and wait for the next market to sell it.
The things were sold out, and the hour was still early, so the Chen family took Gu Siniang and a few people into the town, and this time they went to the town to buy fabrics.
The largest fabric shop in Yushui City is called Jinxiufang, there are many kinds of fabrics, and the prices are also fair, and Chen's usual embroidery work is sold here. So this time, I also went straight to Jinxiufang with a few daughters.
When they went, not long after the Splendid Workshop opened, there were few people in the store, and the shopkeeper on the side of the counter was looking down at the account book, occasionally his fingers fluctuated a few times and the abacus made a crackling sound.
The shopkeeper of the splendid workshop is surnamed Wu, the Chen family often sells embroidery work here, and he is also familiar with her, seeing her coming, he greeted with a smile, "Is there a new embroidery job for the lady of the Gu family?" ”
"Shopkeeper Wu." Chen smiled, "Isn't it almost winter, I want to buy a few pieces of fabric to make some clothes for the children to wear." ”
"I see." Shopkeeper Wu nodded, "It's also a coincidence that you came, you just bought a batch of new ingredients the day before yesterday." After that, he recruited the young man behind him, "You go and bring the batch of materials the day before yesterday." ”
The young man nodded hurriedly, and after a while he ran back, holding a few pieces of cloth that were shiny from a distance.
"Shopkeeper Wu, don't take too expensive ones, I just want to buy some ordinary materials." Chen took a look at it from afar, and knew that this thing was expensive, so he quickly shook his head.
Where can she afford brocade with silver, peasant families like them usually wear coarse linen clothes, brocade not to mention that the conditions do not allow it, even if there are conditions, they will not buy it, after all, they are all rough work, wearing such a precious clothes, they will be scratched at the end of the day.
Shopkeeper Wu smiled when he heard this, "Gu Niangzi, don't be in a hurry to say no. Although this material is a good thing, the price is more than 200 yuan more expensive than coarse cloth. ”
Nowadays, coarse cloth is 500 wen a horse, and the cheapest brocade costs two taels of silver. So when the shopkeeper Wu said that these brocades were more expensive than coarse cloth by 200 yuan, Chen's first reaction was impossible, "Are you not mistaken?" How can it be so cheap? ”
Seeing Chen's unbelievable appearance, Shopkeeper Wu reached out and took the brocade from the little guy's hand and handed it to Chen, "Gu Niangzi, you are also a sincere person, I won't hide it from you, you take a good look at this fabric." ”
Chen took a closer look, and then he found a problem, "...... these patterns?" ”
"You can see that there is something wrong with these patterns." Shopkeeper Wu sighed as he spoke, "This batch of fabrics was originally ordered by a guest, but there was a mistake in the process when the workers dyed it, which led to the smudging of the pattern." Therefore, this kind of product is turned into a defective product. But the material is absolutely good, and if you buy it back, you will definitely not lose money. ”
"I see." Chen nodded, although the shopkeeper Wu said that there were defects in this fabric, it was also for those big families, and those traces of smudging, if you don't take a closer look, you will definitely not be able to see it. ”
"There are ten pieces of cloth in total, and they are all of all colors. It is indeed a rare good material. ”
Chen is indeed very tempted, it is really not expensive to buy brocade at this price, but the silver in her hand is limited, and the budget will be exceeded after buying.
When she was hesitating, her sleeves were pulled, and she looked down and saw a pair of big black and white eyes looking at her, "Siniang? ”
"Mother, but worry about silver? Have you forgotten that we just sold eggs and baskets? Gu Siniang reminded.
Chen then remembered that because of the young man in brocade, she bought nearly three taels of silver with her eggs and baskets, which was enough to buy two good horses.
Thinking about this, his face also showed joy, and he said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper Wu, then I will want two satins." Two more pieces of coarse cloth. ”
Shopkeeper Wu beckoned to the young man behind him, "You take Gu Niangzi and them upstairs to choose fabrics, and the price is according to the price of our old customers." ”
Chen thanked him, and then led Gu Siniang and a few people to the second floor.
There are two floors in Jinxiufang, the first floor is mainly good materials such as silk and yarn, which mainly serve those rich families, while the second floor is some ordinary materials, and consumers are also ordinary people.
The selection went smoothly, and it didn't take long to finalize the pattern, and then the money was paid, and the money in their hands was almost spent, but everyone had a smile on their faces.
Naturally, a few of them couldn't take the four pieces of fabric, and the shopkeeper Wu thought about it when he saw this, "I just have to deliver to the next town in the next few days, and I will pass by your Lotus Village, and I will let someone send it to you when the time comes." ”
Chen thanked him repeatedly, and just as he was about to leave, he saw a donkey cart slowly stop at the gate of Jinxiufang, and Chen's face suddenly turned ugly.
The curtain opened, revealing a pair of white and delicate hands from inside.
