Felt is woven from wool and other things, and the better the felt, the more wool there is in it. In modern times, many industrial raw materials are added to the felt, and the felt herders here use pure natural materials to weave them by hand.

Lin Yu walked to the place where the felt was sold, and the felt seller's eyes immediately lit up, and he trembled a little: "Girl, do you want to buy felt?" It's all transported from the Hushan grassland! Excellent felt! ”

This man doesn't speak Chinese very well, but he can brag about himself.

Lin Yu didn't answer, just squatted down and looked at the felt carefully.

This felt is not as he said, what kind of good felt, it is made of wool mixed with cow hair, horse hair and dry grass, it is not a good felt, and it should even be said that it is not even a defective product, it should be called a residual product.

"How do you sell this felt?" There are good ways to use it, and there are times to use it, but Lin Yu wants to buy this felt.

"The girl asked! My felt, the best in the entire Liyun County! One foot, I only need the girl twenty wen, how about it? The man even said with a comparison and told the price of Lin Yu.

"If you ask for such a price, then this business can't be done!" Lin Yu stood up and said coldly, "You don't have to bluff me, it's not like I haven't seen felt." You can't even buy a finger of good felt for twenty wen, and you're just the worst felt, twenty wen, you really dare to ask for it! ”

Although the man did not speak quietly, he was obedient and heard clearly, and he dared to love this girl who knew how to do it. had to change his routine and told Lin Yu about his experience of selling felt.

It turned out that this person's name was Gamu, and he was a herdsman from the Hushan grassland. Their wool was particularly abundant this year, and there was still a lot of wool left in addition to the felt that had been paid tribute to the palace and the felt used in their tents. Gamu was there to do a little business between pastures and pastures, and when he saw such a shape, he thought about making the extra wool into felt, and he took it to Hushan Mountain and Li Yun to sell. I don't know who said it, the mountains and Li Yun don't know the goods, even if they mix something, it doesn't matter. So, everyone mixed cow hair and horse hair into it, and when the animal hair was not enough, they mixed in some grass blades. When Gamu came to collect it, I was stunned, how can I sell such a quality? But these are all good herdsmen, everyone begged him, and he had no choice, so he could only buy all the defective products at the price and sell them hard.

Lin Yu didn't believe that he would use the money from the felts to collect the scraps, but it was not easy for the herdsmen to weave felts, not to mention that they were mixed with weeds, which was even more difficult to weave. However, bad is bad, Lin Yu didn't think he should sympathize. So he said: "I know that it is not easy for you to come and go, and I also know that the herdsmen weave felts hard, but a bad felt is a bad felt!" You can't just let me bear the extra cost just because you're looking away. Therefore, I will not reduce the price with you much, only give you seven cents a foot, if you think it is okay, then I will buy it, if you think it is not possible, then forget it. ”

"Girl, you can't bargain like that!" Gamu hurriedly said, "Seeing that it will snow heavily on the grassland, I also want to sell it quickly and go home, but the girl's price is too low!" ”

"I know you want to go home, but I can only give you this price, I will give you seven wen money for this thing, or I will give it if I want to cooperate with you for a long time in the future, otherwise I will say six wen!"

"Long-term cooperation?"

"That's right! In the future, all the felt on your Hushan grassland can only supply me alone. However, the quality is definitely not as bad as it is anymore! In the future, if the quality is good, I will also raise the price for you. ”

"Done! That's done! Gamu was overjoyed, thinking that this girl was really stupid, and she would come back next year, and the market would not be good, so she would still sell her. If the market is good, who can't sell it to? "Then I don't know how much the girl will buy?"

"The sincerity of my cooperation with you is to buy all your scraps of felt!"

"All?!" Gamu almost dropped his jaw in shock! The truckload of felt he brought was not sold! What's the use of asking for so much felt? This girl is so stupid!

Of course, Gamu is not mercenary, he knows his own goods, and he can't help but kindly remind Lin Yudao: "Girl, the two thousand three hundred feet I brought this time are not sold!" ”

"I said I wanted it, and I will. This is the sincerity of my cooperation. Lin Yu smiled and said, "My sincerity has been said, I don't know if Gamu can you also pay some sincerity?" ”

"My sincerity? I came to Liyun County, but I didn't bring anything except felt, hunting dogs, and horses! Gamu's eyes widened, and he really couldn't think of anything he could show sincerity.

Lin Yu smiled lightly and said, "I don't want anything from you, just Ga Mu's oath from you." I heard that you believe in the Immortal Heaven, then you swear to the Immortal Heaven that if you can't cooperate with me sincerely, you will be besieged by wolves on the way back to the grassland after breaking your oath! ”

Lin Yu's words made Gamu tremble, and the smile on Lin Yu's face became more and more weird. The felt he collected from these remnants was actually only three cents a foot, which was the price he pressed again and again. Although the road from the steppe to here was long, the hound hunted along the way, and he did not spend anything other than spending some time and paying a tariff. From three to seven wen, more than 2,000 feet, he can earn it, it goes without saying. However, she didn't want other conditions, as long as he swore to Immortal Heaven. The words they said to the Immortal Heaven were their most sincere oath! Those who break the oath of immortality will be punished most severely. What the herdsmen are most afraid of is wolves, but this girl, let him swear to the immortal heaven, and use the wolf bite as a punishment to force himself to keep his promise!

However, since he came, this batch of felt was the only commodity for him. If you sell it, you will make more than double the money. If you don't sell it, you'll lose everything. The price difference is too big, how can he not be tempted! Gamu closed his eyes, finally knelt down, and made the most pious vow.

Lin Yu is gambling! She's gambling with her net worth! Gamu gave Lin Yu a little benefit, all the felt, and charged sixteen hanging money. Lin Yu left the palace and carried a total of ten taels of silver from the Internal Affairs Office. Returning to Liyun and buying all kinds of things to make pastries, there were only five taels of silver left before and after. The old lady of the Ding family celebrated her birthday and gave her two taels of silver. Daquan let her do business and gave two pieces of money. All of this adds up, and Lin Yu is only a net worth of nine hanging money. Lin Yu remembered that when she left the palace, she also had a gilt bracelet and two plain silver hairpins, which were things that the previous lord liked very much, but now, she could only pawn those things!

Lin Yu went home first to pick up the jewelry, and then took it to the pawnshop to exchange huàn. Once this thing is pawned, it is worthless. Two plain silver hairpins, the pawnshop did not look at the process, only gave three taels of silver. And the gilt bracelet was a good one, and it was also heavy, and it was exchanged for five taels of silver. In this way, adding up in total, Lin Yu has a capital of seventeen pennies, and if he gouges away Gamu, he only has one penny left.

Gamu helped Lin Yu send all the felt home and put it away, then took Lin Yu's money and left. Looking at the room full of felt, Lin Yu thought that maybe he would be able to earn back the money soon.
