Chapter 468: Northeast Flower Cloth
The master asked Yun'er to price the goods, and he knew that Yun'er couldn't bear to set a high price. Because Yun'er has a knot in his heart, that is, those cultural relics have already made a lot of money, and it is unbearable to earn them again. This is the difference between Yun'er and people in the world, who in the world is not the more money they make, the better? Regardless of whether it has earned or not, it is better to have a chance to earn it, isn't the more silver and property the better? Isn't there a saying called "the heart to the Buddha's knowledge"? Master Gan Lin is an enlightened person in the Bodhisattva realm, with full qiÄ supernatural powers, Yun'er, Wang Ye, and Tian Liang are the central figures in this business, and what they think and do is a process of accumulating merit, and of course other people are like this. It is because the three of them are the central characters, and their thoughts and thoughts are very important, and they are all under the control of Master Gan Lin and the Holy Nyorai. In fact, how much money you make is not the most important, but how you think about it. Because man's behavior is governed by his thoughts, and if his thoughts are clean, his actions will be clean.
The eldest sister also said that the price should not be too low or too low, which would run other cloth houses in the capital of the Qing Dynasty into bankruptcy. So after weighing all aspects, it was set at thirty-five wen and one foot. That is, seven yuan in an exotic land, which is one foot not one meter, and twenty-one yuan in terms of rice, this price is still relatively reasonable.
Here it can't be called the Northeast big flower cloth, it is called the big flower cloth, which means big flower type. This kind of cloth was never sold in any cloth house in the Qing Dynasty, because the level of printing and dyeing in the Qing Dynasty was far from this level. The level of floral pattern painting of this kind of flower cloth is quite superb, and it is more than ten streets to throw the flower cloth of the Qing Dynasty. So as soon as you get to the counter, there is a queue, and no one thinks that the price is too high. If such a cloth was produced in the Qing Dynasty, the price might be higher.
Don't look at the low cultural literacy of the common people in the Qing Dynasty, and there are few people who can read, after all, there are people who can read. There is a billboard similar to an exotic light box at the entrance of Yulong Cloth Village, which reads: "My store has a number of new twill wide large flower cloths, which are sold in limited quantities, and each person can buy five feet, thirty-five Wen and one foot, a total of one hundred and seventy-five Wen, and the format is four feet eight inches." Features: sturdy, beautiful, small shrinkage, no fading. "Those who know how to read and recite aloud will understand those who don't know how to read. Regardless of whether you know how to read or not, you will know that this kind of flower cloth is too cheap.
The width of the large flower cloth is four feet eight inches wide, which is much wider than the two pieces of the Qing Dynasty, and then it is colorful and beautiful, which is very festive. Ordinary people are not allowed to wear silk and satin, and they do not have the economic conditions, so it is great to be able to buy such a flower cloth for their sons to marry and give their daughters as a dowry as wedding quilts!
The people who buy cloth feel that the backer behind the shopkeeper Chen is very hard, can there be a royal gold plaque? Maybe there were soldiers from the Royal Forest Army to watch the scene, so there was basically no trouble.
In order to save time and avoid looting and stampede, a limited supply of five-foot-long large flower cloth is sold per person. It is enough to make a quilt dough. If you want to buy a few more yuan, then stand in line a few more times, and if you queue too much, you have to buy and sell, and there will be a soldier who whispers to remind him: "Don't buy it, someone is paying attention to you." The man will slip away.
When buying this kind of cloth in a foreign land, Xiaoli also laughed at Yun'er's old-fashionedness.
Originally, I wanted to measure and cut the cloth in the house, but after thinking about it, there will definitely be people who regard the large flower cloth as the cloth head, which confuses the boundary between the genuine cloth and the cloth head, or the measurement on the spot.
The number of pro-soldiers in the amount of cloth has increased by three pairs, and the speed is also very fast, and the cloth is limited, and it is stipulated how much to sell every day, otherwise, the pro-soldiers who measure the cloth can't stand it.
In this way, from the shopkeeper to the guy, Yulong Buzhuang can't wait to pull the cat's tail on the kang when he rests at the end of the day and at night. If it weren't for the big tree of the palace, it would be impossible to cope with the reinforcements at any time. Then again, without a royal palace, where would they be able to sell this cloth? Just listening to the money making money into the basket at the shopkeeper's feet, the abacus beads crackled and crunched. You can't close the door when it's closed! The guests squeezed the door panel and did not let it close, and they had to buy the large flower cloth before leaving. Even Tian Liang and Nalan stayed with them until midnight - they didn't dare to leave, for fear that someone would rob the money.
The next day, he didn't dare to send so many large flower cloths, but replaced the big flower cloth with a fabric called "plaid bed sheet cloth", and the big shopkeeper of Ruiqian thought that he could take a breath now. As a result, when I asked the price, the lattice bed sheet cloth with a width of 30 wen and a foot and a width of 1.4 meters was still the same as the stationmaster's row!
If you look closely, you can see that not all the people who buy cloth are ordinary people, some are dressed very decently, and some wear silk and satin, and even the officials in the yamen run out to buy plaid bed sheets.
Tian Liang discussed with his cousin that he had to find another way to sell cloth, otherwise there would be no robbery and stampede; If you sell more cloth, you will get more money, and no one will kidnap your cousin. It doesn't have to happen, but it can happen. Ruiqian is a scholar, and he can't be compared with a person who practices martial arts.
In fact, Ruiqian was also a little uneasy, and his cloth village did not have this phenomenon when it was at its most prosperous, and it was really a daily progress. When the money was counted after the door closed at night, there were seven or eight soldiers guarding the door outside the door. I really counted the money until my hands cramped, and I was so sleepy that I yawned all day long.
After the large flower cloth and plaid cloth were sold out, no new cloth came in. Ruiqian sold the Daqing cotton cloth and homespun cloth he had bought before, as well as the brocade sent by the emperor, and the passenger flow suddenly decreased. Although someone came to inquire about the time of the new cloth, Ruiqian's excuse was very sufficient: "Those new samples of cloth are sold to relatives in Xia, and when will he send new cloth to Xia, and he will sell it later." ā
But it can't always be like this, business can't be done, and the personal safety of the shopkeeper and guys must be guaranteed. So Tian Liang thought of a way to alleviate the crowding: sell the brand first, and go to the designated place to get the fabric according to the brand. One zhang per person, the brand is red, the red is the bottom of the cloth, the green is the green of the bottom of the cloth, save the noisy. In this way, the flower cloth is cut according to the length of one zhang in the house, and each piece of cloth is given an extra inch, which is used for shrinkage.
So, the west window of the cloth village opened a gate, buy the big flower cloth first buy the brand, that is, pay first, to a family not far from here ordinary house to receive the cloth, according to the color of the brand to the corresponding flower cloth, all are a unified one zhang long cloth, not wrong at all. These fabrics are cut in the house, and there are many people in the house, and the soldiers and maids pick out ten or eight, and cut the cloth according to the method Yun'er said, so that they can be cut in the cloth village.
The place to receive the cloth is a courtyard house renting from the house, which is not very far from the Yulong Cloth Village, and the gate is pasted with "Pay the cloth here". Open the gate, and on the inside of the gate there is a long table horizontally, and the soldiers sit behind the table according to the number plate. The guests came and took the cloth and left, no nonsense at all. Individual careful people are not worried about the size of the fabric, so that someone will measure the cloth for him on the spot, not only will not be less, but also an inch more.
Dong Ji Buzhuang of Dong Kui on the Xicheng side also adopted this method, renting a courtyard, and having the soldiers of the palace put a long table horizontally at the open gate, and the guests took the cloth away without entering the courtyard. It is very convenient, and the store department of Buzhuang is only responsible for collecting money and issuing licenses. Save yourself from huddling in front of the counter and shouting at the top of the table, but you can't hear anything clearly, and it's easy to attract thieves.
Ruiqian's cloth village immediately quieted down, and only the people queuing up to buy the brand were there in an orderly manner to pay money and select goods. At that time, there were not many people renting houses, and the rent was relatively low.
Yun'er knows best how much cloth she has in her hands, and there are as many as 700 million yuan of genuine cloth alone, as well as more than 8 million yuan of cloth. These cloth heads are all used by Xiaolijian yƬ patchwork, Yun'er has seen the finished product of professional patchwork on the Internet, it is really a hundred flowers blooming, a hundred schools of thought contending. She believes that the women of the Qing Dynasty would also be interested in patchwork. The patchwork pictures brought back by Yun'er are also very impressive, so she used the stall where Yu'er Shui'er went home to eat at noon to carry the cloth that could be used for patchwork in the hall. In fact, Yun'er doesn't need to meditate cross-legged, and she doesn't need to close her eyes to make a spell to carry it in the air, just think about what she wants and how much she wants.
Yun'er had taken a lot of large and small cloths to the Fujin Courtyard before, and when she sent them, she explained in advance what they were used for and how much they were completed. It's really a good foundation, otherwise it's really not good to be confused about the temple and the gods, and it's really not okay to take it seriously. The thing is not very valuable, but it was brought over by the master with supernatural powers, and the master's supernatural powers are priceless, can they be measured by money? Therefore, Yun'er's distribution of living materials to the Fujin Courtyard, to the girls and grandmothers in her own courtyard and the old lady's courtyard was only a slight surplus, and there was not much more. Don't get into the bad habit of spending big!
"Let's learn a new kind of patchwork. Sister Shui'er, you brought Lan'er and them to match the cloth, and put the pockets on the case, this time the cloth heads are all strips of cloth, and the color of the strips of cloth is very good-looking, but it is not elastic cloth, it is calico for bed sheets. I don't know what mistakes I made, but I cut them into one by one, with different widths and narrowness, and different lengths. It's all pure cotton, and it's very regular. ā
Yun'er demonstrated that these strips of cloth were picked together according to their width, length, and color, sprayed with water, covered the tide, and then flattened and folded together, one by one, very regular. Shui'er also followed Yun'er's example and folded the strips of cloth and put them back in the box, so that it would be convenient to use. All the cloth heads are new, piled up on the case, and the flowers are blooming. Yun'er's smile on his face infected the fish and water, and the master's heart was relaxed when he was happy.
The fish was pregnant and was abandoned, and the four of them began to toss these strips of cloth. Looking at a few people tidying up the cloth and thinking: "The leaders of these manufacturers have problems, right?" It's all cloth on the sheets, so why cut it off? ā
She didn't know that the ones that were cut out were also used for patchwork, and she wanted to spell out some ingenious bedding: quilts, pillows, quilt covers, and a few high-grade and high-grade bedding. People who can make patchwork are very idle, have a lot of time, and are also rich, generally retired old ladies are more, and they have nothing to think about how to get a beautiful thing to decorate their own, children's, and grandchildren's rooms. But an old lady of two, ten or eight can't buy so many strips of cloth. In fact, these strips of cloth are really good, not only the quality of the fabric is good, but also the colors are more, and those with a little artistic vision can spell out different styles of art.
Use the dark cloth strip as the edge of the quilt, which can press any color inside, and then match it with a slightly lighter small piece of cloth of the same color, or a square, or a square upright, or cut into a long diamond shape, and put together a geometric shape. It gives a very comfortable feeling.
Yun'er sent the prepared pieces of cloth to all the grandmothers, and asked everyone to go back and design the pattern before sewing. You can't count in your heart, and you can't count where you want. The teaching grandmothers received the materials and went back to patchwork happily. Spell out the fabric, one person and one style. In particular, the fish is well done, using a core of checkered cloth with a pink edge on the outside and pink on the inside, and a bear series with different movements and clothes inside, which is the product of a combination of patchwork and cloth stickers. He is known as the best among the eight grandmothers.
Under the "humming teaching" of the mothers, the girls and grandmothers in the front and back yards screamed several times in front of the samples, and then devoted themselves to the study and making of patchwork. Yun'er instructed Lan'er, Hui'er, and Jing'er to be responsible for the distribution of patchwork materials, and each participant was given enough patchwork cloth pieces to process the patchwork quilt according to the sample. didn't give them too heavy a task, everyone put together two quilts and took them to Ruiqian's cloth village to sell. The buyer did not feel worthless because it was a rag spelling, the material of the patchwork was better than the last time, beautiful and generous, and the guests had to buy a "hundred quilts".
"Look, master, the fabric in this pocket is almost as heavy as the stone egg you said, and it is rolled up and packed into a bag. This fabric is very good, elastic and strong, and it is said that brocade is not brocade, where is the brocade hairy? What can be done with such a thickness? ā
"I'll see. This fabric is square, the color is very positive, it is all dark red or dark green, can you make a shoulder for the child? Or do you want to make a bag? It's also good to make a seat cushion. Cut several strips of cloth of the same length and height, and when the thickness is thick, prepare two more belts, and then add the decoration of the cloth sticker. Try? Yun'er was very patient when she taught the seven people how to teach Mama the arts, and her tone was all negotiable, so that the people listening to the class would not be so nervous. Adults are not as active as children in class, and the number of people is small, so Yun'er is not very worried about teaching Mama Xi's lectures, she is the master, who dares to have a small meeting when the master is lecturing? So after Yun'er talked about the essentials of fabric art to be made, everyone did it themselves.
It's just that Yun'er feels like brocade, and a little fluffy cloth is made into a pocket by the teaching grandmothers, and the cloth stickers are added to the outside, or the small flowers, sequins, embroidery and other decorations on the sew, and they immediately get up in spirit.
There is also Yun'er said that she can make a shoulder for the child, and Mama has also practiced it, the fabric is beautiful, plus a cartoon cloth sticker above the left placket, or a small embroidered flower, which immediately adds three points of color to the small shoulder.
Before the end of class, Yun'er asked Shui'er to send a certain amount of consumables and ancillary decorations to everyone, so that the teachers could go back to their own creativity.
