Early in the morning.

Lu Yuan put the new cloth in the most conspicuous position in the store, and specially put out a discount promotion notice.

In order to avoid conflicts with the cheesecloth produced by the folk family workshop and cause social conflicts, Lu Yuan did not plan to set the price of the new cotton cloth at the same price as the original cheesecloth, he planned to set the price of the new cotton cloth slightly higher.

However, in order to open up the market in the early stage, Lu Yuan used a discount to set the new cotton cloth and cheesecloth at the same price.

The street where Lu Yuan's shop is located is the street where the cloth is concentrated, and the flow of people is relatively large.

But because there are so many cloth shops, there are still relatively few customers who really stay in one store.

Lu Yuan had to come out to sell it in person.

Of course, Lu Yuan didn't just find a passer-by to sell it.

He had to choose the kind of passerby who wanted to buy the cloth.

This kind of passerby is basically a middle-class person from a well-to-do but not too wealthy family.

Poorer civilians basically weave cloth at home and are self-sufficient, and do not spend money to buy cloth to make clothes to wear.

The wealthy households basically don't have to purchase cotton cloth by themselves, and even if they want to purchase cotton cloth, they basically buy high-quality Jiangnan Songjiang cotton cloth directly.

After all, Songjiang cotton cloth is a brand product in cotton cloth in this era.

The new cloth of the Lu family has not yet been branded, and it is difficult to attract rich people to buy it at once.

Soon.

Lu Yuan found a woman wearing a half-worn long skirt with a lotus lotus embroidered face on a lake-green background and a wooden hairpin on her head.

"This lady, your clothes are so beautiful, it can be seen that your embroidery is excellent, but the fabric of your clothes is obviously not good, if you use the spring breeze cloth in our store, it will undoubtedly make your clothes look better."

Lu Yuan came to the woman and praised him, and took out the new cloth in his hand.

Lu Yuan also gave his new cloth a brand name, "Spring Breeze", which means that if this cotton cloth is made into clothes and worn on the body, it will be as warm and comfortable as a spring breeze.

This woman was naturally very happy to hear Lu Yuan praise her embroidery work, she was originally an embroiderer in the embroidery workshop of the deputy chief soldier's mansion, and she has always been proud of her excellent embroidery, and now when she heard Lu Yuan say this, she also became interested and looked at the "spring breeze" cloth in Lu Yuan's hand.

"This cloth is very wide, how is this weaved, the fabric is also good, will it be very expensive!"

As soon as the woman touched the "Spring Breeze" cloth in Lu Yuan's hand, she couldn't put it down, praised again and again, and habitually made a posture of taking the needle boundary line with her hand and moved on the "Spring Breeze" cloth.

"It's not very expensive, a horse is about five cents more than ordinary cotton, but the store decided to give eight or five percent off ten days before the new listing of the cloth, so now it is the same price as ordinary cotton, and it will rise back to the original price after ten days, if you want to buy it, you have to buy it quickly, otherwise you will have to pay more money after ten days."

Lu Yuan replied.

"Then I'll buy one! It's silver! ”

The woman hurriedly took out the money bag, took out a small piece of broken silver, and gave it to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan handed it to Uncle Fei.

In this era, there was no unified silver coin of weights and measures, so Uncle Fei still weighed it with a scale like the blacksmith Yang that day, and then cut out about three coins of silver with scissors, and after weighing it again, he cut a small point on a piece of broken silver that the woman originally gave him, and then weighed it again with the piece of silver that he had originally cut, but Uncle Fei found that he had received more silver, and then cut it down a little more, and then weighed the silver of three coins.

And then.

Uncle Fei used a piece of Fujian paper to wrap the remaining small pieces of broken silver and some silver foam for the woman.

The woman also looked at it and said that there was no doubt, and after taking the small paper bag, the silver scraps and silver nuggets were put back into the money bag, and then Lu Yuan took back the "spring breeze" cloth in his hand and left.

After selling the first piece of cloth and earning a full penny and five cents of silver, Lu Yuan was still quite happy in his heart.

Lu Yuan believed that he would earn more in the future.

However, Lu Yuan did not plan to just wait in the store to sell cloth, only the urban middle class could come to the store to sell cloth, and Lu Yuan did not plan to give up the market of the rich and noble.

But the only rich class Lu Yuan knows now is the Tang family.

Therefore, Lu Yuan also specially asked people to weave two silk cloths out of raw silk, and one of them was made into a dress, ready to be given to his fiancée Tang Ying.

The dress was designed by Lu Yuan himself for the tailor to cut according to the memories of later generations, and he also compared it on Erniu, he believed that this dress should make Tang Ying like it.

"Cousin, cousin, do you really believe that he Lu Yuan can write good words, he is usually simple and stupid, and he doesn't even dare to take the test, how can he write good words, although I don't know what words he gave to his cousin, but I think he must have copied them from elsewhere, and fortunately he recognized a few words."

In the Tang Mansion Garden.

Zhang Heng took the opportunity of his mother's visit to Tang Mansion to come to Tang Ying again, and as soon as he came, he began to slander Lu Yuanlai.

Zhang Heng went back and thought about it for a few days, he knew that if he wanted his cousin to lose his favor towards Lu Yuan, he could only find a way to convince his cousin that Lu Yuan couldn't make good poems.

Therefore, now Zhang Heng said this in front of Tang Ying and Tang Wenyun.

"But my brother and I have never heard of this song, cousin, you may be really worried."

Although Zhang Heng said this, Tang Ying also had some doubts that the poem was not made by Lu Yuan, and also regretted that she had agreed to marry Lu Yuan too hastily because she was touched by that poem, but she had also read a lot of works by writers such as Yang Shen, Tang Yin, and Xu Wei in the Tang and Song dynasties and even this dynasty in the past few days, and she was sure that the poem was not copied by Lu Yuan.

Zhang Heng naturally didn't want to believe Lu Yuan, so he continued: "Maybe he found a down-and-out literati to ghostwrite, and he spent the same money to buy it as those Qinglou Qinglu." ”

Tang Ying fell silent when he heard this, and began to suspect that Lu Yuan might have bought it.

But Tang Wenyun said with a smile at this time: "In the entire Linqing City and even the entire Shandong Buzheng Division, I haven't heard of anyone's poetry and writing that can write such words, so maybe it was really Lu Yuan who did it himself." ”

At this time, Tang Ying's maidservant Caiyi came to report: "Girl, my uncle is here, saying that there is a gift for you." ”

Tang Ying was quite stunned, because of that poem, she was also interested in Lu Yuan, and now because of Zhang Heng's questioning, she even wanted to ask Lu Yuan about that poem in person, so she replied without hesitation: "Please." ”

Soon.

Lu Yuan walked over, followed by Uncle Fei, who was holding a small box and a rectangular box in his hands.

Tang Ying greeted Lu Yuan coldly: "Brother Shi." ”

Lu Yuan also greeted Tang Ying and the others.

Zhang Heng didn't return the salute, he only snorted coldly, just now he heard his cousin's maidservant call Lu Yuan his uncle, he was a little panicked in his heart.
