Chen Wen hurriedly put on his shoes, grabbed his purse, and ran out.

"Don't worry, the merchant will wait for you."

"Okay, no hurry."

There was no hurry, Chen Wen still ran fast, she finished eating and did embroidery for a while, and she only remembered what day it was after being reminded by her grandmother.

She almost forgot that a merchant was coming today, and she asked the merchant to bring something, and the merchant left in a while.

Chen Wen ran fast, but fortunately caught up.

The merchant was sending off the last little boy when he looked up and saw Chen Wen's eyes lit up.

"I thought you weren't coming today."

Chen Wen held her knees and panted, her face was sweaty, she wiped it off with her sleeve, and said with a smile: "Why don't you come, I'm in a hurry." ”

It's really in a hurry, the others are all sewn, and the pink petals are missing and are still empty.

She had been thinking about it a few days ago, but when the time came, she almost forgot about it.

And she will be handed over to Zheng Jiang soon, so she won't be in a hurry.

"Is there cotton thread?"

The merchant nodded, and took out a bundle of thread from under the burden, some white and some rose-red, mixed together, tied with a red rope, not afraid of messing up.

He pointed to the rose-red thread and said with a smile: "When I bought the goods, I told the shopkeeper that I wanted rose-red cotton thread, and the shopkeeper said that there was nothing rose-red.

Then, I told him what you said, and when he heard it, he really found it for me, and said that it wasn't rose-red, it was called bright pink, you see, right? ”

Chen Wen took it and looked at it carefully, and nodded happily: "Yes." "It turns out that this is called Yan Pink.

The merchant took out her paper again, and it was a thick stack.

When Chen Wen saw the merchant take out such a big stack, he thought to himself, it's over, she doesn't have the money to buy it all!

The merchant saw that Chen Wen didn't answer, and pushed forward, "What are you doing in a daze, and then ah." ”

Chen Wen took it, and his tone hesitated: "This, I may not have the money, I can buy it all, how much does it cost?" ”

"It's not expensive." The merchant smiled so that his face was full of folds, which made Chen Wen feel a lot closer: "The cotton thread includes this stack of paper, you ...... Give me half a silver for all. ”

"Huh?" Chen Wen raised his eyebrows, is paper so cheap? Isn't it rare that things are expensive, and Luoyang paper is not expensive?

Of course, the merchant saw her confusion, but he didn't explain it.

Chen Wen took out the money from her purse, and sure enough, she saw the merchant staring at her purse again.

She smiled secretly, put half a tael of silver in the merchant's hand, and said, "Do you really like my purse?" ”

"Yes, I like it." The merchant glanced at her purse again: "Don't you think it's profitable?" ”

Chen Wen agreed, believing that what he said was reasonable and indeed a benefit.

"I think it's feasible, but I don't really have time to make a purse."

The merchant was puzzled: "Isn't this farming busy?" ”

"I've been busy making clothes lately."

"Are you still an embroiderer?"

"It's barely a matter of buying and selling things."

"How can that count?"

It is these traders who buy and sell things, but they dare not compare with the embroidery girl, the embroidery girl can be recruited to make clothes for the official family, and the one who is not recruited is also precious among the neighbors of the village.

Chen Wen didn't tell him this, he wanted to thank him and leave.

Suddenly remembered that her silkworms were still alive, although they were all alive and well now, but it was hard to ensure that unconsciously, they would not bend their feet and leave her, so how should her winter be.

She hesitated for a moment, but still asked the merchant, "I don't know if you have any way to get in touch with any rabbit fur, wool or the like?" ”

"I only sell goods, I don't accept animal hair, so you'll have to find someone who specializes in this. But what do you look for and do this? ”

Chen Wen was a little disappointed, but he still told the truth: "I want to make a dress that can survive the winter before winter comes." ”

"Padded in your clothes?"

"Yes."

"It's the first time I've heard that we still need to use stuffed clothes to survive the winter in this kind of weather?"

Wear more clothes here for the winter, countrymen, work all year round, are in good health, are not afraid of cold in winter, and can resist the past.

The first time he heard that there was a country girl who wanted to make stuffed clothes, which were bought by nobles in the county who didn't like to move, and the kind of clothes filled with cotton and the like were very expensive, let alone filled with animal hair, which was even more expensive.

However, if this girl is an embroiderer, she saves a lot of embroidery costs.

"Then where do I have to go to find someone who sells these?"

"In the county, those who specialize in raising animals will transport their hair to the county town and sell it."

County? Then rely on her legs, you have to scrap it...... Chen Wen was a little frustrated.

Seeing that Chen Wen was so depressed, the merchant thought for a while and discussed with her: "Are you in a hurry?" If you're not in a hurry...... I'm going to the county seat next month, help you take a look? ”

Chen Wen was ecstatic and bowed deeply to him, "Then please leave it to you." ”

The merchant waved his hand again and again: "Oh, hey, I can't stand it." ”

He's just a peddler, and he's never seen anyone bow to him.

"I can stand it!" Chen Wen smiled at him, "Thank you so much." ”

"It's fine."

"Then I'll go back, and we'll meet again next time you come."

The merchant nodded, Chen Wen had just walked out not far away, and when the merchant lowered his head and picked up the flat burden, he saw the things in the basket and hurriedly called her.

"Wait, wait, there's something I forgot for you."

I was interrupted by her saying that I wanted animal hair, and I almost forgot about it.

Chen Wen stopped and turned around: "What? ”

I saw the merchant put the burden on his shoulders, turned around and rummaged, took out the cloth from a basket, and handed it to Chen Wen.

Chen Wen looked at the cloth, then at the merchant, and wondered: "I didn't ask for the cloth." ”

"Someone asked for cloth in front of me, so I got in one, but they only needed half a horse, no, no one wanted it all the way."

The merchant was also a little helpless: "Everyone else buys one by one, no one can look at half of it, and it is not possible to make a full set of clothes, and you look at this color...... Very vegetarian. ”

Chen Wen stretched out his hand and touched it, the fabric was medium and inferior, the color was white, and it was indeed difficult to buy and wear.

However, she can buy it for scraps.

"And how much money does this cost?"

The merchant smiled: "Don't want money, don't want money, give it to you." ”

Chen Wen was flattered: "Give it to me?" ”

Do businessmen also trade at a loss?

"Yes, for you. I can't sell it anyway, so it's better to do a favor and give it to you, and you can take it. ”

Chen Wen waved his hand in a panic: "Then I can't ask for it." ”

"Why not, I'm thinking, let you hurry up and be empty, so that I can make a purse."

Of course, businessmen will not do loss-making transactions, these are all given by him to Chen Wen, as a personal favor, which is a 'bribe'.

After speaking, he stuffed it directly into Chen Wen's arms, and picked up the flat pole and left.

Chen Wen was stunned and took the things.

The merchant is kind, she is not a greedy and cheap person, people have to walk a long way a day, and all they earn is hard money, how difficult it is to do this.

After being stunned for a while, he hugged the cloth in his arms, chased after him, and secretly followed him while the merchant was not paying attention, took out the copper plate from his purse, and quietly put it into his burden.

The merchant was also in the next village, and when he was fetching things for people, he found that there were many copper plates under the burden.

He held the copper plate, and instantly remembered the little girl just now.
