Chapter 40: Fell in love with my purse
Because the copper plate was not enough, Chen Wen had to take out the precious half tael of silver, give it to him, and told him: "I want white and rose-red cotton thread, I want two kinds of cotton, and I want the cheapest paper." ”
The merchant took the half of the silver, bowed his head to give her change, and couldn't help but wonder: "What is rose?" "Red is red, what color is rose?
"Hmm...... It is a color between pink and red, darker than pink and lighter than red. ”
Chen Wen looked at the merchant with a blank face, and could only say to him: "If you tell the person who specializes in selling this kind of thing, he should understand." ”
"Okay, I'll ask, and without it, I'll just bring white."
"Okay."
If you don't have it, you can really only make do with powder and white, if Zheng Jiang is dissatisfied, let's take a look.
The merchant handed her the change, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw the purse in her hand.
Chen Wen counted and made sure that he was not wrong, so he put the copper plate he found back into his purse, then tightened the thread, wrapped the purse with a long thread, and after a few circles, he put it in his pocket at will.
During this process, the merchant's eyes never took his eyes off Chen Wen's purse.
After Chen Wen took the pen and inkstone, the merchant turned around and said, "Your purse is really chic." ”
Chen Wen only praised himself for his skillful work when others, and said with a smile: "No, I did it myself." ”
"What a clever little girl."
Chen Wen smiled slightly, patted his pocket twice with peace of mind, and heard the muffled sound of the copper coins in the purse, before he was about to turn back.
After walking a few steps, he was stopped by the merchant: "Eh, little girl, wait!" ”
Chen Wen looked back in confusion, "What's wrong?" ”
The merchant took the burden, approached Chen Wen, and stood next to her: "I don't know if you have any ideas for doing a small business?" ”
Chen Wen was puzzled, "What business?" ”
The merchant Nunu mouthed, his eyes turned to her pocket.
Chen Wen didn't know a lot, but subconsciously touched his pocket, touched the purse in his pocket, and turned his head to ask the merchant in some disbelief: "You have taken a fancy to my purse?" ”
This purse is made of leftovers from the previous light green coarse cloth, and the material is not large, so the purse is very small, and it can only hold a little silver coin, and it is difficult to hold a string of copper coins.
What Chen Wen did was actually a very traditional purse method, but the difference was that Chen Wen deliberately cut out the shape of a cloud when he cut the cloth, and the cut was irregular, which was more cute.
Only two small green leaves are embroidered on both sides of the purse, and a homemade tassel made of cotton thread hangs at the bottom.
If there are small beads and tassels with accessories as decorations, the purse should look better, but the resources are limited, so you can only make a tassel from cotton thread.
Chen Wen likes it very much, but it is not very convenient to hang it on his waist on weekdays, and if he doesn't use the money, he only puts it in his pocket most of the time, and no one has seen it except his grandmother.
Chen Wen still remembers that after finishing it, her grandmother said disgusted after reading it, it is not as practical as a pocket pocket.
Yes, grandma's purse is very big, but she doesn't like to use purses, she feels that it is easy to lose, and she hangs on her waist and panics, so she likes to sew a pocket in the mezzanine of her clothes, saying that it is not easy to lose money.
Grandma also persuaded her to make such a pocket, but Chen Wen refused, and it was a little strange when she paid to turn over her clothes.
However, according to Chen Wen's observations, everyone seems to like to carry all kinds of bits and pieces in their purses.
So Chen Wen always thought that everyone should not like small and cute purses that can't hold too much money.
I didn't expect the merchant to put the idea of her purse.
"Exactly." The merchant was very interested in her purse, and said to Chen Wen, "Can I take another look?" ”
Chen Wen nodded, took out his purse, and put it in the palm of his hand for the merchant to see clearly.
"Can this be sold? Will anyone buy it? ”
"Yes."
Looking at it again, the merchant still likes this purse very much, and from his 'vicious' vision, the women in the countryside don't like it, and the women in the city should like it.
Chen Wen didn't believe it: "Really fake? She has always felt that there is still a little deviation between the vision of people here and modern times, otherwise why wouldn't grandma like this purse.
"Why don't you believe me!" The merchant explained: "Where have the women in the city seen such a thing, their purses do not have so many tricks, and they are monotonous. ”
The merchant remembered that there was a woman from the city who bought something from him, and took out a large purse, which was beautifully embroidered, but it was inconvenient.
They certainly didn't expect that the purse could be made into such a small and delicate, strange-shaped purse.
Yes, in the eyes of the merchant, this purse is strangely shaped, but it is unexpectedly chic.
Chen Wen picked it up and admired it: "Do you think it can be a big sale?" ”
Don't lose money......
"Although I can't guarantee that it will sell well, I can try it to see if I can make money!" The merchant discussed with her: "Look, do you want to make some money together?" ”
Chen Wen fell into deep thought, seriously considering the merchant's words.
This is indeed a good way to make money, she makes it, and the merchant takes it out to sell......
The merchant carries the burden to sell goods everywhere, and every place she passes, there are many customers, and if she trades with the merchant, then her purse can be sold to other villages.
If she can sell them all once you try, then she will definitely make a lot of money by making purses and making small profits but quick turnover!
But not now, although it doesn't cost much cloth to make a purse, but she doesn't have any extra fabric on hand now, so she can't make a purse.
So Chen Wen solemnly refused: "Not for the time being." ”
The merchant was a pity, he dared to assure that the style of this purse was rare, and if he took it out to sell, as long as it was not too expensive, he could sell it more or less when he passed through the village or city.
But Chen Wen only said for the time being, and there was no clear refusal, and the merchant still had some hope.
He lifted the flat shoulder and told Chen Wen uneasily: "If you want to take the road of selling purses, you must not forget me." ”
If the little girl gave such a good thing to others later, he would die.
Looking at the merchant's expectant gaze, Chen Wen also patted his chest and promised, "No, if I want to walk a road one day, I will stand here and wait for you." ”
Anyway, she didn't think about selling her purse for the time being, but when she was free, maybe she could give it a try.
"That's good."
"Well, don't forget to bring me something when you come back."
"Don't worry, I'll remember this."
The merchant carried the burden farther and farther, and Chen Wen suddenly lowered his head and patted his small purse.
Listening to the muffled sound of the copper plate in the purse, I was a little happy.
I never thought that anyone could like a little gadget that I made.
Chen Wen thought about it and wanted to arrange a purse for Zheng Jiang's family.
Zheng Jiang's made a suit and gave a half or two halves of silver, the first time he came into contact with such a big deal, he had to hold on to such a guest, so that the business could develop in the long run!
Chen Wen thought happily and staggered home.
