Chapter 31 Door-to-door delivery
Mu Dongzhi's eyes were also wet, and she said:
"Big brother, I'll do it tomorrow, let's go back and rest first."
"It's fine." Shen Kuan answered and came out with the lamp.
The two brothers went to the river to take a bath and came back to sleep.
The next day, Shen Kuan still went to renovate the house, and Shen Xiuyuan and Mu Dongzhi gave the cloth to Buzhuang.
When the shopkeeper saw such a beautiful cloth, as if he had seen silver with white flowers, he immediately took the cloth and gave eighty copper plates.
He said, "Well, I will send the cloth to you in the future, and you will dye it, so that you don't have to run back and forth, what do you think?" ”
Mu Dongzhi was stunned for a moment, the pigment she dyed the cloth was still discovered by accident, and if she waited until it was cold, there would not be so many dyes.
Therefore, she didn't dare to take care of everything, and said: "It's not suitable for dyeing cloth when it's cold, let's talk about it next year." ”
"It's not cold yet, why don't you take advantage of the fact that it's not cold to dye me more, so that I can have a better New Year's Day."
Otherwise, these pieces of cloth are not enough. The shopkeeper begged.
Mu Dongzhi is still a little embarrassed, their place is not big, and it is really not suitable for taking on big jobs.
The shopkeeper said, "What do you think of adding ten more copper plates to one piece of cloth?" ”
Mu Dongzhi looked at the shopkeeper in disbelief and said, "Dye a piece of cloth for thirty copper plates?" ”
"What's going on? I can't add more, or I'll be unprofitable. ”
"That's it."
"Where do you live?"
"Hewan Village, Shen family. There is a Shen family in Hewan Village, you will know as soon as you go in and inquire. Shen Xiuyuan said.
The shopkeeper looked at Shen Xiuyuan and asked, "Does the prince still need to sign and draw?" ”
"Naturally." Shen Xiuyuan said.
"But this time I won't press your money, do you still want to sign and draw?"
"Five taels of silver, you better bet it first." Shen Xiuyuan said with a smile.
The shopkeeper did what he said.
Mu Dongzhi was a little apprehensive in her heart, did she really find a way to make a fortune?
Shen Xiuyuan smiled and said to her: "Now that the family has a place to live, let's go back and call Dongmei and Dongyang over to help you." ”
Shen Xiuyuan knew that the Mu family was sad and there was not enough food to eat, so he thought that by bringing those three small ones over, the Mu Liu family would be able to have less burden.
Mu Dongzhi was uneasy, even if she was full and clothed in the Shen family, would she still bring her younger brothers and sisters to drag down the Shen family?
Shen Xiuyuan leaned into her ear and said: "When they come, we won't let them work in vain, when the time comes, give them some wages, let them help you pick paints, and you can't be tired, you can still free up your hands to do other things, okay?" ”
"I didn't mean that, I ......"
"We still have a lot of money to make." Shen Xiuyuan said mysteriously.
Mu Dongzhi's gaze fell on the basket, thinking that they were indeed too busy, so he nodded.
The two of them went out of the cloth village, and the shopkeeper of the cloth village immediately asked the man to take out all the white cloths in the library and send them to the Shen family to dye.
The guy said, "Curry has just arrived with a hundred and ten pieces of cloth." ”
"Send them all, and send someone to inform the young owner to bring more white cloth." The shopkeeper is shrewd.
These Bu'anyuan towns can't be sold, as well as Anning County, Ankang Mansion, and even the capital.
Shaodong's business is all over the country, and I am afraid that the supply will exceed demand.
However, the rarer the item, the more it can be fetched, isn't it?
If the young owner comes, maybe he can get the secret recipe for dyeing cloth from this little lady's hand.
When the time comes, they will be able to dye themselves.
Shopkeeper Hong made his own calculations, and Mu Dongzhi and Shen Xiuyuan took the sample basket and grasshoppers to find Wu Yin.
Wu Yin lives in a small alley and looks very low-key.
He saw the sample basket, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "This is good, this is good." ”
"We still have new tricks, I don't know if Master Wu likes it or not." Mu Dongzhi showed Wu Yin the basket he was carrying.
This is carved on both sides of the basket with two large characters of Fulu.
When Wu Yin saw this basket, he immediately nodded and said, "This is fine." However, this can only be used by the wealthy and wealthy in Kyoto.
You can also make some for me, a fifteen copper plates, as many as you want. ”
When Mu Dongzhi heard this, he immediately felt that they were earning Dafa this time.
Master Wu asked, "I wonder who the two ingenious craftsmen are?" ”
Shen Xiuyuan said: "A master, I gave him a steamed bun, and he handed me some craftsmanship. ”
Wu Yin hurriedly asked what kind of person was that?
Shen Xiuyuan told Wu Yin in the style that Mu Dongzhi told him in the dream.
Wu Yin said: "If you see him again, you will definitely help me keep him." ”
Shen Xiuyuan asked, "But what kind of relatives are you?" ”
"A distant relative, he went to Kyoto to join me before, but I came out to look for a craftsman, and now I finally have a clue from him, if you see him, please keep him and inform me."
"Okay." Shen Xiuyuan lowered his eyes and didn't ask more.
The two came out of Wu Yin, and Mu Dongzhi asked, "Didn't you say that you read it from a book?" ”
Shen Xiuyuan approached her and said, "This Master Wu wants something fake, and it's true to inquire about people." ”
Mu Dongzhi looked at him puzzled and said, "Isn't it okay to inquire directly from the inquirer?" Why bother? ”
"That's where the suspicion lies. There must be an ulterior secret. ”
Mu Dongzhi said fearfully: "We won't encounter any trouble, right?" ”
"No, he's looking for someone, and it has nothing to do with us." Shen Xiuyuan saw that the little lady was frightened, and hurriedly comforted.
But he knew in his heart that the person Wu Yin was looking for would definitely appear on August 15.
"Let's not think about it so much for now, let's buy a few cylinders first."
Mu Dongzhi thought about dyeing cloth, of course, he needed to dye the vat, so he followed him to see the vat.
The cylinder is fired and not very expensive, and the medium cylinder is a fifteen copper plates.
They want medium-sized tanks.
They went to buy grain and salt, and they needed salt to dye the cloth, so they had no shortage of salt at home.
After they finished buying their things and were about to leave the town, they walked to the place where the maltose was sold, and Shen Xiuyuan asked for two large bags of maltose.
"What are you doing with all this sugar?"
"Dongyang, they're here to eat."
Mu Dongzhi's heart is warm.
They went out to ride Uncle Wang's ox cart, and the guy who delivered the tank also arrived.
Mu Dongzhi gave Uncle Wang an extra car money, but Uncle Wang refused to ask for it, but he couldn't stand Mu Dongzhi's insistence, so he accepted it.
As soon as the jar was placed, the food delivery arrived.
Uncle Wang was secretly speechless in his heart, the Shen family's rice and noodles were all bought for 100 catties and 100 catties.
Those who have land at home don't dare to eat like this.
They had not gone far when there was a woman wiping away tears from her eyes on the side of the road, with a basket of eggs in front of her.
Mu Dongzhi hurriedly asked Uncle Wang to stop the ox cart and stepped forward to ask what was going on?
The woman said that she did not know that she had to pay taxes when she came to the town, and that she was penniless, and that she wanted to go in and sell her eggs first and then make up for them, but the officer and soldier did not agree.
