Chapter 27: The Opportunity to Make a Fortune Has Come
His appetite was probably tricked by Mu Dongzhi's provisions, and he was a little lacking in interest.
Shen Xiuyuan is the same, after eating the food cooked by the little lady, these dishes seem ordinary.
Mu Dongzhi also sandwiched a chopstick, which was salty and salty, and it was not as delicious as imagined.
She knew that people had always thought the salt was more delicious than it.
Salt is quite expensive, but it doesn't necessarily taste good if the salt taste is too strong.
She couldn't eat this salty dish.
Wu Yin was a little embarrassed when he saw that the three of them didn't eat much, and asked, "But the dishes are not appetizing?" ”
Shen Kuan said sullenly: "It's not as good as the craftsmanship of the winter solstice." ”
"Hmm." Shen Xiuyuan also thought so.
Wu Yin looked at Mu Dongzhi curiously and asked, "The winter solstice girl is very good at cooking." ”
"It's all some home-cooked food, maybe the big brother and the distant brother are used to eating it." Mu Dongzhi hurriedly said.
Shen Xiuyuan looked at Wu Yin and said:
"Master Wu, if you have something to say, just say it, don't go around in circles."
Wu Yin was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said:
"Shen Gongzi is really refreshing, even so, then Wu will not be funny.
Wu is going to order a batch of bamboo baskets from you. ”
Mu Dongzhi's heart suddenly became excited, and he asked, "Why did Master Wu come to this place to order a bamboo basket?" ”
"I have a relative in Kyoto who knows a palace minister.
The imperial dining room should order a batch of supplies, ceramic crockpots, pots and pans, bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, and boards, all of which must be replaced.
So my relative asked for a relationship to find a way for me.
It just so happened that some time ago, I bought your basket and went home, and I saw that you were finely made, the bamboo strips were polished smoothly, and the weaving was also very exquisite, so I wanted to meet you and see if I could help me make this batch of goods. ”
Shen Xiuyuan's eyes narrowed, this Master Wu was obviously lying.
However, he did not debunk him and asked:
"Then how much is Master Wu going to want? What price? ”
"After all, this is something to enter the palace, and each bamboo strip must be engraved with the three words Fu Lu Shou, and a bamboo basket is counted as fifty copper plates, a total of five hundred.
In addition, you will weave some grasshoppers for me, one grasshopper and seven copper plates, what do you think? ”
Mu Dongzhi was secretly surprised in his heart, how much is five hundred baskets? There are also grasshoppers.
Shen Xiuyuan said: "The price of grasshoppers in Kyoto can more than triple. Ten copper plates, one piece. ”
Wu Yin pretended to think for a while and said, "It's okay, but you have to do more for me." ”
"Yes, but the contract still has to be signed, go back and go to the government with Master Wu to sign the contract, Master Wu Shen has to pay half of the deposit first." Shen Xiuyuan said.
Wu Yin was secretly shocked, and he said that this young man would definitely be able to achieve great things in the future.
Therefore, this good fate, he has concluded.
So he immediately said, "It should be, it should be." ”
And so it was settled.
Shen Xiuyuan said to Mu Dongzhi and Shen Kuan: "Let's make do with something first, don't let down Master Wu's wishes." ”
"Yes, yes, eat quickly." Wu Yin hurriedly said.
Although the food is not very tasty, they are all hungry people, and they will not be picky and will not be able to eat a single bite.
Mu Dongzhi asked for rice, and he could still eat less and more rice.
After the meal, Wu Yin and Shen Xiuyuan went to the government to write a contract, drew a pledge, and gave ten taels of silver as a deposit.
Shen Xiuyuan came out with ten taels of silver, and said to Mu Dongzhi and Shen Kuan with a smile:
"Let's go, let's go to Buzhuang."
As he spoke, he took the frame that Mu Dongzhi was carrying and carried it on his back.
The three of them went to the cloth village, and the shopkeeper of the cloth village saw that it was a big guest who had come to buy a lot of cotton cloth last time, and immediately greeted him.
He saw the cloth they were wearing.
The fabric is cotton, but the color is not the color of their fabric.
"Dare to ask the two sons, the cloth ...... on your body"
"Heh, the cloth I bought here last time, I went back and dyed it myself."
The shopkeeper's eyes immediately showed a bit of shrewdness, if it was really they dyed themselves?
No dyehouse has ever produced such a beautiful cloth.
Mu Dong stepped forward and asked, "What does the shopkeeper look like this color?" ”
"Beautiful."
"I still have this color." As she spoke, she pulled out a green square handkerchief from her sleeve.
The shopkeeper shouted and asked, "I don't know where you got the dye from?" ”
Mu Dongzhi said: "This is a secret. If the shopkeeper wants these colors, I can dye them for you.
But how about you give me twenty wen to dye a piece of cloth? ”
The shopkeeper was shrewd, and suddenly felt that there was a lot to be gained, so he said, "Yes, but you have to dye the muslin cloth from me." ”
"No problem."
So the shopkeeper took out three pieces of cloth and said, "These are all fine cloths, and you must give five taels of silver as a deposit." ”
"Done." Shen Xiuyuan immediately took out the broken silver, flattened the shopkeeper, and flattened out five taels of silver.
The shopkeeper was ready to hand over the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, but Shen Xiuyuan asked the shopkeeper to write a receipt.
The shopkeeper has never met such a person, isn't it honest to do business? Where do I need to write a receipt or something?
He didn't know what to do for a while, Shen Xiuyuan asked for a pen and paper to write down the receipt, and then handed it to the shopkeeper to look at.
When the shopkeeper saw the good words of this hand, he immediately had a little respect.
You must know that the reader is superior.
"What's the shopkeeper's doubt?" Shen Xiuyuan asked.
"No, no, let's draw a charge." As he spoke, he immediately pressed his handprint.
Shen Xiuyuan also pressed the handprint, and the contract was in duplicate, and each of them held one copy.
Mu Dongzhi asked for two more white cotton cloths, and the three of them came out of the cloth village.
When they returned, they were surprised to see someone fighting.
Mu Dongzhi didn't want to go over to see the excitement, but when he heard the people who went to see the excitement say that there was a fight between the people who sold bamboo baskets, he squeezed over there.
Shen Kuan and Shen Xiuyuan hurriedly protected Mu Dongzhi from both sides, preventing her from being squeezed in.
That's when they squeezed into the crowd.
It was indeed Wang Gen who was fighting.
Seeing this, Shen Kuan immediately stepped forward and separated Wang Genzhu from Wang Tietou, and asked, "What are you doing?" Isn't there a shame? ”
Wang Genzhu immediately became annoyed and said, "Boss of the Shen family, you came here to praise and comment, see if Wang Tietou did it right?"
We said that the bamboo basket had seven copper plates, but he secretly sold six copper plates and one piece.
Obviously said that the seven copper plates, why did he sell six? ”
"Are you embarrassed to say me? Didn't you sell five of them later?
And the face to talk about me? Wang Tietou was also angry, his face was red, and his neck was thick.
Mu Dongzhi was dumbfounded, did they reduce the price like this in order to sell things?
However, she looked at the basket they had made, and to be honest, she didn't want it to be given to her.
The living was very rough, and the bamboo strips were not scraped, probably because the bamboo was split and braided.
They've saved their work, but this basket will hurt people.
Also, this bamboo strip is thick and thin, where is the big brother splitting well?
She can't look down on this work.
