CHAPTER XXXVI

The shopkeeper then accepted the thirty taels of silver, and he kept five taels of silver for himself to drink, and the rest was divided equally among the people who had contributed to Miss Liu. Although Miss Liu didn't use their design in the end, they were also so tired that they didn't close their eyes for several days during that time, and it was time to make up for it.

This money will not be given to them according to the rules of Markham, but since it is the money given by Miss Liu, it can naturally be divided among them. As long as they have enough money in their hands, they will no longer complain about Markham, and they will continue to draw for Markham in the future.

Miss Liu watched the extra thirty taels of silver allocated by the two of them on the side, and she appreciated Lin Zhiyun and Shopkeeper Wan even more, and trusted Markham Lou more.

"I heard that the lotus network in Markham Tower has been played by Mrs. Shen recently, I don't know if Mrs. Shen can make a lotus network for me, the kind that hangs on the wall, I am willing to pay ten taels of silver." Miss Liu said again.

Lin Zhiyun couldn't help laughing, feeling that Miss Liu was simply her God of Wealth.

"Since Miss Liu wants it, I'll go back and try it, and try to get it for you within half a month."

Miss Liu now has a lot of trust in her, and when she heard this, she smiled and said, "I will be at home during this time before I get married, just let the people from Markham House notify me when you are ready." ”

Lin Zhiyun nodded, turned around and went to buy a bundle of red ropes with large strings, and bought some pink silk flowers, planning to make some lotus silk flowers to sell in a few days. However, the cost of making silk flowers is much higher than that of making silk flowers, which is not suitable for teaching others.

Lin Zhiyun has never made up and Dilian's yarns, but it doesn't matter, many of the yarns she made up before were originally thought up by herself, and this time she just thought about one more, so she didn't believe that she couldn't think of it. Lin Zhiyun first tried to draw the pattern of the lotus on the paper, and when she drew it, she would definitely be able to make up an identical one.

It took her a day to draw the thread that was not tied to Tillian, and then it took less than a day to weave it.

Shen Junyao couldn't help but admire when she saw it: "This is so beautiful, Miss Liu will definitely like it." If you want to make a few more sisters-in-law, whoever gets married can sell one when the time comes. ”

Lin Zhiyun said with a smile: "Miss Liu has paid ten taels of silver, who else in this county is willing to spend ten taels of silver to buy this thing?" ”

Shen Junyao thought about it, her sister-in-law spent five hundred yuan to buy this bundle of red rope, but the things made of this red rope actually cost ten taels, except for Miss Liu, who is never short of money, who wants to be this wronged boss?

"Is my sister-in-law going to be sent over today?" Shen Junyao asked.

"Don't worry, I'm going to make another set of lotus silk flowers and send them over." Lin Zhiyun said and took out another piece of paper and handed it to Shen Junyao, "How about you take a look at this set of lotus silk flowers?" ”

Lin Zhiyun has been drawing drawings a lot recently, and she estimates that if she continues like this, she will only use less pen, ink and paper than Shen Junchuan. However, she wanted to make a set of eight styles of lotus silk flowers, so she naturally had to design them well.

Shen Junyao took the paper and looked at it, only to see that the paper was painted with eight lotus patterns, different sizes, different postures, and different colors, but the flowers were delicate and beautiful, which made people like it when they saw it.

"It's so beautiful, sister-in-law make it for me quickly, I believe that with my sister-in-law's craftsmanship, I will be able to do better than this painting." Shen Junyao is looking forward to it.

"I've only seen my mother make artificial silk flowers before, but I haven't done it myself, and I don't know if I can make it." Lin Zhiyun was not very sure in his heart.

Although her mother taught her, the materials used at that time were not very good, and the effect was much worse, and she was not sure if she could make the look she wanted.

Lin Zhiyun pondered while doing it, she was embarrassed to show others before things were made, so she had been nesting in her room and tinkering, and after three days of tinkering, she finally made a realistic pink lotus. Lin Zhiyun was happy in her heart, after figuring out the doorway, the rest would be done quickly, and she made two sets in less than three days.

When Lin Zhiyun made the third set, she took Jiang Xiaohui to the county together, she first went to the Du family in the town, and after giving one of the sets to the two girls of the Du family, she went to Markham Tower.

When he went to Liu's house to call someone from Markham Tower, Lin Zhiyun put the two sets of lotus silk flowers on the table.

"How about Shopkeeper Wan take a look at this set of silk flowers? It would have been nice to have a nice box, but I can't make it easy to play there. Lin Zhiyun said with a smile.

In fact, Shen Junchuan can make a good wooden box, but she is reluctant to let Shen Junchuan tired. Carpenter Zhang can also do it, but Lin Zhiyun feels that this capital can be saved a little, she can do what she is good at, and leave the rest to others to worry about.

Shopkeeper Wan was really surprised when he saw the set of silk flowers: "I thought that such realistic silk flowers could only be seen in the capital, but I didn't expect that a small place like ours could make it." ”

Lin Zhiyun said with a smile: "It's not just the capital, I heard my mother say that the one in the south of the Yangtze River is also good." ”

"Yes, yes, even if it is Fucheng, you can see some silk flowers, but our Daiyun County has never had one." The more the shopkeeper looked at it, the more he liked it, "There has never been something in this county, but I'm afraid that the price can be raised again." ”

Lin Zhiyun asked, "How do you think the shopkeeper thinks this price should be set?" ”

"I think this pair of small or a big one can be set at 500 Wen, and the largest two can be 800 Wen, and a whole box is cheaper, counting five taels of silver. If Madame is willing to do more, I will take it at the price of four taels a box. Shopkeeper Wan thought for a while and said, "And all the materials after that are provided by our Markham Building, and there is no need for Mrs. to spend the capital herself." ”

Lin Zhiyun thinks this is a good idea, although the materials she bought before are enough to make ten sets, but if she doesn't have the banner of Markham, she may not be able to sell ten taels by herself. After all, she is just a flat-headed white surname, and Shen Junchuan has no merit on her, if others find out that she has such kung fu, I am afraid that she will plunder. Now she still needs to use the power of Markham, so she is naturally willing to give up a little more profit.

Listening to Shen Junchuan's meaning, the owner of this Markham Building is the family of a high-ranking official in the capital, so this Markham Building has opened many branches, and there are many branches in various states and prefectures. They can have it in Daiyun County, it seems that it is because the hometown of the big official is here.

With this relationship, other merchants in Daiyun County did not dare to fight the idea of Markham, and she was protected by Markham, so those people naturally did not dare to fight her idea. But if she doesn't supply to Markham Lou in the future, then Markham House will probably no longer protect her.

"As long as Shopkeeper Wan thinks that it can be sold at this price, then I naturally have no opinion." Lin Zhiyun said with a smile, "But there are not many people in the county who will spend fifteen taels to buy a box of silk flowers, and I think this silk flower should be made in limited quantities." ”

Shopkeeper Wan laughed and said, "Mrs. Shen and I want to go together, and I think so too." In addition to these two boxes, I will order 22 boxes with Mrs. Shen, and this year we will only sell these 24 boxes of lotus silk flowers in Markham. ”

Lin Zhiyun was also not sure if the county town could sell twenty-four boxes, so he couldn't help but be a little worried.

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Wan smiled again: "Don't worry, madam, there are at least ten families with heads and faces in our county, and some of these families have relatives in Fucheng or other counties." Such a set of silk flowers is packaged and just right for gifts, presumably twenty-four boxes must be very popular. ”

When he said this, Lin Zhiyun was relieved.

When Miss Liu came, the shopkeeper Wan was not willing to put away the two sets of silk flowers, so Miss Liu saw it after she entered the house.

"Is this silk flower a new product launched by Markham? How much silver is a set? I want a set, I can take it with me now. ”

Shopkeeper Wan smiled: "Miss Liu wants it, so we should naturally keep it for Miss Liu." It's just that this silk flower hasn't been packaged yet, and our Markham Building is not easy to sell, so we have to bother Miss Liu to wait. We are going to make a special box for this silk flower, if you don't want to buy it in bulk, a large one and a pair of small ones are 500 Wen, and the two largest two are 800 Wen. If you bring a box and sell it together, a set is a total of five taels. However, this thing is not easy to make, and in the entire Daiyun County, I am afraid that only Mrs. Shen can do this craft, so we will only sell twenty-four boxes at most this year. ”

Miss Liu smiled: "Shopkeeper Wan is good at doing business, but I think the price of this silk flower can be sold higher." Last year, I bought a pair of hibiscus silk flowers from Fucheng and came back, which was far less beautiful than this one, but it also cost me 500 yuan. ”

Shopkeeper Wan said with a smile: "How can the prices in Daiyun County compare well with Tongzhou Mansion?" ”

Miss Liu smiled: "Why is it not comparable? My pair of silk flowers cost 500 wen to buy in Tongzhou Mansion, but because Daiyun County does not have them, some people are willing to buy them with me for 800 wen. Although it is the heart of comparison, but since this silk flower is made in limited quantities, all girls in the county who are not short of money are willing to compare and buy a box, I think the shopkeeper can be set as eight taels a box, and if it is sold in bulk, it will be eight hundred Wen. ”

Lin Zhiyun couldn't help but glance at Miss Liu more, thinking that this was also a powerful one, and he actually raised a lot of prices at once.

Miss Liu smiled at Lin Zhiyun again: "What are you nervous about?" I'm taking care of your business. I will definitely buy a set of this silk flower, as long as I buy a set, I will buy a set on Tuesday and Wednesday, they are the daughter of the county government, as long as they buy it, the merchants and women in the county will buy a set if they have loose hands. Won't you make a lot of money then? This Markham Building is not stingy, if a box can sell for eight taels, why do you have to give you five taels, right? ”

Shopkeeper Wan said with a smile: "What Miss Liu said is that if we can really sell eight taels, we in Markham House will not only give Mrs. Shen five taels per box, but also provide all the materials." ”

Shopkeeper Wan had already said this to Lin Zhiyun before, and now he said it again in front of Miss Liu, just to get a good impression from Miss Liu.

Miss Liu was very happy to hear this: "I know that the shopkeeper is kind, so I have always been the most relieved to cooperate with Markham." ”
