Lin Zhiyun originally thought that the price of this cloth was not expensive, and the villagers in several surrounding villages could afford it, let alone the town. She plans to spread it in the town and several surrounding towns first, and then sell it to more and farther places when she becomes famous in the future.

But now the traveling merchant actually sells it directly in Fucheng.

This also has an advantage, since the grocery store can be prosperous for a long time, then their cloth will naturally be able to become famous in the city, and the cloth village in the town will not be able to bear their name at that time.

"In that case, what do you think about it, then you will only sell it to that grocery store?" Lin Zhiyun asked.

You Shang smiled: "If you put it in the grocery store in Tongzhou Mansion to sell it, you will definitely not worry about selling it, I think it's good." In addition to the Fucheng in Tongzhou Mansion, there are similar grocery stores in Rongcheng in Xiacheng, and if they can be sold in those places, they will definitely be able to help their sister-in-law become famous earlier. ”

Lin Zhiyun said with a smile: "The words of Xia Cheng Rongcheng are too far, and it is not good for us to let the traveling merchant run so far with this little bit of goods now, let's save more in the future." ”

You Shang hurriedly nodded in response: "This is natural, I just have that idea." If you want to go to Rongcheng or Xiacheng, it would be a waste of time and energy to bring only these twenty or thirty pieces of cloth. ”

"This time there are a total of fifty-three pieces of cloth, of which there are more solid colors, only ten are dark lines, and eight are jacquards.

In fact, dark grain is also a kind of jacquard, but dark grain is generally two-color or three-color, and the colors are relatively close. Lin Zhiyun said that in order to distinguish between dark patterns and jacquards, her jacquard patterns are complex, and the color matching is more sophisticated. The patterns on these fabrics were all designed by herself, and they were unique before no one imitated them, so the price was much higher after being sold to Fucheng.

"There is one more thing I want to tell my sister-in-law, I'm afraid this jacquard fabric won't be eight or nine hundred dollars a horse in the future." You Shang thought about it and felt that this matter still had to be explained to Lin Zhiyun, "Sister-in-law Sichuan's jacquard cloth pattern is also unique in Fucheng, and the color matching is also good-looking, and those who know how to do it know that it is not easy to weave, and now the price has been fried to two taels of silver a horse." The owner of the grocery store told me that in the future, they would sell the jacquard cloth for two taels of silver and were willing to pay the price of 1,500 yuan per piece of cloth. ”

Lin Zhiyun thought to himself, this boss is also quite dark, and now he has made a net profit of five hundred Wen.

You Shang said again: "I think the owner of the grocery store is not wrong, this thing is rare in Fucheng, and Sister-in-law Sichuan can indeed raise the price appropriately." I know that my sister-in-law's cloth is mainly intended to be sold to the people of Pingtou, but the people in the city are much richer than those in our village and county, even if it is two taels of silver, they can grit their teeth and buy it. Besides, this jacquard is already difficult to weave, and my sister-in-law's cloth was originally divided into three price ranges, but now it can be distinguished more obviously. ”

"Oh? How do you think it can be more obvious? Lin Zhiyun was curious.

"This solid-color cloth continues to be sold at the previous price, which is slightly cheaper than ordinary solid-color cloth. The price of the dark pattern is the same as that of other dark lines, and it is set according to the highest price in the dark lines. After all, the dark pattern designed by Sister-in-law Sichuan is also unique, and the price is already high. As for the jacquard, the price is according to the grocery store owner. Sister-in-law can also control the amount, only ten horses per month, so that this business can continue for a long time, and sister-in-law does not have to feel that she owes anyone because of the price increase, you don't make much money! ”

Lin Zhiyun thought for a while, then nodded: "Then the price will be set according to this first." ”

According to the traveling merchant, even if she doesn't raise the price, the Fucheng side will raise the price on its own. So let others earn the difference, it is better for her to earn more.

Seeing that Lin Zhiyun was willing to raise the price, the traveling merchant was also very happy. After all, Lin Zhiyun's price has risen here, and he can also make more money. If Lin Zhiyun's business can continue for a long time, then he is also willing to follow Lin Zhiyun for a long time. After all, Lin Zhiyun's cloth is really good, and Shen Junchuan is also worthy of his trust.

After the traveling merchant left, Lin Zhiyun began to think about how to weave the cloth in the future. If she had to weave ten pieces of jacquard cloth every month, then she would have a limited amount of thread she could spin, and she would have to work more for He and Shen Junyao. Although He and Shen Junyao are willing to spin thread, they definitely prefer weaving to spinning, because they can get more money in this way.

Lin Zhiyun thought about it for a while, and felt that if he didn't find a few people to spin thread, or let Shen Junyao and He take a share in the future, so that he couldn't weave cloth and could make a lot of money.

However, it was not easy for her to make a decision on her own, so she told everyone about it after dinner.

Shen Junyao was a little regretful when she heard this: "Since the recipe for spinning the thread can't be leaked, then I'll continue to spin the thread." ”

Lin Zhiyun was a little embarrassed when she heard this, she knew that He and Shen Junyao were both easy to talk to, as long as she brought it up, they would definitely agree. But the more they did this, the more embarrassed she became.

It is true that family members can be sacrificed appropriately for the sake of their families. But this family can't always revolve around her, He and Shen Junyao are good to her, and she should be nice to them.

She knew in her heart that although Shen Junyao with dark patterns was already very skilled in weaving, Shen Junyao now wanted to learn from her about jacquard with complex patterns and rich colors.

"I know Jun Yao wants to continue learning to weave, mother......"

He smiled: "I can't do complicated things, for me I can spin and weave solid colored cloth." But now there are more weavers, but there are few spinning people, so it doesn't matter if I continue to spin. ”

Lin Zhiyun sighed: "I think so, how about teaching the illiterate ladies in the village if you spin yarn?" Let them earn a few pieces of money in their spare time. We can mix cotton with other materials ahead of time, as long as they can't see the other materials. ”

Shen Junyao also thought that this idea was good, but she was a little worried: "But what if you see the clues?" ”

Shen Junchuan thought for a while and said: "Just leave this matter to me, I will definitely be able to help you do it, just spin and weave with peace of mind in the next few days." ”

"Isn't Chuanzi still going to prepare for that county exam? Wouldn't it be too much of a waste of time to get this? He frowned.

In He's opinion, since Shen Junchuan is going to take the road of the imperial examination now, he should study hard, how can he study looms for a while, spinning machines for a while, and think about how to help them make cotton for a while? This should have been something that a woman should do, but he was a big man who studied it.

Shen Junchuan said with a smile: "The county test will be in February next year, don't worry, mother, it will definitely be in time." ”

Shen Junchuan has been studying in the school for several months, and he has almost consolidated the content that he needs to learn in the exam. But after all, he hasn't entered the examination room yet, and he's not sure if he can pass the show exam now, but it should be no problem to pass the children's exam.

Besides, he didn't think he had any problem researching this. After all, he is a member of the family, and everyone in the family is busy in order to make him live a good life, so he has to do his best, right? Anyway, studying this generally doesn't delay him much, and he can help his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so why not?

Shen Junchuan said that research would be studied, and that night he asked Lin Zhiyun to hand over the recipe to him and spin the thread to her. Their cloth costs less than the outside, but is more resilient because they don't just spin from cotton wool, they also incorporate other things. Usually they are mixed in little by little when spinning, so they dare not teach outsiders to spin threads, and if they want outsiders to find out, they have to mix those things into cotton without a trace.

"Can Xianggong really be studied? If it really doesn't work, we don't force it, anyway, the money we make is enough, and we don't need too much. Lin Zhiyun saw that Shen Junchuan hadn't slept well for a few days, and he was worried and blamed himself.

Shen Junchuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, since I have taken over this job, I will definitely be able to do things for you, you don't have to worry, just wait for more thread when the time comes." ”

It took Shen Junchuan more than half a month to make a cotton machine, and after finishing it, he went to improve it, and now he is using a spinning machine. After doing all this, he handed over the rest to Carpenter Zhang. After all, Carpenter Zhang's character is trustworthy, these things are all things he came up with, as long as he doesn't agree, Carpenter Zhang will not do it for others.

"But these previous spinning machines, as well as the current looms, there is nothing that people can't know, if someone spends a lot of money to ask Uncle Zhang to do it, Uncle Zhang will do it, and remember to divide me into two percent of the silver when the time comes." Shen Junchuan said with a smile, "It's good that the three women in the family are making money, and I can't get a penny back." ”

Carpenter Zhang smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry, can I sell the ideas you come up with without sharing your money?" But what's the mystery of this cotton machine, why can't it be known to outsiders? I see that this cotton machine you made is also very easy to use, if you have this thing, it will be much more convenient for everyone to make cotton, and cotton will not be as expensive as it is now. ”

To be honest, it was the first time Carpenter Zhang had seen a cotton machine. He had heard that cotton was not easy to make, and that many of it was stripped by country women or borrowed tools. Although he hadn't seen this made by Shen Junchuan yet, he always felt that it would be much more convenient than before.

Shen Junchuan said with a smile: "Neizi spinning has a unique recipe, and this cotton machine I made is used to match her recipe." But if it's just playing cotton, you can modify it like this. ”

Shen Junchuan said, drawing a new cotton machine, which is no different from the one he made for Lin Zhiyun on the outside, but there are some details on the inside.

"If someone wants a cotton machine, Uncle Zhang can do it according to this drawing, and this can be sold to others." Shen Junchuan said with a smile.

Carpenter Zhang hurriedly put away the drawing as if he had found a treasure. As for Lin Zhiyun's previous cotton machine, he didn't ask again, after all, when it comes to other people's secret recipes, he is still measured.
