Chapter 49: Buying Cloth
Chai Shuiqing stood in front of the counter, and his stature was only a little taller than the counter.
She looked up and saw at a glance the right cotton.
The counter in front of him was covered with cheesecloth, and there was also linen. It seems that there are many people who buy these two kinds of fabrics!
Chai Shuiqing thought of the price he had inquired about, pointed to a pale cyan cheesecloth and asked, "Shopkeeper, how do you sell this kind of material?" ”
At the beginning, the busy shopkeeper heard the sound, and there was some surprise.
He glanced up at Chai Shuiqing in surprise, and saw that she looked serious, not a child's joke, so he put down the work in his hand and walked over.
"Does the girl want this color?"
Questioning, the shopkeeper guessed that the girl was afraid that she had come to buy it for her family.
Otherwise, the average girl would have chosen the indigo or grey material on his counter. After all, this girl doesn't look like a rich person.
Chai Shuiqing nodded when he heard this: "That's it!" ”
The shopkeeper glanced at the cheesecloth that Chai Shuiqing wanted, and he did not look down on or disgusted in his eyes, but introduced it very seriously: "Girl, this is a coarse cotton material, twenty-six wen and one foot!" ”
As he spoke, he was afraid that Chai Shuiqing would be too expensive, so he pointed to the one next to him again.
"This gray and black coarse cotton material is twenty cents and one foot! Girl, don't look dark, but dirt-resistant and wear-resistant, top top suitable. ”
The shopkeeper's patient introduction made Chai Shuiqing have a good impression of his shop.
It is said that there is no business and no treachery, but I didn't expect this shopkeeper to be quite good at it, and I estimated that she couldn't afford to buy good materials, so I patiently introduced some suitable ones.
Chai Shuiqing didn't speak, but touched it.
The shopkeeper did not stop him, nor did he have the kind of scolding and disgust in other shops, but instead brought out a few horses of other colors from under the counter.
"If the girl doesn't like that, she can look at this."
Saying that, for fear that Chai Shuiqing would misunderstand, the shopkeeper explained: "These horses are good, but they are dyed unevenly, and they are a bit of a waste of good materials." ”
Chai Shuiqing could see at a glance that it was all muslin.
Not to mention anything else, the price of muslin is not low, even if it is dyed unevenly, I am afraid that it will not be sold at a low price.
However, Chai Shuiqing fell in love with a few colors.
"And how do you sell these?"
She now has money in her hand, and she can buy some and keep it as she preserves.
Moreover, the material of this noodle may be recycled or recorded by the system or something, and she can't lose it.
Thinking like this, Chai Shuiqing looked at it more seriously.
The shopkeeper did not urge her, but began to introduce the prices of the horses one by one.
The color is darker, and the price is much cheaper because the uneven dyeing is very obvious. On average, it is about 32 wen a foot, which is only a few cents more expensive than cheesecloth.
Those that are lighter in color, even if they are dyed unevenly, cannot be seen if you don't look closely. It's just that some people want to buy good ones, so naturally they won't choose this.
Weighing one or two, Chai Shuiqing pointed to a light gray horse and a cyan one, both of which are the two horses with the most dyeing problems.
When the shopkeeper saw that she had chosen these two, he thought that she did not have enough money, so he asked, "I wonder how many feet the girl wants?" ”
Ordinary people buy a few feet and a few feet, and if they make ready-to-wear clothes, they won't need too much.
Chai Shuiqing knew that the cloth here was not wide, and one horse was only a dozen meters down, so he didn't plan to cut it.
"Both of them."
If you buy a horse, the price can also be suppressed.
Chai Shuiqing's mind turned, and he said in the shopkeeper's surprised gaze: "Shopkeeper, I want more, is it cheaper?" ”
"How about thirty cents and one foot?"
In this way, the price of two pieces of fabric is 2,200 yuan.
