Chapter 78: Rare is Expensive

This is made of wool felt, so naturally there will be no thread and stitches, but she won't tell anyone about this kind of thing, and this time when she goes back, she will make new products.

And this time, she is definitely not afraid of other people's imitation and plagiarism, because making wool felt dolls requires technology, and even if it is a raw material, it is enough for others to guess for a while.

"By the way, Shopkeeper Li, look at this ......" Tong Xiaowu took a cloth bag, took out a beckoning cat puppet from it, and handed it to him.

The head of this doll is made of fabric, and the ingots in the arms and ears are made of wool felt.

Shopkeeper Li couldn't put down the gift box and reached out to pick up the cat, "What is this?" ”

"This kind of cat is called the beckoning cat, I heard that it likes gold and silver jewelry very much, it is the mascot of fortune, I think the Journey to the West doll is because everyone is familiar with Journey to the West, it is accepted by everyone, it is purely entertainment, and this beckoning cat is different, the New Year's holiday, giving people gifts, this beckoning cat can be used as a gift, beckoning fortune to settle down, this is a good omen, very auspicious."

Shopkeeper Li looked at the two kinds of dolls in his hand and asked, "How much is this beckoning cat?" ”

"Sixty wen."

"What about this? What about this gift box doll? "This gift box is very memorable.

"I haven't thought about this yet, this is labor-intensive and laborious, I never thought about mass production, after all, only I can do it at the moment." This sentence is true, Journey to the West dolls are difficult to make, and she alone can't do large-scale production, and even if she can do it, it will take time to train workers.

"In this way, this beckoning cat, I will order five hundred with you, and as for this gift box, if you give me a price, I also want to set some."

Tong Xiaowu laughed, and she said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper Li, how much do you think the price of my gift box for the Journey to the West four-person group is appropriate?" ”

Before, the price she negotiated with Feng Yuchen at home was one tael of silver, but now she felt that this price was wrong, because in the eager eyes of Shopkeeper Li, she felt that he should be able to offer a price higher than one tael.

"It's not a secret, whether it's in the capital or in this county, this thing is suitable for gifts, and it's best to give it to the young ladies and sons of those official families, we merchants want to get closer to them, and we can also go up in the shopping mall in the future.

The price of this doll is only a few dozen yuan, and I really can't get it, but this gift box is very eye-catching, and it is particularly delicate and high-end, I think those young ladies have never seen it, and I will definitely like it very much, so if you want to sell it, I advise you not to do more, but at least fifty taels each......"

Although Shopkeeper Li has no deep friendship with Tong Xiaowu, he has already decided to give this gift box to the little son of the county master's family, if this thing is listed in batches in the future, the price is too cheap, but it will slap him in the face.

He also said this from the standpoint of his own interests.

"Fifty taels?"

Tong Xiaowu never thought that a thing worth less than one tael of silver could be bought for fifty taels.

"This, this...... It's a bit too much, right? She looked at Feng Yuchen uneasily, he frowned slightly and did not speak.

Shopkeeper Li laughed, reached out and picked up the silk on the counter:

"Have you seen this silk? To tell the truth, in the hands of the peasant women who signed the agreement, the salary of each batch of silk yarn is three taels of silver, and the cost of a horse of silk yarn is ten taels of silver. ”

Tong Xiaowu touched the soft silk yarn, I didn't expect this thing to be so profitable?

"Do you know why it's so expensive?"

She didn't speak, as if she understood the meaning of Shopkeeper Li's words.

"Because of its scarcity, it takes three or four months for farmers to weave a piece of silk yarn, and the handiwork is so delicate that a slight carelessness will ruin the quality of a batch of silk yarn.

Moreover, some farmers are afraid of compensation, and would rather make coarse cloth than take this kind of work, so the quantity of this kind of silk yarn is even more scarce, which has created the current price of silk yarn. ”

Tong Xiaowu nodded, this is rare is expensive, although the cost of wool felt dolls is very low, but it is complex in workmanship, it takes a long time, and there is no such thing in this world, and it cannot be imitated, so it is worth the price.

"I understand, fifty taels of silver, thank you Shopkeeper Li! Tonight, I invited the shopkeepers to dinner in Antai Building, and Shopkeeper Li must come. Tong Xiaowu saw that the time was not early, and saluted him.

"Shopkeeper Tong, there is one thing I have to tell you, about taxes, if the tax official comes to the door, you must pay the tax, otherwise, things will be troublesome, some people ......" The next words, Shopkeeper Li did not say much, and the bitterness of it can only be understood by those who have experienced competition.

Tong Xiaowu nodded to express her gratitude, she didn't expect this shopkeeper Li to be so sincere and a good partner worth dating.

She glanced back at Feng Yuchen: "Xianggong, can you bring the account book?" ”

"Bring it, okay, let's go to the county yamen now!"

After saying goodbye to Shopkeeper Li, Tong Xiaowu walked out of Qingfeng Buzhuang and walked in the direction of the county yamen.

And after she got out of the cloth village, she saw Feng Dafu from Fengrui cloth village on the other side of the street secretly looking at this side, this bastard was actually observing her whereabouts.

When Feng Dafu saw this scene, he was so frightened that his heart rose to his throat, he looked back at Feng Yushan who was following him, and said strangely: "She no longer has our order, and we have also given three times the compensation, what is she going to do?" ”

The county yamen is not far away, after crossing this street, passing by a large venue, you will arrive.

As soon as Tong Xiaowu and the others entered the yamen, Feng Dafu and his son Feng Yushan secretly appeared on the corner of the street, observing this side, regretting it fearfully, you must know that she refused to give up, and he would not shake his face with her at that time.

The so-called small unbearable will make a big plan, but looking at this, it seems that Tong Xiaowu has another situation? Because he found that she did not beat the drum, and if she sued, she would have to beat the drum.

"Dad, do you think she is related to the county master? She is a rural woman, she is not afraid of us at all, and she has to come to sue in the morning, I think she may have a backer to dare to do this. Feng Yushan told Feng Dafu about his analysis.

Hearing this, Feng Dafu thought about it and felt that it made sense:

"We used to have a lot of dealings with the county lord, but what's the use? Something happened to our family, and he didn't just say that he would investigate, and he didn't show affection at all, hey! If you want to have a relationship with the official family, money doesn't work at all, and what is useful is pro.

In the past, the children of our businessmen could not get fame, but it was not until the current saint ascended the throne that the system was changed. ”
