Chapter 56: Partnering

Chaolu finally knocked on the door of the Su family.

She thought about it for a long time, when she went to see the source of goods before, there was a dyeing workshop, the scale was very large, the cloth was also of good quality and quantity, and the price was fair, it can be seen that the owner is a good one, and then she inquired, or an acquaintance opened it!

The descendants of the Su family still remembered her, and when they saw Chaolu, they ran to spread the word.

Su Sanniang was very happy to learn that Chaolu came to her, and quipped: "It turned out that our Chaolu shopkeeper was here, no wonder the magpies on the branches kept calling this morning!" ”

"Sister Su, don't make fun of me." Chaolu blushed, how could the more she became acquainted with this Su Sanniang, the more she couldn't catch what she said?

"After the opening, I sent a maid to see you, but I didn't bother when I saw that your shop was busy with business."

After all, it's a new store, and it's inevitable to be bullied without a little background, she likes this girl, and she doesn't mind sending a few favors.

"The business of the cloth village is good, isn't it our little shopkeeper who has a good business?" Su Sanniang took Chao Lu and sat down, "Say, what did you come to me for this time?" ”

Seeing her get down to business, Chaolu breathed a sigh of relief, took out two handkerchiefs from his arms, and handed one of them to Su Sanniang, "Sister Su, take a look." ”

Su Sanniang didn't know what medicine was being sold in this girl's gourd, so she took the handkerchief she handed over for some reason, and took a closer look, "This is the red cloth from my Su family's dyeing workshop?" ”

Chaolu nodded, and handed her another handkerchief, "Sister take a look at this again." ”

She had dyed the veil herself.

"This color!" Su Sanniang's eyes lit up, put it under the tip of her nose and sniffed it, instead of smelling, there was a pleasant sweet fragrance, and she put the two handkerchiefs together and compared them, "Why is the color of this handkerchief more bright?" ”

She always thought that the red cloth produced by her Su family was the best color in terms of ensuring quality.

If it can be compared to the Su family, then ...... That's just ......

Su Sanniang is not a person who has never seen the world, she also knows that there is a kind of red silk with a very high price in the capital, but because of this, it is only circulated in the class of those nobles who are stupid and have a lot of money, and ordinary people can't afford it, and they are not willing to spend so much money to buy it.

Chaolu had already foreseen her reaction and smiled calmly, "That's why I'm looking for you today, I want to talk to you about a business." ”

Chaolu had reservations, and simply explained that she found a plant that could dye bright cloth by chance, and there were no side effects, but she was suffering from no skills, so she came to seek cooperation.

Su Sanniang is a wonderful person with Zhong Lingyuxiu, although she loves Chaolu, it doesn't mean that she fully believes every word she says, business matters need to be cautious, everything must be tested before the results can be finalized, and finally lead Chaolu to the Sujia dyeing workshop.

Li Yan saw that Chao was exposed, so he stepped forward to look for someone, only to find that she was still followed by a young woman.

Su Sanniang was in a trance, and was suddenly frightened by his appearance, and found that she was out of shape, and said with some embarrassment: "This, this is your buddy!" ”

"Sister, don't be afraid, he just looks bluffing, and he is still very honest." Chaolu comforted Su Sanniang, and then instructed Li Yan, "Gu Yan, pack the things you brought, let's go to the Su family dyeing workshop." ”

Li Yan lowered his head and said yes, and he was not unhappy to be offended, it was normal to react like Su Sanniang when he saw him like this, as for Chaolu, she could only say that she was very strong.

The cloth drying racks in the Sujia dyeing workshop are arranged in an orderly manner in the open space, which is full of freshly dyed silk cloth, and the workers shuttle back and forth, all of which are a busy scene.

"The weather has been fine these days, and the dye shop is busy." Su Sanniang smiled and said to Chaolu, "If you are interested, you can also take a look around." ”

Chaolu said: "Let's talk about business first." ”

Su Sanniang was laughed at by Chaolu's serious appearance, and her thin white and round fingers gently poked Chaolu's forehead, "Look, look, I don't know, I think you're older than me!" ”

Chaolu covered her head, thinking that she was already older than her!

"Look." Su Sanniang pointed out the group of workers who were busy in the dyeing pond to Chaolu, and led her to go, "This cloth, from silkworm raising, silk reeling, silk weaving, hemp planting, picking arrowroot, weaving silk, to the last step is dyeing, every step is not sloppy." ”

"Since you're going to offer a new dye, I'll tell you about the current red dye." Su Sanniang took her to a pool of red dyeing liquid, and the two workers on the side added something to it, and the other took a stick and stirred it hard.

"Nowadays, when dyeing red silk, it is generally colored with grass safflower. However, before using grass safflower, it is necessary to wash out the yellow pigment inside through many cleanings, which is a test and skill. If you wash too much, the dyed cloth will not be bright enough, and if you wash less, the color of the dyed cloth will not be pure enough, which is really a headache. After Su Sanniang finished speaking, she frowned and shook her head at Chaolu, causing Chaolu to cry and laugh.

Su Sanniang asked for a little grass saffron from the hands of the workers on the side for Chaolu to see, "We usually buy this kind of dye from the master now, and the cost is also high, so the price of red cloth or red silk sold will be high." ”

Chaolu twisted the grass saffron in her hand, which was almost broken in one twist, and she slapped some water in the palm of her hand, and her palm was immediately bright red.

The effect of this grass safflower is really good, but compared to the color of the handkerchief that Chaolu showed Su Sanniang, the color is a little duller.

Commodities are all excellence, and the slightest mistake is lost, so many people are willing to break through on it, even if it is just a little difference, it is also a sell.

Su Sanniang said again: "Although it is not that there are no other dyes, either the effect is not as good as that of grass safflower, or the dyed cloth is attached to the smell, which makes people unhappy." My Su family dyeing workshop never makes the kind of shoddy goods, what I want to do is to do the best. ”

Chaolu recognized Su Sanniang's words very much, and he was indeed a fellow practitioner.

Su Sanniang summoned the master who prepared the dye liquid in the dyeing workshop and said to Chaolu: "You give him the dye you brought, and we will go through the procedure and inspect the goods first." ”

Chaolu asked Li Yan to hand over the things to the master, "You don't need to deal with it superfluously, just crush it." ”

"From liquid, dyeing, color testing, tailoring, dressing, and trying on, this is a necessary test for new dyes, which is a guarantee, no matter which link goes wrong, you can't ask for it, this is what I must tell you in advance as the owner of the Su family."

Chaolu expressed her understanding, and she also had reservations about Su Sanniang.

"It may take a lot of time, so be patient. But I'll send someone to inform you every step of the way! ”

"Yes, but I also have to say it beforehand. I'm not buying dyes, I'm investing. ”

Su Sanniang raised her eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.

Chaolu endured the pain and let out a long breath, "First, the first batch of dyed cloth must be all mine, and the second batch must be dyed every two months." Second, in the future, I will account for forty percent of the profits from the sale of the cloth dyed by the Su family dyeing workshop with this dye. ”

Others dig her meat, she naturally refuses, if the object is Su Sanniang, she is still willing to make a profit, after all, it is a person who has helped her since she sold leek cakes, and she is grateful.
