When Holley distributed the 300 cotton clothes brought by Xiaoman to the stores it cooperated with and was ready to sell them, he found that the Canglan people were not interested in this at all, and would rather spend a higher price to buy ordinary style clothes than buy the cotton clothes brought by Xiaoman.

These cotton clothes are divided into 100 pieces and 50 pieces of different styles of women's and 150 pieces of the same style of men's models, according to the reason so many choices, there should be someone interested, and the price of these cotton clothes and the price of clothes made of animal skins is about the same, everyone just look at the fabric and feel, should also be able to feel that these cotton clothes are more worth the money.

But the strange thing is that no one buys it at all, and few people even ask.

Seeing this, Holley had no choice but to lower the price, but the adjustable price still did not bring any change, but more people asked about the price, but none of them were sold.

The shopkeepers of several shops couldn't help but be disappointed when they saw this, so they took all the cotton clothes off the shelves and threw them in the warehouse without taking care of them.

After saying this, Hua Li sighed helplessly, sullen, "County Lord, it's not that I haven't thought of a way and don't care, it's really no one to buy it at all!" These more than 300 cotton clothes are still in the warehouse, and not a single one is missing. I really can't help it, so I can only come to you for help. ”

"None of them really sold?" After hearing this, Xiaoman was even more puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "Is the price set too high, or is it too low?" After so many days, isn't there really anyone asking? ”

It's also strange, put it in Shangjing, these 300 cotton clothes can be sold out in less than five days, why is it not popular in Canglan? This is strange.

Hua Li shook his head, with a bitter and bitter look on his face, "None of them have been sold." County Lord, I didn't lie to you, if you don't believe it, you can go to the city and have a look. There are a total of 10 stores in this Bei'an city that I have cooperated with, and the ten stores are very evenly distributed in different areas, and the audience is different, but surprisingly, it is true that none of them have been sold since the arrival of the goods. ”

Xiao Man frowned when he heard this, "From me to Canglan to now, at least nearly a month has passed, right?" Holley, why didn't you say this earlier? ”

"I... I didn't expect to sell a single one! Huali was also very aggrieved, I wanted to make a lot of money through this matter, but I didn't expect that the things in the rest of the shops in Shangjing were all sold out, and only the cotton clothes in the most popular Manrou Garment Workshop in Shangjing became unsalable goods here.

"I'd like to see it for myself while it's still early, okay?" Xiao Man got up and made a decision immediately.

Hua Li hesitated for a moment, then nodded heartily, "Okay, then I'll take you to the nearest shop to the county lord's mansion first, the boss there has the best relationship with me, and the warehouse is also the closest to their store, so you can take a look at those goods." ”

Saying that, Xiao Man didn't bother to take the carriage, and walked directly to the shop with Huali.

Speaking of which, Xiao Man also has some impressions of the ready-to-wear shop, when he and Lu Li and others just arrived in Bei'an, Wangshu also pointed out this store to her. Although it was only a quick glance at the time, Xiaoman still remembered his impression of the store at that time.

The style of the clothes is old, the style is mediocre, and even the color of the clothes is dark colors such as black and gray, which looks very dull.

It's just that I didn't expect that the owner of this shop was familiar with Huali, and the cotton clothes in his store were actually sold in this store.

Just as he was thinking about it, the owner of the shop came out to say hello, "I've seen the county lord and Lord Huali." ”

"Lao Qin, I don't have time to talk nonsense, I'm here today for those cotton clothes." Huali got straight to the point and said heartily.

Xiao Man stood beside him, with a faint smile on his lips, observing the shopkeeper's reaction.

I saw that the old man with a good face who was still smiling just now immediately pulled down his face after hearing the word cotton clothes, and his body straightened, and he said very unhappily: "Huali, this matter is not discussed!" Those cotton clothes can't be sold at all! I'm never going to sell them in my store again! You're going to die of this heart! ”

The tone of refusal was very resolute, and the shopkeeper's appearance was not negotiable at all, which made Xiaoman a little surprised, and Huali on the side was even more embarrassed.

He touched his nose, leaned forward and whispered: "Old Qin, these cotton clothes are all made by the county lord's shop, you should pay attention to what you say." What's more, we're not here to investigate this matter, we just want to go and see those cotton clothes, okay? ”

As soon as he heard this, Lao Qin's face looked better, and he didn't know if it was because he was afraid of Xiaoman's identity, or because he knew the true purpose of Huali's coming.

"In that case, then come with me, and I'll take you to the warehouse." As he spoke, Lao Qin coughed lightly a few times and stepped forward to lead the way. As he led a few people to the back of the shop, he said, "County Lord, don't blame me for being straightforward, since I have seen you in person today, there are a few words I must tell you in person." ”

But as soon as the words fell, before Xiao Man could speak, Na Huali said: "Old Qin, pay more attention to what you say, this is the county lord of the king's own title, and the county lord was invited by the king to help, you-"

"Holley, you're bored like this." Xiao Man interrupted with some dissatisfaction and said: "We are here today to solve the problem, even if it is the hundreds of cotton clothes I provided, I should naturally be responsible for the problem, and at this time, I should not use my identity as an excuse for prevarication." ”

"The county lord is right!" Lao Qin echoed, his tone was obviously much soothed than just now: "I also know that the situation in Canglan and Donglan is different, the county lord's shop is popular in Shangjing, so when you go to Bei'an, it may not be the same as before!" ”

Seeing that both of them said this, Hua Li didn't stick to this matter, "Okay, since you all say so, then we will have something to say later, and we will definitely not hide it!" ”

Xiao Man and Lao Qin responded in unison: "That's nature!" ”

After speaking, the two couldn't help but smile at each other.

As they spoke, the group also left the backyard of the store and came to a narrow alley. There are dozens of black gates everywhere in this alley, and each black gate is locked with a large lock that is extremely strong, and you can tell at a glance that it contains something extremely important.

Xiao Man thought to himself, this should be the warehouse of Lao Qin's shop.

I saw Lao Qin take out the key from his arms, shake it off, find the key to the black door in front of him, and then quickly open it, push open the door and walk in, and introduced: "This is the warehouse in my store, and the cotton clothes provided by the county lord are placed in the innermost, and I will take them out now." ”

Xiao Man and his party waited at the door, watching Lao Qin trot to the corner of the warehouse, and then ran out in three steps and two steps, opening the big cloth bag in his hand, revealing the cotton clothes that were familiar with the fabric and color inside.

"Well, this is the cotton clothes that the county lord brought, all of them are here." Lao Qin squatted down, took out the clothes inside one by one, and said, "These are all displayed in the store before, but they always can't be sold later, so I can only ask the guy to put them back again." ”

Xiao Man squatted down, pursed her lips and didn't speak, she opened the cotton clothes one by one, from the neckline, cuffs, to the pattern on the front of the placket, etc., she looked at it all again, and only after making sure that there was no problem did she stand up again.

When he and Lu Li and others set off from Donglan, it was the end of the year, when Shangjing was about to celebrate the New Year, and there were many people who bought clothes, and these clothes were sold when the Manrou Ready-to-wear Workshop was preparing for the New Year, so whether it was style, pattern or fabric, all were the latest models of design.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for a mere 300 pieces of clothing to be unsalable.

"County Lord, what do you see?" Hua Li asked curiously, and Lao Qin's eyes also fell on Xiao Man, waiting for her to tell her what the problem was.

But in such an expectant gaze, Xiao Man just shook his head and said, "I don't see any problems at the moment, but the shopkeeper, can I bring these clothes back first?" Is it okay to wait until I see the crux of the problem and then return it? ”

Lao Qin said with a smile when he heard this: "To be honest, even if the county lord doesn't return it, I, Lao Qin, don't mind." ”

This is too straightforward, how can Xiaoman not understand what the other party means? Lao Qin probably thought that this dress couldn't be sold anyway, and it didn't mean anything to him if he didn't return the clothes, it was just a few things in the warehouse.

Xiao Man smiled embarrassedly when he heard this, and ordered the person behind him to carry the cloth bag away, and then said: "Lao Qin, I still have some things I want to ask you, I don't know if you can spare some time to ......"

"Let's go to the backyard, just ask, Lao Qin will definitely know everything." Lao Qin bowed slightly, very refreshing.

The group returned to the backyard, Xiao Man ordered the people to bring the cloth bag back to the county lord's mansion first, while she and Pearl stayed behind to discuss the unwritten rules and well-known truths in the ready-to-wear workshop in Bei'an City with Lao Qin and Hua Li.

Xiao Man knew very well in his heart that there was no quality problem with these clothes, but if no one bought them in the store for so long, they would definitely not be accepted by the people who were used to wearing animal skin clothes. What she has to do now is to find out the demands and conditions of these people, so that she can make corrections in time and sell these cotton clothes as soon as possible.

"Don't hide it from the county lord, I think the clothes you sent are very good-looking, and they are soft to the touch, and they are indeed better than the animal skin clothes that our shop often sells." Lao Qin didn't hide it either, sat down and began to express his opinion: "But what, these clothes are so soft, can they really keep warm?" ”

"It's the warmest months of the year, and it's okay to wear it, but what about a little while? When the snow falls and the weather freezes, can this garment be warmer than the animal skin? ”
