Chapter 30: Poverty is real
Ye Xiaoman's heart was already happy, but he only said lightly: "Sister Li, don't worry, there is something I want to ask you for help." ”
"Tell me about it."
"I want to ask where Sister Li's cloth was collected."
Widow Li's dyeing workshop is not big, she has not hired Bulang, and she has not been seen collecting cloth in the village, so she must have her own cloth source.
"I can't tell you that." Widow Li directly refused.
Ye Xiaoman was disappointed, and Widow Li said again: "But I can sell the original cloth to you cheaper." ”
"What price does Sister Li want?"
"I'm only talking about the sale, linen cloth is 18 wen 1 zhang, cotton cloth is 45 wen 1 zhang, how?"
Ye Xiaoman calculated for a while, it was more cost-effective than collecting the cloth himself, and immediately nodded and said, "Then I will ask for a fifty-zhang cotton cloth first, and please ask Sister Li to send it with the cloth to be dyed in a while." ”
"Done." Widow Li is a shrewd person: "The money for the cloth will be deducted directly from the money for dyeing the cloth, and you will also erase the change for me, and I will pay you twenty-seven taels later." ”
A mouth is about to wipe a fraction of fifty Wen, Ye Xiaoman is not a vegetarian, and said with a smile: "Okay, yes, but business, it's good to have contacts and dealings, and my sister will also spare me a little more cloth, isn't it beautiful." ”
Widow Li nodded reluctantly, and suddenly asked, "Xiaoman is only dyed with the color of a concubine?" ”
Obedient and obedient, Ye Xiaoman guessed what she meant, and replied thoughtfully: "Of course not, it's just that I rely on my own exploration of dyeing cloth, and I can't compare to Sister Li's ability, I can afford to open a dyeing workshop, and I do a big business." If it weren't for the fact that Master Lu was willing to buy it, I wouldn't dare to try the Xiangfei color. The place at home is small, and the dyeing cloth in the future must be based on the color of the concubine, and the other colors will be dyed by the way. ”
What Ye Xiaoman meant in his words was that her business was small and could not threaten Widow Li's dyeing workshop.
Widow Li understood, and a smile appeared on her face: "What a pity Xiaoman's talent, do you want to come to my dyeing workshop, I will give you a big shopkeeper to do." ”
Ye Xiaoman is not uncommon, she said that before, in fact, to lower Widow Li's vigilance.
She will definitely have her own big dyeing shop in the future.
Sister Li said with a smile, how old am I, how can I afford it. And you know I'm not in good health, so I can't go out to work. ”
Widow Li remembered that Ye Xiaoman had been in a coma for a month in the village, and then looked at Qi Shan, who was vigilantly guarding Xiaoman's side.
"So your father and mother really married you five husbands?"
Ye Xiaoman saw that her face was full of teasing, and nodded helplessly.
"Then you are blessed." Widow Li teased.
"Don't dare to be blessed, poverty is real."
Widow Li didn't know what she thought, and said with a lonely voice: "It's better to be together than unrequited love." ”
"Sister Li has a sweetheart?"
"No, no, I'll go back and get the cloth first." Widow Li looked flustered and hurried away.
Ye Xiaoman turned to Qi Shan and said with certainty: "She has a sweetheart." "And probably someone she knows.
Qi Shan asked ignorantly: "Xiaoman, what is a sweetheart?" ”
"Just keep it in your heart and think about it day and night."
Qi Shan was distressed: "I've been thinking about braised pork in my heart, so isn't my sweetheart braised pork?" ”
Ye Xiaoman smiled and said, "We made money today, is it okay to eat braised pork at night?" ”
Qi Shan jumped up and said okay, Ye Xiaoman looked at his happy appearance, and couldn't help but think of his brother Qi Ye.
The Su family's private school costs two taels of silver a month, which is much cheaper than the Xiangfei-colored cloth, and discussed with his father and mother at night, and asked Qi Ye and them to go to the private school.
As for herself, she had already read it once in her dream, so she didn't want to read it a second time!
