Chapter 39: Dye Crops

After she finished speaking, seeing that Yun Niang still wanted to say more, she arched her hand and said to you: "My good sister, just spare me, don't make noise in front of me, how many times have I told you?" If you don't have diamonds, you don't do porcelain work, do you still think I'm a whim today? Look, it won't take a month for me to dye you a piece of good satin to make sachets and embroidered shoes, and now you can help me dry these weeds. ”

Yun Niang heard her say this, and she had no choice but to agree, the two of them worked quickly, and after a while, the dyed grass was spread all over the windowsill and the open space in front of the house.

After many inquiries, I finally learned from the Li family that a hundred miles southeast of Xiaowang Village, there was a family that specialized in cultivating dye crops such as safflower and blue grass. When Ruan Yunsi learned the news, she hired an ox cart and walked for two days to get there, and sure enough, in modern terms, it was a large planting base with many dye plants planted in it.

When Ruan Yunsi arrived, she saw that the business of the master's family was still very prosperous, and the flow of people in the two-entry house was endless. She hesitated, but thinking that everything was difficult at the beginning, and this time she said that she would bring the dye crop back, so she stubbornly walked to the door.

The housekeeper who was guarding the door had already seen this woman who was hesitating on the ox cart, but now when he saw her coming, he stretched out his hand to stop her, looked up and down a few times, and frowned: "Who are you looking for, this woman?" This is the yard we bought only for business, if you want to find relatives, you should go to the Yan Mansion in the city. ”

Ruan Yunsi said in a deep voice: "I'm not looking for anyone, I'm here to buy safflower and blue grass perilla." After speaking, the eyes of the doorkeeper widened out in an instant, she sighed in her heart, but said quietly: "What? Do you have a rule here that these things are not sold to women? ”

"Pour ...... There is no such rule, but ......, "That family wants to say, how can a woman come out to talk about business?" But before he finished speaking, he heard Ruan Yunsi laugh and said, "Isn't this over?" It's just doing business, and it's not because I'm a woman that I will rely on your money, is it true that when business comes to the door, you still have a reason to push it out? ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a voice behind me laugh and said: "This eldest sister is right, Qin San, we are open for business, as long as we give money, we will sell things, and don't care so much about the rest." ”

Ruan Yunsi looked back and saw a handsome young man walking leisurely, and a gorgeous carriage was parked not far away, and the ox cart she hired was getting more and more shabby. She didn't know who this person was, but she saw that the housekeeper guarding the door hurriedly stepped forward, and said with a smile: "The third young master is here?" The old man and the eldest young master were still thinking about you just now, saying that they were so busy today, and they didn't know when you would be able to help. ”

The third young master smiled and said, "Isn't this coming?" After speaking, he looked at Ruan Yunsi again, and said with a smile: "It turns out that she is a little younger than me, why did the girl come here alone?" Even if you want these things, you should send the men in the family to talk, you have a daughter's family, it's inconvenient not to talk about it, and it's not safe on the road. ”

Ruan Yunsi smiled and said: "Thank you Gongzi for your concern, I am alone and have nothing to worry about, so I naturally have to do everything myself." As soon as she said this, the third young master also understood, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, such a young girl, who should have been a quiet husband and godson at home, is now a widow, and she has to come out on her own in order to make a living. Because of sympathy, he pointed to the courtyard and said, "Girl, please come in, I'm afraid that my father and brother are entertaining other guests at this time, and you can talk to me about how many things you need." ”

Ruan Yunsi followed the third young master in, and listened to him introduce himself, only to know that his surname was Yan Mingzhen Shaoqing, and he was the third son of the Yan family, and he was also in charge of the family's dye business on weekdays. She couldn't help but stick out her tongue in her heart, thinking to herself Yan Zhenyan Shaoqing, your father really knows how to name it, if you put together the name and words, you will become a great calligrapher Yan Zhenqing.

While thinking aimlessly, he had already arrived in the back room, Yan Zhenming ordered the maid to serve tea, because to avoid suspicion, he let the maid wait on the side, he asked Ruan Yunsi about the crops he wanted to buy, only to feel that although there were many types, the quantity was not very large, and it was not a big deal. However, the Yan family has never been snobbish in business, and guests are treated equally, this is an ancestral motto, and the Yan family has always adhered to it, so they didn't feel disappointed at this time, calculated the price, bargained with Ruan Yunsi, and the deal was closed.

The two walked out of the house, and Yan Zhen was curious: "Girl, I want a lot of dye crops, but the amount of each one is really not much, but I don't know what you do with it?" Could it be that the family has a small shop and wants to get some dyes to sell? Don't blame me for being too talkative, there are special shops for dyes and things, and they are not as easy to sell as other things, if the girl has this idea, I advise you to take it early, so as not to lose money. ”

Ruan Yunsi knew that the third young master was kind, so she smiled and said: "Childe misunderstood, I just have a few squares in my hand, and after weaving the cloth myself, I want to dye it, and I don't want to make a big deal, I just sell it to the neighbors and make a few dollars to live." This is naturally insincere, according to Ruan Yunsi's idea, business must be big, and she can be said to be ambitious at this time. But these words are indeed true, with her current ability, it can indeed only be a small fight.

Yan Zhen suddenly realized, smiled and nodded: "This is not bad, it is not easy for countrymen to enter the city, if you can dye the cloth, they are naturally willing to go to you to buy it nearby." As he spoke, he handed the recipe in his hand to a small servant who came up, and said lightly: "Tell Niu Lu and them to load the crops on the ox cart for this girl." After speaking, he turned to Ruan Yunsi and said, "Girl, please come with me too, the account room is here." ”

So Ruan Yunsi went to pay the money, these dye plants are not very expensive, she bought a total of thirteen kinds of crops, adding up to a few hundred catties, but it only costs ten yuan. It's only a little more expensive than growing grain for farmers. It's just such a low-profit business, how can you still build a two-entry yard here to do business?

Yan Zhen saw her look up at the house behind her with some confusion, he was a smart person, just a little thought, he knew what Ruan Yunsi was puzzled about, because he unfolded the folding fan and smiled: "It's not surprising, the radius is nearly a thousand miles, only our family grows these, although it is a small profit, but it is also oversold, not to mention that our family has some other business, so it is okay." ”

I bought a book on textile printing and dyeing and read it, and I couldn't understand it in many places, but I knew that there were indeed a lot of things in my article that were nonsense, and I once again reminded the party to be cautious, OTZ, I can only comfort myself with "it is an auxiliary skill to promote the development of the plot", and the cow is full of faces!!
