Chapter 35: Buying Cotton
When Liu Yiyu's sisters and brothers came to the Splendid Cloth Shop, the business of the Splendid Cloth Store was still hot, and the guys in the Cloth Store were busy with their feet on the ground, and even the shopkeeper Huang was busy collecting money at the counter.
"Sister Yiyu, why don't you call your sister-in-law when you come, but I've been waiting for a long time." At this time, the shopkeeper Huang was busy, and after collecting the last customer's money, the shopkeeper Huang rubbed his sour neck, looked up, and saw that it was Liu Yiyu's sister and brother, smiled and walked into Liu Yiyu's front road.
"We just came, doing business is a big deal, our sisters and brothers just wait." Liu Yiyu said.
"Isn't this thanks to the new flower-like embroidery sent by Yiyu, the embroidery is lovely and joyful, but isn't it, with the east wind of Yiyu's embroidery, my splendid cloth shop has driven the business of other finished clothes and fabrics? This month, the business is nearly forty percent better than in previous months? ”。
"When the shopkeeper Huang said this, it seems that Yiyu only sold a hundred copper plates to the new flower-like style of the Splendid Cloth Shop, wouldn't it be a disadvantage. This can't be done, the price of Yiyu's fresh style has to go up? ”。 Liu Yiyu seemed to be like him, holding his heart and liver with one hand, and jokingly said to the shopkeeper Huang with some distress.
"The idea of raising prices, Sister-in-law Huang had already thought about it last month, but last time Sister Yiyu came and went in a hurry, without saying a word, Sister Yiyu left, this fresh style is according to two hundred Wen a, what do you think, Sister Yiyu?".
"Shopkeeper Huang, Yiyu was just joking just now, how can you take it seriously, this can't be done?" Liu Yiyu saw that there was no smile on the face of the shopkeeper Huang, and after saying to himself seriously, Liu Yiyu hurriedly waved his hand.
If I was joking just now, it was not that the Huang shopkeeper was serious, and mistakenly thought that he was going to blackmail the Huang shopkeeper to increase the price of this fresh style of embroidery.
"I can't help but be overjoyed when other people's wages go up, I wish the price was going to rise every day, I can get more wages, and when I go to Miss Yiyu, I will give you a wage increase, as if I have suffered some big crime, how can I still push it out?
Sister-in-law is not for no reason to give you the price increase, but your fresh style of embroidery, but it is to drive the sister-in-law shop in the finished clothes and cloth business, business is better than in the past nearly three or four percent, these are the Yiyu sister to bring fresh styles of embroidery credit, sister-in-law Huang made money and ate meat, you have to leave some soup for you to drink! What's more, Sister Yiyu, Sister-in-law Huang is a businessman, businessmen are profit-heavy, and there is no profit to be made, Sister-in-law Huang will not do such a stupid thing."
"That, Yiyu, thank you sister-in-law Huang."
The sisters and brothers behind Liu Yiyu grinned and laughed to the back of their heads when they heard that the shopkeeper Huang was going to raise the price of the fresh embroidery for his family.
"Sister-in-law Huang, take a look at the embroidery this time." Liu Yiyu said, took out the embroidery sample this time, and handed it to Sister-in-law Huang.
"This embroidery is interesting tight, this monk is dressed in a robe, tall, elegant manners, kind face, at a glance you know that it is a monk, this monkey, what is a humanoid monkey head, however, the embroidery is really vivid, this monkey soars through the clouds, a pair of fiery eyes, a look is to know that it is not a trouble-free monkey.
There is also this person who looks like a pig's head, looking at the embroidered eyes dripping, the delicious and lazy to do, love to take advantage of the small advantage to embroider the spirit, and the last monk is also embroidered excellently, why this time there are only four embroidery? ”。 Sister-in-law Huang was extremely satisfied with the four embroidery patterns when she saw the sleeve embroidery patterns of the four fresh patterns this time, each with its own merits and benefits, but she was a little curious about how there were four embroideries, raised her head, and asked Liu Yiyu.
"These four embroideries, the monk in the robe is Tang Seng, the monkey head is Sun Wukong, the pig-headed man is Zhu Bajie, and the last one is Sha Seng, and the four of them are four masters and apprentices.
They have four masters and apprentices, and Yiyu also made up a story, called "Journey to the West" about Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Monk protecting Tang monks to learn scriptures from the West, and after nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, they subdued demons and subdued demons along the way, turned danger into disaster, and finally reached the West Heaven and obtained the story of the true scriptures. Liu Yiyu was cheeky, moved "Journey to the West" from his previous life here, and said that Journey to the West was written by himself, which couldn't help but make Liu Yiyu's face a little red.
"That's it, so be it! This is the money for the four embroidery samples this time and the money for the three hundred copper plate embroidery samples that increased last time, and the Yiyu girl has collected it." As long as these fresh styles of embroidery can make money for themselves, the Huang shopkeeper does not hesitate to embroider anything on it, and the Huang shopkeeper takes eleven hanging money and hands it to Liu Yiyudao.
"Shopkeeper Huang, do you have cotton to sell here, my family wants to buy some cotton and go back to make a few quilts and cotton clothes." Liu Yiyu asked the shopkeeper Huang after taking the eleven hanging money.
"This is naturally there, this year's new cotton has not yet come out, last year's Chen Mian is not, sister-in-law counts you cheaper, ten copper plates a catty, how much do you want."
Liu Yiyu also knows the price of cotton, the price of new cotton is fifteen copper plates a catty, if it is last year's cotton, it is not considered old cotton, and the cheapest one is afraid that it will also cost thirteen copper plates a catty, it seems that Huang's sister-in-law is taking care of her own family.
"Sister-in-law Huang is not a loss! When the time comes, what will Yiyu do not want to do in his heart? ”。 Liu Yiyu hesitated.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law won't lose, it's not easy for you to be a big family, and your sister-in-law is just making less money for your family, and other people's sisters-in-law won't do this." Shopkeeper Huang patted Liu Yiyu's hand.
"That's it, let's have fifty pounds first." Liu Yiyu calculated in his heart, his own family wants to make three quilts, one quilt needs ten catties, this will cost thirty catties, the northern winter is cold, and his own family also needs cotton clothes for the winter, it is estimated that a family of ten people, it is enough to make ten cotton clothes and twenty catties of cotton.
"Cheng, I asked the guy to go and pack it for you, bought cotton, and made the cloth into a quilt, and then stuffed the cotton into it and sewed it, the coarse cloth here is one foot and five copper plates, and one hundred and fifty copper plates, if the Yiyu sister's family wants to cut three quilts and a family of ten people to make a cotton coat, I am afraid that one coarse cloth is not enough, at least two coarse cloths."
"Then there will be two." Liu Yiyu gritted his teeth and nodded.
The eleven hanging money that has just arrived has not yet been hot, so it is spent like this, which makes Liu Yiyu feel a little distressed.
Wild things were sold to Xiangmanlou, embroidery was also handed over to the splendid cloth shop, and dozens of catties of cotton were bought, three things to the town today, two were completed, Liu Yiyu saw the second sister and the third sister The cotton pile on the back basket was high, and the two of them were a little distressed and said, "Why don't you rent an ox cart and help us send these things back."
