Chapter Seventy-Three: A New Suit
Qin Mingyue's calculations were sent to the Shen family, and Mrs. Yang was very surprised, she thought it would take at least seven days, but she didn't expect Qin Mingyue's speed to be so fast, and she had already done it all. In the past, I asked my old lady to get it, because of his lazy temperament, he had to ink for ten days and half a month. This Qin Mingyue is fast enough.
Mrs. Yang looked at the route time given by Qin Mingyue, and no longer hesitated, and directly asked the Lu family to arrange for the family's fleet to travel. At this time, the Liu family also came to tell him that the printed silk that Qin Mingyue said before had been bought, put in the fleet, and was ready to leave for overseas.
Mrs. Yang nodded. It just so happened that Shen Xingyi also came over on this day, and when he heard this, he said, "Sister-in-law, have you seen that batch of silk?" What do you think? ”
Liu said with a smile: "The silk is an ordinary Jiangnan satin. It should be the finest and finest plain silk, which was woven and dyed after being transported to the capital. The material is not comparable with the tribute satin and brocade that we often use, but the color is really good. I looked fine, so I left ten bright horses to make clothes for the girls at home. If my little sister is curious, I will ask someone to fetch it. ”
Shen Xing hurriedly said, "Okay, sister-in-law will ask someone to fetch it." ”
Liu hurriedly told the maid to go back and get it. The courtyard where the Liu family, as the wife of the prince, lived, was naturally the upper room closest to the residence of Mrs. Yang, so it was only a short time before the maids came back, came back with ten silk horses, and after entering the door, they shook off all ten silk horses.
At this moment, not only Shen Xing moved to be interested, but even Mrs. Yang also asked Mei Xiang to get her glasses and take a closer look.
Shen Xingyi looked at these satins while touching the satin and said: "This quality is not bad, the texture is fine, and it is indeed dyed from the high-quality plain silk produced in Jiangnan." However, this suit is really special. This stone blue, compared with the stone blue we use, seems to have an extra layer of dark pearl, and it looks very stable and luxurious. There is also this peacock blue one, the color is between green and blue, and it looks very refreshing. There is also this one, which looks hazy and faint, and is very good-looking. There is also this warehouse green, which was originally the most unpleasant, but it is rare that it actually looks extraordinarily vicissitudes. Well, these colors are very special, and you really can't buy them on the market. ”
Mrs. Yang also touched the fabric carefully and said: "Well, such a texture and such a color, not to mention being sold overseas, even in our big week, it will inevitably become a sought-after product." It's a pity that our family doesn't do silk business, otherwise, we can really buy a batch of such fabrics and sell them. ”
"Although we don't need these ordinary silks, it is still very useful for large families to cut clothes for maids and servants, and for small families to make clothes, countertops, curtains, etc. Don't look down on these middle-class fabric markets, in fact, it's still very profitable. ”
"Originally, I thought that the things recommended by the little junior sister must be average, but in order to give the little junior sister face, we still bought it and took it overseas. Anyway, there is no such good silk as our Da Zhou overseas, and even the lowest silk can be sold out there. Where did I think that the goods of the little junior sister's weaving and dyeing workshop are so good, so to put it mildly, we took advantage of the little junior sister. Although we went to sea late this time, I asked people to prepare three good things in advance to take them out to sell, and this time I unexpectedly added this satin. Come to think of it, we can still satisfy our old customers overseas, and it will not be in vain for them to wait for us. ”
Liu Shi hurriedly said humbly: "Isn't it? I look at these silks and I think they are good, let alone those overseas merchants? It is estimated that this silk will be sold out as soon as it arrives overseas. It seems that we have to say hello to the little aunt, and next year we will have to buy more silk produced by the weaving and dyeing workshop of the little aunt. ”
Mrs. Yang nodded.
Liu Shi said again: "I look at these silks very well, so I asked the shopkeeper of the little aunt who came to contact, a person named Qiyang. It was the man who was framed by the third aunt of the Fuchun Hou family in the capital some time ago. It turned out that he was rescued by the little sister, so he went to the hands of the little sister. ”
"That guy looks like a businessman. He said that his weaving and dyeing workshop had just dyed three boatloads of silk. This time, it sold us a few hundred horses, and it was also a good profit. So, the price is not high. Of course, for the sake of the little aunt's face, she gave a price slightly higher than the market. Qi Yang was very happy. I took the opportunity to ask him again, is there any stock left? After all, the business that the little aunt just started, the three ships of silk and satin, should not be sold out. I thought that our house was about to make new clothes for the servants, so I bought fifty pieces of cloth and came back. ”
Liu got a reminder from his mother-in-law before that he wanted to be more friendly with Qin Mingyue. She was naturally obsessed, so she seized this opportunity.
Mrs. Yang was also very satisfied when she saw this daughter-in-law being taught so much.
On the side, Shen Xing shifted his mind away. She smiled and said: "These cloths are not small, and they are so beautiful, my sister-in-law bought them, and I will go back and tell my mother-in-law about them, and I will also buy some for our house, and it will be time to make new clothes for the servants soon." ”
Mrs. Yang nodded. My daughter is also very smart.
But Shen Xingyi said again: "Sister-in-law, you rush Ming'er and ask someone to bring the letter to the Qiyang shopkeeper." Let him come to Mafu. Although our Shen family does not do silk business and does not have a silk shop, didn't my mother give me a silk Zhuangzi on West Street in Beijing? ”
"The location of that shop is so good, but the business is average. However, this is also how it should be, the best silk in the capital is not the Hua family? If I want to do a good business, I have to find another way, and like the Hua family's silk, I will definitely not make money. Maybe these silks will bring my shop back to life? ”
Mrs. Yang also remembered the dowry shop she gave Shen Xingyi. He nodded and said, "That's fine." You ask your sister-in-law to contact that Qi Yang for you, and plan it well. ”
This is just a trivial matter, and Mrs. Yang then talked to the Liu family about arranging sea trade.
However, a few days later, Qin Mingyue received the good news from Qi Yang: "What did you say? The first time you bought on your own, the silk dyed has already been sold. Later, the three boats of plain silk transported by He Jinfang's younger brother He Jinlan have already been dyed and bought part of it for the Shen family, and the rest was sold to Shen Xingyi's wedding silk shop? ”
