Chapter 90: Tapping the Lotus's Talents
He Jiuniang left with Lotus, and Lotus followed her in a regular manner all the way, never looking at the things around her with her eyes, and she was too well-behaved.
He Jiuniang liked this little girl from the bottom of her heart, and couldn't help but say: "Lotus, if you see anything you like, say what you want, and your aunt will buy it for you." ”
"No, no, I don't have what I want!"
Lianhua hurriedly shook her head, for fear that He Jiuniang would really buy her something, she really couldn't afford such a good.
Seeing her like this, He Jiuniang didn't ask again, but in front of a person selling sugar gourds, she bought one and handed it to Lotus.
Lotus thought it was bought for the puppy, and subconsciously wrapped it and stuffed it into her arms.
"Eat, or it will melt later."
He Jiuniang looked at her a little inexplicably, there was no plastic paper in this era, everything was wrapped in leaves or handkerchiefs, and it was sticky after wrapping.
Besides, the sun is getting big at this time, and it will melt after holding it in your arms for a while, and the syrup will flow all over your body by then.
Lianhua was stunned for a moment, looked at He Jiuniang with some confusion and asked, "Auntie, this is what you bought for me?" ”
"Or else?"
He Jiuniang was also a little confused, are there any other children here now?
Lotus didn't know what to say for a while, refuse, it seemed too hypocritical, but accept it, and I'm really embarrassed.
"Eat it, it's your reward for doing so well today."
He Jiuniang smiled, sometimes feeling that the children in the family were too sensible and not like children at all.
Lotus really didn't think of herself as a child, after all, she was thirteen years old, and she would be able to find someone to talk about her family affairs in two years, how could she eat the sugar gourd that He Jiuniang bought?
But looking at the red fruit wrapped in sugar, she still couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
After thinking about it, I still couldn't help but lick it gently, and the sweet feeling instantly filled my mouth.
Although He Jiuniang often brings some snacks back to the children at home during this time, Lotus has always felt that she is a big girl, and every time she tastes a little meaning, she leaves it for her younger brothers and sisters at home, and never tastes the real taste.
She ate two fruits, and then planned to wrap them up and leave them for the puppy.
Aunt Jiuniang is so good to her, she must be better to the puppy.
He Jiuniang held her forehead: "Lotus, you have to think about yourself, don't think about others first." This sugar gourd is not a valuable thing, it is just what your aunt bought for you to eat, and you don't need to leave it to anyone. Besides, I'll just bring them back when I get home later. ”
Lotus blushed embarrassedly, and was a little overwhelmed for a while.
He Jiuniang patted her shoulder and said softly: "The family has made money, and life will only get better and better, eat, it's okay." ”
Lotus's nose was sour, and she hurriedly held back her crying, nodded vigorously, and ate the sugar gourd.
When they arrived at Fengchen Fang, Lotus had already adjusted her mood and carefully looked at the fabric in the cloth village.
"It's so beautiful!"
Lotus couldn't help but marvel, she had never seen so many delicate fabrics.
"You go and pick a few horses that look bright and beautiful, and remember, good materials."
When Lotus took the children of the family to build blocks before, He Jiuniang found that Lotus's aesthetics were very good, and she was often able to give her different surprises.
This kid has a very good understanding, and he has a bright future after serious training.
Although Lotus didn't know what He Jiuniang wanted to do with good materials, she still obediently went to choose, she was very serious, from the color to the quality, she had to check it herself.
Under the leadership of Sister-in-law Lin, He Jiuniang went to see another batch of new goods.
Sister-in-law Lin is the woman who received He Jiuniang last time, and with the owner's reminder, her attitude towards He Jiuniang is even more respectful now.
"He Niangzi, this is the latest soft satin, which is most suitable for thick clothes such as cotton clothes, and the color is also good-looking, why don't you have a few horses?"
Sister-in-law Lin knew that He Jiuniang bought the fabric and went back to make it a winter ready-to-wear for sale, and this soft satin was indeed suitable, after all, she was the benefactor of the owner, and she didn't dare to fool around at will.
He Jiuniang touched the material, it was really good, but she didn't draw a conclusion, she just called the lotus flower and asked, "Lotus, what do you think of the color of this material?" ”
"It's beautiful," Lotus nodded sincerely, and continued, "It's just too flamboyant, even if it's a lady from a rich family, she won't necessarily like this type, unless ......"
In the latter words, she was really embarrassed to say it as a little girl, what she wanted to say was that she would like it if she was a concubine or a girl in a flower building who treated people with sex.
Although she didn't say it, He Jiuniang and Sister-in-law Lin both understood what she wanted to express, and Sister-in-law Lin hurriedly said: "There are some simple and elegant materials, just over here!" ”
He Jiuniang said to Lotus: "What you said is very reasonable, but we don't care who we have to sell to in business, we just need to consider whether we can sell it." ”
As she spoke, she said to Sister-in-law Lin: "Bring me all these horses, and I also want those few elegant ones, and I also want five horses of the same soft satin suitable for men." ”
He Jiuniang is a cheerful person, and Sister-in-law Lin is so smiling that her mouth can stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
With the five horses that Lotus had just picked, there were twenty-one horses in total.
Flower soft satin is more expensive, the retail price of a horse is 750 Wen, but He Jiuniang cooperated with Yu Tao and bought a lot, so she only charged 630 Wen.
The five horses picked by Lotus are cheesecloth, suitable for civilian girls to wear, the color is good-looking and unassuming, the price of a single horse is 350 Wen, and Sister-in-law Lin gives 300 Wen.
The total is 11 taels of silver and 580 wen.
Lotus was frightened by this price, they only earned two taels of silver from selling clothes this morning, which cost more than they earned!
When she was about to leave, He Jiuniang patted her head and said to Sister-in-law Lin: "And the linen cloth from last time, give me two more horses for each color, look at my brain, I almost forgot it!" ”
Sister-in-law Lin answered and went to arrange, the color of the burlap cloth is not very much, only six colors, and the total is only twelve pieces of cloth.
The black and blue are simple, there are no superfluous patterns, the retail is 210 Wen, and Sister-in-law Lin counts 160 Wen for her, and the remaining four have patterns, and the retail sales are 230 Wen, and Sister-in-law Lin counts 170 Wen.
added up to just two taels of silver, He Jiuniang paid for it, and gave a total of thirteen taels of silver, and the lotus flower looked straight at it.
It's too expensive, so I'm afraid that this business won't make money.
After leaving Buzhuang, Lianhua asked He Jiuniang in a low voice: "Auntie, are there so many rich families in the county?" ”
