Chapter 126
Hearing about cotton, Liu Laozhu's face finally showed a smile.
Since he was angry with his eldest son, the eldest son pretended that he was not in the city, and he never looked for him since he left, and he didn't even show a happy look when the Xu family paid off the debt just now.
It's just a sigh of relief for the Xu family and himself in my heart.
It can be seen how satisfied he is with the price of cotton.
Liu Laozhu looked at Mrs. Xu with some invitation and said, "Our town is three hundred and fifty wen a catty, and you women often inquire about this price. There are three hundred and thirty copper plates in the county, and if you get more goods, you can reduce the price to three hundred, how much do you think my brother will give to the one he found?"
Liu Laozhu didn't need Mrs. Xu to ask, so he happily gestured: "The one-time purchase is more than 300 catties, and the price for me is 240 wen per catty."
It takes more than seventy taels of silver to buy money.
Originally, Liu Laozhu was worried that the purchase money was not enough, and this trip could not only wholesale cotton to go back to earn the difference, but he could get 300 catties of goods at one time and not so much silver.
On the way here, he pondered going to his eldest son to string one hundred and eighty taels, but he didn't expect the Xu family to be so powerful, and the more than seventy taels of the repayment included his own fifty taels of grain money, and more than twenty taels borrowed from outsiders as a guarantee with his face. Now that the Xu family has paid off the debt, the money will be borrowed by him in the future.
owed more than 20 taels of silver to others, and he first reloaded the goods and used them for a few more days before repaying them.
"So much cheaper?" Mrs. Xu was also surprised.
"No, it's a coincidence that the fart drives the crotch, there's something going on here."
Liu Laozhu said:
"The cloth village I introduced is not ranked in this city at all.
Any business in this big city, if it is big, which one does not have a noble person behind it? Some of the shops behind the owner are simply opened by nobles.
Therefore, that Yicheng girl can't rely on selling good materials to support the business, and what she sells herself is used by us ordinary people.
But with her brother's connections, she is much stronger than our villagers. I heard that I have received orders for two consecutive years to supply the maids in the high-gate compound in this city with clothes and cotton clothes for the whole year."
Mrs. Xu is envious: That will earn a lot.
Like the maid in the high gate is better dressed than ordinary people, how can it be that at least four sets of single clothes and two sets of cotton clothes are required all year round, otherwise the waiter will stand next to him and there will be a lot of people, so the money earned will not be allowed to come in?
Liu Laozhu continued: "But something happened this year. A lot of cotton and cloth were brought back from that side, but this good deal was pried up. The aunt of the proprietor knew that my brother and her brother were opening an inn across the official road, and they were both acquaintances, so they gave this real price. I guess compared to Da Bu Zhuang, she can't compare to how many years she has worked there. There are so many fabrics and cotton, and I can't afford to press too much money for a while, so I want to get cash as soon as possible to be able to reload, saying that it is only a freight and hard money to move goods. Although the words of the trader cannot be fully believed, it can be seen that there is a lot of profit in the middle of cotton cloth, but it is indeed like a big pie falling from the sky."
After Liu Laozhu finished talking about the previous situation, he immediately asked Mrs. Xu what she wanted: "Do you think 300 catties can be sold?" When I went back to the village, I sold it to the people in our village for 280 yuan, and I sold it for 300 yuan for people from other villages and one price in the county. In this case, one pound of cotton can earn at least fifty wen, and disposing of three hundred catties is a net income of fifteen taels of silver."
In fact, he already knew it in his heart, and he just wanted to hear two more words of encouragement from the Xu family, so that he seemed to be more at ease. After all, it was called 300 catties of cotton and transported back.
Mrs. Xu said, "I don't care how much you sell people in the village, I will cooperate with you. Don't be too busy with thirteen tricks, you'll suffer all the way, and you'll have to earn a little. But to sell outsiders, 32 or 330 wen is enough, you don't have to be vague in your heart, there are many villages nearby. At most, if it is not sold out, I will rush to another town to sell it."
She is a woman, can she not understand the idea of mothers-in-law running a house?
Not to mention that it is twenty or thirty yuan cheaper than the town, it is cheaper than five yuan, as long as you have a little spare money in your hand, you will buy a catty, even if a pound of cotton is not enough to make a piece of clothing, it will be accumulated.
"If I were you, after I went back and brought back all those big goods, if I still had any money left, I would buy more cotton, not limited to three hundred catties, and I would have to be bold if I wanted to make money." Mrs. Xu took care of Liu Laozhu very much, hoping that he would earn more: "My family's share, I buy it alone, and it is not counted in the three hundred catties."
Liu Laozhu heard Mrs. Xu's kindness, and smiled appreciatively: "It seems that you have really made a lot of money. You haven't answered me yet, what did you sell to?"
Mrs. Xu didn't expect the topic to turn back, there was really no tacit understanding.
Why is there no sense of boundaries?
But just to solve the problem, Mrs. Xu took out fifteen catties of refined salt made by her granddaughter: "Which house the noble person is, I can't say in detail, the reason is that this salt, he used salt to offset some money. Do you want refined salt? Eighty-five wen a pound is really a good deal. Although there is nothing we can't say, I will answer the others, after all, this is called a private sale."
Liu Laozhu immediately made up for it, it seems that the noble man is the one who is in charge of the kitchen of the Gaomen compound.
It may be that he secretly took the salt of the main family in exchange for money.
Look at the salt again: "Oh my God, so white!"
