Chapter 52: The Princess

There are many customers in the cloth village who are choosing fabrics.

There are young women who put the fabric on their husbands for comparison, and there are also young women who stick it to themselves for their husbands to see.

Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing stopped together, not because other husbands and wives were very close, but because they were both entering the cloth village for the first time.

Yan Fu asked in a low voice, "Do you know how many feet of cloth a person has to tear to make a dress?" ”

Fu Ciyi couldn't help but ask: "You are a woman, don't you know?" ”

"But I haven't sewed clothes."

"Then I'm even more impossible."

The boss of the cloth village saw a little couple like golden boys and girls coming in at the door, just standing there chatting, but they didn't come forward.

Seeing that the clothes on their bodies were worth a lot of money, they thought that they had come to a big customer, so they greeted them with a smile.

"We have good brocade and soft smoke in our store, do you want to take a look?"

Yan Fu pondered, didn't know how to ask, and was laughed at by others, anyway, there were a lot of pieces of meat, so he said: "Boss, how much is a foot of cloth, and how many feet of cloth is a horse?" ”

The boss of the cloth village smiled and asked, "Are you asking about brocade or soft smoke?" ”

Yan Funing was neither humble nor arrogant: "Cotton and linen." ”

When the boss heard this, the smile on his face faded a lot.

He was a little surprised, the couple was well dressed, why did they come to ask cotton and linen?

But if you have a business, you definitely want to do it.

After all, there is a cloth village across the street, and he can make a stroke.

Then he patiently introduced: "A piece of cloth is forty feet, and the muslin cloth is slightly more expensive, according to the whole horse, two hundred dollars a horse." Linen cloth is cheap, one hundred and fifty wen a horse. Oh, and coarse cloth. ”

Yan Funing asked again: "What kind of fabric is the coarse cloth?" ”

"Coarse cloth is also called homespun cloth, which is also a cotton fabric, and the feel is far less good than that of fine cotton. The price is cheaper than linen, a hundred wen a horse. The boss led people to the store, and still persistently introduced the brocade, "Our brocade is two by two, you are handsome, and you look good in it." ”

Yan Funing looked sideways at Fu Ciyi, who was tall beside her, she was indeed very handsome.

Many women with husbands in the store still secretly looked at him.

At this moment, Fu Ciyi spoke: "One linen coarse cloth suitable for men, and three muslin suitable for women." ”

The owner of the cloth house saw that they did not buy silk and satin, but as soon as they opened their mouths, they asked for five pieces of cloth, which was a big deal.

Then he smiled kindly: "You really don't think about the fabric next to you?" ”

Yan Fu condensed and said, Fu Ciyi has fine skin and tender flesh, but he can't teach the linen coarse cloth to wear down his skin.

And her skin is especially delicate, so she should also buy muslin.

Thinking of this, she grabbed Fu Ciyi's arm: "Let me say." ”

As he just said, it was to give the right to choose the color to the shopkeeper, how did this work?

Everyone has a business experience, and they must sell the colors that are not selling well first.

Fu Ciyi looked down at the white tender little hand that was grabbing his arm......

His arms seemed to be a little stiff.

It's not upright, it's not upright.

If it hangs down, it means that she won't be caught, so will she cry?

Before he could think about it, Yan Funing had already let go of his arm and took a step forward.

She spread her five fingers: "Boss, we want five muslins, and I will choose the color myself." ”

The linen cloth was replaced by muslin, and the boss smiled kindly.

"Okay, take your pick." He raised his hand and pointed to the closet one by one, "This row is full of muslin, all kinds of colors. ”

Hearing that a guest next to him was calling him, he said to Yan Funing and Fu Ciyi: "Pick slowly, I'll go and greet the other guests first." ”

The two of them bowed their heads and stood in front of the closet.

"What color do you like?"

Yan Funing looked up, and reached out to touch the fabric from time to time.

Fu Ciyi didn't think about it, and said bluntly: "Xuanse." ”

Yan Funing: "The dark brocade is good-looking, and if the muslin is black, it is not good-looking." ”

Fu Ciyi: "You choose." ”

Yan Funing: "Then I made a decision?" ”

Fu Ciyi: "Hmm. ”

Yan Funing turned her head and shouted, "Boss, we have chosen." ”

The boss handed over the guests to the shopkeeper, and came to Yan Funing by himself: "Which ones did you choose?" I'll take it off for you. ”

"Indigo, ultramarine, cloves, lotus lotus, water green, one for each." Yan Funing leaned closer to him slightly, and whispered, "Five pieces of muslin cloth are one or two pieces of silver, can the boss give some spare cloth?" In this way, if I make clothes, I can get some embellishments. ”

When the boss heard this, he laughed and said softly: "I've seen bargaining, but I've never seen you like this." ”

There are many customers who buy cloth, and once they bargain, the guests next to them will follow suit.

In the end, if the price is lowered, his profit will be less.

If the deal fails, the customer runs to the cloth village opposite.

This little lady is really smart, she discussed with him in a whisper, and she didn't bargain directly, so it didn't hurt to give some spare cloth.

Anyway, there are many odd pieces of cloth in his cloth village, so he agreed.

He took the five muslin she asked for from the closet and put them on the counter, and he whispered again: "I'll go and get the spare pieces of cloth at the back, and you will have to come to me next time you want to buy silk and satin." My surname is Wang, and the surname of the family opposite is Wang, don't make a mistake. ”

Yan Funing nodded with a smile: "Okay, Boss Wang." ”

The little lady is good-looking, and the appearance of her smile makes people happy, and Boss Wang walks a lot briskly.

After a while, he brought out a brown paper bag and put it on the counter.

"It's all in it, it's all the colors that the girl's family likes." He patted the paper bag and lowered his voice, "Don't open it, it's not good to let the guests next to you see it." ”

"I know."

Yan Fu nodded, lowered her head and took the purse from her waist.

Her purse had not yet been removed, and Fu Ciyi had already put a tael of silver on the counter.

The boss of the cloth village accepted the money and said with a smile: "Little lady, your father-in-law has already paid." ”

Yan Funing looked at Fu Ciyi: "You ......"

"Put your purse away." Fu Ciyi said lightly, stacked the five pieces of cloth, picked them up, and walked away.

Yan Funing took the paper bag and threw it into the back basket, and hurriedly followed him.

"Did you earn money by copying books?"

"Well, I only copied three copies this time, and I didn't make much money."

"Three Ben made a silver tael or two?"

"One or two halves."

"That's a lot, it's just a little harder." Yan Fu thought for a while and pointed to the incense wax shop not far away, "Let's go buy candles, our eyes can't be broken." ”

Fu Ciyi paused uncontrollably.

He didn't know if what she said was caring about him, or because he could make money copying books, she said that she couldn't break his eyes?

Yan Funing walked quickly, and when she saw that he was still stunned, she turned her head sideways and called him: "Let's go." ”

Fu Ciyi took another step.

The two entered the incense wax shop.

When the shopkeeper saw her coming again, he brought a young man with him, and the man also carried five pieces of cloth.

A person who can buy five pieces of cloth in one go is not too poor.

What's more, this man was so good-looking that she couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and then asked Yan Funing: "Girl, what do you want to buy today?" ”
