After only one day in Quanzhou, Xu Ling sold all the porcelain.

Next, he will also go back to Lingbao Town and transport another batch.

It's just that Lou Qiaosheng told him that those Yishang merchants will leave in a few days, and when they come again, it is estimated that it will be next year.

For the goods shipped by Xu Ling next time, Lou Qiaosheng is willing to give three points of profit, in exchange for Xu Ling's understanding, that is, only three percent of the intermediary fee will be charged.

At this time, the proportion of Ya Ren's fees was quite high, in addition to being able to get it from Xu Ling, he could also get a sum of money from those Yi merchants.

Lou Qiaosheng himself told Xu Ling that he was very happy to tell the Yi merchants how to protect the porcelain, so he gave him more reward, and also promised to bring a small amount of pepper seeds when he came back next year, and whether they could grow them or not depended on their ability.

"Brother Xu, since you want to go back to Lingbao Town, why don't you bring something back from Quanzhou?" Lou Qiaosheng intended to befriend Xu Ling, and after the incident, he invited Xu Ling to the restaurant in his private name.

Offshore Quanzhou, you can eat seafood here, and fried oysters are one of the delicious dishes.

The stall owner used a yellow clay oven to cook rice wine, and the two asked for half a catty of donkey meat, a plate of oyster fried, and sat at the table to eat and chat.

Of course, Xu Ling wanted to buy something to take back, in fact, he had already thought about it.

Quanzhou's double-sided brocade pa. When he went to sell autumn pear paste that day, the angry little girl of the Lin family wanted to buy a double-sided Jinpa.

Quanzhou is rich in silk, there are at least 100,000 mulberry trees here, and I don't know how many people raise silkworms and weave cloth at home.

There are countless types of fabrics such as brocade, yarn and silk, not to mention that there are many mountains and forests here, and the fur business is also very large.

Of course, no matter how much silk brocade Quanzhou produces, it cannot meet the needs of the people of the entire Yong Dynasty like modern technology. Therefore, the cloth here can only be consumed by the common people of the middle family, and as for the ordinary peasants who farm, they rarely wear silk and satin, and the coarse cloth woven from ramie is often worn by the common people.

In between, for example, the green cloth clothes worn by Xu Ling are actually the product of a mixture of silk and linen.

Xu Ling couldn't buy the cloth here as cheaply as he did in Lingbao Town, but he could buy the finished double-sided brocade and sell it to Lingbao Town at a slightly higher price.

Don't want to double the profits, just don't run empty-handed.

Sure enough, Lou Qiaosheng also suggested that he buy some silk and return to Lingbao Town.

The two drank and talked until the moonlight deepened, and Quanzhou revealed another kind of beauty.

On the wooden lamp stands on both sides of the road, there are countless lanterns, either depicted or inscribed, reflecting the streets on both sides as bright as day.

At night, the drunken merchants, the scholars in the academy, came out of the house, and walked in groups in twos and threes, drinking and having fun, or listening to people playing and singing in the teahouse.

Not to mention the strings of flower boats on one side of the river like a long dragon, the most eye-catching thing is the colorful building built of glaze outside the Xicheng Tower, which shines with colorful colors under the illumination of candlelight and moonlight, attracting everyone to go.

Lou Qiaosheng saw that Xu Ling was looking seriously, and stretched out his hand to point to the colorful building and said: "This is the most famous green building in Quanzhou, and the girls in it are stunning, if you have the opportunity, do you want to take a look?" ”

Xu Ling raised his glass and drank the rice wine, and said with a smile: "Which man doesn't want to?" ”

Lou Qiaosheng laughed, patted the table and said, "Then I wish our brothers a high sesame flower!" ”

Xu Ling poured wine and clinked glasses with him, and the two looked at each other and laughed.

The next day, Xu Ling got up early in the morning to sell cabbage, he planned to sell all the ripe cabbage in the space, and on the way back to Lingbao Town, he would have to take a boat for at least four or five days, enough for him to plant another round.

After selling the vegetables, Lou Qiaosheng came to him again at noon, this time to find a good seller for him.

Qiaoniang Buzhuang in Lion's Head Alley is willing to take over Xu Ling's small business.

Qiao Niang Cloth Village is run by three generations, the shopkeeper is a man, and the one who makes these embroideries is his wife, his wife and daughter.

Xu Ling spent sixty taels of silver to buy three hundred brocade paps, and the price of one piece was two hundred yuan.

Two hundred wen can buy six chickens.

Xu Ling was secretly happy in his heart, but when he took the sample, he knew as soon as he started that it was definitely not expensive to buy a handkerchief for 200 yuan.

Each handkerchief is embroidered with different patterns, some are lantern fruits, some are morning glories, and there are many other patterns with beautiful meanings such as bamboo, lotus flowers, and plum blossoms.

Not to mention that it's still double-sided! Double-sided!

"This veil is really beautifully made." Xu Ling couldn't help but sigh.

The shopkeeper of Buzhuang said with a smile: "This is all the work of the little girl in my family to practice skills, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance." ”

Listen, it really knows Versailles.

Although he knew that it was a routine, Xu Ling still praised disapprovingly: "The patterns on this, which one is not lifelike, blooming like a real flower in front of you, Ling Ai is really ingenious." ”

The shopkeeper stroked his beard and laughed, and said to Xu Ling: "Qiao'er followed her mother and grandmother to study embroidery at the age of three, but I let her start to hold the needle after she was twelve years old. ”

Xu Ling exchanged a few words with him, and then handed over the money with one hand and took the goods with the other.

After leaving Buzhuang, Lou Qiaosheng pointed to an embroidery village not far from the diagonal opposite and explained to Xu Ling: "These two families are rivals, but the poor two daughters were taken by their father to be so strong, and now they are all dragged into seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls, and they haven't found anyone yet!" ”

At this time, a woman can look at each other at the age of fifteen, and if she can't marry at the age of eighteen, the imperial court will start to collect an additional poll tax.

Taxation is a small matter, but the ridicule of the neighbors is a big thing.

These two cloth farms keep their daughters from marrying and use their skills to support the cloth villages. Although it was an unintentional move, it also saved the two girls from marrying early.

It's just that Xu Ling doesn't know, is it because he is locked up in the embroidery building all day long to embroider the same patterns? Or is it better to marry early and see through the world?

For him, neither is good. But for many women in this era, they have no choice.

Back to the inn, I returned to the room. Xu Ling and Lou Qiaosheng agreed to come back next time, and the two worked together again.

After that, we rushed to the pier.

When he came, he was against the wind, and when he returned, he was against the water, and when Xu Ling rushed back to Lingbao Town, it was another seven days.

It's late October, and the weather is getting colder and colder.

Many people have already put on thin winter clothes, and Xu Ling has also changed into thick clothes so as not to get sick.

But I don't know if it's because he eats more and works more, his physical fitness has improved, and he hasn't been sick again.

Xu Ling returned to Lingbao Town in the second half of the night, he did not delay for a moment, went outside the city, put cabbage, carts, and waited for dawn to enter the city, and found Wang Xuanbao of Yuelou to fulfill the contract.
