Chapter 14: Buying Cloth

walked to the door of a cloth village, and before she entered the door, the little maid stopped her at the door, and her tone was quite unkind: "Let's go, a little beggar, still want to come to our cloth village?" Nor do they weigh their own pounds. ”

Wen Xi looked at the guy and said coldly, "Isn't the opening of the store just doing business?" ”

The little guy sneered and said mockingly: "Doing business also depends on the business of whom, don't you look at the guests like you, like you can afford to buy the fabric of our cloth village?" Our cloth village can only be bought by high-ranking officials and nobles, and anyone can enter, so we still need to open it here. ”

"You mean what your shopkeeper means?"

"Heh, you, are you worthy of mentioning our shopkeeper? Roll as far as you can! ”

The shopkeeper who was settling accounts at the counter inside looked up at Wen Xi at the door, saw her covered in patches, pouted and continued to bow her head to settle the accounts.

Wen Xi naturally saw the shopkeeper's style.

A smile of interest appeared in his eyes.

"Okay, in that case, this girl won't enter." With that, she turned and walked towards a cloth house opposite.

The little guy snorted and said loudly: "Let's go to the store that is about to close down on the other side!" Maybe there's a bargain for you, after all, you poor peasants are only right there. ”

Wen Xi paused, looked back at the little guy standing at the door, and his cold gaze was like a real sword, piercing him.

The little girl moved towards the store a little frightened, always feeling that if she didn't hide in again, this girl would take revenge on herself.

He was right, Wenxi really turned around and came back.

She looked at the little guy at the door coldly, and said in a deep voice: "The grain, fruits, and vegetables you eat all fell from the sky?" If you don't have a peasant, you have to starve to death, and it's a shameless person like you who scolds your mother with a rice bowl. ”

"You, you, you······ You're a strong word! ”

"Aren't you shameless to eat the food grown by the farmer's uncle and slander your parents? If you can hire a small guy like you, it is estimated that it will not be much better, this kind of shop, don't come! ”

Aside from the onlookers, Wenxi walked straight to the cloth village opposite.

The little guy's face was pale, and he just wanted to have a seizure, but he listened to the deep voice of the shopkeeper inside: "Don't come in to sell goods yet, confused things!" ”

It's not that the shopkeeper of Buzhuang didn't know the noise at the door, but he didn't expect his little guy to be so useless, and even a little beggar couldn't win, and he lost face in vain.

Wenxi walked into the cloth village, and the customers in the store were sparse, only two older aunts were picking fabrics, and a slightly younger daughter-in-law was picking flower cloths, and there were no other customers.

At this time, a man in his twenties came up, and he should be dressed as a guy in the store.

"Girl, what do you want to buy?"

"Buy a few sets of fabrics to make clothes." Wen Xi pointed to the cotton cloth on the far left and asked, "How do you sell this kind of fabric?" ”

"This kind of fine cotton cloth is suitable for intimate underwear, to a hundred yuan, you can use this kind of coarse cotton cloth for outerwear, the price is more appropriate, only fifty yuan."

Wenxi knew that this guy was looking at his own dress and recommended the most cost-effective fabric, so he didn't feel the slightest anger because he introduced low-cost cotton cloth.

Wen Xi roughly calculated the population of the family, everyone in the family had to make two sets of clothes, plus underwear, probably a total of two pieces of fine cotton cloth, six pieces of cheesecloth were enough.

She carefully picked the colors, and the ones for Wen Kang and the two old men were all dark, Lin Hui's was pink, her own was goose yellow, and Wen Tao's was blue. So the family's clothes are all in place.

Fulai Buzhuang has not opened such a big list for a long time, and the guy called the shopkeeper to say the fabric that Wenxi wanted, and the shopkeeper was suddenly overjoyed.

You know, since the opening of the cloth village opposite, they have been constantly suppressing their cloth village, at the beginning the cloth village still had a little business, but now it is getting less and less, and it is about to go out of business.

Now that they have sold eight pieces of cloth at once, it is undoubtedly a big customer for them.

"Girl, two horses of fine cotton cloth are two hundred wen, and six horses of cheesecloth are three hundred wen, a total of five hundred wen. We'll send the girl half a piece of cheesecloth to your door, what do you think? The shopkeeper looked at Wen Xi cautiously, for fear that the other party would be a little dissatisfied, so he wouldn't buy it from him.

Five hundred wen is indeed a large number for ordinary farmers, but for the current Wenxi, it is a drop in the bucket.

After paying happily, Wen Xi asked his doubts.

"Shopkeeper, I see that the quality of your cloth here is also very good, why is the business so cold?"

"Hey······" Speaking of this, Zhao Fulai couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing that his boss didn't want to speak, the guy had to speak on his behalf: "Girl, don't you know, originally our cloth village was also well-known in the town, not only the fabric quality is good, but the price is also affordable, but since the opening of the millennium cloth village opposite, we have been suppressed and breathless." ”

"What's so special about the Millennial Cloth House?" Wen Xi frowned slightly, although he didn't buy the fabric of the Millennium Cloth Village, but with that little guy's dog-eyed attitude of looking down on people, he could find out one or two of them.

"As soon as their shop came, they poached all the masters of our original dyeing cloth, and they can also weave and dye very brightly colored fabrics, and they are not easy to fade, although the price is high, but the rich people in the town are very sought after, so our shop is gradually declining, and today we can only sell some ordinary fabrics, and the customers are almost gone." The guy said dejectedly.

The shopkeeper Zhao also had a dish, thinking of the cloth village that had been passed down from his ancestors for generations, and his own generation ended up in this form, and he was ashamed of his ancestors and ancestors after a hundred years!

I see.

Nowadays, there are only cotton, dyed, calico and solid satin fabrics on the market.

These kinds of cloth, with solid color satin cloth and calico are more expensive, satin cloth is expensive in the cost of fabric, printed cloth is expensive in the dyeing process, but there are only a few simple colors of calico on the market.

But dyeing cloth is too simple for modern people.

Modern dyed cloth is not only bright in color and not easy to fade, but also has thousands of colors and dozens of materials.

If you can provide a way to dye and weave cloth for Fu Lai Cloth Village, it may also be a shortcut to make money.

Thinking of this, Wen Xi smiled and said to Shopkeeper Zhao: "Shopkeeper, I have several tricks, if you are interested, we can cooperate, including some methods of weaving and dyeing cloth, maybe your business can return to the peak, and even far surpass the Millennium Cloth Village opposite." ”

"Really?" Shopkeeper Zhao's voice was slightly excited, but then he thought that there was only a teenage girl standing in front of him.

There is no way for a person who is dozens of years old, what good way can she do at such a young age?

Seeing the doubts and hesitation in Zhao Fulai's eyes, Wen Xi directly asked the guy to bring him paper and charcoal, and in front of the two of them, he drew a pattern and handed it to Zhao's shopkeeper.

Zhao Fulai went from initial doubt to amazement, and the emotions in his eyes were unreservedly released: "Wonderful! It's wonderful! Zhao was clumsy, he didn't know that the girl had such an amazing talent! ”
