Chapter 255 The Scholar in Distress ([-])

After entering the county seat, Su Dalang took Su Ye away from the villagers.

The county seat is bigger than the town, but it’s not very big. The county seat belongs to the relatively poor county, with only a few streets and not many shops. They are ordinary people.

Su Dalang: "Let's start shopping from the west. Take a look at the prices of grains here. I really need to stock up on some grains at home. Before I had no money, I was still worried about whether I should take out the dried meat and sell it. But now that we have some money in our hands, let’s spend it to buy some food and let’s talk about it after this winter!”

Doing business is not the first priority in Su Dalang's heart. The first priority is always to fill his stomach. For poor people like them, it would be nice to be able to spend a cold winter safely.

This year's winter is probably longer than before, and people will freeze to death in winter. He has prepared firewood and some meat in advance, but the food is indeed not enough. If it comes to winter, I'm afraid Food prices are still going up, and there are too many people who can't afford to eat. He doesn't want his daughter to eat porridge every day.

Su also followed Su Dalang to stroll on the West Street for nearly an hour. Most of the shops here are stalls set up by ordinary people, and there are also some small shops. Most of the shops sell food. Stalls selling scones...

Su Dalang didn't go to the grain store. He heard that the price of the grain store was higher, so he collected a few catties of grain from some common people on West Street.

Su Dalang: "It's a lot, but I'm afraid it's still not enough. I'll check it later. If it's gone, I'll come back in two days."

Su Ye: "How much more expensive is the price at the grain store than here?"

Su Dalang: "It's three pennies more expensive, but there are not many people selling grain compared to those who come out to sell grain. Most people still choose to buy from grain shops, especially the people on the East Street. They have money in their homes, unlike us country people. , so most of the country people are concentrated on the West Street, and most of the people who live in the town or the county are concentrated on the East Street, but there are also a few people who will go to the East Street. It’s a stall, but the people over there will charge more.”

This is also the reason why some people would rather sell it cheaper on the West Street than set up a stall on the East Street, because the people there will charge more, and they are actually the gangsters in the county.

Su Dalang felt that some headaches were also related to this aspect. If their family really came out to do business, they would have to pay these people a sum of money.

Su Ye: "Then let's go to the East Street to have a look, what kind of business do the shops over there do?"

In fact, she is more inclined to make jewelry or fabrics. If ready-made clothes are only sold to ordinary people, the fabrics will not be very expensive.

Although she has never done it, she has worn it. She has seen styles that people here have never seen. As long as she can draw the shape and ask an embroiderer to help make it, it will not be too bad, of course. This is just an idea, and I haven't found out what the situation of the shops in this county is.

The East Street looks more lively than the West Street. There are occasional people here who are more elegantly dressed. It can be seen that the overall consumption level of the people here is indeed much higher than that on the other side.

There is only one shop selling fabrics on the street, and there are very few ready-made clothes. There are only a few stalls selling jewelry, not even a store. This makes people feel strange. Don't girls in this county buy jewelry?
Su Ye and Su Dalang walked into the only fabric store with doubts. The second child was not very enthusiastic when he saw them coming in, but just glanced at them and beckoned them to choose by themselves.

After all, the two of them don't look like rich people in their clothes. The fabrics bought by common people are very cheap, and the waiter in the shop usually doesn't bother.

Su also looked around carefully. There were basically no expensive fabrics. The price of slightly better materials would probably not be much more expensive, definitely not more than one tael of silver. She also had some concerns about the consumption in this county. Got it.

Only Su Dalang on the side was carefully selecting fabrics for her. Su Ye's clothes were already very old. Su Dalang thought about making her a new suit when he came.

After choosing for a long time, Su Dalang finally gritted his teeth and prepared to pick a piece of satin fabric, but Su Ye reached out and took down the linen beside him.

Su Ye: "Take this. Although we have some money at home, it is our starting fund. Clothes, anyway, we can buy this when we grow up. Let's wear this for now, and I will give you the money I earn in the future." Buy better ones."

Su Dalang sighed, and put the material back with a bit of distress. He also knew that his daughter was right. Although their family had a little money now, since they wanted to start a business, they didn't know how much it would cost. When it comes to money, the poorest thing they usually wear is coarse cloth, but the slightly better one is linen.

Su also bought two pieces of fabric and planned to take it back and give some money to ask the aunt next door to help make it. After all, she didn't know how to make clothes. If she gave money to the aunts in the village to help make it, they would be very willing. Su Dalang also did this before. Yes, give some meat or some money to the aunts in the village to help cook it, and they will have an extra income.

The waiter in the shop saw them picking up two pieces of material at once, and rolled his eyes with a smile. He collected the money and sent them out. Although he bought cheaper linen, it was more profitable for the shop.

Su Ye: "By the way, is there no jewelry store in this county?"

The waiter in the shop was taken aback, he didn't expect this poor looking girl to want to buy jewelry?
"There are no shops that specialize in selling jewelry in the county town. Like the county grandpa and his lady, they go to bigger cities to buy those things. It's not worthwhile to sell jewelry in the county town, and there are too few people who can afford it." , so no one opened such a store.”

The waiter pointed to the small stalls on the street, "Generally, jewelry sellers set up their stalls like this, selling some head flowers that ordinary people can afford."

Su also thanked with a smile. This store sells fabrics. I am afraid that the rich people in this city know better than them. Since no one is doing this kind of business, it means that it cannot continue to open because of jewelry. , in the eyes of others are more expensive, silver is the cheapest.

After Su Dalang came out, he asked in a low voice: "Do you want to make jewelry? But the waiter in the shop just said that it can't continue to do this, and what those people want to buy is also bought at those small stalls!"

Su has also seen the flower headdresses from the stalls. The workmanship and style are not good. Of course she would not make something like this. Of course, it would be very slow to make back the money by selling such things, so Su also needs to do a good job. think about it.
