It seems that this Dongli Trading Company is engaged in fabric business. Guangdan felt a little excited when he thought about it.
Pulling Fang Cuihua to the silk cloth, he asked with a grin, "Uncle, do you have some cloth with a suitable price? Can we take it back to the county town to sell it?"
The middle-aged man who was sweeping the container with a feather duster turned his head immediately when he heard someone asking him questions, and saw a mother and son looking at him with burning eyes.
"Oh? What's your approximate price range? We have both cheap and expensive options in our shop." The middle-aged man said with a smile, holding a feather duster and pointing at the rolls of material on the cabinet.
"Well, the cheaper ones, the ones that don't matter if they have some damages, hehehe." Guangdan said feeling a little embarrassed.
The middle-aged man immediately understood what was said. He looked at the child in front of him seriously and asked with a smile: "Oh, you know all this?"
He did not continue to joke but turned to a boy next to him and shouted, "Xiaotian, take them to the back to have a look."
Lin Xiaoniu, who was standing nearby, noticed what was happening here and immediately followed over. Then the group followed the guy named Xiaotian through a wooden door and walked into the backyard of the shop.
There was a long corridor in the backyard. After passing through the corridor, the waiter Xiaotian took the key and opened a room, which was full of neatly arranged containers.
"This should be the material you need. We have silk and satin. Some of them may have been soaked in water and have some mold spots, and some may have some color errors. Our shop sells goods for its good reputation, so these are generally not sold in the shop."
Xiaotian explained patiently, and then looked at Guangdan and the other two seriously.
Guangdan felt that he saw expectation in the eyes of this guy named Xiaotian. Oh? Expectation?
What Guangdan didn't know was that the task given to their shop in Xiling City was to dispose of these defective products before the spring, collect the money and then wait for new products in the spring.
This is also the reason why the middle-aged shopkeeper was so quick and efficient in letting Xiaotian bring Guangdan and his group here to check out the goods.
"We definitely can't afford silk and satin. Our shop is small and can't sell these fine items, but we can have some silk and satin, and we also want some cotton cloth." Guangdan thought for a moment and said with a smile.
"Okay, please follow me---------"
After saying this, Xiaotian, the waiter, took Guangdan and his group to walk around the containers, and finally stopped in front of a container.
"These are silk and ramie from Jiangnan, oh, that is, satin. These silks got wet during transportation and have some mildew spots. Because most of them are used to make linings, people are very particular about them and don't sell them. You can consider it."
Xiaotian said as he drew a line in front of the container: "These are all. The price is negotiable."
"Can we take it down and feel the material?" Lin Xiaoniu asked in a low voice.
"Okay, I'll do it." After saying that, the waiter Xiaotian took rolls of silk fabrics from the container and put them on the long table.
"Okay, okay, let's take a look first!" Fang Cuihua saw that the boy was very enthusiastic about moving things and immediately stopped him. She was really afraid that if they kept others busy for so long, they would not buy anything.
Guangdan didn't care about all this. He had already stretched out his little claws and was touching a roll of beige satin cloth.
As expected, silk is silk. It is soft, light and thin to the touch. It is the best choice for inner clothing. Wearing silk in summer is very comfortable, and it feels cool and refreshing when the breeze blows.
Looking at the rolls of softly colored silk in front of him, Guangdan felt like his eyes were about to pop out of his head with joy. If the price was right, um, um, then he couldn't take more!
The scholars in the county town will definitely like the thick white color in front of them. Most of the scholars like this kind of elegant color. With a long gown, hmm, not bad!
At this time, Fang Cuihua was attracted by the various red silks in front of her. She didn't know what these colors were called specifically, but she liked them all. In the countryside, when there is a wedding, who doesn't want to have red material? But this is silk!
Fang Cuihua thought it was such a pity. Silk must be expensive and country people couldn't afford it.
Guangdan never thought about whether he could afford it or not, because not all people in the county town could afford silk, and many people wore linen clothes!
"Hey, little guy, how much are these?" Lin Xiaoniu looked at the mother and son in front of him who were already obsessed with the silk and couldn't help but start asking the price.
"One roll of these silks is one bolt, which is four meters long. We sell them for 1 taels of silver." The waiter replied with a smile.
Lin Xiaoniu sucked in a breath of cold air and stared at the huge roll of silk on the table with wide eyes. Four zhang is forty feet, and one foot is 300 coins. A set of clothes for an adult basically requires three or four feet of cloth. So a set of silk clothes would cost one tael of silver.
Hiss, it’s too expensive, really too expensive! ! ! !
"Give us a little discount. There are so many shops here and we chose yours at first sight." Guangdan said excitedly, licking his painful little face.
"This price has been negotiated. It will definitely not be cheap, but if you want more, we can add some extras." The waiter Xiaotian said ambiguously.
Guangdan blinked his eyes, well, this is what a businessman should be like! !
This is the businessman he imagined! !
"Mom, let's get some goods!" Guangdan pulled Fang Cuihua's sleeve and said with a smile.
"Well, give us one roll of each of these three red colors, and one roll of the light cyan and light blue colors here—"
Fang Cuihua gave a brief account of the situation and finished speaking in one breath. Lin Xiaoniu was writing down the details beside her. It had already been seven volumes and the total amount was eighty-four taels of silver.
Seeing that his mother could no longer restrain herself, Guangdan immediately stopped her and said, "Mom, there is still satin! We don't need so many colors of silk. We want three rolls of red, thick white and light blue, and we'll look at the other satins."
Lin Xiaoniu, who was relieved at first, immediately became nervous again when he heard that there was still satin. Although he didn't know how much money his sister-in-law had, he was sure that his Lin family might go bankrupt if things went wrong!!!
"Oh, yes! Then let's continue watching!" Fang Cuihua said excitedly, and walked straight towards the satin.
Lin Xiaoniu finally understood why his son Guangdan loved to spend money on buying things!!! Because he was like his sister-in-law!!!
"My mother knows what's going on!" Guangdan saw his uncle's worried face and reminded him in a low voice.
They had also asked about the prices of these silks in the county town. The materials in the cloth shops in the county town were naturally good, but the silks were basically six or seven hundred coins per foot, which was twice the price here.
Guangdan carefully unrolled the rolls of red silk and found that there were indeed mold spots on them, and the color was not very bright, but the mold spots could be removed. It would just take some manpower and time. By then, even if they only added 150 coins per foot, they would still make money.
Next, the feel of satin is different from that of silk. Silk is suitable for summer, but satin is suitable for winter.
The surface color of silk is naturally soft, but satin has a higher glossiness and better reflective effect, making it very suitable for making winter coats, giving it a feeling of later dress fabrics.
"The silk is thicker and the craftsmanship is more difficult, so the price is a little higher." The waiter Xiaotian said with a smile on his face.
"How much is it?" Fang Cuihua asked uncertainly.
"15 taels of silver per roll."
After the waiter finished speaking, several people had already reached out to touch the satin. Although the colors were good, there were not as many as on the silk. There was only one color, Fang Cuihua's favorite red.
Seeing Guangdan eager to try, Fang Cuihua finally took out three rolls of satin material, vermilion, indigo and ivory white.
All the selected ones were placed separately on a table by the waiter, and then came the cotton cloth. The cotton cloth was more worn out and some had tooth marks from rats. Guangdan was somewhat disappointed when he saw it.
