I played as an assistant in ancient times

Yue Jinxuan did not answer, but put away the folding fan in one hand, touched Shen Changsui's sleeve with the other hand, and turned around to look at his classmate.

Today, the Shen family has changed into new clothes in the past few days, in order to achieve the effect of human form display, and it really works.

Shen Changsui was wearing a student's shirt made of fine cloth that was the color of sky blue after rain, with a few clumps of light white bamboo on the cuffs, which made the young scholar look much more handsome.

Yue Jinxuan handed him the folded fan in his hand and said: "You should be holding a folding fan and reciting poems in the mountains.

This coat looks more elegant when you wear it. Did you collect the fabric and dye it yourself? The same ten and a half copper coins per foot?"

Shen Changsui opened the fan to fan the air and slapped the man away, "You must have figured it out. This outfit is made of Songjiang fine cotton cloth, specially used to show off."

"It's not bad, it's not bad. If the cloth you are wearing is sold for ten cents, my cloth will probably be hard to sell." Yue Jinxuan breathed a sigh of relief. He saw that the clothes on the stall were almost sold out. After the Shen family's persuasion, most of the customers were unwilling to wait any longer.

So he suggested: "How about I give you some of my cloth to sell?"

"Thank you, the villagers are reluctant to spend that money." After working all day, a coarse cotton shirt was already a luxury, and it was closer to go home to get cloth. Shen Changsui fanned himself to dispel the heat and asked him:

"Tell me what you want, I'm going home right now to bring you some more cloth."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Xiaoye, wearing a silk flower on her head, ran over from the other side: "Uncle, go back and bring some cloth and the remaining hair flowers, as well as a backpack."

"Right away." He responded and stuffed the fan back into his classmate's arms. He slid into the crowd very neatly and walked a long way away in the blink of an eye.

Shen Cungeng, holding his knapsack, also hurriedly chased after him.

Yue Jinxuan blocked the sun with a fan and asked, "Is your fourth uncle a martial arts master?"

"No, but he is skilled in archery and horse riding." Unfortunately, the old horse in her family died in the winter of the year before last, so she had no chance to ride a horse.

At this moment, the cloth on the stall was sold out and Shen Xiaoye had no stock. After sending the customers away temporarily, she stared blankly, not knowing what to do.

She took the ice drink handed to her by her uncle and drank it in one gulp. She found that the young master of the Yue family had not left yet, and even walked into the shed to stare at some models.

He also asked, "Niece, can my cloth shop use this method of laying out the cloth?"

"Of course you can. Your shop is big, so you can put two more real beds on the second floor, put a set of quilts on them, and then put some large pillows and hang bed curtains. It will be more complete." Shen Xiaoye added enthusiastically.

Yue Jinxuan didn't expect her to really say that, so he clasped his fists and said, "Then I will use what others have said for my own benefit."

"Use whatever you want." This method was not her own, and smart people would understand it at a glance. She asked, "Is this what you came to my uncle to talk about?"

The other party nodded heavily, and he said, "My father and I went up the mountain to deliver something, and we saw the hustle and bustle here. He thought it was interesting and asked me to come and learn from him."

After a brief pause, he took a step closer, covered half of his face with a fan, and whispered, "My father said that your cloth is printed and dyed very well, but it's sold a little cheap.

Niece, there are two more cloth shops in the county town, please pay attention to them."

Shen Xiaoye frowned slightly when she heard this, while Huang Shi tried not to frown. She walked over and separated the two of them and said, "Master Yue, would you like to have a drink?"

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I have to go upstairs to accompany my father. I will come to play with my eldest brother another day." After saying that, he took two steps back and bowed to the Huang couple to say goodbye. Yue Jinxuan walked very quickly because he realized that his classmate's niece was a little girl and he had stood too close to them and offended the elders.

Shen Xiaoye asked again, "I wanted to ask him something more specific, why did he leave in such a hurry? He's so unreliable."

When Huang saw her shaking her head, she couldn't help but look at her husband, who also shook his head gently at her, saying, "The little girl is still very young!"

Not long after this little episode, uncle Shen Changsui and his nephew brought all the remaining cloth. Fortunately, the summer sun was shining brightly, and the cloths hung out to dry were completely dry.

The cloth that was put back on display was more colorful and lighter in color than before. Shen Xiaoye boldly used two raw materials to over-dyed the cloth to create colors such as moon white, ivory white, pink, and lotus red.

However, the light color is just right for making summer shirts, and it soon attracted a lot of people.

When Erniu's parents came over, Shen Xiaoye was so busy that she only greeted them.

The family was busy until a quarter before 1:15 p.m. before they had time to eat lunch.

My uncle naturally invited his hangers-on to the tavern for a drink.

By the time the market closed at 3 p.m., there were only ten rolls of cloth left on the stall, apart from the head flowers and cloth bags.

After returning home, Huang was still a little confused. "I bought all of it with copper coins. I didn't exchange it for food. How come everyone suddenly has money today?"

She knew it well. There were a total of 68 pieces of cloth in her home. Wow, she sold 58 pieces of cloth in one day.

"It's probably because grain prices have gone up since the summer taxes were not collected." Later, fewer people came to buy cloth, so Shen Changsui walked around the market.

"I think it's still a matter of cheap fabrics. The local blue fabric sells for as little as twelve copper coins a foot, while our printed fabric only sells for ten and a half copper coins a foot.

When buying a whole piece of cloth, Xiaoye directly said that it was only ten copper coins. A four-meter piece of cloth could save eighty coins, so anyone would choose the cheaper one. Shen Cungeng brought out a basket of copper coins and said, "Count them and see how much you have earned."

Counting money is a joyful thing. After sorting out the strings of copper coins and broken pieces, Shen Xiaoye announced, "I have a lot of hairpins. Now I only have eighty fine cloth hairpins left. I only sold a few backpacks. This piece of money earned me 1,127 coins today.

A total of fifty-eight pieces of cloth were sold, leaving two pieces of fine linen and eight pieces of fine cotton, with a profit of nine ounces of silver and twelve thousand five hundred and two coins.

The total amount of silver converted into silver is 22 taels, 1 qian, 7 fen, and 9 wen. "

"That means the capital has been recovered." Shen Cungeng's eyes lit up, he wanted a share of the dividends.

Huang wanted to rub her forehead, wondering when did this kid become such a money-grubber. Then she saw her husband was still smiling happily and didn't notice that her son's eyes were glowing green.

The old couple also had smiles on their faces. After working hard for half a month, they had made some profit and could continue doing this as a long-term livelihood.

Shen Xiaoye also took the silver from the day before and put it together, "We can calculate everyone's share. I also want to pay back the ten taels of silver I borrowed from my uncle."

Shen Changsui wrote down the account carefully. "If we divide it now, what about the capital to collect the cloth? We must keep enough."

Shen Changshou nodded heavily: "Yes, this is very important. Without the cloth, we will be in a dilemma on the 28th.

Why not go to Xinzhuang again, and this time cross the river to the next county to harvest. I see there are many cotton fields on the other side, so it shouldn’t be difficult to harvest a hundred or so bolts.”

"One hundred horses can be worth a maximum of eighteen taels. Keep twenty taels and divide the rest. Let my little girl pay off her debts first. We can talk about it later when we have money in our pockets." The old man made the decision. Since it was agreed that the profits would be divided into dividends, the money had already been earned and must be distributed first.

Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Shen Changsui didn't say anything else.
