A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Then she picked up the account book handed to her by Madam Chen and started to look through it. She didn't expect that she could make so much profit by providing embroidery patterns to Jinxiufang.

"Mrs. Chen, is the business of the handkerchiefs made from the patterns we provided so good? I don't even believe what is recorded in the account book."

Zhang Yunyue asked doubtfully.

"Don't worry, that's all the information there is. Can it be fake? Even if it is fake, it will be less. Who would fake it with more? Don't you think so?

The embroidery samples you provided are selling very well in provincial capitals and county towns, mainly because no one has ever come across such a novel and innovative embroidered handkerchief. The young ladies from wealthy families and official families are scrambling to buy the embroidered handkerchiefs from our Jinxiu Tower.

Especially in the capital, embroidered handkerchiefs are sold for 20 taels of silver each. Those young ladies would be embarrassed to go out without a handkerchief from Jinxiulou. Do you think the business is good?"

"Is it so expensive in the capital? Well, I believe the authenticity of this account book."

After Zhang Yunyue finished speaking, she continued to look through the account book.

Quarter of an hour later, Zhang Yunyue put down the account book in his hand and returned it to Madam Chen.

"Madam, there is nothing wrong with the account book."

"Okay, if there is no problem, I will give you 4140% of the profit, taels."

Madam Chen handed the banknote she had prepared to Zhang Yunyue. Zhang Yunyue took it, looked at it, and put it in his arms.

"Thank you, Madam Chen."

"I can't accept your thanks. I'm not giving you money for nothing. I'm waiting for your tricks every month so that Jinxiufang can make money!"

"Okay, I'll draw the patterns here and we can make money together. Madam Chen, since I've already received my share, I'll leave first and come back to you at the beginning of next month."

"Okay, I'll take you out."

When he reached the door, Zhang Yunyue suddenly remembered that now that the mung bean jelly had been moved to the workshop, there was more free manpower at home, and grandma and second aunt Zhu were not so busy.

It's a good opportunity to buy some cloth for everyone and let grandma and second aunt make clothes for everyone. Ever since the family started the business and made money, we have never bought cloth to make clothes. We were too busy before and no one thought about it. Now it's just right.

Zhang Yunyue turned to Madam Chen and said, "Madam Chen, wait a moment. I want to buy some cloth from your store to make two sets of clothes for my family."

Madam Chen: "Okay, Yueyue, you choose first. With our relationship, I will give you the cost price and not charge you any money. You can choose a few more."

Zhang Yunyue knew that this was Mrs. Chen trying to show her good will. After all, they had to cooperate every month:

"Okay, thank you, Miss Chen."

"Xiu Tong, accompany Yue Yue to select some cloth, and we will calculate the price based on the cost when the time comes."

"Okay, ma'am, Miss Zhang, please come this way." After responding to Madam Chen's words, Yu Xiutong raised her hand to gesture to Zhang Yunyue to walk to the rack where the cloth was.

Zhang Yunyue selected half a piece of navy blue muslin, half a piece of dark purple muslin with dark patterns, a piece of gray muslin, a piece of blue muslin with floral patterns, a piece of cyan muslin, half a piece of emerald green muslin with floral patterns, and half a piece of light yellow muslin with floral patterns. She also selected three pieces of white muslin to make lining.

"Sister Xiutong, I want the ones I just selected. These ones only cost half a piece, and the rest are all full pieces. I also want three pieces of white fine cotton cloth. See how much it costs."

"Okay, Miss Zhang, wait a moment." Yu Xiutong cut the cloth Zhang Yunyue mentioned, wrapped it up and handed it to Zhang Yunyue: "Miss Zhang, a total of 1 tael and 6 qian of silver."

"Okay." Zhang Yunyue took out one tael and six cents of loose silver from her purse and handed it to Yu Xiutong, then took the package that Yu Xiutong had placed on the counter.

"Miss Zhang, the money is not a problem."

"Okay, I'll leave first."

"Yeah, come again next time."

Zhang Yunyue came out of Jinxiufang carrying a large bag of cloth.

When we got back to the store, it was already noon and the store was busy again. However, Zhang's father and his friends and the store's helpers had already had lunch before the busy work started.

Zhang Yunyue put the package into the room where she had lived before, and then went to the kitchen.

When Zhang's mother saw Zhang Yunyue, she asked with concern, "Yueyue, are you hungry? I'll make you a bowl of noodles. We've already eaten."

"Mother, I'm really a little hungry. Can you help me get a bowl of noodles with spicy chicken and some pickled cowpea and minced meat?"

"Okay, this combination of sour and spicy, is it delicious?"

"It's delicious. I like it. Hahaha."

Zhang Yu listened to the conversation between Zhang's mother and Zhang Yunyue, then put a bowl of noodles into the pot.

"Sister-in-law, the noodles are ready. Please mix them for Moon Crocodile. She looks hungry."

Zhang Yu handed the noodles in the bowl to Zhang's mother, who took it and quickly added seasoning to it according to Zhang Yunyue's usual preference for noodles.

"Come on, Yueyue, eat quickly!"

Zhang Yunyue took the noodles handed to her by her mother and started eating at the stone table and stone bench in the yard.

After finishing a bowl of noodles, Zhang Yunyue finally felt full.

After eating the noodles, Zhang Yunyue went to the kitchen to help.

By noon, all the food in the store was sold out, and Zhang Yunyue and Grandpa Zhang helped to clean the store.

The helper of the food store and Grandpa Zhang pulled the ox cart and donkey cart out of the backyard, and Zhang Yunyue took the package out of the room where he lived before.

"Father, mother, I'm going to go back first. Xiaofeng will be back soon. Father, tell him that I'll come back to see him in a few days. By the way, I also bought some cloth today. I'll send it to you when Second Aunt and Grandma finish sewing your clothes."

Zhang's mother said, "Okay, okay, go back quickly."

"Then Dad, Mom, I'm leaving first."

After saying goodbye to Zhang's father and mother, Zhang Yunyue went out the back door, placed the cloth package on the donkey cart, and then climbed onto the cart.

When Grandpa Zhang saw Zhang Yunyue getting on the donkey cart, he waved the whip in his hand to make the donkey move.

After leaving the city gate, there were few pedestrians on the official road, so Grandpa Zhang waved the whip in his hand and hit the donkey's back to make it run.

Zhang Yunyue felt that the donkey cart was pretty good. It was faster than an ox and slower than a horse carriage, but it was steady and not bumpy.

"Grandpa, this donkey cart runs really well. It's stable and faster than an ox cart."

"Yeah, I think so too, but since we already have an ox cart at home, there's no need to buy a donkey cart."

"When we have a chance in the future, we will buy a horse carriage. It will run faster, and it will take less than two hours to get to the county town. The last time my father and I used a bullock cart to go to the county town, it took us two or three hours."

As the grandfather and grandson chatted casually, the donkey cart arrived home in a short while. Grandpa Zhang parked the donkey cart at the door of the house. Zhang Yunyue jumped off the cart, and Grandpa Zhang also got off the cart and went to the backyard to get some food for the donkey, and then drove the donkey cart to the workshop.
