The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

Seeing that he had listened, Lu Qingqing continued:

"You may have to live with us in the city tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and then Goudan will have to be alone at home.

I don't have anything to do today, so you should stay home and spend more time with Goudan, and don't come over."

After hearing this, Da Gen left.

The next morning, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang drove Da Gen straight to Yining County.

As for Goudan, Lu Qingqing sent him to Master Yan.

Now, there are no children in the master's wife's yard, and she is very rare to see the well-behaved Dazhuang.

After the three of them arrived in the county town, Lu Qingqing went straight to the shop where she had bought the loom.

The guy who received her last time recognized her and greeted her warmly.

After Lu Qingqing explained her purpose, the guy became more enthusiastic.

However, when it came to negotiating the price, the guy was in trouble.

The price he sold it to Lu Qingqing and the villagers last time was already his bottom line.

If you want to lower the price further, you can only talk to the shopkeeper.

The guy was smart. After asking Lu Qingqing how many looms she needed, he went straight to the shopkeeper.

When the shopkeeper heard that it was such a large order, he first calculated it and determined the bottom line price before coming out to negotiate with Lu Qingqing.

Negotiating a price is a job that consumes a lot of energy and patience. Lu Qingqing only lasted for two quarters of an hour before she became a little annoyed.

She directly quoted the bottom price in her mind, and acted as if to say, "If you don't agree, I'll go look somewhere else."

Seeing this, the shopkeeper gave up some more profit and wanted to negotiate again.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qingqing got up and walked out.

He secretly cursed the young man for his impatience, but he was reluctant to lose such a big order.

He hurriedly pretended to have suffered a huge loss, and agreed to the transaction at Lu Qingqing's price with a painful look on his face.

Seeing that the price had been agreed upon, Lu Qingqing asked for replacement parts and delivery services for each loom as usual.

Seeing the shopkeeper's positive attitude, she knew that her price might still be a little high.

However, this price is much lower than the price of products of the same quality on the market.

It’s always the case that the buyer is never as smart as the seller!

Because Lu Qingqing wanted a large quantity, the shopkeeper didn’t have enough stock in the store.

He had only delivered more than half of the looms, with six or seven left, which would need to be delivered five or six days later.

Therefore, Lu Qingqing agreed with the shopkeeper to pay the full price for the loom she could take away.

As for the six or seven units to be delivered, only a deposit was paid.

Seven days later, Lu Qingqing came to pay the balance and took away the remaining looms.

The guy followed her throughout the whole process. When he saw that Lu Qingqing had already paid, he hurried outside to contact the delivery truck.

Soon, a group of men pulling carts came over and tied the loom tightly to the carts.

Lu Qingqing and a few others led the way in a horse-drawn carriage, and a line of carts headed towards the factory area in the northwest of the city.

After all the looms were unloaded, they almost filled the entire yard.

Da Gen watched this scene with his eyes wide open.

Yining County is a region rich in cloth production, and he had heard of looms since arriving here.

This loom is a very respectable dowry item in the local area.

When a girl gets married, if her parents are willing to give her a loom, she will be able to hold her head high when she goes to her husband's home.

Therefore, looking at the new looms piled up on the ground, Dagen had no idea how much these looms were worth.

When he moved the loom, he was even more careful, fearing that it would be broken.

After moving the loom to a suitable location, Lu Qingqing asked Dagen to close the door and stay in the yard to watch over the house.

She and Qin Lang went out shopping again.

Compared with looms, there is not much room for compromise in the price of raw materials for weaving silk.

After asking about the prices at several raw material shops in the city, she finally chose a raw material factory not far from her factory.

You know, many shops in the city get their goods from here.

The factory manager knew that Lu Qingqing's factory was not far from them.

And in the future, we will often give you a more favorable price after purchasing the goods.

When they decided on the raw materials, it was almost dark, so the three of them bought some food from outside.

After eating, I went straight to sleep in the new house.

The next morning, the three of them got up, went to a breakfast stall outside to have breakfast, and then started shopping again.

After running around for half a day, I finally got most of the things I needed.

Now, the only thing missing from the entire factory is the staff.

Lu Qingqing thought about it and decided to leave Qin Lang and Dagen to look after the yard while she went back to Baoshan Town.

Today, the looms in the yard, together with the raw materials and various items, are also a considerable fortune.

They did not hide their purchases these past two days from anyone, and if someone was paying attention, they would have noticed.

Before leaving, Lu Qingqing carefully reminded the two to be careful at night.

If something really happens, you must put your own safety first.

On the way back, Lu Qingqing was wondering who would be the most suitable master to teach the female workers in the factory.

Along the way, she gradually selected several lists.

Among them, the best candidates are naturally Zhenniang and Widow Meng.

Although Widow Meng's cooking skills are not the best, she is a kind-hearted person and has a good relationship with her.

If we invite her to teach, she will definitely not hide anything or do anything bad.

Moreover, according to her understanding of Widow Meng.

As long as the salary is right, she can live in the county with her son.

But Zhenniang and the others are different.

Their biggest problem is that all their relatives live in Baoshan Town.

If we want them to live in Yining County to study, they must be separated from their families.

She needs to go back and have a good talk with Wang Demao and the others about this matter.

If they really don't want to, they can let Widow Meng teach them first.

When the time comes, ask Manager Cheng from Suxiu Textile for help.

See if there are any weavers with good skills, please come and teach the female workers.

After returning to Baoshan Town, Lu Qingqing went straight to Widow Meng's house.

In the yard, Widow Meng was weaving silk on a loom.

Accompanied by the creaking sound, Xiao Sanbao sat on the ground next to him and played with stones.

After explaining the whole story to her, Widow Meng didn't even ask about the wages and just agreed to it.
