A blessed wife leads her husband to wealth and prosperity!

"Shall we discuss the price of this net?" Xu said to Lin He'er. Having done business with the Lin family twice, she had gained some insight. Now, in the Lin family, the little girl had a say in the things she made.

"Aunt Xu, wait a moment. I have another business opportunity I'd like to do with your family." Lin He'er said, lifting the basket she carried with her. She took out several items from it, all bags of different sizes and colors.

What are these things? Looking at the strangely shaped objects that she had never seen before, Xu felt that she was about to have her eyes opened today.

"Auntie, I call these bags. They're for carrying things around." Lin He'er picked up a radish-shaped bag from the counter closest to her and explained. "Bags like this are for children; they can hold snacks or other small items." "This is a woman's bag," Lin He'er said, picking up a flower-shaped bag. "This bag has a small compartment inside; it's good for storing personal items." "This is a man's bag; it's best for carrying money, personal seals, and the like when going out." "And this one..." Lin He'er explained the purpose of each bag in turn.

Looking at the girl across from her, chatting away, Xu felt a little strange. This didn't feel like talking to a child; it felt more like negotiating business with experienced merchants.

Is this really the kind of child an ordinary farming family could raise? If I hadn't known this Lin Niangzi for a long time, I probably wouldn't have believed it. This child seems more like a descendant of a wealthy family. I never expected that such a small farming family would have such a clever girl.

These bags are indeed all novel and practical items. We'll do this business. After Lin He'er finished introducing her masterpieces, Madam Xu nodded eagerly in agreement. Putting everything else aside, the appearance of these bags alone would attract a large number of customers, not to mention their practicality.

I wonder how you plan to sell this bag, young lady? I've never sold anything like this before.

Ms. Xu felt it was inappropriate to set prices for these bags herself, so she thought it would be better to ask the seller.

Lin He'er: Auntie, I put a lot of thought into designing this bag, so we price it differently depending on the style.

Xu Shi: How is it different? Tell me, maid.

Lin He'er: We price according to the simplicity or complexity. For simple round or square bags with simple designs, it's 15 coins per bag. For bags with unusual shapes or special patterns, which are more time-consuming and labor-intensive to weave, the price will naturally be higher, at 30 coins each. As for bags specifically for men, I can make custom-made ones for you, such as embroidering your own small characters, flowers, birds, fish, and insects. The price will be extra.

Wow, isn't this price a bit too high? There are even special custom-made items that require extra payment! Madam Xu thought that the young girl didn't go out often and probably didn't know the prices outside. If she raised the price of the purse she collected for thirty coins, it would be unaffordable for most families.

Lin He'er: Auntie, this price isn't high. Making a simple bag in a rush is fine, but these complex designs take a lot of time, and the intricate craftsmanship is practically impossible to replicate elsewhere. Selling these is practically an exclusive business for you. We can even draw up a contract beforehand: my family will only supply you with our products in this town. We'll also provide new designs every six months, and any bag bought from us will be replaced free of charge within a year if damaged, and repaired free of charge within three years. Don't you think this bag deserves a good price?

Free replacement, free repair? This kind of guarantee after purchase is something I've never heard of before. This girl's thinking is truly extraordinary. If they sell it this way, customers will only think about being able to exchange it for a new one if it breaks, and they'll readily pay. Moreover, this bag is more useful than a purse, and its style is so attractive. Not to mention others, I myself want one of these bags. Look at that flower-like bag, it would attract so much attention if I wore it! If those fashion-conscious ladies saw it, wouldn't they all have one, or even several?

Lin He'er was unaware of what Madam Xu was thinking. If she had known, she would have laughed heartily without any regard for her image. This is what people used to say in her past life: "My wardrobe is always missing a new bag!"

Alright, let's set the price according to what you said, girl. If even a young girl like her has this kind of boldness, then I, a seasoned businessman, can't be intimidated, can I?

Let's not rush to sign the contract today. Auntie, I still need to ask the boss. I heard you say that this business isn't just being done here.

Hearing the question, Lin He'er couldn't help but sigh that those who had been in business for a long time were all shrewd and could extract useful information from her few words! It seemed that she would have to pay more attention to the use of language when talking to people in the future.

Since the other party already understood her thoughts, Lin He'er simply admitted it. "Auntie is right, we're thinking of gradually selling this bag in the county town and the prefectural city later!"

The girl was ambitious, and Xu Shi didn't think she was exaggerating when she heard her idea. Based on her earlier prediction about the bag, this item was sure to be a huge hit!

To be honest, our boss has more than just this one shop. He owns shops in county towns, prefectural cities, and even the capital. This is the smallest shop he owns. If you want to sell your goods further afield, you don't need to go to great lengths; we can continue doing business with you!

Wow, I never expected that Madam Xu wasn't the owner of the embroidery shop. The owner is someone else, and judging from their background, they're quite influential, even owning shops in the capital. Clearly, they're not just a wealthy merchant, but someone with power and influence. After all, not just anyone can do business in the bustling, expensive capital.

For the Lin family, doing business with such people is currently entirely beneficial. After all, the other party is a large and powerful family and would certainly not covet what they have. On the contrary, the cooperative relationship between the two parties can provide some convenience to the Lin family.

It's not surprising that Lin He'er had such snobbish thoughts; her family had no powerful connections or backing. In ancient times, where personal relationships were still crucial, these were the things that mattered most in critical moments. Even her fiancé, still a student without official rank, was considered extraordinary; imagine how powerful such a figure would be. Wouldn't he command respect with a stomp of his foot?

Let's listen to Auntie and sign the contract when the big boss comes. I just don't know when the boss will be available.

We urgently need money right now, and we can't wait for that employer for too long!

Xu: The master will be coming to inspect the shop in the next few days. I will have the shop assistant inform him in advance. Today, let's just put away this tassel. Is that alright, girl?

Lin He'er: Of course. She heard it would only be a few days, and they could afford to wait. After both parties agreed on the price of the net and settled the payment, the Lin family and their party had completed their mission in town for the day.
