"Well, I'll give it a try then." Yuan Baoshu still chose to follow her sister-in-law's advice. These twelve kinds of printed and dyed fabrics can only be sold in cloth shops in the state capital. The rich people in Guangning County still can't follow suit.
Compared with the state capital, they are afraid that they will not be able to spare the money to buy such expensive cloth.
This price is enough to buy dozens of other pieces of cloth.
Su Yueling asked: "What is the name of this cloth store?"
Yuan Baoshu said: "Jinxiu."
Clear at a glance and easy to remember.
That’s okay too.
This is Yuan Baoshu's business, and she can name it whatever she wants. And Jinxiu is indeed catchy, making it easier to spread the word.
"What about the other five colors of cloth? How much do they cost?"
"Except for the woolen green cloth, everything else sells for five taels." After all, it is a color that has not yet appeared on the market, so there should be no worries about sales.
The cost of these cloths is only one tael, so if you sell them for five taels, it won't be a big problem.
"If the sales are good, I'm thinking about asking people from our village to do the work?"
She only needs to control the dye and the most critical printing and dyeing techniques. This secret method can only be handed over to her confidants. Other steps such as boiling cloth, rinsing, drying, grinding cloth... can be done by hired villagers. There is no technology in these steps.
That said, even if it is leaked, it will not have any impact.
The dyeing shop built by my sister-in-law is so big, but there are currently no more than fifty people working in it, which is really a pity. With just a few people, it would be a dream to make the dyeing shop number one in Daxia.
And if you ask the villagers to work, it will give them a long-term livelihood. After all, you can't let the villagers count on building houses every year to make money.
Su Yueling nodded, "Okay. Let's take a look at the sales situation of these cloths before making a decision."
Yuan Baoshu was extremely excited when she saw that her idea was supported by her sister-in-law. She talked a lot about her ideas with Su Yueling, and her face turned red.
Su Yueling saw that she had been working really hard during this period, and her originally round face was almost thinning into a oval face.
"You must stay in the state capital for a while this time. Remember to bring a cook with you." There is only one escort agency in the state capital. They are all rough guys. The food they cook may be edible, but it is definitely not good.
tasty.
Yuan Baoshu knew that her sister-in-law cared about her, so she nodded, "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."
After discussing with Su Yueling, she prepared her things and set off for the state capital on the third day.
Yuan Baoshu hoped to get rid of all this batch of cloth before the New Year so as to recover some money.
On November 8th, a cloth shop named "Jinxiu" officially opened. There is one shop in the prefecture and one in Guangning County. However, the scale of this shop in Guangning County is relatively much smaller.
Yuan Baoshu specifically spread the word that this cloth shop was opened by Yuan Suijun's sister, and also let everyone know that the cloth shop's predecessor was the Wu family cloth shop.
Dozens of beggars who had received copper coins walked through the streets and alleys making noises. Soon, many people in the state capital knew about it.
The Wu family can be said to be a man of the hour. This year, they have provided everyone with a lot of things to talk about after dinner. Even after a few months, everyone still talks about the Wu family's business with ease. Even the storytellers in the restaurants and teahouses are particularly fond of it.
Tell their family’s story.
Wu Xiujie tried to frame Yuan Suijun, but the opponent continued to rise. The Wu family's cloth shop was even acquired by the Yuan family. This has to be said to be a mockery of the Wu family.
This kind of story, in which evil is punished and full of drama, is the most popular gossip among the masses.
Jinxiu, a cloth shop, has just opened its doors and has already made a name for itself.
Many people came over to watch the fun.
Most of the fabric ingots are stored in the warehouse, and only one piece of each type is taken out and hung there as a sample.
These unprecedented brilliant colors immediately shocked the guests who came in.
Jinxiu actually sells colors that are not available on the market, and there are five kinds of them! For other cloth shops, launching a new product would be enough for them to celebrate with gongs and drums.
Looking at the price, the four colors of azure, moon white, scarlet and lotus red are priced at five taels per horse. As for the fur blue color, they are directly priced at ten liang per horse.
This price makes everyone gasp. Isn't it too expensive? Other cloth shops only sell the same fabric for three taels per piece.
Just looking at the color again is really exciting.
"Will these clothes fade after being put in the water?"
The round-faced boy smiled and said, "No. You will know just by looking at it." He winked at another boy, who brought over a basin, and there were five pieces of silk of different colors in the basin.
The man threw the honey locust in and washed it. The water in the basin was still clean, with no sign of fading.
These pieces of cloth were floating in the clear water, and their colors became increasingly bright.
Some people gritted their teeth and said, "Give me a piece of sky blue."
Since there may be a lot of people when it opens, the store not only has a cashier, four clerks, but also people from the escort agency come to help and maintain order.
As they were so tall, they stopped over there, and those who fished in troubled waters would naturally stop thinking.
The clerk cut it out smoothly, and the customers who sold the cloth were still feeling distressed when they paid for it. When they got the cloth, they were delighted. The color is so beautiful, and no other store has it. She wants to make it this year.
The most beautiful flower in the house.
If you buy the first one, there will be a second one.
Driven by this buying and selling atmosphere, more and more people lined up.
Yuan Baoshu looked at the people coming and going in the store, and her heart filled with joy.
She had a flash of inspiration and said: "This batch of cloth will be gone in the store after it is sold out. If you want to buy more, you will have to wait until after the new year."
As soon as these words came out, those who were originally hesitant quickly queued up before talking.
The queue instantly grew longer, stretching dozens of feet.
People have a herd mentality, so when they saw how long the queue was, they came over to inquire about it. When they entered the store and saw the cloths, they also joined the queue.
Yuan Baoshu couldn't help but click her tongue when she saw it. Even the ordinary people in this state capital were much richer than they were in Guangning County.
She pondered for a moment, feeling that the people behind her might have to wait for a long time. Baoshu turned around and ordered people to bring the cooked sour plum soup.
The people who were queuing up soon discovered that the serious-looking escorts had brought a large bucket, scooped a large spoonful of soup from the bucket into a wooden bowl, and handed it to them, "Sour plum soup."
They were stunned for a moment, then took a sip, and their eyes suddenly lit up. This sour plum soup was sour and sweet, making people salivate. It tasted delicious!
In view of the large number of people queuing up, Buzhuang's staff even borrowed a bowl from a nearby inn and brought the drunk bowl to the inn for them to clean. However, the inn was unwilling to charge money and only said that their sour plum soup was really delicious.
It only takes two days to help cook two large pots.
The people who were a little angry at first were immediately relieved by this bowl of sour plum soup.
Usually when they queue up to buy something, no matter how long they wait, no one will give them something to drink. Especially the sour plum soup, which must have a lot of sugar sprinkled in it, and the ebony plums used are also good, so it is so delicious when cooked. They also
It’s not that I’ve never had sour plum soup before, but it’s the first time I’ve tasted it so delicious. I think they use their own secret recipe.
Some people who have bought the cloth will show off the silk and satin they bought to everyone after going out.
After the show was over, the sour plum soup of Jinxiu Cloth Shop was also shown off. It was a masterpiece, and no one else could compare with it.
Some gourmets’ eyes instantly lit up.
What, is there any delicious sour plum soup here? They want to drink it too!
