Mu Yunqing said: "Oh, I didn't ask about this, and I don't know. Otherwise, you can ask Mrs. Wang yourself! I will write you a letter of recommendation, and you can take it."
As he spoke, Mu Yunqing picked up a pen and wrote a paragraph on the paper and handed it to Zhao Ling'er.
"Well, it's better to ask clearly. Since people have to pay, of course the customer comes first." Zhao Ling'er thought as she got in the car.
Entering the backyard of the state capital, Zhao Ling'er saw Mrs. Wang.
She is white and fat, and looks very blessed. Her clothes are also very luxurious, and the gold hairpin on her head dances with her swaying steps.
Mrs. Wang said in surprise: "I didn't expect that it would be such a little girl who helped us connect the bridge!"
After saying that, he shouted towards the back room: "Ruoxi, come out!"
Not long after, a tall and thin girl came out of the back room. She complained to Mrs. Wang and said, "Mom, why are you calling me? I am playing with Adou. If you have anything to say, please tell me!"
Mrs. Wang frowned and said, "What's the point of spending the whole day with a dog? You're getting married next month, and I want to make you a dress that a concubine in the capital would wear. When you get married, I'll put it on and show it to your mother-in-law."
Let her know that we are not easy to bully!"
"Oh, I don't want it. Don't bother me!" Wang Ruoxi said and went back to the back room.
Mrs. Wang seemed to have gotten used to her daughter's attitude. She turned around and said to Zhao Ling'er: "Then make me two sets of clothes. One is the formal dress for Ruoxi's wedding, and the other is for me to wear every day."
"Okay." Zhao Ling'er nodded.
After bidding farewell to Mrs. Wang, Zhao Ling'er thought to herself: So this is the girl who is going to marry Su Yining! She is indeed a talented and beautiful girl. She is so beautiful, has a sense of nobility, is very confident, and has a bit of pride. The two of them are a perfect match.
Well, I should bless them!
Zhao Ling'er smiled slightly and forced herself to feel relieved.
It was getting late when we left Mrs. Wang's house.
She still needs to go to Lin Wan'er's house. After all, she has to make so many sets of clothes herself, and she doesn't know if the money will be enough.
Dong Dong Dong, Zhao Linger knocked on the door of Lin Wan'er's house.
"Who is it?" A middle-aged woman's voice sounded from the door.
"Hello, madam, I'm here to see Lin Wan'er. Is Wan'er at home?" Zhao Ling'er asked with a smile.
She should be Lin Wan'er's mother. She has stern eyes, ordinary clothes but a stern face. It can be seen at a glance that her mother is definitely not someone to be trifled with.
When I saw Lin Wan'er, she was sewing that windbreaker. But she was using brocade.
Although it is different from what I imagined, in ancient times I could only imitate cats and imitate tigers.
"Wan'er", Zhao Ling'er took out twenty taels of silver and handed it to her: "I don't know if these are enough, you take it first."
The cost of 12 sets of clothes may not be enough!
Wan'er didn't refuse, took the money and said: "I really wanted to tell you about this yesterday, but I forgot about it. These clothes are indeed unique in style, but it is also difficult to find suitable materials."
"Also, I thought of a good way. Since the styles of our clothes are very new, we cannot let others know in advance. I asked my other two good friends to only make sleeves or only skirts, and did not let them make a complete dress.
Set clothes. Let them only be responsible for the basic tailoring, so that they don't know what our finished product looks like."
Zhao Ling'er said: "Well, it is indeed a good method."
However, Zhao Ling'er suddenly felt worried: In ancient times, there were no trademark rights, no patent rights, and no brand awareness. I am afraid that these clothes would have many imitators soon after they came out.
It seems that this is not a long-term way to make money!
After returning to the inn, Zhao Linger went to find Zhou You again.
Zhou You has already wrapped everything that should be wrapped in cotton cloth and bought the vegetables.
Zhao Ling'er reviewed the menu with Zhou You again, and she talked her thoughts over with Zhou You.
Zhou You asked: "We have prepared so much, how much does a meal cost for our guests?"
Zhao Ling'er said: "I have tentatively decided on 25 Wen, what do you think?"
"What? Only 25 Wen?" Zhou You asked in surprise: "I usually have more than ten Wen for breakfast. We prepare so many kinds of food and can eat at will for only 25 Wen? And it's still in the Yingbin Building!"
"The fee is too low!" Zhou You said.
"Then how much do you think is appropriate?"
"It should cost at least seventy or eighty cents! People who can live in Yingbin Building are either rich or noble. They are not ordinary people. Besides, our breakfast is so rich in variety, and it is hot and fresh. Twenty-five cents
It’s really too cheap and we can’t make much money.”
Zhao Ling'er nodded and said: "Why not, let's set the price at 45 cents tomorrow and take a look at the situation first. Anyway, we set the price ourselves. If it's higher or lower, we can just adjust it based on the actual situation."
Zhou Youyou said: "That's true."
Oops, I forgot to pick up A Yao again! Zhao Ling'er suddenly remembered and hurriedly turned around and ran away.
This won't work. I've been so busy every day lately, and it's impossible to pick up A-Yao on time every day. It seems like I need to find someone trustworthy to pick up A-Yao every day.
Alas, wait until Wu Ma recovers and discuss it with her.
He hurriedly brought Ayao back, and after eating and putting her to sleep, Zhao Ling'er sat at the table and began to settle accounts.
Today’s expenses are quite a lot!
The carriage fee alone cost 72,032 taels, breakfast cost 8 taels, the medical treatment for Wu's mother cost 120,360 taels, and Wan'er received 20 taels, for a total expenditure of 36 taels and 360 taels.
One hundred and ninety-two articles.
Today’s income: Seventy-five articles of Hu spicy soup.
There were eighty-two, eight hundred and ninety-five coins left yesterday, so now there are a total of forty-four two, five hundred and eighty-eight coins left.
Ah, the money is getting less and less.
Looking back at Wu Ma and A Yao who were lying on the bed, it was okay for three people to squeeze into one bed for one night, but it would definitely not work for a long time!
Let's go ask about the house prices in the city tomorrow. If possible, you can buy a three-bedroom house.
After finishing the cleaning, Zhao Ling'er only felt a soreness in her back.
Looking at Wu Ma and A Yao, she no longer had room to squeeze on this bed.
She went downstairs to ask Zhou You for two quilts, one to spread on the floor and one to cover herself.
Forget it, let's just have one night tonight, we have to get up early tomorrow.
At around three o'clock in the morning, Zhao Ling'er, who was still sleeping, was suddenly awakened by the sound of a bell.
She got up quietly, finished washing, and carefully went downstairs.
She left a note for Zhou You, asking him to find someone to take Ayao to school on time, and Wu Ma to remember to bring her food in the morning.
She quietly walked to the back kitchen, took out all the barrels, baskets, and the vegetables she bought yesterday and placed them at the door, waiting for the coachman to come.
She made an appointment with the coachman yesterday.
Sure enough, the carriage arrived not long after.
It was dark at night, and the only sounds that could be heard were the sound of rolling wheels and the sound of horse hooves on the street.
Zhao Ling'er didn't feel sleepy at all.
"We're here!" The driver slowly stopped the car.
Zhao Ling'er wanted to open her mouth to respond to him, but found that she couldn't make a sound.
After clearing my throat vigorously, I realized that my throat was hoarse and my head felt dizzy. It seemed that my cold had worsened again.
After unloading the things, Zhao Ling'er placed the wooden barrels and baskets on the table in the hall one by one, then carried the vegetables to the back kitchen, washed the cucumbers and radish shreds, and cut the dried tofu into strips, preparing to make pickles.
