If this batch of goods is handed over to Langguang Pavilion, it must be sold for at least twice the price, so that the other party takes 30% and does not suffer a loss. Otherwise, it is better to sell it in Guangfeng Water.
Mu Yan watched her scratching the table with her fingers and had no idea what she was scratching.
I don’t know if he’s just pretending or if he’s serious about it.
Huo Xi glanced at him when she saw him. She wouldn't talk to him anyway, she was just calculating. He wouldn't understand if she told him.
"Can you sell it for twice the price?" Huo Xi asked him, a little unbelievable.
"It depends on how you sell them. If you don't process those jewelry, such as ivory, rhinoceros horn, tortoise shell, pearls, etc., then you may not be able to sell them at a high price if you just sell them like that."
"Do you know what I bought?" Huo Xi looked at him suspiciously.
Mu Yan only said: "The jewelry sold by foreigners is nothing more than those kinds of jewelry." He wouldn't tell her anyway, so Gan San just followed her.
Huo Xi stared at him and didn't see anything, so she had to give up.
She does not have the craftsmen to make ornaments and jewelry, so selling raw materials is indeed not as good as processing them into ornaments and jewelry to sell for a higher price.
"The selling price is less than twice, I only want 20%." Mu Yan gave her some reassurance.
It’s not easy for a little liar, so she got into this business with trepidation. She also wanted to make money to buy Zhuangzi. Nowadays, many people want to raise money to go abroad, and there may be some Zhuangzi for sale.
As long as 20%? Huo Xi nodded: "Okay, let's do it. I'll have someone send the freight over."
"No, my people will go and get it."
"also."
On the same day, Mu Yan's people took these goods back, leaving only more than a hundred pieces of cloth.
"Let's sell these cotton cloths in the shops in the inner city. Also, notify all shops and post the news about the cane sugar harvest. Let's collect a batch of cane sugar." Huo Xi ordered Yang Fu and Shen Qianzhong.
"Ah, all shops have been notified?"
"Shops north of Huai'an do not need to be notified."
Shen Qianzhong and Yang Fu nodded in agreement after hearing this.
"In a few days, I will send another batch of cane sugar to Songjiang, leaving two boats for me. This time, in addition to sugar, I also plan to transport some things to exchange. Shopkeeper Shen, please find a batch of porcelain. Our Jiangnan celadon, There are white porcelain and some shipped from kilns from various places. I want to buy some fine products. It costs about half a boat. I want to buy some silk brocade for the other half."
"Okay." Shen Qianzhong responded.
"Uncle went to look for some ornaments from our dynasty and went back to Qionghua Lane. Last time I asked them to make more velvet flowers and fans. They have been stocking them there without sending them to the shop. I should have saved a lot. Yes. This time we will transport them to Songjiang together."
Hearing Huo Xi talking about fans and velvet flowers, Shen Qianzhong said: "I have already stocked up a lot. I just went to see them a few days ago and asked when you would transport them away. They are all stored in two warehouses. Round fans, folding fans, etc. We made a lot of paper fans, waist fans, and feather fans, as well as a lot of bamboo silk fans that they recovered from Zhuxiang. There are also thousands of velvet flowers."
Huo Xi was very satisfied upon hearing this.
These are all handicrafts from the Wei Dynasty. If they can't be sold at a high price in this dynasty, they might as well be sold to Fan people.
It makes no sense that a Japanese fan in the Wei Dynasty sold for 300 yuan, but such an exquisite fan in this dynasty could not be sold at a high price. In Huo Xi's opinion, the various fans in the Wei Dynasty were much more exquisite than the Japanese fans.
It's just that the smell of rice in another pot is the same, and everyone likes to hunt for novelties. Since the people of this dynasty like Fan things, then transport the things of this Dynasty to the Fan people and sell them.
"Uncle, go to the wood shop and order some better wooden boxes and bamboo boxes, put our velvet flowers and fans in them, and we will sell them to people this time. Tell the ladies and aunts in Qionghua Lane, we
It’s been accepted for a long time, so she can do it as long as she likes it. If anyone knows the craftsmanship, just introduce it to her. If you buy the materials at home and make them, bring them to us for collection. You can also come to us to pick up the materials and make them later.”
"Okay, uncle knows."
After giving the instructions, Huo Xi and Yang Fu went to do the things that Mother Ma had told them.
Following the address given by Mother Ma, the two of them found a shanty town on the east side of the outer city.
A three- or four-year-old girl was sitting on the threshold playing with stones, her expression focused, her two braids swaying as she lowered her head and bent over.
Huo Xi stayed a few steps away, looked at it quietly for a while, then walked over with a smile: "Is your name Xiaonannan?"
Another little girl. Huo Xi looked at her with a smile.
When the little girl heard someone calling her, she raised her head cutely and saw two people standing in front of her. She was a little scared. She grabbed the pebbles on the ground in her hands and held them tightly against her chest, staring at them closely.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here to find your mother. Your name is Xiaonannan, right?"
Perhaps seeing that Huo Xi and the others did not have any ill intentions, the little boy nodded and pointed to the room where the door was opened: "Mom is in the room."
Huo Xi peeked inside through the open door and saw a woman sharpening something with concentration.
When she looked up in that direction, she could see the girl sitting on the threshold.
"Mom, someone is coming!" The little girl got up from the threshold, turned around and trotted towards the courtyard.
The woman raised her head and looked in the direction of the door, took over her daughter, and stood up: "Who are you looking for?"
"Mother Ma from Songjiang asked us to bring you a letter." Huo Xi confirmed her identity, took out the letter from her arms and handed it to her.
The woman lost her guard and was not in a hurry to read the letter. She turned around to get water for Huo Xi and Yang Fu.
"We're not thirsty. Mother Ma said let us wait until you read the letter and see if you have anything to explain."
The woman was stunned and hurriedly opened the letter.
The girl was next to her mother, hugging her mother's thigh, looking up at Huo Xi and Yang Fu curiously.
Huo Xi dug into her arms and took out a few Yitang: "Here, delicious candies."
The girl swallowed, stared at the candy she handed over, and then looked up at her mother. Seeing that her mother didn't speak, she let go of her legs, took two steps, and stretched out her little hand.
Huo Xi knelt down in front of her and said softly: "Do you have a purse for candy?"
The little girl was still holding a stone in one hand, and her other little hand was too small to grab the few candies in Huo Xi's hand. When Huo Xi asked, she lowered her head, looked at her body, and shook her head.
"Then let me give you this purse and let you use it to hold candies, okay?"
Huo Xi poured out the banknotes and coins from the purse in her arms, put them in her arms, freed up her purse, put a few candies in them, and handed them to her: "You're going to call me Nannan, right?"
The little girl was holding her purse in one hand and the stone in her hand with the other. With bright eyes, she nodded to Huo Xi: "Little girl."
"It sounds so nice to call me little Nannan."
Nannan, little Nannan, Huo Xi seemed to have auditory hallucinations in her ears. Someone used to call her that, and her voice was gentle and pleasant.
While Huo Xi was teasing the little girl, Lou Qingyao also finished reading the letter.
He slowly put the letter away and looked at Yang Fu and Huo Xi, who were teasing their daughters.
