Huo Xi showed him the banknote: "This is one hundred taels. This is all I have."
Then he said: "Don't worry, the source of the banknote is clean. We are not a family without any wealth."
Huo Zhong glanced at it but said nothing. When doing business, the money has been paid, and who has time to care about how you got the money? That is what the Yamen should worry about.
He just nodded without saying a word and turned around to count the number of pieces of cloth on the cart.
Huo Xi put away the banknotes and gold and silver beans, and followed behind, counting them silently.
"There are fifty-eight horses in total. I have made the decision and will only accept you one hundred taels and three golden beans."
Huo Xi frowned. Three golden beans, three taels of gold, equals thirty taels of silver. The cost of that one... is just over two taels of silver.
This price is still far from her base price.
Seeing that she was thinking about it, Huo Zhong said: "This is already the lowest price. I will not sell it to others at this price. I will only transport it back to the embroidery shop and let them cut it out and embroider it into embroidery to sell, and I will not sell it for more than this price."
.”
But in business, credibility is the most important thing. If other businesses know that they use defective cloth to cut and sell embroidery, I'm afraid they will lose the business of a wealthy family. The gain outweighs the loss.
Huo Xi frowned and considered several options, as well as the worst possible outcome.
Then she raised her head and looked at him: "I didn't see the other pieces of cloth. Is the damaged area similar to the piece of cloth just now? If it gets worse, I won't be worth it."
Huo Zhong smiled: "Don't worry, they're all about the same. If any of them are damaged too much, you can take them back when the time comes and I'll pay you back the money."
Huo Xi gritted his teeth and gave it a try. How can one only think about making money and not take risks when doing business?
Then he said to him: "Okay then. Then I want them all."
When Yang Fu heard this, his internal organs clenched tightly. His mouth opened and closed, and he wanted to hold Huo Xi back several times, but he was afraid of ruining her business, and his heart felt like it was fried.
One hundred taels, plus three golden beans.
It wasn't a penny or a tael, it was a hundred and thirty taels! Without blinking an eye, Xi'er bought the cart of fine, moldy cloth.
Oops, I wonder if his sister and brother-in-law would faint from shock if they found out.
Hide it, you must hide it! You can't tell them that Xi'er bought it with his own money.
Or, let's say that they picked up a hundred taels in the city and bought the silk cloth when they saw it was cheap? After all, they picked up the money?
But will his sister and brother-in-law believe it?
Oops, what should I do? Yang Fu's mind was in a mess and he couldn't figure it out. He was anxious in his heart.
Until Huo Xi and Huo Zhong finished the handover and asked two boys to push a trolley to take them to the ferry in the outer city, Yang Fu followed behind in a daze, unable to recover.
Seeing that they were about to arrive at the ferry, they quickly grabbed Huo Xi and whispered: "Xi'er, how are you going to explain to your parents that there are so many pieces of cloth? Or, why don't you just say it's money we picked up in the city?"
Huo Xi had already dealt with it all the way, and whispered to him: "Just say that we are on good terms with Manager Huo and know that I have a way to remove these moldy spots. He left it to me to deal with, and we will make money after selling it."
Split the money.”
Ah, can it still be like this? Yang Fu was stunned.
On second thought, this method was better than finding money as he thought.
He nodded repeatedly: "Okay. That's good." He breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to hide it from his sister and brother-in-law, but he didn't want them to worry about Xi'er either.
When Huo Erhuai and Yang came to pick them up in the boat, they saw a cart of cloth and couldn't recover for a long time.
Until the cloth was loaded onto the boat and the two boys from the Huo Family Store pushed the cart away, the couple still looked like their jaws had dropped to the floor and couldn't close up.
"Oh my god, this is silk, not kudzu!"
These two children are so brave that they sell such precious cloth!
Yang's eyes widened: "Where did you two get the money to collect cloth?"
Huo Erhuai's hands were trembling and he couldn't rock the boat. He looked at this and that, but he couldn't regain his senses.
Huo Xi pushed Yang Fu to rock the boat, pulled him and his wife to sit on the stern of the boat, and told them what they had just said to Yang Fu.
"You don't want to charge? Let us help you handle it first? There are so many servants in the Huo family's shop, so they can't handle it?"
"It's not impossible to deal with it, but I'm the only one who has the means to remove the mold spots, and they don't."
"Then you won't tell him?"
"Sister, you are stupid, this is a secret skill, who would be willing to tell others! They don't spend money to buy it!"
Yang came back to her senses and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I said the wrong thing. Xi'er, do you really have a way to remove mold stains?"
Huo Xi shook his head: "There are several methods, but I haven't tried them yet, so I don't dare to vouch for them. I still have to try them."
"What if it doesn't succeed?" Huo Erhuai was a little nervous.
He had never worn silk clothes in his life, and he didn't even dare to take another look at the noble man wearing silk clothes. But his daughter brought back a boat full of silk clothes today!
Although it has moldy spots, it is still silk! God, it really opened his eyes.
"Don't worry if it doesn't work. We don't spend any money anyway." Huo Xi is a bachelor anyway, so he believed the lie he made up. Anyway, it was given to me for free.
Yang Fu glanced at her and saw that she was looking over, so he quickly looked away. Yes, they didn't spend a penny. Someone sent it to them to try. It doesn't matter if they try it. Once they make money, they can share the money together.
How good. Yes, that's it.
When Mrs. Yang saw the sincerity on their faces, she believed them.
If Xi'er really had a way to get rid of these moldy spots, God, how much would it cost to sell so much silk! Even if it was divided between them half and ten, they would still get a lot of money!
She grabbed Huo Xi's hand nervously: "Xi'er, tell me what to do, Mom will help you!" He stared at her without blinking.
Huo Xi patted her comfortingly: "Mom, scoop out some rice first and find out the rice water. Let's soak the rice water first and try it."
"Just soak it in rice water?" Is that simple?
"Of course it's more than that. When dad goes to the city to sell fish tomorrow and buy some things for me to come back, we can try various methods."
Huo Erhuai nodded: "Okay, what do you want to buy? Tell dad, and he will buy it for you tomorrow." Huo Erhuai looked at the cloth in the cabin, thinking that if he could get rid of these mold spots, he could share it.
How much is it? I can’t help but feel hot.
By then, you can earn the money you need to rent a house in the city during the winter, right?
As a family, they didn't even bother to cook dinner. They were washing basins, washing rice, and soaking it.
Huo Xi got into her cabin, wrote and drew, wrote down all the ways to remove stains and mildew that she had remembered in her previous life, and thought about what to prepare.
There is no special detergent for clothes, so we have to make it home-made.
She knew how to extract alcohol using the traditional liquor method, but she didn’t have the equipment, so even if she barely extracted it, she couldn’t test the alcohol concentration.
So using alcohol to remove it won't work.
Several options were listed.
Until I fell asleep, I was still thinking about this matter in my mind, and my dreams were wrapped in various silks.
Yesterday I checked the content I uploaded in the previous chapter and found that some words were blocked, so I hurriedly checked it in the background. I couldn’t laugh or cry when I saw it. “I want to make other food mai, such as dried shrimps.” The mai and bi were connected together.
