79. The Boss of Cloth Village’s Calculation Frustrated
"Because today is the first time we launch nine colors, ten copper plates per foot can naturally be sold, but the number of people who can buy them is not so wide. Maybe they are all the women of a wealthy family. The women of a wealthy family are basically gated.
If you don't leave the house or take a step, if you stay at home, no matter how beautiful your clothes are, they can only be shown to the maid and the mirror." Haitang explained.
Lamei heard that it made sense and nodded repeatedly.
"We sell five copper plates. Whether they are merchants, Xiaojiabiyu, or big families, the people who come to buy are wide. Look, the girl from the embroidery shop, the girl from the rouge and gouache shop, and the lady boss of the silversmith shop all bought it.
They will not wear it at home every day, but wear it on the street, so that more people will see us dyeing cloth and more people will know about us." Bai Haitang continued.
"Oh, that's it, it means we need to get familiar with each other first," Lamei said.
"That's pretty much what it means. Increasing awareness is also a means of publicity. Let's think of it as an early promotion. If the price is restored to the original price in the future, it might even go up." Bai Haitang said with a smile.
Lamei felt that she had learned something new and was digesting what Sister Haitang said just now.
Bai Haitang was talking just now while staring at the boy buying cloth from the corner of his eye. Finally he saw him walking to Zhengyang Cloth Shop, and he knew in his heart that this was where Cloth Shop came to visit.
If you want to seize this batch of goods from me, it will go up to ten copper coins per foot, and it will double in the blink of an eye. It was a good calculation.
It's a pity that this sweet dream was shattered by Bai Haitang.
"What? Not for sale?" The owner of Zhengyang Buzhuang was really surprised when he heard the boy's true words. "It seems that I really underestimated these two girls. Where did they come from?"
After selling for more than an hour, except for the pink cloth, which was sold out, there was only one and a half feet of other cloth left, which was not enough to make clothes.
Haitang went to the bank and exchanged the integer copper plates for silver notes. Forty taels.
Last time at the market, five pieces of cloth were sold for fifty taels. Now that nine pieces of cloth have been brought so far and encountered bullies and bad people, the total income is only forty taels. Lamei feels a little aggrieved.
Haitang led Wintersweet to the embroidery building, and trimmed the remaining cloth with a few lines of small characters on the edge: Qiaotou Village Haitang Dyeing Workshop. A total of three copper plates were used.
She still had dozens of copper coins on her body. Bai Haitang took Lamei to a nearby tavern for a good meal, which cost eight copper coins. The distressed Lamei only thought about eight buckets of rice. Eight buckets of rice would be enough for the whole family to eat for a month.
Already.
Roast chicken, roast duck, and soy sauce beef are all delicacies found in the county.
"Sister Haitang, if you want to be frugal, it will be a waste if we order so many delicious things." Although wintersweet is delicious, I feel sorry for money in my heart.
"We have worked hard for so long, and this is the first time we have eaten such good food. This is a reward for you. You should feel sorry for yourself. You have 40% of your money in the dyeing shop. This money is temporarily stored in my sister's house." Bai Haitang
explain.
Seeing the delicious wintersweet, regardless of girls' etiquette, Haitang also felt indescribable happiness in her heart. She liked to see her friends and relatives around her happy, and then she would be happy.
No matter how much hardship you suffer or how many grievances you suffer, as long as there is a smile on their faces, you will be happy.
This is Bai Haitang.
When it was time to check out, Bai Haitang asked the waiter to call the shopkeeper over.
"Shopkeeper, the signboard of your restaurant has been damaged by the weather and the sun. It's time to replace it." Haitang pointed out the window.
