Chapter Eleven Hugh Mu

Jiang Miao went out early in the morning. When she went out, Mrs. Xu was still feeling weird, but Mrs. Zhang glared back at her.

Furong Town is already bustling with people selling food and stalls on the streets.

Jiang Miao's stomach growled due to the smell of food. The bowl of glutinous rice she drank in the morning had long been digested.

She tried her best to suppress her greed and went straight to Jinxiu Pavilion.

There were only a few young ladies hanging around in the store. The leading young lady was wearing a skirt made of blue hookah, with a white jade hairpin on her head to hold up her black hair. She was simple yet exquisite. She also looked pretty, with fair skin and lips.

To put it bluntly, judging from her dress, she must be a young lady.

When several people saw Jiang Miao coming in, they just gave her a fleeting look and turned around.

Shopkeeper Qin came out from behind the counter with a smile.

"Mrs. Jiang is finally here."

Customers liked Jiang Miaoxiu's handkerchiefs very much last time, and as soon as they were sold, the demand exceeded the supply. Shopkeeper Qin has been looking forward to her coming these days.

"Shopkeeper Qin." Jiang Miao bowed slightly and handed the handkerchief sachet to her.

"This time we made a total of ten handkerchiefs and eight sachets. Take a look."

Shopkeeper Qin was attracted by the color of the handkerchief at a glance. Jiang Miao only bought white cloth at Jinxiu Pavilion last time.

"This... cloth was dyed by Mrs. Jiang herself?"

Jiang Miao raised her eyebrows, "Exactly."

"This color is so beautiful." Shopkeeper Qin touched the handkerchief. She had seen deep purple and red purple, but she had never seen this smoky purple.

Shopkeeper Qin looked at the colors enough before he saw the design and the sachet. The plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum were elegant, and the handkerchief and the sachet were a perfect pair. You can still smell the fragrance when you get close to it. It was just right and refreshing.

Looking at the white one, the handkerchief is still embroidered with flowers and butterflies. The sachet is made into a lotus shape, with tassels of different colors on the outside. It is small and exquisite.

What Shopkeeper Qin couldn't put down the most was the two handkerchiefs embroidered with kittens, even the down was clearly visible.

"Wonderful, wonderful!" She was reluctant to sell it and wanted to keep it for herself.

Hearing the commotion, several young ladies also looked over, and Xu Zilan fell in love with the kitten handkerchief at a glance.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this veil?"

Jiang Miao recognized the lady who was the leader. She remained silent and watched Shopkeeper Qin answer.

Shopkeeper Qin is indeed a lady from the capital. As soon as her thoughts changed, the smile on her face deepened.

"Miss, you are discerning. There are only two of these handkerchiefs in Jinxiu Pavilion. If you like it, just give me twenty coins." Ordinary handkerchiefs only cost five to ten coins, and these two kitten ones cost one.

Fan.

Xu Zilan didn't care about the extra few cents, so she accepted both items. Jiang Miao originally placed the handkerchief and sachet next to each other, but Xu Zilan couldn't take her eyes away when she saw the patterns of plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums.

She has orchid in her name, and she likes to collect orchid things. This sachet also smells of orchids.

"Is this tip bag scented with incense?" Incense is a good thing. It can only be sold in shops in the capital, and if you don't have some influence, you can't buy it. Even she can only get the incense for a small fingernail, and she usually doesn't want to part with it.

use.

"It contains dried flowers, so it has a fragrance." Jiang Miao said.

"Oh, my lady is very clever."

Xu Zilan was a little disappointed. Sure enough, incense was not something that could be obtained casually. But she also smelled that different tips had different fragrances, and each had its own characteristics of fragrant fragrance.

"What does this smell like?" Xu Zilan picked up two white sachets embroidered with brocade patterns. The smell was slightly bitter, but after smelling it for a long time, she felt refreshed.

"The medicine pack inside can repel mosquitoes."

"Miss, this is a good one. You can wear it for the young master in the academy."

The maid whispered beside her that she was attracted by such a good thing. There were many flowers and plants in the house, and there were also many mosquitoes. She would get bitten several times just walking back and forth. If she had this mosquito repellent sachet, she would be better off as a errand.

point.

"Well, I want all of these."

"Hey!" Shopkeeper Qin was extremely excited, but she was not sure about the price of the sachet, so she could only ask Jiang Miao for help.

Jiang Miao nodded slightly and took the words.

"These sachets and handkerchiefs are sold in pairs, priced at 200 cents per pair. They can be worn on the body or placed in the wardrobe. Although the fragrance does not last as long as incense, the floral fragrance inside can last for two months."

Jiang Miao saw that this lady was not short of money. An ordinary sachet only cost fifty cents, but Xu Zilan didn't even blink when she got four times the price.

Shopkeeper Qin was very happy when he accepted a big customer. He felt more and more that Mrs. Jiang was a capable person.

"The money from selling the handkerchiefs and sachets totals 1,640 wen, and they're all here."

"So much?" Jiang Miao knew how much it cost, but she didn't expect that shopkeeper Qin would give all the money to herself.

"My wife sold this by herself, so I should give all the money to her," Shopkeeper Qin said with a smile.

"Ms. Jiang, are you interested in buying shares? You will get 70% of Jinxiu Pavilion and 30% of what you sell in the future?"

Shopkeeper Qin gave up the small money because she wanted to win over someone big. Her shop is small and her business is average. The embroidery work of the embroiderers in the town is similar and there is nothing new.

The things Jiang Miao sent her twice impressed her. Shopkeeper Qin believed that Jiang Miao must have more unique skills. She was afraid that Jiang Miao would sell it to someone else later, so it would be better to sell it now and get her to join her.

Jiang Miao's eyebrows rose, and she was a little moved. She didn't need to take care of the shop, as long as she delivered the embroidery every month, and then waited for the money.

The two signed the contract, and Shopkeeper Qin was half convinced.

“A pleasure to work with!”

After leaving Jinxiu Pavilion, Jiang Miao went to the drugstore to buy beeswax and other spices. Passing by the meat stall, she spent fifteen cents on two kilograms of short ribs and a piece of pig meat, and then carried a bunch of things home.

Just as he was about to reach the village entrance, Jiang Miao saw Shen Yanqing blocked by a woman on the road.
