Li Xiaonan is anxious to start this great business as soon as possible. The third sister will get married in twenty days. Without the third sister, the difficulty of this business will rise sharply.
Li Yinzhu is a person who does what he says immediately and has a fierce temper.
The next morning, the two of them went straight to the cloth shop to buy the loom from the woman who saw the loom last time - Sister-in-law Gu.
Li Xiaonan encouraged Sister-in-law Gu to talk about the future:
Her business of collecting muslin on credit looms is like a chicken laying an egg and laying an egg. Although the capital is small and the manpower is small at the beginning, the future is unlimited and the future is broad. In the near future, let alone Pingjiang Mansion.
Even in the whole of Jiangnan, Li Xiaonan’s clothing line is one of the best!
As long as Sister-in-law Gu pays the price for the loom, she, Li Xiaonan, will definitely do business with Sister-in-law Gu. From now on, if Sister-in-law Gu’s business relies on her Li Xiaonan’s cloth business, it will surely flourish and be one of the best!
Li Xiaonan and Li Yinzhu agreed on the road, Li Xiaonan gave the lecture, and Li Yinzhu joined in.
But Li A'nan opened a dyeing workshop and made the whole river red with three colors. Li Yinzhu was dumbfounded by Li A'nan's road show. Li Yinzhu stared at Li Xiaonan and couldn't open his mouth to cheer. She just wanted to cover A'nan's mouth and carry her.
Let's go!
Sister-in-law Gu's words ranged from ooh to tut. She put her hands on her hips, tilted her head to one side and then back again, looking at Li Xiaonan who was talking endlessly.
This Nier's eyes are so bright, her smile is so pretty, and she is as sweet and cute as that sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but how can she be so capable of telling lies? How did her parents discipline her when she was a child? Were they reluctant to discipline her?
Alas, if this were her daughter, she would knock her down immediately and give her a good beating!
Sister-in-law Gu rubbed her hands. She felt itchy and wanted to hit this girl!
Li Xiaonan kept talking about how she would be the richest woman in the future, only saying that I am the richest among all the wild places, but Sister-in-law Gu didn't let up at all, even if she lost a copper coin.
Li Yinzhu had long been huddled next to Sister-in-law Gu's loom, pretending to be attentive to the cloth her sister-in-law was weaving. She didn't hear A-nan's nonsense, she really didn't!
"Sister, look, I only have this money, only twenty taels in total. You have to leave some money for me to buy threads, right? Sister, please give it a cheaper price for me." Li Xiaonan took out the twenty taels.
The two taels of silver notes were handed to Sister-in-law Gu.
Sister-in-law Gu weighed up the silver note, held it up, looked at the sunshine carefully, turned it over and looked again, it was indeed a silver note with a red head and gold seal.
"Where did you get so much money?" Sister-in-law Gu asked with a tigerish face.
"I have been saving for many years, and I have finally saved it. Sister, seeing that it is not easy for me to save money, can you make it cheaper?" Li Xiaonan looked pitiful.
"Where did your sister get this bank note?" Sister-in-law Gu leaned over and patted Li Yinzhu, frowning and asked vaguely: "Does your family know?"
She suspected that this little girl had stolen her money from her parents and brothers!
"She saved it and earned it herself." Li Yinzhu quickly replied.
"She earned her own money? Where did she earn her money?" Sister-in-law Gu's eyes widened.
"She has a very clear account, knows how to calculate accounts, and can also teach others how to calculate accounts." Li Yinzhu replied.
"Tsk, the account is clear. Look at how good she is at calculating just now. In just a few words, she counted herself as the richest man." Sister-in-law Gu stuffed the banknotes into Li Xiaonan's hand and looked her up and down.
This little Nier is really dexterous, really good-looking, but she’s so capable of talking nonsense!
"Sister..." Li Xiaonan then begged.
"If you don't have enough money, then buy a three-heddle loom. I'll give it to you at eight and a half taels. Don't bargain with me, it's just this price! Let's do this. Wherever you want to send the loom, I'll find someone to send it to you.
, I’ll pay for the porter, okay?”
Sister-in-law Gu felt her heart soften when she saw Li Xiaonan crying.
"Thank you, sister." Li Xiaonan quickly thanked her.
The porter's money is not cheap, eight and a half taels per piece, and two looms are four to five hundred coppers, which is not a lot.
Li Xiaonan handed the silver note to Sister-in-law Gu, and Sister-in-law Gu weighed a small silver coin in two and a half in front of her face. According to Li Xiaonan's request, the remaining half of the silver was given to her as a string of copper coins.
Li Xiaonan and Sister-in-law Gu agreed to deliver the two looms to the bell mouth of Guoxiang Town on the way to Pingjiang City around 12:00 tomorrow.
From Pingjiang City to Kunshan County, Guoxiang Town is a must-go. Li Xiaonan has passed through Guoxiang Town many times and is very familiar with Guoxiang Town.
There is a market every two days in Guoxiang Town, and tomorrow is a good day for the market.
Guoxiang Town is heading towards Pingjiang City. The entrance of the town is in the shape of a trumpet. It is a place where the young lady and the young daughter-in-law can call friends and chat with others, park their cars and have a rest. It is the most suitable place to carry out her credit loom road show.
Hurrying back to her home in Cailian Lane, Li Xiaonan prepared four deeds for credit looms. The next day, looking at Li Jinzhu, Li Yuzhu went out and came out with Li Yinzhu. They called a car at the intersection of Xueyuan Street and went straight to
Guoxiang Town.
Outside Guoxiang Town, the area around Xiaokou is already very lively.
The cart containing two three-heddle looms had already arrived and was parked among a group of wheelbarrows. It was very conspicuous. It was still far away, and Li Xiaonan saw her loom at a glance.
The loom is shiny and yellow, and the loom with the three-heddle flower box is beautiful and conspicuous. The two looms are surrounded by young girls and young wives, looking at the looms with envy and curiosity, talking and laughing, and occasionally the bold ones
Yes, stretch your arms and touch a few carefully.
This is simply like the stage has been set up and everyone has arrived!
Li Xiaonan smiled brightly when she saw this. She ordered copper coins to pay to the coachman, took out the written lease deed, and rushed over while walking and said to Li Yinzhu: "Watch them move the loom down, don't move it, just
Just put it there."
"Okay." Li Yinzhu followed Li Xiaonan.
Li Xiaonan rushed to the two looms, turned around, faced the curious people gathered around the looms, smiled, waved her arms, and shouted: "Sisters, sisters-in-law, aunts, and mothers-in-law!
"These two! They are three-harness looms that can weave jacquard muslin. They cost ten taels of silver each. I bought these two looms and planned to give them to everyone to make a fortune!"
The lively discussions around him stopped abruptly and became quiet for a moment, then suddenly became lively.
"Which family is this girl from? Where are her adults?"
"What is this little girl talking about? She bought this? How old is this little girl? Where did she get the copper coins? Is this little girl crazy?"
"Sister-in-law Zhang, come on, there's a little girl here who's crazy! Come on, come on!"
"Don't talk nonsense, my dear girl, look at how good her eyes are, she's definitely not crazy."
"Little girl, where are your adults?"
……
The ladies, daughters-in-law, and old ladies all around stopped looking at the loom and gathered around Li Xiaonan to take a fancy to her.
"Everyone, listen to me! I did buy it. If you don't believe me, ask them!
"I am the adult!
"No, no, the loom is for weaving cloth for you..."
Li Xiaonan was surrounded by shouts and inquiries from all directions. Her words were drowned in the high noise, and even she could not hear herself.
"Has this girl lost her mind and gone crazy? Which girl is she from? Has she reported herself to the police?"
"Whose loom does this belong to? I'm afraid it wasn't stolen, right? Oh, this is serious. Have you reported it to the official?"
"Hurry up and report it to the official, it's serious!"
"Li Zheng is here! Give up, give up!"
……
Amidst the noise, under the guidance of one after another, the ladies in charge of the bell mouth stood in front of Li Xiaonan with their brows furrowed.
"The loom belongs to me, and I am the master of my family, as well as my sister." Li Xiaonan explained weakly to Li Zheng.
"You are just a little girl, but you are the grown-up in your family? You are telling lies with your eyes open!" Li Zheng said angrily, looking at Li Xiaonan up and down, "What is your name? Where is your home? What do you want?
What are you doing? Where is your father? Your sister is a little girl like you, she is not an adult!"
"I'm from Pingjiang City. I'm here to sell looms. I just came to take a look. Let's leave now!" Li Xiaonan quietly rolled up the four deeds and retreated to the loom.
One of the two porters delivering the loom was next to the car, and the other had just stood on the car and was about to untie the loom. When Li Yinzhu said that he wanted to pull it back, he said rudely: "Aunt Gu asked us to bring it here, but she didn't say to pull it back again.
If we pull it back again, you will have to pay additional money."
"How much copper?" Li Xiaonan looked at Li Zheng, who was staring at her with a frown, and asked in a low voice.
"You can give me sixty copper coins." The porter jumped out of the car.
"Okay." Li Xiaonan agreed.
Li Yinzhu took a deep breath and felt a throbbing pain in his heart.
This morning, the business was not open, and a hundred copper coins were lost.
Two porters each pulled a loom, and Li Xiaonan and Li Yinzhu followed the cart. They walked back to the cloth shop from Guoxiang Town. It was almost noon.
The two looms could not be sold out on credit. Firstly, they had no place to put them home. Secondly, Li Xiaonan and Li Yinzhu did not dare to bring them home.
They hid it from their families!
Put it in the store, it is considered to be a pile of goods, and you will be charged on a daily basis.
Can only be returned.
What Sister-in-law Gu said is true. If the business is not completed, she can no longer be allowed to pay the porter. Li Xiaonan has to pay for a hundred copper coins.
Li Xiaonan and Li Yinzhu walked all the way back to Cailian Lane. The sun had already set in the west. They were tired and hungry. Li Yinzhu was okay, but Li Xiaonan threw herself on the bed and didn't want to move.
She worked hard for two days and was so exhausted that her whole body fell apart and her feet hurt. There was no progress in business and she lost two hundred copper coins.
