Chapter 417 433. Asking for help from colleagues 11
“You mean Buzhuang, right?” The old lady breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t just come to compete with her for business. “Then you have to go forward. The street entrance is in front of you. You can see the Red Leaf Cloth Shop there, where they collect embroidery products.”
After the old lady finished speaking, she looked at the basket in her hand with envy. She knew how to show off her handkerchief, that’s really good, every month. Have a certain income.
Chen Yuxi thanked her and took Zhang Yaowen with them, and they went straight to the direction pointed by the old lady. As long as they walked to the main street, they would definitely find the Yamen.
Yun Tutu looked at this place curiously. The road was full of mud and uneven, so you had to be careful when walking.
The houses in this county are much better than those in the countryside, but they are nothing more than brick and tile houses, which are somewhat dilapidated in some years.
When they found Buzhuang, they found that the road here was much smoother, and there were even a lot of cobblestones. Although it was a bit awkward to walk on, it was clean and free of mud.
The group stopped at Hongye Cloth Shop. Chen Yuxi carried a basket and went directly into the store. A middle-aged couple was packing goods at the counter.
Seeing them arrive, he immediately put down what he was doing and greeted them enthusiastically, "Guests, what do you need? We have the latest cloth here, you can take a look at it."
Chen Yuxi, "Madam boss, I have a few Xiupai here, would you like to take them here?"
These embroidered handkerchiefs were prepared by Linshan when Yun Tutu went to Pingyang Marquis Mansion before. There are dozens of them.
Each embroidered handkerchief is different, but all have simple embroidery. Yun Tutu is not used to using handkerchiefs at all, so this thing is kept to come in handy at this time.
"Then I have to take a look at the goods." Seeing that it was not business, the lady boss pushed the boss over and continued working, while she stood there casually.
She has opened a shop here for so long. Although she also collects embroidery products, the ones delivered are ordinary and relatively good embroidery products. She has to enter from Fucheng.
Chen Yuxi first took out two sheets and placed them on the counter. When she saw the white satin, the landlady's face became serious. If she dared to use such a good fabric to make a showkerchief, she should have two brushes. .
She wiped her hands on the corners of her clothes, and then picked up the embroidery. The white handkerchief was embroidered with green bamboo. She had seen such quality in Fucheng, and it was specially designed for official ladies. They can't sell this place, but if this thing is sent to the county government, the county master's daughter will also want it.
“This handkerchief is quite good, and the embroidery work is also very exquisite, but you have also seen that in our small county, it is not easy to sell.
The price I gave is not very high. If you think it's suitable, just stay. If it's not suitable, then there's nothing I can do about it. "
When opening a business, peace is the most important thing. The landlady didn't want to push the price too hard, so she spoke frankly.
“I wonder what price the landlady can offer?”
The landlady spoke honestly, and Yun Tutu nodded secretly, thinking that the deal should be negotiable.
It’s not that they want to earn more or less, but they want to get some information from here.
"I'll tell you the truth, I can only get up to 40 yuan for a handkerchief here. If it's suitable, I'll accept as much as you have.
Don't think I earn anything here either. How much? I am taking a risk. After all, I have never sold such an expensive handkerchief."
Chen Yuxi, "Can the price go up a little bit?"
"Then it depends on how many you have. Is it too much and I can't accept it?" The boss lady noticed that there was another man carrying a load behind her, and she knew that there couldn't be so many handkerchiefs, but the woman in front of her had one in her hand. basket.
“I have 20 handkerchiefs here,” Chen Yuxi opened the cloth on the basket, revealing handkerchiefs of different rust colors inside. The landlady took them over and checked them one by one to make sure there were no problems. Then she said with a smile, "Everyone is a good embroiderer. In this way, I will give you 900 yuan together, no more."
< br>With such exquisite embroidery work, the boss lady also hopes to have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future. The price is quite reasonable.
"Nacheng, thank you boss lady," Chen Yuxi turned to the cabinet on the side, "boss lady, do you have any ready-made clothes for sale here?"
The proprietress carefully put the handkerchief into the cabinet and was counting the coins. When she heard this question, she said without raising her head, "I don't have any ready-made clothes here, but I do have some second-hand clothes, all of which were sent over by the Fucheng pawnshop. 50% new, if you want, I can take you to pick something out.”
People live on a budget, and second-hand clothes are also very popular here. It’s better to buy the fabric yourself. , I don’t know how much I will save.
“I wonder if any children have clothes?” Chen Yuxi pulled Luo Meng forward, “Are there any children as old as her?”
“The little girl really has fewer clothes. ,” the proprietress looked up and said, “Your craftsmanship is so good, you can make a set by yourself and wear it yourself.
I can pull the fabric for you, and the price will definitely be discounted to you. ”
Chen Yuxi looked a little embarrassed. She really didn't have the skills to make clothes.
"This is a relative of ours. He is here for a visit today and will go back later. It's too late to pull the cloth now. Madam boss, please see if you can think of a way." Chen Yuxi quickly made excuses. There is no sincerity here. , we can only do the next best thing and find two sets of replacements for Luo Meng first.
"Okay," the proprietress handed the number of copper coins to Chen Yuxi, got up and led them through the side door to the backyard.
The back here should be the first residence of the couple. There are only three rooms, and one is filled with second-hand clothes.
The proprietress went in and started rummaging around, and found several sets of clothes for her that were about the same height as Luo Meng.
"Well, these are just a few sets. Do you think they suit you?
These clothes are not expensive. You can give me five cents for a whole outfit."
Although these clothes are white after washing , but it’s much better than the patched clothes on Luo Meng’s body, so let’s settle for now.
Chen Yuxi made some gestures and chose two sets that were similar. Then she stopped and kept the two selected sets.
After seeing them make their choice, the proprietress took them back to the counter, took the ten coins handed over by Chen Yuxi, and quickly settled the account.
"Madam boss, can I ask you something else?"
After doing two businesses in a row, the lady boss was in a good mood, "Of course there is no problem, as long as you ask me about things in this county. That’s right.”
“Who is the person in charge of household registration in our county? I lost it and want to apply for it again.”
The landlady frowned and looked at them, “I lost my household registration, why are you so careless?
This is a bit troublesome. What is your household registration? Where? If it’s not far away, don’t bother those gentlemen, just go back to the village chief and try again.”
It's not so easy to find someone to do things for people with two official names. The few hundred pennies they just sold the handkerchiefs for are not enough for those big men to fill their teeth.
"It's a bit far from here. There's nothing we can do about it. Let's go to the county and see if we can find a solution."
