Chapter 52 My husband is handsome
There are many customers in the cloth shop choosing fabrics.
Some young women put the cloth on their husbands to show, and some put it on themselves for their husbands to see.
Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing stopped in sync, not because the other couples were very close, but because they were both entering Buzhuang for the first time.
Yan Funing asked in a low voice: "Do you know how many feet of cloth a person has to pull to make a dress?"
Fu Ciyi couldn't help asking: "You are a woman, you don't know?"
"But I have never sewn clothes."
"Then it is even more impossible for me."
< br>The owner of Cloth Shop saw a golden couple coming in from the door. They just stood there chatting and did not come forward.
Seeing that the clothes they were wearing were of great value, I thought they were a big customer, so I greeted them with smiles.
"We have fine brocades and soft tobacco in our shop. Do you two want to take a look?"
Yan Fu was thinking, not knowing how to ask, and she would just laugh at someone else's joke. Anyway, there are a lot of pieces of meat. Then he asked: "Boss, how much does one foot of cloth cost? How many feet of cloth is there in one piece?"
The owner of the cloth shop smiled and asked: "Are you asking about brocade or soft tobacco?"
Yan Funing said, neither humble nor arrogant: "Mianma."
Hearing this, the smile on the boss's face faded a lot.
He was a little surprised. This couple was well dressed. Why did they ask Mianma?
But if you have a business, you definitely want to do it.
After all, there is a cloth shop across the street, and he can make a fortune.
So he patiently introduced: "A piece of cloth is forty feet long. The fine cotton cloth is slightly more expensive. Calculated based on the whole piece, it is 200 Wen per piece. Linen is cheap, 150 Wen per piece. Oh, also There is coarse cloth.”
Yan Funing asked again: “What kind of fabric is coarse cloth?”
"Coarse cloth is also called homespun cloth, and it is also a cotton fabric. The feel is far less good than fine cotton. The price is cheaper than linen cloth, one hundred yuan a piece." The boss led people into the store and introduced the brocade persistently, "Our brocade two Two for one, your husband is handsome and looks good in the clothes."
Yan Funing turned her head and looked at Fu Ciyi, who was tall and handsome beside her.
Many women with husbands in the store even looked at him secretly.
At this moment, Fu Ciyi said: "Let's get one piece of linen and coarse cloth suitable for men, and three pieces of fine cotton suitable for women."
The cloth shop boss didn't see them. Buying silk and satin, but asking for five pieces of cloth at the beginning, is still a big deal.
Then she smiled more cordially: "You really don't care about the fabric next to it?"
Yan Funing thought to herself, Fu Ciyi has fine skin and tender flesh, but he can't let the linen and coarse cloth wear out his skin.
And her skin is particularly delicate, so she should buy muslin.
Thinking of this, she grabbed Fu Ciyi's arm: "Let me speak."
What he just said was that he gave the shop owner the right to choose the color. How?
Everyone has a business philosophy, and they must sell colors with poor sales first.
Fu Ciyi lowered his head and looked at the white and tender hands on his arm...
The arm seemed a little stiff.
It doesn’t matter if you carry it, and it doesn’t mean if you don’t carry it.
If it hangs down, it means she won't be able to catch it. If so, will she cry?
Before he could think about it, Yan Funing had already let go of his arm and took a step forward.
She spread her five fingers: "Boss, we want five pieces of muslin cloth. I can choose the color myself."
The coarse linen cloth was replaced by fine cotton cloth, and the boss smiled kindly. some.
"Okay, pick your own." He raised his hand and pointed towards the wall cabinets one by one, "This row is all fine cotton, in various colors."
I heard something else When a guest called him, he said to Yan Funing and Fu Ciyi: "Take your time, you two. I'll go greet the other guests first."
The two nodded and stood in front of the closet.
“What color do you like?”
Yan Funing looked up and reached out to touch the fabric from time to time.
Fu Ciyi didn't even think about it and said bluntly: "Black." Yan Funing: "Black brocade looks good, but if you choose black muslin, it doesn't look good."
Fu Ciyi: "You choose whatever you want."
Yan Funing: "Then I have made a decision?"
Fu Ciyi: "Yes."
Yan Funing turned around and shouted : "Boss, we have chosen."
The boss handed the customers next to him to the waiter and came to Yan Funing: "Which ones have you chosen? I will help you take them down."
"I want one piece each of indigo, ultramarine, lilac, lotus root, and aqua." Yan Funing leaned closer to him and whispered, "Five pieces of fine cotton are one tael of silver. Boss, can you give me some scraps of cloth? If I make clothes like this, , you can add some embellishments.”
Hearing this, the boss laughed and said softly: “I have seen people bargaining, but I have never seen people buying cloth like you.”
There are many customers, and once you bargain, other customers will follow suit.
If the price goes down in the end, his profit will be less.
If the transaction fails, the customer will run to the cloth shop opposite.
This young lady is really extremely smart. She discussed with him in a low voice and did not directly bargain. It would not hurt to give him a small amount of cloth.
Anyway, there were a lot of scraps of cloth in his cloth shop, so he nodded in agreement.
Take the five pieces of muslin she asked for from the wall cabinet and put them on the counter. He whispered again: "I'll go to the back to get some scraps of cloth. If you want to buy silk and satin next time, you have to come to me. My surname is Wang, and the surname of the one opposite is Wang, don’t get me wrong.”
Yan Funing nodded with a smile: “Okay, Boss Wang.”
The little lady is pretty, smile. His appearance made people happy, and Boss Wang walked much more briskly.
Not long after, he brought out a brown paper bag and placed it on the counter.
“It’s all inside, and they are all the girl’s favorite color.” He patted the paper bag and whispered, “Don’t open it now. It won’t be good for other guests to see it.”
"I know."
Yan Funing nodded, lowered her head and took her purse from her waist.
Before she took off her purse, Fu Ciyi had already placed a tael of silver on the counter.
The owner of the cloth shop collected the money and said with a smile: "Little lady, your husband-in-law has already paid the money."
Yan Funing looked at Fu Ciyi: "You..."
"Pocket collection Get up." Fu Ciyi said quietly, folded the five pieces of cloth, picked them up, and walked away.
Yan Funing took the paper bag and threw it into the backpack, and quickly followed him.
“You earn your money by copying books?”
"Well, I only copied three copies this time, so I didn't make much money."
"You made one or two silver from three copies?"
"One or two and a half."
< br>"That's a lot, but it's a bit hard work." Yan Funing thought for a moment and pointed to the scented wax shop not far away, "Let's go buy candles. Don't damage your eyes."
Fu Ci Yi's steps paused uncontrollably.
He didn't know if what she said was because she cared about him, or because he could make money by copying books, so she said she couldn't damage his eyes?
Yan Funing walked quickly and saw that he was still stunned. She turned her head and called him: "Let's go quickly."
Fu Ciyi took steps again.
The two entered the scented wax shop.
The shopkeeper saw her coming again, this time with a young man, who also held five pieces of cloth.
A family that can buy five pieces of cloth in one go is not too poor.
What's more, this man was so good-looking that she couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and then asked Yan Funing: "Girl, what do you want to buy today?"
