After hearing this, Chu Yue immediately said, "If this is the case, I can only cooperate with Sister Shen."
After all, the connections belong to Shen Zhixue, and only by being tied to her interests can this business last long.
Shen Zhixue thought for a while, then looked at Chu Yue, "To be honest with my sister, I have a small powder shop in the county. If possible, I would like to get some warm palace bags from you and sell them in the shop. The selling price will be the same as Your pricing is comparable, what do you think?”
She knew very well that there were many sisters in the family, and her father's thoughts were not all on her and her mother. No one knew what would happen in the future. The only property she held in her hands now was the makeup shop in the county town, just because it had no special features. , usually tepid, after excluding expenses every month, I can only earn three or four taels of silver. This year's performance is not good, and I am losing money every month.
If you still don't think of a way to revitalize it, I'm afraid you will have to sell it to make up for the loss.
Without the support of that shop, my mother's current body would definitely not be able to receive a gift. If she only relies on the two taels of monthly money from the house, her life would be even more difficult.
Chu Yue readily accepted Shen Zhixue's proposal.
"It's better this way. I'm only responsible for shipping, which saves a lot of trouble."
"Yes, sister, give me a price and I will pay you the deposit first."
Chu Yue said while clasping her fingers, "Excluding the cost of medicinal materials, fabrics, and labor, and ensuring a slight profit for myself, I can give Sister Shen a purchase price of two hundred cents per set, and a single medicine package of fifty-five cents." Wen, Sister Shen also knows that the most important thing about this medicinal package is the medicinal materials in it. Only if the effect is good can we retain customers."
"That's natural." Shen Zhixue said after thinking for a while, "I will order one hundred sets with my sister first, with a 50% deposit, and we will pay the balance after the goods are complete, okay?"
Chu Yue nodded, "Sure, but one hundred sets may take some time to finish, so we'll make it ten days."
"good."
The two hit it off immediately, and after drawing up a contract using the pen, ink, paper and inkstone they had just used to write the prescription, Shen Zhixue paid Chu Yue a deposit of ten taels of silver.
In the end, after He Xiang handed Chu Yue the medical fee of fifty taels of silver, she left first because there were still matters to be dealt with within the Shen Mansion.
It was almost noon, and He Xiang was originally going to ask the mansion's carriage to take Chu Yue back, but as soon as they came out of Shen's mansion, they saw Lu Dagui driving a mule cart waiting outside the door.
"Brother Dagui, why are you here?"
After Chu Yue turned around and spoke to He Xiang, she turned around and got on the mule cart. When she entered the carriage, she found that Lu Xinghe was also there.
The moment she saw Lu Xinghe, she beamed.
"Ms. sir, you're here too!"
Lu Xinghe curled his lips, put down the book in his hand, and stuffed the warm round cloth bag in Chu Yue's hand.
"I've been covering it up all morning, and it's still a little hot."
Chu Yue lowered her head and looked into her arms, "This is it?"
"I wanted to warm your hands, but I didn't expect you to come out so late and it's almost cold." There seemed to be a little complaint in his tone.
"I was delayed after discussing something with Miss Shen." Chu Yue smiled and touched the cloth bag in her hand, "It doesn't matter if it's almost cold. I'll be very happy if my husband can bring it to me."
Seeing the satisfied look on the little girl's face, Lu Xinghe also raised the corners of his lips. At this moment, the mule cart had already set off.
"Are you going home next?"
Chu Yue looked at Lu Xinghe, "I received a business deal, I'm afraid I have to go to the cloth shop and the drug store first."
"Since you're not in a hurry to go home, let's eat something to make up for it."
Lu Xinghe said, took out an oil paper bag, unfolded it and handed one of the pancakes to Chu Yue.
Chu Yue was slightly stunned, "Why did you bring dry food with you when you went out today?"
"Take you to a few places."
After Lu Xinghe took out another pancake from the oil paper bag, he handed the remaining one to Lu Dagui, who was driving the mule cart.
Chu Yue gnawed on the pancake in her hand with a puzzled face.
"Ms. sir, where are you taking me?"
"You'll know when the meeting arrives." After Lu Xinghe finished speaking, he looked in the direction of the car curtain, "Dagui, go to Cloth Village first."
"Hey, okay."
Lu Dagui took a big bite of the pancake in his hand and drove the mule cart to Buzhuang.
Because it was a famine year, you had to pay to enter the town. There were few people in the town, so the mule cart traveled smoothly and arrived at the gate of Buzhuang in a short while.
Lu Dagui was a man, and he always ate like a whirlwind, finishing the pancake in just a few mouthfuls.
Chu Yue ate in small bites. After Lu Xinghe had eaten one piece of cake, she still had more than half of it left to eat. Lu Xinghe was not in a hurry to get off the mule cart and said, "Don't be anxious, you finish eating first and then we'll buy cloth." "
Chu Yue nodded while eating, and unconsciously speeded up. After finishing one piece of pancake, she choked and rolled her eyes.
Seeing this, Lu Xinghe hurriedly got out of the mule cart and brought a bowl of warm water after a while.
"Drink some water first."
Chu Yue drank water and finally swallowed the pancake completely.
"Sir, where does this water come from?"
"Ask the boss of Buzhuang." Lu Xinghe took the bowl with one hand and supported Chu Yue's arm with the other.
Chu Yue was supported by Lu Xinghe and jumped out of the mule cart, and saw the shopkeeper of Buzhuang standing at the door of the shop looking at her with a smile.
You don't need to think about it to know that business in Buzhuang is probably not easy to do now.
When I went to the cloth store to buy cloth, the shopkeeper was so busy that he had no time to greet me with a smile.
When the shopkeeper of the cloth store saw the two people coming this way, he hurriedly stepped forward and took the bowl from Lu Xinghe's hand, "Does this girl still want to drink water? I have plenty there."
Chu Yue smiled sheepishly.
"No, thank you shopkeeper. Let's just take a look at the cloth next."
"Hey." When the shopkeeper heard that Chu Yue was going to see the cloth, he immediately became energetic. "We have all kinds of cotton, linen, silk and satin here, in all colors. I wonder what kind of cloth does the girl want to see?"
As he spoke, he led Chu Yue into Buzhuang.
After Chu Yue looked around, she looked at the shopkeeper.
"Does the shopkeeper have cheaper cotton here?"
"Cheaper cotton cloth?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and then said, "I do have some pieces of cloth that have been around for a long time. If the girl is interested, I can show them to you. The price is negotiable."
Chu Yue nodded, "Excuse me, shopkeeper."
The shopkeeper waved his hand and walked to the back of the shop, "Girl, wait a moment."
After a while, the shopkeeper brought in seven pieces of cloth. Perhaps because they had been stored for too long, the original white cloth had begun to turn yellow, but fortunately the color was still uniform.
"Look, girl, if the year had been good, this cloth would have been sold long ago. It usually sells for one hundred and twenty cents a piece, but now it has changed its color. If the girl wants it, it can be sold for eighty-one pieces. you."
Chu Yue stretched the cloth with a little force, and it was still firm. It was no problem to use it as a medicine bag, but the outer straps probably needed to be made of slightly better materials.
Chu Yue stood up and pointed to a thicker piece of fine cotton next to her, "How much does this piece of cloth cost?"
"The girl has such a good taste. This is the best quality muslin in our store. It is soft and skin-friendly. It is most suitable for making underwear. It usually sells for 180 yuan a piece. The girl wants it, but she can't. Take it for one hundred and fifty."
Chu Yue thought for a while and said, "Shopkeeper, I won't bargain with you for this fine cotton cloth. Can this old cloth be cheaper? I want it all at sixty cents a piece."
The shopkeeper was unwilling at first. After all, he didn't want to lose too much. But when he heard Chu Yue said he wanted it all, he was moved again. After all, at this young age, nothing is more important than withdrawing funds.
He couldn't even remember how long it had been since he opened his shop.
The shopkeeper wiped away sad tears from the bottom of his heart, with a mixture of sadness and joy on his face.
"Do you want this muslin girl too?"
Chu Yue nodded, "Two pieces of fine cotton cloth."
"become!"
Seeing that Chu Yue bought a lot of things, the shopkeeper readily agreed.
In the end, seven pieces of old cotton cloth and two pieces of fine cotton cloth cost a total of 720 cash.
Lu Dagui quickly loaded the nine pieces of cloth onto the mule cart, and after the others sat down, he drove the cart and set off.
After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, Lu Dagui stopped the mule cart again and said towards the carriage, "Xinghe, the first place has arrived."
