Shopkeeper Qian hurriedly ran outside to check, and sure enough he saw goods being unloaded at the entrance of Fulai Cloth Store.
The materials piled up one after another made him wish he could snatch them all.
What kind of fabric is this? The material and pattern are something he has never seen before.
"Hey, man, what kind of material are you made of? It's very shiny and as thin as a cicada's wings." A person dressed as a maid walked up and asked.
"I don't even know about this. It just arrived today and the shopkeeper hasn't explained it yet."
At this time, Zhao Fulai came out and when he saw the maid, his eyes lit up: "Miss Ziyuan."
"Shopkeeper Zhao, our wife is interested in these materials. How much money is there?"
As soon as Zi Yuan finished speaking, she saw a lady dressed elegantly and luxuriously getting out of the carriage, followed by several maids and women. She looked like a noble lady in the capital.
"Mrs. Zhao, what kind of wind has brought you here!" Zhao Fulai hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "Zhao is not welcoming you from afar, and you are disrespectful and disrespectful."
Mrs. Zhao is the wife of the county magistrate Zhao Wenqing. For ordinary people, how can the county magistrate be seen whenever they want? The county magistrate’s wife is also an amazing person!
"I came to town to do some errands, and I saw your fabric when passing by." She pointed at the fabric being unloaded from the truck and said, "What is this fabric made of? How come it is so novel? I have never seen it before. "
"Madam, this is Yun Ling brocade that was recently made. It is extremely comfortable. Come in quickly and I will explain it to you in detail."
Mrs. Zhao does not like gold and silver jewelry, but she loves clothes very much. Whenever she sees good clothes, she will put them in her pocket.
Ever since her husband's sister gave her some clothing materials from Fulai Cloth Shop, she couldn't help herself. She would buy several pieces of all the clothing materials from this cloth shop as long as they were of high quality.
Liu Qinqin is going to have a haircut ceremony recently, so she must be there. When she passed by, she happened to see new clothing materials, so she must buy some.
Before Mrs. Zhao entered the store, she heard a flattering voice coming from the opposite side: "Hey, when I looked at the carriage from a distance, I thought it was extraordinary. But when I got closer, it turned out to be Mrs. Zhao."
Shopkeeper Qian came forward and saluted, "I'm a little man Qianwen, shopkeeper of Qianqian Cloth Shop. Madam, please greet me."
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Zhao looked worried, turned around and said, "I've never met you, how do you know who I am?"
"The villain's boss is acquainted with Mr. Zhao. When the villain sent new fabrics to his boss, he happened to meet Mr. Zhao and his family as guests at the villain's boss's house. The lady was graceful and luxurious, so the villain remembered her." Although he was humble. Although Mrs. Zhao has followed Zhao Wenqing for many years, she has grown from a young scholar to the position of county magistrate step by step, so she is naturally a good person.
Listening to what he said, his so-called boss must have a higher official position than Zhao Wenqing.
"Shopkeeper Qian has given me a prize, but I don't know who you are talking about..."
"This villain has no talent. Thanks to the appreciation of his employer, he came here to be a little shopkeeper. His employer is Mr. Li, the magistrate of Qingping County."
It was actually the Lord Zhizhou of Qingping County!
Mrs. Zhao was startled. She looked at Shopkeeper Qian and understood what he meant.
Mr. Li is his husband's immediate boss, and it is usually difficult to curry favor with him.
Nowadays, two shops are competing in the street. If she chooses the other shop, shopkeeper Qian will probably wear small shoes for her husband.
"I didn't expect it to be Master Zhizhou's shop. The clothes must be of excellent quality. I happen to be making a few dresses, so I'll go to your place!" Mrs. Zhao looked at Zhao Fulai and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Zhao, I’ll take care of your business next time.”
"Yes, yes, please, madam." How dare Zhao Fulai say no.
Seeing Mrs. Zhao walking into Millennium Cloth Shop, Zhao Fulai had no choice but to turn around and go back.
"This shopkeeper Qian is going too far! He's obviously trying to steal business!" a boy in the store muttered.
"Okay, pay attention to the materials in your hands and work hard." Zhao Fulai thought of Wen Xi's instructions, took the fabric she asked for, and went directly to the dress shop.
He told Wen Xi what had just happened: "Then Mrs. Zhao went to Millennium Cloth Store to buy materials. I'm afraid ordinary people can't afford our materials, which are so expensive!"
"Shopkeeper Zhao, don't worry, I didn't want to sell this batch of materials to people in the town."
Yun Lingjin! That was the source of the goods that she spent a lot of effort to get An Yi to find. She bought them at a high price for weaving, dyeing and embroidery. The cost alone was one hundred taels per piece.
How can ordinary people in the town afford it?
Even in the county, only a wealthy family would be willing to part with it.
After all, in this era, everything is purely handmade, far from being comparable to the cost of modern machines.
There has been a saying since ancient times that embroidery from a certain place is worth millions of dollars.
"If you don't sell it in the town, how can you sell it?" He placed the cloth on the table and whispered: "Miss Wen, this batch of materials was extremely expensive when you received it..."
"I know, I didn't want to sell it here in the first place." She planned to take out this batch of materials when she opened the neon dress shop in the county in the future. After all, the next batch of Yun Ling Brocade will not be available for two years. Do it well.
But she didn't expect that the fabrics in the warehouse were destroyed. Although Nishangfang had prepared some clothing materials, it was far from enough, and the materials from the weaving workshop could not be supplied in time. In order to lure the snake out of its hole, she had to take out this material.
"So what do you mean..." This material was not his in the first place, and he was already grateful for Wen Xi's willingness to help him support the scene.
"You will know why I did this in the past few days."
Wenxi ordered people to cut the material into the size of a handkerchief, and gave a free piece to all customers who made customized dresses worth more than one hundred taels. Not only that, but a whole piece of Yun damask brocade fabric was specially sent to the Liu family.
"What kind of material is this? It's so beautiful!" Liu Qinqin caressed the cloth, looking at the thin material for fear that it would be damaged if it wasn't light enough.
"This is Yun Ling brocade. My girl heard that you were about to hold a haircut ceremony, so she came here to give it to her." Xiao Yu said with a smile.
"Your shopkeeper is really interested." It was also the first time for Mrs. Liu to see Yun Ling brocade, and she was very fond of it: "I wonder how much this fabric is worth? Recently, a distinguished guest came to the house, so I just happened to buy some."
"Two hundred and two horses."
Two hundred taels!
This piece of cloth costs such a high price!
"It seems that we have really accepted your girl's favor." As soon as Mrs. Liu finished speaking, she saw Mrs. Zhao coming from the backyard: "Is this... Yun Lingjin?"
"Madam, that's right." Xiao Yu knew that this was the focus of her girl's attention, so she quickly replied.
"How much is this material?"
"Go back to Madam, two hundred taels per horse."
Mrs. Zhao guessed that the price would not be cheap, but she did not expect it to be so expensive.
"This color is a bit delicate. Are there any other styles?"
"Yes, my slave will bring other colors and styles to you tomorrow."
Want tomorrow?
Mrs. Zhao is impatient. She would like to have such beautiful clothes cut into new clothes right away. How can she wait until tomorrow?
