Buddhist palace maids want to be rich

Chapter 24
Jiang Zhixia was pondering over here, while Shopkeeper Xu was also thinking about it over there.

The air was quiet for a while.

In the end, it was Jiang Zhixia who spoke first: "Shopkeeper Xu is an old shopkeeper for many years. Naturally, he also knows that most of the jewelry nowadays is thick and heavy, not exquisite enough, and the patterns are common. But jewelry made according to my pattern, don't I don’t dare to say more, at least the appearance is novel and unique. As for the materials and price of jewelry, it’s entirely up to Shopkeeper Xu. Shopkeeper Xu only gave 100 taels for this design, isn’t it a little less?” Zhixia smiled. Said.

Shopkeeper Xu saw that Jiang Zhixia was not easy to fool, and he was not embarrassed when he didn't buy the blueprint for 100 taels, he just smiled.

Then, he looked carefully at the appearance on the pattern, "What the girl said is indeed reasonable. However, it is hard to say anything before it is sold. Can everyone accept this pattern? Can you accept this style?" But it's hard to say. After all, everyone is used to the current look. The girl said, isn't it?"

After saying this, shopkeeper Xu was afraid that what he said was too serious, and Jiang Zhixia would not sell it, so he hurriedly asked, "However, since the girl is here, let's discuss it. How much does the girl think is appropriate?"

"Indeed. I also understand. Before it's sold, it's hard to say anything. Well, if I can draw one of this kind of pattern, I can naturally draw ten or twenty. These three are based on 600 taels Let’s make jewelry for you to test the water first. After the pattern, let’s see the effect and then talk about the price. What do you think?” Jiang Zhixia was a little uncertain when Xu shopkeeper said, don’t say, “ideal is very full, reality is very Skinny' right?After all, the result of her investigation is also that she thinks it is very marketable. What if the craftsman is not good at craftsmanship and the effect is not satisfactory, will it really not be sold?

Even though he thought so, Zhixia thought of the market situation he was investigating, and was unwilling to sell it at a low price easily, and wanted to negotiate the price with a glimmer of hope.

Zhixia remembered that when she was in college in the previous life, when she went to department stores or small roadside shops to buy clothes, bags and other items, the prices were always cut in half.

Although it's not buying things this time, but selling things, it's better to just double the price.

It's a big deal, shopkeeper Xu will make a counter-offer.Buying and selling is inherently back and forth.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper Xu thought for a while, and agreed.

He said yes, he said yes. . . .

Jiang Zhixia's mind was not filled with ecstasy, but with humming regrets.

Shopkeeper Xu's promise made Jiang Zhixia regretful, feeling that his asking price was less.

It's like the feeling in the previous life when I made a counter-offer and the shopkeeper immediately said, 'Forget it, I'll bring you one'.At that time, she regretted that she had bid too much.

Now, she began to regret that she asked for a lower price.But there was nothing she could do, after all, she wanted the price.

After Jiang Zhixia and shopkeeper Xu reached a consensus, they simply signed an agreement.

The agreement stated that Jiang Zhixia sold the three designs to Zhu Cuilou at one time, and received 600 taels of silver from Zhu Cuilou.Jiang Zhixia shall not sell these three patterns to others in the future, nor shall he make jewelry based on these three patterns and sell them for profit.

After signing the agreement, shopkeeper Xu asked his staff to call in Qiaoshou Liu, the most senior craftsman in Zhu Cuilou.

After Qiaoshou Liu arrived at the box, shopkeeper Xu handed over the jewelry pattern to him.And ask Qiaoshou Liu to ask Jiang Zhixia directly if he has any questions.

After Qiaoshou Liu took the jewelry pattern, his eyes were full of astonishment.

For craftsmen who have inherited the craftsmanship of making jewelry from their ancestors, they are not afraid of poor craftsmanship, but they are afraid of not being able to find new patterns.Even though Qiaoshou Liu is a skilled craftsman, he has always been troubled by jewelry patterns.

Nowadays, the jewelry in these three patterns breaks the traditional auspicious patterns, and looks playful and cute.

Skillful Liu excitedly asked Zhixia many questions about size, how to inlay, how to match colors and how to weld.

Jiang Zhixia patiently answered one by one in detail.

Skillful Liu got the answer he wanted, so he took the jewelry pattern and went back excitedly to try it out.

Jiang Zhixia took the 600 taels of bank notes and put them in his purse calmly and calmly.But she was very excited in her heart, this is [-] mu of high-quality farmland, more than half of her house in the capital.She can finally go and buy what she wants—of course, buying luxury goods is still hopeless for the time being.

Even so, she kept saying in her heart, "I'm rich, I'm rich."

"So I'm leaving." Jiang Zhixia sold out the designs and had income, feeling very at ease.

"In the future, if the girl has a design, she can still sell it to us Zhu Cuilou." Shopkeeper Xu is also very happy.

Everyone doesn't have a new look, they have.He is optimistic that this jewelry should sell well.

"Okay. It will be prioritized in the future." Jiang Zhixia didn't insist that he would sell everything to his family in the future.

After all, when the jewelry is made and sold, if the response is good, the highest price can get it.

After finishing speaking, Zhixia bowed and said goodbye, put on the veiled hat, and walked out with brisk steps.

Jiang Zhixia walked slowly to the gate of Nanfang, hired a carriage and returned to Feng'an Street.

After getting off the carriage, Zhixia admired the rising smoke, seeing that it was getting late and it was too late to make dinner.I went to the restaurant to pack some food, and walked slowly home.

After returning home, Jiang Zhixia hid the 600 taels of silver note together with the previous house deed and land deed, and then fell asleep happily.

In this way, Jiang Zhixia lived a leisurely life of picking chrysanthemums and seeing Nanshan leisurely under the eastern fence.

Every day, Zhixia gets up early to go to the street to buy some fresh vegetables, fruits, meat, and daily necessities.

Three meals a day are full of smoke and fire.

In my free time, I read books, draw drawings, and occasionally put on my hat and go to teahouses to listen to gossip.

Just like that, more than half a month has passed.

And the weather gradually dissipated the heat and entered a cool August.

After entering August, although it has nothing to do with Zhixia, a big event that has something to do with the other houses in the alley has come—the three-yearly autumn is about to begin.

Qiuwei begins on the ninth day of August and ends on the eighteenth day of August.A total of nine days of examination.

As soon as August enters, the alley becomes very quiet.

Even the children in the alley were restrained by their families from playing loudly in the alley.

After all, Wei Xiucai in the alley, Mr. Wu and Mr. Fan's family all want to participate in the autumn.So in order to create a good environment for them to study and sprint, everyone quieted down unanimously.

Zhixia feels like the modern college entrance examination, the kind where both parents and candidates are nervous.

Aunt Li next door visited Zhixia's house more often.She was afraid that Wei Zhuxian's study would be affected by making noise at home.After all, Wei Zhuxian is 25 this year, if he fails the exam, it will be three years later.After three years, it's hard to say what's going on.

In this way, Jiang Zhixia gradually became acquainted with Aunt Li.
