Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 129
Cui Panpan looked at Rui Jiang's clothes, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

"Madam Qi, I wonder if you want to buy an abacus for your own use, or distribute it to the accountant?"

"Naturally, I will buy a few more for my own use, as well as for the accountant's."

"If so, I have some different recommendations here."

Cui Panpan got up and took down a long wooden box from the shelf behind him.

A row of exquisitely carved abacus is contained in the wooden box.These abacus are smaller than ordinary ones, more convenient to carry around, and are carved with exquisite patterns.

The materials of these abacus are also different, such as camphor wood, rosewood, and stone.

Cui Panpan originally wanted to make copper ones.However, copper metal is a controlled material, and we are worried that copper ware is too special in this era, so let it go.

Cui Panpan suddenly let out a light snort, and reached out to grab one of them.At the same time, Rui Jiang also reached in.But fortunately, the two have different calculations.

What Cui Panpan took out was the rosewood abacus.This abacus was reserved for Han Wu by her, and she probably forgot to take it out.

What Rui Jiang held was a stone abacus.This abacus is made of unique colored stones along the Lijiang River, with naturally formed lines, but unfortunately it is only made of stone rather than jade.

The jade abacus in Lin Xiaoxiao's hand would not be sold if she was killed.

Rui Jiang held the colored stone abacus in his hand and swung it around a few times, feeling very satisfied.

"Madam Qi likes this?"

"I like things that are heavier and easy to use. I also like the patterns of these colored stones."

Cui Panpan complimented: "Madam must be Lianjiazi. I hold this kind of stone, and my fingers hurt when I move it."

Rui Jiang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Cui Panpan, teasingly said: "Look at your body is a little weak, you should practice hard."

Cui Panpan smiled wryly: "I'm born weak, and I'm afraid that if I hold a sword, I won't be able to cut others but myself, so let's forget it."

Rui Jiang snorted softly, obviously despising Cui Panpan.

That's the way it is in this age.Because of the harsh living environment, they often have to deal with wild animals, and people generally practice martial arts.Even the elderly and children can pick up a knife and slash twice at critical times.So people somewhat look down on people with poor physique.

In this regard, Cui Panpan was used to being despised, so he didn't feel angry.She is just lazy.She admitted it herself, so there is nothing to say.

Rui Jiang handed over the abacus to Dongxi.Cui Panpan got another money from Qiushuang.

After selling two orders, Cui Panpan was satisfied and became more patient.Seeing that Rui Jiang had no intention of leaving, she made another pot of hot tea.

Rui Jiang was holding the teacup, and this time his eyes fell on the solar rechargeable lamp on the table next to him.

Cui Panpan's business has become more sensitive.She noticed that Rui Jiang saw the desk lamp, and silently prayed that the other party would not ask to buy it.Because this desk lamp cannot be sold.

"I bought two things from the shopkeeper, but I forgot to ask the shopkeeper's name." Rui Jiang said without mentioning the desk lamp.

Cui Panpan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "I am from the Cui family of Zheng State."

"So it's Mrs. Cui," Rui Jiang nodded, seeming to think of something to write, and asked, "Zheng Guo's Cui family, but the merchant's family's Cui family?"

"Exactly," Cui Panpan said with a dark face, "I am the only one left in my family, and there is no Zheng Guo Cui family in the world."

"The merchant's family is trapped in the court, and most of them will end up like this. If you can survive, you must be a lucky person."

"Just trying to survive."

Cui Panpan has shown that he does not want to mention the past.Rui Jiang didn't ask any more questions.

Rui Jiang put down the teacup, and said seriously: "This time I'm looking for shopkeeper Cui, and I have one more thing to do. I want to buy a few more raincoats made by your shop."

Cui Panpan's eyes lit up: "How much does Madam want?" The mountain delivered [-] raincoats yesterday, excluding the dozen or so reserved for old customers, there are [-] other surpluses.

Rui Jiang pondered for a while and said, "How many do you have in your shop, and how many do I want."

"Here, to tell you the truth, ma'am, apart from the ones already ordered, there are still eighty new items that were delivered yesterday. Madam, are you sure you want them all?"

"There are only so few?"

"It was not expected. I didn't expect that the supply of raincoats would be in short supply, and the stocking in advance was insufficient. However, there will be raincoats in the future, but the production will take time."

"how long will it takes?"

"Even if the embroiderer rushes to work day and night, it will take six or seven days."

In fact, the work of the embroiderer does not need to take too long, it just takes time to brush tung oil on numbness.There is also tailoring, which also requires a construction period.

Cui Panpan used to do the cutting by herself, but now she is too busy, so she taught the old women and daughters-in-law on the mountain how to cut simple.Made a model dummy with wooden stakes, and asked everyone to cut it out with wooden dummy.The raincoat made in this way is more comfortable to wear.

By the way, there are three sizes of raincoats in the Kunlun grocery store: large, medium and small.The small size is worn by children aged eight or nine, the medium size is worn by ordinary people, and the large size is worn by tall people over 1.7 meters tall.At present, due to the rush of the construction period, there are no tricks on the raincoat.

"So long? A raincoat is a good thing. It is much more convenient than a coir raincoat. It can be worn all year round as long as it rains. I don't hide from shopkeeper Cui. I bought a raincoat not only for the members of my caravan, but also for taking it with me. The Song and Qi countries sold more than a hundred pieces."

This is big business.

Cui Panpan also became more cautious: "How much does Mrs. Qi need? Tell me a specific amount."

Rui Jiang raised three fingers.

Cui Panpan: "Three hundred?"

"No, it's three thousand."

Cui Panpan gasped.

Three thousand raincoats.The construction period for one hundred raincoats is seven days.If the work is not stopped, it will take 210 days for [-] raincoats.This is when the raw materials are sufficient and the workers have no accidents.

Cui Panpan immediately realized that his current stock of linen was not enough to produce [-] raincoats.It is almost winter now, and the linen production season is over, so it is almost impossible to receive the goods.

Cui Panpan sighed: "To tell Madam Yu frankly, I can't make the quantity of [-] raw materials on hand, and I can only ship [-] if I pay the full bill, and the construction period will take about one and a half months."

"Too little."

Rui Jiang seemed to be in deep thought, tapping her fingers on the table subconsciously.

"The construction period is long, I can wait. But the quantity of five hundred is not enough."

"That's really helpless. I don't have so much linen on hand, and it's not the season to harvest linen. I'm also a clever woman who can't cook without rice."

"Heh, what a 'good woman can't cook without rice', but I still want three thousand raincoats, what should I do?"

Cui Panpan smiled and looked at Rui Jiang: "I have another proposal, Madam, you can listen to it. Making raincoats is not complicated. Madam Qi needs a lot of raincoats. Buying them from others is worse than making them yourself."

"Oh? Shopkeeper Cui is willing to sell the method of making raincoats?"

"Yes, the method of making the raincoat can be sold."
