Yipin Farmer's Wife

Chapter 546 A Profitable Merchant (4)
Han Chulan's face was still bitter, and she begged: "Aunt Wangfei, even if it's like this, I can't let my niece and daughter-in-law lose so much at once, or I can add another ten, eighty." I like to see her begging, and I also like to hear her say that she can't even drink water. She still smiled, shook her head, and said: "Auntie said, I can only give seventy coins, one more Aunt Qian is gone."

Han Chulan thought for a while and asked, "I don't know how many horses my aunt needs?"

When Princess Chu saw Han Chulan's bitter face, she felt very happy. The mansion usually sells all the fabrics used to make clothes for the servants to her for 150 Wen a piece, and Han Chulan asked for 130 Wen. A piece of cloth itself is cheaper than other cloth shops. Now she only gives Han Chulan 60 Wen per piece, and Han Chulan loses 600 Wen for one piece of fabric. If she wants [-] pieces, Han Chulan will lose six taels of silver, if you want a thousand horses, Han Chulan will lose [-] taels, if you want ten thousand horses, Han Chulan will lose [-] taels!

She asked, "How much do you have in stock?"

Han Chulan replied: "There are fabrics in stock every year, which have already filled the warehouse, with a total of [-] pieces."

"Aunt wants it all."

Princess Chu said proudly.

Princess Chu intentionally wanted Han Chulan to lose several hundred taels of silver. A few hundred taels of silver was not a small amount, and an ordinary family would not be able to earn such money in a lifetime.She only needs to spend 350 taels of silver to buy 650 pieces of cloth, which usually costs at least [-] taels of silver.

However, making clothes for the servants does not require so much fabric. Princess Chu was still thinking about it, she deliberately lowered the price of Han Chulan, and bought all the fabrics in Han Chulan's inventory at once, and then resold them. Go, with her status as Princess Chu, she wants to sell the fabrics, who dare not give her face?
Besides, she will also be lower than the cloth line in terms of price, only selling one hundred Wen a piece, she can also earn thirty Wen a piece.It can not only make a fortune, but also cheat Han Chulan once, causing Han Chulan to lose money.

This is what Han Chulan asked for, who asked Han Chulan to come to her door to look for her brazenly.

Han Chulan's eyes lit up, but the bright spot disappeared in a flash. She was deliberately surprised and couldn't believe it, and asked Princess Chu: "Auntie, are you sure? You really want it all?"

Clothes are made from a piece of cloth. The clothes of the ancient people were more complicated. They were divided into three layers: outer gown, middle gown, and inner gown. One set of clothes requires a little more fabric. If one person makes two sets, he can also make two sets. Clothes for three people, the number of servants in Chu Palace is about 250 to [-], and one bolt of cloth is used to make clothes for two people. If there are [-] people in total, only [-] bolts of cloth are needed. Princess Chu asked for [-] Well, Han Chulan had to pretend to be surprised.

Isn't that what Princess Chu wants to see?

She wasn't stingy either, so she let Princess Chu see her as much as she could.

Seeing Han Chulan's surprised look, Princess Chu felt even more delighted, and she said straightforwardly: "My concubine wants [-] pieces of fabric in your inventory, and all of them are priced at [-] Wen per piece. If you agree If so, this concubine can pay you half of the deposit now, and after I receive the goods, I will settle the rest of the money."

"Aunt Wangfei, is it true that the price can't be increased for my niece and daughter-in-law?"

Princess Chu shook her head, "No more, if you don't want to, then Auntie won't buy any horse from you."

Han Chulan's face was wrinkled into a ball, and she looked very difficult to do. Princess Chu looked very happy, and she wanted Han Chulan to lose a lot of money!Han Chulan thought for a while, and finally said with a look of resignation, "Okay, at the price of [-] Wen per piece, I bought all the [-] pieces of fabric in my inventory to Aunt Wangfei." Finally, she He also praised Princess Chu: "Aunt Wangfei is proud. Compared with you, my niece and daughter-in-law are so poor that they dare not even lift their heads."

Concubine Chu smiled faintly, humming in her heart, you were born as a lowly farmer in the countryside, so naturally you can't compare with this concubine.

"make a deal!"

Princess Chu agreed with satisfaction.

In order to prevent Han Chulan from going back on his word, Princess Chu immediately sent someone to invite the butler of the palace, and ordered the butler to take Han Chulan to the account room to withdraw a deposit of 200 taels, and wrote down a written receipt. After receiving 150 pieces of fabric, Then settle the remaining [-] taels.

Han Chulan had a bitter face, but she actually happily left Chu Palace with 200 taels of silver. She was also afraid that Princess Chu would repent, so she didn't even eat lunch, so she hurried back to the cloth house and ordered people to immediately take the five coins in stock. Thousands of pieces of fabric were immediately loaded into vehicles and sent to the Chu Palace to complete the business.

Concubine Chu thought she had tricked Han Chulan, and she was quick to do things. After receiving the five thousand pieces of fabric from Han Chulan, she paid the remaining 150 taels of silver to Han Chulan. After Lan once again had a sad face on her face, and she left Chu Palace with happiness in her heart, Princess Chu immediately ordered her people to take her post to visit other noble ladies, and changed hands at a price of [-] yuan a horse. They sold the five thousand pieces of cloth that Han Chulan sold to her.

In addition to the 140 bolts left to make clothes for the servants in his own house, the [-] bolts of cloth made Princess Chu [-] taels of silver.

After completing the deal, Han Chulan returned to Ziji Cloth Shop and handed over the 350 taels received to the shopkeeper for entry.It was also at this time that Xingyue asked: "Concubine Shizi, isn't this a big loss for us? This subordinate is still happy to see Concubine Shizi." She glanced at the shopkeeper of Ziji Cloth, and the shopkeeper was also very happy Yes, Xingyue really didn't understand why both of them breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had made a fortune after losing a lot of money.

Han Chulan reached out and took the account book from the shopkeeper, pointed the account book to Xingyue, and said, "I've checked it all, the fabrics in our cloth shop are all at the lowest price, The goods are imported from Songzhou, which has the most cloth and silk. The cloth there is the cheapest in the whole country. The capital only needs 200 Wen, and now I sell it for [-] Wen, and I can earn [-] Wen a horse, and I can earn [-] taels of silver for five thousand horses." Even Princess Chu also made money, but it was still her. Earn a lot.

Xingyue saw the price of the purchased goods before she smiled: "The Concubine Shizi is really a profiteer."

Han Chulan smiled and said, "If we didn't buy our goods from Songzhou, and we didn't buy them at the lowest price, and Princess Chu bargained like this, we really didn't earn anything." It costs 55 Wen to buy goods, and [-] to [-] Wen to buy goods from other places. After including the freight and warehouse rent, it costs between [-] Wen and [-] Wen. Princess Chu gave her That price is either a small profit, a flat cost, or even a small loss.

Because she has read those account books and knows where her goods come from and what the price is, she deliberately lost money to Princess Chu, making Princess Chu think that she was cheated and made her lose a lot of money. buy some.It's just that she didn't expect Princess Chu to buy the [-] pieces of fabric she had in stock at once, saving her from going to other houses to sell them. Not only did she make a fortune, but she also solved a problem.
