farmer's wife

Chapter 29
There is no way, there are many goods dealers in Shizhou City, and the competition is also great.

These leathers that Xiao Lie sent are all top quality.After a hard trip, no matter if it is sent to the south or the capital in the north, it can earn a lot of money doubled.

It would be great to have a long-term and stable supply of goods.

After the goods had been inspected, Boss Li took over the abacus and paid Xiao Lie himself.

"These cured meats are about the same size. The previous price is 360 yuan for a pheasant, 45 yuan in total; 540 yuan for a rabbit, [-] yuan in total."

"Grey rabbit skin is relatively common, and it takes about 90 pieces of leather to sew together to make a garment. The price is not high. I will give you 55 cash for one piece of leather. This price is absolutely fair!"

Boss Li intends to develop Xiao Lie into a stable source of goods, so he will follow the market price in order not to cheat him, and even give him a few extra pennies.

Xiao Lie watched Boss Li settle the score, he also understood the market price of leather, Boss Li really didn't plan to lower the price.

Boss Li divided the fox skins into two groups, which happened to be Xiao Lie's two and Sun Changming's three.

"Two pieces of taupe leather, this size and color, I will count you one or two; the other three are reddish brown, more popular and easy to sell. The two large ones are worth three, and the remaining small ones are one or two." two."

"The mink fur is more expensive, but it's smaller. I can make a scarf if I collect it here. Let's count it for you." Boss Li dialed the abacus, "The total here is... 11 taels, 830 five renminbi Brother Xiao, let’s see if you’re right.”

Boss Li made a calculation for a long time, and Fu Yan had already figured out the result in his mind when he quoted the price.

Waiting for Boss Li's final report to be the same as her mental calculation, Fu Yan poked Xiao Lie quietly.

After receiving Fu Yan's hint, Xiao Lie knew that the price was right.It was agreed before coming here, and today his wife will settle the score!
"Thank you, Boss Li, the count is correct." Xiao Lie nodded calmly.

Boss Li knew that Xiao Lie was a farm hunter, he didn't expect that he would be so calm and not making a fool of himself suddenly seeing so much money, he couldn't help but think highly of him.

"Okay, since it's right, I'll ask the guy to get the money." Boss Li greeted warmly.

The clerk in the store came over with a wooden tray and put it on the small table.

There are ten taels of silver, one tael of broken silver, eight coins and 35 Wen in the tray.

Xiao Lie checked it and handed it to Fu Yan's basket again.

After the money and goods were cleared, Xiao Lie and Fu Yan also got up and didn't stay for long.They still have to go to the embroidery shop.

Boss Li also got up and sent them out personally: "Brother Xiao, don't worry, next time you have goods, just send them to our shop, and the price is fair!"

Xiao Lie replied politely: "Then next time I'll come to bother Boss Li again."

"Hey, you're welcome! Come often!"

Saying goodbye to the enthusiastic Boss Li, Xiao Lie accompanied Fu Yan to Liji Buzhuang.

Fu Yan took out a small bundle from the basket in her hand, which contained all the embroidery she made, and the rest in the basket was the money received from selling the goods today.

She handed the basket to Xiao Lie: "You take it." The basket is a bit heavy, and it's not that Fu Yan can't hold it. Xiao Lie is safer and more secure.

Xiao Lie took it tacitly, and casually rolled up the remaining sack in his hand and stuffed it into the basket, as if this basket was just for storing sundries.

Going to the market today, Liji Cloth Shop is full of women and girls who come to buy.

Xiao Lie couldn't help but stop.

The shops are all owned by girls and daughters-in-law, so it's not easy for him to squeeze in as a big man.

Fu Yan shook the small bundle in her hand: "I'll just go in, you can find a place outside and wait for me."

There is a tea stall on the left hand side of the shop, Xiao Lie pointed to it and motioned to Fu Yan: "Then I'll sit at the stall and wait for you, you choose slowly, don't be in a hurry."

After Xiao Lie finished speaking, after watching Fu Yan enter the shop, he also sat down on the tea stand with a basket in hand, ordered a big bowl of tea with the old man, and looked at the cloth village in the distance.

**
Li Ji Buzhuang, Fu Yan entered the shop, and finally saw the owner, Mrs. Li, through the crowd.

At this time, Mrs. Li was in front of the aunt, holding a long piece of cloth and introducing it.

Farmers always have thousands of choices when buying a piece of cloth, and Mrs. Li explained their questions gently and patiently.

Seeing Mrs. Li's busy figure, Fu Yan didn't bother her either.She simply browsed carefully the embroidery ornaments in the shop.

Most of them are common handkerchiefs, silk flowers, purses, ready-made clothes, etc.

On the inside of the shop, there is a floor-to-ceiling screen, even if everyone passes by, they will subconsciously stay away from it.

Without him, this screen looks expensive.

The screen is embroidered with groups of brightly blooming peonies, each blossoming red, with clearly visible petals and different shapes.The screen is mounted in a rosewood frame, which is magnificent and beautiful, unlike ordinary products.

Fu Yan walked in and carefully observed the peony embroidery stitches on the screen, they were tight and solid.After she went around and observed it, she realized that it was actually a double-sided embroidery!

"Miss, have you taken a fancy to the treasure of my shop?" Li Ting got away from the crowd just now, and saw a beautiful and familiar young lady looking at the screen. After drinking, she came forward to entertain her.

"This screen was shipped from the Li family, a textile family in the south of the Yangtze River. The huanghuali wooden frame and the Li family's exclusive double-sided embroidery technique, 88 taels of silver, are also very attractive." Li Ting introduced in detail.

"This embroidery technique is really good. I am honored to appreciate this embroidery today." Fu Yan joined in.

Li Ting didn't expect this little lady to buy her family's treasure.She introduced these, not only to entertain Fu Yan who was interested, but also to tell the people around her, and also to promote their Jiangnan Liji's signboard.

"My shop has a full range of types, and the young lady can also see if there are any other embroidery items she is interested in."

"There is no rush to buy. I have some embroidery work that I do by myself. I wonder if Boss Li has time to take care of it."

Fu Yan shook the small bundle in her hand.

Knowing her reason for coming, Li Ting did not refuse.

"Xiao He, I have to go to the backyard first, so you can watch it." Mrs. Li told the lady in charge of the shop, then turned around and led Fu Yan to the backyard.

The shop in front of Liji Buzhuang is large, and the courtyard and wing rooms in the back are not small.

Fu Yan walked around with Mrs. Li, and when passing by a room with an open door, she could still see some embroiderers sitting inside.

The embroiderers also looked up curiously when they saw the host bringing in a beautiful young daughter-in-law.

Li Ji Cloth Village is backed by a family of merchants specializing in cloth and satin business in the south of the Yangtze River. Lady Li is a side branch girl of the Li family. After marrying in Shizhou, she supported the shop.

She will not only transport high-quality cloth embroidery from Jiangnan, but also transport Shizhou's characteristic silk thread cloth back.The Li family relied on this operating model in the Li Dynasty, thus controlling the diversity of supply sources.

So Li Ting's shop also collects embroidery all year round.

Fu Yan first took out four sets of purses, handkerchiefs and silk flowers.

Li Ting glanced at it and couldn't help but put down the cup in her hand.
