Chapter 106
Thinking of this, he stood up and said with a smile: "Look, you are all scared, like old quails. Since the girl from the Ruan family said that there is a brocade, how about we go and have a look? Let me tell you, hum! The girl from the Ruan family is very powerful. Quite right, the reason why the cloth is not sold now is not because people dye it badly, but because the big cloth shop in the city took it away as soon as it was dyed."

When everyone heard what Li Baochang's wife said, they stood up one after another, and followed Ruan Yunsi to the utility room. At that time, those machines had been moved to the backyard building for safekeeping. There were still only three looms in the utility room. For the three of Ruan Yunsi, the kang was piled with brocades that had already been woven. Before the security chiefs could take a closer look, they saw the stacks of colorful brocades piled up on the kang, and their eyes immediately widened.

"This brocade is really labor-intensive, so I haven't weaved much in the past few days. There are probably less than a hundred pieces here on the kang. Let's take a look, if you think it's successful, just pick a few and go. You don't need to give them to me." Money, after all, I am also a member of Xiaowang Village, if I don’t have this thing on hand, it’s fine, since I have it, it’s also appropriate to take out a few horses as a lottery.”

The eyes of those security chiefs were already shining now.Li Baochang smiled like a chrysanthemum with an old face, but he still rubbed his hands and pretended to be incredulous: "This...how can this be done? Miss, do you know the price of this brocade? Ordinary brocade, a piece costs 20 taels of silver. Miss this brocade, It seems to be more brilliant than those brocades, at least it can be sold for 25 taels, where can we get it for nothing?"

That's right, this is the price of brocade. Compared with ordinary cloth and satin, the price of brocade is astonishingly high. Even so, who really cares about this little money?There are many wives and concubines in the family, so naturally they have to comfort them one by one, so the sales volume of brocade is only a little lower than that of ordinary cloth.How long can ordinary people wear a set of clothes?If it is broken, put on a patch and still wear it.But in those wealthy families, even the maids have several sets of new clothes a year, let alone the masters?What's more, the cloth of this era is not like the nylon satin of modern times, which is easy to wear and tear. We often see the description of the poor in TV novels, saying that they are wearing patch upon patch of clothes.But try wearing modern clothes, as long as there are no accidents, they won't be worn out for several years.

So the sales volume of brocade was good, but the output could not be supplied. In all fairness, the productivity at that time was really low, and there were few patterns of brocade. In this way, wealthy businessmen, dignitaries and dignitaries still flocked to it, and Ruan Yunsi personally reformed it. Get off your own loom to increase output a bit.It is conceivable that if she really wants to weave tapestry, how amazing the profit will be.No wonder Li Baochang felt embarrassed when she said she didn't want money.

"It's okay. In the past two years in Xiaowang Village, I have been taken care of by the folks. I am here today. I should just take out a few horses." Ruan Yunsi saw the eyes of the security chiefs staring at the brocade. , but they all rubbed their hands a little awkwardly, then smiled and said another sentence.

The security chiefs remained silent.Ruan Yunsi is a woman and a widow, they are big men, and they are also the chief security guards, and they want to take advantage of others. If this gets out, won't they be scolded by the villagers?It's just that such a good brocade, if it is a lottery, it will definitely be a sensation. When the dragon boats are all fighting to be the first, won't the atmosphere be more enthusiastic?This is so interesting.But if you spend money to buy these brocades, it will cost hundreds of taels of silver, right?The security chiefs of them can't afford this money, even if they can, this... this is too heartbreaking.

The security chiefs were in a dilemma, so they heard Li Baochang's daughter-in-law laughing and said: "Okay, okay, since the sister of the Ruan family is sincere, you old men don't have to be coy. I know you want face, but If you want to spend money, can you afford it? Anyway, this is the handicraft of Ruan's sister, and she didn't spend money to buy it, so let's accept this kindness."

Li Baochang glared at his daughter-in-law, thinking that you are talking so lightly, it is really easy to say, this is brocade, brocade, just take it away without paying a penny like this?Just as he was thinking about it, he saw his wife glaring at him, the meaning was obvious: Why are you glaring at me?If you have money, you pay it. If you can’t afford it then, let me see who will fill in the hole for you?Don't count on me.

Ruan Yunsi couldn't help laughing because the two couples were so amusing, she hurriedly pulled Li Baozhang's wife and said, "Sister-in-law, since the Baozhangs are embarrassed to do it, you can pick a few horses for them. It’s time to pick some brighter patterns. Let’s take a look. The pattern with auspicious patterns on the pink background is good, and the brocade with broken flowers on the yellow background is also good. Yes, the pattern with red phoenix tails is also festive and auspicious... "

Ruan Yunsi took Li Baochang's daughter-in-law to look at them one by one, dazzled her, and finally said with a smile: "I look at them all well, since that's the case, just take out two of them." After finishing speaking Sure enough, I moved two horses down casually.

Ruan Yunsi really wanted to do her best, so she couldn't help but take eight more bolts of satin, two kinds of patterns, and stuffed them into Li Baozhang's wife's arms. Ruan Yunsi went happily now.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they left the street gate, they saw a carriage driving towards them, and seeing the brocade they were holding in their hands, the young man driving the carriage couldn't help but frowned, and stopped the carriage drive: "Hey, you guys are holding the brocade in their hands. Did you buy the brocade here?"

After all, these people are also the head of a village. Even if the villagers don’t nod and bow when they see them, they still respect them. When asked by this young man who looks like a clerk at this time, their faces are a little unhappy. I wonder where did this come from?Don't you know how to be polite?who is helloHow many uncles will die if you call them?

Because at that moment Li Baochang said with a cold face: "This is the brocade given to us by the sister of the Ruan family, what's the matter? Do you want to buy it too?"

That guy was Da Mao, because Ruan Yunsi had no news since then, but now several countries came to pay tribute, and those envoys liked silk and porcelain tea from Great Wu Kingdom most, and brocades on the ground of the capital for a while The cloth was sold out, and the price was rising steadily, so there was still a price but no market. The shopkeeper said that he was in a hurry, thinking that Ruan Yunsi had come back to weave brocade?In two months, even if she is slow, the three of them should be able to weave dozens of pieces, right?Anyway, let's sell as much as you have, it's all money, so let Da Mao come over to get the cloth.

As the confidant of Shopkeeper Yan, Damao naturally knows the current price of brocades. Seeing that these people are holding high-quality brocades in their hands, and they are at the door of Ruan Yunsi's house, he just thinks that Ruan Yunsi is selling them in the countryside. Angry and anxious, he secretly complained: "Why are you in such a hurry?"So much cloth is sold in our store, is it still a loss to you?How much money can the brocade be sold to these countrymen?Now in the capital, such brocades cost 30 taels of silver a piece, not to mention that the pattern is still novel, at least you can add another five taels, and you actually sold it cheaply.

As a result, Da Mao's face became gloomy, and he didn't speak. He jumped out of the carriage and saw that the street door was open. He rushed in and shouted: "Miss Ruan, the shopkeeper asked me to get the cloth, good guy, you Do you know how much a piece of brocade sells in the capital now? For a high-quality brocade like yours, at least it can sell for 35 taels of silver."

He yelled loudly on purpose, and the chief security guards hadn't gone far, their hands couldn't help trembling when they heard this, Qiqi turned back to look at the courtyard, with disbelief on his face, secretly thinking what's going on?When did the price increase again?They looked at each other and saw the hesitation on everyone's face: To be honest, if the ten pieces of brocade were really 350 taels of silver, then they would be ashamed to take it as a lottery.

Ruan Yunsi came out of the house, and when she saw a few people standing in front of the street gate, and then looked at the discontented look on Da Mao's face, she understood in her heart, and she also said loudly in a good mood: "How much can it sell for? What? You take as much as I have here, what are you shouting about? Could this money be more important than friendship? Anyway, I have followed your shopkeeper for several years. He is a person who values ​​affection, but you only learned to be mercenary."

The security chiefs understood that this was what Ruan Yunsi told them on purpose, and the sentence "Could it be that money is more important than love?" really made them elated and moved. Bearing in mind the friendship of the fellow villagers, we only thought about taking such a precious thing from others, which was really inappropriate, and it seemed inferior.

Seeing them leaving here, Ruan Yunsi breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Da Mao: "You are usually steady, what did you do just now? The brocade in those people's hands was given by me. Our Liuhuahe For the dragon boat race, several security chiefs pooled their money to buy the lottery, so they wanted to come to me to buy some cloth, how could I ask for their money? Besides, I am happy about this matter, and I forced those brocades to me What do you think of them?"

From the few words Ruan Yunsi said just now, Da Mao knew that what he just did was very inappropriate. Now, when he heard her explain in detail, he couldn't help sticking out his tongue, and said shyly, "I don't know The reason is that I thought it was sold to them by the girl, and I wonder how much they can pay for it? Now that many foreign envoys have come to pay tribute in the capital, all the brocades have been robbed, so the old shopkeeper is in a hurry and asked me to buy it. Come over and have a look, no matter how much the girl knits, let me take it away."

Ruan Yunsi couldn't help laughing and said: "I heard from shopkeeper Yan that he didn't get along well with that shopkeeper Zhong in the capital, and he said with certainty that he would use my spring breeze this year to beat shopkeeper Zhong in terms of performance, why now? Are you helping the other party again?"
