Jinxin

Chapter 50
People in the village have always known that Ruan Yunsi weaves and dyes cloth. Even though they later bought some for themselves, they thought it was really good, but they didn't take it seriously. Thinking about how a country woman can make a lot of money by doing this?It's better to weave a few bolts of cloth honestly and sell them to support the family.Otherwise, if you spend that money to buy raw silk with dyes, if you can’t sell it, wouldn’t it be a big loss?Can those cloth shops in the city see the cloth in the country?

So no one is optimistic about Ruan Yunsi's career, even the Li family and even the Liu family have tried to persuade her, only Yunniang is okay, and she has always supported her with a clear-cut stand.At this time, everyone saw that the big shopkeeper in the city really came to buy cloth in a carriage.

Ruan Yunsi, shopkeeper Yan and two young men entered the back room, and saw that the kang was piled up with various colored cloths.She took down the top piece of cloth from each pile and handed it to shopkeeper Yan. The old shopkeeper stroked the material carefully with his hands, nodded and said in admiration, "Miss, this skill is really amazing. Not to mention dyeing cloth, this is it." The craftsmanship of weaving is also beyond the reach of ordinary women, you are born to be in this industry."

Ruan Yunsi thought to herself that I also felt that I was born to be in this profession, what is this?In the future, there is still time to surprise you.Just when he was thinking about how surprised the old shopkeeper would be when he wove those colorful brocades in the future, he heard that the old shopkeeper had already ordered the two young men to load the cloth into the carriage.

"Girl's cloth is in the cloth shop. This Gebu is nine cents a meter, and you have thirteen pieces here, which is three taels and seven cents..."

Shopkeeper Yan actually has the potential to be an accountant. As the boys moved the cloth out and reported the number, he quickly counted up beside him. In the end, there were a total of 32 bolts of cloth, including silk and satin. 63 pieces, 37 pieces of linen, [-] pieces of Gebu, Ruan Yunsi should get [-] taels of silver in total.

After finishing the calculation, the old shopkeeper took out a money bag from his pocket, handed it to Ruan Yunsi, and said, "Here is ten taels of silver. As a deposit, the girl will always go to buy raw silk dyes again, and needs capital. The remaining 27 taels, When the cloth is sold out, we will pay the girl in one lump sum, what do you think of this arrangement?"

Ruan Yunsi took the ten taels of silver and felt that she was still dreaming. This is silver, not the old and new copper coins, and there are still 20 taels. After removing the capital, she can at least make a net profit of nearly 20 taels , at this moment, she just felt that the hard work of the past few months was not in vain. You know, 20 taels of silver is not a small amount of wealth for a farmer. It's only two and thirty taels of silver.Now I have earned so much money in only a few months.

At that moment, she nodded and agreed. In fact, not only did Ruan Yunsi feel as if she was in a dream, but even the other villagers were shocked: these were piled on the kang, and even they were worried about Ruan Yunsi, fearing that they would not be able to sell the cloth. , It can be sold for nearly 40 taels of silver, how amazing is this?For a moment, the whole yard seemed to be boiling, and the villagers stopped shopkeeper Yan one after another, asking repeatedly whether the cloth could really be sold for that amount of money?
Shopkeeper Yan saw that the villagers all looked eager to try, and knew that they also wanted to follow Ruan Yunsi's example, so he waved his hands immediately, and when everyone calmed down, he laughed and said, "Little old man knows what the villagers think, it's nothing more than I think that Miss Ruan has earned so much money this time, and you want to try it too. But let’s talk about the ugly things first, and the little old man has been immersed in this industry for 30 years. If you say that Miss Ruan The cloth is so uniform and thick, and the dyeing is so heavy and thick. I have never seen it several times. If the gray cloth you spun can be comparable to Miss Ruan, and the dyeing is not inferior to her, just do it, how many little old men? How much to charge. Just now I tried it with my hands and water. It is rare that the color of these materials is very firm. Even our own cloth factory, the quality of the cloth is not much better than that of Miss Ruan. Folks, you Do you have such ability? If not, I would like to advise everyone, just do what you should do."

One sentence is like pouring a pot of cold water on the hot fire, and immediately extinguished all the enthusiasm of the crowd. Among them, a few joking ones quickly adjusted their mentality, and one person shouted: "Grandma, really!" I didn't expect this thing to be so difficult, and the girls from the Ruan family didn't put much effort into it, so I thought about going back and repairing my loom so that my mother-in-law can also weave."

So the other one laughed and said, "What did you say? Let my sister-in-law weave cloth? You can pull it down, just sister-in-law's rough needlework and weaving. I look at my brother. If you weave cloth, it may be worse Sister-in-law is strong."

Everyone who said a word laughed, so after congratulating Ruan Yunsi one by one, they dispersed.Here Ruan Yunsi put away the money, and began to think about the next steps. First of all, she had to find a helper. It was logical that it was best to have a man, but with her status, how could she keep a man at home?If you are looking for a woman, your strength is a little weak, but you can only make do with it.

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Yunniang shouting outside, she hurriedly walked out, and said with a smile: "Just now everyone came to see the excitement, where did you go? I figured you should come too." After speaking, she heard Yunniang Said: "Hey, don't mention it, my second aunt is seriously ill now, and it seems to be dying. I have to live in the past few days. I will take more than half of the family's money. You can store the rest for me. The rest I don’t care about things anymore. I know you’re busy here today, so I’ll ask you when I come back.”

"Second Aunt? Didn't you usually say that Second Aunt is three hundred miles away? If you go now, even if you are looking for a carriage, you will have to stay on the road anyway? But what letter did you receive?" Ruan Yunsi was very surprised , Seeing that Yunniang only has a small burden on her body, if this is really a long journey, she should prepare more things no matter what.

"It's not from my side, it's the second aunt of my dead ghost. The old man is also pitiful, young and widowed, and has managed to bring up his children, but now he is seriously ill. My uncle and sister-in-law are all filial, and borrowed a lot of money. The money was given to my old lady to treat her illness, but if the illness can be cured, it can’t be cured. Okay, okay, I won’t tell you, I have to go again quickly. When I come back from there, it’s not good to look at, I’m afraid I won’t make it tonight Woolen cloth."

While talking, Yunniang left in a hurry.Ruan Yunsi was left holding the few coins in her hand, watching her hurrying away, she sighed for the family before turning back and entering the house.
