The store on the East Street is called Yunxiufang. The location is a little bit out of the way. After getting off the bullock cart, you have to turn into an alley, and the storefront is not big.

"Hey, are you two here to buy cloth or to see something else?"

Before going in, a woman wearing a big red silk flower on her head came out with a round fan in her hand and twisted her waist.

The woman looks about 35 or [-], with a graceful figure, a pair of willow-leaf eyes are slender and flexible, and the eyes are full of charm when they move around.

Lin Baobao paused, resisting the urge to look up at the sign.

Noticing Lin Baobao's small movements, the woman put the round fan to her lips and giggled. The laughter was clear and melodious, and it seemed to have a hook.

Lin Baobao wanted to see the shop signs again.

The woman laughed enough, and pointed behind her: "Don't worry, little lady, this is a serious embroidery workshop, not the kind of fairy nest that sells dog meat with sheep's tricks."

Lin Baobao laughed dryly, but Mrs. Chen pulled her and refused to leave: "Sister Yao, why don't we switch to another family?"

Huixin Embroidery Workshop is the largest embroidery workshop in Taohua Town. After that, it will belong to the one in front of you, and it will be even smaller.

Lin Baobao's hand holding the cloth slightly tightened: "Sister-in-law three, you go to the bullock cart and wait for me first."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth: "I'll be with you."

The woman was amused by the way her aunt and sister-in-law looked like they were breaking into a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair, so she turned around and walked back to the counter, leaning there as if she had no bones: "Just take a look, what do you want to buy?"

The layout of the store is similar to that of Huixin Embroidery Workshop, but its space is only half as large, and the goods are placed too messily, with scattered rags everywhere on the ground.

Lin Baobao looked around and saw no one else, heaved a sigh of relief, and took out the handkerchief again: "Boss, I want to discuss a business with you."

Before, she had no capital and could only take on jobs, but now that Liu Qiaohui gave her such a big gift, she naturally had to use another method.

"What's your boss, just call me Mrs. Yao."

Lady Yao took the handkerchief casually, saw the embroidery patterns on it clearly, her eyes were amazed: "Is this Suzhou embroidery, did you embroider it?"

Su embroidery is an original embroidery technique created by master Su, and her apprentices are either noble girls or extremely talented people.

Mrs. Yao was fortunate enough to have seen this stitch several times, and she would never admit it wrong.

Lin Baobao's first reaction was Suzhou Embroidery, one of the four famous embroideries of later generations, but then she thought that this dynasty was very different from the history she knew, maybe it happened to have the same name.

But seeing Miss Yao's expression should be rare.

"My third sister-in-law embroidered it. If Mrs. Yao doesn't believe it, she can embroider it for you on the spot."

Lady Yao didn't miss the surprise that flashed in Lin Baobao's eyes, she turned to look at the third sister-in-law she was talking about, and the other party's face was full of undisguised bewilderment.

With a thought, she returned the handkerchief to Baobao Lin, and said casually: "You want to sell the things you embroidered? But you have also seen that my shop doesn't have much business, so I'm afraid I won't be able to give you a high price."

Lin Baobao shook her head, this was her initial plan, but now she has changed her mind.

"I want to rent your container to consign my goods..."

A quarter of an hour later, Baobao Lin carefully folded the newly released contract and put it away.

Mrs. Yao didn't take advantage of it, and she was a little upset: "I have agreed with you in advance, all I do here is the business of the girls in the building, so don't blame me if you cause any gossip later on."

Yuanyun Embroidery Workshop and Huixin Embroidery Workshop are actually neck and neck in Taohua Town.

Until a year ago, Huixin Embroidery Workshop suddenly launched several new styles of dresses and patterns, attracting customers with a little spare money in Taohua Town.

The business of Yunxiufang has plummeted so far.

People who don't have a lot of money don't choose them, but the profit is too low to make much money, so Mrs. Yao simply took the business from the women in the brothel.

With that kind of place, it is conceivable that ordinary people gradually stopped entering her shop.

"That was in the past." Baobao Lin smiled: "I believe that the business in Aunt Yao's store will flourish in the future, and the supply will exceed the demand."

Are you calling Aunt Yao now?Lady Yao rolled her eyes. If she didn't want to rely on Su embroidery to turn her back, she would be impatient to cooperate with this little girl who refused to take any losses.

He said he was renting her container, but he didn't give real money, only agreed to give up [-]% of the profit, and asked her to help sell the embroidery she brought.

Isn't this an empty glove white wolf?
At first, I thought this person was a fool, but I didn't expect that I was mistaken.

Apart from Huixin Embroidery Workshop, this is the first time Miss Yao has been beaten by someone else, and impatiently waved her away: "Don't forget to provide at least five pieces of embroidery embroidered by Yueniang herself every month."

At first, she wanted to make more points, but this girl said that rare things are more expensive, what she needs is to rely on Su embroidery to bring back customers, instead of letting it rot on the street...

To put it nicely, don't think that she didn't see that this girl was afraid of tiring her sister-in-law.

"Don't worry, we will definitely follow the contract." Baobao Lin was not in a hurry to leave: "I still want to get some embroidery thread from Aunt Yao..."

Noticing the light in Lady Yao's eyes, she paused: "Pay the bill."

Mrs. Yao: ...you haven't even given me the goods, so what kind of account are you going to take?
Lin Baobao: There will be in the future.

When Lin Baobao and Chen Shi came out of the embroidery workshop, they had a large package of embroidery thread and rags in their hands, and two bolts of rough cloth—the expenditure was zero.

Including the proceeds from selling honeysuckle, Lin Baobao still had less than three taels of silver on hand. He went out this morning and brought a tael. The work was almost done, but it only cost ten cents for the ox cart.

After negotiating such a deal, Lin Baobao decided to celebrate, so he asked the toolman Lin Dazhuang to drive the ox cart to the butcher shop.

The last time I bought meat was during the busy farming season. There were so many people in the family that three catties of meat was not enough to eat.

This time she bought ten catties of pork belly at one go, thinking that the oil tank at home was empty, and bought another ten catties of fat meat to make lard. People in this era lack oil and water, and fat meat is more expensive than pork belly, costing twenty cents a catty .

"A total of 330 Wen. Do you want these pig bones? I won't charge you today. I will give them to you."

Although it took more than a month, the butcher was deeply impressed by Lin Baobao, a fool who bought a pile of bones for ten cents.

Lin Baobao didn't know what the butcher was thinking, so he smiled and said, "Thank you, brother."

Butcher: Stupid is a little silly, but also polite.

"Yaomei, why do we buy so much meat?" Chen's heart has been up and down since entering Taohua Town.

"Because I see hope." Lin Baobao winked at Mrs. Chen in a rare and playful way.

Mrs. Chen was stunned, and Lin Dazhuang, who was behind Mrs. Chen, blushed.

After buying the meat, Lin Baobao went to the grocery store to add salt, vinegar and other seasonings for cooking at home. Thinking of what Erniu said last time that the money was taken away by Mrs. Zhao, she gritted her teeth and paid a huge sum of money to buy two catties. Caramel.

After buying it like this, the one tael of silver in her hand left twenty copper coins.

No matter which era, money seems to be not very well spent.

Lin Baobao didn't want to be too eye-catching, so he decided to go to the village when everyone went home for dinner.

"You two sluts, what time is it that you haven't cooked yet, and you want to starve to death, don't you?"

"Mom, I fed the chicken, the rice should be cooked by my sister-in-law, who knows that she went out for a long time before returning."

Feng Shi still wanted to scold, but when she heard the commotion outside the courtyard, she turned her head and looked, her eyeballs almost fell out: "My God, Bao'er, where did you go to rob?"

Thanks to roseeelee for the reward of 520 red sleeve coins, thanks to book friends for the reward of 2023 reading coins in 1666, and thanks to whalewendy for the reward of 100 reading coins.
