Chapter 38 The Uninvited Guest

After talking about the business, Mencius began to talk about the mountains, from the wool fabric trade in the Western Regions to the tea horse business in the border.

The tea horse business is one of Dayou's economic pillars.The imperial envoys and local officials all attached great importance to the tea horse business, so the supervision was also strict.

To put it simply, it is to exchange tea, silk, porcelain, etc., which are special products of Dayou, for horses raised by border nomads.

There is a lot of oil and water here, but businessmen can't get much.

He didn't say what happened next, but the other two people present already knew it in their hearts.

After a cup of tea was used up, the three of them got up and left.There was a knock on the door, and the shopkeeper said respectfully: "Three honored guests, there is an honored guest here who says he is on good terms with Mrs. Shen, and would like to say hello. Is it convenient?"

Shen Yingxia wondered, she didn't have any friends in the capital, who could it be?
She glanced at Qian Amei and Mencius Yi, and seeing that they did not object, she asked the shopkeeper to invite them in.

The person who came was Sima Yi.

Sima Yi's attire today was very tight, he was dressed in brocade clothes, and his jade was jingling around his waist.

"Madam Shen, what do you think of the food in Shuiyunjian?"

Shen Yingxia stretched out her hand to signal:
"It's very beautiful. The wood carvings, the couch, and the round chopsticks that feel soft to the touch can be seen everywhere. The owner's hard work can be seen everywhere. No wonder the business in Shuiyun Jian is so hot, and one is hard to find.

"If Mr. Meng didn't bring us in today, we don't know if we would have such a blessing!"

"Which family is the girl next to Mrs. Shen?" Sima Yi unabashedly looked at Amei Qian.

If the noble daughter of a rich family is stared at by him like this, she will say "Dengtuzi!", then cover her face, turn around and run away shyly.

After all, this guy's appearance is quite good, coupled with today's outstanding attire, it is very confusing.

"This is my new sister, surnamed Qian." Before Qian's sister could speak, Shen Yingxia introduced her.

A trace of surprise flashed across Qian Amei's face, but she didn't retort: ​​"I'm saluting to you, Young Master."

As expected of Qian Amei, Shen Yingxia's favorite girl, she was not moved by Sima Yi's appearance at all.

"My lord knocked on the door specially for the shopkeeper, but what do you want to tell me?"

Shen Yingxia was in a hurry to go to the county government to file the contract. After all, sachets were a seasonal item, so she was anxious!
"Oh, it's nothing serious! I just heard from my servant that you left at the gate of Buzhuang this morning, so I just wanted to ask, is there anything I can help you with?" Sima Yi had a good heart.

But this is a matter between Shen Yingxia and the Zhao family, and she believes that she can solve it by herself.

"Thank you for your concern, my lord. I will take care of this matter. If there is nothing else, we will leave first." After speaking, Shen Yingxia took Qian Amei and left.

As the figure went away, Sima Yi shook his head: "This little girl is really stubborn! You don't want me to help, so why don't I help?"

A long, long time later, Sima Yi asked Shen Yingxia why she was so hostile towards him back then.Shen Yingxia just gave him a blank stare: "What have you done, don't you know what you have done?"

The three of Shen Yingxia rushed to the government office in a hurry, and quickly settled the matter according to the procedure.

The real challenge has just begun!

The first problem she encountered was insufficient fabric inventory, and although the five embroiderers in the store are good at craftsmanship, such a large quantity needs to be produced before the end of the month, which is also very difficult.

After returning to the store, she called Aunt Qiu to discuss it together.

Aunt Qiu said that there is no need to worry about manpower. Although there are some girls in her village whose skills are not as good as those in the shop, they can do some cutting and sewing work, so there is absolutely no problem.

Shen Yingxia asked Aunt Qiu to take out all the breathable cloth.There are thin linen commonly used by ordinary people, and light gauze often bought by ladies.

There was a very novel fabric, Shen Yingxia touched it, it was softer and thinner than pure linen, and thicker than yarn.She pointed to this cloth and asked Aunt Qiu.

Aunt Qiu smiled happily: "This is the latest model! It was woven by Jiang's Cloth Factory in Jiangnan! I didn't understand what it was called hemp fiber!

"But whether the cloth is good or not, I can tell at a glance!

"This kind of cloth is soft and light, and the price is very favorable. Although it is more expensive than hemp, it is still affordable for ordinary people.

"I don't know how much more comfortable it is than rough linen when it's made into an underwear and worn next to the body!"

Whenever Aunt Qiu talks about Bu, she can't stop talking.

Is it Jiang's Cloth Village again?Recently, the name Jiang Niannian has repeatedly appeared in her ears, and she is becoming more and more curious about this outstanding woman!
