Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 107 Lotus’ Plan

It has been eight or nine days since I last went to sell clothes. During this time, I have made a lot of clothes. From the materials to the workmanship, they have improved a lot, and naturally the prices have also increased.

He Jiuniang didn't want to go with her this time. She only asked Zhang Song, his wife and Lianhua to go together, mainly because she wanted to exercise them.

Although Lianhua was a little nervous, she was still very excited. Aunt Jiuniang said that she had a talent for business and would never let Aunt Jiuniang down.

The three of them set out early in the morning. The ones who went to collect the feathers this morning were Boss Lu and Zhang Yong.

The women at home are still taking the time to make clothes. If the sales are good today, they will recruit more people.

When the three of them arrived in the county town, they did the same thing as last time. They found a place with the most traffic on the main street and started setting up a stall. Then each of them found something to wear for display.

Twenty pieces of clothes were sold out last time, and there were still many people waiting to buy them. However, I went to the city several times and didn’t see the stalls. I finally saw them today, and there were people there before they were hung up on the hangers. Came over to watch.

"Hey, there are a lot of new tricks out this time! What's the price?"

Someone who had been watching last time asked.

"Brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts, we have a lot more varieties this time. The materials on the left are the same as the last batch. The main material is fine linen, so the price is the same, and we still buy four pieces or four pieces as last time. There are discounts for more than one piece of clothing; the materials on the right are more expensive, including cotton, muslin, floral satin and other good materials. The prices are written on the small labels of each piece of clothing, so you can check it yourself!"

Seeing that Lian Hua had already begun to introduce, Zhang Song and Lu Guilan also helped: "The clothes are made of good materials, and the feathers stuffed inside are also carefully selected. The price is naturally more expensive. Everyone can choose according to their own abilities and preferences. Just buy it. In the next few days, our family will have some new styles of clothes, so everyone must come and support them!"

That's what he said, but Lu Guilan knew that it was impossible to sell the designed clothes at a small stall, which would not fetch a good price at all, and would even make those high-ranking officials feel that the price had dropped.

"Ah, this piece of cheesecloth costs 220 nine cents, which is much more expensive than buying cotton clothes directly! And this piece of fine cotton costs 290 nine cents! Why don't you go and grab it! What a profiteer!"

Someone in the crowd spoke very dissatisfied, and others secretly looked at the price of the style they were interested in. Everyone's eyes widened, it was so expensive!
In response to such a question, Lianhua remained calm and said with a smile: "Whoever wears our feather clothes knows it. It is much more comfortable than cotton clothes, and these materials are expensive, not to mention that we have to hire workers to sew them at home." Making clothes is naturally more expensive!”

She paused and then said: "Of course there are cheap ones too. These are the same ones as last time. The prices have not changed. You can buy them according to your needs!"

People are greedy. In the past, only linen was available, so there was no choice. But today, with these new fabrics and new patterns, those made of linen look ugly.

Most of the people who come to watch are unmarried young ladies or wives and mothers. Naturally, there is comparison in aesthetics. If you take an ordinary thing, you will look at the beauty in other people's hands and be greedy.

Everyone picked and picked, choosing mostly burlap and fine cotton. Although floral satin was beautiful, it was expensive, costing 590 for one piece.

But of course there are people who buy it, and the quantity they buy is quite large.

Looking at it this way, Lianhua knew that everyone was rich. If they really didn't have money, they wouldn't dare to look left or right, so they continued to introduce the benefits of these good materials with a smile.

What kind of clothes are close-fitting, soft, and what color is suitable for a little girl to be married? Buy one as a dowry for your daughter, she will have a long face, and so on.

It is also said that the fragrance lasts for a long time and can be carried wherever you go. It directly saves money on buying fragrance powder. After such a comparison, it seems to be a lot more cost-effective.

Zhang Song and his wife were stunned. How could a little girl named Lianhua be so eloquent?
In order not to let themselves be compared, the couple also used good words to praise each other. So, after two hours, they finally sold 97 of the 30 items they brought, making nearly [-] taels of silver in the morning.There is no other reason. Except for the price of linen, which is divided into boys and girls, everything else is the same price, and the higher price is also greater in quantity.

Azabu is for welfare. Next time I come to Azabu, the price will be the same.

Although the customers had some complaints, there were still many people buying. They all thought that they would make money if they bought it, and they suddenly didn't care about it anymore.

It’s not that the remaining three pieces cannot be sold, but that Lotus can keep them.

The colors of these three items are too bright, and most girls would not dare to wear them like this, but some of them are eager to buy them. However, Lotus deliberately kept them because she had other plans.

These overly gorgeous materials were chosen by Aunt Jiuniang. She remembered that Aunt Jiuniang said that in business, it doesn’t matter who you sell to, as long as you can sell it without violating your conscience.

"Lianhua, do you have any use for keeping these three pieces of clothing?"

Zhang Song was very puzzled. The clothes could have been sold, but she insisted on staying. She didn't know what she was thinking.

"Uncle Song, I want to sell these overly gorgeous clothes to the girl in the building."

She spoke out her thoughts. Zhang Song and his wife's eyes widened. She, she, she, what was an unmarried little girl saying?

"That kind of place... We are an innocent family, don't have anything to do with that kind of place!"

Lu Guilan frowned, very unhappy.

If a little girl from Lianhua went to a place like that, and someone with good intentions found out about it and publicized it everywhere, would she still be alive?

She knew that Lianhua wanted to do business, but she didn't want this girl to work too hard and end up losing herself.

"Aunt Guilan, when we went to buy fabrics, Aunt Jiu Niang said that business does not discriminate between people. The girls in the building also need to buy winter clothes. Instead of letting them go to other stores to buy them, it is better for our family to take over this purchase. Business, and this is all good stuff.”

The girls in the building just like to wear bright clothes and have money in their hands. She feels that she is playing into their favour.

Hearing what she said, Lu Guilan was a little hesitant. Indeed, he had not seen the reputation of those businesses that deal with brothel girls being ruined.

What’s more, this is indeed an opportunity to make a lot of money.

There are three brothels in this city, and there are hundreds of girls. How much money does it cost to buy one or two pieces for each girl?
"Then we can't let you go. You are an unmarried girl. We can't harm you. Your Uncle Song and I will go."

Lu Guilan stepped forward. Although she didn't like that kind of place, she couldn't be timid at this time.
