After crossing, I have the space to bring my baby to make a fortune

Chapter 17
"Why don't you take a look at our family's linen? It's also very good! If you buy five pieces, the linen will be delivered to your home."

Seeing Bai Yao in a daze, the shopkeeper was not embarrassed at all, and introduced him directly to Bai Yao.

"How much is a piece of linen?"

"The cloth in our bureau is all 13 meters long, so it is rare for a young lady to buy one by one. The precious silk is 20 taels a piece, the linen is 5 taels a piece, and the rough linen is one tael a piece. It’s another story to say.”

The shopkeeper was not too ignorant, and said patiently.

What Bai Yao didn't expect was that a piece of cloth was 13 meters long! !No wonder everything is so expensive in this small town.

"A ten-year-old girl, an eight-year-old boy, and a four-year-old girl, how much cloth do they need to make three sets of clothes?"

In this regard, Bai Yao is indeed a noob. She wears her hair up and down in modern clothes. She never thought that one day she would buy cloth to make clothes.

"For three sets of children's clothes, one meter high requires about three meters to make one set of clothes. If three sets are nine meters, one piece of cloth can make four sets of children's clothes.

Ten-year-old girls generally grow faster than boys, and one horse can make three sets, and the other girls will count."

The shopkeeper said while fiddling with the abacus.

Bai Yao understood after listening.

"Excuse me, does the shopkeeper know any embroiderers? I don't know how to sew clothes."

Bai Yao asked with some embarrassment.

The shopkeeper and the waiter were all taken aback, there is actually a young lady who doesn't know how to be a girl.

"Yes, I wonder how much cloth the lady wants?"

"Just four bolts of silk and five bolts of linen."

As soon as Bai Yao finished speaking, the shopkeeper and Xiao Er were shocked.It was a bit embarrassing, I thought this little lady couldn't afford silk.

Bai Yao has already made up his mind, it's almost autumn and it doesn't matter to add more clothes, the silk and satin are worn inside, and the linen is worn outside, so no one else can see it.

"A total of 100 taels, you are our first big customer in the past six months, so I will give you [-] taels, plus shoe materials, what do you think?"

The shopkeeper said to Bai Yao with a smile on his face.

"I just asked the embroiderer of the shopkeeper..."

"If you don't mind, little lady, my embroiderer is very good. You see, my clothes are made by my embroiderer."

The shopkeeper said with a happy face.

Bai Yao looked at the clothes on the shopkeeper, he was indeed an excellent embroiderer.

"I think my sister-in-law will help me make these four pieces of silk and satin, one for a ten-year-old girl, one for an eight-year-old boy, one for a four-year-old girl, and three sets for me. Is it possible?"

"This... is too much. If the little lady doesn't mind, I'll ask my friend from my family to do it together."

There are twelve sets in total, he is afraid that his wife will burn her eyes.

"Yes, what about the price?"

"You bought so much cloth in our store, so I won't charge you any money, but I hope the little lady will think of our cloth bureau when she still wants to buy cloth!"

The shopkeeper laughed, he made a lot of money today, and if he showed the money to the lady, she probably wouldn't mind.

At that time, just give some broken silver to the friends of the lady.

"Success, I'll tell you the size tomorrow, and I'll pack the remaining five bolts of linen and send them to West Road."

She hired the white coachman's donkey cart and asked someone to deliver it to her door, fearing that it would provoke criticism from the villagers.

"okay"

After the deal was done happily, Bai Yao went to the market.

I bought another big basket, bought vegetables and meat, and bought some more when I saw peanut candy and mung bean cakes on the road.I also bought some good candles and two oil lamps.

oops!Forget about custom quilts.

With a mentality of trying, she asked if there was any cotton. What a coincidence, there was cotton!As far as she knows, there was not much cotton in ancient times.

Carrying the basket on her back, she found a place to buy cotton. She asked the vegetable buyer, and there was only one family in the town that had cotton, and they were new to the town.

The quilts at home are all made of catkins, she is really...

As soon as I entered, I heard noise.

"You didn't even tell me you wanted 20 taels of silver when you bought it! I don't want it anymore!"

"Auntie, this cotton is not easy to come by, besides, it's all ready to play, how can you say no to it?"

"Anyway, I just don't want it! I can buy four bolts of cloth for 20 taels of silver, and you are robbery for just two quilts!"

"Back then I told you how much a catty of cotton is, and there are manual fees. How could you do that!"

"Hmph, who knew it would take so many catties to pop out a quilt, I don't want it!"

After saying this, the aunt left in a hurry.

Two people were left moaning.

Bai Yao was overjoyed when he heard that the quarrel inside was over, there were leaks to pick up!
"Hi, just heard that these two quilts cost 20 taels of silver? Can I have it?"

As soon as the woman left, Bai Yao walked in and said.

The man and woman looked like a couple.Hearing Bai Yao's words, the couple beamed with joy.

"Yes, yes, yes"

The two arrived in a hurry.

"Since you can play cotton, will you make a quilt directly out of fabric?"

Bai Yao didn't want to take the quilt and go back and lie directly on the stretched cotton.

"If you want, it's ok, but the fabric and handwork will cost you five taels of silver"

The man said with a serious face, as if he was afraid of losing money.

"No problem, this is 25 taels of silver. If time is fast, I will wait here."

Seeing that Bai Yao took out the money, the two heaved a sigh of relief.

"I'm not afraid of my sister's jokes. We moved to the town for half a month. We have met two aunts who came to make an appointment and then gave up. One even took the quilt and said to go home to get the money. Everyone disappeared."

The woman smoothed things over for her man, saying that she hadn't forgotten to seal the quilt.

"Unpredictable"

Bai Yao said lightly, as soon as she crossed over, she already found that the quality of most villagers needs to be improved.

"Oh, I'm really scared, sister, you don't know, this cotton was discovered by my father-in-law in southern Xinjiang, and he thought it could replace willow catkins for quilts, so he recruited people to collect it in large quantities.

Later, people from the government took a fancy to that area and contracted that area. We didn't dare to sell it there, so we came to this town from a thousand miles away. We thought the scenery in this town was good and we wanted to settle down here. "

The unreasonableness of a woman for her husband can be regarded as a heart-to-heart confession to Bai Yao.

"Since it was contracted by the government, why did you bring so much cotton here? When the cotton is gone, wouldn't you cut off your income?"

Bai Yao said suspiciously.

Running so far from southern Xinjiang is really hard work. With ancient technology, it may take more than a month to travel from southern Xinjiang by horse-drawn carriage.

"We recruited a lot of workers and collected a lot, but we were kicked out before we could sell them, and then my father-in-law transported several trucks out.

After going to a county, I wanted to make a living there, but all the county businesses are fixed businesses, and our novelty is really hard to sell.

It’s broken but it can’t be broken. My guild will plant white quilts and bring them out, but I don’t have the money to buy land. I just want to make more than a dozen quilts and start working.”

The woman said while sighing.

"Are you willing to cooperate? You don't have to worry about the land and sales. You just teach people to plant. After the first batch of cotton is mature, you can teach people to play the quilt."

Bai Yao's eyes lit up, isn't the money coming soon?Cotton is an indispensable thing in modern times!
She didn't expect cotton to be so scarce, and it was only discovered now.

In the future, you can make a fortune selling quilts. In ancient times, how many people died of freezing in winter!
If she produces cotton in large quantities, the cotton can be made not only into quilts but also into padded jackets!
Most people nowadays use catkins, animal fur or burnt kang to survive the winter.

If cotton is produced in large quantities, there will not be so many people who freeze to death. It is a good welfare for the country and the people.

The couple were taken aback when they heard Bai Yao's words, and the man frowned even more.

"no need"

The man resolutely said, this woman is just like the gang in the government!I want to eat him to the bone.

Originally, he had good intentions to promote cotton, but the government officials threatened him with his wife because they were afraid that he would not cooperate.

After living in southern Xinjiang for so long, he has never suffered such a loss, but the people did not fight with the officials, rescued the lady and ran away.

After seeing the faces of those people clearly, his heart was shattered, but he was lucky that he didn't teach those people.
