Chapter 134 Wool is selling well
Jinling, a prosperous place.

There is not only the Qinhuai River filled with silk and bamboo, but also delicious food from all over the world.

People traveling from south to north gather here.

After Shopkeeper Qi came back, he immediately sent the spinning wheel and loom to the workshop for trial use, and then made improvements according to the specific conditions of the silk.

It can be put into use quickly and mass-produced to compete for the market taken away by the Qian family.

The wool bought at a high price is bright in color and soft in texture, and incense has been put along the way, giving it an extra fragrance.

The ladies of Jinling were all proud of being able to buy wool thread and knit woolen clothes.

Girls from wealthy families did not embroider, and their clothes and decorative gadgets knitted from wool were highly sought after.

Shopkeeper Qi paid 20 taels of silver per catty and shipped it to Jinling. He actually sold it for [-] taels of silver per catty.

With such an expensive price, there is an endless stream of people buying it.

Soon the two thousand kilograms of wool thread were all divided among the powerful female relatives of Jinling.

Not only that, some even directly gave money as a deposit in order to get the wool as soon as possible.

Shopkeeper Qi did the math and found that the amount ordered by a single customer was already as high as [-] kilograms.This does not include merchants from Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Suzhou and other prosperous places who heard the news and came to place orders, up to [-] kilograms.

Shopkeeper Qi firmly believes that as the weather continues to get colder, the demand for wool will continue to increase.

The slender and well-maintained head of the Qi family looked at the account book, and the surprise in his eyes became more and more intense. "The big shopkeeper is worthy of being the big shopkeeper, and he has a sharp vision. Not only did he get a spinning wheel and a loom, but he also bought wool." "

Shopkeeper Qi was respectful and bowed to the head of the Qi family. "Thank you, head of the house. This is my duty. It's just that the [-] kilograms of wool that the old slave ordered before is about to be ordered. We still need to expand the order quantity." .”

Patriarch Qi's eyes lit up, "Yes, thirty thousand kilograms is not enough, 30 kilograms can also be sold this year. Boss, when will the thirty thousand kilograms be delivered?"

Shopkeeper Qi replied: "I told Qi Yue over at Zhenxiguan that if it's enough for [-] kilograms, I'll ask the escort agency to escort them over. I guess the first batch should be halfway there now."

"Just like the owner said, we can sell 30 kilograms, so I want to order a large amount of wool with Madam Li."

The head of the Qi family touched his beard and nodded, "Okay, big shopkeeper, we will prepare the banknotes here, and I will buy more yarn no matter what."

"Although it can still be sold next year, the profit may not be as high as this year. We must seize the opportunity."

Shopkeeper Qi thought for a moment, "Master, when we do business, if we can get what we need from each other, we can do better business."

"Big shopkeeper, what do you mean?" asked the head of the Qi family with curiosity, "You are an old man in the family. If you have anything to say, just say it directly, big shopkeeper. My father said that your words are as good as his. the same."

"Thank you for the honor, Master." Shopkeeper Qi became more respectful and bowed his hand, "The old slave went to Zhenxiguan to buy spinning wheels and looms. He can hide it from the small merchants, but he may not be able to hide it from the Qian family."

"Maybe the Qian family has already taken the money and rushed to Zhenxiguan to buy wool."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's send someone quickly. Boss, it's too hard for you to run back and forth. I'll go on this trip." The head of the Qi family also wants to go to Zhenxiguan to settle down the wool business and have a long-term cooperation in the future. .

Shopkeeper Qi smiled and said, "Master, wait a minute. We want to buy wool, but Gongsun Lian may not want banknotes. I'm sure he wants food and medicinal materials."

The head of the Qi family patted his forehead, "Didn't you buy the wool from Madam Li? What does it have to do with Gongsun Lian?"

Shopkeeper Qi replied: "At first I wanted to get the drawings of spinning wheels and looms without spending any money, but Gongsun Lian took the initiative to come to support Lady Li."

"Ms. Li is a very particular person, and she will definitely want to repay Gongsun Lian. If we have food and medicinal materials on hand, I can guarantee that Mrs. Li is willing to trade with us." "In addition, there is news from our caravan outside the customs. There was something strange, and they were worried about a big war, so they were rushing back."

The head of the Qi family suddenly realized, "Yes, in times of real chaos, food and medicinal materials are much more useful than food."

"If we also bring money to trade with Madam Li, we will inevitably raise the price in the face of competition from the Qian family. But we have the food and medicinal materials they want, so it is different."

"The master of the family is wise." Shopkeeper Qi complimented, "In our land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, the most indispensable thing is food. By the way, I also found out that Mrs. Li likes all kinds of foreign seeds. We have many sea ships and many foreign people here. I have asked people to collect and buy them as gifts for Madam Li."

The head of the Qi family showed appreciation in his eyes. "The big shopkeeper is right. Although Madam Li likes Fanbang's seeds, we also want to give her some unique ones from Jinling that she can use."

"Rouge, gouache, and some fabric trinkets have been prepared by the old slave. This time, the old slave should go there. Firstly, I am familiar with the people over there, and it is easier to talk; secondly, there may be some In times of war, the head of the family has a noble status and cannot tolerate any mistakes."

When the head of the Qi family heard this, he was quite moved. He stood up and saluted Mr. Qi, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Qi."

"It's all for the prosperity of the Qi family." Shopkeeper Qi said with a smile. If Mr. Qi hadn't saved him, how could he have the dignity he has now?
Qi Dazhang spent 10 taels of silver to buy grain and medicinal materials, and then went to Zhenxiguan with prepared generous gifts.

However, with so much supplies, the speed was slow. Shopkeeper Qi sent people to send a letter to Li Xiaoyue and Gongsun Lian to inform them in advance, in case the Qian family got ahead of them.

The Qian family in Jinling had already heard that shopkeeper Qi purchased wool from Zhenxiguan. Shopkeeper Qian had already gone straight to Zhenxiguan with his money and people.

The wool workshop is jointly managed by Li Ersao and Wen Xiaolan.

Li Ersao manages the female workers and yarn quality, while Wen Xiaolan manages the accounts.

Li Changhuan and Qin Yuyao are in charge of the dyeing workshop, and Li Changlu is in charge of purchasing wool and cleaning wool.

With more people and greater strength, there are already more than 70 workshops, fifty of which are already in use, and can accommodate [-] spinning wheels and [-] looms.

The workshop will continue to be built, and the number of spinning wheels and looms made by Carpenter Sun will continue to increase in an orderly manner.

After all these things were sorted out, Li Xiaoyue was only responsible for supervising and checking accounts. When she was free, she stared at her sesame seeds and cotton eagerly.

From the beginning of planting, to growth and fruiting, Li Xiaoyue is personally involved in every aspect.

Even Li Daya and Li Goudan, the most pampered people in the family, would still get a slap in the face if they dared to come to the sesame and cotton fields to cause trouble.

"Grandma, is this food delicious?" Although Li Daya is not big, she knows that grandma is very powerful.

It must be a good thing to make grandma care about it so much.

Li Xiaoyue said proudly, "It's delicious. It's especially delicious. It's so delicious that I won't forget it. Keep an eye on it, no one is allowed in."

Li Daya patted her chest, "Don't worry, grandma, I know how to look after the house. I will definitely be able to protect our home."

After Li Xiaoyue finished reading Sesame, she went to the cotton field next to her.

Although one-tenth of the cotton seeds died during the process, more than [-]% of the cotton seeds in three-thirds of the land were successfully planted.

Under the exposure of the sun, the cotton bolls have spit out a little bit of white cotton wool. After another half month, the harvest will be done.

With cotton, there are cotton jackets, quilts, cotton cloth...

At this time, on the newly built turret of the Liu family's old house not far away, Liu Yunde and Fan Geng were lying on it furtively, peeking at Li Xiaoyue's every move.
