Traveling through the Prosperous Pastoral of Peasant Girls

Chapter 53 Liangshan Port Wharf

Chapter 54 Liangshan Port Wharf
As the weather continues to heat up, leather boots are no longer suitable for people to wear. Since the eldest prince warned Wu Chenxi, the leather boots have also switched to cavalry boots. They no longer make women's leather boots. pressure.The ladies began to put on clogs to resist the summer heat.But clogs are cool, but there are many disadvantages. First, the soles are too hard. Walking for a long time is easy to wear out women's soft feet.

Liu Tao designed those red smooth sheepskins into half-high-heeled leather sandals. There are three styles. Later, seeing that there are too few exquisite leathers, she organized several batches of original-colored sheepskins locally to meet the needs of middle and low-end customers.This time, it was also put into the market after hoarding a large amount.In the five days before this, considering that Mr. Dao Jia would no longer come looking for trouble, the partnership could not be terminated, so he sent him three pairs of samples and two pairs of ladies' leather gloves five days before the new shoes went on sale. , expressly does not restrict their imitation.

Master Jia was overwhelmed with gratitude for the two people's initiative to show their friendship regardless of previous suspicions. After giving the sample to Wu Chenxi for imitation, he immediately decided to climb along the pole and came to the Golden Mansion with a gift to thank him. He repeatedly explained that Wu Chenxi was not causing trouble. My original intention, Wanwang's two young masters put aside the previous suspicions, and strengthen cooperation in the future...

In fact, the two of them didn't care about his apology, they just didn't want to offend the villain, and giving them samples wouldn't do any harm to their business.On the other hand, Mr. Wang is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and often sends Wang Binglan to visit. Without threats, Liu Tao will teach him new dishes for free.

When Master Jia’s workshop was working overtime to imitate sandals, Liu Tao’s leather sandals were quietly launched. The most representative is a full-heeled half-heeled leather sandal with front and rear air, front toes and rear heels, and a middle shoe cover. Small flower holes are cut out, and the back strap is inserted into the silver buckle, which looks slender and light. The biggest advantage is that it reflects the coolness of the sandals.

It's a pity that the concept of socks has not existed in the country these days. People wear shoes and boots with foot wraps in winter, and they go barefoot in summer.However, a lady's bare feet, as long as she washes her feet clean, will attract men's attention just like a woman's face.

As soon as such sandals were put on the market in Beijing, there was a panic buying frenzy immediately, because there were high, high, and low-end styles, and people of that level could choose sandals that suit their price.Of course, red sandals are the first choice for rich ladies and noble ladies, and the middle and low-end ones are what ordinary people's Xiaojiabiyu should have.Not only did their Jinfu make a lot of money, but even Mrs. Jia's several shoe shops also made a lot of money.It's a pity that Liu Tao misjudged the purchasing power of the rich people in the capital, and the high-grade sheepskins in the Raksha Kingdom will be used up in twenty days.

One day, the fourth princess came to Liu Tao with several shoe models and shoe lasts, saying that it was the queen and mother concubine, as well as several toffees who ordered sandals. Each person needed at least three pairs of the same style, or less. That's nine pairs of shoes per person.This made Liu Tao difficult, because there were not many good skins left, and it was obviously difficult to satisfy them.

After discussions between Liu Tao and the fourth princess, the two came up with a compromise, that is, to redesign two new styles, each with a pair of one style, plus a pair of leather gloves that have not yet been put on the market as a gift.Liu Tao fooled the fourth princess: "When you go back, tell those aunts and grandmas, 'I, Liu Tao, specially made them for them. Ordinary ladies are not worthy of these new styles. I racked my brains to design them for them alone. The most important thing is to show their noble status.' This style will not be put on the market this year, and the leather sandals they wear on their feet are the only ones."

Thousands of wears and flattery don't wear them, and sure enough, the fourth princess replied: "They are so satisfied with the new sandals and leather gloves!"

The imitation of the leather sandals made by Mr. Wang's workshop is still somewhat decent. If you don't compare it with Jinfu's sandals, it is still satisfactory.It’s just that the imitation of leather gloves is too ugly, because there is no sewing machine, it is all hand-stitched, and all parts of Jinfu’s leather gloves are uniformly cut, and the seams of each part are punched in advance, and each hole is aligned when sewn. Step by step is not the slightest difference, the fur part is still meticulously made by the sewing machine according to the rules. The appearance of the finished product looks very pleasing to the eye, and it is warm and comfortable to wear, showing a noble atmosphere.

But the leather gloves imitated by Mr. Wang's workshop have bloated fingers, which are comparable to the shape of bear's paws. If they are weighed, each one will definitely weigh half a catty more than those produced by Jinfu.Mr. Wang specially sent a batch of finished products to the palace, and each concubine, big and small, has a pair.However, when the concubines saw such leather gloves and compared them with those from the Jinfu, they were all overjoyed.Even the court ladies were happy to lean forward and back together, completely losing their previous manners.In the end, it could only be given to the eunuchs who did rough work, and they were asked to wear it when they were doing hard work.

The second cousin and his wife moved here, and the cows went to the cow pen, because Jinyang Liutao took all the male cows away when he moved, and his family only had cows, so the breeding of cows became a big problem. and solved.

Jin Yang asked his cousin-in-law to set up a caravan of three vehicles, first to transport a batch of goods to Liangshan Port, and at the same time see if he can contact Captain Venus, if he can contact him, let him organize refined iron and leather sheets, that is, direct purchase The intermediate link is omitted.In addition, let him look for an intimate candidate, preferably a young man who can read and write, and has a language genius. He has learned the Raksha language, and in the future he will build his own warehouse and live in Liangshan Port.The second cousin's husband recommended his younger brother Lu Run. The younger brother who has studied in a private school for several years should be qualified for the job.

When his younger brother Lu Run arrived, he was a shrewd and capable young man, already 16 years old.Jin Yang made a general arrangement for his future work.

Jin Yan looked at it and told him that he didn't quite understand it, so Jin Yan wanted to go to Liangshan Port to inspect it for himself, and buy it directly after seeing if there was a suitable port.

He and his second cousin-in-law, Lu Run, went to Liangshan Port together. Liangshan Port was less than [-] miles away from the capital city. They rushed from dawn to dusk, and on the afternoon of the third day, their carriage arrived at the hillside behind the port.

Overlooking Liangshan Port, the port is located in the southeast, and down the hillside is the commercial area and residential areas.There are several streets in the commercial area, which bring together goods from various countries and overseas countries. Many of the passers-by on the street are foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes and strange attire. business name.

When they got here, they didn't know the place well. Fortunately, there were many know-it-alls in yellow clothes on the street. Jin Yan saw an old man with a simple and honest face, so he let him get into the car and went to the pier by the sea.

When Wan Shitong heard that they were going to buy a pier, he said, "A large pier costs upwards of 1 taels of silver, and a small pier that can dock two ships costs about 4000 taels of silver." Those who sell the docks are all marked at extremely high prices.

　When I went out last night, I saw people burning paper incense for deceased relatives at various intersections. I felt a little eerie, and I had a lot of inspiration. It seems that I have to conceive a supernatural novel.Haha, two more chapters today, another chapter later.
