Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

  Chapter 1528 Investigating the Market

  The silver taels to be compensated are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

In addition, the embroidered mothers she is looking for are mainly from innocent families with few people. You cannot leave the workshop until you have completed the ration of cloth, and there is no objection.

   "Ma'am, what are you making so much cotton cloth for?" Chun Xing followed behind her, carrying all kinds of pastries and candied haws on her back.

  Ye Muyu likes to eat sweet and sour, and sometimes buys food on the street, which is convenient and fun to shop.

  She is visiting all the ready-to-wear shops and cloth shops in the capital.

  Having been in the capital for so long, she really hasn't looked around thoroughly.

   Now that she wants to do business, she is naturally ready to understand the market well.

   "I can't say it yet, anyway, it's not a bad thing." Ye Muyu was wearing simple cotton clothes, she couldn't tell she was the wife of a wealthy family at all, and she was still holding candied haws in her hand, eating one bite at a time.

  Da Chu's restrictions on women are not serious, and it is very natural for women to walk on the street, and most of the people who are used to wearing veiled hats are unmarried women from aristocratic families.

After eating a candied haws, the sweet and sour taste exploded in her mouth, which made her feel very happy. After visiting more than a dozen small shops, she found that the quality of most of the cotton cloth produced by her own workshop was no better than that of her own workshop. Well, you must know that the price of these cloths is not low. The price of cotton cloth made from improved looms will be 30 to 40% cheaper than the current price, while the price of cotton cloth made from hydraulic looms can be reduced by 10%. double the price.

   That is to say, the general price of ordinary cotton cloth in Beijing today is between 400 and 800 Wen per piece.

  One piece of cloth can make one or two sets of clothes. Calculated, a set of cotton clothes in winter costs more than 300 Wen, and a set of cotton cardigans in summer costs more than 100 Wen.

After Ye Muyu's loom comes out, the price can be reduced by five times or even ten times. You can buy a linen coat for a catty of rice, and a cotton coat for a catty of meat. You can buy a cotton coat for the price of a chicken.

  The possibility that civilians may freeze to death in winter will be greatly reduced.

   This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. Moreover, the most important thing is that Ye Muyu's modified loom can reduce wastage and use lower-quality raw materials to weave.

   Greatly reduces waste and makes full use of all materials.

   After reading the prices, she almost understood the direction her shop should take.

   Seeing that it was getting late, she jumped into the carriage and saw a little girl shivering from the cold at a roadside stall, selling radishes, which is also the most common vegetable in winter.

  Ye Muyu's voice was gentle: "Buy all the radishes back, and have stewed pork ribs with radishes tonight."

  Chun Xing jumped down, gave Sui Yin, and carried two baskets of radishes onto the carriage.

  The carriages of the Chu family are relatively large, but their appearance is simple and low-key.

  The little girl has never touched silver since she was so old, her moist eyes lit up, her hands trembled, and she stammered: "Sister, I don't have any copper coins to look for..."

  Two baskets of radishes cost over a hundred copper coins.

  A piece of silver, no matter what, there is one or two.

  Chun Xing rubbed her head with her hands, and pouted into the carriage: "That's my wife, it's my wife, seeing you are so young and want to support a family."
