Cannon Fodder Battle Chapter 1006: Ning Caichen is my brother-in-law (7)

When they arrived in the town, everyone unloaded the goods they wanted to sell from the bullock carts and took them to the market to sell.

The sellers of poultry and vegetables are nearby, but the embroidery sellers are no longer here, but in the commercial area in the center of the market.

In the past, Mrs. Bi sold out the crops first, and then went to the shop to sell the embroidery of lilac and rust. It is not a merchant who accepts and sells goods.

For the sake of his son's future, Mrs. Bi will not let her family become merchants.

This time, since the two sisters have come, there is no need for Mrs. Bi to make another trip. She told the two of them, and then she guarded the stall alone.

Tong Xinlan held the embroidered basket in one hand and supported Ding Xiangrong in the other.

The two of them were not walking fast. Although the town is small, people living in the countryside have poured into the town today, and it seems a bit crowded.

Before she was married, Ding Xiangrong would sell embroidery by herself, so the two of them didn't go wrong, and went directly to the shop Ding Xiangrong was familiar with.

Seeing Ding Xiangrong, the proprietress greeted Ding Xiangrong enthusiastically, looked around, and asked, "It's been a long time since I saw you, Xiangrong! Why did you personally send the embroidery here today? Are you feeling better? Yes. Didn't the girl Xianglan quarrel with you to come to the market?"

"Thank you lady boss for your concern, I feel much better." Ding Xiangrong smiled softly, making people feel like a spring breeze, and people have to believe her words.

Tong Xinlan smiled embarrassedly at the proprietress.

"This is the embroidery I brought this time. How does the proprietress look at it?" Ding Xiangrong has always defended her sister very much. Changed the topic to business.

"I believe in your craftsmanship." That being said, after the proprietress took the basket, she checked the silk handkerchiefs carefully. It's not that she doesn't trust Ding Xiangrong, but the rigor of a businessman. That's all.

Ding Xiangrong didn't feel embarrassed, but nervously watched the proprietress check, the price depends on the proprietress' bid.

"There is really no one in our town whose craftsmanship is comparable to Xiangrong's. The head of the county has asked me to bring back more of your silk handkerchiefs. This time, I will still give you a hundred copper coins for the five handkerchiefs. "The proprietress looked at Ding Xiangrong with satisfaction.

Usual copper coins are one thousand copper coins, that is, one tael of silver, but the ancient people in this world did not circulate silver, and they all used copper coins.

The state subsidy a scholar receives is only two taels of silver a year. Of course, scholars are different from those of princes and grandchildren, and the treatment is much different, so ordinary people naturally use more copper coins.

Ding Xiangrong's five embroidered handkerchiefs, one hundred coppers, are too much.

However, after deducting the cost of Ding Xiangrong's purchase of silk handkerchiefs and silk threads, she only earned forty copper coins by handwork, which is the high price given by the proprietress for her craftsmanship.

After the money was settled, Ding Xiangrong was going to buy some more silk handkerchiefs and embroidery threads as usual, but the proprietress said again, "Xiangrong, the boss gave me some patterns, saying that they are popular in Beijing now." New pattern, if you can do it, we will make you a handkerchief, and we will sell silk handkerchief embroidery thread. You put a hundred copper coins on me as a guarantee, and I will let you take twenty of them home for free. Do it, if the quality is still this good, I will give you 20 copper coins for a piece of handkerchief, and if it is time, it will be delivered within a month, what do you think?"

If you can really do it, you can earn 400 copper coins a month.

This is a good deal.

The proprietress also considered Ding Xiangrong's physical condition, otherwise she would let Ding Xiangrong do more.

Ding Xiangrong is not good at blowing the air or doing heavy work. When she is at home, she spends most of her time embroidering on the bed. There is plenty of time. Although embroidery is a waste of eyes, Ding Xiangrong can't bear to be a waste person by doing nothing.

It can be done if you work hard.

Ding Xiangrong agreed, and Tong Xinlan didn't stop her. If her sister is tired, she can also embroider for her.

Ding Xianglan can also embroider, but the proprietress doesn't like her technique, and it can only be used by ordinary farmers. Those ladies in the county look down on her slightly rough skills.

But her sister has been married for so long, and Ding Xianglan's skills have improved, so she will not doubt it.

"Miss Boss, this new pattern is really pretty, I don't know who drew it."

"It is said that it was passed down by the empress in the palace, so it is popular everywhere now. This embroidery method is a bit different from the previous ones. I will teach you."

"Then please trouble the lady boss."

Tong Xinlan helped her sister into the backyard of the shop, where several full-time embroiderers were embroidering patterns on a tassel the size of a table.

They are all big items, such as brocade quilt covers. Ordinary people use it, so the price is not high.

"Sister, I think it takes a while to learn this trick, so as not to waste a good handkerchief."

Ding Xiangrong naturally understands Tong Xinlan's meaning. If you learn in this shop, you can use the cloth provided by the shop to practice. If you go home, you can only practice with much inferior cloth and silk thread, and the hand feeling will be very strong. If there is a big difference, the first two items may be unsatisfactory in actual operation.

"Xiang Rong can rest assured to practice here~IndoMTL.com~ These high-quality materials are leftovers, which cannot be sold, so don't be afraid to waste them for me." These leftovers can be practiced in the shop, But they won't let people take them home, because they are afraid that they will be patched together and sewed together, which will make rich people who wear the same material feel insulted.

"Sister, since you have to learn new tricks here, I'd better go over and tell Aunt Bi, so that she won't worry if she sees us for so long and won't go back." Tong Xinlan finally found an excuse to go out and wander alone .

Although Tong Xinlan can also make money from embroidery, the style of the cloth shop in this town is too low, and the money earned from embroidering one piece is too little. If it is a big piece in the capital, she can sell it after embroidering one piece Hundreds of taels of silver.

Besides, she can't wait that long.

Ding Xiangrong also doesn't want her mother-in-law to worry, "Then you go and tell her, you can go and accompany mother-in-law to sell things. I have no problem here. After an hour, mother-in-law's things may be almost sold. Just come and pick me up when the time comes, but don’t run around, if you are taken away by kidnappers, we won’t be able to find you.”

"Hey, take it, buy some food, don't let someone steal it." Ding Xiangrong was quite generous to Ding Xianglan, and took out ten copper coins to ask her sister to buy food. (To be continued.)
