Farming Beautiful Widow - C128
The candied fruits of the two grass targets were sold out very quickly. The student who failed to buy the candied fruits still had a dejected look on his face and returned home in low spirits.
After Wenxiu finished selling the candied fruits, she routinely hoisted the grass target onto her shoulder. Retreat!
Looking at her manly actions, Li Jun invisibly twitched the corner of his mouth. However, like her, he hefted the grass target onto his shoulder and followed her closely.
The middle-aged gatekeeper stood on the steps with his mouth wide open. Even when Wen Xiu and Li Jun had walked far away, he did not chase after them to ask for a booth fee. He must have seen that good-looking man somewhere. But where?
“Xiu, are you going back now?”
“I can’t rush back to eat now,” Wen Xiu shook her head. “On account of you helping me today, I’ll treat you to a meal as thanks. “After you finish eating, go buy some ingredients. Come back another day.”
Again?
Li Jun swallowed the words at the tip of her tongue. That’s right, she wasn’t selling candied fruits, so what would she and her child eat? In the eyes of their mothers, this husband and father should only be considered a piece of cake!
The business was doing well today, so she made some money. However, it was too extravagant for her to go to the restaurant for a meal. With the two children not around, it was just that she and Li Jun had been eating and drinking to the fullest.
Therefore, she took a step back and treated Li Jun to a bowl of bean blossom rice.
Three coins for a bowl of bean blossom rice, and the two of them spent a total of six coins. Don’t underestimate the money. You can buy a catty of salt. In order to save money, many people would walk home to eat.
After the meal, Wenxiu went to the bun house to buy some sugar and then bought some buns and steamed buns. Now, as long as she was on the street, the steamed buns and steamed buns were standard, she would forget nothing and not forget to buy these two things.
Li Jun took the heavy basket from Wen Xiu’s back and said, “I’ve bought all the items. Let’s go back!”
Wenxiu shook her head and said, “I need to go to the village.”
“To the cloth farm again?” If he remembered correctly, she seemed to have been there the other day and had already bought cloth and cotton.
“En!”
Without explaining too much, Wenxiu took a detour to the cloth farm. As she passed by the grocery store, she ran into Zhang Heng, who had been missing for a while. They greeted each other.
Zhang Heng looked at Li Jun, who was standing beside Wenxiu. He looked at the two people walking away and shook his head. He had really fallen asleep in a daze.
The staff of the cloth villa had already seen Wenxiu twice. Although she was not dressed very well, but compared to those of the same standard of living, Wenxiu was considered a big customer. Seeing Wenxiu enter, the assistant smiled and asked, “What do you want to buy today, Sister-in-law? How much cotton do you weigh? ”
However, Wenxiu shook her head. “I don’t buy cloth or cotton today. I want to meet your boss and discuss something with him.” Is he there? ”
The assistant did not know why Wenxiu wanted to see the boss, but he nodded without hesitation. “I’m here. Please come over here sister-in-law. I’ll call you over right away.”
“Thank you!”
The owner of the cloth farm was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was in the backyard punishing his ignorant son, but after hearing from the waiter that a sister-in-law had something to talk to him about, he reluctantly came out.
“Sister-in-law, this is our shopkeeper. If you have something to say, just tell him.” The waiter smiled with a friendly face before introducing Wen Xiu to the owner of the store. “The owner is this little sister-in-law.”
“Alright, you can go now!” The shopkeeper was not in a good mood and was feeling impatient!
The shop assistant didn’t want to get into trouble, so he quickly retreated, and hurriedly went to greet the other guests. There were no customers in the shop. Other than Wen Xiu, there was only Li Jun.
Li Jun was picking out fabric!
Wenxiu’s attention was not on Li Jun at all. She had only come to the cloth farm on the spur of the moment to exchange some new ideas for some silver. Seeing that the owner’s expression was not good, she took the initiative to smile at him and greeted him, “Shopkeeper, I know that you are the largest cloth farm in the town.
The shopkeeper sized up Wen Xiu. Other than her handsome facial features, she was quite thin and didn’t wear much. Although her clothes were clean, they were all patches. It was obvious that she was from a poor family.
What new ideas did she have that she could sell herself?
The storekeeper seemed to look down on Wenxiu!
Wenxiu’s eyes were sharp and she saw through the shopkeeper’s impatience and displeasure with a single glance. However, she was not angry. After all, she really had a ‘poverty-stricken appearance’.
“Shopkeeper, you only sell sheets, right?”
“Of course!”
In addition to the quilts and clothing custom-made by the big families, they mainly sold cloth and cotton. The reason why his shop was so big was because cotton also took up a lot of space, but one couldn’t ignore the fact that the profits were also quite high. Plus, the people who bought the cotton also bought the bedsheets, or the people who bought the bedsheets also bought the cotton.
A smile as sweet as sugar appeared on her face, “Boss, if your home’s sheets were replaced with a blanket and sold in a complete set, do you think the profits would double?”
“Hmm?”
When the shopkeeper suddenly heard Wenxiu’s words, he immediately sobered up. The contempt he had for her disappeared completely. Instead, he said in a serious manner, “If little sister-in-law has anything to say, feel free to say it.”
His attitude changed just like that?
Wenxiu was not someone who was insatiable. She never thought that she would be able to get a new idea from this house. “If I tell you about it, you’ll understand it all after a glance. How can I sell you my idea?”
Although the shopkeeper looked down on the poor, his mind was quite pure and honest. He was always honest in his conduct of business. “Sister-in-law, what do you think?”
The smile on Wen Xiu’s face became sweeter. She smiled and said, “Shopkeeper, how about this. I will sell you my new idea for ten taels of silver.” If you’re not satisfied, you can’t use my idea, and you don’t have to pay me, okay? ”
“Ten taels of silver?” Isn’t that too much? ”
“Then I can also go to another house!”
The shopkeeper was afraid that if it was a good idea, he wouldn’t be able to make it easy on his opponent. After hesitating for a moment, he agreed, “Ok, go ahead.”
Wenxiu did not immediately say it. Instead, she quickly wrote a contract on a piece of paper. Only after the shopkeeper had pressed his hand on it could she say it. As for the contents of the contract, the shopkeeper wasn’t satisfied with the new idea, so he couldn’t use it and promote it without paying for it. She wasn’t an idiot. What if they didn’t give her any money?
The storekeeper saw that Wenxiu was still able to read and even write. Although his writing was not good, it was already very impressive. He looked at the contract and signed it in the corner before pressing his hand on it.
Wen Xiu kept the contract satisfactorily and quickly drew the original model on the paper.
When the shopkeeper saw the picture on the paper, his eyes suddenly lit up.
