The Dong family has been processing the fabrics cheaply since they took them back to the cloth store, but they still have a backlog of half a warehouse.

Because of the accident on the merchant ship, I had no money left, so I had to rely on the remaining cloth in the store to find a way to turn around.

But if we want to turn around, these pieces of cloth cannot be sold for five feet for a dozen coins like they were sold to Lu Xiangge that day.

That's not selling, that's giving money away.

Dong Yong soaked the hem of Lu Sheige's clothes and rubbed them for half a day to make sure they wouldn't fade, but he didn't know what to do.

If the white cloths left in the shop, as well as the unevenly dyed coarse cloths, could be re-dyed, would they be able to be sold at a higher price?

It's not like my father and brother have never thought about this matter.

But if you want to re-dye, you have to transport these cloths to Huaicheng. Not to mention the cost of going back and forth, just dyeing, not just de-dying, will also cost a lot of money.

If you keep flipping back and forth, you might even lose your capital by then.

"You...you said, can my cloth be re-dyed?"

When he said this, Dong Yong's heart was trembling.

Dad and the eldest brother are back, but there is no news about the second brother. The eldest brother's leg is injured, and the father has to take care of the family and find time to find out about the second brother.

He was still young and couldn't help him even if he wanted to. He could only try his best to take care of the shop so that his elder brother and father would have less to worry about.

"I can dye it."

Lu Xiangge didn't dare to say too much, "If you want to learn dyeing, you still have to go to a dyeing workshop to learn. I don't know much."

She only knew how to do it when she was in college. She and her roommate made money by doing handiwork and learned it online. She dyed it herself for fun, but she didn't have that much confidence if she really wanted to dye a whole piece of cloth.

"I can't enter the dyeing workshop. No matter who owns the dyeing workshop, they can't accept outsiders as apprentices."

Dong Yong looked at Lu Xiangge, as if he had seen a light of hope, his eyes full of expectation, "There are some damaged pieces of cloth in my warehouse, can you teach me."

Even if you just dye it a maroon like this little brother's, it's better than leaving a pile of cloth gathering dust in the library.

"This is not okay, I just did it on my own..."

Lu Sheige didn't dare to agree to this matter carelessly. Just kidding, dyeing is not cooking.

If the food is not done well, the best thing is to throw it out and start over again. If the fabric is not dyed well, it will not be as simple as one or two pieces of cloth."

Unexpectedly, Dong Yong burst into tears when he heard her refusal, "After my father and my eldest brother came back, they always wanted to sell the goods in the shop so that they could use the money to find my second brother. But my shop was taken over by me.

That cruel uncle held it in his hands for several months and ruined everything..."

Most of the valuable fabrics in the store have been sold out, leaving only worthless coarse linen.

Forgetting the remaining coarse linen, his uncle actually bought back unevenly dyed fabrics for a small bargain.

The price of burlap is low in the first place, but if it is dyed unevenly, it becomes even more difficult to sell.

If you want to sell it, you can only sell it at a cheap price. The cheaper the price, the more the Dong family will lose...

"Although dad and eldest brother are back, second brother has not come back. Grandma's eyes were blinded by crying. She...she still doesn't know that second brother is not back...and my mother, because dad and brothers had an accident, their health has been...

It's not good. Now, although it is said that dad and eldest brother are back, the good eldest brother went out and came back with a broken leg. The good second brother went out, but there is no news..."

Speaking of this, Dong Yong couldn't help but burst into tears.

Although he was still young, these few short months had made him experience all the hardships of life.

He wished that everything could go back to a few months ago, when his father and brother did not go to sea and nothing happened, and he was still the carefree young man.

"Hey, don't cry!" Lu Shege looked at Qiu at a loss.

What can we do?

I didn't make people cry, how can I comfort them now?

Mrs. Qiu stepped forward, patted Dong Yong's back gently, and said softly: "Good boy, don't cry. Your father and brother are back, and life will gradually get better."

"But, my second brother, my second brother doesn't know whether he is dead or alive yet!"

Thinking of his second brother, Dong Yong cried more and more uncontrollably.

If he had known that his second brother would not come back, he would not have been so naughty and opposed him every time.

Not to mention Lu Sheige, even Qiu couldn't help feeling a little sad when listening to the crying of a young boy who was about the same age as his daughter-in-law.

If Dong Yong had been tougher, Lu Sheige could have refused, but when he cried like this, she felt a little soft-hearted.

"Hey, don't cry. I'm not saying I can't teach you, but I really know a limited number of things. I'm afraid I won't be able to teach you well, but I'll end up doing bad things with good intentions."

"No."

Dong Yong wiped his tears and finally stopped sobbing, "No matter how bad it is, how bad can it be? I'm not trying to embarrass you. You teach me how to dye it. I dye it myself. It has nothing to do with you if it gets bad."

I don’t let you teach me for nothing. Is it okay if you teach me the recipe and I give you money?”

Maybe he thought that he didn't have much money, so Dong Yong said with some embarrassment, "It's just that I don't have much money now, so I can only wait until I sell the cloth at home, and then I can share the profits with you. Don't do it either.

You are afraid that I will cheat, but when I earn money in the future, I will definitely repay your great kindness."

Lu Xiangge looked helplessly at Dong Yong, who was half a head taller than him, and his eyes that were red from crying. This young man was really brave.

She started a braised pork sausage business with the Ding family and asked for 10% of the profits for a year, and the Ding family happily agreed.

I discussed with Lai Fushun about the profit sharing of the long fish dish, but shopkeeper Li couldn't make the decision and had to ask the owner.

But the young boy in front of him dared to promise to share the profits with him when his father and brother were not around, just because he seemed to have no hope of dyeing a piece of clothing.

Jiangjiaba has many merchants traveling from north to south, but the business done in the cloth shop has little to do with them.

Almost all the cloth in the Dong family's cloth shop is sold to people from the town and the countryside.

Those in the town who have spare money will be more particular about it. For those poor people who come from the countryside and can't afford to pull cloth once a year, cheap and strong is the first choice.

Lu Sige followed Dong Yong to the Dong family's warehouse. The backlog of cloth in the Dong family's warehouse, except for the white cloth she bought last time, was all kinds of unevenly dyed cloth bought cheaply by Luo Guozi.

There are cotton, linen, and various coarse cloths.

Lu Xiangge walked around and looked at it carefully, and he had an idea in his mind.

"It's very easy to dye these white cloths. You can't say for sure what color you want, but you can always get it almost exactly the same. You just have to experiment a lot."

"These fabrics are better. Since they have been dyed, it is better to make them tie-dyed. However, tie-dying may not be acceptable to everyone, so we might as well sell them in bright colors."
