Chapter 56 Cloth Village

Su Yu is now very familiar with Sister Qin, so Qin Qing instigated Su Yu to book a private room in Dayue Building tomorrow night to welcome her cousin.

Su Yu agreed, but emphasized that he had to bring his two good friends with him. Qin Qing agreed this time quite readily.

After spending so much money from Sister Qin, he had to ask him back and forth. Besides, it was mainly because Qin Qing knew that he had money, otherwise he would not have let him spend money.

After seeing off Sister Qin and sisters, Su Yu carried Xiao Chumo, who was covered in mud and grass, out of the fence.

The little guy's palm tightly grasped the ears of a rabbit, and he refused to let go. Su Yu didn't dare to break it hard, so he had to pick it up with the person and the rabbit.

After landing, Xiao Chumo pointed to the rabbit and his little mouth, and Aba muttered a bunch of immortal words that Su Yu couldn't understand.

"Do you want to eat rabbits?" Su Yu asked curiously.

"Ah, I'll spit..." Xiao Chumo replied.

Su Yu grinned and shouted at A Yu in the kitchen: "Can Chumo eat meat now?"

A Yu smiled and said, "It should be OK to stew it a little harder."

"Then let's stew this rabbit for her."

Xiao Chumo's big eyes rolled, spread her chubby calves and ran into the kitchen.

The child is wearing a small floral cotton jacket sewn by Ayu who stayed up late, open-crotch pants, and a tiger-head hat on his head. After all, his hair is not long yet, so he is afraid of blowing the child without a hat.

Qin Qing had just buried her in the dark, saying that the child was so rustic that he was useless to have such a lively and delicate appearance. He also said that when she was free, she would go to Qingzhou Prefecture to buy a set of good materials for her child.

Su Yu did not stay at home for lunch, but planned to go out for a walk.

I just woke up from meditation and entered into meditation. I was when I was refreshed and full of energy, and I had no appetite at all.

Yixintang's reputation is almost ruined. Everyone on the street knows that the shopkeeper Su Xiao is not doing his job and is idle. He has been in a month and has not opened his shop for half a month.

Su Yu was a little ashamed.

It’s not that I don’t open the door, it’s that I really don’t have time.

After a trip to the blacksmith shop, he informed Yang Tiehua that he had seen him tomorrow night, Su Yu went straight to Li Ji Buzhuang.

At this moment, Qinghe County can be said to be overcrowded. I heard that the outer city is currently undertaking a vigorous city-building campaign, and the scale of expansion is twice as large as that of the inner city.

So during this period, outsiders have come to buy shops and houses in the inner city, and housing prices have also risen as the water rises.

Li Ji Buzhuang is a time-honored brand, and its business was still very good in the past. However, since Li Xiaohui's father passed away, the family has lost its pillars and the orphan and widowed mother are excluded. Although they still guard the big shop left by their ancestors, their business is no longer as good as before.

Most of the tailor and embroiderer left, and there were no more people left.

When Su Yu entered the cloth shop, the business was very deserted, and only one embroidered woman was tidying up the cloth behind the counter.

"Brother Su, are you here to find my young master?" The embroiderer has been working in the cloth shop for most of her life and naturally recognizes Su Yu.

"Yes, where are Xiaohui others?"

"The young master went to Taipei City early in the morning. If you look at the time, you will be back soon. Why don't Brother Su be in the cloth shop and wait?"

"Okay, I'll wait for him."

The embroidered lady brought tea and snacks to entertain Su Yu, and then went to the backyard. When she came back, a beautiful woman with a pretty face followed behind her.

Xiaohui's mother, Li Zhang,

Li Zhang's facial features are not delicate. After being pieced together, they are not very big beauty, but it is strange that the other person looks super pleasing to the eye and gives people a very comfortable feeling.

Perhaps it was her sad temperament, coupled with her soft and soft words when she spoke, which invisibly gave men a strong desire to protect themselves.

There is a kind of woman who looks ordinary but has a unique charm and a unique flavor.

No wonder the two reader from Chang'an would have made her think.

"Hello Aunt Li, I'm here to find Xiaohui," Su Yu hurriedly got up.

"Xiao Su, sit down,"

Li Zhang wore a wide long dress with a maroon color, completely covering up her beautiful figure. Even though she was so conservative, Su Yu knew that since Xiaohui's father passed away, Qinghe County had never stopped her from attacking Li Zhang.

"Xiaohui went to Taipei City early in the morning. Silkworm merchants from Qingzhou are auctioning a batch of high-quality silk there. Although we definitely can't buy it, we still want to give it a try."

Su Yu knew that the cloth shop was in a downturn at the moment, but this was definitely not because Aunt Li’s embroidery work was not good, but because she had no background and was excluded by her colleagues.

Li Zhang's embroidery skills are extremely outstanding, especially women's dresses. Whether it is colorful brocade embroidery, printing and dyeing patterns, or styles, they are very popular among rich women.

But the clothes she is good at needing high-quality raw materials to fully reflect.

The best ingredients are of course expensive.

Su Yu suddenly said, "Aunt Li, I heard Xiaohui say that you are best at weaving silk, but the price of good silk has always been high, and the supply of goods is scarce. Various cloth merchants have been rushing to buy it. The silkworm merchants in Qingzhou only come this time a year. It's a pity that you missed it. If your funds are tight, I can sponsor some."

Li Zhang, who was originally worried, was stunned when he heard this, shook his head and smiled:

"Xiao Su is kidding. Qingzhou Prefecture produces a lot of silk, and the silk produced is the best quality in Shannandao, and the price is even more expensive. You can't fill the gap here."

"Let me tell me, what if I can fill it in?" Su Yu smiled.

Li Zhang covered her mouth and laughed, thinking that Su Yu was joking with her.

"Since Xiao Su is curious, Aunt Li might as well tell you that one tael of raw silk is five cents and two cents of silver. It takes between thirty taels to make one piece of silk. In other words, a piece of silk costs fifteen taels of silver. This is still ordinary gauze or gauze, and the pattern cannot be too complicated. But if it is the satin silk from Qingzhou Prefecture this time, it will cost 15 taels of silver."

"In fact, a piece of silk is only enough to weave a set of outer shirts and underwear. At the current level of our cloth shop, we could only make thirty pieces of satin and brocade clothes before the New Year. However, our deposit of silver is only enough to support making five pieces. Including all the artificial materials, it also costs about 1,500 taels of silver."

"The key is that if you only buy such a little silk, the Qingzhou silkworm merchants will not look at you directly, so I said that Xiaohui is just trying his luck this time."

After Su Yu finished listening, the abacus in his mind began to sing.

Five ready-made garments cost 1,500 taels. If you have thirty pieces, that would be 9,000 taels, which is indeed a considerable amount.

However, Xiaohui's silly boy once revealed to himself that a high-quality silk garment would have a profit of about fifty taels.

If you look at it this way, you're actually quite profitable.

If this time I only sponsor Li Ji Clothing, I can only make quick money. It is not suitable, so it is better to...

"Aunt Li, do you think this is OK? I spent 10,000 taels of silver to invest in stocks from you. First, I can get rid of your current financial difficulties, and second, I can also make the funds of the cloth shop flow. I only get 30% of the dividends. What do you think? Should you trust me as a person?"

Li Zhang's beautiful big eyes widened and couldn't believe it: "Of course I can trust you, but Xiao Su, where did you get so much money?"

Su Yu really wanted to say that this is the inheritance my father left to me, but then he thought, if you, a pharmacy shop, can you make so much money for patients to make so much? Isn’t this slandering my father’s face?

If I really want to say that, I’m afraid that Su Yunlan’s coffin lid will not be suppressed.
