Chapter 86: The Road to Fortune
The guy smiled: "The little lady has a really good eye, this is the best fine cotton, one hundred and fifty wen a horse." ”
Lin Yi was thinking about buying a few horses, but the guy over there thought she was too expensive and didn't want to buy them, so he hurriedly said: "Our fine cotton is the best in the town, you touch this material, it's fine and soft, and it is very comfortable to wear on your body, and you won't cut your skin at all." ”
As he spoke, the guy's eyes turned to Ji Qianmo's face and persuaded: "Big brother is born with a talent, but this dress is too short, just buy some and go back to make a dress!" ”
Lin Yi thought about it, so he said, "Let's have two horses for this." ”
"Howler!" The man was very happy, helped Lin Yi tie up the cotton cloth as well, and handed it over: "Four pieces of cloth, a total of four hundred and sixty Wen." ”
Ji Qianmo stretched out his hand and took the cloth.
Next to him, Lin Yi picked out some needlework and thread, then paid the money, and was about to leave, but saw a carriage not far away.
The carriage soon approached and stopped at the gate of the cloth village, and then a middle-aged man stepped out of the carriage, holding two pieces of cloth in his hands, one the tender green of the grass and the other the color of peach blossom.
The cloth looked bright and shiny, and it was two silks.
When the guy saw the middle-aged man, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Shopkeeper, you are back, Miss Zhang has sent someone to ask several times." ”
So saying, the man reached out to take the fabric from the shopkeeper's hand.
The shopkeeper was about to give it to him, but he caught a glimpse of the dirt on his hands, frowned, and said, "Look at your dirty hands, you can't afford to sell this cloth if you touch it." Forget it, I'll take it myself in. ”
The guy retracted his hand, and watched the shopkeeper take the two pieces of cloth in, only to feel that his hand was itchy, such a good fabric, I really wanted to touch it.
Lin Yi looked at the guy's itchy appearance, and couldn't help but laugh secretly, and asked with a smile: "How much is that cloth?" Is it more expensive than people? ”
In ancient times, people could be bought and sold, and some families were too poor to survive, so they would choose to sell their children.
When Lin Yi was in modern times, he had heard that silk was very expensive in ancient times, and he didn't know how much it was in this era.
The man stammered, "That's silk, it's precious, and a horse costs fifteen taels of silver." ”
That guy has a good temperament, unlike some guys in the store, who hate the poor and love the rich, and looks like he is underwhelmed.
"That's really expensive, and ordinary farmers can't afford to wear it."
"But no, because it's too expensive, our cloth village has always been not for sale, only when the customer takes the initiative to buy and pays a deposit, our shopkeeper will go to the county to bring in a friend from the outside."
When Lin Yi heard this, he suddenly realized: "I see." That little brother, we will go first, and we will come back later if we need to. ”
The guy nodded hurriedly and sent them to the door.
Lin Yi walked out, while thinking in his heart, this silk is so expensive, if it can raise silkworms and weave cloth, it is a way to make a fortune.
It's just that if you want to raise silkworms, you first have to solve the problem of mulberry leaves, your own land is now less, and it is a field, if it is used to plant mulberry trees, then the food will be gone.
It seems that it is best to think of making money and buy more mountainous land to grow mulberry trees and raise silkworms.
However, this matter was not in a hurry, Lin Yi had this plan in his heart, so he put it down first, and waited until the time was ripe to make plans in the future.
Lin Yi and Ji Qianmo returned to the side of the carriage, Ji Qianmo got into the carriage with the pieces of cloth, turned around and stretched out his hand to Lin Yi.
"Daughter-in-law, I'll pull you."
