The person then nodded when asked for items such as quilts and duvet covers.

"My wife sells them. How much do you want? We'll give you the lowest price and deliver it to your door."

The purchase of so much money must have involved a large number of people, either a lord or a wealthy family with guards or thugs. Moreover, seeing that Qin Yiyi's clothes were worth at least one gold coin, he concealed his excitement.

He was a traveling merchant who sold goods across several territories. He usually made a living by being charming and offering affordable prices. This was the biggest order he had received so far this winter!

His stall wasn't big, but he was very resourceful. He spent the whole summer drinking and playing cards with the purchasing agents in the chaotic area before finally getting this opportunity. The purchasing agents originally thought he could only stock a little bit of goods, but this time they were determined to give him a big surprise and not underestimate him!

Qin Yiyi touched her chin.

"How much does the quilt weigh? Is the cotton freshly fluffed?"

"We have quilts weighing three or five pounds each, and we also have old quilts, but the cotton is packed too tightly and they're not very warm. You definitely want a new one, so if it's a new quilt..."

He gritted his teeth, determined to make this big client his friend.

"The new quilts are all made with new cotton. They cost three silver coins per pound. A quilt weighing three pounds would cost nine silver coins, and a quilt weighing five pounds would cost fifteen silver coins!"

"I want three hundred quilts weighing three catties each, plus eight hundred hot water bottles. I'll pay you thirty gold coins!"

"In addition, I want twenty more 5-pound cotton quilts, which will cost three gold coins in total. Thirty-three gold coins plus eight more gold coins will make forty-one gold coins. I'll pay you eleven gold coins as a deposit first, and you can pay the balance of the remaining thirty gold coins upon receiving the goods!"

Qin Yiyi didn't haggle anymore. She compared the quilts and yarn at the surrounding stalls and found this one to be the cheapest and best. The price of the quilt had also been lowered, so she didn't try to bargain any further.

It's business, after all, and of course, the most important thing is that she doesn't need the money.

The yarn was taken back and distributed to every household. How it was turned into sweaters was their own business. As for the quilts... she had originally planned to give each household one quilt. However, if things were taken too easily, problems would arise. Some arrogant people might complain that it was three pounds instead of five. Therefore, she decided to set a threshold and look at these people's performance scores over the past two months. Only those who met the performance standards could receive the quilts!

When something is not easy to obtain, and you are grateful to get it, it's like buying a house. People without a house want one of their own, and they are lucky if they can afford an old, small house. People with a house want to upgrade to a bigger one. People's desires can increase, but what matches their desires must be their ability.

Things that are hard-won are always cherished.

Things that cost a lot of money are always cherished.

The stall owner was already incredibly excited.

"Take a look at your home address and I'll deliver it to you. Don't worry, I'm a legitimate businessman in Chaos Area. I pay taxes and am registered. I won't run away with your deposit. I'll go to the other stall right away and call my wife over. We'll get this done for you right away!"

Once this order is placed, his daughter, his dear daughter, will have money to see a doctor!

[I'm writing two books simultaneously, each 6,000 words, which means 12,000 words a day. I've been behind on word count these past few days since I went out for entertainment. I could have made up for it this weekend, but then I took my cat to get spayed and cleaned up afterward, and picked up a package, so I'm in a bit more debt. Today I've decided to use up my monthly leave and start updating normally at 2,000 words per chapter from tomorrow. Otherwise, making up for the word count will always result in 6,000 words per chapter, which isn't good for reading.]
