Chi Yu drunkenly found herself transmigrated into a cannon-fodder character in a rural farming novel that emphasized hardship and survival. In the original story, the main character was accused of ...
Tomorrow she will take her child, her brother and sister-in-law, and Qin Mu down the mountain.
Before she left, she wanted to get together with the rest of her family to discuss the upcoming plans, especially for the grocery store.
Starting in April, people from Xiechi'ao can come to buy grain.
She had to set aside more food, otherwise she feared the shop would be empty of grain before she even returned.
Selling grain to the people of Xiechi'ao is considered a good deed.
Although it's not much, merit accumulates little by little, and can help crops in the space, shortening the time by even one day.
Just then, she heard a sound coming from outside the door, so she came out of the house.
When he saw Su Yu and Song Chongjin outside the door, he was still a little puzzled.
"You two came here so late at night to buy something?"
Seeing the fish in the pond, Su Yu stepped forward and asked, "Young lady, do you have any fine cotton cloth or last year's cotton?"
There was both cotton and fine cotton cloth in the pond, but there wasn't much fine cotton cloth left because it had been used to make clothes for my older brother and sister-in-law.
However, there were still about ten pounds of cotton left.
"Yes! But the fine cotton fabric I have here is all thick, the kind of material used for making winter clothes."
"Yes, yes, but I don't know how much to sell it for."
I want a length of fine cotton cloth, and I need a pound of cotton first.
No, the cloth must be three zhang long. If possible, I'd like a bolt of cloth.
As for the cotton, I need eight pounds.
Anyway, she's not short of money, so if she can buy more, she'll naturally buy more.
Nobody knows what this winter will be like.
When they fled here, they brought two quilts with them, and they did have thick winter clothes.
She wanted to buy more; it couldn't hurt.
Besides being used to make menstrual belts, cotton cloth can also be used to make two new winter outfits for An'an.
If she could buy a horse, she would also like to make a separate quilt weighing five or six pounds for An'an.
Upon hearing that so much was required, Chi Yu decisively refused: "Sister Song, the general store has a limited supply of goods."
You're asking for too much. If I give it to you, and other people also have the need, then there won't be anywhere to buy it.
I can only give you a length of cloth at most. That should be enough for you to make clothes.
As for cotton, I'm sorry, I can't give you that much either.
"If you want it, I can spare a pound for you."
She needs to take these things out and put them in the west wing before she leaves tomorrow.
If anyone else wants to buy some, the shop will have some too.
Of course, the most important thing in the shop right now is food.
Su Yu felt a little disappointed when she heard that she could only buy one zhang of cloth and one jin of cotton, but she could understand.
After all, the general store here is not big, but with the surrounding residents, there are more than a thousand people.
It's really not easy to buy these things in this kind of weather.
You might not even be able to buy these in the county town.
Thinking about it, she asked, "How much do these cost?"
"I bought the fine cotton cloth last winter, and it was never cheap back then."
The original price of a bolt of cloth is four taels. If you want it, just add five coins as a service fee.
A bolt of cloth is four zhang long, which means one zhang equals one liang. You give me one liang and five wen.
The cotton was purchased after a heavy rain last winter, so the price was slightly higher.
Normally, the price of a pound of new cotton fluctuates between fifty and eighty coins.
Last year was a special case; when I bought it, it cost 150 coins per jin.
"If you want, give me an extra five coins as a service fee."
Before Su Yu's family was destroyed, they owned a cloth shop business.
One of the shops that came with her dowry was also involved in this business.
