Chapter 328: Setting up a stall to buy cloth with my cousin
The entire winter in Nanxin is warm and bright, a temperature Han Xinxin has never felt in Dongji.
Half a month later, Deng Youning followed the Han brothers and sisters all the way to Yuncheng.
In the past half month, there has been no news about Li Tianzhuo.
She herself was wondering, is Li Tianzhuo determined to break off relations with her?
I went to the palace to look for him, but the people there just said that he hadn't returned yet.
Uncle Gui was still very enthusiastic towards Deng Youning and invited her to continue living in his mansion.
But since Li Tianzhuo is not at home, there is no point in Deng Youning staying.
The three of them couldn't get through life without any news about Li Tianzhuo.
They rented a house in Yuncheng very close to Changle Palace and settled down temporarily.
In the evening, the three of them got together for dinner.
"Xinxin, how do you plan to sell that truckload of goods first?" Han Xian asked urgently.
The fabrics Han Xinxin brought from Dongji filled a whole carriage. They were all fabrics she picked that were popular in the Dongji market and sold well by the Han family.
Naturally, there are high, medium and low-end ones.
The quantity of those things is not too much, but not too little either.
But leaving it in the carriage all the time is not a good idea. If it rains or something, it will all get wet!
The house they rented was not big, and there were no spare rooms except for the ones they and their servants lived in, so Han Xian was in a hurry.
"I plan to open a Xiangrongfang branch in Yuncheng, but I don't know if the people of Nanxin will like these fabrics."
"In order to prevent our investment from failing, I need to set up a stall on the street first to see the results before making a decision."
Han Xinxin spoke of her plan calmly.
She had made thorough preparations, otherwise she would not have thought of expanding her business to Yuncheng.
Before, her mother Shi said that if she went to Nanxin to do business, she might be able to take advantage of the influence of Prince Li Tianzhuo.
But Han Xinxin is not someone who relies solely on opportunism.
When she does business, she always keeps her feet on the ground!
"That's fine, we'll just test the waters in the early stages!"
"Cousin, I'll go with you to set up the stall tomorrow!"
Deng Youning was very concerned about this.
It just so happened that she had nothing to do.
This would also help distract attention from Li Tianzhuo.
Deng Youning took the map of Yuncheng and discussed with Han Xinxin where it would be best to set up a stall.
Finally, they decided to display the three grades of cloth in three different neighborhoods where different groups of people gathered.
On the first day, they chose Yangguan Lane, the outermost area of Yuncheng.
This place is mostly where ordinary people gather. There are also many shops on the street and it is very lively.
The location they chose was in the middle of the street, neither at the end nor at the end, which was the best spot.
There is a steamed bun stall and a grain and oil store nearby.
But what is special is that all the people doing business are men, and there are almost no women.
After the stall was set up, two unfamiliar beauties, Deng Youning and Han Xinxin, stood there and instantly attracted the attention of many curious people.
Seeing that they were buying cloth, many people who thought they would not be able to use it just looked at it and left.
The stall has been set up for an incense stick of time, but no one is open yet.
Finally, a middle-aged woman came. She seemed very eager to buy their cloth and had already started to choose.
"Madam, would you like to buy some cloth?"
"Our cloth is from Dongji Xiangrongfang. You can ask about this name. It is widely circulated in the four countries. This material and style are the most popular in Dongji right now."
"Look, this coarse indigo cloth sets off the fair complexion best. This silk is from the silkworms we raised in the spring."
Han Xinxin introduced the woman from time to time.
Her accent was indeed that of Dongji Country, and the woman believed that the cloth came from Dongji.
But at the same time, she also felt a little uneasy because she was from Dongji and was so famous.
"Oh, you are from Dongji Country. You have come a long way, over mountains and across rivers."
"The same thing should be more expensive than in our native Nanxin, right?"
Han Xinxin couldn't help but smile when she heard that.
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. It is not expensive. We will sell it to the people of Nanxin at the same price as we sell it to the people of Dongji."
She had not intended to travel thousands of miles to Nanxin just to earn the hard-earned money of the people.
These were the only low- and mid-end goods she had prepared.
It's just to get the name out there first.
"Look at what I have here, that's all. After you buy this, if you want to come back to me to buy again, there won't be any more!"
As soon as she said this, the woman's eyes widened and she decided to buy one.
"I want this blue one. How much is it?"
"This is pure cotton cloth, one hundred and fifty cents." Han Xinxin replied.
This price is really a good deal. One piece of cloth is enough to make clothes for at least two adults.
Moreover, the Han family's materials are all of excellent quality and conscientiousness.
The woman also thought it was very good and bought another one.
She helped Han Xinxin open a business, and Han Xinxin was so happy that she gave her a small piece of silk material, which could be used to make a few handkerchiefs or a women's bra.
This silk fabric is the coolest to wear in summer.
The woman left very satisfied.
Seeing them open for business, Han Xian felt much more relieved.
His injuries had not yet healed, so it was not advisable for him to stay outside for too long. After giving the two of them a few words of advice, he went back to rest.
In the few hours after he left, the two sisters continued to sell a lot.
By noon, only half of the cloth was left on the stall.
"Miss, at this rate, we can sell out all in one day!" Ying Shi also said with a little excitement.
"Cousin, you must be hungry. Why don't Yingshi and I go to the steamed bun stall in front and buy three bowls of steamed buns for us?" Deng Youning suggested, pointing at the steamed bun stall.
The two stalls were very close to each other, and Deng Youning had been craving for the steamed buns all morning, smelling the aroma.
Han Xinxin naturally saw through her thoughts, pinched her nose, and said angrily: "Little greedy cat, go quickly, my bowl is not spicy!"
"Hey, as you command!"
Deng Youning squinted her eyes and smiled, then put his arm around Ying Shi's arm, and they walked away together.
Only in front of her sisters would Deng Youning occasionally act coquettishly and cutely, showing a less aggressive personality.
Although the two houses were not far away, there was an old man selling candied haws in between. His tall and thick candied haws stand blocked the view, so one could not see anything on the other side.
After Han Xinxin sold a few more pieces of cloth, several men with shifty eyes who looked like bad guys gathered around the cloth stall.
They were picking cloth casually, seemingly picking cloth, but actually they were looking at Han Xinxin.
The look in his eyes was full of filth, and it was clear that he wanted to do something to her.
"Is the girl from Dongji?"
The skinny man who took the lead asked teasingly.
Han Xinxin didn't want to pay attention to them and just nodded slightly.
The man asked again, "Have you betrothed her?"
Han Xinxin has followed her mother Shi in doing business since she was a child, so she naturally has these ideas.
"Of course he is betrothed. My second child is already three years old!"
She pretended to be an old lady and looked at them with a forced smile.
"Oh? That lady's husband is really brave. He didn't even stay with such a beautiful lady, and let you and your sister set up the stall alone?"
"Why don't you divorce him as soon as possible and stay with me, your brother? I will definitely be kind and gentle to you and will never treat you unfairly."
"Oh, by the way, brother, I have been following you for a long time. Your sister and maidservant are both pretty, and my brothers don't have wives either, so why not let them all marry us!"
