But what she's launching now is a matching bra and panties in the same color scheme, meaning one piece of fabric can be used to make both bras and panties.
One bolt of fabric can make about ninety panties, and one bolt of fabric can make eighty bras. So, one bolt of fabric can only make forty sets of bras and panties.
If that's the case, even with two bolts of cloth, she would only get eighty sets of bras and panties, which isn't worthwhile, so she plans to split them up.
Since she ordered 10,000 bolts of dyed fabric, with 500 bolts for each style, she could divide the 500 bolts into two hundred and fifty bolts for bras and another two hundred and fifty bolts for panties. That way, she could sell the extra panties separately and wouldn't lose money no matter what.
If that's the case, then she has 5,000 bolts of dyed cloth to make bras, and 5,000 bolts can make 400,000 bras.
One hundred catties of wool can make about two thousand pairs of breast pads, and four hundred thousand bras would require twenty thousand catties of wool, which is sixteen thousand copper coins.
Good heavens!
When Yunling calculated it, her mind went blank. This money came from incredibly hard-earned money, and she could actually sell all 400,000 bras?!
No, no, that won't do.
Ma Mu noticed a bead of sweat on Yun Ling's forehead and couldn't help but smirk.
"What's wrong? Haven't thought it through yet?"
Pei Lin also noticed Yun Ling's unusual behavior. He wanted to take her hand, but since they were both dressed as men, he was afraid of being judged, so he could only pat her shoulder and ask softly:
Are you alright?
"I'm fine. I just wanted to ask Uncle Cai, what do you consider to be a large number?"
Ma Mu's eyes darted around, and he casually remarked...
"Tens of thousands, I guess."
Yunling lowered her eyes, knowing he was being coy, and smiled and nodded in response:
"Thank you for letting me know, Uncle Cai. It's getting late, and we still have things to do, so let's go now."
"Hey, why are you in such a hurry? How much wool do you want? The wool will be sheared in the spring after the New Year. If you want to buy it, you need to place an order in advance, otherwise you won't be able to buy it later."
"It's okay, let me think about it some more."
"What are you thinking? You think I'd cheat you out of your money or extort you? Even if you were willing, Liu Erlang wouldn't, would he?"
Yunling felt uncomfortable with this pressure and was waiting for Gangzi to speak, but then she thought that Gangzi had gone to see Chen Jie off and hadn't come along. Without such a straight man, it was indeed difficult to deal with difficult people.
When Liu Erlang heard Ma Mu mention him, he felt he was of great use and patted his chest in response:
"Of course, Uncle Cai has to consider the relationship between the Liu family and the Ma family, and he won't try to cheat you."
"Besides, six hundred coins a catty isn't expensive. Didn't you win twenty thousand coins a while ago by playing polo? That could buy so much wool."
Pei Lin thought it wasn't expensive when Liu Erlang said it wasn't expensive. Besides, Yunling had hesitated a lot when they were about to buy the ordination certificate. Perhaps 600 coins per catty was a bit difficult for her.
Since they'll be husband and wife sooner or later, his money is naturally her money too. If she won't contribute, then he will.
"How many kilograms do you want to buy? I'll buy them for you."
Yunling felt as if she were trapped in a prison, surrounded by idiots, but she couldn't ruin her image, so she could only endure it.
It's one thing for Liu Erlang to throw out all her assets like he's got a brain full of shit, but Pei Lin, who should have been on her side, is acting like he's eaten the thickest fermented rice wine, constantly trying to spend money on her, as if he gets itchy just having that money on him.
Yunling's head was throbbing slightly, but fortunately Tang Ling came to her rescue in time.
“Since our brother said he’ll think about it, then let him think about it some more. There’s more than one person in the world who can do this kind of business. People have to compare things multiple times. How can Erlang’s judgment be so poor? Wasn’t it you who inquired about a merchant who travels to the Khitan just now? We can’t just waste the money we spent on inquiring about him, can we?”
Yunling breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Tang Ling was perceptive; otherwise, the unpleasant words that came out of her mouth would have made it difficult to turn back later.
Seeing that Yun Ling didn't refute Tang Ling, Pei Lin assumed she shared the same idea and nodded, saying:
"Let me think about it some more, let me think about it some more. I'll trouble Liu Er to see Uncle Cai out."
Liu Erlang was completely bewildered. What was this thing? Weren't they on the street? Where was he taking people?
But by the time he came to his senses, Yunling and the others had already gone far away. He looked at Ma Muti with an embarrassed expression. In fact, their relationship wasn't as good as he claimed. Now that Yunling hadn't closed the deal with this man, it made him even more embarrassed. So he could only stand there with a fake smile, waiting for the man to leave.
After walking through an alley, Pei Linfang asked:
"Hey, you little bug, aren't we going to find that merchant who travels to the Khitan? Where are you headed?"
"I'm not looking anymore."
"Not looking anymore??? Not buying wool anymore???"
"No, that's not it. I think since that person also lives near Ma Xing Street, he must know all these people inside and out. Didn't you hear what that young lady said? She said that this person likes to boast, so I doubt he'll give a fair price."
Pei Lin's eyes widened as if he had discovered a shocking secret, and he exclaimed:
"Do you really think 600 coins a pound of wool is expensive?"
Yunling couldn't help but raise her hand and slap him.
"Go to hell! I've wanted to curse you for ages today. What's wrong with you? Is it because you have too much money? It's fine if there were no outsiders at the ordination certificate office, but during the business negotiations just now, you were the one who did all the buying, buying, buying. What the hell? Is your brain filled with shit?"
Hearing her say, "It's fine as long as there are no outsiders," Pei Lin was naturally happy. The absence of outsiders meant she considered him one of the family, or even family, so he disregarded Yun Ling's insults.
"Is that how you swear?"
“Go ahead and curse, do you think I care about your feelings? We’re in business, and it’s our skill to negotiate a lower price and make a higher profit. It’s like you feel a sense of accomplishment when you cure a patient. If you can’t understand, then shut your mouth, or I’ll slap you.”
"Then I'll just keep quiet next time."
Pei Lin didn't understand business matters at all; he just wanted to be good to Yun Ling. Now that he understands, he naturally won't make the same mistake again.
"Hey, since we're already here, why don't we go straight to the entertainment district?"
Yunling was a little confused about Pei Lin's thought process. Weren't they arguing? How did they manage to get back to the topic of going to see the entertainment venue so quickly?
But since she's already here, and she hasn't seen Wazi before, she might as well take a look; she can't lose anything that way.
"These tiles are divided into medium-sized tiles and low-sized tiles..."
