In order to sell more and have a larger profit margin, they did not go to the embroidery shop to purchase goods. Instead, they spent their own money to buy embroidery thread and cloth and asked the girls and young wives from several villages near their village to make them.
Those girls and young wives did not invest any capital, but just delivered the goods once a month and received cash.
After receiving the silver, those people received some embroidery cloth and thread from them, paid a part of the deposit, and then went back to do the work themselves.
Because it was the first time, many young girls and wives did not believe them and naturally were unwilling to pay the deposit.
At that time, they had to deliver the goods themselves, and only after they completed a batch did they become willing to hand it over.
This way, they can earn an extra three cents for each embroidered handkerchief compared to buying from an embroidery shop. Even if it is a little more tiring, it is worth it.
The task of collecting the embroidered handkerchiefs was entirely done by Zhou Dong and Zhou Hehua.
But now that Zhou Hehua has a child, she can help less often.
Listening to their business methods, Chaoge was very impressed.
“Who came up with these ideas?”
"It's what Xiao Niu thought. When we came here, we saw people delivering handkerchiefs here, and they were all snapped up. That's what we thought when we went back."
Chaoge looked at them with admiration, even though they were only ancient people and could not even recognize a single word.
But being able to rely on these and slowly figure out a business from failure is really amazing.
By this calculation, they could earn thirty-one taels and five cents of silver from these 4,500 embroidered handkerchiefs.
More than thirty taels, although it is a small amount of money for Chaoge, but for an ordinary farmer family, it is an astronomical figure!
And this was just a one-way trip, and they earned thirty-one taels and five cents.
When I bring back another batch of goods from Dongxiang Kingdom, I will earn at least this much.
Although this trip would take them nearly two months, how could an average person earn more than thirty taels in two months?
Even if it is divided among four people, with each person getting more than ten taels, it is impossible for an ordinary person to earn more than ten taels in a month.
"That's amazing! No wonder you guys are getting more and more motivated the more you work."
"Hey, stop teasing us.
Daqiang came back and told us that you opened a shop in your county, and that business was the best in the county, with the shop being packed with customers every day.
Our business is actually just about earning some hard work fees.”
As they were talking, everyone was already leading the carriage back.
Chaoge nodded: "It is indeed very hard, but compared to ordinary people, you are already very good.
Later, I plan to give you something to sell.
By then, the money you earn in a year will definitely be a hundred or a thousand times higher than this."
After listening to Chaoge's words, several people were shocked. They lowered their heads and began to count on their fingers, silently calculating how many times thirty taels were a hundred or a thousand...
“Get out of the way!
The ugly girl is throwing the bouquet! "
Just as a few people were counting on their fingers with their heads down, some "kind-hearted person" around them suddenly shouted loudly on the street!
When the four of them looked up again, there was no one around. Even Jun Yumo was taken away by Chaoge with a light skill!
The four of them looked up at the same time, and before they could react, they suddenly saw a colorful hydrangea falling from a high place, and it hit Zhou Daqiang's arms so accurately!
The whole place was silent. Chaoge, in Jun Yumo's arms, looked at the colorful hydrangea in Zhou Daqiang's arms and opened her mouth wide!
Zhou Daqing stared blankly at the hydrangea in his hand, then raised his eyes blankly and looked at the person on the small building.
Who knew, before we could see clearly who threw the hydrangea, suddenly there was a loud sound of gongs and drums, and the street, which had been quiet for a moment, suddenly became noisy!
It was as if time had just stopped and now it was continuing to run normally.
Zhou Daqiang only felt that his entire scalp was numb.
"Oh my! Are you stupid? Hurry up and run!
That was the daughter of the City Lord, the bouquet that was lost!
Everyone knows that the City Lord has an ugly daughter who is almost eighteen years old. If she doesn't get married, even the imperial court will intervene.
You kid, why are you still standing there?
"Before the people from the City Lord's Mansion arrive, run, run!"
I don’t know who was so kind that he disguised himself as a pedestrian, hid in the dark, and shouted loudly at Zhou Daqiang.
That anxious voice was even more anxious and frightened than Zhou Daqiang's!
It was as if the city lord's daughter was really a monster, extremely terrifying.
Zhou Daqiang was completely dumbfounded. How could he react?
Seeing this, Zhou Qiu grabbed the hydrangea in his hand, threw it away, pulled Zhou Daqiang and turned and ran!
Unexpectedly, as soon as they turned around, they suddenly bumped into a group of soldiers in armor!
Without saying a word, several soldiers pulled out the long swords from their waists and put them against Zhou Qiu's throat!
Then the rest of the people drove Zhou Daqiang away without saying a word.
Not to mention Chaoge was stunned, even Jun Yumo was shocked!
"What's going on here?"
Chaoge looked at Jun Yumo, who reacted belatedly and quickly glanced at Mo Qi and the others.
Mo Qi and his men used their light skills to block in front of the officers and soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion and started a direct confrontation.
"Little dove, save me!
I, I don’t want to marry a wife!”
Zhou Daqiang came to his senses and looked back at Chaoge.
He was under control, and when he thought of his previous fiancée Liang Chunxiu, he felt sick all over.
At this time, he didn't care that Jun Yumo was still there, he asked Chaoge for help.
“Hey, you’re also a poor boy.
However, it is your blessing to marry the daughter of the City Lord's Mansion.
According to reliable sources, the city lord has said that whoever marries his eldest daughter will have to give her a house as a dowry, as well as a thousand taels of gold.
Are you content with that?"
Someone in the crowd saw Zhou Daqiang resisting and trying to ask for help, and couldn't help but laugh and tease him.
Zhou Daqiang only remembered that someone had just shouted that the daughter of the City Lord was an extremely ugly person!
In addition, Zhou Daqiang is resistant to women, so he doesn't want to become a son-in-law and doesn't want to climb up the social ladder!
He felt that he could earn dozens of taels of silver a year, and he was already very satisfied. He didn't want thousands of taels of gold!
"What do you want to do? This is the son-in-law chosen by our city lord. Do you want to snatch him away?
If he wants to go back on his word, he should have stayed away when our city lord threw the bouquet!
He didn't dodge, and just happened to catch the embroidered ball thrown by the city lord, so this marriage has to happen whether it succeeds or not!"
Seeing that someone actually dared to jump out and block their way, the officers and soldiers immediately became angry.
