Chapter 163 Ross Merchant
The more Cui Qingyi broke out of the vicious circle of the Cui and Chen families and stepped into a broader world, the more she realized that Dajin was really different.
It is powerful and wise. Instead of simply avoiding external challenges, it seems to be more proactive in seeking breakthroughs and opportunities.
It is more like a fork in the road, leading the giant ship of China towards a different future.
But it would be too fake to say that she didn't know him when he was standing right in front of her. Cui Qingyi just wanted to deal with Fili quickly and leave. "Of course I remember. What can I do for you?
If you encounter any trouble, you can go to the guards wherever they are on duty."
Cui Qingyi pointed to the soldiers on patrol not far away, then turned around and prepared to leave.
Phil hurriedly waved his hands, turned around and blocked Cui Qing's way again. He also found that Cui Qingyi didn't seem to want to have much contact with him.
However, after coming to Dajin, he often encountered this situation: Oriental people did not seem to appreciate his beauty very much.
With business in mind, Fili stated his purpose without beating around the bush. "I'd like to do double-sided embroidery business with you. Can we find a place to discuss it in detail?"
Double-sided embroidery business?
Cui Qingyi was tempted but immediately shook her head and refused. She wanted to do this business, but how to do it?
Apart from her and Konjac, Qi Yuan and Li Miao are the only girls in the school who have just started learning the needlework of double-sided embroidery.
Cui Qingyi was a little puzzled when talking about this. Although the needlework of double-sided embroidery is indeed somewhat difficult, after all, no matter how it is varied, the basics remain the same. With the basic skills of embroidery, it should not be difficult to learn double-sided embroidery.
For example, she taught Konjac step by step, and through her own research and practice, she quickly mastered the technique of double-sided embroidery.
Why is it so difficult when it comes to teaching students?
If she were to do business with foreigners, the amount needed would definitely be huge. Relying on her and konjac, she was afraid that she would earn money but not be able to spend it.
When Phile heard Cui Qingyi's refusal, he was stunned.
Finally, Cui Qingyi brought Philly to the warehouse of Jinxiufang. Naturally, the female manager of Jinxiufang would not miss such a grand event in Dongping County. She also rented a shop to sell embroidered clothes, and the items she could put there were all top-quality ones.
But Philip looked around and didn't see anything he liked. If he wanted these ordinary embroidery pieces, he could find them anywhere in Dajin, so why did he have to hold on to Cui Qingyi?
The female shopkeeper's eyes lit up after hearing what Cui Qingyi said. Cui Qingyi didn't do this business, but she could do it, just not now.
If we were to ask who cares most about the teaching progress of the Cui family women's embroidery class, apart from the two teachers Cui Qingyi and Konjac, it would definitely be the female manager.
She knew that Konjac had already started teaching double-sided embroidery to several girls in the embroidery class who were making rapid progress, and Chen Yingchun was among them.
At the latest, these people will be able to start their mission by the beginning of next year.
The female owner of Jinxiufang was trying her best to get these people into her embroidery shop.
The foreign caravans will not come back until this time next year at the earliest. If we sign up for cooperation now, there will be plenty of time for delivery next year.
Knowing that Cui Qingyi was very busy with the opening of the teahouse, the female shopkeeper signaled Cui Qingyi to leave first. As for how she would discuss cooperation with Philie afterwards, Cui Qingyi was not very concerned.
Anyway, she will get a share of the money.
Phil was harassed by the female shopkeeper and watched Cui Qingyi leave quickly.
Cui Qingyi was not in a hurry to go home, because this time it wasn't just foreigners that came to Dongping County, there were also caravans from various regions of Dajin.
The territory of Dajin is vast, and transportation is inconvenient. Unless many things are brought by caravans, it is almost impossible for people in the south to buy northern specialties.
After entering a warehouse specializing in selling nuts, Cui Qing felt like a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar. He wanted this and that and was too greedy.
The warehouse owner has a sharp eye and can tell who the big customers are with just one glance.
He didn't pay attention to the people who came in in pairs, and just stared at Cui Qingyi.
"What do you want to buy? We have fruits from Changbai Mountain in the north.
Look at these pine nuts, they are plump, round and big. Don’t underestimate them, eating more of them can beautify your skin.
With pine nuts of this quality, it is no problem to use them as tribute.
Please try..."
Finally, Cui Qingyi came out of the dried fruit shop empty-handed, but the shopkeeper smiled warmly and sent her out.
It turned out that Cui Qingyi bought too much, so the shopkeeper arranged for someone to deliver the goods to her door.
After leaving the dried fruit shop, Cui Qingyi turned around and went to the fur store.
When it comes to furs, there are many authentic varieties in the north.
There was no such thing as animal protection in this era, and humans were not powerful enough to shoot a wild beast casually. In the wild, humans could only rely on numbers to fight against wild beasts.
Furthermore, further north, during the cold winter, humans would even be used as food reserves by starving wild beasts.
This fur is obviously a hot commodity in the market. In addition to foreigners coming and going, many caravans from the Great Jin Dynasty are also busy bargaining with the buyers.
Since no one greeted her, Cui Qingyi went shopping by herself.
This fur shop not only sells leather that has been simply tanned, but also has finished products. Cui Qingyi fell in love with a pure white fur cloak at first sight and asked if it was made of wolf skin.
Thinking about the two big dogs of unknown pedigree, I decided to forget about the wolf-skin one.
Seeing her shake her head, the salesperson thought she thought the price was too high, and pointed to a piece next to it, "That one is made of dog leather. It feels softer than wolf leather and is quite good."
Cui Qingyi...
Finally, Cui Qingyi came out of the fur shop empty-handed again, but this time there was no shopkeeper following her to see her off.
After buying some miscellaneous things, Cui Qingyi felt her feet were a little swollen and wanted to go home directly.
But when I looked up, I found a flagpole in front of a row of warehouses in front of me, with a big word "North" on it.
It turned out to be the Beijia Trading Company.
Bei Shangyuan of the Bei family is also a well-known figure in Qinghe County, because of the cooperation between his family and Qixing Bookstore, and because people have heard that Bei Shangyuan has a kind of golden hand.
Cui Qingyi was somewhat curious about this person, so she stopped on her way home and went into the Bei family's business.
Cui Qingyi didn't expect that she didn't find anything new when she was trying to exchange it with foreigners, but instead saw a gold nugget in the Bei family's trading company.
Seeing Cui Qingyi staring at the clod of earth in the corner, a neatly dressed girl hurried over to greet her.
"Miss, I'm so sorry, our caravan just got it from the Russian merchants, and we haven't had time to sort it out yet.
If you want to buy something, you can go to the counter over here and I'll show you around."
This was the first business Cui Qingyi had encountered that had female employees, but she didn't pay attention to it at the moment.
All she could think of were the words "Russian merchants". Yes, how could she forget? Historically, there were two theories about how potatoes were introduced to China.
One of the routes is from Central Asia through Russia to northwest China.
The Rus this person mentioned is the Russia of later generations.
