Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jiamu had received the money from Bai Wutong the day before and brought Yangqiu and Hei Yan to the caravan store early that morning.
Firstly, she wanted to buy some northeastern floral cloth. Secondly, she wanted to buy some gifts for Yangqiu and Hei Yan.
As soon as they arrived, they saw that the store was surrounded by people.
It took a lot of effort for JiaMu to squeeze to the front.
She didn’t see the Northeastern Flower pattern. Instead, she was distracted by a few shop assistants in denim.
Jiamu felt that they looked really good in them. When she asked for the price, it was actually cheaper than ordinary ready-made clothes.
Her eyes lit up and she immediately shouted with the others, wanting to customize denim clothes for Yang Qiu and Hei Yan.
When it was finally her turn, she touched the denim uniform on the shop assistant, but her eyes froze.
Why did she feel that these materials were so familiar?
She carefully touched the denim again, feeling more familiar.
She was stunned for a long moment before she realized that the denim fabric was made of canvas!
She stood rooted to the ground in disbelief. Recalling what Bai Wutong had said to her the day before, she immediately smiled in ecstasy.
So canvas was going to be used to make clothes like this!
It turned out that clothes made of canvas would look so good!
Everyone would like it so much!
Jiamu asked the shop assistant to continue taking Yangqiu and Heiyan’s measurements, but she found the manager of the store and asked loudly, ‘Where’s Bai Wutong? I want to look for her!”
The denim outfit had so many advantages, Bai Wutong would definitely buy canvas in bulk in the future.
If she could buy from her, she would not have to buy and sell the northeastern floral patterned cloth. She would definitely earn more money.
As soon as she called out the name, Yu Suisheng, who was waiting for Jia Mu to come, walked over.
“Miss Jia Mu?”
Jiamu was stunned. Seeing how respectful the steward was to him, she asked in suspicion, “Are you the boss?’
Yu Suisheng smiled and nodded. “Yes.”
Jiamu quickly said, ‘Then do you know Bai Wutong? I want to ask her to buy my cloth.”
She suddenly hit her head and said in realization, “You should be buying the canvas too, right?”
Yu Suisheng smiled and said, “Madam Bai has already set off for the Southern Frontier with the team. She specially mentioned Miss Jiamu to me. Since Miss
Jiamu wasn’t coming, I was about to look for you.”
Jiamu nodded in confusion. “So she left.” Then she muttered softly, “She left so quickly!” She glanced at Yu Suisheng again, worried that he was not as straightforward and generous as Yu Suisheng.
Yu Suisheng invited Jiamu to take a seat in the room. He even thoughtfully invited Yangqiu and Hei Yan over.
Jiamu took a sip of tea and sighed. ‘The tea in the Central Plains is delicious! No wonder it’s so expensive!’
Yu Suisheng smiled as if he was used to it. He gave the servants a look, and someone immediately brought a few packets of tea cakes to Jiamu. “It’s a small token of appreciation. Miss Jiamu, please accept it.”
Jiamu could not help but feel that the Central Plains people were generous. She went straight to the point and asked, “Are you giving me a gift to buy my cloth?” She gestured and said bluntly, “I definitely won’t sell it for less than this!”
She offered the same price when she had sold the cloth to Bai Wutong.
Yu Suisheng smiled and said, ‘Miss Jiamu, if we buy the canvas ourselves, the price will probably be even cheaper. Your price is really a little too high.”
Jiamu’s expression darkened. She knew that it was rare to meet someone as generous as Bai Wutong.
She quickly thought of a price in her heart. If Yu Suisheng did not agree, she would collect canvas and sell it as ready-made clothes. It seemed to be more profitable, but it was a little troublesome.
Yu Suisheng continued, ‘The canvas is heavy. After this season, it won’t be easy to sell. However, we have a way to modify the canvas and make it light and breathable. It will be popular even in summer.”
Jiamu’s eyes lit up and she couldn’t help but blurt out, “How can you improve Yu Suisheng did not keep her in suspense. After all, she could not get cotton. He smiled and said, ‘We can transport cotton from the distant south. As long as we fuse it into the linen of the cotton thread, we will definitely be able to weave light and airy canvas.”
Jiamu was stunned. “How expensive would it be to transport cotton over?”
Yu Suisheng smiled and said, “As long as the items are good, we don’t have to worry about not being able to sell them.’
Jiamu immediately said excitedly, “How much money can you earn? How many bolts of cloth do you want? If you provide the cotton for weaving, how much will the price be?’
Yu Suisheng smiled and said, “There’s no hurry. We still have to carry out detailed statistics to come up with a suitable price. Besides, we have to give it a try. How much cotton do we have to put into a bolt of cloth to make it thin and breathable?’
“We have to take these slowly. We might as well talk about the current price of canvas now. ”
“We want to work with Miss Jiamu for a long time, but the price that you raised is really a little high.”
There were rules among the Syrians when it came to buying and selling items. It was indeed cheaper to buy canvas directly, but the time spent on the road was equally precious. It was better to cooperate with the Syrians and just wait patiently for the cloth to arrive.
Yu Suisheng had already thrown out enough hooks. It was impossible for Jiamu not to be tempted.
She immediately said, “Then this number! It really can’t be any lower.”
Yu Suisheng suddenly stood up and frowned. “I’m sorry, Miss Jiamu. It seems that I can only find someone else to cooperate with.”
How could she let an opportunity fly away? Jia Mu gritted her teeth and lowered the profit she could earn to the lowest. “Then this amount!’
Yu Suisheng immediately stopped in his tracks and smiled gently. ‘Then how much canvas can Miss Jiamu provide now?’
Jiamu wasn’t sure, but it was definitely a lot. “As many as you want!”
If Yu Suisheng wanted more, she could get someone to speed up the production.
The more she sold, the more she would earn!
Yu Suisheng smiled and replied, “What a coincidence. We accept as much as you have! ”
Jiamu’s eyes widened as if a huge pie had hit her.
She was stunned for a long time. It was only when Yang Qiu and Hei Yan tugged at her arm that she came back to her senses and said excitedly, “I’ll go collect the cloth for you now!”
Jiamu rode with Hei Yan and Yang Qiu and rushed to a tribe where the Syrians were gathered. Her canvas was mainly collected from here.
Jiamu had not been here for a long time. The leader of the tribe, Ah Yu, walked over and said happily, “You came at the right time. Our cloths are all piled up.
We’re moving to the next place. Take as much as you can!”
Jiamu’s eyes lit up as she followed Ah Yu into the tent. Seeing the piles of canvas was like seeing piles of gold and lambs.
She said excitedly, “l want them all. I’ll take as many as you have for the same price!”
Ah Yu was stunned. ‘Why do you want so much?’
Jiamu smiled and said, “I’ve done business with the Han people. They want this much! And they’ll always want it in the future!”
Ah Yu’s eyes widened. “Always?’
Jiamu nodded. ‘Yes, they will always want it! I won’t have to worry about not being able to sell the canvas in the future!”
Ah Yu was stunned. He looked at the huge flock of lambs and was overjoyed that he suddenly had another stable source of income..
