The biography of Gu Qi, a poor girl

"I'm just a little old man, how can I have any reputation worth mentioning. It's just the eldest young master to lift up and manage some trivial matters on the shop floor." Li Shun waved his hands with a smile, greeted everyone on the second floor, and asked the man to bring tea. Afterwards, he personally picked up a few pieces of cloth and handed them to Gu Qi.

"Let's take a look at these two horses first. This beautifully colored one is weaved with a jacquard wood machine, and it is a brocade from Jinling.

Yun Jinyuan was a tribute in the previous dynasty, and only the royal family could use it.In this dynasty, there are not so many restrictions.

However, the craftsmanship of Yunjin is complicated. You can see that the patterns on this horse are made of silk thread and peacock feather thread.

It is the most dignified choice for the marriage of Dakang, officials, eunuchs, wealthy businessmen, and rich businessmen, Jixi.It is also the signature of Zhou's Clothing Line.

As for the other one that is more elegant and delicate, it is Jingchu's Sujin.

Although Su Jin is not as luxurious as Yun Jin, but because of its fashionable patterns and comfortable texture, it is the favorite purchase of our ladies and wives in He Song Town on weekdays, and it is also the best selling in the shops in recent months. "Li Shun said eloquently.

Even in modern times, Gu Qi, who has seen many major brands of haute couture, saw these two pieces of cloth unfolded, and he couldn't help but admire the brocade craftsmanship of the ancients in the non-industrial era, which was amazing.

Especially the gorgeous and rich brocade, no matter who it is, you can understand why it was used as a tribute in the previous dynasties just by looking at it.

"Based on the production of Yunjin and Sujin, I think even the Zhou family's cloth line will not be able to get a lot of money every month, so you don't have to worry about selling it." Gu Qi retracted his gaze and turned to Li Shun to ask.

"Shopkeeper Gu is a know-it-all, just take a look and you'll understand." Li Shun said with a smile: "Indeed, Yun Jin and Su Jin are the ones that we don't worry about selling the most.

To put it mildly, these two kinds of fabrics are in short supply every month, especially Yunjin. "

"Then what does Storekeeper Li mean?" Although Yun Jin is good, it is obviously not suitable for visiting Gu's business market.

Li Shun explained: "Yun Jin and Su Jin are both the signatures of Zhou's cloth line, and they are also the most critical factor in Zhou's cloth line's ability to overwhelm other veteran cloth lines to quickly open up in Yunzhou.

So the eldest young master means that wherever there is a sign of Zhou's cloth, let people see Yun Jin's demeanor. "

Gu Qi couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Is it even a small business in the countryside?"

"Of course." Li Shun nodded seriously.

"Yunjin and Sujin are good, but not everyone can use it. If you put it in my business, I'm afraid no one will ask you for a year and a half. Wouldn't it be a delay." Gu Qi told the truth.

No matter how good Hermès is, it would be foolish to put it in the Zhonghe hypermarket in the urban-rural fringe.Different audiences have different options.

"However, this is the rule set by the eldest young master himself." Li Shun looked embarrassed.

Gu Qi chuckled lightly: "Since the young master Zhou has left all the arrangements for the line to be handled by Shopkeeper Li, Shopkeeper Li has already made up his mind about this trivial matter.

Now, with such words, is it possible that Shopkeeper Li is asking a question to test this girl from the countryside? "

Li Shun's expression flashed, and he quickly returned to his friendly and talkative appearance: "Smallkeeper Gu is joking, I am really embarrassed, Old Li, the rules set by the eldest young master can't be changed just by saying."

"There's no need to be embarrassed by Mr. Li, it's fine for me. The two counters of Zhou's cloth line are evenly distributed, and the two extra pieces of Yunjin Sujin actually don't take up much space."

Gu Qi smiled, with a normal expression: "It doesn't matter if it's been put on for three or five years and can't be sold, but it's just to ask people to clean it up, so as not to waste the good things."

The cloths of Zhou's Clothing Co., Ltd. should be placed at the counter of the commercial market. The contract signed at that time was a mode of settlement and collection by piece. Even the salesman was sent by Zhou's Clothing Co., Ltd. in person, and it would not be able to sell at that time , do not bear the cost of their own.

Since Li Shun wants to let it go, he will not lose any money.

Of course, Gu Qi also knew that Li Shun had never really thought about sending the best Yun Jin and Su Jin to Gu's business market from the very beginning.Now, using a line of rules set by Zhou Li himself, and pretending to be difficult, is just testing himself to see if he is a qualified partner.

Although Li Shun looked at the kind-hearted faction and looked like he could not offend anyone, but from what he said and acted, it could be seen between the lines that this person was not a really good-natured man.

Li Shun has been able to sit firmly as the first shopkeeper of Zhou's Clothing Line these years. He is so shrewd and sophisticated, who would treat him as a vegetarian rabbit.I am afraid that soon I will become a fish that is slaughtered by others on the chopping board.

"Treasurer Gu is joking." Li Shun's face, which has remained unchanged for thousands of years, was slightly cracked.

Why doesn't this girl play cards according to the routine.

Gu Qipi didn't smile, and beat Tai Chi back: "Don't dare to joke with the shopkeeper Li. Gu's business market is just a small business, so everything is done according to the rules laid out by Zhou's."

"..." Li Shun felt his face stiffen.

"Why don't you look at other fabrics first?" Seeing the strange atmosphere between the two, Liu Qingshan deliberately turned the topic to other places.

"What Liu Guanshi said is that it's more important to look at other fabrics first." Li Shun answered the question wisely, and his round face returned to the original polite and thoughtful way:

"The shopkeeper Gu said that it's better to ask for some mid-range materials, and the best we buy in our cloth shop are these two kinds of floral satin and plain satin spun with fine linen silk.

Soft satin is softer than muslin.The pattern is also good-looking, and it can be used for inner and outer clothes. "

"What's the price?" Gu Qi asked.

"A piece of flower satin is worth one or two silver coins. A plain soft satin is worth one or two silver coins," Li Shun replied.

"What about the price of muslin and sackcloth?"

"A piece of unpainted muslin is eight hundred wen, and a piece of painted muslin is also one tael of silver.

The price of coarse cloth is between [-] and [-] wen. "

"Can there be Gebu?"

"It's worth it. The price of a piece of Gebu is four hundred cents."

A piece of cloth in the Dakang Dynasty is ten feet, which is about 33 meters in modern algorithms.Usually a piece of cloth can be used to make two or three clothes.

He Song Town is rich and prosperous, and most of the people in the town like to use plain satin or muslin to make close-fitting underwear.Make a jacket from coarse cloth that is durable and cheap when slightly knotted.

Of course, people with ordinary conditions also choose to use coarse cloth for their inner and outer clothes.

The people of the nearby villages are different. Although many girls and women also like to use fine cloth as their underclothes, both men and women like to use burlap cloth, which is not much cheaper than coarse cloth.

Just because the burlap cloth is thicker, durable enough and wear-resistant, it is convenient for daily agricultural use.

"Seeing that winter is coming, the demand for gebu in the village will increase." Gu Qi thought for a while and said, "It's better to order half a cabinet for gebu first. The color should be darker, and it should be resistant to dirt and durable."

"You can also get more plain satin and muslin. By the way, can Zhou's Clothing Store sell white folds (cotton) separately?"
