"Of course you can, please come with us." Gu Jinli was also anxious to make money by selling quilts, so he got up and left.
Qin Sanlang walked side by side with her. When he reached the threshold or saw stones or water on the road, he would warn her in advance.
Manager Ruan laughed... Sure enough, the young master lied again. Mrs. Qin is not a tigress suppressing her husband. She just wants to win his love.
Manager Ruan and the others followed Gu Jinli and his wife for more than a quarter of an hour when they saw straw mats spread out in front of them. On the straw mats were the downs of chickens, ducks and geese, piled up to dry in a large open space. From a distance, they could see , like plush growing on the ground, there are a bunch of the purest white ones, like clouds in the sky, you can tell just by looking at them... they will definitely sell for a good price!
Manager Ruan was very happy. When he walked to the fluff, he squatted down, grabbed a handful of fluff, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it carefully: "There is no odor or fragrance, it is excellent."
It is good that the down quilt has a fragrance, but Manager Ruan knows that some noble families are wary of fragrance and are afraid that people will poison the fragrance, so it is best for the down quilt to have no smell.
If the nobles want fragrance, they can buy sachets and embroider them into the corners of the quilt, and if anything goes wrong, they wont be blamed.
The accompanying steward also knelt down, grabbed a handful of fluff, smelled it, and smiled with satisfaction.
Gu Jinli waited until they had seen it almost, then pointed to the small courtyard not far away and said: "Over there is the washing yard for washing down. I will take you to see it."
Chief Ruan and the others couldn't get what they asked for, so they hurriedly followed.
Not long after, we came to a small courtyard.
There is a well in the courtyard. Next to the well, many strong women are carrying water to wash the down. After washing it once, they put it into a large water tank for soaking.
General Manager Ruan walked over to look at the water tanks and found that the water was light brown with a medicinal smell. He pointed at the water tank and asked: "Mrs. Qin, is this the medicinal soup that can get rid of the odor?"
Before Gu Jinli could say anything, Kuang ran out of the house and asked in a loud voice: "But you are the general manager of the Imperial Merchant?"
The God of Wealth we have been waiting for!
General Manager Ruan was stunned and looked at Gu Jinli.
This is Niu Baihus wife, Gu Jinli said.
After hearing this, Chief Ruan quickly raised his hand to Mrs. Kuang and said, "It turns out to be Mrs. Niu. The old slave is the chief steward of the Dou family of Emperor Shang. His surname is Ruan."
"General Manager Ruan, you are finally here. We waited until our hair turned white." Kuang pointed at the fluff and said, "Even though they are ugly and smelly now, they have no smell at all after washing them out. Its light, soft, and very comfortable.
She was afraid that Manager Ruan wouldn't believe it, so she ran out with a dustpan and came back with the dried fluff: "Smell it and touch it, it's definitely good stuff!"
Manager Ruan had already seen it outside, but he still came forward, smelled it again, nodded and said with a smile: "It is indeed a good thing. The nobles in the capital will definitely like it."
Kuang's eyes were filled with money when he heard this, and he asked, "Does that mean this quilt can really be sold at a high price?"
Manager Ruan nodded: "It won't be less than one hundred taels per bed."
"What!" Kuang's blood rushed straight to her forehead. She was so excited that she almost fainted. After regaining her balance, she asked in disbelief: "Are you telling the truth? You're not lying, are you? You can really sell it for a hundred taels of silver." bed?"
Manager Ruan nodded: "The goose down quilt is extremely light, soft and warm, and it is a fresh item. Nobles love fresh and expensive things. After it is shipped to the capital, it will be covered with a satin quilt embroidered with various patterns. It will sell for one hundred taels." No problem."
The embroiderers of the Dou family are already working hard to embroider silk quilt covers. After putting on those exquisite quilt covers, they plan to sell two hundred taels of goose down quilts.
Its not that they have bad intentions, its that the wealthy families, nobles and high-ranking officials all use expensive things. If you sell them cheaply, they still dont care to buy them, because they feel that it loses their status.
Besides, the goose down quilt is indeed a novelty and good thing. The noble people are still happy to spend two hundred taels to buy a novelty.
They will lower the price after the novelty wears off. Manager Ruan has said that prices will be reduced in the future.
Kuang Shi said: "Jiang, Jiang, Jiang, we are not greedy, as long as we can make money!"
I didnt expect that these smelly chicken, duck and goose feathers could really fetch a huge price.
"It's Sanlang's daughter-in-law who is so talented that she came up with a prescription to remove the odor. Otherwise, even if the chickens, ducks and goose feathers were wrapped into flowers, they wouldn't be able to sell them." Kuang was very grateful to Gu Jinli for letting them join the team. If Gu Jinli hadn't been so generous, they wouldn't have been able to make money. I cant make this money anymore.
Gu Jinli also thought about opening his own quilt workshop, but he didnt have enough manpower. Inviting the Kuang family and the others to join the gang would not only give them a hand to do the work, but also make several hundred households and the soldiers under their command more united, so why not do it.
The most important thing is for soldiers and generals to be united. Only in this way can we work together to deal with anything in the future.
Qin Sanlang knew Gu Jinli's painstaking efforts and his throat was sore. He wanted to hold her hand, but because there were too many people present, he could only hold back.
"General Manager Ruan, come on, come on, let me show you the process in the washing yard." Kuang's eyebrows were full of excitement and she led General Manager Ruan and the others to look at the washing yard for more than two quarters of an hour, explaining a lot about how to clean, It's about drying the fluff.
After listening to this, Manager Ruan admired Gu Jinli even more... Only with the prescription that can get rid of the odor can these stinky things be turned into treasures.
After seeing the process in the washing house, Manager Ruan said: "Mrs. Qin, let's go see how the goose down quilt is sewn."
"Okay." Gu Jinli and Qin Sanlang turned around and took them out of the washing yard. After walking through the previous open space where the down was dried, they came to a nearby yard: "Inside is the place where quilts are sewn."
Speaking, he took the lead into the courtyard.
Manager Ruan and the others were some distance behind. When they came to the gate of the side courtyard, they saw a sign in front of the door with the four characters "Quilt Workshop" written on it.
Succinct and clear, Mrs. Qin is a real person.
Chief Ruan smiled and entered the side courtyard with his accompanying steward and two assistants. As soon as he entered, he was stunned by the scene inside.
There are many rooms in the side courtyard, seven in total. In each room, there are women wearing coarse clothes doing work, either cutting cotton, stuffing down, or sewing stitches on quilts stuffed with down. .
The fluff is looser than cotton and can run away. You need to use needles and threads to sew the fluff into a grid shape and fix the fluff in small grids so that people who kick the quilt will not kick the fluff in one place.
Manager Ruan looked at them from room to room, touching the half-finished quilt from time to time. They all nodded with satisfaction and looked happy.
The Kuang family also came with them. Seeing them like this, they knew that the deal was done and asked, "How about it? Is there no problem?"
"No problem." Manager Ruan looked at Gu Jinli: "Mrs. Qin, let's sign the contract."
The young master said that as long as this deal belongs to a hundred families in Qin, it must be completed. He was just taking a look as usual, mainly coming to sign a contract and deliver goods.
Oh, its done! Mrs. Kuang was overjoyed. They really embraced this windfall. God bless them.
She hurriedly shouted to Ji Zhenniang who was sitting in the room: "Hurry up and bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, we are going to sign a contract!"
Have made a fortune.
