Chapter 21 Cooperating with Li Xue

"This hairpin is so beautiful. It's just too expensive. How about it be cheaper, maybe thirty cents?" A girl of about fourteen or fifteen wearing pink muslin clothes stared at the hairpin with eyes shining.

Not only this young girl, but also many women gathered around. They were originally chattering, but they became quiet because they wanted to hear if this prodigy could negotiate a price.

It turns out that people here call this twining flower a hairpin flower!

Shen Yunyao's expression did not change, she ignored what she said wrongly, picked up a flower and said loudly: "Of course not, you see this hairpin looks like a real flower, it takes a lot of work, it is more beautiful than a copper hairpin It’s also cheap. You are the first to buy it in the town or even the country. When you wear it, you can proudly tell others this. Is it worth a hundred cents?”

The girl's face immediately turned ugly. Although her family had a small amount of assets, they only had fifty cash on hand every time they went out.

She snorted, "What's it worth! Look, your flower is just a hairpin made of copper wire, and the petals are not natural. Something with copper wire and cloth that costs a few cents sells for a hundred cents. It's really dark! Fifty cents I’ll buy it!”

"It's worth it, so worth it! I want to buy it!"

A girl wearing sky blue silk satin was crowded in.

"These are so beautiful, I want them all."

The maid behind the girl stepped forward and said, "How many are there in total? Count the money. We ladies all need them."

Shen Yunyao was a little overwhelmed. She didn't expect that there would be big customers just after opening.

It's just that the sale ended before it even started. It's a pity that I can't experience the scene of girls throwing money for flowers.

"I want to buy something, how can you get in here?" The girl in front refused, her face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

She originally belittled the hairpin just to spend less money, but she just hesitated for a moment, and now she didn't even have the chance to spend less money.

This was different from what she expected!

Someone behind her pulled her sleeve and reminded her in a low voice: "This is the daughter of the Li family, a wealthy family in the town. Her relatives are officials in the capital, and the county magistrate has given her family some face. Don't hit the wall."

When she heard that he was someone she couldn't afford to offend, and she could afford to hide, she stopped saying a word, turned around and left.

Miss Li picked up a hairpin and gave it to the maid to insert into her hair. The maid then handed over the small bronze mirror she carried with her.

"Wow, sister, you look even more beautiful with this flower!" Shen Yunzhen clapped her hands happily.

This lady from the Li family has a good color, and wearing this flower really makes her look more delicate than flowers.

When she heard the children's praises, she felt so happy. Then she looked at the bronze mirror, and it turned out to be really beautiful.

She immediately urged the maid: "Hurry, pay, everything is covered."

"There are fifty flowers in total. Each flower costs a hundred cents, so there are five taels in total. The girl has good taste. These are the first batch of hairpin flowers, with five types of flowers. They are not found anywhere else."

The maid paid five taels of silver and wrapped the hairpin in cloth.

"My name is Li Xue. I want to discuss a business deal with you. How about we go to Fu'an Restaurant together?" Li Xue threw the bronze mirror to the maid and asked Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu looked at Shen Yunyao, and Shen Yunyao nodded.

Li Xue saw the little moves between them, but she didn't expect that the older girl had the right to speak.

Ms. Liu took her children and followed Li Xue and others to Fu'an Restaurant.

Shen Yunyao vaguely heard the people nearby talking.

"I heard that the eldest daughter of the Li family likes to come to this street, especially the craftsmen who set up street stalls. It turns out it's true!"

"It would be great if I could have a skill. The Li family would definitely pay a high price for my skills."

"Stop daydreaming. The Li family doesn't sign contracts casually. I heard that some people pretended to be craftsmen and deceived the Li family, and ended up in jail."

Getting further and further away from the crowd, Shen Yunyao heard nothing more. She probably guessed what Miss Li was going to do, and thought about how to deal with it for a while.

In the side room, Li Xue directly stated his intentions, "I'm attracted to your craftsmanship. My family has a jewelry shop. Let's cooperate. Your hairpins will only be supplied to my shop. Each one costs a hundred cents. How about that?"

Ms. Liu was delighted. This meant she didn't have to worry about not being able to sell it because the price was still so high.

She immediately said: "The price is okay. We..."

Shen Yunyao cut off the conversation, "Miss Li is very calculating. You know that our hairpins are unique. There is no shortage of shops to cooperate with. My condition is: you provide hairpin materials, which can be ordinary materials or more expensive ones. Materials. In addition, I will take 30% of the hairpins you sell made by my family. I promise to update three types of hairpins every month."

She went to Li's jewelry store to buy flower wrapping materials. The clerk talked to the shopkeeper in a friendly manner and did not look down on her because she was poorly dressed.

If they really find a collaborator, the Li family may be able to trust it.

Li Xue had some admiration for the thin girl in front of her who was neither humble nor arrogant, "You do have foresight. However, you are a bit too open-minded. You are 20%, and you produce five new patterns every month. I can tell my family about signing Make a contract."

"So, you can't make the decision?" Shen Yunyao raised an eyebrow and asked, "Then you are just talking to us? Thirty percent is not much. I produce new products every month that are worth the 30%. Even if others imitate, it will not affect When I come to your store, there are too many five new products. Ms. Li must understand the principle of finding rare items."

Li Xue was choked, her face changed, she thought for a long time, and then said: "The jewelry shop is my mother's dowry for me to practice. I can make the decision myself. I agree to sign the contract as you said. However, every day in these three days Send at least 300 pieces over, and at least 100 pieces every day for three days. Adjust at any time based on sales volume. A new product will be released every ten days. Except for me, other shops, including you, cannot sell it."

"Deal! I promise not to supply it to others, but I have no control over imitations."

"I know that. Xiangxiang is going to write the contract with pen and ink."

The little maid Xiangxiang borrowed paper, ink, pen and inkstone from the restaurant and wrote the contract. Li Xue and Liu signed it. They had a meal together and went to the Yamen to file the contract.

After returning home, Ms. Liu calmed down and said, "Why do I feel that my fortune has been increasing recently and it has become easier to make money. Ayao, you are now a money-giving boy. You will have another income in the future."

Shen Yunhao also echoed: "Sister is so awesome. I didn't expect that there are so many ways to do business."

"Today the Li family brought a lot of common and precious materials. Let's try to make one made of precious materials first." Shen Yunzhen said excitedly. She liked those little pearls so much.

Shen Yunyao fulfilled her wish, took some materials and started making it, and soon made a twining flower.

Pearls are used as stamens, silver hairpins are used as supports, and the lifelike petals make the whole hairpin look very precious.

Shen Yunhao praised, "Good things are made differently. This hairpin can be sold for at least ten taels."

Shen Yunzhen's eyes were glued to the hairpin, and she wished she could hold it all the time.

Shen Yunhan took a quick look and simply said, "It's pretty." Then he went to help wrap the petals.

Little did their family know that their noodle stall was in big trouble today.
