Chapter 31 Buying clothes

On November 07th, Li Yao bought an exquisite green porcelain cosmetics box and put in some menthol balm. Only then did she walk into a cosmetics shop called Zou's and directly look for the owner.

Zou Youcai is the shopkeeper and the boss.

After personally testing the effect of the green grass ointment, he immediately wanted to buy all the finished products.

"For one box like this, I can give you 300 coins."

He thought the price was generous enough, but Li Yao shook her head. This time she was going to fleece some rich people first, so how could she set the price so affordable?

"Two taels of silver per box."

The shopkeeper was so shocked that he staggered.

If he had to sell it to him for two taels, how much would he have to sell it for?

"Even if the product is good, selling it at too high a price would be futile."

"That's because you're using the wrong method," Li Yao said. "If you do as I say, you will not only be able to sell it, but I guarantee you will have more demand than supply."

After listening to Li Yao's method, Zou the shopkeeper's eyes kept flashing.

"Okay, I'll try it your way."

...

After leaving the shop, she retrieved 350 eggs, five catties of pork belly, and five catties of pork ribs from her space.

The eggs were pickled and liked by everyone. She gave 20 pickled eggs to the Old Wang family and 5 pickled eggs each to the village head and Tutor Lu's family.

Last time she pickled 100 eggs, almost 40 eggs were eaten. She decided to add the picked eggs in stall so she took out 350 eggs from space. Three hundred eggs will be picked and remaining can be eaten in home.

Having lived in this world for some time, she was tired of the rough clothes and straw mattresses. It was time to improve things a little.

Bringing the children to a fabric shop, they each bought 3 sets of ready-made clothes first. 600 coins per set on average, 15 sets cost 9 taels of silver.

Shoes of course could not be omitted.

Forget about brocade shoes, they were expensive and not practical. Cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles were good, 120 coins a pair, 3 pairs each.

Seeing her spending freely, the fabric shop owner seized the opportunity to make a sale: "Madam, it will be cold soon, we have new cotton, would you like to take a look?"

There was no cotton yet in this era. For quilted jackets and comforters, good ones would usually have bulrush flowers or willow catkins stuffed inside, poorer ones would stuff straw.

Warming effect aside, wearing them felt really awkward.

Kapok was a relatively high-end filler, but also expensive, 400 coins per jin, only the rich could afford it.

"Mother, there's no hurry for the kapok," Da Zhuang saw her spending money like flowing water and felt a little distressed, "Winter is still early."

"It's not early."

Kapok must be bought.

Li Yao had endured the straw bedding for a long time. Sleeping under it every night made her feel itchy all over, this time she would change it no matter what.

Making 4 quilts and mattresses each, 8 jin per set, totaling 64 jin.

Plus 2 sets of cotton jackets and pants for each person, at least 10 more jin would be needed.
