The escape system takes me to dig for treasures

In the city, a pound is sold at the highest price of eighty cents.

Jiang Li took a breath when he heard it. A doll made from three rabbit skins at home might cost two or three kilograms of cotton.

The cost of the cotton alone is two hundred and forty pennies. Taking into account the cost of rabbit skin, labor cost, and the cost of other sewing and thread materials, the total cost is probably four hundred pennies.

In addition, selling such luxury goods and high-end products cannot be done by just setting up a stall.

Naturally, the target customers for such high-priced items are not ordinary people, so the items have to be sold to places where noble ladies and boudoir ladies will go.

After all, no rich girl would just stop her car on the side of the road to buy something.

Even if you stop, if you buy something on the roadside for a few hundred pennies or a few taels of silver, people will take it for granted that you are ripping off customers.

So if you want to sell it, you have to find a high-end place. Whether you rent it in a gold shop and silver building and borrow someone else's shop to sell it, or you find a shop yourself, the cost of renting the store should always be added.

That's still a big head. After all, if you want to make money, the price of this rabbit doll must be one or two silver.

No matter how bad it is, it will still cost 800 coins.

Since Jiang Songshu was previously busy with business, goods distribution, store management and other issues, now that Zhang Sheng is helping to manage it, Jiang Songshu is free and he only needs to focus on running business.

Now that I have free time, I can run my business and read books at the same time.

Seeing that Jiang Li often went out to buy cotton in the past two days, Jiang Songshu also noticed.

Jiang Li came back from a stroll outside. The carriage stopped in the stable. When he came back with a large bag of cotton, he saw Jiang Songshu sitting under the eaves, holding a book and reading. There was a small table next to him. Tea and fruits.

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows slightly, "You know how to enjoy it, brother!"

At this time, Jiang Songshu had stood up, put down the book in his hand, and reached out to pick up the sack carried by Jiang Li.

"Tsk, aren't we working so hard just to live a more comfortable life?" Jiang Songshu curled his lips.

"Okay, what you said makes sense!" Jiang Li bared his teeth and smiled.

"What? Are you going to buy cotton again?" Jiang Songshu weighed the sack, "I saw Aunt Zhang and the others were making a rag doll recently, and she said you asked her to make it."

Jiang Li has indeed not mentioned this matter to other people in the family. Everyone only knows that she is letting Yu San tan the rabbit skins because she does not want to waste the rabbit skins.

Since Jiang Songshu asked, Jiang Li said by the way that she was also looking for Jiang Songshu to work for.

"Just in time, I just wanted to ask you to help pick cotton!"

Jiang Songshu's heart skipped a beat, okay, I found a job for myself.

Jiang Li told Jiang Songshu her idea of ​​selling dolls, and also mentioned the costs and profits involved.

"But this is originally aimed at ladies from wealthy families. Even children should like it very much."

Jiang Songshu was very doubtful. With such a high cost, would it be easy to sell?

“How much money can you make from children’s things?”

Jiang Songshu said suspiciously.

But there wasn’t much objection.

Jiang Li smiled, "It depends on whose child it is."

Children in ordinary people's homes are naturally good as long as they have food to eat, but they don't have toys.

But young masters and ladies from rich and powerful families use good ones.

Especially those ladies and ladies from each family are holding each other's throats and comparing themselves to each other.

So Jiang Li is not worried about not being able to sell it.

But the price of this cotton was beyond her expectation, it was ridiculously expensive.

But it’s no wonder that it was so difficult for people in ancient times to make a quilt. A pound of cotton cost nearly a hundred pennies. To make a quilt, just buying cotton cost hundreds of pennies.

What's more, there are labor costs, fabrics, and needles and threads to buy.

So Jiang Li mentioned the difficulties he had encountered recently in buying cotton.

Jiang Songshu agreed immediately, "Okay, I'll collect it!"

Jiang Songshu carried the sack of cotton into the room, and then came out carrying a chair. When he came out, he saw Jiang Li flipping through his book.

In an instant, Jiang Songshu turned red from his neck to the roots of his ears. He became so angry that he snatched the book from Jiang Li's hand.

Jiang Li looked at Jiang Songshu with a joking smile, "Brother, do you still like to read this kind of storybook?"

Jiang Songshu was responsible for many things at home, so he got a lot of money every month. Jiang Li didn't care how he spent it, and he didn't expect to use it to buy a storybook.

The book Jiang Li just read was about the love and hatred between the general and the princess.

"What's wrong with the talk book? You can also learn something from the talk book!" Jiang Songshu said, scratching his neck.

He didn't even look at it, took it back to his room and hid it.

Jiang Li was both funny and speechless. He curled his lips and said, "Stingy guy!"

Jiang Songshu took the task from Jiang Li and couldn't sit still at home. He started going out to run business every day while searching for cotton.

Although it is not the season, you can still find it if you look for it, but the price will be more expensive than in autumn and winter.

It was said by a businessman Jiang Songshu met in a restaurant, and he happened to be in the fabric business.

As soon as the cotton season comes, harvesting begins and is used to weave and make cloth. Therefore, the cotton on the market is collected early, and the remaining amount is relatively small.

So it is true that Jiang Li and others have difficulty buying cotton.

The businessman suggested that Jiang Songshu go to the countryside more often.

Jiang Songshu visited five or six villages in two days and actually received dozens of kilograms and spent several taels of silver.

Fortunately, Jiang Li came up with this idea when his family already had some capital. If he had done this from the beginning, he might not have dared to do it.

When Jiang Songshu came back from collecting cotton, Jiang Li and Zhang Chan's mother and daughter were in the main room. The three of them moved the table to one side and sat on a small stool each.

Zhang Channiang and her daughter Zhang E held the cut cloth in their hands. Jiang Li didn't know how to do it, but at least she knew what she wanted, so she guided them from the side.

After hearing the commotion, Jiang Songshu came in with cotton on his shoulders.

Looking at the doll that was beginning to take shape in Zhang Channiang's hands, she asked, "Has it been made?"

Jiang Li replied: "It will be soon."

It's better than what the mother and daughter made by themselves based on the drawings a few days ago.

Jiang Songshu threw the sack on the ground. Seeing the cut fruits on the table, he quickly picked them up and ate them.

Seeing Jiang Songshu's thirsty appearance, Jiang Li said, "Brother, go ahead and buy a kettle. The weather will get hotter next time. If you often run outside, you won't be able to do it without bringing water."

Although Jiang Li warned Jiang Songshu, he turned around and told Zhang Channiang.

Now many things in the house are taken care of by Zhang Channiang. As a couple, one is responsible for taking care of the Jiang family's business, and the other is responsible for taking care of the Jiang family's housework.
