I traveled through time and space and encountered a famine, and I became a hermit.

Chapter 187 Miao and Embroidery Shop reach cooperation

The waiter's eyes rolled, and then he thought of something, and said to Gu Dajiang with a pleasing smile: "Sir, if you have any food with you, can you sell some to me? I have an old mother at home, and I really can't bear to see her worry about lack of food every day."

Gu Dajiang thought of his own Fu'er's inexhaustible food supply, so it would be fine to sell some, but he didn't know if there was any food on the car. He then looked at his niece.

Gu Fuzi also heard what the child said. When he saw his second uncle looking at him, he nodded his head slightly.

After getting his niece's approval, Gu Dajiang smiled and said, "Of course, you can, but the goods have not been sorted out yet. After we sort them out, let's notify the second brother to come and buy them."

The waiter was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed to express his gratitude, "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, sir. But please leave some for me, I'll go back to my mother to get the money now."

After saying that, he was about to leave, but Gu Dajiang stopped him and said, "Don't worry, little brother. We probably won't start buying until the day after tomorrow. It won't be too late for you to come by then. I will definitely leave enough food for you."

"Okay, thank you, sir. Hey! I was too impatient. I'll go and help you get the dishes ready. Please wait a moment."

"Okay, thank you, little brother." Gu Dajiang replied with a smile.

After dinner, everyone checked into a room and let Zhixing and Zhiling accompany Gu Fu and Song Renjing to rest.

Miao and Gu Dajiang went to the backyard to check the horses and goods, and to be fully aware of the goods that Gu Fu had taken out.

After checking the goods, the couple went to rest.

After dinner the next day, Song Renjing said to Gu Dajiang and the other two, "Second uncle, I have to go to an uncle's house. You don't have to wait for me for lunch."

Gu Dajiang knew that Song Renjing had something to do outside the valley, and he knew that he had deep inner strength, so he did not stop him. He only reminded him, "Be careful when you walk outside alone, and come back early at night."

"Okay, thank you, second uncle, I know." After Song Renjing said this, he bowed and took his leave. He left the inn, used his Qinggong skills, and went straight to Prince Li's mansion.

After Song Renjing left, Gu Dajiang said to his niece, "Fuer, find the name tag the general gave you and give it to Second Uncle. Second Uncle is going to see General Xu today."

"Okay, second uncle, here you go." After saying that, Gu Fu took out the iron plate and handed it to second uncle.

Gu Dajiang took the iron plate and touched his niece's head. "Fu, you heard what the second brother said yesterday. Do you think we should sell some more food to King Li this time?"

Gu Fu thought for a moment and said, "Second uncle, let's wait until A Jing comes back tonight and discuss it before making a decision. Maybe he can bring back some other news."

"Fuer is right. Let's wait for Jing to come back and discuss it."

After Gu Dajiang finished speaking, he asked his wife, "Madam, what are you going to do today?"

When she heard Gu Dajiang asking about it and still addressing her as Madam in a polite manner, Miao glared at him in disapproval and then said, "I plan to take Fu'er, Zhiying and Zhibao to stroll around the streets and sell the embroidery and handicrafts made by the villagers in the valley."

"Okay, be careful and pay attention to safety." Gu Dajiang reminded.

"You too, Ji-sung must stay by your side and don't leave. Contact us if anything happens."

"Okay." After saying this, they went their separate ways.

The women in the valley were mostly wives of wealthy families, so it was no problem for them to do embroidery work. In the end, they paid 10 cents for a handkerchief and 8 cents for a pair of shoe soles. The owner of the embroidery shop bought all the work.

After Gu Fuzi was able to embroider complete patterns, she sold the handkerchiefs she had saved.

When the female shopkeeper saw the technique, she knew it was the work of a novice, but she was still impressed.

The handkerchiefs have bright colors and novel patterns, especially the one with a tiger sniffing peony, which is embroidered very vividly.

The shopkeeper couldn't help but admire, "Although the embroiderer's skills are immature, the advantage is that the color matching and charm are very good. How about twelve cents for this?"

The niece's embroidered handkerchief received the highest price, so Miao was naturally happy: "Okay, thank you very much, shopkeeper."

"You're welcome, ma'am. If you have goods like this in the future, please bring them to me. The price is absolutely fair." The shopkeeper said with a happy smile.

"No problem." Miao also responded happily. "I wonder if the shopkeeper accepts large and medium-sized embroidery and ready-made clothes."

"Madam, if you have any goods, just take them out. I can accept them." The shopkeeper had already seen the boxes in the hands of the two maids.

Upon hearing this, Miao and her niece looked at each other, and Gu Fu understood immediately.

He released his mental power and placed the clothes made by his second aunt-in-law into the box through the air.

Miao received the hint from her niece and said, "Zhiying, open the box and take out the clothes for the shopkeeper to examine."

"Yes, ma'am." Zhiying took out the ready-made clothes in the box and quickly closed the box.

The shopkeeper tried to look inside the box to see what else was in it, but he saw nothing.

Zhiying and the other female employees in the store put the ready-made clothes on hangers.

The moment the shopkeeper saw the clothes, he could no longer think of anything else.

He marveled at the clothes and looked at them from front to back and left to right for a long time.

Then he remembered to ask, "Madam, I wonder who made this dress? The cut! The style! I can imagine how it will look like when I wear it just by looking at it. It's so novel. Can we discuss whether we can make these styles?"

Without waiting for Miao to speak, the shopkeeper immediately said, "Of course, don't worry, I won't ask for it for nothing. As long as you agree to let us make it according to the design, it doesn't matter whether you want to sell it outright or take a share of the profits."

When Gu Fu and Miao heard this, they both felt that this shopkeeper was trustworthy. She had already seen the style of the clothes, and even if she didn't say it was made privately, there was nothing they could do about it. After all, there was no such thing as copyright in ancient times.

But she asked for advice instead, which shows that doing business is about integrity.

He was also very bold and directly proposed to give a share of the profits.

"Aunt shopkeeper, these are all made by my second aunt. You will definitely not lose money by cooperating with my second aunt. My second aunt knows many styles." Gu Fu said.

When the shopkeeper heard Gu Fu say this, he immediately grabbed Miao's hand excitedly and said, "Sister, I didn't expect you to have such a good skill. How about we work together? I can give you a 50-50 split. What do you think?"

"Since the shopkeeper is sincere in cooperating, let's give it a try. But 50-50 is a bit too much. I only provided the design, and you provided the fabric and labor. How can I let you lose money? How about this, I only take 20%."

"That won't do. 20% is too little. If you don't want to accept a 50-50 split, how about I take 40%?"

"Forty percent is a bit too much, and I don't come here often to offer new models, so why not I just take thirty percent."

After much concessions, Miao finally got 30%. After they agreed on the terms, they signed the contract immediately.

The shopkeeper bought these sets of ready-made clothes at a price of three taels per set.
