Early in the morning Lanlan and her second husband left for the county town. They boarded a cattle train for a fee of 10 wen individually. Horse carriages will be more expensive but faster to arrive.
It's good to know about money in this era. 100 wen \=1 bronze.100 bronze \=1perak.100silver \=1gold. Currently the cost of one kilo of rice is 2 bronze.
Various items sometimes a lot with the price of bronze but menial work in their small village sometimes only get paid two bronze per day.
So it can be in the shadows why rice and other raw materials are quite expensive. That is because the selling price of grain from farmers is only 10 wen perkg while the price of rice is almost 10 times the price of grain. Therefore, the villagers will only store and eat their own rice from being sold to the container.
In other words, the cost of fees to the district city is equal to the cost of one kg of grain of village farmers. Sometimes many residents are willing to walk to the city rather than take a train of cows. But Lanlan refused to walk on the grounds her legs were 'torn'
Two hours are needed for the ox train to get to the district city. The Ox train only reaches the entrance of the city and will return to the village again at noon. There are currently two ox trains in the village.There are two repeat trips so there is no need to fear missing the train later in the afternoon.
In the city of jian county, Lanlan walked leisurely around the city. Her second husband just followed her steps without asking but she was obviously not happy. What need her to go to the city if we do not have money.Tak matter what she has been wanted by her brother in order to be patient along the way.
After being content to roam lanlan arrived at a store that sold clothes. The same store lined up along the way but only this store specialized in selling women's and children's clothing.
"Hello can I help you? " the salesperson is friendly because the business competition is quite tight. So even though the customer does not promise the important mosquito meat is still meat at the end.
"Hello, sorry I happened to have a product to sell. Hmm can I ask the master? " Said Lanlan. He's got a product he made last night in the room. Lanlan is not a seamstress or a reliable embroider but only this one product is not a problem for him but it also needs a little time. It's just a picture of a dress.
This salesperson is pretty reliable. Many village women also sell their embroidery products to the store and when the master researches the ingredients will also be appreciated some wen. So Lanlan coming to sell the goods was also reasonable according to her.
She asked the couple to sit and wait while her second husband remained as still as he was in that direction. Before long the salesman asked Lanlan to go in to meet the owner's wife because this problem was handled by his wife. Her husband would only research items because women and men were taboo to simply ask in public.
Lanlan entered still in follow this skinny man. According to the behavior all can guess his position. So there is no special treatment.
"All right, let's go straight to madam? " this woman in her thirties is quite friendly in welcoming guests. A smile cannot be separated from his face.
"Sun mrs sun" Lanlan said introducing herself.
"Can I lend you a brush and paper? "Ask Lanlan. Of course, the store owner was surprised.usually there was only embroidery material for sale but never wanted to borrow two things. But he bit his teeth to figure out what the village lady in front of him meant.
On paper Lanlan drew something quickly and concisely and then she gave up on the drawing she made.
"What'sthis? " A strange picture that is not so clear but a little interesting. There are two real pictures. One picture with a pattern of two large circles and another picture is a woman with a chest covered by the circle.
Do not forget that at this time the woman only wears a cloth in the form of a triangle and two hammer as a binder to cover the body of this part. So this picture is a little interesting to her.
"This is a breast cover, please,I can't sew and I don't have the materials for that either but I can direct how to make it.If you want we can make one example first so you're sure "
"Right, what's the price? "
"Regarding the price I will sell this image and not participate in its development and sales going forward so if possible before we make one example item I want to ask for one third the original price of this image as the sign and for now is just what you're going to offer" obviously Lanlan.She did not know about the decent price for this picture instead she gave up on the store owner because Lanlan was sure the store owner was an honest person from the beginning.
"What if one's silver? " ask her. Hearing that The skinny man beside Lanlan almost vomited blood. Is it true that only this image can make money.
"Mrs can go up a little bit, though, if this business succeeds the mistress has nothing to lose.From this image can be made with residual cloth regardless of the color of the material.The selling price is up when using finer materials.And this will be more profitable because only you are the one who can sell this product now.I saeankan you can also sell the same image on the third party for other benefits because obviously this product will be easy to copy. So I advise you to make some copies to pack into other stores. I think this idea will be worth many times if you don't want to lose"
Lanlan thought in this age there were no patents yet so anyone could replicate the booming products of others. So the idea of reselling his sketches was natural for Lanlan to. But Lanlan did not want to be complicated so he proposed this to attract the price again.
"Your idea is good, so why don't you sell this picture to someone else? "
"Oh I want to undergo long-term cooperation with you.I have thousands of other ideas to develop in the future"
"really? so what about one gold if it works out to be four gold? " this has been thought that in a short time there will be a hundred images that will be sold in a hundred stores in other cities. There may be a price reversal.
Again the skinny man vomited blood....
